PRESIDENT MONT DEAD
He.d Of Chilean Government Expires
Suddenly in Bremen-Hecentiy Left
United States - Was Witness to
Shooting of Mayor Gaynor.

London. Aug. 17.-President Pedro
Montt, OF Chile, who arrived at Bremen
on the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse yesterday morning died at 1850
o'clock last night. Death was due to
a recurrence Of heart failure following
recent attack of angina pectoris.
Nontt recently visited this country, was
received by President Taft, and was
q witness to the shooting OF Mayor
Gaynor as he was about to sail for
Europe.
Pedro Montt became president of
Chile on Sept. 1S, 1906, and his term
of office extended to 1911 He succeed
ed German Riesco as chief executive.
He was elected by an enormous ma
joriy and was supported by u really
national party.
Senior Montt was member of one
of the best known families in Chile.
for his father. Manuel Montt, was
president Of the Chilean republic from
1851 to 1861. AT various times Pedro
Montt was speaker of the chamber OF
deputies, senator, councillor OF
state, and during a brief and trying pc
riod was minister plenipotentiary at
Washington.
In all the offices he held Senor Montt
was distinguished for his conciliatory
and we'll defined policy lie was the
champion Of a sound financial system
and Waged unceasinS war against the
policy Of prodigal expenditure.
In the debate on the foreign policy
his voice was raised in favor of Il
peaceful ard honorable settlement of
difficulties In the years between 1889
and 1902, when the frontier dispute
with the Argentine republic brought
Chile near to war, when practically ev-
erv one was ready and waiting the or
der 70 march, Senor Montt untiringly
poured oil on the troubled waters To
him was given much of the credit for
the happy result finally secured.
He was defeated once for the presi-
Gency, five years prior to his election.
and on the occasion he returned to the
senate and continued his daily occupa
ton as il the defeat had been only a
trivial occurrence in his life.
Early last June the president suffer-
ed a serious attack of angina pectoris.
and on his partial recovery the trip to
Europe was planned.

Roosevelt Nav Bolt.

nooSoVoN way 6o'Ss
Both Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt
wish to know what the state organiza-
tion leaders propose to do. If the can
didate selected is the man whom Mr..
Roosevelt can support he Will lend his
support thru the campaign"
The latter remark was interpreted in
some quarters to mean that Mr.. Roos-
evelt might be an independent candi-
date.
After the committee adjourned Mr..
Woodruff and Mr. Griscom retired into
corner and talked for ten minutes.
1t was understood that Mr.. Groscom
demanded to know what the organiza-
ton leaders proposed to put into their
platform and what they were going to
do about direct nominations.
"There will be no direct nominations
plank in that platform" the state
chairman told the New York county
leader.
Griscom Keeps Silence.
Mr.. Woodruff pointed out to Mr..
Griscom that twelve of the upstate
leaders who voted successively for Mr.
Sherman would have 407 ballots in the
state convention, while the total vote
at the disposal of the insurgents would
not exceed 217. The vote of 407 does
not include the Brooklyn machine,
which is soidly with Mr.. Woodruff.
Mr.. Griscom agreed that it was too
late to try to mako a fight in the pr1-
maries He was asked how he expected
there would be much change in the
state convention. inasmuch as the same
leaders who had just defeated MI
Roosevelt would be in control there.
Mr.. Griscom did not care to answer
Many leaders expressed regret that
Mr.. Roosevelt's name had been brought
into the meeting and declared that
their action in rejecting his name was
intended as slap at Mr.. Griscom ana
not at the retired president.
Wall Street Jubilant.
The Dows-Jones News Service sent
out the following over its stock tickers
in the afternoon:
"The turning down Of Mr.. Rooseevlt
for the temporary craftsmanship of the
New York state republican convention
gave the market a strong bull impulse
in the early afternoon, as everything IN
dicating a decrease Of the political In
fuence of the ex-president is regarded
In Wall street as a favorable factor.
The rise began before the publication
of the news, but the pace quickened
when the action of the state committee
became n matter of general knowledge
Altho some of the traders thought 1t
was a little too soon for the celebra-
tion Of the Roosevelt obsequtes, the
ceremonies were continued and all the
leading stocks made new high prices
for the present recovery. The COM
mission houses We're elated over the
course Of events and strongly urged
customers to buy stocks. Colonel
Roosevelt's speaking tour, however, is
still ahead and conservative interests
think the market will yet have to con-
slider him a factor"
