THE KANSAS INSURGENTS.
Middle West and ifar West Insurgents
said to be Looking TO Roosevelt as

Osawatomie, Kans., Aug. 31.-Gath
ering insurgency across the long
stretches of Kansas prairie, the Roose-
welt special train today pulled into Os-
sawatomie, the headquarters OF the in
surgent movement After the long ride
from Denver with Roosevelt, Clifford
Pinchot and James X. Garfield are pre-
pairing to leave the Roosevelt party at
Kansas City, to take the stump in Wis
cousin for La Toilette. Roosevelt him
self is planning to give Fighting Bob"
lift when he speaks in Milwaukee,
on September z.
Kansas insurgency, headed by Gov
Stubs and Senator Bristow, rallied
about Roosevelt today. The governor,
with his staff, met the Roosevelt special
car on the Usage in the morning and
came to Osawatomie on the train.
Red Vic" Murdoch, and Represen-
tative Madison, who led the House in
surgents during the last session, and
William Allen White, and several other
insurgents fresh from the fight over the
republican platform at the party coun-
ell at Topeka, were on hand to welcome
Roosevelt TO eastern Kansas.
1t became apparent today that the
middle western insurgents, as well as
those OF the far west, are looking to
Roosevelt for national leadership. And
up to now Roosevelt has made no
move that could be construed as re-
fusaI TO accept the charge. He has
spent hours every day for week in
close conference with Pinchot and Gar
field, who have secured the country in
he interests OF insurgency and they
have outlined the insurgent situation
thoroughly to him.
Following a long conference last night
it was decided that Garfield was to go
TO the aid OF La Toilette and that Roose-
velt's speech at Milwaukee was 10 con-
tain La Toilette endors ement.
Oswatome, Aug. 81. Evidently the
scheme of the New York progreSsiyes
to attempt to replace VicePresident
Sherman with Col. Roosevelt for
temporary chairman Of the republican
state convention has the colonels
approval.
Although the colonel refused to dis
cuss the New York situation today for
publication, he called attention to his
various previous statements in which
he steadily set forth that there will be
no compromise. Any movement that
the progressives begin looking to a
plain out and out struggle for control
Of the convention will undoubtedly
have the Roosevelt endorsement.
''There is no doubt that Col. Roose-
welt will accept the temporary chair
man ship of the New York convention
il it can be secured for him.

The Cost of Royalty.

London, Aug. 31.-The board and
keep" OF the late King Edward in the
nine years of his reign cost England
$40, 438, 1880, according to official
figures just made public. This is why
members of the labor party are today
preparing for a renewal Of their fight
against the cost Of royalty when Par
lament reassembles. They contend
that Edwards services were worth no
more than those of a good president,
and that a first class president can be
obtained for 100000 a year. Eng
land, therefore, is out Of pocket

MAYNARD HEARING FRIDAY.

Col. G. F. Day, democratic district
chairman, yesterday evening announced
at his home in Smithfeld that the
meeting of the several district commit
tees scheduled for today in Norfolk had
been postponed until Friday, the
reason given being that the official re.
turns from two counties had not yet
been received by him from the respec-
tive country chairmen.
Particular importance attaches to
this meeting because Of the pending
Maynard-Young primary contest, with
its promised sensation. Politicians and
attorneys are keyed to concert pitch.
Col. r. S. BOykin, chairman Of
Nansemond, one OF the missing coun-
ties, said last night he has sent the re-
turns to Colonel Day, care Of the Mon
ticello Hotel, where the meeting was
booked. Chairman Ewell, OF Princess
Anne county; could not be reached.

The socialists.

Copenhagen, Aug. S1.-ResolutiOns
were presented to the Internationalists
Socialists Congress today by the com
mittee on anti-miIitarism, calling on the
socialists of every legislative body to
resist miitarism by refusing TO vote for
expenditures for military purposes and
to demand increasingly the disarma-
ment of nations.
The resolutions also call for the
adjustment OF all secret treaties and
that the terms of every existing treaty
should be published to the world.
Kair Hardie, on behalf of the Eng
lish delegation, demanded that when
war breaks out, all the workmen of the
countries affected declare a general
strike, within "a hours. If the work
ers of nations engaged in war will only
do this" Hardie declared.

CHURCH BARS HoBBLE SKIRTS.

Rev Peter Henry, pastor of the
First Reformed Church of Groveyille,
n. j., has refused admission to his
church to any woman who wears a
"hobble" skirt, and has denounced
from his pulpit those who have adopt
ed this style Of dress. He terms girls
and women who wear them as walk
ing balIons," "lunatics" and god
less" He says the style is tray-
esty and asserts that girls and women
who wear such skirts should be
spanked.
Since the minister began his cru
SADIE few of the "hobblers" can be
seen, and, although number Of wo-
men in his congregation had gone to
considerable expense in placing skirts
Of this style in their wardrobe they are
now bemoarning the expenditure, as
they have destroyed them or given
them away.
Rev. Mr.. Henry seems to object to
modified form OF the bridlcd skirt
and says that no self-respecting girl
or woman would wear one because, he
contends, they are made solely for at
tracing the eyes OF the vulgar"

ment. II don't know what business

himself what he shall wear as long as
he doesn't violate the police regula-
tons"

AN earthquake shock caused con-
siderable excitement in Newport, New
Hampshire and vicinity yesterday after
noon, but did no damage. In Now
port residents felt a distinct trembling
OF the earth, and dishes ratified on the
shelves of houses. The shock came
at about $50 a. IN. and lasted for three
seconds. 1t was accompanied 10y a
loud noise resembling thunder. The
whole rel a about Lake Sunapee was
shaken. A strong earthquake shock was
felt throughout the department OF Gala
bria, Italy, at 9:l5 O'Clock yesterday
morning. The inhabitants, rudely
awakened from their sleep, fled panic
stricken into the streets. No casualties
have been reported. The severe earth
quake shocks which caused so much
damage in Charleston and was felt
throughout the greater part OF the
United States occurred twenty-four
years ago tonight.

Parker Answers Roosevelt.

New York, Aug. 31.-"It is safe
to assert that the attack upon the
Supreme Court Of the United States
by Mr.. Roosevelt in his address to the
legislature of Colorado will not be
approved by the bench and bar, and
the thoughtful people of this country
who appreciate the importance OF the
judiciary in our governmental system
and the necessity for a continuance
Of the existing public confidence and
affection in our courts.
This declaration was made in state
ment given to the United Press this
afternoon by former Judge Alton B.
Parker, who was defeated by Mr.. Roose-
welt for the presidency in 1904.
VERY judge i'm every court gave TO
this important question his best effort,
which is strongly evidenced by the DIFF
ferenee Of view of the members in the
several courts. The fact should be quite
sufficient 10 protect the greatest court in
the world from offensive criticism from
any source, aud especially from one who
heretofore manifested his dissatisfaction
with a department government which
was performing the independent func-
tons conferred upon il by the constitu-
zion so as neither 10 enroach upon its CO.

DR.. SIMON FLEXNER and Paul A.
Lewis. OF the Rockefeller Institute, at
New York, announce partial success
with their experiments on monkeys
which have been inoculated with the
virus Of infantile paralysis. These ex-
perts say that they have secured a
serum which in some cases prevents
the development of the dread disease
and in 9th ers effects cue within Il
short time. The August number OF
Pediatrics is devoted to number Of
special articles on this disease, in which
it is agreed generally that 1t IS danger
ously infectious. IL is probable that a
movement to have health authorities
quarantine it will be made III the near
fnture. At Springfield Mass, the
opening of the public schools has been
postponed for fear Of a spread Of inian-
tile paralysis, which has been epidemic
there.

SIO.O 600 LOSS ON APPLES.

In one neighborhood in the eastern
portion OF Luray district fruit growers
claim there will be loss Of SO, 900 10
farmers and orchardists this year oc-
casioned by there being no sale for
dropped apples. The lack Of market
FOR this fruit is due to the removal OF
the apple brandy distilleries. Drastic
prohibition laws have been so much in
evidence as to leave only one distillery
and one saloon in Page county. In
former years that section has been noted
for the purity OF the product OF the
apple brandy distilleries, the saloons on
the Pacific coast having a considerable
demand for the article.

Woman Wore stolen Pants.

Bay City, Mich, Aug. 31.-A
woman, said to be the wife OF an Oge-
NAV county postmaster, walked into
one OF the local clothing houses yester-
day and asked TO be shown a young
mans suit of clothing. After looking
the entire stock over she finally made
choice and asked the clerk il she
might try on the trousers, saying that
her son, for whom she was purchasing
the suit, was the same size as herself.
She was shown into a side room, and
when she came out, supposedly with
the trousers on, but with her skirts
outside, she started for the front door
without offering to pay for them. She
was asked 10 settle, but refused, and
defed the clerk to take possession OF
the garment. The clerk called a po-
liceman, she was arrested and the po-
lice telegraphed for her husband.

WITH the insurgent faction OF the
republican party of Kansas completely

party council at Topeka yesterday
adopted a platform decidedly progress
siye. Gov. Stubs was elected chair
man of the council, but later he re.
signed and Senator Bristow was chosen
TO preside during the rest of the scs-
sion. The convention praised Taft
in part, but hailed former President
Roosevelt as the worlds champion
of the rights Of man." 1t was thought
by many people that the recent set
backs received by the ex-presldent
were straws which indicated change

however, that in the west there are
still sporadic cases of the Roosevelt
