CADETS IN UNIItU Revolt
Situation at West Point Regarded as
Serious.

West Point, N. Y, Sept. 2S.-A state
of open rebellion exists in the United
States military academy, the home of
discipline.
1t is admitted that the authorities
In charge are facing the most serious
situation ever encountered at West
Point, for the cadet corps is unit in
Its stand.
No one man seems more guilty than
another and to expel one for insubor-
dination means that all must go.
The delicacy of the situation is such
that Major General Thomas Barry,
superintendent of the academy, re-
turned from Washington to take per-
sonal charge.

Former Supporters.
Saratoga. N. Y. Sept 2S.-Colonel
Roosevelt was chosen temporary
chairman of the state Republican con-
yention over Vice President Sherman.
the choice of the state committee,
more than an hour being consumed in
polling the l,015 delegates. From the
outset of the tedious vote it was APP
parent that Vice President Sherman
had no chance to win and his defeat
was conceded by William Barnes be
fore half the delegates had been
polled. The vote was Roosevelt 567,
Sherman AS.
A most remarkable scene preceded
the balloting For hours bitter de.
nunciation was heard from the plat
form and for the first time in his life
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was de
nounced to his face by the men who
success fely elected him member of
assembly, governor, vice president
and presiGClt.
Timothy l.. Woodruff, the man
Roosevelt made chairman of the state
committee by the sheer weight of fed
eral patronage, read letter from
Roosevelt, which he claimed showed
that Roosevelt had tacitly endorsed
the selection of Vice President Sher-
man as temporary chairman.
Abe Gruber facing Roosevelt,
poured forth a stream of denuncia-
ton. the like of which has seldom
been heard before even in a ward
convention, and Roosevelt himself
had personally to appeal to the con-
vention to let the New York attorney
be heard and give him square deal"
Roosevelt was warmly defended by
Comptroller Prendergast of New York,
who repudiated the suggestion that
Roosevelt is playing for the presiden-
tial nomination in 1912.
Oratory Holds the Floor.
The first two hours of the conven-
ton were taken up with oratorical
pyrotechnics. 1t seemed apparent
from the start that the 'old guard
knew it was beaten and there was no
note of hope in the address of Chair
man Woodruff, defending the state
central committees choice OF Vice
President Sherman for the temporary
chairmanship, or in Colonel Grubers
vitriolie speech in which he assailed
Colonel Roosevelt's record, even going
so far as to style him THE American
Jack Cade."
Chairman Woodruff called the con
vention to order at 1905 and after
the aisles had been cleared, which the
one policeman available for the task
found difficult in doing, the convention
took up the regular order of business
When the roll call had been com
pleted Chairman Woodruff announced
"The next order of business is the
election of temporary chairman"
There was an instant hush. then a
ripple of uncertain applause, after
which Chairman Woodruff, addressing
the convention, said:
II have been instructed by the Re-
publican state committee to recon-
mend to this convention temporary
chairman.

man of this convention is crucial

"A precedent for the designation of
the vice president as temporary chair

Mr.. Woodruff added, was wisely es-
tablished two years ago, when Sen

national administration, was selected

knowledge as a result of visit made
two weeks ago, before the meeting of

known not only his desires but also
his apprehensions.
