OYSTER BOY, N. Y, Oct. ga
long nights sleep largely offset the
wearisome effects of Colonel Roose-
velt's trip from Chicago to Oyster
Bay and he was greatly refreshed
when he awoke this morning. He de-
clared he was hungry and his break
fast was prepared an hour before the
usual time. He expected to sit up
for several hours today.
Word was given out that no visitors
would be permitted to see Colonel
Roosevelt today. His physicians told
him he must see no one until Thurs
day and that upon his obedience of
their order for absolute rest might de-
pend his chances of resuming the
work of campaign later.
Tomorrow if the patient continues
to improve he probably will be per-
mitted to see George w. Perkins, SEN
ator Dixon, William H. Hotehkiss, the
New York state progressive chairman,
and few other leaders for short
conference, at which he will once more
take charge of the affairs of the
party.
The colonel's physicians went to
Sycamore Hill this afternoon to dress
his wound.

clothing, found on the bank Of tho
river, were receipts from a cleaning
company, showing payments by
George r. Millet, and in a wallet found
in the coat there WAS photograph of
a woman, with "Mrs. George X. Mil
et." written on the back Of the pic
ture.

and his clothing indicated he was pros
porous, although there was no money
in the pockets.

for 8 o'clock by the crew Of a Colo
RADIO and Southern switch engine, rum
ming near the river. They notified

WOMEN
RIOT IN
BERLIN
Housewives Mad Because
Butchers Refuse tOHan-

Western Press

NesleTn fTeSS
BERLIN, Oct. 23.-Hundreds of
Berlin housewives joined in a wild
riot today because butchers in the
municipal markets refused to handle
meat imported SO as to reduce the
cost of livinf.
The principal trouble occurred in
the Weddings district, which is inhab-
tied entirely by working people. Hun
dreds of women, who went to the mu-
nicipal market hoping to profit by the
reduced prices, found the butchers had
agreed not to deal in meats imported
by the municipality. Then they storm
ed the butchers stall, seized all ma
tive raised meat, trampled it on the
ground and fought with the butchers.
The police We're forced to close the
market to stop the riots.
The prices of meats are so high in
Berlin that the government recently
gave permission to the city authori-
ties to bring in and sell meats from
abroad at city markets. The butchers
at first agreed to handle these meats,
but late last evening announced they
had decided on a general boycott of
them in the twelve municipal markets
of Berlin. The municipality declares
its intention of furnishing the butchers
by canceling their license.

FEW BILLS PASSED
BY DEMOCRATS

AS an illustration of how the last
Democratic Legislature enacted bills;
One week before the Eighteenth
General Assembly adjourned only
seven bills had reached Governor Shat
roth for HE signature or rejection.
When the legislature adjourned, be-
tween $50 and 900 measures were in
his hands, these not counting the ap-
preparation bills. The last week of
the Assembly was simply case Of
''you tickle no I'll tickle you" The
measures were not read separately.
Neither were they read individually.
to LOG at time. One roll call was
made and the reeords were made to
show that the bills we're read and
considered at length. If some member
discovered bill TO which de did not
desire to lend his support he was
supposed to have himself marked mo"
on that bill. Such rotten condition
never prevailed before in n Colorado
assembly. There was hardly a law
enacted that since then some "joker"
or mistake has not been found in it.
This last day rush is responsible for
the highway commission fund being
tied up, and is responsible for many
of the complex situations that have
arisen during this administration. On
the Saturday night following the ad-
journment of the session, Governor
Shaffroth said: 81 have no idea what
is in the batch of bills before me-"

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 23.-
The battle between the rebel forces
of General Felix Diaz and the Mexi-
can government forces under General
Beltran, impending for several days,
began at Vera Cruz at o'clock this
morning.
Commander Hughes of the United
States cruiser Des Moines, cabled the
foregoing information to the navy de-
partment today but gave no further
details.
Speculation connects the approach
ing return to Washington of President
Taft, contrary to the arrangements
previously made for a sojourn at Hot
Springs, Va, with the critical situa-
tion in Mexico, and there are again
hints of the possibility of special
session of congress to relieve the
president of the decision as to whether

CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.

Mr.. C. A. Ballreich of Pueblo, Re
Pressional district, was in the city last
evening calling on the people and talk
ing over the political situation.
Mr.. Ballreich is certainly the best
equipped man in the whole district for
the position he seeks. The state OF
Colorado could not send a better man
to congress than this high-minded cit
izen of Pueblo.
He stands right on the questions
that effect the chief industries of the
state and should the people send him
to congress he will vote and work for
Colorado, first, last and all the time.
Mr.. Ballreich does not believe that,
even if personal gain should prompt
one to work against our chief indus
tries, public servant should work to
the detriment of those whom he rep
resents. For this reason the people of
the Second congressional district may
expect that he will oppose any meas
ure that will interfere with the su-
gar beet industry, the mining or sheep
growing business.
The Republicans, Progressives and
all Democrats who are in favor of pro
tecting the big industries Of the state
should go to the polls and center the
vote on Mr.. Ballreich. To scatte.

means the election of man who will

TO CHANGE BRAND DEPART
MENT TO SECRETARY'S OFFICE

John Ramer, Republican candidate
for Secretary Of State today pledged
himsef to use his influence to turn
the brand department which is now
in the Secretary of States office
over to the state board of stock in
spection commissioners and to use his
influence to have the law that is now
being voted upon carried for the stock
men.
The brand department has always
been in the office of the Secretary of
State. Two years ago the legislature
enacted a law transferring it to the
state board of stock inspection COM
missioners. Secretary of State Pearce
determined to get all the patronage
possible, had his employees circulate
a petition referring the bill to the
people. By so doing he entailed cost
of several thousand dollars on the
people and showed that his principal
reason for holding office was to give
his friends jobs, because the brand
department should by all rights be
in the office of the state board of
stock inspection commissioners. Ra-
mer, the Republican candidate comes
forward in an open and frank state
ment and says so far as he is concern
ed he wants the brand department
where it should be and that he will
use his entire influence to have it
placed there.

FOR COUNTY TREASURER.

The Republicans of La Plata county
selected J. M. Turner Of Bayfield, to
make the race for county treasurer.
Mr.. Turner was born in Clearmont
county, Ohio, in the year 1866, but the
Turner family moved to Pennsylvania
in 1872 where they took up a per-
manent residence.
Mr.. Turner, like other young men
of his day, decided to come west and
grow up with the country, so in 1888
he came to Canon City, Colo, where
he was engaged as assistant post
master for two years. Then he work
ed in the Fremont County bank two
years after which he became assist
ant cashier in the Florence bank. Aft
er two years work in this position he
resigned to try his fortunes in the
Cripple Creek boom where he remain
ed for some three years.
Later he spent some time In the
cattle business at Montrose, Colo, and
then travelled for the Underhill Man
ufacturing company for three years.
Having become attached to the San
Juan country he came to Bayfield, in
1904 and became cashier of the Bank
Of Bayfield,. At the present time Mr..
Turner is engaged in the mercantile
business there and is a member of
the Bayfield, Mercantile company.
He has had a varied experience
which has well qualified him for the
position Of county Treasurer.

ACCEPTED THE OPPORTUNITY

1t appears from the reports sent out
by the Democrats that Wilson was
more than glad to accept the oppor-
tunity offered by the shooting OF Roos-
evelt to close the speaking canipaign
that had been planned by the Demo
cratic committee.
Everywhere storm Of protest went
up to the committee because il had
put the governor in the field After
his trip to Colorado and other cen
trail states it became apparent 20 all
that Wilson was injuring his campaign
and that unless something would hap
pen whereby he could honorably dlit
the campaign that he would damage
materially his own cause.
The Democrats had been so used to
an inspiring and aggressive leader
that they had come to believe that any
man selected as candidate by the
party would be magnetic and an at
tractive speaker. In this they have
been disappointed as Wilson is only a
very ordinary speaker and not in the
least attractive. Those who heard him
en- his recent trip said that unless
he could be withdrawn the Democrats
would suffer greatly. Democrats ev.
erywhere made no secret of this ant
were greatly relieved when Wilson
said he would make no speeches until
Roosevelt was able to again take the
stump, although the Rough Rider In.
sisted that Wilson was duty bound te
continue his addresses.
