ROOSEVELT NOT
SPEAKING N 0 W
Explains Why He Is Unable to
attend Deeper Waterways
Convention.
EAGER TO AVOID PUBLICITY
Woodrow Wilson, on Other
Hand, Distressed Because
He Cannot Be Here.

The part which former President The
odore Roosevelt will take in the COM
ing national campaign will be to initiate
the Sphinx. according to letter which
he wrote to Congressman j. Hampton
Moore, of Pennsylvania. president of
the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Asso-
citation, declining the honor of address,
ing the association at It's convention
here. Colonel Roosevelt emphaticaliy
declared: From now on wish to avoid
making any speech that 1 possibly can
avoid" Concluding his letter, Mr..
Roosevelt said Il cannot Undertake
now"
These portions of the colonel's letter
were taken by the waterways delegates
TO mean that he wished to refrain from
giving utterance to any opinions which
possibly might be misconstrued in con-
nection with the presidential campaign.
No other meaning could be deducted
from his refusal to be a speaker at
the waterways convention. 1t Is ap-
that he intends to remain silent
throughout the entire campaign. which
already has begun with President
Taft's swing around the circle through
the West.
Characteristic Letter.
Colonel Roosevelt's letter to Presi-
dent Moore, written from New York
under date OF September 81. follows:
" wish it were possible for my friends
to realize my position. not for my own
sake. but because then they would under
stand just why it is that l cannot ac-
cept all the invitations which come
to me. From now on ] wish to avoid
making any speech that I possibly can
avoid. and greatly though 1 appre-
ciate an invitation from such a body
as the one you represent. 1t really il,
not possible for me to accept. / can
notu ndertake anything further of any
kind or sort now. l am very sorry"
Governor Wilson's Regrets.
Governor Woodrow Wilson. an
avowed candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination, was dis
tressed" over his failure to take part
in the convention. this being due to
the necessity of work at home for the
Democratic cause. Writing President
Moore from Trenton. he expressed his
regrets as follows:
II am distressed to find that II will
be literally impossible for me to at
tend the Atlantic Deeper Waterways
conference. October will be filled for
us with very important political cam
paign. with the election of the whole
of our Assembly and one-third of our
Senate. 1t Is my important duty, find,
to put myself at the service of the
hope. however, that New Jersey will be
abundantiy and well represented. 1
/, shall expect to send you list of DEL

Charles Marzyek. ex-convict, sought
by the county authorities in connec-
ton with the murder of the five mem

tins were killed with an axe.
Samuel Snowman. brother of Will

family. to-day started at the head OF
a posse to search the country. Mar
zyek is believed to be hidden In the
neighborhood. II he is found, a battle
is expected.
Flee to Safety.
Marzyek not long ago served a term
for stealing grain from James Vopat.
Last night, Vopat, who is the husband
of Marzye ks former wife, saw the ex-
convict in field near his house. vo-
pat and his family terror-stricken.

home of Slav fellow countryman. f,ve
miles distant.
All the membrs OF the Slev commun-
ity who had any onnection with the
conviction of Marzyeh Went armed to-
day, for he is reported TO have sworn
vengeance on those responsible for his
Imprisonment.
Ira Lloyd, the attorney who defend
ed Marzyek in the wheat stealing case.
said to-day:
Il believe Marzyek Will remain in
the ncighborhood until HI completes
his vengeance, After his sentence he
told me that. when he was released ho
would come back and kill the people
who We're responsible for his convic-
ton and also their children. ! will put
them all in hell he said"
Evidence furnished by Mr.. and Mrs
William Snowman is said to have been
largely responsible for Marzyek's con
viction.
Nine persons remain here who fear
his vengeance. These persons, all OF
the Slav's own race, are James Vopat

Insane Cruelty.
AS to a possible connection between
the Ellsworth and other tragedies. Mrs.
Vopat said her former husband was
convicted of forgery in Colorado
Springs a few months ago. She said
1t was not improbable that he had been
in Monmouth lately. The same insan.

tragedies at Colorado Springs. In the
murders of william e. Dawson. his
wife and daughter. in Monmouth. and
In the killing of the Showmans.
Marzyek served In the Philippine
War. and after his return to this coun-
try deserted the army. He has been
in trouble since for forging checks and
stealing. Until he went to the pen!-
Tertiary he was a constant fugitive.
