FLINN BOWS TO COLONEL
Third Termers Will Run Ticket
in Pennsylvania.

tFrom Stsf Correspondent Of The Tribunel
Chicago, Aug. 6.-Colonel Roosevelt has
'recaptured" Pennsylvania. and William
Finn. OF Pittsburgh. has surrendered. In
accordance with the Roosevelt wishes a
straightout third pa:ty electoral ticket
Will be run in Pennsylvania. and as re-
suit the Roosevelt men, who have con-
troll Of the state convention. will have

name Penrose and Oliver in the list.
Colonel Roosevelt made this statement

Pennsyl vanians. who have been extreme
~ kind. They say that they Will accept
my wishes and VIC VIII run straight
third party ticket In Pennsylvania. You
see, thrce-quarters OF the Republican
electors are Roosevelt men. and the pro-
poSal was made that they should run on
both tickets and vote for whichever can
didatc either Mr.. Taft or MYSELF got the
more ballots. This proposition could not
accept.
Moreover. in Pennsylvania. under the
law. unlike Kansas. tho names ~ Tau

felt that the Roosevelt electors should
not be I'm that column at all. and: more
over. under no circumstances would have
consented that anv man who voted for
me could possibly have his vote counted ~
favor OF Mr.. Taft | may add that while
this was not a con sideratio that weighed
with me. II Is nevertheless true that the
final court decisions in the Kansas case
might create a situation which would
have rendered il out OF the question To q"
what has been proposed by pennsylvania
in any event.
In Pennsylvania the Progressive cleo
tors will go under the Progressive emblem
on the Washington ticket, and II will BE-

VIII Mr.. Finn be Obliged 10 resign At

Explanation Of Negro Question.
Colonel Roo.evelt's explanation OF his
attitude on the negro question was In
teresting. and II gems to be satisfac-
tory TO certain negroes from the North
ern states. especially those from West
Virginia. of whom Re declared repeat
cdy that they were the equal intel
lectually. in character and In citizen
ship" Of rho white members Of that
delegation. lie declared that he wei
coined the question regarding his atti-
rude toward Tho colored brother. and
he reiterated his conviction that the
American people could be led, but not
driven"
This being the case. he maintained
that IL was useless any longer 10 at
tempt 10 drive the men OF the Southern
states into according 10 the negro his
rights: that the only practical way u
accomplish tho desired end was 10
sanction the deprivation OF the negrc
OF these rights IN the Southern states,
where he Is so numerous, and 10 set a
good example 10 the white men OF the
South by according full rights TO the
negro in the North, where he is less
numerous and where he votes. and the.
10 split the Democratic party IN the
South.
Mr.. Roosevelt said it ell with an ali
Of profoundest conviction. and his re-
marks were frequently interrupted By
cheers from the white delegates from
the Southern states. especially those
from Mississippi, In whose behalf the
regularly elected negro delegates from
the same state were 70 eHecti&!y
steam rollered by the new party's ma
tional committee. But although l.
sounded somewhat convincing when
Mr.. Roosevelt said it with his charac-
teristic force from the platform. there
are misgivings as 10 how II will read
and as 10 what will be the effect on
the negro brother generally and es-
pec,ally in those states where his vote
counts.
Incidentally. Mr.. Roosevelt paid his
respects 10 the character OF the negro
delegates which IN the past have come
10 the Republican national conventions,
especially those who came this year,
and his remarks were far from compli-
mentary.
Il Is generally agreed that tho Roose-
welt policy IL fine in theory, but II Is
gravely questioned b. some Of his sup
porters whether II will work we'll in
practice. They freely admit that the
coloners own explanation, which he ex-
p4cts 10 deliver IN every state in the
Union between now and November. will
make Il work. And some OF them fear
they may be Tackled about II when
they are on the stump and may not be

FOR THE AMERICAN
REVOLUTIONISTS
ARMS ARE REPORTED SECRETLY
SHIPPED FROM MONTGOMERY
TO MEXICO.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May ia
carload of rifles and ammunition con-
signed to the Mexican revolutionists
mas been secretly removed from
Montgomery, according to represen-
tatives of the Mexican secret SER
vice, who reached this city today.
Special Agent McDonnenn, under
authority of the consul at Mobile, has
started an investigation of rumors
that the arms were brought to Mont
somery from Meridian, Miss, and
foated down the Alabama river in a
barge Secret service men trailed a
packet on the river near Selma for
several hours Sunday and it is believ-
ed the packet was used in filibus-
tering expedition or to strengthen
the opponents of President Madero.
The rifles have been held at Merid-
ian for several weeks. Thy were in
tercepted by United States officials,
it is reported, and held until the lat
ter part of the week, when they were
secretly removed from storage. Local
detectives are working on the case
also.
One steamboat which has made
several trips to Montgomery recently
is tied up at Mobile and it is rumored
a libel may be issued charging 1t with
aiding the revolutionists.
The Mexican officials are known to
the federal department of justice, but
United States District Attorney w. s.
Reece declares he has no authority
to make any statement about their
presence in Montgomery. The rumor
that the secret service men are in
