self advised this postponement in
order, az he says. that "the senti-
ment OF the people" may be tested.
There are Others who are "brAsh's
enough to say that his real reason
for delay is "bolt" on the part OF
his financial hackers. II costs mon
ey, much real money. to run a presi-
Dental campaign. It Ia common
IL understood that the ColonePs lit
tie personal campaign up TO this
time has cost not less than million
and a half. And II It costs that
much merely to accept" q nomina-
ton that was to come unsolicited
and unsought" how much more IL II
likely to cost to go out and really
make q fight for electionY To be
sure Colonel Roosevelt himself Is
now a rich man. Henry Allen rig
ured up that his earnings since he
went into the white house had not
been less than a million. But the
Colonels aversion to spending his
own money in a political campaign
ia well known. The general under
standing is that Perkins. Pinchot'
Hanna, Munsey and two or three
others, more or less connected with
the steel and other trusts have
borne the brunt Of the present cam
paign. But would they be willing
to keep on putting up? 1t is one
thing to finance sure, or even
promising winner. II is quite an
other thing, especially for "practi-
cal" men of the Perkins and Hanna
type to finance a sure loser. Also
1t would cost a great deal more to
run an independent campaign, or
new party campaign, than 1t would
to run one for an old and well es-
tablished organization. And so when
the Colonel began to talk about an
independent candidacy or a new
party the chances are that the coldly
Mr.. Perkins asked him
more or less casually where he
thought the money was to come from.
How like dash of cold water in
the face, such a question must have
been to the Colonel, who never
thinks of money so long as some
body else puts 1t up. can be well
imagined. And 1t can be well mag
ined also how It may have changed
the plans for an immediate conven-
tion.
But there will be no other con-
vention-for Theodore Roosevelt
either immediate or remote. The
suggestion of postponing 1t for a
few weeks is merely matter Of
letting down easy, of saving face.
The third term movement has fail
ed, hopelessly failed. Whatever
chance Col. Roosevelt may have had
to be nominated by followers so wild
with enthusiasm as to be unbal-
anced in judgment, has been fooled
away by vacillation and delay. The
Colonel realizes now that not half
of those. who went to Chicago in
structed for him would follow him
into another convention. He knows
that he Is "beaten to a fragile" and
the suggestion of convention to be
held a few weeks later, is merely a
makeshift to enable him to get out
of Chicago with something approach
ing dignity. There will be no other
convention for Theodore Roosevelt

EXEMPTIONS PRORATED
81, 200 Soldier Allowance Cannot. be
Taken from Single Class.

The soldiers tax exemption OF
ST. 200, provided for by the last legIs'
lature. must be taken pro rata from
all classes of the property owned by
him and cannot be deducted entirely
from any one class OF property, &C.
cording to @ ruling made by Special
Counsel Lee Of the state department
of justice. Mr.. Lee further holds that
the pro rata shall be on the basis OF
the percentage which the amount of
the exemption bears to the total val
ue of the property subject to taxa
tlon.
The ruling is best illustrated as
follows:
An honorably discharged soldier
owns $4,000 worth OF monies and cred.
its, $l,700 worth of real estate and
$500 worth of bank stock. Each OF
these classes of properties takes a diff.
ferent rate of taxation. Instead of de.
Quoting the $1,000 from any one class,
the assessor must divide the amount
of exemption by the total value, or
$4,000. This would make 80 per cent
the basis of pro rating the exemption.
Thirty per cent of $4,000 would be
$780,; of $1,700 would be $50, and OF
$500 fould be $50. Adding these three
sums, the assessor gets $1,000. or the
total amount of exemption allowed by
law
The legislature when it changed
the law last winter increasing the to-
tai amount of exemption to be allow
ed honorably discharged soldiers, sail
ors and marines of the civil war, pro.
vided no method of making the ex.
emption. There has been much con-
fusion as result. Mr.. Lee takes the
position that the pro rata scheme is
the only fair and logical method of
making the exemption.

BADLYCUT WITH KNIFE
Forty Two Stitches Necessary to
Close Gaping Wounds.

Staggering along the main thor
Oughfare of the city, with blood flow.
Ing down his body In stream. Hobert
White, rcolored, was taken into Gus.
tody Saturday night at ten o'clock, by
officer Marion Dunwoody. White was
taken to the police station where an
investigation OF his wounds was
made, and the officers found three
large gashes. all Of which were over
four inches In length. White told the
officers that he and a man by the
name OF Fred Tolson, colored, had a
Misunderstanding and were engaged
in a fistlc encounter at the start, but
Tolson endeavored. to settle the dis.
pute with q large Jack knife. The
encounter took place near the NJ. &
St. l.. tracks on. B avenue west.
After White told his story the Of
ficers searched the city for Tolson
and at about eleven thirty he was
arrested by officer Dunwoody and
Constable Ed Henley. He was lodged
in Jail and when searched a large
razor was found on his person.
City Physician Morgan was called
to the police station and dressed the
wounds Of White. One cash which
measured about four inches was found
on the head, another which measured
about five inches, started from the
corner of the mouth and reached to
the neck, and another measuring five
and a half inches was inflicted on
the right leg. In closing the wounds
it was necessary to take forty-two
stitches. The large jack knife which
was undoubtedly used by Tolson was
found near, the scene of trouble Sun
day morning by Officer Dunwoody
After the wounds were dressed White
was removed to his home, where he
is resting easily. Whites clothes
were cut to Shreds. When taken to
the police station he was weak from
the loss of blood. Tolson, who Is
charged with assault to commit muir.
der, will be given a hearing before
Justice Phillips this evening.

Iowa City, Feb. 26.--sRecial: f. D.
Murphy, o prominent merchant, who
was indicted by. the grand jury, charg-
ed with criminally libeling the seven
members of the city council and the
city clerk, George T. Reddick, State
President of the Iowa Order Of Elks,
is still at large. Judge Howell, of the
district court, has asked bond OF
$4,000. Murphy will probably secure
it today. He has not been arrested
yet, but will remain here to await
trial. He is charged with accusing
the council Of graft in building the
new city hall and of charging that
the clerk Is $500 short in his &C!
counts. An expert examiner from the
state auditors Office examined the
city's official books and found them to
be all right. While Murphy signed
his name alone to the bulletin, con-
tanning the alleged libel. it is under,
stood q number of other prominent
citizens, fifty in ALL were back of him.
