FIRST BROADS|DEI IS FIRED BY MR. TAFT Charges Roosevelt Trying to
 Wreck Party MENTIONS NEW YORK
Deliberate, Reckless and Mendacious" Epithets Applied to Methods Employed by the For
 mer President

Washington April 15.-A statement in part as follows was issued from the na- tional Taft bureau today after visit to the White House of officials of the Pres idents campaign headquarters.
 Former President Theodore Roosevelt. in his campaign for nomination for a third term in the White House, is con ducting an organized propaganda to wreck the republican party No word or deed has. up to this time, been too men, dacious or too mean, either on his own part, or on the part of his under strap pers. to accomplish the recognized end they have in view.
 "Mr. Roosevelt himself has denounced by name the republican leaders in New York state, who now oppose him for a third term, regardless of the fact that he accepted to the full, their support for governor. for vice president. and president of the United States.
 .'The deliberate, reckless and mendaci- ous campaign of Theodore Roosevelt for the wreeking of the republican party is called 10 the attention of the country in order that the issues hereafter may not be misunderstood"
 Colonel Roosevelts Nebraska Kansas trip is to be extended b Arkansas and North Carolina. It was announced today by Senator Dixon at the Roosevelt head quarters here that the western tour will end at Little Rock, Ark, Saturday night, and that Colonel Roosevelt will then re- turn by the southern route, making a speech at Greensboro, N.

Friedheim Last Night

Arthur Fliedheim, who gave piano recital at the Jefferson theatre last night. was greeted by only a small audience and the indictment weather and counter attractions may have accounted for many of the empty seats But it has been demonstrated time and again that only such piansts whose names are house. hold words draw large crowds in Bir- mingham.
 Mr. Fredheim has long been known as an artist of high rank in Europe. He was a pupil of Liszt and last year he had many important orchestral appear anees on Liszt centenary programme. On his American tours this year he has been heralded as the greatest Liszt player living.
 Last nights programme opened with a Beethoven sonata, "Appassionata,' opus 57. MT. Friedheim, did not reveal the virtuosity that was to be expected. All of the younger piano celebrities have fapltless, not to say prodigious technic, but Friedheim. who belongs to the older school, displayed only ordinary technical skill He lacks clearness of phrasing and he played the sonata very much as a musician might read it at sight. And besides lack of finish there was lack of tonal beauty.
 In the Chopin group Friedman seemed to "warm up," so to speak. He was loudly applauded after two or three of the smaller compositions, and for an encore he played Mendessohn's Spring Song"
 The programme closed with a group of six Paganini eaprices arranged by Liszt. Several of these he played with brilliant effect, but many pianists less distinguish ed have done better in the familiar Cam panella' In response to continued ap- plause MT. Friedheim played Liszts sec ond Hungarian rapsody.

New York, April 15.-"If MT. Pierce dees not think enough of s177,0oo to appear in court or send some kind of an affidavit to open the judgment against him. then I don't care either, and he will be com pelled to pay the money So said Jus tice Eerlanger in the supreme court to- day. when counsel for Henry Clay Pierce, the oil magnate, asked the justice to open the case in which Mrs Alice c. Rycruft obtained a judgment for sl77o00 against Pierce on the ground that he had con- yerted securities of hers to that amount
 Justice Erlanger was angered when told that Pierce had not even submitted an affidavit asking that the case be openel.
 "One hundred and seyenty-seyen thou- sand dollars, your honor, is only a flea bite to this man Pierce" said counsel for Mrs. Rycroft.
 "Then he'll have to pay said the court. Why if I had a judgment against me for s177,009 Id turn white overnight. ]"
 Both sides were told to submit affl- daNitS.
