dore Roosevelt returned from his tour
Of Massachusetts today. arriving at the
Grand Central Station direct from

He went to the Outlook, where he dis

cumulated during his absence and later
went to oyster Bay, where he will re-
ceive returns from the Massachusetts

The colonel was jubilant over his re-
ception in the Bay State but refused to
make any predictions regarding the out
come of today.s primaries.
In a formal statement issued today
Colouel Roosevelt again personally at
tackled President Taft in connection
with the International Harvester Com
panv developments. and in effect accus-
ed the President of not telling the truth
when he said that he was not present

The statement says:

vestcr trust discussed either nth or 21st,

White House Not
Optimistic Over the
Bay State Election

Hardly had President Taft arrived at
the White House this morning after his
day of campaigning in Massachusetts
Yesterday, when Senator Crane of Mas
sachusetts, who has been directing the
Taft fight in the Bay State, drove up
to the main door of the White House
and went into conference with the
Chief Executive in his private study.
Despite the optimistic bulletins issued
by the Taft supporters, both here and
in Boston, anxiety over the outcome Of
the primary in Massachusetts, today.
was evident on all sides at the White
House.
Senator Crane. after his consultation.
predicted success for the President, but
he did not predict very hard. He would
volunteer no definite statement.
Early in the day 1t was learned at the
White House that the weather was
cloudy in Massachusetts,, and 1t was ap-
parent that the Taft situation there Is
very much the same way. Even those
closest to the President who have been
making predictions that today would be
the decisive test for the Republican
candidates to show that Taft will win
the nomination are talking in whispers.
Il is realized that the President is
Stronger In the Bay State than he Is in
any of the Western pivotal States and
If he cannot carry Massachusetts,, which
In past national elections has always
been Republican. his ernomination
seems impossible.
In all but one OF the eight primaries
already held Colonel Roosevelt has
swept the boards and Taft supporters
are fearful that the former President
Will repeat today.
Throughout the day politicians visited
the President in his study at the White
House. He did not come to his offices
and even called off the meeting Of the
Cabinet. Secretary Stimson was an
early caller and he remained in con-
ference for more than an hour,
= He declined to make any prediction
as to the result of today's primary
Shortly after the luncheon rendered the
visiting French delegation OF scientists
at the White House at l o'clock, the
President made ready to depart fol
. Savannah. Ga. where he will be greeted
by the Ancinet Order of Hibernians to-
morrow at centennial celebration
Thursday he will be in Augusta, Ga, tC

Major Archibald Butt, who was los
on the Titanic. He will return Friday
and according to reports about tht

DEMAND "DREYFUS"
Of AMERICAN NAVY
Be RESTORED RANK
Lieut.. Col. G. M. Perkins
Favored for Reinstatement
by Committee.

The House Committee on Naval AZ
fairs ordered a favorable report on the
Howard bill to restore Lieut. Col. c. M.
Perkins, the so-called "Dreyfus of the
American navy" to his rank in the
Marine Corps The report OF the COM
mittee ends so far as 1t is concerned
q controversy which has ragged for
months since Congressman William
Schley Howard of Georgia began efforts
to have Perkins restored to the navy
on the ground that he had been the VIC
tim of a conspiracy.
Several years ago Lieutenant Colonel
Perkins was found to be ''tempera-
mentally unfit" by the "plucking
board" or retirement board of the navy.
He retired, but later asked for rein
statement, which was denied him. Con-
gressman Howard then took up the bat
tie in behalf of the officer, who has
been practicing law in Washington, and
the Committee on Naval Affairs today
sided with the dismissed navy officer
and demands his reinstatement.
The Georgia member made sensa-
tional charges during the hearings to
the effect that higher officials in the
navy had "conspired" to oust Colonel
Perkins in order that more favored
officers might be promoted. Mr..
Howard contended that the Perkins
case was as great a case of injustice al
the Dreyfus case In France.

Testimony Shows That New
Willard Hotel Cost Less
Than $1,5OO,OOO.

Continuing its investigation OF the
District taxation, a subcommittee of
the House. District Committee today
examined c. c. Glover and Z. ]. Stell-
wagen, two large real estate holders
of the Capital. The subcommittee
asked particularly about the original
costs of the Willard and Raleigh Ho-
tels els and 4,th the Riggs Bank .n building
that Pennsylvania avenue is "the
worst improved highway on the face
of the earth"
Concerning hotel property. Mr.. stell.,
wagen told Congressman George that
he did not think II fair to ask ques-
tions about the PROFITS made by the
Willard Hotel, and the question was
Mr.. Glover testified that he paid
$4,000 for the land on which the Riggs
Bank building stands, $50, 900 for the
bare construction. The entire build
ing and fixtures. he testified, amounta
to about $342, 900 in cost.
Mr.. Stellwagen estimated that the

Testifying about the "old buildings,
on historic Pennsylvania avenue, Mr.

1.-The old buildings which line thi.
street are good rent yielders as the,
stand. They are too good to be tori

both sides we're rather pessimistic in
confidential statements. From the
national headquarters of both candi-

insistent demands to spare Sn,h GS,oef; no efi
Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft are known to
regard the situation as very critical.

Massachusetts, turns loose a land
slide such as Illinois and Pennsyl-

Talk of Landslide.
The landslide talk is heard at both
headquarters, and 1t is noted that 1t
ell relates to the possibility of a land
slide one way. There Is no thought
among the Taft organization of land
slide to Taft. Both sides discuss the
possibility of landslide to Roosevelt.
The Taft managers were confident 1t
wouldn't happen; the Roosevelt leaders
looked wise and thought as likely as
not 1t would, and If 1t did. 1t would
finish the whole national contest.
Most of the Massachusetts Congress-
men are here. Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike. Senator Lodge, who has
cut no very distinguished figure in the
fight, Is remaining in Washington, and
the Roosevelt supporters are In many
cases particularly bitter against him.
President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt
both left here last night satisfied witt
their fight. The President especial!
was confident, insisting that there wal
no question but that he would have th'
united support of Massachusetts a

ing he was sure he would win, assured
his supporters that success in the Ba!
State was not absolutely necessary t
his nomination.
