guests OF Clark. young Roosevelt and
his wife were seated in the drawing
room when the burglar alarm IN the
house began to clang.
Clark's guests rushed into the hallway
ard saw smoke issuing from the base
ment, where the fire had started owing
TO defective electric wires.
Clark sent IN a fire alarm to San Ma

peared' from the adjacent town with IRE
apparatus. Young Roosevelt was among
the first Of Clark's guests to help the
volunteers In fighting the fire. In the
excitement he mounted the roof OF the
Clark home, where he was encountered
by one of the firemen.
Not recognizing Roosevelt, the fireman
ordered him OF the roof, saying that It
was a dangerous place for amateurs
Roosevelt obeyed the orders and retired
from the roof. only to lose his way in
an attic chamber that was choked with
smoke. He was almost suffocated when
he was found by Henry Henrioulle. one

A STORY ABOUT A SONG.
One Way of AdvertisInR the Candi-
dacy of Gov. Harmon.


When former Representative Bob
Gordon, who Is the directing force at the
Harmon national headquarters, came
down to his office in the New Ebbitt yes
terday, according to the veracious pub
licity agent Of the Harmon bureau, he
was accosted by a lean and hungry fel-
low whose appearance suggested the
before taking" portraits exploited by
cure-all advertisements
I have within my pocket the words of
song-a song that will thrill an ex-
pectant natiQn-a song that is plethoric
with pathos and sentiment" said the
visitor
Gordon had been up the greater part
OF the night, throwing his vitality into
the Ohio governors campaign, and this
perhaps explained why his usually poetic
temperament failed to respond at once.
I fear" said the Ohio politician, that
We would be liable to utilize an ordinary
song in this contest"
But this is not in the ordinary class"
the visitor promptly interjected.
Gordon unlocked his Officer door and
the lean and hungry poet entered with
him. As they sat down the latter
brought forth the following effusion:
Old Uncle Jud," Of Columbus town,
Allows no dog TO be kicked srUun'.
He does what be can for the peoples good.
And now ays little and lust saws wood.
Gordon hasn't told any one what he
paid for it, but It has a conspicuous place
on one of the walls of his office. A few
minutes following the secret transaction
the poet was soon regaling himself with
the fat Of the land in a neighboring beam
cry.

MRS. GRACE TURNS
TO RELIGIOUS BOOKS
Serious Condition of Her Mother
Causes Change in Prisoners
Demeanor.

Atlanta, March 17.-Disturbed over the
reports Of the serious condition OF her
mother, Mrs. Daisy Ulrich Grace, the
Philadelphia woman held in the Tower
without bail on the charge Of attempting
to murder her husband, has turned her
attention from magazines and problem
books to the Bible. All of to-day when
not in conference with her lawyers, she
was reading the Book of Books and pray
ing for the safe recovery Of Mrs. Ulrich.
The routine OF the day was broken by
a visit from DR.. S. P. Virgins, pastor
Of the First Methodist Church, the call
being requested by Mrs. Grace.
Rev. Mr. Virgins was very much i'm
pressed with Mrs Grace.
"She is a good woman" he said, after
he left the Tower, and it Is hard to be-
lieve that she could be guilty of any
crime"
Believing that Mr.. Grace will Nnger a
number Of days before the end and point
ing out that President Garfield, who was
wounded in the same place, lived for
eighty days, the lawyers OF Mrs. Grace
will tomorrow hold a conference with
Grace's physicians. and II they agree
that the end is several weeks of, an ap-
plication for bonds will be made.

CHEVY CHASE ISSUE
WILL Be SETTLED
Senator Blair Lee Intends to Reach
Happy Medium Between the
Charter and Tax Issue.

After a lengthy conference with a dele
cation Of Chevy Chase citizens, at his
home yesterday. Senator Blair Lee, of
Silver Spring. Nd, assured them that he
would ende6vor TO reach a happy me-
dunn between the two issues which have
been setting the Maryland villa agog
for several months. Guy Camp. Golden
Carter, and Capt. Richard Clayton, who
talked with the State legislator. declared
after the meeting that his promise to
them is eminently fair.
Mr.. Lee said that he intended to play
no favorite'' in the controversy between
the advocates of incorporation and those
who favor the special tax levy introduced
by Delegate ''Cy'' Cummings. This as
surance from the senator that he Is
"astride the fence" is appreciated by
both factions. To a representative OF
The Washington Herald, Mr.. Blair last
night said:
The measure instituting a special tax
levy already has passed the house and
IS now before the senate. This bill is
considered by many citizens as ideal;
but those who favor municipality are
wrought up over the situation. The ques-
tion is altogether to serious for any leg
islator to discuss in an eXtemporaneous
way, and requires deep thought
II intend to go further than I have
and / have studied the situation thor
oughly-and will attempt to reach a
happy medium. All propositions the citi-
zens OF the territory involved choose to
make will be given close attention by
me. / will be most happy to benefit the
community.
while there Is a great deal Of fac
tional feeling there, I am almost certain
that an adjustment can be made that
will satisfactorily arbitrate the griev-
ances of both sides.
Two years ago the voters of Chevy
Chase were granted a referendum on the
charter question and IL was carried by
a decidedly small majority-I believe the
vote was so TO IS. The citizens then were
given an opportunity to draw up their
own articles Of Incorporation, which they
did. However. when the articles were
examined by attorneys they were found
to be so defective that incorporation un-
der them was impossible.
''The citizens of my district will find
that am as anxious as they are to see
them prosper, and II I were fully con-
WINGED that a charter was desired by
them, would try to procure the legis-
lation necessary for such a procedure.
But there can be no partiality. In the
meantime, 1t Is my purpose to seek a
measure that will provide for all Of
them, without displeasing one Of them"

out OF the Southern situation. so far as
personal activity goes. The ex-President

but he will take his own counsel and
stay away. No speech will be made in
the South by him in this pre-convention

first ballot In the Republican national
convention to be held IN Chicago IN June.
This Is the substance OF a statement
made last night by Representative Will
lam b. Mckinley. Of Illinois, director
OF thhe Taft campaign. Dire Nc
Kinley pointed out that 135 delegates
have already been pledged or instructed

ment act, there will be 1,o76 delegates in

TAFT DELEGATES
now NUMBER 1S6
Presidents Managers Claim that
Opposition to Him Has
Now Collapsed.

With LIS delegates to the credit Of the
President q. statement from his organ
ization was issued last night claiming
that the opposition to him had collapsed.
The statement gave the following de-
| tails:
Senator Cummins was able to hold
one district In Iowa, while President
Taft received instructed delegates from
two. Popular primaries were held in
Indiana, and Senator Dixon's strongest
argument was demolished by overwhelm-
ing Taft victories In the Indiana dis
tricts. The week also witnessed the
solidifcation<of the Virginia delegation,
which will go to Chicago to press the
nomination of Mr.. Taft.
"In Missouri. eight counties in the
Fourteenth District have already elected
50 Taft delegates to the district conven-
tion, which will be composed of ia
delegates. Galloway County chose a
solid Taft delegation to the Ninth dis
trict convention. Jasper County has in
dorsed the President for denomination.
In Kansas. where Gov. Stubbs Is
leading the opposition. the State COM
mittee indorsed the President by a vote
Of 45 to II. and similar Endorsements
came from the committees of the First,
Third. and Seventh districts.
Colorado contributed through the
action OF the Denver city committee 81
Of its 422 members supporting the reso-
luton mdorsinE Mr. Taft for renomi-
nation. Pueblo County chose a solid
Taft delegation to the State convention.
The Tennessee State convention,
which renominated Gov. Ben w. Hooper
indorsed the President for denomination.
In the Seventh Kentucky district the
committee, with one dissenting vote. took
similar action. Michigan counties are
steadily falling in line, the Bay and Iron
county delegations to the State conven-
ton being instructed for Taft.
One OF the gratifying developments OF
the week has been the unanimity Of SEN
t!ment advanced by the business men OF
the country. Following the action OF the
Union League Club, OF Philadelphia,
whose membership. by a vote Of Liz to
l3s, indorsed President Taft, business men
of Pittsburg effected Taft organization;
the Union League Club of New York
went on record in opposition TO the third
term movement and business organiza-
tions in other large cities throughout the
country are taking action In line with
this sentiment. Organizations composed

TRUST NOW REPENTANT.
Senator Lea Asks Correspondence
ON REORGANIZATION scheme.

THE Senate has agreed upon a resolu-

Department of Justice for all correspond
ence relating TO the proposed reorganiza-
tion OF the harvester trust. without court
action, in compliance with the tobacco
trust and Standa9d OIL decision by the
United States Supreme Court" said Sem
ator Luke Lea, of Tennessee, last night
Should the press of the country push
a scheme TO pardon the .heartless Allen
gang, Of Virginia, because its members
did not know what the law against mur-
der is and individually and collectively
they are sorry for the crime they have
committed, the nation would be shocked
beyond expression.
Its citizenship would rise en- masse
and demand Just and sufficient punish
ment for the members of the gang.
Apparently there are no such sensa-
tions over the news that the harvester
trust Is to be granted an absolute pardon
for violating the Sherman antitrust law,
and permitted to reorganize under the
abortive tobacco trust and Standard Oil
decisions, upon the plea that II did not
know that law. II gives q sort OF a

SENATOR DIXON
REVIEWS CHALLENGE
Asks Taft Manager to Cooperate in
Securing Presidential Prims-
ries to Choose Nominee.

Senator Dixon has again called d.
rector McKinley's attention to his re-
cent challenge to submit the question Of
the Republican nominee to the Repub-
Iican voters. He says that It is neces-
sary to do so because Of "the outrageous
use of patronage in Kansas" and also
because of the activity Of Mr.. Taft's
supporters in Michigan, Maryland, and
other States in trying to prevent the
passage of Presidential primary laws.
Senator Dixon's letter concludes as fol-
lows {:
'I assure you that would not disturb
you at the game in which you are en-
gagged or arrest your manipulation Of
the political machine you are operating.
for anything short OF the interests OF
the Republican party and above all
Of the public interests as a whole.
But 1 have noted that in a statement
issued from your headquarters in ref
erence to the fraudulent primaries at
indianapolis, you say their results fur
nish the best answer that can be made
to the suggestion that in a popular test
President Taft would not secure the tre-
mendous majority in the Chicago conFen-
tion which 1t is now evident he will
have
Il am delighted to find that you ex-
press such enthusiastic approval of pri-
maries. 1t is under these circumstances
that I again reiterate my proposal that
you act with me to secure as far as pos
sible such primaries In every State IN
the Union. Without your assistance, and
indeed in spite Of the opposition Of your
self and associates, this has been
achieved in Massachusetts,. With your
assistance, II can be more easily ac-
complished In Michigan and in other
States. either by law or through the ac-
ton Of the State committees.
II do not know whether you will spare
moment from the direction of the
game in which you are absorbed, but I
assure you a reply will be appreciated
not only by myself but by the millions
Of Republican voters who have the real
interest Of the party at heart, and the
unquestionable right to say whether they
desire Col Roosevelt or Mr.. Taft as their
candidate in the approaching campaign"
