WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 10.-Signs

moval.

home all day today receiving visitors
and answering kilograms which came in
by the score
1t is stated that many of the en-
thusiastic kilograms from the west urge
him TO make an open fight for the
presidency on "a progressive and con-
servative platform.
Pinchot speaks jokingly when this
subject is broached, and altogether
seems TO be. in a very amiable mood
He may issue a public statement to-
morrow. II he does. there is warrant

any personal or sensational matter, but

anxious to talk, but that the time was
not ripe.

It developed after his departure that
his two shadows were indeed detect

they were also acting in the dual
role of bodyguards in his employ.
The story of the mystery, as un-

Several weeks ago Saucier. while
travelling on a Pullman car, met the

two were so constantly in each others

acute. according to vollmer, that the
husband employed two private detec-
tiyes from an agency in San Fran

him from meeting the woman These
men, .yoilmer asserts, ingratiated them
selves with the mining promoter, and
succeeded. by impressing him with the
