hospital u uaining school, Miss Florence
Weston, a strikingly handsome pupil

mitted suicide at the Hotel Astor some
time Saturday night.
A chambermaid who had sought to
clean the room after trying the door
several times during the day, reported
to the office and the door was forced
open. The body of Miss Weston was
found in bed. BY the side of the bed
chair were two glasses of water
and a qantity of cyanide of potassium.
On the table were four letters One
of these was addressed to her moth
er, Mrs. Florence Weston of Santa
Barbara, and one to a nurse in the
training school. These letters, which
were sealed, were mailed at once. A
letter addressed to the coroner was
as follows:

LEADERS INDICATE
PROGRESSIVE PARTY
MANY PROMINENT G. o. p.
MEN IN NEW ORGANIZATION
Red Bandana Handkerchief Is Battle
Flag of New Political Army, Col
onel Roosevelt Approving of Com
mon Peoples Rag.

| Chicago, June 24.-The Progressive
party, born Saturday night was dedi-
Gated Sunday. In the presence of
ed leaders of the movement, others
perhaps 500, some of them recogniz-
merely onlookers, the first formal
step was taken. Governor Johnson OF
California. was empowered to appoint
committee of seven to confer with
Colondl Roosevelt and frmulate a
plan of action. In the opinin of the
leaders, the new party enters the
field with a formidable equipment at
the outset. These leaders, however,
said as to the men who took con-
spicuous part in the campaign for
Colonel Roosevelt's animation, each
much speak for himself. The atti-
tude of Governor Hadley of Missouri
was the chief point of discussion along
this line. The governor left town
without waiting to declare himself
Definite Program Delayed.
No definite idea or the plan to be
followed could be obtained and II
was thought several weeks might
elapse before the program is decided
upon. Governor Johnson in the
meantime will act as field marshal
and in cooperation with Colonel Roos-
evelt will decide upon the member
ship of committee of seven to guide
the work of organization. Colone
Roosevelt returns to Oyster Bay today
and Governor Johnson will return al
once to California.
Yesterdays meeting was under
the direction of the most prominent
supporters of Roosevelt who had not
! left town. Seated at a table with
| Governor Johnson We're James r
Blaine, Clifford Pinchot, Governor
! Stuggs of Kansas, Medill Mccormick
of Chicago, and Senator Clapp Of
Minnesota.
Bandana Is Party Emblem.
The bandana handkerchief was
adopted as a Roosevelt flag" Mos

danas tied around their arms. Tht

Naval Official Believes Democrats
Will Change Stand on Battle Ship


Naval official Believes Democrats
Will Change stand on Battle Ship
Policy.
Washington Winthrop,
assistant secretary of the navy, ex-
pressed qualification over the change
of sentiment in congress toward the
navy's battleship building program.
Interviews with democratic mem
bers of the senate and house." Mr..
Winthrop said, indicate that the navy
is going to be considered about party
and that the democratic caucus, which
threatened to cripple the fighting eff
ficiency of our navy will not prevail.
Fortunately for the national defense,
public spirited men think twice be-
fore they put it in jeopardy.
81 was greatly Interested in Sena-
tor SwansOn's speech in the senate
The senator from Virginia, who is
a member of the naval committee,
showed clearly the necessity of two
battleships at this session of congress.
1t was clear to me throughout his re-
marks that he had made a thorough
and painstaking study of the question.
Urges Stronger Navy.
Apparent friendliness of nations
cannot be counted on to restrain them
from encroaching on the interests of
other nations when their own inter-
ests point that way. The only sure
way of holding them in restraint is
by possessing the force necessary to
resist their encroachments.
Should a program of one battle
ship a year be adopted the United
States would drop 10 fifth place in
1918 and would retain that position
all other nations rapidly drawing
ahead of it."

NAVY MAY SOON HIT
INVISIBLE WARSHIPS
New Wireless Device Reveals All
Objects Within Ten-NIile
paHinG

Vallejo.-S. Spitz, Mare Island
workman, a student of technical me-
chanics, is now perfecting a device
which, if it fulfills the expectations
Of experts, will have a tendency to
revolutionize naval warfare and re-
duce the perils of ocean travel to a
minimum.
Shows Every Visible Object.
So far as it can be described at this
time, the mechanism consists of a
wireless arrangement that actually
shows every visible object on the sea
within a radius of ten miles of the
ship on which it is placed.
Either in a heavy fog or in the
darkest night, these objects will be
visible to the naked eye on a dialed
mirror, located in the operators room
With this device attached to a mod
ern battleship a gunner can locate a
ship and hit it during the darkest
night or in the thickest fog, and al
the time this vessel may be invisible
to the naked eye or by means of or
dinary mechanical instruments.
Gives Distance From DIAL
The dial is located in one of the
turrets, and not only shows the target
but by means Of the delicate yet high
power wireless attachments gives the
exact distance of the object from the
dial.
Spltz has been assured by naval eX-
perts that the device is practical.

SUB-TREASURY CLERK ON TRIAL
Alleged to Have Stolen $4,000 From
the Government,

Chicago, June 2O.-George w.
Fitzgerald, former teller of the Chi
cago sub-treasury under Indictment
for the alleged theft of $4,000 was
placed on trial today. 1t is expected
that the trial will last two weeks. The
evidence as to the mysterious dis
appearance of the large sum of gov
ernment funds is said to be largely
circumstantial and a hard legal battle
Is expected.
The alleged theft occurred in Feb
ruary, 1907 and Fitzgerald was not
indicted until February of 1910, about
three years later. The indictment
was returned only week prior to the
expiration of the time limit for prose-
cutting the teller. Fitzgerald insists
upon his innocence and apparently is
confident that he will be acquitted.

He wouldn't have got into any ruts.
Also, and chiefly, he would have a DIFF
ferent set of problems to grapple.
Whether we like 1t OF not, we in this
year 1912 have q whole lot of questions
that are In a sense entirely new, ques-
tons of the relations between state
and nation, between this nation and
other nations, between the federal gov-
ernmen and the citizens, between tDs
natural citizen and the artificial cid,
zen whom we call a corporation and
between the corporation and the gov.
eminent. These questions involve
other and more specific questions as to
powers and duties Of courts, legisla-
lures and executives, as to taxes, rs to
administrative details without mum
Der. People are thinking, talking and
writing on these subjects daily and in
enormous volume. just as they were
discussing the rights of man and the
divine right of kings in tlS French rev.
Mutton days, when our constitution was
made, and state rights In the antebel,
lum days which produced Lincoln, SO
now we are all BEN on solving these
more practical economic questions of
this day. And we are going to solve
them. But we are not going to solve
them by ignoring them or by pooh
pooling them or by refusing to look
into them and insisting on looking
backward at the old days and their
problems.
We may choose from the candidates
now before the people a man who has
no conception of these problems, who
refuses to believe they exist. who cher
ishes the notion that by a rigid and
praiseWorthy economy, by a strict, old
fashioned construction OF the duties of
mn executive. by combining himself to
retoing bills he diSapproves or letting
them become law without his sigma
ture and making good, old fashioned,
partisan appointments to office. he will
still the storm, If one is raging, which
he does not believe. Such n one will
lead us nowhere. At the end of four
years conditions will be more acute
than they are today. They will be ripe
for the demagogue, and the dema-
gogue will be ready.
Or we may choose the demagogue
now, and no seed to paint the picture
Of the next four years.
Or we may choose the man who has
shown a keen apprehension of our
present troubles, a mind alert to see
and devise remedies, a courage to try
a thing eve If it is new and also to
reject q thing if it Is bad, but not
merely because 1t is new, a conscience
everlastlngly awake to public duty, a
strong hand and a stout heart unafraid
to oppose a spirit Of lofty idealism to
the hordes of materialism that are the
source and reason of all our ills.
There Is none who answer to this
description save Woodrow Wilson. l
repeat that every conservative Demo
crat should be for him, as every true
progressive, Democrat or Republican,
surely Is.
