CHICAGO. June 15.--At the
very moment the national COM
mittce was taking the last Of his
Texas delegates away from him.
Theodore Roosevelt, breezed into
Chicago, made his way TO the
Congress hotel, through a howl
ing, cheering mob, and flung de-
fisnce of the bosses from a sec
ond story balcony to a crowd that
numbered nearly 10000.
HIS coming was one OF the most
dramatic incidents of his pictur-
esque career. Little staging had
been done, few preparations Rad
been made. but ten seconds after
the colonel alighted from the
Lake Shore limited at the La
Sale Street station. everybody in
Chicago appeared that he knew
and converging thousands we.e
blocking every street and avenue
within a quarter or mile of the
Coliseum.
In word and in Gountenance the
colonel was for fight. He spoke OF
his opponents as thieves; and said that
they were going TO lose. He fought
with his own powerful arms for way
through the crowd when he got to the
hotel Flushed Of face. with the pers-
piration dripping from his forehead
he ploughed past the Jam that block
ed the door. grimly declaring that
there was but one way TO victory and
that was the route by way Of battle.
His Enemies Depressed.
The colonefs arrival had a depress-
ing effect on his enemies, who suiked

final TRIBUE
TO Maine DEAD
Bones Of Sailors Killed in Explosi-

Buried
P2ESI[ ENT TAFT PRESENT
Official Family Attends Funeral Of
81 Men, in Driving
Rain

washington, March 23.-The
American nation today wrote the
final chapter of the tragedy of the
Maine and paid its full measure OF
tribute TO the heroes who were sac
rificed on the altar of patriotism
fourteen years ago. With wealth
of sentiment the bones OF 67 un-
identified dead, resurrected from the
harbor of Havana, were consigned
by a reverend republic to the sacred
soil of the Arlington National Gene
terry to be mingled with the dust OF
the country's hallowed dead.
President Taft and officials of the
government set aside the day and
paid homage to the dead. Although
the rain began to fan early in the
afternoon, President Taft and his en-
tourage made their way to the cemc-
terry and remained bare-headed in the
downpour, until the last coffin had
been lowered.
The solemnity of the moment OK
pressed itself upon every one before
the service at the grave was. Mass
was held on the south front of the
state war and money building. This
was attended by the President and
official Washington.
Rain began shortly after the
President spoke. 1t started mildly
but shortly became a downpour. AS
a result when the Presidential party
started towards Arlington they
struggled through a sea of mud.
A sharp patter Of hail began to
fall when President Taft, barehead-
ed, walked to the front of the plat
form. He did not try to shield him
self from the storm A great crowd
of citizens hedged in by the military,
heard him in respectful silence.

TAFT FOR RULE
BY BOSSES SAYS
COL. ROOSEVELT
Ex-President Fires Direct Criticism
at Successor in Reviewing Re-
cent Speech

Portland, Me-, March 23.-The
most direct criticism yet leveled at
President Taft by his predecessor in
office was contained in a speech de-
livered here tonight by Col. Rooso-
welt. The Colonel received a cordial
welcome.
Col. Roosevelt repeated the state
ment, which he made in his New
York Speech on Wednesday night,
that President Taft had declared in
favor of a government "by a repre-
sentative part of the people" In its
actual workings, he said, the Presi-
dents idea would be government "of
the people, for the people, by the
bosses
The collapse of the speakers plat
form in the auditorium created some
excitement, although Col, Roosevelt
was uninjured. The platform, which
was elevated about three feet from
the floor was occupied by about
thirty persons. AS Col. Roosevelt as
cended it on entering the hall, it
gave way with crash The middle
portion sank to the floor Col Roose-
welt quickly stepped to the front Of
the part which did not give way and
moved his hand TO the crowd to show
that he was uniniured A chair was
placed on the edge of the platform
and during the remainder of the
evening Col. Roosevelt remained at
the very front of the weakened
stage.
