Phoenix Ariz., Sept. 17.-Across the
sun-baked plains of Arizona. Colonel
Roosevelt was whirled to-day on his
way eastward after his trip through
the Northwest and down the Pacific
coast. In mid afternoon the thermom-
eter registered los degrees.
Colonel Roosevelt had expected to
make one speech in Arizona, that in
gressive committee offered to take him
on a special train to Tucson and bring
him on to Phoenix in time. He con-
scented and the committee kept Its
promise.
| In coming to Arizona Colonel Roose-
welt entered the first Of the democratic
States to which he has carried his fight
for the Progressive party He proms-
ed the people of Arizona that If he
were elected he would call a special
session of Congress Immediately in an
effort to put into effect the human
welfare" planks of the progressive
platform, so far as might be done by
congressional action.
| He appealed to demo rats to stand with
the new party and asked for support on
the strength of what he had done as
president and what the Progressive party
purposed to do for the reclamation Of arid
lands such as are found in this State.
AT Phoenix Colonel Roosevelt was well
coined by Governor Hunt two companies
of the State militia and a brass band. He
spoke in the ball park.

ne said, for 1t was from this State that
part or my regiment came, and I feel
That Arizona has set pace which might
well be followed elsewhere in framing
lts constitution. There are some things
In your constitution which I intend to
try to have put into the New York con-
stitution when there is a constitutional
convention.
II am glad to see the men who are taking
the lead in the progressive fight In Art
IONA. This is a truly national, and not n
sectional party. We have the right to ap-
peal to those who cherish the name of
Lincoln. to those who revere the name Of
General Lee, to join with us in this fight
for the common good"
The colonel referred to President Taft's
| opposition to the provision in the Arizona
constitution for the recall of judges, say
ing that he preferred the recall of judicial
decisions to the recall OF judges.
Colonel Roosevelt said the bosses of
both parties and the supporters Of "spe-
cial privileges We're rallying to the sup
port Of Governor Wilson.
THE Archbolds and the Penroses
| know" he said. that they can do moth
ing with Mr. Taft. that he's dead cock
in the pit, and so they are turning to Mr.
| Wilson"

Gossip Concerning Republican Candi.
date for Governor of New York.

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 17.-Although
President Taft will not attempt to dictate
to the New York State republican con-
vention next week, 1t Is probable that he
will let leaders in the late know that
he would like to see his secretary of
war. Henry l.. Stimson, made temporary
chairman. The President. it was said
tonight, has not finally determined to
push the candidacy of Mr.. Stimson. but
If the New York leaders agree to him as
temporary chairman. the President would
approve. Gossip concerning possible

Beverly tonight brought out most
prominently the name of Nicholas Murray
Butler president of Columbia University
1t is believed here that Mr.. Butler would
be agreeable to the President.

CALF CASE rs STARTED.
Addison County Jury Must Decide
about Theft in RiDtOn,

Middlebury. Sept. 17.-"All about a calf
might be the title of the case Of State
VS.. Frank w. Taylor. Taylor is charged
with stealing a calf. belonging to Mrs
Napoleon Hance of East Middlebury. from
the pasture of Daniel Dragon in Ripton
Suspicion pointed to Taylor as the thief
because he was seen in Rpton on August
is, when the theft was committed and
the testimony to-day brought out the
fact that Daniel Dragon also lost prop
erty at the time, consisting of a yearling
heifer and a flock of q turkeys. Taylor
later sold pelt at J. X. Piper's market
here. which strongly resembled the SKIN
of the missing calf.
Deputy Sheriff Fred f. Rowley spent
all the morning serving summonses for
the panel and 1t was not until 1:3O that
the case was taken up. There are many
witnesses to he heard.

tors four per cent interest on deposits
and four paid three and one-half per

| two have no savings deposits and the
| Interstate Trust company had not de-
clared interest dividends at the time the
report was made. Twenty eight trust
companies paid four per cent. interest
on savings deposits and one paid three

| The ratio OF surplus to deposits is
| practically the same as n year ago, and
should be increased. says Commissioner
| Williams, but 1t is impossible TO make
any appreciable increase In surplus while
deposits ere increasing so rapidly and
banks pay four per cent. interest.
The rate on loans during the last year
has been practically the same as for
the previous year. with the prospect of
remaining about the same, at least dur
ing the balance OF 1912. and the only
way In which the ratio of surplus to de-
posts can be increased is by reduc-
ton OF the rate OF interest paid on de-
posits. the reduction Of the State tax
on deposits, or an increase In the rate
on loans.
