GONE TO SEE TEDDIE.
And Talk Over Party Troubles In the
Party Ranks.

1T is said in Washington on the
best Of authority that both Garfield
and Pinchot wrote letters to Roose'
Welt at Khartum, telling him of the
sad occurrences there under the lead
ership Of Taft. They told Roosevelt
that if he wished it one OF them
either Garfield or Pinchot would
meet him in Europe and give him
further particulars.
Roosevelt cabled to them to come.
Garfield was to go, but owing to the
Ohio government matter Pinchot
went. Now what does it mean? AL
Washington is specializing upon
that question.
Back from Elba? Is that it?
Mr.. Taft is now squarely align
ed with the ~so-called "reactionaries'
of the Republican party, those who
have all along been fighting the So
called Roosevelt policies'-the
central idea of which, as we all un'
derstand, is to stay the threatening
storm of wrath against the alliance
of the Republican party with pre-
datory wealth." The same man thai
made these policies" made also Mr.
Taft, and promised the American
people that Taft would carry them
out. Now what is he going to dc
when he gets back here?
Echo answers what?

TWELVE GIRLS PERISH.
In Factory Fire Caused by Explosion
of Benzine.

Twelve persons are reported dead
in a fire which attacked the LF1sh
Furniture company building at 1906
Wabash Avanue, Chicago Friday.
About 40 employees escaped. A
girl who jumped from a third story
window died at a hospital. The dead
were trapped, it is said on the fourth
fifty and sixth floors, when an e1-
plosion Of benzine on the fourth
floor wrapped the building in names.
Ladders were raised 10 the sixth
floor, the topmost one, Ia a despe--
ate effort to resuce any person who
might be alive there.
The fire Is said to have started
from an explosion of benzine in the
repair rooms on the fourth floor,
probably from a carelessly dropped
match. Two cabinet makers who
at work in the repair room were
among those who escaped slightly
burned.
When a great shheet Of flame shot
across the floor they were knocked
down, but although almost stified
they managed to crawl to the front
stairway, whence they made their
escape TO the street below. The fire,
the said, was preceded by an explo-
sion which shook the building.

COOKS SAD PLIGHT
BROKEN IN HEATH AND WITH
OUT FUNDS OR FRIENDS.
Knows no One He Could Trust to 60
to Arctic Regions After Proofs II
He Had the Money.

/ ~ h~N VAN
DR.. William H. Axtell, Of Belling-
| ham, Wash, a personal friend OF
| DR.. Frederick A. Cook, the e1plor-
| er, Wednesday received a letter from
Mrs. Cook, dated Valparaiso, Chile,
In which she says the explorer is
broken in health, without funds and
| unable to continue his fight to es-
tablish his claim that he discovered
the North Pole.
DR.. Axtel said: Mrs. Cook tells
me in her letter that Cook made con-
| siderable money out Of his trip when
he first landed in New York, but
that he spent it in defending himselft
| against the bitter attacks from his
enemies before the Copenhagen de-
| cision was made public. Cook left
New York later to escape contumely,
says Mrs. Cook, and to go before the
board of iquiry at Copenhagen "a
his own representative. Then Mrs.
Cook sought him, met him In Eng
land, found him a nervous wreck
and very i'll.
She writes that 1t was her fault
that Cook did not appear publicly at
the time he was u~nfavorably report
ed on. She says she took him to
Holland, France, italy and then to
Spain, where they embarked for
Buenos Aires.
From Buenos Aires they went
around Cape Horn to Chile. Cook
is still very i'll and will be In no con-
dition to take up his fight for the
honors which he still says should
been his"
DR.. Axtell added that, according to
the letter, the explorer and his fam
lily will arrive quietly In New York
and settle down for a quiet life
Mrs. Cook says" he continued,
that her husband has no funds with
which to. go to the Arctic regions
after the proofs required by the
University of Copenhagen, and that
If he had the necessary cash, he
knows of no n he could trust to
10 the work for him.

LOOKS GOOD To THEM
RECENT ELECTION RETURNS
PLEASES DEMOCRATS.
The Election in Massachusetts Tues
day Turned Out Better Than the
One in Missouri.

One in Missouri.
Zach McGhee says the Democrats
in Washington are jubilant over the
results Of the by-elections in Mis-
souri, and Massachusetts. The Nil
souri, district, the one formerly re
presented by the late David A. De
Almond, is taken as a typical Middle
| Western district.
In it the Democratic candidate
made large gains in the election in
January. Now in Massachusetts, in
the most h%ide-bound Republican dis
trict of all New England, n never
heretofore known to go Democratic,
not ever in the Cleveland landslide,
has been changed from 14,0o1 Re
publican majority to 5000 Democrat
ic majority.
In each of these district the ta"-
if and the Republican ring rule weT"
the issues. Mr.. Llody, the chairman
Of the Democratic congressional
committee, who went up there last
week, came back with the ocInion
that there would be Democratic gains
and declaring that if the $4,000 Re-
publican majority should be cut
down to 5000 Republican majority
the Democrats would be doing mighty
we'll and should be highly satisfied
When the returns came in Tues
day night, with $4,000 more pem3-
cratic votes than Mr.. Lloyd mad
counted on, there was j~olli6cdtton
indeed and the Republican were ave
stricken. The Republicans do not
pretend to minimize the significance,
but frankly admit that the situation
Is omninous Of a Democratic tidal
wave n November, unless it car be
stayed. They generally stay these
threatening tidal waves, you know;
and they may be able to stay this
one; but they are wearing exceed
ingly gloomy faces.
The whole political situation gets
more and more interesting every
day. On Capital hill the Democrats
are standing together in solid phal-
anx, and, contrary to the usual habit,
are saying mighty little. The breach
in the Republican ranks shows no
signs Of healing. Not even the
threat of Democratic victory seems
to Brighten either faction into max
ing overtures to the other.
The Cannon or organization men
in the house are disconserted, 1t is
true, and all the insurgents are sure
Of it that they have strengthened
their W individual position at
home by finding a scape goat in Can
non for the sins of their party.
But these same insurgents have
little spirit in any further attacks
upon their organization. The victory
last week, so far as they are con-
cerned, is a sort of Borodino. They
may have captured Moscow by it
but are so disabled as to be unable
to hold it. And it looks as If they
are going to let Cannon dominate
the rules committee after all. The
regular Republicans, or the Cannon
forces, are counting on Mr.. Taft to
help them out, if not in the house.
then in the country, and Mr.. Taft
seems in truth to be doing all in
his power to fulfill the expectation.

AT Oklahoma City, Okla, Were He

Than at Greenwood.

Than at Greenwood.
A special from Greenwood to The
News and Courier says Postoftice In
spector Gregory, who went to Okla
homa to arrest w. j. Nichols, former
president of the Metropolitan Loan
and Trust Company, has returned
after having performed his part OF
the business in locating the man,
a~rresting him and having the FEEDER
al authorities there put next"
Inspector Gregory's report of the
trail and final capture OF Nichols
as we'll as the varied career OF Mich
| oils, himself, reads like a romance,
When located in Oklahoma City,
! Nichols, now going as "Mr. G. l..
Jackson" was at the head Of a con-
cern that was doing about the big
gest business in that hustling COM
munity.
He had an office like a. railroad
president, and Mr.. Gregory said he
had seventeen ~stenographers, young
men and young women as busy as
bees. His oncern was alread attract
ing attention from Uncle Sans men,
and Federal district attorney there
| told Mr.. Gregory that as soon as the
| time was ripe he would have been
nabbed.
He was SELLING the right to sell
the right to SELL" a certain kind of
stove, a sort of endless chain con-
tract business. No provision was
made as to seeing how or where the
| stoves could be secured but the
| right to sell the right was what
Jackson was doing. 1t was the wash
ing machine swindle attempted n
this State some years ago with stoves
substituted for washing machines.
Mr.. Gregory said when he called
on Nichols he had no little trouble
in getting into his private office.
| When he finally reached it, he found
his attorney there, and his private
| ste~nographer also present. He ask
ed Nichols or Jackson for a few
words in private, and was told to
go ahead as the other two were in
a confidential relation.
Mr.. Gregory insisted, so these two
finally returned TO an adjoining room
and then Mr.. Gregory addressed him
as Nichols, and asked about Green
wood. Jackson was quite indignant
at the joke, and carriet his part out
we'll, until Mr.. Gregory showed him
his W photo, and he saw the Jig
was up. He trembling all over, Mr..
Gregory said, although he still stout
ly denied that his name was other
than C. l.. Jackson.
AS an indication Of what a rushing
| business Nichols was doing in selling
the right ia sell the right to sell a
| stove that needed no right to sell a
hardware man at Oklahoma City
told Mr.. Gregory that Nichols
had paid him ten thousand dol
lars cash for a lot Of stoves to be
used by his demonstrators. People
love to be swindled.
