OIL SMELLING ORE
PLANT MAY COME HERE
Los Angeles Capitalist in San
Francisco Looking for Site

Proceeding on the belief. made def
mite and sure by countless experiments,
that OIL has solved the problem of
smelling iron ore cheaply, George l.
Moselle, a capitalist of Los Angeles, is
in the city looking for an available
site for a smelter. Moselle is at the
St. Francis hotel. and he represents the
United States iron and steel company, a
slO,00O,00O Incorporation recently
formed at Los Angeles.
II is the desire of the company to
locate its smeIter near a tidewater
Preferably Moselle wishes to remain
on this side Of the bay If available
land can not be found, however, the
smelter viii be built on the Oakland or
Richmond side Of the bay. The local
project calls for the expenditure of
$15OO.000.
we have 90,00O,0OO tons of iron ore
i'm sight at kelso, San Bernardino coun-
ty," said Moselle yesterday. 1t will run
more than so per cent iron. We have
other iron beds under control, but the
san Bernardino field is the largest 1t
appears that the deposit is good for at
least 90 years development.
The oil process we viii use is a
simple one; besides it is very cheap"

ROOSEVELT AT HOME.

Oyster Bay. y. V, Nov. 6.-After a
week of continuous travelling, in which
he covered more than 5000 miles and
made speeches in New York, Mary
land, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa. Theo-
doro Roosevelt returned to his home
in oyster Bay today for a brief rest
before Dlunging into politics again. 1t
Will be very brief. Beginning at 7.40 to-
morrow he will make seven Open-air
speeches Of 10 minutes each, five of
them before 10 o'clock, then visit his
offices for conference and luncheon,
and dash out again for two more
speeches in the early afternoon. His
public itinerary viii end at | o'clock
ard where he will spend the rest Of
the dav. he did not care to say tonight
Mr.. StimSon. the candidate for gov
ernor, whom h? is supporting. will
speak twice tomorrow and in the eve
ming they will both be guests of the
Hungar ian Republican Club on the
East Side. where they will both speak
again.
The colonel reached New York this
morning from Cleveland. Ohio. where
he spoke last night. and after visiting
Dr.. HolbrOOk Curtis to have his throat
treated. came to oyster Bay by auto
mobile. He was tired today and de-
clned to make any election phophe-
cies. He said that he had come home
to rest and not talk politics. The news
that Judge Baldwin of Connecticut is
to sue him for SANDER brought no
comment
When the colonel finishes his last
speech tomorrow night he will have
concluded one of the hardest fights Of
ms political career. 1t was a fight into
which he said he was drawn unwill-
ingly anG he took it up because he be-
licved that circumstances had made ii
necessary for him to lick the bosses
in his party and then to take IN the
campaign for the ticket which he
helped to select" Assertions that his

BALDWIN WILL SUE.
Col. Roosevelt Refuses to Retract, So
Baldwin Seeks Justice.

New Haven, Ct, Nov. 6.-Judge
Simeon +. Baldwin. Democratic nom
inee fol governor. Saturday night an
nOunCed that he would bring suit
AGAINST former President Roosevelt on
account of certain statements report
ed to have been made by Mr.. RoOSe-
vet in Il speech in New Hampshire
relative to Judge Baldwin's attitude
on labor legislation.
Mr.. Baldwin said he had asked Col.
Roosevelt to retract the statement and
that the latter had failed to do so
The statement referred to was re-
ported to have been made in a speech
and was to the effect that the position
taken by Judge Baldwin on the en-
ployers' liability question. was re-
progressive.
Mr. Baldwin was asked if he had re-
ceived Mr.. Roosevelt's letter of Nov.
H. He said that he had received one
bearing that date, signed "Theodorc
Roosevelt enclosed in 4 letter signed
Frank Harper Secretary" in which
the latter stated that the letter had
been dictated to him by Mr.. Roosevelt
and that he was signing and sending
it on Nov. A.
Judge Baldwin then said:
"Assuming this letter to be authentic
the matter stands thus:
Il have asked Mr.. Roosevelt to re
tract a statement which he made in a
speech in New Hampshire. as to my
holding Al certain view of a point of
law
He denies that he made the state
ment in the form in which it is re-
ported by the stenographer and widely
published.
He also. if I understand his letter
of Nov. ,, has written me that the
statement. if made, was true.
Il shall waste no more words upon
| him. but intend. when | have leisure
| to attend to it. bring suit on account
| of his making the statement. which
have no doubt was. in fact. correctly
reported
II should have been better pleased
| if he had made a frank retractiOn. AS
he has refused to do this. l regard it
as my duty to bring him to Justice

--Reward for Mrs. Crippen.

London Nov. Cdr. Hawley II.
Crippen convicted of the murder OF
his wife, BeHe Gilmore. the actress.
Saturday played his last card and
lost. He Will he hanged on Nov. $.
The criminal court of appeals
heard his appeal from the con
viction Of the lower court and decided
against him on AL points. The court
refused to grant a new trial and con-
frmed the order of execution. which
will be carried out on Tuesday next.
Save for the office of the eXecutlon'r,
Saturdays proceedings brought to Il
close one of the most sensational muir
der cases with which the English laN
has mad to deal in many years. Grip
pen. who maintained an air of cont
dnnc, during the trial, was a changed
man when he appeared in court Satur-
day. 1t was plain that he had tailed
physically. his face was pale ana lf~ile
had any hope of a new trial his looks
beliad him.
His counsel, Alfred A. Tobin urged
that the conviction of his client was
not IN accordance with the law, but
lis argument failed to impress Judges

C-ippen drew another great crowd t.
tire New Bailey court. Justices Oar
ling. CHANNEL and Pickford heard the
appeal
Crippen was brought into the dock
He was very pale and evidently had
lost strength since his conviction.
The prisoners counsel were the same
as appeared for him at his trial The
principal grounds upon which they basec
their appeal were, first, that one of the
jurors. having been taken i'll in the trial
was removed from the court by physi
clans without being in the custody of ar
officer: second, the identity of the corpse
found in the cellar of the Crippen home
had not been established and, third, that
the crowns rebutting evidence had beer
improperly admitted.
Solicitor Tobin said that it was moi
charged that anyone had tempered witt
the juror which he was temporarily ex
cused but that an important principle OF
law was involved.
In reply, the crown offered the evidence
of bailiff that the juror was in hi:
charge throughout his illness.
Deciding this point, the court ruled tina
