ROOSEVELT
 ITINERARY
PLAN OF THE coLoNEL'S SOUTH ERIN TRIP HAS BEEN OPEL
 CIALLY OUTLINED.
Principal Address Will be Given at Atlanta Before Southern Com mercial Congress-Family Win
 Make the Trip.

New York, March 6.-The full itin- erary of Theodore Roosevelt's com ing tour of the country was announced today. He will leave New York over the Pennsylvania Railroad at 10:16 am, on Wednesday and Sagamore Hill will mot see him again until Sun day April 16. As has been already printed, Atlanta is his first stop, and the tour in its entirety literally swings around the circle"
 The line of travel dips down to New Orleans, stretches across the southwest, follows the Pacific coast northward to Pudget Sound, wavers into Idaho and Montana and then reaches straight for home, through Chicago. where the colonel will stop for a few hours only on Saturday, April 15.
 / The full list of engagements occu- pies P typewriter pages but even this does not meet the demands, and it seems possible that, as on other trips. the colonel frequently will break through his schedule and speak unan- nounced on the spur of the move ment.
 In the party will be MT. and Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Ethel Roosevelt, Miss Corneha Landon, friends of Miss Ethel, and Frank Harper, the eol- onel's secretary. Mrs. and Miss Roosevelt will no' join the colonel, however until he reaches Albuquer ques N. M, and throughout the trip will not attend any of the public functions.
 With the possible exception of a few short stretches the trip will be made in regular trains and public Pullman cars.
 In Atlanta he will speak on March g before the Southern Commercial Congress on The Souths Obligation in Statesmansh and Business En- deavor." At Birmingham. the next day, he nas engagements for breakfast luncheon and dinner and will make four speeches.
 The subjects of the speeches at New Orleans and Jackson, Miss, have not been announced Another an nounoed speech is Civic Righteous ness at Houston. Tex, on March 12.
 Perhaps the incident of the whole trip in which MT. Roosevelt takes the greatest personal interest will be the dedication of the Roosevelt Dam March IS. lie will make the dedica- tory address, afterward pressing the button which will release the frs. stream of water from the reservoir behind the dam to the thousands of acres it will bring under irrigation At night there will be a return to the dam to view the electric illumina. tion and Miss Ethel Roosevelt will turn the switch that sets the lamps aglowing.

 dent Taft, Proposed Victims.
 Spokane, aWsh., March 6.--Cap- tured just when plans for assassinat- ing Mayor N $. Pratt are thought to have almost reached maturity, John Steele and Stuart Moffett now in the city jail, are considered by the police as the murderers of Captain John T. Sullivan and accomplices in "a piot to kill President Taft. This is the gist of a statement of Martin J. Burns, cap tain of detectives issued to- day after conference with Chief of Police Loust
 The arrests of the two men came Friday night
 Until Friday night" said Captain Buri,s, the plans were to wait until after the city election to kill the mayor. That night our men heard Steele make his report to Moffett after a visit to the Pratt home, in which he said the house was guarded day and night
 He told the group around him an other night he was high enough up in anarchistic circles to know that President Taft would be killed as soon as he left Washington after congress closed.

PARTY INDEPENDENCE.
Piuchot and Garfield Preach Progress
 sive olicy in Ohio.

Akron. O., March 6.-HMore than 800 republicans, mostly progressives, in attendance at the Lincoln banquet here tonight, heard Clifford Pinchot, seconded by James K Garfield, of Cleveland, and A. L. Garford, of Elyria, O., declare in their speeches for independence Of party rather than regularity in order to become free of corporate control of the nations re- sources and of the republican party.
 Whatever is right and vital in the republican party today is pnogres sive," said MT. Pinchot in his address.
 Whatever Is not progressive is, dying Or dead. fhe republican party cannot live half dead and half alive. It cannot continue half reactionary and half progressive.
 We shall live if we free our selves from the gangrene of blind de- vetion to things that have gone by"
 Mir. Pinchat asserted that the re- publican party cannot afford to risk it's chance of victory in 1912 merely upon the hope of democratic blunders. Time was. when that was reasonably safe." he said. Today it is de- rendence distinctly less reliable than ir the past. Also we need q larger is sue. In 1912 the nominee himself will be more than half the platform. He must have certain indispensable quail fcations. He must be progressive and stand for popular government.

 Attack on Barker
HE GROWS SARCASTIC

Mobile March 15.-(Special)-In a
 red hot interview issued tonight Maj.
 W. F. Tebbetts, mentioned by Post
 master P. D. Barker as one of the
 men responsible for the instigation of
 charges against Alabama federal of
 ficials of 'pernicious political activity
 implicitly denies that he has had any
 thing to do with the recent investiga- tion. Incidentally Major Tebbetts stated that he was going to Washington shortly and that 1t was his intention to prefer and push serious charges against the Alabama republican leader. A portion of the interview is as fol- lows:
 T wish to make it clear that l had nothing whatever to do with the charges of pernicious political activity against him or any other federal of fcial. l have too much business of my own to attend to, to bother about him or his ilk. I am not concerned about Barker's doings nor have I ever been, except in so far as l have always been and always will be opposed to men of his stamp and character in public office, whose sole claim to mo- tice is his ability to manipulate negro delegations to republican conventions and who represent the old-time south ern republican politician whose con- duct and policies have made repub- licanism in the south a stencil in the nostrils of all decent, self-respecting people and a scandal and disgrace tf the national republican administration he has served under. I have repeat edly heard throughout the state that appointments to federal offices in Ala bama have been and are being bought and sold and that regular system of political assessment exists among cer. tain federal appointees in Alabama in direct violation of the statutes of the United States with a penalty of term in the penitentiary, and l shall now endeavor to call the attention of the postoffice department, the civil ser vice commission and the attention of the President himself to these charges with a view of determining if they are correct or not. An investigation will at least do no harm and if they are not true it is high time they should cease"
 Major Tebbetts stated that he was going to Washington within a short time to remain for several months and that it was his intention of making a vigorous fight against the republican system As it obtains in the state of Alabama.

ORDER AND.
 JUSTICE 0F MEXICO.
Colonel Roosevelt Makes Statement on Mexican
 Situation

Fl Paso, Tex, March 15.-"All the Uni ted States demands of Mexico is order, justice and Independence" declared Theo- dore Roosevelt this morning at breakfast given in his honor by the Toltec club.
 The colonels remarks were the only utterance he has made, on the Mexican situation and came as complete sur- prise to the members of his party.
 Colonel Roosevelt led up to his observa- tions on the Mexican trouble by saying the prosperity of his neighbors was @ condition of the prosperity of any men. He declared that honest dealing between man and man was the only certain foundation of prosperity. The same thing was true, he said. of the relations of communities to each other.
 Pausing as though to select his words. he then stated that he thought he spoke for all Americans when he said that all the United States demanded of Mexico was order, justice and independence.
 Continuing he declared that this coun- try wished to see all of its neighbors prosperous; that his hearers who knew from experience how the "turmoil' to the south, had affected business. He said that this country only demanded of it's nelghbors that order shall reign in their borders, and that order should be established upon justice.
 ,"I believe that more and more of our people are growing to realize the funda- mental error of the old outworn belief that a nation can permanently arise at the expense of It's neighbors,'' said Mr. Roosevelt.
 ."It is help to the United States to have every other country in the western hemisphere prosperous country.
 T am sure utter the sentiment of every American when I say that all the United States wishes to see in Mexico is prosperity; that we wish to see 1t have the prosperity that means material well being, industrial success. coupled with order, justice and independence.
 e''we wish well to Canada; we wish well to Mexico; we wish well to every other country in the western hemisphere and we ask them to do nothing for us except to do justice to therhselves by se- curing their prosperity, securing their
 
 independence, through the practice of the great fundamental principles of civiliza- ton, order and justice"
 Rincon, N. NJ, March 15.-During a train end speech here this afternoon I;Colonel Roosevelt touched on the New Mexican statehood bill which failed of passage during the recent session of con- gress. T have a peculiar feeling about New Mexico. It ought to have been a state a long time ago. It is inexcusable that it is not a state now.
 T am nightly interested in your ir- rigation project-the Rio Grande pro- ject. Don't let your irrigation project get mixed up with any private enterprise. You want to keep it absolutely free from any scandal or private trickery of any kind.
 T don't feel that New Mexico has been given a squarewdeal. Go on for a few months and you will get it all right"
