Ames, Ia, Aug. 26.-Speeding west

dore Roosevelt was not permitted to
sleep until late this morning. Scarce
ly had the state of Iowa been enter
town, where hundreds of people
clamored to see the distinguished
traveller. After some delay, Colonel
Roosevelt emerged from his car smil-
ing as usual. But it was not the
khaki uniform he wore as a colonel
of the Rough Riders. He had on pa
jamas and slippers, over which he had
thrown a rain coat. Mr. Roosevelt be-
came indignant at the action of pho
tCgraphers who brought cameras into
action. ''It is outrageous" he said,
''to take my picture in this garb."
Mr.. Roosevelt made a few remarks,
expressing interest, as usual, in chill

Carroll, Ia, Aug. 26.-Having meted
out early in the morning a severe re-
buke to the enthusiastic photograph
ers who wished to take his picture in
raincoat, pajamas and slippers, Col.
Roosevelt pitched onto bosses and

train when he reached this city. Mr..
Roosevelt definitely allied himself with
the progressives of New York, declar-
ing that the main issue in the fight in
New York is not any specific reform
measure, but bossism Bossism, he
declared, frequently led to corruption
and he said he would wage ruthless
war on corrupt alliances between bus.
mess and bosses.
"Progressives are against the domi.

these special interests are political,

On a Pullman car of the Union Pacific
near here last night, and fatally shot
the Pullman porter of car named

he began firing through the end of his
berth into the smoking room. Porter
Young ran forward and was shot
twice through the body. DR.. Temple,
who was en- route from Denver with
his wife and child, sprang into the
aisle and Pugh shot him twice
through the abdomen. The conductor
and brakeman then overpowered the
murderous madman who was placed
in jail here.
DR.. Temple was taken from the
train at Ellsworth in an unconscious
condition and is apparently dying.
Young was taken to Kansas City.
Pugh is about % years old and seems

Special to The New Mexican.


Carlsbad, N. NJ, Aug. &c. w.
Merchant, Jr., one of the leading
stockmen of this city, was assaulted
by negro this morning and his skull
was fractured. There is little hope
of his recovery.
AS far as can be ascertained the
tragedy occurred on the Lucas ranch
where Mr.. Merchant went to look at
some cattle. The details of the assault
are not given further than the fact
that the negro struck the stockman
on the head with an axe. A physical
examination showed that the skull
was broken in five places.
The stockman lay unconscious and
when medical aid could be summoned
his condition was found to be ex-
tremely grave.
Mr.. Merchant is well known in New
Mexico and quite a number of people
Of Santa Fe are acquainted with him.
He came to this territory about fifteen
years ago from Texas, his native
state. He is a man still under forty
and has many friends throughout the
southwest.

TAFT WAS NOT INVOLVED
IN NEW YORK FIGHT
So Says "Tim" Woodruff Who Puts
New Light on Famous Chair
manship Fight.

New York, Aug. 26-The confer
ence on the night before the Repub-
lican state committee meeting at
which Theodore Roosevelt was voted
down and Vice President Sherman
chosen temporary chairman, of the
Republican convention assumed still
another complexion tonight.
Timothy L. Woodruff state chair
man, in a statement given out from
Republican state headquarters puts
the responsibility for the action up
to Lloyd c. Griscom, president of the
Republican county committee, and
denies that he had even an intima
tion of any plan to present the name
of Colonel Roosevelt to the committee
until Mr. Griscom made the actual
nomination.
In his statement Woodruff says
precedent was followed in the selec
ton of Sherman as chairman and
that Griscom moved to substitute the
name of Roosevelt for that of Sher
man, practically after the committee
had acted.
president Taft was not involved
in this matter" Mr.. Woodruff says
"as the members of the state com
mittee acted entirely within theil
authority in selecting temporary
chairman without, as far as 1 know
a single one of them consulting with
him about it; but in view of the ap
parent affront to Mr.. Roosevelt
caused by the action of Mr.. Griscom
felt called upon as chairman of the
committee to send an explanatory let
ter to the president"

The bachelors at the Capitol build

when one of the prominent territorial

unable to find such a bureau and it is
rumored that she may see that one
is soon established.
This habit of writing to the mayor
of a city or to the worthy postmaster
to find cowboy husbands for fair las
sizes with eastern romances in their
little heads, does not appeal to this
lady, who is a woman with a strict
sense of the propriety of things.
