successful end of the quest which has
continued during eleven years for Al
vim E. Crocker, now 80 years old, was
told today by the old mans son, Oliver
Crocker, nephew of Mrs. Simms of
Berkeley, Cal. A chance remark on the
sick bed led to the family reunion and
the solution of a mystery which years
and vast sums of money spent. on
skilled detectives had failed to unrav-
ell
Four years ago an elderly man came
here and put up with Mrs. John H.
Talley, at No. 307 West Eighth street.
Your name?" Mrs. Talley asked.

Il have forgotten my name"
She learned that he had met with an
accident several years before. When
he came to at a hospital in Philadel

single incident of his previous life. He
had over $4,000 in his possession and
he turned this over to a lawyer. draw

From Philadelphia he went to Will

one night he talked deliriously
He mentioned the name of a Mrs.
Simms, and then his mind wandered
to early scenes in California. Mrs.
Talley was interested She had friends
of her own at Berkeley. She wrote
them describing the old invalid. The
result was the arrival here of Oliver
Crocker and an affecting scene at the
old mans bedside. His memory was re-
stored by the shock of the meeting
with his son. He told a most interest

he left the train at Philadelphia, was
seized by stroke and fell in Market
street, injuring his skull. This caused
the loss of memory. The son told how
the Crocker family had been searching
for him for eleven years and had re-
luctantly abandoned hope, believing
him dead.
The other Crocker lives in Cincin-

Will Not Countenance Divis-
ion of Delegates-at-large
From Ohio, Having Clear
ly Won State.
ENTITLED TO THE
SOLID DELEGATION
And Any Effort to Deprive
Him of Such Would Be
Defrauding People of Ohio
Roosevelt Says.
(National News Association


NEW YORK, May 31.-"No compro-
mise in Ohio" was the ultimatum CIV
en- out today by Theodore Roosevelt
when he heard that an attempt was
being made to divide the delegates-at-
large to be elected by the Ohio Re-
publican convention, between himself
and President Taft. Yesterday Presi-
dent Taft sent "a message to Arthur
Vorys saying that he wanted no COM
promise, and today Col. Roosevelt sent
this message:
To the Hon. Walter F. Brown,
Columbus, Ohio.
Il have just seen a message sent by
President Taft to Mr. Vorys about a
compromise in Ohio. Until 1 saw this
telegram / had never heard the sug-
gestiOn that there should be any COM
promise. and l, of course, assume that
any such suggestion came from the
Taft forces. In the first place I would
not consent to a compromise anyhow,
and In the next place we carried Ohio
by about 10000 on the popular pri-
mary. Any attempt to give Taft sim
gle delegate-at-large would mean a de-
liebrate effort to defraud the people,
and by trick to nullify their express
ed will.
Taft Has No Claim.
"Mr. Taft has in morals and equity
no claims whatever to single dele
gate-at-large in Ohio. and any attempt
to secure SO much as one delegate-at-
large means a deliberate effort to
thwart the will of the people, as ex-
pressed freely by them in the prima-
ries; and we cannot afford for one mo-
ment to consider such an effort to de-
fraud the people in this struggle for
justice and popular rule.
II wish the issue made clear We
stand for the right of the people to
chose their own candidates and to
have the delegates carry out their will,
and any individual who attempts to Sc
cure one delegate-at-large from Ohio
for Mr.. Taft is openly taking the posi-
tion that the convention Is not to rep
resent the will of the people and that
the politicians are to be encouraged to
defy the popular will and to commit
an outrage on justice, and to defraud
the people of their just rights. Any
district delegate to the state conven-
tion from any Of the districts that
went for me in Ohio who himself votes
for single Taft delegate-at-large is
committing an act of treason to the
people and any man who condones
such acts is condoning or approving
treachery.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Col Roosevelt placed Harry s. New,
chairman of the committee on arraign-
ments of the Republican national COM
mittee in the Ananias Club because of
