ELECTORS UNDER PLEDGE.
Third Party to Duplicate Republican
Ticket in Pennsylvania.

PHILADELPHIA Pa, July 13.-After
an all-day conference here between
former State Senator William Finn of
Pittsburgh and supporters of Theodore
Roosevelt from eastern counties of
Pennsylvania to consider plans for the
organization of the third party in this
state announcement was made that the
consensus of opinion favored the plac-
ing of the same set of presidential
electors on both the republican and third
party tickets. According to this plan, the
electors are to bind themselves to vote
in the electoral college for the candidate
on the ticket on which the elector re-
ceived the highest number of votes.
1t is said that If the tentative plan is
finally adopted, it would amount to
fusion in this state of the Taft vote
on the republican ticket. and of the
vote of the presidential candidate on
the third party ticket; that is. the COM
bined vote of the electors on the two
tickets would count against the vote re-
ceived by a democratic elector. In MAX
ing the announcement Mr.. Finn said:
The consensus of opinion seems to be
in favor of putting as many OF the ma
tional electors now on the republican
ticket on the national progressive ticket
as will agree to accept binding instruc-
tions in accordance with the vote cast
for Taft and Roosevelt in their respective
columns.
This will render it impossible for the
democratic party to obtain the electoral
vote of Pennsylvania. 1t should be un-
derstood. however, that this opinion is
not based on any definite conclusions as
yet. The final plans for conducting the
progressive campaign, including the ques-
ton of national electors. will not be de-
cided upon until the delegates at the Chi
cago convention have met in that city
and formed an organization
The electors on the republican ticket
We're selected at the republican state

Finn and his friends.

Roosevelt Says Lorimer Un-
seating Is Due to Him.
CITES DINNER INCIDENT
Refused to Attend Unless Invitation
to Senator Was Recalled.
COLONEL NOW HARD AT WORK
Preparing Statement of Views on
Questions Coming Up Before
Progressive Convention.

OYSTER BAY. n. Y, July 13.-'It was
my fight and it is my victory" said Col.
Roosevelt today when he learned of the
expulsion of Senator William Lorimer
from the United States Senate. The
whole thing began when / refused to dine
with him at the Hamilton Club dinner.
If had. sat quietly through that dinner
there would have been no division in the
Senate committee and the whole thing
would have been dropped l made the
stand. and the fight kept growing on and
on
The Hamilton Club dinner to which Col.
Roosevelt referred was held in Chicago
two years ago. The colonel created a
good deal of excitement on the day of
the dinner by refusing to attend it unless
the invitation go the senator, who was a
member of the club, was recalled. He won
his point, and was then urged not to re-
fer to the incident in his speech that
night. He refused to heed this advice,
however and assailed the senator bit
terly.
Col. Roosevelt said that he believed the
fight on Senator Lorimer would have been
dropped II he had not continued to at
tack him in his writings and in his re-
cent campaign for the republican presi-
Dental nomination.
Mr.. Lorimer has a right to feel irri-
tated at me- he said. II intended him
to feel that way
Dispatches from Seagirt saying Charles
r. Crane of Chicago had announced that
he would support Gov. Wilson apparently
were of no concern to Col Roosevelt.
Never Allied With Crane.
Mr.. Crane was never allied with u.s. -
he said, "and he never contributed cent
for my campaign. He was for La Toilette
first, and when La Toilette was defeated
he was for WILSON,
Col. Roosevelt said that he would be un-
able to attend the organization of the new
Michigan under the oaks at jackson"
July 20. He had been invited to sound
the keynote" of the progressive campaign
at the birth of the new party In Michigan.
Il am very hard at work. said the
colonel, with the preparation of q long
statement of my own views on the big
questions which are to come up before
the national progressive convention. l
want to have this completed before the
convention meets. l do not think that |
shall be able to get away from here next
week. l am very sorry, as particularly
would like to attend the meeting at Jack
son..
Col. Roosevelt added that it did not fol-
low he would abandon his proposed trip
through Michigan, Iowa and Kansas in
connection with the primaries for the
election of candidates for republican
electors. He may leave here for the west
a week later than the Michigan conven-
tion.

MICHAEL WELSH DEAD
 AT AGE OF 1O5 YEARS
Be Good, Be Honest and Don't Drink Liquor, ]" He Gave
 as His Motto

Springfield, Mass, May. 16.-Michael Welch died last evening in the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. J. J. Ea- gan of 124O North street, at the age of 1O5. He was born in County Gal way. Ireland, and early in life went to England, where he followed his trade: as a tailor. He came to this country and settled in Boston and la ter came to this city to make his home with his granddaughter.
 Coming of a healthy and devout fam fly, his life was always marked by cleanness of living. and when inter- viewed last fall he said that, the basis of longevity lay in, 'tBe good and be honest and don't drink liquor." Al- though having passed the century mark by five years, his health and his eyesight were remarkable, his hand shake having the firn1ness of a much younger man.
 During the past few years his abil- ity to place definitely dates and cir cumstances was somewhat impaired. but on the whole his recollection was excellent. When a man passed the century mark, he said. he has lived long enough, and Mir. Welch said that he was simply awaiting the will of God to be taken. Up to the la4t he retained unusual vigor and always took his daily walk. He leaves eight grand children.

MASONIC APRON
 WAS WORN BY WASHINGTON

The Masonic apron worn by George Washington when he, was, member of the order in Philadelphia is probab- ly. the most precious garment of it's kind in the world This apron is jealously guarded and is in the pos session of the Masonic Lodge at Le- roy, Mclean County, Pa. The pat tern, style and fineness of the fiber, white silk being the material used in the apron, tend to substantiate the au- thenticity of the apron s s.:
 The numerous enblems of Masonry are embr roidered over: the small piece of silk. At the top there is a flap upon which is embroidered an eye with a many-pointed star Below ap- pears an altar of blocked stone, sur mounted with a globe on each side. To the rear of the altar Is an open Bible, showing the gospel of St. John, with a rule and compass across the pages Two candles are on each side of the book and cas above, all burn ing.
 There is no date, unfortunately, con- .cerning the identity of the person or persons who embroidered the apron. The work shows extraordinary skill and must have taken months to com plete The relic is considered price, less, and is an object of the deepest interest to all those who are privileged to examine it.-Denver Times.

ITALY IN PICTURE AND SONG
Sunday Evening Diversion At Park Avenue Temple-Dr. Thorner
 to Lead.

Next Sunday. evening at Park Ave- nue Temple, Dr. Maurice Thorner will conduct a large audience on a trip through Italy. The stereopticon will help to visualize Italian cities, their places of interest, objects of art and historic spots. A quartette under the direction of Mrs. H. L. Bishop with Mrs. Elmer Beardsley at the piano win illustrate the art of the Italian composers and sing the songs of Ve- netian gondoliers, and those heard on the streets of that land of music.
 Travel is a great educator, but when one cannot afford the time or expense the best substitute is to see foreign lands in picture, and to hear about them.. No country surpasses Italy in interest, where the ancient and mod ern meet, and where the worlds mas terpieces of sculpture and painting are
 A visit will be paid to Venice, tn, city of the sea, whose streets are ca
 nals and where the hoof of a hors. is never heard. There the home ot Desdemona is still pointed out, and 'the house in which Shylock is, said to have lived. Some time will be spent in Verona made famous by Shakes peare,s Romeo and Juliet, and where they still claim to have the tomb of Juliet. There will be walks through Florence to purify which Savanorola sacrificed his life, F1orence-the scene of George Eliot's Ronaola. where Dante lived and Michael Angelo wrought and Raphael painted. Pisa will be seen and its leaning tower, the mar vel of architectural art. You may take a seat on the stone benches of the Coliseum in Rome, where once the buzz of eager nations ran as man was slaughtered by his fellowman to make a Roman holiday. You may stand in the Forum and hear again the Friend Of Caesar haranguing the Roman pop ulace. If you feel so inclined yoa1 may walk on the Appian way and pass the church of Quo Vadis which gave the name to the novel of Sienkiewitz. You will certainly want to see Pompeii which buried for centuries under the ashes and lava of Vesuvius is-now be- ing excavated, and where one can see how the Romans lived and how the streets looked when Pliney walked through them.
