PARIS sOUNDEST SLEEPER.
American Adopts Unusual Method to
Awaken Himself.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS. May 11.-Clifford Cook of San
Francisco is the soundest sleeper in Paris.
So heavy are his slumbers that in order
to wake up at anything like reasonable
hour, he has to send himself telegram
on the evening before reminding himself
he has got to wake up at such an hour
the following day.
This fixes the time in one of his brain
cells. and unconscious cerebration takes
place during the night Otherwise Clifford
would continue to sleep beneath the sun
and dine beneath the moon. And his sleep
ing propensity Is increased by the fact
that he weighs 200 pounds and taxes
much open-air exercise.
The reason why Cook has been taking
such heroic measures to wake early is be-
cause of the arrival of his mother, Mrs.
H. J. Cook of SanFrancisco, to whom he is
very devoted. Mrs. Cook has just complet-
ed a tour of the world, and takes the fore
noon to recount her experiences to Gift
ford He has been so fascinated with
his mothers descriptions Of the cherry
blossoms Of Japan that he has all but de-
cided to shake the dust OF the boulevards
from his feet and go to the noWery king

Roosevelt for Rule or Ruin,
SAYS President in Statement

CINCINNATI. Ohio. May -o.-Presi-
dent Taft last night issued a statement
in which he said:
Thursday last I gave a statement %
the press In which | said that with 80
Taft delegates then elected TO the com
vention, and with the immediate prospect,
OF the election OF enough TO exceed tho
necessary $40. the success OF the cause os
constitutional government seemed as
sured. The delegates elected since THAI
time have confirmed this conclusion.
Mr.. Roosevelt says that he Is the re-
publican party. and that IL the republican
national committee in passing on the cre-
dentials OF delegates for the preliminary
roll in the convention shall hold TO be un-
founded his many fiimsy contests he VIII
decline TO abide the Judgment OF those
ha wing authority. The inference from thiS
is that he will bolt the convention ne
cause a duly constituted republican ma
tionai committee shall. after a judicial
investigation refuse 10 seat his contests
ing delegates. II his edict Is to be Needed,
then the holding of any convention az
all is perfunctory and supernuous
Like Declaration of Louis XIV.
The arrogance of his statement that
he is the republican party and that
failure to comply with his views and
wishes put those doing so in the atti~
tude OF boilers finds no parallel in hiss
tory save in the famous words ot
Louis XIV, The state. i am II.
1T is on a par with his declaratiou
that L typify and embody the pros
gressive sentiment OF the age.
With clearly traceable premedita-
ton he projected contests without tho
slightest. reason therefor. in many
cases weeks after the regular conven-
lions had been held. merely TO make a
basis for a campaign blum and bluster.
Now he threatens that unless this cam
paign thus carried on is to be recog-
nized as successful. and unless hon
estly elected delegates shall be thrown
out i'm sufficient numbers 10 give him
a majority, he will break from the
party and try TO ruin that which he
cannot rule.
"Flouts Decisions in Advance"
Il appeal to all republicans to say
whether a man who assumes this atti-
tude does not forfeit his claim to any
right to become a candidate in a re-
publican convention? Honored with the
nomination to the presidency by that
party. and with the most sacred obli-
cations resting upon him TO be loyal
to its organization, to respect the
rules governing its national conven-
ton, and to recognize the authority or
the committees duly appointed under
its traditional policy, he fiouts In ad-
vance the decision of all these and an
nounces that unless he is TO be nomi-
mated the interest of the party and the
interest of its members are 10 be sac
rificed. and only his selfish ambition is
to be consulted. 1t cannot be that re-
publicans will countenance such a
breach OF party fealty. such treason TO
the party's properly constituted gov
| eminent. and such defiance OF the VIII
of its majority"
