IPENROSE ROOSEVELT FEUD MAY

sion Of those yersed in such matters
is that Senator Penrose will certainly
produce the documents TO prove his
assertions. The chance would then
be that the Progressive movement
would suffer considerably by the at
tacks on Col. Roosevelt. 1t might
mean the winning of many votes back
to Mr.. Taft and the Regular organiza-
ton. In any event It can do Mr.. Taft
no harm and may be of the utmost ad-
vantage to him. He is the delighted
bystander witnessing the fight.

the Roosevelt prospects.
Taking advantage of the opportuni-
ty afforded by the Penrose charges
Senator Dixon published a statement
showing the expenses of the Roosevelt
campaign prior to the Chicago conven-

yention campaign did not cost more
than 100000, contrary to reports. Of
this total more than $4,000 was pent

CARTOONIST IS
ON VISIT HERE
Wallace J. Med ugalI on Way
to 0rient-Has Had Spec
tacuIar Career

Wallace J. McDougall, cartoonist,
former well-known sport promoter,
and now globe-trotter, is visiting Ho-
nolulu on what he says is the first
of a series of many trips.
Mac" as he is known to a large
number of friends in the newspaper
and artists circles of California, the
Northwest and New York, arrived
this week, and since then has been
engaged in acclimating himself, a
process that he says he has found
thoroughly to his liking. McDougall
is on his way to the Orient, where he
is going to trek up and down in the
hopes of starting something.
McDougall's home is in Oakland,
and he has worked on several Cali
fornia papers as a cartoonist. Much
of his work was done in New York,
where for some time. he was car
toonist of the New York Globe and
later in charge of the Mcclure Syn
dictate departments. ~. -.
During one stage of his picturesque
career, McDougall branched. into the
sport promotion game. This was up
in the Northwest, and he pulled off.
several noted Marathon races, getting
runners for big events at Seattle.
Tacoma and Spokane. He promoted
the first professional Marathon race
ever held in the Northwest, bringing
together what were at that time the
fastest distance men on the coast in
q race at Seattle three years ago.
Soon after he became associated
with M. Robert Guggenheim, member
of the famous millionaire family and
an enthusiastic patron of sport. Gug-
genheim's ventures into. promotion
of racing was one of the features that
enlivened the NorthWesterners for
several months while the scion of
wealth was a resident of Seattle.
Since that time Mac has been
somewhat less spectacular in his ven
lures, sticking pretty closely to car
looming. A famous suit of clothes, SO
loud they counded like a college yell
and made him known wherever hei
went as "Calliope' McDougall, have
gone into the discard. He is now &C
quiring a close-fitting suit of tan out

Senator Tells Star Bulletin He
Is "0n Firing-Line Till
November"
By C. S. ALBERT

Z WASHINGTON, d. c., August 20
The Litter feud now raging between
Colonel Roosevelt and Senator Pen
rose, of Pennsylvania, may be OF far
reaching benefit to President Taft in
the coming campaign. The turn OF
eyents cannot yet be approximately an
ticipated but many politicians believe
the Regular Republican organization
viii be aided and the Progressiyes in
jured by the controversy.
Fl am on the firing line until Novem-
Der, said Senator Penrose to the Star
Bulletin cores pendent IL am well
supplied with ammunition and expect
TO fire shot daily"
In starting the trouble Mr.. Penrose
declared that 100000 had been con-
tributed TO the Roosevelt campaign
fund of 1904 by the Standard Oil Com
pany, through John d. Archbold. He
said Mr.. Roosevelt not only knew OF
the contribution but was aware that a
request for an additional donation OF
$4,000 had been made by Cornelius
n. Bliss, then treasurer of the Repub-
lfcan National Committee. He said
Roosevelt's letter ordering that the
money he returned was written after
he knew it had all been expended.
The second shot fired by Mr.. Pen
rose declared that George w. Perkins
had underwritten 100000 campaign
fund with which to capture the pri-
1naries and hold bogus conventions in
the Southern States. A portion of the
money, he said was to be used in pur-
chasing Taft negro delegates at $1,000
a head.
AS a third shot John d. Archbold
took the witness stand and substantial
ed all assertions made by Senator
Ptnrose in regard to the funds fur
nfshed by the Standard OIL Company.
In each instance Col Roosevelt
came ont with an enpathic denial,
saying nothing had been received from
tile Standard OH Company and calling
Nj Penrose many varieties Of liar.
All these pleasant exchanges, dec
Grated with much detail. created the
greatest political sensation Of years.

But Just as soon as darkness set in
and the captain began to suspect
that icebergs or other dangerous OBJ
jects were close at hand, 1t would be-
come useful. OF its operation under
such circumstances Sir Hiram says:
1T should be used constantly send
ing out the blasts In every direction.
If the sea were perfectly clear, the
blasts sent out would be recorded at
the very instant of their production,
but no echo would be returned other
than that due to the waves OF the sea,
which would provide a zigzag line Of
small amplitude; but If there should
happen to be an object OF any con-
siderable size at distance no greater
than two or three miles, the zigzag
line on the paper would be changed,
the amplitude OF the waves would be
greater and would be very noticeable.
ITO make sure, the blasts could be
repeated several times: and then, II
the result should be always the same,
1t would indicate the presence OF some
object. and the length of paper be-
tween the primary blast and the echo
would indicate the distance that the
object was from the ship. 1t might
be SO arranged that one inch of paper
represented mile.
THE receiving instruments can be
placed anywhere on the ship where
they can be turned in the same d.
rection that the siren II turned, and
there may be as many of them as
desirable"
Sir Hiram points out that there are
vastly more accidents to ships caused
by running ashore than by collision,
and that coast does not need to pre-
sent a very bold sea front to produce
very strong echo" on his appara-
tus. II ship provided with his ap-
paratus was approaching the coast of
ireland. he says, the echo would be
sufficiently strong to show itself over
q distance Of at least ten miles.

Only Decoration That the British Sol
dIers Value Highly Is the
Victoria Cross"


The fact that there are no fewer
than 10000 medals stored at Wool
wich awaiting claimants causes one
to wonder whether the soldier puts SO
high a value on medals as Is usually
supposed.
Nearly all OF these medals are for
the Boer war, and there is a special
government department with stan
OF clerks endeavoring to trace the
owners. Besides these Boer war
medals. there are 1000 medals for the
Zulu war which have never been
claimed, and even to this day belated
claims are still put in for medals for
the Crimea ard Indian mutiny.
A short time ago. for example, a
veteran named James Crystal applied
for and received a medal for Afghan
istan, after lapse OF thirty years.

Woolwich belong to irregulars. who

they could be received and recorded

Sir Hiram point out that In pro-
viding a ship with sixth sense"
three distinct devices must be COM
bined: one for producing and sending
out the necessary sound waves. one
for receiving the reflected waves and
making them audible by ringing bells
and another apparatus for recording
the amplitude of the waves. Here is
his description OF the apparatus he
has invented:
For producing the vibrations of

1t should be secured to the deck very
firmly. and connected, by means of
three-inch pipe. with a high-pres-
