ROOSEVELT. GIVES
 HIS APPROVAL 10
 LEAGUE PLATFORM
Especial from United Press. )

New York. Jan. 25-That Colonel Theodore Roosevelt approves of the platform of the National Republican Progressive League is shown by an article by him in the current issue of the Outlook of which he is con- tributing editor. \ Colonel Roosevelt s name. however, does not appear in the explanation. his friends say that if he had participated in the movement it would have been hailed at once as third term propaganda and much of it's usefulness destroyed.
 That the Colonel is in favor of the things for which the organization stands is proven conclusively by the Outlook article which is over his sig nature. He discusses these sugges- tfons which are a part of the platform of the new organization:
 Drastic laws to prevent the cor ton of United States Senators by di- rect vote. Direct primagies of nomi- nation and elective officers. Direct election of delegates to national con ventions. the voter to. express his choice for President on the ballot for delegate. Introduction of initiative, referendum and recall"
 2 The latter is the one subject which the Colonel handles in a somewhat conservative manner. Speaking of the recall. he says:
 "As regards the recall. it is some times unsuccessful but contains un- doubted possibilities of mischief and, of course. it is least necessary in the case of short term elective officers. There is. however. unquestionably a very real argument to be made for it as regards officers elected or appoint ed for life.''
 Colonel Roosevelt admits that this latter class is the judiciary and prom ises an article on this topic later So far as the initiative and referendum are concerned. he says:
 Where popular interest is suffi- ciently keen. as it should be in the case of certain amendments to the na- tiona1 constitution at various times in the initiative under another name I believe that it would be a good thing to have the principle of the Initiative and referendum applied in most of our States. always provided that 1t be safeguarded@ as to prevent it's being used either wantonly or in spirit of levity."
 In conclusion. Roosevelt says: "I believe in adopting every device for popular government which is in theory good and whene the practice bears out establish genuine popular rule and get rid of privilege without the use of new devices to meet new needs. I think that this is the situation which now confr0nts us in the United States and that the adoption in principle of the program on which the Progressives, especially in the West are tending to unite, offers the best Ance to, achieve the desired result"

SINCERE REGRET
 OVER DEATH OF
 AUTHOR PHILLIPS
Special from United Press,

New York. Jan. 25-Sincere eXpres- sions of sorrow were heard on all sides today, following the death at 11:O7 last night of David Graham Phillips, the Indiana author, who was shot on Monday Almost to the last his friends believed that he would re- cover, but his strength was not suffi- cient to withstand the strain of the operations necessitated by the wounds.

 'In the name of my father. my mother and myself. I wish to express the greatest sorrow oyer. the shooting of MT. Phillips and his death. .r. My brother was not responsible, he was insane"
 Dr. Weston the coroners physician, signed the Phillips death certificate. He said there was no need of an au- topsy. The inquest will be held later.

COUNT GIVES UP
 AVIATION FOR
 WEALTHY BRIDE
Especial from United Press. )

London. Jan. 25.-One of the most fashionable audiences of the season gathered at St.. James Church, this afternoon, for the marriage of Count Jacques De Lesseps, the noted avia- tor, and Miss Grace Mackenzie, daughter of Sir William Mackenzie, of Toronto, which was solemnized at o'clock. by Canon Gildea.

 Immediately following the wedding ceremony a reception was held at Claride's, after which the Count and his wife started for Egypt on their honeymoon. Among the Counts pres ents to his wife were a ring set with diamonds, a diamond and coral pend ant and an antique emerald and dia- mond box.
 ' The marriage of the Count mark ed his retirement from the field of aviation, in which he won much fame, his achievements including a trans-Channel flight. Miss Macken- Zie eXacted promise from her fiance that he would never fly again, she being fearful of great risks that at- tend the sport.
