pNcHoT AND THE PRESIDENCY IN 1912.

1t would be mighty interesting to know just what Roose
welt thinks just of the Pncho retirement Is the lord
of all the forests paving the way for the return Of Roosevelt
the presidency Or is he posing the injured martyr
his for the presidency feeling that his sacrifice in
the interest of the people puts him in the presidential class?
Or he warrior who fights he has fought Taft and Bal
nger for the Berserker joy of battle? Or is he wit
less person. court jester who fights for lack of sense?
Pnchot has been the fvoe of Roosevelt at all times;
the president considered him of the greatest
of the day The people woudn charge that Roosevelt
didn't know but they may believe that he has misudg

that Pnchot though perhaps starting this Taft with the
real object of bringing Roosevelt back to the White House.

1t was in vain that he tried to attend

There was no Justice so far as he could

He had been n fair and generous en-

concern for the welfare Of their opera

some OF the things he had done. 1t was

men to rest in during the midday hour

the idea came to the men that Overton

that he wns making money out of 1t.

NOT SLAIN BY ENEMIES
This Theory of Rice Murder Given
Up by Cleveland Police; Be-
Iieved Work of Crooks.

Cleveland-Thet theory that Will
liam L. Rice, the wealthy attorney,
found murdered near his home, was
assassinated for revenge has been
abandoned by the police. The dis
covery of new clews which point to
attempted robbery being the motive
of the crime have confirmed their
opinion that holdup men are respon-
sible.
The police claim to have learned
that a robbery had been planned by
professional criminals in the neigh
borhood Of Mr.. Rice's home on the
night of the murder. This informa-
ton has convinced the authorities
that Mr.. Rice was killed by thieves
he accidentally encountered and at
tempted to arrest.
The two objections to the robbery
theory are that the body was found
lying in the full glare of an arc
light and that nothing had been re-
moved from it.
Pasqual Guilliano, a former golf
caddy, who was supposed to be at
enmity with Mr.. Rice and who was
arrested, convinced the police that
he knew nothing of the crime and
probably will be liberated.

THIRTEEN KILLED

Most of the Victims Were Riding IN

Ignacio. persons were
killed and at least twelve were III
iured when the regular evening pas
senger train from San Francisco 10
Santa Rosa on the Northwestern Pa
cific railway was struck by spec1ai
engine and caboose.
Most of those injured were riding
in the smoking car of the passenger
train. They were residents OF Peta-
luna, Santa Rosa and other nearby
towns. Several, it is reported, were
delegates to the state convention OF
Red Men which meets at Santa Rosa.
At the Office of the train dispatcher
the information was given out that
one of the conductors had made a
mistake in his orders and failed TO
take siding.
The passengers were jerked for
ward by the setting of brakes and at
the same time came terrific I'M

crushed together and the smoker was
telescoped.
When the dazed passengers made
their way out of the rear coaches I'M
harmed, they met a pathetic scene.
From their smoking car came shrleks
and groans. 1t seemed that passen-
gers in the smokers, between twenty
five and thirty men, had been caught
in sitting position, and those VINO
were not killed were unable to help
themselves.
A few men made their way to the
forward end of the smoker, where the
greatest damage had been done. Eff
forts to open windows or remove the
broken timbers were fruitless.
Work on the rear half of the
smoker was easier. Some of the res
cuers scattered to nearby houses to
telephone for help, while others
sought to get the injured out. A
headless corpse was found lying by
the side of the track. Another body
was found in sitting position in a
window of the smoker.
