The investigation into the cause OF
the accident en- the North Dakota
where three mel. were killed anu mne
were injured it is beIieved here today,
will 90 behind the returns" and a
strenuous effort will be made to dis
cover the elementary trouble which
has caused three naval disasters since
last April. The fact that the North
Dakota was The latest product OF the
highest skill available in this country,
with no question OF money considered
in its construction, makes the situation
disheartening to naval officials. Ad-
miral Schroeder, after carefully ex-
amn;ng the machinery and the
euuipment in the room where the
accident occurred, declared that, in
his opinion, the men were not to
blame. 1t is his opinion that no element
OF carelessness entered into the situation.
This, it is believed, will put 1T up the
board OF inquiry to find what the
elementary trouble is behind the ire
uuency OF naval accidents.
The State Department today indi-
Gated that it looked upon the situation
in Panama, where elections are being
held today, rs OF little Importance, SO

Uaitcd States is concerned. 1t was
stated that Attacle Marsh was ordered

him merely because it appeared that
the alleged interview was being used for
political purposes. 1t was said that the
department was satisfied that Marsh
made no statement that could be con-
strued as indicating possible intervention
in the election by the United States.

Split idening.

Chicago, Sept 9.-The factionaI
split in the republican party in Illinois
is today wider than eyer as a result
OF the Roosevelt Lorimer incident.
Nothing in recent political history has
so stirred the political pot as the slap
administered to- Senator Lorimer and
his followers by Theodore Roosevelt:
It's effect will be far-reaching.
That it will rend the historic Hamil
ton Club asunder was predicted today
in many quarters. Lorimer is not only
member OF the club, but large
proportion OF it's membership is COM
posed OF Lorimer's friends and follow
ers. Wholesale designations and the
probable formation OF a new club is
torecasted today. Editorially the
morning newspapers commend Roose-
welt, except the Inter-Ocean, which is
friendly to Lorimer.

Conditions in Spain.

Madrid, Sept. 9.-The choice OF up
holding Premier Canaleias in his con-
duct Of the dispute with the Vatican,
thus precipiating clerical revolt, or OF
forcing him from Office and causing a
widespread uprising OF republicans,
will be presented. to the Cortes in
October.
The premier expressed confidence to-
day that the Cortes would uphold him.
His reply to the recent note OF the
Vatican, in which he declared the bill
prohibiting the creation of religious
establishments until the Concordat is re-
vised, will be adopted, means that it
will rest with the Cortes as to whether
the rupture with the Vatican becomes
permanent. The passage OF the bill
will make the breach irremediable.
King Alfonso has surprised everyone
by his continued stand by his premier.
His tirmness is attributed to know
ledge that should he desert Canaleias,
he will launch a clean-cut struggle be-
tween monarchy and republicanism,
rs in such case the church would
stand by Alfonso, and Don Jaime, the
pretendcr, would not figure i'll the fight.
The delicacy of the kings position is
emphasized by the doubt that the re-
publicans will not stand by him per-
manently, even if he should uphold
Canalejas. The question is whether
effective reforms in Spain are possible
under monarchy. The fight would
consequently resolve itself into a tri-
Angular conflict between Don jaime
and the clericals, Alfonso and the Con-
servatiye anti-clcricaIs, and the radicals.

THE refusal of Theodore Roosevelt

THE refusal of Theodore Roosevelt
to attend the dinner which was to
have been given him by the Hamilton
Club in Chicago last night if United
States Senator Lorimer, Of Illinois
we're present has brought forth some
criticism. In telling the. committee OF
his determination he is quoted us say
ing: Senator Lorimer represents the
antithesis OF what / represent III poii-
ties " This seems to be Il curious po-
sition for an .ex-prcsidcnt. Senator
Torimer is a member Of the Hamilton
Club. and as such would have been q
contributor towards paying the OK
nenses OF the dinner. Mr.. Roosevelt
was willing to become member OF
the party provided certain member
Of the political family, who was AIDING
in paying for the entertainment, was
excluded. Political pharlscclsm is rld-
iculous at any time, but when man
who has during the last nine years
been the recognized head OF party
guilty of many dark ways and yam
tricks appears with the white rose OF
innocence on his breast the picture Is
grotesque, to say the least. A cotcm-
porary in speaking OF he incident
saws: rs Lorimer the only republican
senator who has bought his way INTO
the Senate? Was not Roosevclt's way
bought into the White House Il fc"
wears ago? What about those 5o,o'"
votes that were changed by My Dcal

ROOSEVELT 4 POSSIBLE CAN
DIDATE.

Theodore Roosevelt admitted in Free
port, ILL.,, yesterday that there Is Il
possibility of his returning to public
life.
In this connection he issued warn
ing to corrupt corporations that any
aid they might extend him in obtain
ing an official place would be ut thell
own peril, and that they need not cx-
pect to get official favors or pardons
later.
Il don't suppose l ever shall be in
public life again" he said, but il
am there is always the chance that
some time it may come up when shall
make my words good. No corpora,
ton, no politician, must ever support
me ior anything under the idea that
will pardon that corporation or that
politician if he o. il is corrupt. II
either corporation or politician, If either
one or the other helps ut any time to
put me in q position Of influence, lei
them remember that if they benefit by
it themselves they help me at their
peril, for I will hurt them il get the
chance.
Mr.. Roosevelt especially warned the
men Of the five brotherhoods Of rail
way employees that it should be their
duty to see TINT their organizations
we're managed in obedience to law, and
he insisted that if they should ever in
dulge in any lawless action or violence
the result would be to injure them i'll
the estimation OF the American people.
He advocated workingman's com
pensation act as a measure OF justice
for railway employees who are injured
