Mr.. Barnes should be chosen to lead the
Taft forces at Chicago in the effort to
override the expressed wish Of the rank
and file OF the party. and to give the
nomination to the candidate whom the
party has explicitly and beyond all ques-
ton repudiated.
MFR. Barnes, in the telegram above
quoted. states that the doctrines which
form of government. The doctrines that
have advocated are, first the right of
the people to rule. and. second their duty
so to rule as to bring about not merely
political. but also social and Industrial
justice. These doctrines are subversive
only of the form of government for which
Mr.. Barnes stands-that is of government
by the bosses for the special interests.
Mr.. Barnes has always been frank He
thoroughly distrusts the people, and saws
so. He disbelieves in democracy. In his
preaching and in his practices he embodies
boss rule in its most offensive form. The
kind OF representative government he be-
lfeves in is that in which the representa-
tive shall represent not the people, but
Mr.. Barnes and the other bosses.
Mr. Tafts nomination at Chicago can
only be brought about by multiplying the
will OF the people. and by fraudulently
and boss-controlled delegates in the place
OF those who have been legally elected
by the people themselves. Among all the
bosses of the United States, among all
the iHcn WHO represent the COIHplndtlOn
of privilege in business and privilege in
politics. there is probably no other man
more eminently fit than Mr.. Barnes to be
intrusted with the carrying out Of such a
program.
Attacks Methods of Taft Forces.
THE program cannot possibly succeed
IL the convention is left to itself Our op-
ponents have shown that they VII stop
at nothing in the effort to subvert the
will of the people duly and deliberately
expressed. From those southern states
where there is no real republican party
they have sent delegations secured by the
most unblushing use of the federal pat
ronage
I'm states Ike New York. where the
machine has deliberately declined to per-
init the people to participate in the nomi-
nation of candidates. Taft delegates have
also been sent. Wherever 1t has been
possible to choose Taft delegates in de-
fiance Of the popular will this has been
done.
lat this moment such an instance is
afforded by Ohio. In Ohio at the recent
primary the majority against Mr. Taft
nomination was 10000. High-minded and
honorable men would. under such cir
cumstances. refuse to accept delegates
jority. but the Reputation of the ma
jority. Yet at this moment the Taft
managers in Ohio are straining every
nerve and using every means to upset the
peoples verdict and give the delegates at
large of Ohio to the man whom Ohio by
an overwhelming ma jority declared ought
not to have them.
But in spite of all these efforts the
convention II left to itself VII be heavily
against Mr.. Taft. His whole chance of
winning depends not upon the vote of the
national convention, but upon his hopes

II have before me a copy Of the fol-
lowing telegram sent to q Roosevelt dele
gate from Pennsylvania, Mr.. Philip K.
Barber:
1.-The national committee has selected
Senator Root Of New York for temporary
chairman Of the convention at Chicago.
1t is reprted that the Roosevelt forces
will oppose the action of the committee. l
am wiring you in behalf Of the New York
delegation, with the exception of very
few, to ask your support for Senator Root
for temporary chairman. We believe this
contest Is the most serious one which has
afflicted the republican party, and that
the attempt to nominate Mr.. Roosevelt
can lead only to disaster. The doctrines
which he has advocated we declared In
our platform at the Rochester convention
to be subversive of our form Of govern
ment Will you please wire me. New
York city collect whether we can rely on
your support for Senator Root for tenn

POISON SQUAD MEMBER
COLLAPSES UNDER TEST
Philadelphia Student in Seri-
Gus Condition for a Time,
But Has Recovered.
COMPANIONS ARE SICK
Every Member of Band Suf-
ferS Nausea as Result of
Caffeine Experiments.

PHILADELPHIA, May 11.--Serous re-
suits have followed the feeding of caf-
feline. drug lurking i'm chocolate as
well as coffee to the eight student MEM
bers of the poison squad" of the Hahne-
mann Medical College here. All have
been subject to severe headaches and
serious attacks of nausea, while one
member of the squad was in such a seri-
Gus condition after taking the caffeine
laden water for the first twenty days
that he had to be placed in a special ward
in the hospital. He received constant
attention, has recovered and at the coll
lege is said to have rejoined the squad.
The poison squad at the Hahnemann
college was formed very quietly. Ii came
into existence on March l and is under
the direct supervision of DIR. Edmund r.
Nesbit, director of the Herring laboratory
of the college.
DR.. Nesbit called for volunteers from
among the students. He said he wanted
men who were willing to do something
for the benefit of humanity at large, even
though 1t might be TO their own discom-
future. Twenty-Five students volunteered.
OF these fourteen of the most perfect
physically were chosen, eleven as regu-
lar members Of the squad and three as
alternates
For thirty days the members OF the
squad were given doses of caffeine while
DIR. Nesbit and his assistants made per-
sonal observations, taking the pulses and
temperature of the members of the squad
and making notes on their general physi-
cal condition. 1t was not until within
the last few days that one member of the
squad weakened under the experiment to
such an extent that il was necessary TO
send him to the hospital. DIR. Nesbt
refuses to reveal the name of the student
who collapsed, but declares that through
proper treatment Immediately he soon
The caffeine was administered in a
solution and was mixed with water the
squad drank The students did not know
when they were getting the caffeine.
There were no stated times for giving
it in order to keep the mind of the stu
dent free from worry I'm order that the
physical condition might not be changed
ma terally through the action OF the
brain.
Before joining the poison squad" each
student had to sign a release against any
action for DAMAGES AGAINST the college.
The laboratory was organized about
fifteen months ago with DR.. Nesbit as
director. and almost Immediately an ex-
haustive study was started to ascertain
the destructive qualities OF caffeine as
used in food stuffs.
The students continued to live at the
dorInitories or at boarding houses, but
they were required to take their meals
at the training table located In the hos
pital near the diet kitchen. Before each
meal the temperature was recorded, the
pulse and respiration were taken and the
blood pressure was tested. During the
period the drug was administered only
DIR. Nesbit knew the amount apportioned
to each man and when and in what guam
THY Ii was administered.

and plans for securing improper action
by the national committee. The national
committee consists of men chosen four
years ago. In theory their functions are
merely to decide honestly and fairly
, election cases affecting the prima facie
rights of delegates to seats and to proffer
for temporary Craftsmanship some man
who will be acceptable to the convention.
Mr.. Barnes telegram quoted above shows
that in reality the purpose of certain
among them is to Illustrate the will OF
the people and TO secure such organiza-
ton OF the convention as will make the
will OF the bosses paramount over the
will Of the people.
Doubts Committee Will Follow.
II do not believe that the national
committee as whole will follow the lead
ter. The success of Mr.. Barnes at Chi
cago. the possibility of his nominating
Mr. Taft. depends upon his ability to
thwart the deliberate Judgment OF the
people, to upset the popular verdict of
the rank and file of the republican party
given at the primaries. and to substitute
| for II the decision of those political bosses
who have stood in the past. and who
| now stand. for the destruction of popular
rights and the cynical abandonment of
good faith and honesty in public life.
| In this contest have stood unequivo-
cally for the right of the people to rule
| themselves. There are many honest men
who have not agreed with me in this con-
| test and who do not believe that the
people are At to rule themselves. But
| surely these men must agree with US
when we come down to question OF
naked right and wrong. such as is in

his associates on behalf of Mr.. Taft to

rank and file Of the republican party have

Issues Involved in Fight.

Col. Roosevelt's Statement.


Following is the statement dictated by
Col. Roosevelt:
I'm the past Mr.. Root has rendered dis
tinguished service as Secretary Of State
and Secretary OF War But in this con-
test Mr.. Root ranged himself against the
men who stand for progressive principles
within the republican party-that is,
against the men who stand for making
the republican party In relation to the
issues Of the present day what 1t was in
the days of Abraham Lincoln. He stands
as the representative of the mon and the
policies of reaction. He is put forward
by the bosses and the representatives OF
special privileges
What has recently come to knowledge
makes 1t clear that it Is a question of the
absolute duty of every progressive re-
publican to oppose the selection as tenn
porary chairman at Chicago of any man
put forward In the interests of the sup
porters of Mr.. Taft in this contest.

stood for progressive principles in the re-
publican party" and says 1t is William
Barnes, jr., of New York who is to be
the real head of the Taft canvass at Chi
cago
The colonel's decision to make square
issue Of the seating of Mr.. Root was

Police Chief Warns Parents
to Watch Their Boys
Sharply.

Poolrooms were denounced as a
source of all evil and the road to
downfall by Chief of Police Austgen
this morning following the confessions
of the Kowalski bandits, who now face
charges that may place them behind
the bars of Jeffersonville reformatory.
TT would be well for parents to
watch their boys from the age of II to
23 years" said Chief Austgen. as some
OF them are on the path to the reform
atory. If parents cannot find them
work, I viii only be too glad to help
secure employment for them, as I have
that idleness makes crooks. AS long
as they loiter around loathsome pool
roooms, they form bad associates and
then go from bad to worse.
Had Chief Austgen his own way, he
would close all poolrooms. as he has
found that nearly every crime has been
born in them and is a meeting place
for youths who go wrong.
