Washington. April THE Indiana
Republican convention, with it's inn

carry it forward in other states"

.ROOSEvELTS GO over
HONEYMOON ROUTE
viii Be Out Of Public View for
Next Few Days.

Rome, April with his departure
from this city last night Colonel
Roosevelt intends to drop out of the
public view as completely as possible
until he and his wife arrive at Genoa
on April 13.
In furtherance of this plan he has
asked the newspaper correspondents,
who have been with him up to the
present time, to leave the party tenn
porarily, not rejoining him until he
reaches Genoa.
There is sentimental side to the
ex-president's desire for privacy at
this time, as he and Mrs. Roosevelt
wish to retravel their honeymoon
route of twenty-four years ago along
the shores of the Mediterranean be
tween Spezia and Genoa.
So strong is their desire for isola
tion that even Kermit and Ethel will
be with them but little between the
time of their departure and arrival al

Adversely to Senator Beveridge and
Endanger Victory at the PoIls-Trip
to Middle West Will Be curtaiIe
Several Days.
Washington, April 7.-President
Taft has cancelled his engagement to
visit Indianapolis on May 5. While
no statement has been issued in re-
gard to this decision it is believed to
be the direct result of the events at
the Indiana state Republican conven-
ton.
1t is not even admitted at the White
House that the president had a def
mite engagement to visit Indianapolis,
although dispatches from that city
several days ago announced that the
president would be there from 2:15
p. M until midnight on May 5.
In view of the circumstances sur
rounding the convention of the In
diana Republicans it was said by
friends of the administration that If
the president spoke at Indianapolis at
compelled to express again his well
known views regarding the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill.
1t was argued that if the president
should do this it might be interpreted
adversely to Senator Beveridge and,
rather than be put in that attitude, the
president will give Indiana wide
berth in his forthcoming visit to the
Middle West.
Desires to Avoid Fight.
No matter what Senator Beveridge's s
attitude toward the administration
may be-and the president told sew
eral of his callers, it is said, that he
had no doubt in his own mind on that
| subject-he did not care to be drawn
into the Indiana fight in any way. The
president is anxious for Republican
success in Indiana and hopes that the
Republicans, under whatever leader
ship they choose, may be able to turn
the tide against the Democrats.
1t was said at the White House that
the presidents trip West, which be-
gins April 20, probably will be cur.
| tailed several days and it was intimat.
ed that this was likely responsible for
the failure to visit Indianapolis The
! president had planned to spend three
or four days in Cincinnati, but it is
now likely that he will be there only
on May g. He will be in st. Louis on
May 4, according to the revised plan
and be back in Washington the morn
ing of May 6.
