where a face appeared. Many peo-
pie appeared at their windows to
learn the cause of the shooting and
were fired at by the police, according
to their own admissions.
The first violence was when three
strikers who were standing in the
streets, as peaceable as they could
possibly be, were charged by the po-
lice, knocked to the ground and beat
en- into unconsciousness.
This wanton brutality so angered
the strikers that in a moment ten
thousand swarmed into the streets.
Milaz was shot in the back as he fled
and while 1t Is not as yet known for
sure who fired the shot, it Is believed
it will prove that the police did it, in
the same manner that a policeman
murdered young woman striker sew
eral days ago and for which Strike
Leader Ettor is now held in prison.
Following this scrimmage, the police
ordered the streets cleared and fifty
strikers were placed under arrest.
The parade of strikers then start
ed, the marchers singing the Marsel-
aise. The police waited until the
marchers reached Jackson street and
then charged them without warning,
telling women and men with heavy
blows from the lead tipped clubs and
trampling them under feet in their
mad rush to reach more victims. Af-
ter a march of seven blocks, the
strikers dispersed and returned to
their homes.
The police, not satisfied with their

TELLS GOVERNORS
HE MAY BE DRAFTED
Expresses Hope That Prim-
aries May Select
Candidates

New York, Feb 26.-Former Pres
ident Roosevelt has announced that
he will accept the republican nomi-
nation for presidential candidate.
The announcement was made last
night from his offices here.
Active work of lining up delegates
favorable to his candidacy began in
earnest today and hardly had the ink
dried on the letter written to the
eight governors who urged him to
enter the race, until Roosevelt head
quarters were opened here in the
Metropolitan building oliver Car
penter, one of the shrewdest politi-
clans in the state, Is in charge of the
headquarters.
Friends of the colonel think he will
begin a personal campaign Wednes-
day when he arrives here from Bos-
ton. 1t is reported that he will soon
start for Phoenix, Ariz., where his
son Archie is studying, and will de-
liver speeches en- route.
Branch Roosevelt headquarters will
be opened Immediately in Chicago.
San Francisco and other western
cities.
One of the features of Colonel
Roosevelt's letter is his wish that the
presidential preference of the people
be expressed through direct primar-
i. les.
| Roosevelt's letter to the governors
was remarkably brief and follows:
"Gentlemen:-I deeply appreciate
your letter and I realize to the full
the heavy responsibility it puts upon
me, expressing as it does carefully
considered convictions of men elect
ed by popular vote, to stand as the
heads of their several states.
"I absolutely agree with you that
this matter is not one to be decided
with any reference to the personal
preferences or interests of any man,
but purely from a standpoint of the
interests of the people as a whole.
'I will accept the nomination for
president if it is rendered me and
1 will adhere to this decision until
the convention has expressed its pref
erence."
The letter concludes, saying he
hopes the people will be given
chance to make the choice of their
presidential candidate by direct pri-
maries.
