Speak in New York.
DOUBTS ROOSEVELT STORY
Discredits Report That Colonel Will
Oppose Him in 1912.
WILL BEGIN MESSAGE SOON
To Recommend That States Be Given
Right to Lease Water Power
Sites Conditionally.

BEVERLY, Mass, October 15.-Presl-
dent Taft is going to do all he can to help
Col. Theodore Roosevelt win victory for
the republican state ticket in New York.
This fact was evidenced here tonight,
when it became known that the President
will ask two or three members Of his
cabinet to go to New York and assist in
the campaign there.
1t also became known here that Otto
I. Barnard and the other republican
leaders who declared in New York last
night that President Taft would not con-
slider a vote for Henry L. Stimson, the
republican nominee. for governor. as
vote in any way affecting his own can
didacy in 1912, did so with the direct au-
thority of the President.
Mr. Taft, it is said, takes absolutely no
stock in the stories that have been widely
circulated that Col. Roosevelt will oppose
him as a candidate in 1912 The matter
has been brought to his attention by a
number of callers during the summer, but
the President has laughed away the sug-
gestions. Others close to the administra-
ton do not share the Presidents view.
The President declines to discuss the
possibilities Of the situation from any
angle
Nagel Wanted in Ohio.
Secretary Nagel of the Department Of
Commerce and Labor,s Attorney General
Wickersham and Secretary Wilson Of the
Department of Agriculture may be the
cabinet officers selected to 60 to New

upon to help out in Ohio. Secretary VIII
son. if he goes to New York, would be
used up the state.
Presumably prssident Taft is not TAX
ing an active part in the campaign. 1t
is asserted in Beverly that President
Tafts influence, which includes the fed
eral OtticeholderS, practically saved the
day for Col Roosevelt at Saratoga. Now
the President is once more coming to the
rescue.
Mr.. Barnard, who made the announce
ment regarding the Presidents attitude in
the New York state fight, was a recent
House. 1t is said that there has been
a still more recent exchange of tele-
grams between him and the President
Whatever President Tafts ambitions
are, and whatever motives his advisers
attribute to Col Roosevelt, he is not
going to allow any of these issues to en-
danger republican success In New York
state if he can help ii.
Will See Leaders.
+ Mr. Taft unquestionably will be sought
by the New York leaders when he goes
to New York city next Week. 1t is not
believed that he will allow himself to be
quoted in any way, but his every utter
ance will be taken advantage of by the
leaders in defining his attitude.
President Taft soon will begin work on
his message to Congress. On the subject
OF conservation he will recommend that

ditions that if the sites are improperly
used they will revert to the national

Was in Front Rank.

Twice in the limelight as a strong vice
presidential possibility. and in the front
rank throughout his entire career in
Congress as an authority on tariff and
railroad rate legislation, Senator Doliver
was one of the strong figures In public
life. AS an orator. both in the halls of
Congress and on the lecture platform, he
never failed to charm his audiences with
his eloquence his incomparab BILE stories of
which he had an ineXhauStible fund, and
with his hOmely smiles. He was famed
particularly for the biting ridicule which
he was ever ready to hurl at a political
opponent. and which usually went un-
answered.
Senator Dolliver was born near King
wood, Preston county, Virginia now
West Virginia), February 9, 1858. He was
graduated in 1915 from the West Virginia
University and at twenty was admitted
to the bar. He soon removed to Iowa and
became prominent as a lawyer at Fort
Dodge. He was elected a republican
in 1888 to the Fifty-tirst Congress as a
representative of the tenth district. That

continued in the Fifty-second, Fifty-third,
Fifty fourth, Fifty-fifth and FYfty-sixth
Congresses. August %. 1900. he was ap-
pointed by the then governor. Leslie NJ
Shaw. to fill vacancy in the United
States Senate caused by the death Of Sem
ator Gear He was elected in 1902 to sue
ceed himself and reelected in 1907 for a
term which would have expired March g.
1913.
His Part in Tariff Legislation.
When the Dingley tariff law was en-
acted Mr. Dolliver was a member Of the
committee on ways and means of the
Eouse. He distinguished himself then
ior the active part which he took in MAX
iI.g tina. law. Although more independent
THAI. many, he was then known as a
standpatter. Iowa being an agricultural
state, he successfully advocated protec-
ton for all products of the soil
During the administration of President
Roosevelt. in the height of agitation for
the regulation of freight rates, Mr.. Dol
liver, who had gone to the Senate, filled
conspicuous role. The Hepburn Dol
liver law, amendatory OF the original act
creating the interstate commerce COM
mission. was to large extent the product
of his labors, although after that meas
ure was reported to the Senate 1T under
went many changes of which he did not
approve.
1t was in connection with the enact
ment of the Payne-Aldrich tarin bill dur
ing the present Congress that Senator
Dolliver attracted the greatest attention
throughout the country. During the life

only word from her came by means of
the wireless telegraph.
Numerous messages were received
during the day. and the latest indicated
that WellmaQ is tonight sailing north
eastward along the Long Island sound.
The ship, according to this last word
from her adventurous crew. has set a
northeasterly course with the inten-
tion Of getting into the northern lane

A Dramatic Departure.

Quent sensations. Roundly criticised by
people who did not believe that he would
ever undertake what was thought to be
fooihardy venture, Wellman startled
the whole island by bringing the America
out of the hangar and without any cere-
mony going into the air. For the last
thirty days the public had expectantly
awaited some move from the intrepid
crew Day after day is was announces
that a trial flight would be made as soon
as conditions were perfect. Early this
week IL was announced that the airship
would. positively make trial flight, and
when no effort was made to bring the
ship out OF the big shed the criticisms OF
Wellman and his crew became not only
stronger but more numerous.
1t was about I'm. today that the final
decision to go up was made by Chief En-
gineer Vaniman. All night he watched
the weather. and as the dawn approached
he decided that now was the time Rous-
ing the other members of the crew who
slept i'm the hangar. Vaniman called Well
man on the telephone at the Hotel Chal-
fonte and notified him that the time TO
start had arrived.
Fairly jumping into his khaki uniform
Wellman summoned the members of his
family and soon was on the way to the
island in an automobile. Naniman was
also busy Calling up Mayor Stoy and
the chief of the fire, and police depart
ments. Faniman got the 200 men promised
him to help get the great airship out of
the hangar. When all arrived and all

FOOD CoLORS LATEST FAD.
Londoners Now Eating In Fashion
abIc Tints.


Fashions are not confined to hats
and clothes in London. 1t has beei
discovered that residents of the me
tropolis are also exceedingly particular
that the food they buy shall be Of the
fashionable tint.
Salmon. for instance, remains I'M
sold if it IS not the required shade of
deep rose. If it is too light no one will
have it. though dealers say its favor
is just as good.
In paddock an exactly opposite taste
prevails: only light colored paddock is
purchased, though til right yellow
fish is of as excelle. 4alit as that
Of pale cream color.
In poultry London insists upon
white or black legged chickerJ and
will not buy fowls with yellow legs,
though they are just as good. Gray
geese are scorned in favor of white.
though a countryman who knows
something of poultry farming will pre-
fer the gray goose.
In eggs the brown variety reigns su-
preme favorite, though they are not a
bit richer than white eggs. Pale
cheese and buttercup yellow butter are
also in great demand because their
color pleases the public.
Bright yellow bananas are far more
popular than the spotted fruit of paIer
hue, which are of better flavor. Bright
colored apples and pears bring more
than brown pears or green apples,
which are just as sweet. while grapes
with bloom on them are worth u
cents pound more

PUZZLED IN PICKING TITLES
Stringent English Rules Make Sc
lection Hard Task.


The seven new English peers put
on the birthday honor list by King
George are having trouble In picking
their titles. They may choose their
own titles unless they infringe on the
accepted rules; otherwise the crown
will, in diplomatic language, COM
mand the new peers to guess again.
The first rule is that after a title has
once been held by Il member of the
royal family it will never afterward
be bestowed on a subject not of the
blood royal
The second rule is that no peer rank
ing below an earl can choose for his
title the name of u county or coun-
ty town. There are a number of
counties vacant. including Flint,
Merioneth. Banf. Clackmannan. Dunn
barton, Kirkcudbright. Monaghan and
ooscommon
The next rule is that when a GER
tain designation once has been used
for peerage. even if that peerage has
long been extinct, the title will not be
renewed for a peerage of lower de-
gree. 1t was not until Lord Hawkes.
bury, for instance. had been raised to
an earldom that the designation of
Liverpool was revived.
Another rule Is that where former
peerage is in allegiance or under attain
der the title OF it shall not be chosen
for a new creation. except by the heir.
because there is always the chance the
attainder may be reversed. Lord Leith
of INrrin doSivn1 RI no
Fyvie. but the old peerage Of that
name. now under attainder. stood in
the way.
If new peer desires to take his sur
name as his title be may do so. no
matter how many other living peers of
the same name there may be. Thus
Lord Russell Of Killowen was so Gre
ated. although there was already an
Earl Russell.
There are now living three Lords
Boyle. Bruce. Douglass. Hay. Herbert
and Hill. four Lords Grey and five
Lords Howard and Hamilton. For
this reason. although there is already
Lord Villiers, no objection will be
raised by the king if Sir J. de Villiers
chooses to become Lord Villiers.
To choose n territorial title the peer
must show a reason, as ownership Of
the land. manor title cannot be
chosen unless the new peer owns the
manor itself. ". d. Mackenzie, who
owns the manor of Thetford, prevent
ed, by protest. the comforting of the
title of Lord Thetford on the subject
who is now Lord Fisher. Lord Michel
son bought the manor of Nicholson to
qualify for his title
Where q manor has been unfran-
chised or ownership of a manor town
split up the representative Of that
place in parliament has the right to
select the name for n title.
Many recently created peers have
chosen the names of London suburbs
as. for instance. Lord Battersea and
Lord Wandsworth. Lord Loreburn
took the name of a street in Edin-
burgh. Lord Selby took his wife's SUI
name.
