Manager Mckinley of the Taft forces
has new angle on Roosevelt's attitude.
He said last night:
Roosevelt has done Taft great deal
of good. particularly in the middle and
far west. Today ] talked to a number of
men from the northwestern states, and
they all agreed that Roosevelt had
broken up the other progressive move
ments. Some of those who favored La
Toilette and other nominal candidates
have gone over to Col. Roosevelt. Some
of them have come back into the Taft
fold. When the time comes for action all
of them will line up for Taft. There is
only the kindest feeling for Roosevelt at
the White House, as far as | have been
able to find out.
Roosevelt is a very bright man, and
doubtless will surprise many people who
have been making representations as to
the position he will take in the conven-
ton. / have no reason to believe that
the White House is at all disturbed over
the former Presidents position"

The Oklahoma democratic primaries for
the selection of delegates to the coming
state convention were held Saturday. The
first dispatches say that Woodrow Wilson
carried twenty-five counties, with a hun

Ii. A. 0RME SAYS WIFE
"DOCT0RED" HIS FOOD
In Suit for a Limited Divorce
Declares His Health
Was Impaired.

Harry A. Orme today filed suit for a
limited divorce against his wife, Thad-
denia w Orme. on the allegation OF
cruelty, which. he says, consisted in the
placing of a substance in his food which
of the alleged action of his wife, he de-
clares his health was impaired and he
deemed it proper to leave his home.
Mr.. Orme is now paying 500 monthly
alimony to his wife under an order Of
court, signed in a suit for maintenance
recently filed by her on the charge OF
desertion and that he was squandering
his income on experiments in aviation.
The husband tells the court that since
he left home he has been taking a trip
for his health, and returned to Wash
ington January 8 last much improved,
having gained fourteen pounds.
Mr.. Orme tells Of a disagreement with
his wife prior to 1910. which was patched
up. Last October. he declares, he noticed
an impairment in his health, and re-
ceived information from one of his
servants that something was being
placed in his food injurious to the human
system, he says.
An investigation was set on foot by
last he refrained from eating the food
set before him, and took portion to an
eminent chemist for examination.
According to the report following the
analysis, he AYERS, there was bromide
of soda in the food which, he claims
he was advised is poisonous in its effect
upon the human system.
Says Children Are Neglected.
Since the reconciliation in 1915 Mr..
Orme states, his wife has been extrava-
CANT and has spent money on herself
and deprived their three children Of what
should have been expended in their in
terest. He AYERS the wife has not prop
rly cared for the children, who are aged
eight, five and three years.
The husband requests the court to re-
lieve the wife of the custody of the chill
dren and to place them in proper re-
ligious institution.
Attorney Wilton J. Lambert represents
the husband. Attorney D. w. Baker APP
pears for the wife, and at previous
hearing of the case denied the allegation
that airs. Orme had 'doctored'' her hus-
bands food.

GETS THIRD RESPITE
FROM DEATH PENALTY
Justice Wright Sets New Date
for the Execution of Ar
thur Johnson.

Arthur Johnson, colored, who was
sennteced to be handed next Wednesday
for the killing of John Ofenstein in De-
ccehhber, 1910, will not be executed on
that date. At the request of Attorney
man, Justice Wright today postponed
the execution of the sentence until Mon
day, April ID 1912.
The postponement way made neces-
sary in order to give the Court Of APP
peals sufficient time to consider and de-
eide the question Of the right of jury
to qualify the verdict in a case of first
degree murder so as to make the pun
ishment life Imprisonment instead of
death.
Appellate Court Assents.
Assistant United States Attorney Proc
tor consulted Justice Wright about the
postponement but was told to make the
request to the appellate court. Mr.. Proc
tor then suggested the matter to Chief
Justice Shepard and his associates on
the appellate bench and was advised that
that court had no objection to the setting
of future date by Justice Wright. The
chief justice stated that no decision could
be reached on Johnson's appeal before
the date set for the execution. The case
was argued to the appellate court last
Monday and a decision is looked for not
later than the first Monday in March.
AS it was considered probable coun-
sci for the condemned man would seek
a writ of certiorari from the United
States Supreme Court in the event OF
an adverse decision, it was decided to
postpone the execution for a period
sufficiently long to allow of such ap-
plication.
Johnson's Third Respite.
This is the third respite from the
gallows received by Johnson. His exc
cution was set for July 81, 1911, but
in order to allow Of his appeal a delay
until November 20 was granted. When
the case had not been reached for
hearing by the appellate court at that
date Justice Wright stayed the execu-
ton until February ii, which date has
now been advanced to April 10.

Acquisition of Site.

The agitation that went constantly on
from 1873 until 1903 resulted, in the lat
ter year. in the putting of paragraph in
the omnibus public building bill provid-
ing for the purchase of the square be-
tween E. F. 18th and 10Th streets as a
site for the hall Of records. and the
square has since been acquired.
Since that time, the agitation has been
to get building on the site, but that
agitation has not yet brought results.
Regarding the site for the building, the
history presented by Senator Poindexter
has this to say:
Meanwhile, by provision of the
public buildings act of June %. 1910, the
Secretary Of the Treasury has been
authorized and directed to prepare de-
signs and estimates for a building to be
erected on square 143 to house the
geological survey, the general land Of
fee and the bureau of mines. and it
may therefore be presumed that square
143 is no longer to be considered as
specially devoted to the desired archive
building.

Need of Building to Hold the
National Archives.
EFFORTS TO OBTAIN ONE
Described in Senate Document Just
Issued.
SENATOR P0INDEXTER'S BILL
Proposed That Designs of Structure
and Estimates Of Cost
Be Prepared.

A history Of the movement for a ma
tional archives building in the National
Capital is presented in a Senate docu-
ment which was issued today from the
government printing Office.
Senator Poindexter asked to have the
document printed, when he introduced
his bill directing the Secretary of the
Treasury to prepare designs and esti-
mates as to the cost of a national ar
chives building in Washington: and au-
thorizing the purchase of a site.
The history shows that executive Of
ficers of the federal departments, ia
miliar. with the needs for some place in
which could be stored the invaluable
records of the republic and the historic
treasures now scattered around various
offices in various departments. and with
the dangers of loss to which these docu-
ments are now exposed by reason Of the
structures that are not fireproof, first
directed the attention of Congress to the
need of an archives building in 1873.
The then quartermaster general Of the
army, Maj. Gen. Montgomery c. Meigs,
recommended to George w. McCrary,
then Secretary of War, the erection of
d Hall OF TeCOTuS LOT preservation VI
the records of the executive departments
not required for daily reference" The
Secretary sent the recommendation to
Congress with his Endorsement: and Pres
ident Hayes. in his message in 1873. ex-
pressed his strong approval Of the plan.
The Argument of Fire.
Congress did not pay any attention to
the matter at that time. But couple
Of years later, when fire broke out in
the War Department and threatened the
destruction of valuable records there
stored. the Senate committee OH public
buildings and grounds reported favorably
a bill appropriating 100000 for the pur-
chase of a site for an archives building.
The bill rested calmly before the Sem
ate without action until another fire
broke out in the War Department. Then
the Senate gave it's approval to the meas
ure. But the House didn't act, and
there were no more fires in the War De-
partment to prod Congress on again.
Since that time three Presidents of the
United States, many cabinet officers and
all of the executive departments have
urged or approved the plan for an
archives building. But 1t is still being
asked for.
