RoosEvsLT's DIVIDED INTEREST

oyster Bay, N Y. July 24.-The news that Judge Kinkade of Toledo had declined to be a candidate for gov ernor of ohio on the republican ticket brought forth no comment today from Col Roosevelt Two other men in whom Roosevelt has a deep personal interest are also mentioned for the nomination They are Garfield, a close friend and an ex-secretary of the in- terior, and his son-in-law, Nicholas Longworth. When Garfield met Roosevelt the latter let it be seen that his warm personal regard for Garfield was not affected by the lat ter's attitude toward the Taft admin istration, but he is unwilling to eX- press an opinion, under the present circumstances, as to Garfield's stand in Ohio. He frankly admits a deep interest in the situation in Ohio, but he let no further statement be drawn from him.

HIS DEFEAT IMMINENT
In the Platform Convention Which Will Meet Tomor- row. An Overwhelming Majority Against County Option Plank.

Grand Island. July 24.-The demo- crats of Nebraska will hold plat form convention in this city on Tues day, which promises to be of greater interest than any gathering of the kind held in the state in many years. That there will be d contest to secure county option plank in the plat form is admitted by every leader of the democratic state organization, and the contest will be carried on by leaders who heretofore have agreed in every way on what democratic platforms should contain. MT. Bryan. for the first time since he took the leadership of the party. will be op- posed by his former associates within his own state.
 The fight for and against local op- tion has become an open one. MT. Bryan and his friends are actively engaged in an attempt to secure the option plank, while Congressman Hitchcock of Omaha and Mayor James Dahlman. supported by Governor ShalIenberger, are equally active in an effort to secure a declaration against the plank.
 The situation is unusual because the men who at present are most act lively opposing MT Bryan were for merly his strongest supporters.
 There is little doubt that the anti county option men will present a plank that will be heartily opposed by Mir Bryan and his friends MT Bryan has always been given a place on the resolutions committee when he attended state conventions, and his policies have always prevailed in writing platforms.
 That he will be accorded the same courtesy of appointment on Tuesday is generally admitted. although it is believed there will be an over whelHing majority opposed to him on the question of county option. It is now apparent that he will carry the fight to the floor of the convention. and there make a plea for a straight option plank.
 Six hundred of the 800 delegates are either instructed or are known to be opposed to such plank and ex- treme interest centers on what effect Mir Bryans speech on the conven- ton floor will have.
 Richard Metcalfe, who is associated with MT Bryan in the publication of the latter's paper. has announced his candidacy for senator at the last moment. in opposition to Mir. Hitch cock He has received the unquali- fled endorsement of MT. Bryan. Both Bryan and Metcalfe, were formerly employed by Hitchcock, and all three have been closely associated in the political world until now.
 NIT. Bryan oppoHtntS nave Hlsiue the cause of Hitchcock theirs. and openly declare that the time has come when Mir Bryan shOul step down and out as the leader of the party, and they are directing their efforts to that end
 Three candidates are making the fight for the gubernatorial nOmina- tion. They are Governor Shallen- berger. Mayor Dahlman of Omaha, and w. R. Patrick of South Omaha. a member of the last legislature. Pat rick is the Bryan candidate. Shallen- | berger is making this campaign or his two-years' record in office. and Dahlman. who stands squarely fol personal liberty" is making a par ticularly strong fight against county option The primaries will be held or | August 2.

GAS EXPLOSION
 KILLS ELEVEN
Power House of New York
 Central Blows Up. ,
200 OTHERS ARE INJURED.

Earthquake-like Shock Caused by a
 Train Breaking Loose and Crashing
 Into Gas Pipes, Which Immediately
 Began to Leak-A Spark From the
 Third Rail Did the Rest.
 A runaway train, speeding into a bumper in the new power station of the New York Central Railroad com pany at Fiftieth street and Lexington avenue, New York, crashed into con crete pillar, broke loose the connec- tions leading to tanks of Pintsch gas, used for lighting trains, and two ex- plosions followed, as a result of which eleven persons are known to be dead. Two hundred others were injured by the earthquake-like shock. Buildings within radius of half a mile were damaged, and the power station itself caught fire.
 So great was the force of the explo- sion that trolley car on the Lexing- ton avenue line which was passing Fiftieth street was hurled from the track, two men and two women who were passengers in the car were in stantly killed, and a chauffeur who was driving an automobile belonging to the New York Edison company was slightly injured. The automobile was

struck by the overturning trolley with such force that it was demolished and the chauffeur hurled many feet from the machine.
 Later in the day Albert Seagrott, motorman of train that was pulling out of the Grand Central station just before the accident, was arrested at the order of Coroner Holtzhauser.
 Seagrott said that he was making up a train at o'clock in the morning, and, although he applied the brakes. the car skidded and ran into the bumper. When he returned with more cars at o'clock he detected the odor of escaping gas and then discovered that on his first trip he had broken a pipe. He said he notified Yard Master Lucy and his assistant, James E. Bow CT, of the accident. He was held on a technical charge of homicide.
 Nc one had a definite idea of what had really happened. and the officials after several hours of investigation were not able to say whether or not there had been dynamite explosion as a supplement to the gas shock.
 One story has it that laborer drop ped a crowbar across the third rail while working at the derailed car and that the flame following the short cir cult fired the gas, which, mixing with the air, had become highly explosive. Most of the men in the immediate neighborhood of the broken pipe were either killed or too badly hurt to talk. Railroad officials say that it is very likely that an electric spark of some kind set off the blast. s---.a
 It is agreed, however, that the eS plosion came as one mighty shock |. tore upward and outward through tn. power station building, unroofng it and sending the north walls into Eff tieth street. The east wall was pushed bodily out into Lexington avenue. The blast seemed to rebound from the solid wall of the six story ventilating plant just to the west of the power station.

u s. UNpREPARED FOR WAR?
Secretary Dickinson In Annual Report to Congress Says We Are at the
 Mercy of an Attacking Force.

Secretary of War Dickinson has transmitted to congress his report on the house resolution calling for a de- tailed statement of the preparedness of the United States for war.
 The report declares the United States is almost totally unprepared for war, the regular army being too small, the militia inadequate and the forts on both coasts unprepared to repel an enemy. Tn the report the secretary draws dark picture. of the disasters which would overtake American arms should war with any first class power occur.
 The secretary asserts that an enemy would have no trouble in effecting landings on the Pacific or Atlantic coasts. Alaska and other exposed parts of the country are reported to be at the mercy of an attacking force.
 Following the reception of the report Representative Hobson of Alabama in- troduced bill providing for council of national defense to include the sec retary of war, who shall be president of the council.
 Following the disclosure of the facts in the confidential" report of Secretary of War Dickinson setting forth the exact condition of the na- tional defenses it was learned that General Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the United States army, is con- vinced that 1t is only matter of time before the United States and Japan will be at war.

Services at Methodist Church

A very interesting sermon was de-
liyered by the Rev. T. H. Nicholas OF
the Methodist church, on Sunday last
The text was taken from the teaching OF
Paul. and ably illustrated with lessons
of instruction. Necessity of keeping
the cross of Christ before the mind,
was impressed very forcefully upon
the hearer, as a means for being sue
cessful christian worker and also the
difficulties that overtake those who en-
deayor to bear the cross. Rev. Nicho-
las described his Interpretation of the
foolish ideas which the Greeks and
Jews held as to the cruciixion and
resurrection of Christ, and explained
that the Savior recognized no social dis
tinction, and that by the lowly pure,
plain, simple teaching of his disciples,
he has established religion that has
withstood the conflict OF tyrants for
more than 10 hundred years.
