Wise Ones Point to Split With
Administration
WILL BE FAR REACHING
Roosevelt Has Fairly and Sduarely
Aligned Himself With Insurgents
and Progrcssives-The Hor-
noe Greeley Parallel

Chicago, August 19.-(Special) -Snmner,
the well-known political correspondent.
sends the following TO the Record-Herald
from Washington:
Guesses and speculation are running riot
over the ultimate meaning and possibili-
ties of the 'throw-down" of Theodore
Roosevelt by the republican state conf
mittee OF New York yesterday. 1t has
afforded the biggest sensation of all the
many kaleidoscope political Developments
of recent date. Bigger consequences
than are involved In the distinct New
York state situation are seen by many.
From one source comes the prophecy that
Roosevelt Is preparing TO lead a move
ment such as resulted from republican IN
surrection In 1879, when Horace Greeley
was nominated for President by the lib
eral republican party and his candidacy
Endorsed by the democrats.
That Roosevelt has fairly and squarely
aligned himself with the present insurgent
element through his brief statement de-
claratory of progressive platform as
the only one to command his support Is
the opinion Of others than those voicing
the extreme idea to which allusion has
lust been made. Sharers in this belief
now expect a positive stand with the in
surgents who are fighting the Taft ad-
ministration when he gets into the west
within the next two weeks.
Following out the Greeley parallel some
pro-Taft and anti-Roosevelt folk predict
a similar ending-the breaking away of
the progressive from the regular faction,
the nomination of the former President
in 1872 and his defeat at the polls. or
course the possibility of an alliance be-
tween the Roosevelt republicans and the
democrats in the next campaign will
strike many as the widest kind OF
dream. but from mere news standpoint
1t is necessary to record a lot of such
gossip at this critical stage. 1t will
appear to many, however, that a progress
sive-democratic alliance two years hence.
If its possibility be granted. would not
parallel the Greeley movement to Its In
glorious finish.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-08-20

II cannot be doubted by anyone with
average powers of observation that the
cleavage between the factions, not only
in New York but throughout the coun-
try, has been accentuated. Where week
ago the situation appeared to be condu-
Give to party harmony, with Roosevelt
enacting the role of peacemaker to
considerable degree, 1t now appears that
the foremost citizen must take stand as
insurgent or regular-that there Is no
tenable middle ground. And that being
SO. 1t is declared the only reasonaple ex-
,oc, alton ia that he will place himself at
the head of the progressive columns for
a finish fight
There is something more than Co
Incidence of accident seen In the de-
yeIopments in New York and in those
at Beverly.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-08-20

Right now the administration coun-
o;1s are filled with worry. Ballinger
as WIS stated in these dispatches when
the elimination programme was an
nounced, has the intention or sticking
to his cabinet position until put out.
sneaker Cannon is aggravating the sit
ustion by exhibiting his attitude of
not caring a rap whether the repub-
| lican shin goes on the rocks II the
nrice of saving the vessel depends on
his removing himself as an obstacle.
Beverly is all agog with anxiety and
maneuvering to control the SITUATION
as much as possible. 1t is believed the
effort is now to keep command OF the
marty machinery more than to elect a
rennblican House that would be fac
ttonal and perhaps dominated by pro-
| vresstves who hitherto have not been
recognized, and who az one time or
another have been read out OF the
party. Hurry calls, which came from
the summer capital today for records
that are desired in the political con-
ferences there indicate the state OF
mind along the north shore.
And all the while the progressives
are strengthening their hold on the
country. The Pacific coast had been re-
garded as safe regular territory. There

the nomination of Johnson for governor
by a big majority, more especially be-
cause clifford Pinchot went there ano

In the east insurgency is rearing
its head in unmistakable fashion. Sen.

sition where he seems likely to be

norts that the growing spirit of revol
threatens Senator Lodge more thar

TO SELL BELCOURT.
Mrs. Belmont VIII Dispose of One of
Her Newport Houses.

Newport, r. l., Feb At is re-
ported here that Mrs. o. H. P. Bel
mont will sell Belcourt, the summer
villa that her husband left her, and
that the house will be bought by a
corporation and opened as summer
hotel. From the home of a luxurious
millionaire, it soon is to become the
resting place of society butterflies or
near society folk, who fit to Newport
for the summer season. The PROPOSE
|'tion of turning the striking structure
into a hotel has hit real estate and
business men as an excellent scheme.
Mrs. Belmont will live in the marble
house, which her first husband, Will
liam K. Vanderbilt. ST., built, which he
gave to her when Sney were divorced.
That house, however, remained closed
for many years until after the death
of De H. BelmoHts5 Then Mrs. Bel
mont decided to reopen it and to en-
terrain her friends there. With the
two expensive villas on her hands, she
took a practical view of the situation
and decided to sell Belcourt.
Belcourt is half stable and half pal
ace. Belmont decided to have both
his stable and his home under one
roof, and he employed the best arch
fleets of his time to work out the
problem The mansion is built of brick
and granite. The front elevation is
most imposing, with its columns, i'm
mense arched windows, massive iron
doors and a long gallery at the sec
ond story. 1t is luxurious within.
Several of the worlds most talented
and experienced artists were employ
ed to embellish the interior. Decor
ators from France and Italy were
brought over to give their best efforts
and their suggestions in their work.

Governor Burl1e's Plan for Handling a
Senatorial Vacancy.

Washington. Feb. Am ingenious
explanation of the sudden resignation
Of Senator Thompson of North Dakota
and the unheralded arrival of his sue
cessor in the person of w. E. Purcell,
has reached Washington. 1t Isl in eff
feet, that Governor Burke has been
greatly embarrassed by the senatorial
vacancy
There is a surplus of available Demo-
cratic senatorial timber in the state.
Four of the governors most influential
friends look with longing eyes upon the
toga.
Governor Burke, a candidate for the
state supreme court. cannot in justice
to his aspirations afford to waste any
political strength or to make political
enemies. Therefore. as the story runs,
with the wisdom of Solomon, the gov
ernor has determined to make the one
office go the round of the candidates
and satiate for a time their appetltes
for political preierrrent. Therefore, Mr..
Thompson was sent to Washington with
a senatorial commission TO bide awhile,
committed to resign in q few months
to make way for Mr. Purcell.
As the report goes. Mr.. Purcell is to
remain in the senate 60 days or so,
when he will give way to Senator NO.
3. and the latter in due season IS to
prepare the way for Senator No. to
have his name inscribed upon the rolls
before the legislature elects senator.

THREW MONEY AT HIS HEAD.
Marshal Tim Donovan Has an Excit'

Marshal Tim Donovan of the city
court had an exciting experience last
evening. The poor man was literally
showered with money-bills and small
silver pieces.
The marshal, with Deputy Charles
Bradshaw and J. H. Taylor, had gone
down with a wagon to attach some
furniture belonging to Mrs. Julia A
Shaw, living in the house of Tillie M.

that the report is, she gathered up
those cents, dimes, dollars and small
bills, and, clutching the sum of SIS in
her good right hand, fired the total at
heads of the officers, scattering it all
over the room. s
Yes. you bet, we picked it up in a
hurry and were glad to get out of
there" SAYS the marshal.

DIVES THROUGH WINDOW
Jacob Heuberger Becomes Violently
Insane.

Jacob Heuberger, who has lived with
his brother-in-law, E. Luenberger, at
the corner of Swan and Pennsylvania
avenues in Highland Park, became vi
olently insane about O'Clock last night
and with a yell dived through closed
window, carrying the sash and glass
with him. Alighting unharmed.s he
dashed across the street to attempt to
enter the house of r. L. Zeller by a
similar method. but failing was captur-
ed by his brother-in-law. who dragged
him back to his house and held him on
sofa until the police arrived.
Lodged in the padded cell of the
county Jail, the insane man dashed
about throughout the entire night: No
one in the Jail slept a wink last night,
said Jailer Bayliss this morning, the
crazy man plunged about all night
yelling and calling out so loud that no
one could rest. We were afraid he
would kill himself or die from nervous
and physical exhaustion but could do
nothing. There is no water in the
padded cell but we dare not open the
door to give him anything to drink or
eat for fear we would have to nght
him. He yells and raves and will jump
onto whoever opens that door There
is no convenience in our padded cell
and we want to get him to the hospital
as soon as possible"
Bayliss was trying to hurry the trial
of the man in the probate court but
case all forenoon and had to set the
insanity trial at 3 p. m.
The cause for the insanity of Hue
berger is given as fear that some
one was trying to beat him out of a
tract of land south of Highland Park
which he purchased but a few days
ago. This is corroborated by one of
the lady deputies in the register OF
deeds office who reported to Judge
Schoch that the man had brought in
a deed to be recorded but was afraid
ed to him, that he must give it up in
order to have it recorded but he snatch
ed it away and returned again in an
hour. That time she gained posses
sion of it and recorded it but the man
seemed to be excited about it, prowl-
ing around the Office SO constantly that
she and another lady clerk became
frightened in the absence of Mr.. Hodg-
ms and warned Judge Schoch to be
ready TO come on a moments notice.
Todav she says this Is the same man.
Relatives report that after the re-
cent purchase of the land Heuberger
had become absent-minded and NUT
tered about deeds and abstracts which
he apparently thought faulty. DR..
Menninger was called to see him and
has administered medicines. Last
night, however. the doctor when call
ed to the Jail. answered that nothing
could be done for the man, says the
jailer. who further states that no doc
tor can get in that cell to examine
him.
Still, DR.. C. NJ. Hensley has been ap-
pointed such examiner. and Drs. H. H.
Hazlett and w. c. McDonough have
been summoned as a commission to try
the man.
