PRESIDENT TAFT DENIES
BREAK WITH ROOSEVELT
Says He Didn't Favor choIce OF
Sherman Over the Ex-Presidsnt.
HIS TELEGRAM WAS SUPPRESSED
President Also Says That MI. Slier-
man Over Telephone Suggested
Root for Temporary Chairman
of New York Convention.

New York.-President William HI.
Taft has broken his long silence con-
corning the part he has taken in the
present muddle of Republican politics
in this state.
In a long letter to Lloyd G. Girls
com, president of the Republican
state committee, written at Beverly
and made public here by Mr.. Girls
com, the President emphatically de-
mics that he aided or abetted in any
way in the turning down of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt as temporary
chairman of the Republican state
committee by the members of the
New York state Republican machine
on Tuesday, August Is, or that he
even knew that Vice-President James
S. Sherman was to be selected for
the place.
The President goes further and
makes public a copy Of the telegram
which he sent to Mr.. Sherman be-
fore the meeting of the committee
and in which he, the President, adj
vised the Vice-President before taxi
ing any action first to see William L..
Ward and Timothy Woodruff and
then all three have a full conference
with Mr.. Roosevelt. This is the tele-
gram which M. X. Hart, ex-assembly-
man from Oneida county, at Utica on
Saturday charged Mr.. Sherman with
deliberately ~suppressing.
Mr.. Sherman did not carry out the
wishes of the President. Neither he
nor Mr.. Ward nor Mr.. Woodruff went
near Colonel Roosevelt until after
the committee meeting, nor did they
indicate to him in any way that Mr..
Sherman's name was to be considered
by the committee and not his own.
The President further states that
on the day before the committee
meeting Mr.. Sherman telephoned him
from New York that a movement was
on foot to oppose Colonel Roosevelt
for temporary chairman, but that the
only other name mentioned for the
place was that of Elihu Root.

HEALTH AUTHORITIES WAGE
WAR ON INFANTILE PARALY SlS
Springfield Decides to Postpone the
Opening of Schools as
a P~recautiOn.
a Precaution.

Washington. The annual cpl
demic of infantile paralysis in the
District of Columbia, and, in fact, al
most the entire country, has aroused
the physicians and psychologists OF
the public health and marine hospital
service.
For several days Walter Wyman,
surgeon general, has been in consulta-
ton with his best men. The bacter-
biologists of the bureau have been con-
Quoting experiments In the hospital
laboratory, while DR.. Wade Hampton
Snow has been studying cases in the
field.
The Office is also receiving reports
of cases, their progress and what
treatment they are receiving, from
every community which has a case.
The scientists are convinced thai
the disease is contagious and have
sent out warnings similar to those
concerning tuberculosis. They credit
DR.. Flexner of the Rockefeller insti-
tute with making this discovery. DR..
Flexner injected blood taken from a
child suffering from ~infantile paraly-

animal was stricken
Surgeon General Wyman says that
nowhere in the country is the disease
SO bad as it was last year, when the
state of New York had 1000 cases,
and the year before when Massachu-
sets had 1000 and the states of Ne
braska, Kansas and Wisconsin had an
extensive epidemic. The surgeons
can offer no suggestions as to pre-
venting the spread other than clean,
sanitary habits. The only remedy
they know is proper diet and massag-
ing.
Springfield, Mass.-Frost alone, in
the opinion of the health department
and leading physicians, will stamp
out the infantile paralysis epidemic
which has gained Roadway steadily in
Central New England since early in
June. The board of health consid-
cred the question of anterior polio
myelitis in relation to the public
schools, and it was unanimously
voted to recommend that the opening
Of the schools be postponed for two
weeks. Many well to do parents with
children are leaving the city.
There are approximately $50 cases
in Springfield and vicinity.
Several cases and fatalities are re-
ported in Sufield. Conn, ten miles
south of Springfield.
According to reports received here
from the Hartford health department
there are two possible cases there.

this city will be inaugurated at once
as the result of an investigation into

tain restrictions that have been placed
upon the boys in such a way as to
prevent their being employed by an

also be removed. The investigators
learned that the boys have been COM

THREE HELD FOR ILLINOIS
CENTRAL $t,500000 FRAUD
Death of President Rawn Said to
Have Headed OFF His Prosecution
for Looting Company.

Chicago.-Three former executive
officers of the Central Illinois Rail-
road Company were arrested here on
warrants in connection with the al
legged frauds by means of which the
railroad lost, it is said, s1~,500.000.
The men arrested are Frank B.
Hartman, formerly general manager
Of the road; Charles L. Ewing, for
merly manager of lines north of the
Ohio river, and John M. Taylor, for
merly general storekeeper of the
road.
The warrants, sworn to by Presi-
dent j. T. Harahan of the Illinois
Central railroad, charge the three
men with conspiracy to cheat and de-
fraud the railroad by false %pretenses
and with operating a confidence game.
Hartman and Ewing were taken to
the Harrison street police station.
Their bonds of 100000 each were
signed by a professional bondsman.
The allegations in the graft case
are startling. The investigation be-
gan a year ago. It reached a crisis
last spring, when President Harahan
began actions to GOV sums said
to aggregate more than 100000
alleged to have been taken from the
road by car repair companies with
the c%onnivance of high officials of the
road. Hartman, Ewing, Taylor and
many others of less magnitude re-
signed their places. Much of the
money is said to have been repaid
privately.
The name of Ira G.. Rawn, who re-
signed a vice-presidency in the Illinois
Central road to become president of
the Monon system, and who was
found dead recently at his home with
a bullet wound in his breast, was
brought into the scandal. Murray
Nelson, Jr., attorney for the Illinois
Central, said that Rawn's death,
which it is intimated was self-in-
flicted, headed off warrants which
would have been issued for him.
An Official of the Illinois Central
road intimated that other warrants
would follow those issued. He also
predicted that other roads would
wake up and that their awakening
would produce more than one sur
DriSe.
