WEST SEES ROOSEVELT
 LEADING INSURGENTS

Minneapolis. Aug. 1s.-Progressive Republicans of the northwest and central west foresee in Colonel Roose- velt's reported break with President Taft the assumption by the Colonel of the active leadership of the insur- gent wing Of the party.
 Representative Charles R. Davis, a leading Minnesota insurgent in an interview today said:
 "The state central committee of New York has fired an arrow into the arnor of Roosevelt Now you will doubtless see whole ouivers of the same quickly shot back by "a man who knows how to fight.
 "I am not surprised at the attitude of MT. Roosevelt. His statement coming at such time, will be worth much to the progressive cause this fall
 "Very evidently MT. Roosevelt had until this time hoped to harnonize all clements in the party both in New York and in the nation. I fear the moment has come when MT. Roose- welt realizes the fight will have to be made for Republican principles and policies which he himself inau- guratA6."

NOT A NOISE MADE
 AT SUMMER CAPITAL

Beverly, Aug. 1s.--If there is any break in the friendly circuit between Oyster Bay and the summer capital, the fracture is visible only at the New York end. Rumors that the ex- President had at last declared against the Taft administration were received here today with considerable interest but no statement or comment was forthcoming.
 Among those closest to the President the rumor that an open break was im- pending is given more or less credence in view of what has happened dur ing the past few weeks. Secretary Norton absolutely refused to be in terviewed on the subject but it was noted that he read all of the des- patches carefully and put them aside for Taft's perusal.
 If became known here today that the first gun in the campaign to rid the administration of Speaker Can non is shortly to be fired. A politi- elan in close touch with the President and his advisers will shortly issue a statement denouncing Cannonism and declaring that he must be eliminated from party coencils. It is known this statement has the endorsement of the President.
 President Taft left this afternoon in an automobile for Hopedale. Mass. where Governor Draper has his home. and where the Executive will spend the night and most of tomorrow as the Governors guest. The visit is purely social one.

 POLITICAL SENSATION
Continued from Page 1.) TEDDY BACK INTO
 POLITICAL GAME

Oyster Bay, Aug 1s.-Theodore Roosevelt got hack into the thick of the political game today. Leaders, who in the past have been his active lieutenants. came here to concer with him and his home on Sagamore Hill presented the animated appearance 1t did when this placid village on Long Island Sound was the summer capi- tal With only four days, one of them Sunday, intervening before he starts on his first speech-making tour, Roosevelt denied himself to all who did not have appointments and all in formation regarding what was going on inside the house was withheld.
 The automobile men. ir New York and adjacent towns to Oyster Bay, reaped harvest today. In order to keep their identity secret, many of the Roosevelt callers either made the trip from New York by auto or drop ped off the trains before reaching the bay and came on to Sagamore Hill by vehicles. In this way they were able to dodge waiting correspondents and keep from being questioned as to the nature of their business with Roosevelt.

Republican National Committeeman. and Vice President Sherman. on one hand. and the close political advisers of Presi- dent Taft on the other. whereby MT. Woodruff was to be reelected state chairman and MT. Sherman was to be chosen as the temporary presiding officer of the Saratoga convention.
 MT. Woodruff has pledged President Taft the New York delesation to the National Convention in 1912 in return for the Presidents support.
 'The erstwhile President will have no word of criticism of whom he may choose as his successor in the White House. It will not be a surprise. how ever, to those who are close to MT. Roosevelt if he finds himself placed in such a position that he will be forced to become an avowed candidate for the Presidential nomination in 1912. 7

It is said that he knew at the time the New York State leaders had promised President Taft that if he would stand by them in the state fight this fall they would stand by him when it came to a question of delegates for the national convention in 1912.

BILL TO CONSERVE COAL
Alaska Delegate Would Establish a
National Fuel Reserve.

Washington. Feb. 1.-The coal fields
of Alaska, just now so much under dis
cussion in Washington and throughout
the country, are the subject of a
lengthy bill introduced in the house by
Delegate Wickersham of Alaska, pro-
viding that $4,000 acres of the best coal
bearing lands of Alaska be set aside by
the United States in perpetuity as the
national coal reserve
Provision is made for the withdrawal
of {. 900 acres each from the Katalla and
Matanasuka districts and 5000 more
from the Kenar and Alaska peninsuar
areas.
A board of national coal reserve is to
be established consisting of one naval
officer one member of the geological
survey and one other member having
practical knowledge of coal mining and
transportation. This board is to survey
and select the best coal lands.
The secretary of the interior is di-
rected to furnish to the attorney gen.
eral all information regarding private
coal claims in Alaska and the latter Of
fetal is directed to investigate each
claim and compel return of the prop
erty to the United States in every case
where there is any irregularity and
such returned claims are also to be-
come a part of the national reserve.
One hundred thousand dollars is ap-
propriated for the use of the board Of
national coal reserve.

BIBLES TO COST MORE.
Increased Tariff in Payne Bill Causes
an Advance.

Chicago, Feb. BIBLES are to cost
more. Not content with putting a
tax upon nearly everything the COM
mon people eat and wear; not satisfied
with levying an impost upon the aver
age mans coffin and even upon his
tombstone; not content with taxing
the public from the cradle to the
grave, the tariff genius has pursued
the American citizen further still
and propose to collect total for the
saving of his soul.
A joker just found in the new tariff
law adds Is per cent to the duty on
Bibles
The news became public when a
large number of religious periodicals
appeared carrying advertisements in
serted by Bible distributors to the ef-
feet that, owing to an increase in
the tariff, we are obliged to withdraw
our prices on all Bibles and Testa-
ments listed in our 1909 catalogue
Bibles are to cost 15 to 20 per cent
more than ever before in the history
of the county.
The joker which made these
changes in the catalogues necessary,
it develops. was discovered by the
Bible importers only a few weeks ago.
Under the old tariff law a duty of 25
per cent was imposed on all Bibles
whose chief cost is paper" The new
law contains this phrase, but the tar
iff bandits, with deep cunning, added
also the phrase land 40 per cent on
all Bibles whose chief cost is leather 81
The joke-the laugh, If you like
of this provision lies in the fact that
the chief cost of virtually all the bet
ter class of Bibles imported into this
country is in the binding of the books
The joker, in effect. puts tax OF
40 per cent on all of the good English
editions of the holy writ.
The two big importers of English
Bibles are Thomas Nelson & Sons and
the oxford Press. Both of these con-
Germs have notified the distributing
concerns that Bible prices must go up
Smaller concerns have followed their
lead, and the advance in prices for
Bibles is to be general throughout the
country.
