ing an hours session Of the four
lawyers in President Taft's cabinet to-
day it became known that the pro-
posed nomination Of Judge William @.
Hook Of Kansas to the supreme court
had been held up and probably would
not be sent to the senate this after
noon as President Taft had intended.
According to Kansans at the white
house today the latest protests against
Judge Hook have grown out Of an
Oklahoma case in which an attempt
was made to secure dining car and
sleeping car privileges for negroes.
The United States court. Judge Hook
concurring, decided that 1t was
optional with the railroad to furnish
these cars for negroes. Representa-

Taft that many negroes in his state

Judge Hook.

ARSENAL WORKERS
MAY COMPROMISE
MEN At ROCK ISLAND MAY GO TO
WORK UNDER PROTEST AWAIT
ING REPORT.

Davenport, Feb, IA movement has
been started among the employees of the
Rock Island arsenal to favor the &C.
ceptance of the Taylor.jo job cards under
protest until the committee OF con-
gress appointed to Investigate the sys'
tenn shall have reported. It is said
that this announcement will follow a
conference between committee ap-
pointed for the purpose and Col. Burr,
the commanding officer this evening.
If the report of the congressional
committee condemns the Taylor sys'
tenn the employees feel that then they
would be justified in refusing to use
the cards. If, however the committee
fails to uphold their contentious and
they have been discharged for cause
they would have considerable difficulty
in getting around the civil service rule
which prevents any one so discharged
from being reemployed at the arsenal.
It is probable that this stand will be
taken by large number Of the EN-.
ployes although some may adhere to
their original determination to strike
if the cards are issued. A large per-
centage of the arsenal workmen are
men who have been in the employ OF the
government for twenty, twenty-five
and thirty years and even longer and
are property owners in the tri-cities.
Employment at the arsenal for years
has been considered the most desirable
in the community and many Of the men
are anxious not to injure their stand
ing.
Labor troubles at the arsenal have
been very infrequent, the last having
occurred about fifteen years ago, when
the machinists had some difficulty with
the commanding officer.
Department to Sustain Officers.
Washington. D. c., Feb. 1.-THE war
department will support Col. Burr in
his ultimatum that employees OF the
Rock Island arsenal who refuse to
work under the proposed time card
system and those who quit, may con-
slider their connection with the govern
ment at an end. The department is
prepared to back the officer in the de-
cision that the mems place will be
filled promptly and that no strike con.
ditions will be tolerated.

FOR ROOSEVELT
Governor Aldrich in State
ment Says Members Of
Party Should Support
ex-President.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. THAT repubN
cans should unite in supporting Theo
dore Roosevelt is the closing state
ment of synopsis Of the presidential
situation given out here today by Gov.
Chester H. Aldrich. Gov Aldrich was
originally a LaFollette man. but his
detection to the Roosevelt side haa
been expected for some time.
Gov. Aldrich asserts that the nominal
ton Of Col. Roosevelt would prevent
the unrest usually associated with
presidential campaign because his
position towards business is known.
He states that in his judgment, public
sentiment is crystallizing in favor OF
Roosevelt.
Gov. Aldrich states there are ma
serious differences between republi.
cans in Nebraska. He asserts that
there will be but two sets Of delebates
voted on at the primaries, one pledged
to Presidnt Taft and the other either
to Senator LaFollette or Col. Roose.
welt. The choice between the last two
will depend, in the Nebraska execu-
tive's opinion. on the results which
can be obtained under their respective
leadership. He said in part:
I'm my judgment the evidence on
every hand from straw votes taken by
the great metropolitan dailies and
from other undoubted and reliable
sources of information shows that the
sentiment is rapidly crystallizing
around our ex-president, Theodors
Roosevelt.
in the last few days. it would seem
that Senator, LaFollette will not be
able, owing to his severe illness and
worn energies, to proceed with his
campaign and to further conduct his
leadership at this critical period 1ot

republican party In this state and ma.

Col. Roosevelt republican whose

acter have done SO much for this
country"

Lincoln, Neb.. Feb. Secretary 8.
F. Corrick Of the LaFollette state
league after reading Gov. Aldrich's
statement in favor Of Roosevelt stated
that the LaFollette campaign would be
vigorously prosecuted in this state and
that it will not stop short of the prim.
aries. He added that the state COM
ference next Monday would endorse La
Toilette and would place in nomination
delegates who would support either
Col. Roosevelt or Senator LaFollette.

INDICTED men IN
TWENTY CITIES
GOVERNMENT AGENTS TOLD ITO
KEEP WATCH OVER DYNA-
MITE SUSPECTS

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 7.-Instruc
tons were sent to government agents
in at least twenty cities today tc
keep watch over the men who have
been charged in thirty-two indictments
with completely with the McNama-as
and Ortie McManigal in the dynamite
conspiracy.
The men indicted who are said to
number between thirty and forty are
now scattered in cities as far distant
Is Boston, New York, New Orleans
Chicago, Salt Lake City, San Francisco
and Seattle, and it Is the plan of the
government to cause their arrest on
one day. It is understood kilograms
from the federal authorities here have
informed the officials in the districts
where the men reside that capiases
have been issued and these with copies
OF the indictments are to be sent as
soon as possible.
Meantime it Is the governments pur
pose to guard against acquainting the
accused men of the fact Of their indict
ment and to watch their movements
until they are taken in custody.
In some instances capiases already
have been sent, according to govern
ment officials, but many Of the indict
ments are so voluminous that it will
require several days to transcribe
them so that copies can be sent with
fho nauers for the arrests The indict
ments some of which cover hundreds
of pages, contain more detailed
charges than are usually written into
true bills.
Many inquiries already have reached
United States District Attorney
Miller's office requesting information
about the indictments. 1t was said
some of these came from men who
wanted to know whether they had
been involved.

DOROTHY ARNOLD
REPORTED FOUND
Father Of Missing Heiress Meets
Train But Does Not See
Daughter.

New York, Feb. 7.-Dorothy Arnold
has not been found. A police report
that the missing girl was on a train
which left Philadelphia at S:14 o'clock
this morning for this city proved to be
incorrect. Francis R. Arnold, the
girls father, and two detectives went
to meet the train but could find nc
trace Of Miss Arnold.
Dorothy Arnold disappeared from
. the home of her father, Francis r
Arnold, wealthy importer, on East
Seventh-ninth street on December H.
1910, and the first public announce
ment that she was missing was made
at headquarters on the night Of Jan.

to the legal representative Of the Arm.
old family, not one word has been re-
ceived from Miss Arnold nor has the
family been able to find single clue
as to what has become of her.
The Arnold family and Deputy Pc.

The conductor notified Mr.. Arnold
that he would telegraph him when he
saw the young woman board the train
again. On the receipt of message
this morning Mr.. Arnold and a detec.
tive went to the station while another
detective went to Manhattan transfer,
in Jersey City. A search Of the train
failed to reveal the missing heiress.
Both Mrs. Arnold, and John S. Keith,
counsel for the family, joined in a
statement that the girl had not been
found and that they had no trace of
her.
