ROOSEVELT GIVES
 TAFT BUT 7STATES
Says Real Fight Will Be Between Himself and
 Governor Wilson

Oyster Bay. N lY.. August 2s.-There are only half dozen states, Colonel Roosevelt said tonight, which he be- lleves President Taft has a chance of carrying. One of these he said, is Yer mont. in which he is to spend the remain- ing half of the week in a speaking tour. The colonel left Oyster Bay tonight for New York 10 take a midnight train for the north. He is to open his Vermont campaign at Bennington tomorrow morn ing and during the day will speak at RJit- land, Middlebury and Burlington.
 Colonel Roosevelt said that in Vermont ton was against him. In such n state, he said, he always estimated that two- thirds of the people must be for him to win an election in the fact of this opposi- ton.
 The President said he expected the representatives of Big Business 70 be against him and that although certain of his leaders believed this hostility might disappear as the position of the progress sive party was understood, he bad seen no signs of such a change.
 lne ColODtl put III iloSl OA ihS hhS preparing his letter to Senator Clapp, which he said was now well on toward completion.
 q hope to show the significance of Mir. Penrose's position in this affair." he said.
 'I shall bring it out in my campaign"
 Comparing the testimony before the Senate committee Investigating campaign expenditures with conditions disclosed in New York by the police inquiry, Colonel Roosevelt declared today that Senator Penrose. on his own testimony. should be expelled from tho United States Senate. The real fight in the coming campaign, Colonel Roose- welt declared, would be between him self and Governor Wilson. He ex- pressed the belief that President Taft's supporters did not expect to elect him. Referring again to his controversy with Senator Penrose, Colonel Roose- welt said he was delighted at the turn taken by the investigation because 1t was furnishing capital campaign sup plies, such as the Lorimer case fur nished In the spring. Colonel Roose- welt said his files of letters bearing upon the whole matter had been re, moved to q safe place and that there was no danger of their being stolen o mislaid.

 noticed in one of our evening papers that our loyal chief of police of Brming- ham has given strict orders to his patrol- men to be very diligent and vigorous in discharging their duty in regard break ing up spooning in public parks, and l also notice where one of his vigilant pa trolmen devoted enough of his valuable time to catch two victims of this henious crime Gdssing) and proceeded to put them under bond and brought them up to police court and exposed and fined thcm for that awful crime (spooning). keeping up so much noise and being a public nuisance to the community. It is consoling to know that we are protected by such watchful, attentive patrolmen. Still the people for blocks and blocks round these railroads in town can be kept from their sleep and rest day and night and lots of times dur ing the day you have to stop in the mid dle of your conversation and wait for those engines to get through shrieking and yelling three and four long blasts at time Complaint after complaint has been sent in to the authorities in regard to this nuisance. still there is no effort made by the police force to stop it. But let some boy and his girl kiss or hold hands in the park and these diligent of ficers will swoop down on them like a duck on June bug, and then lhat brave officer has done his full duty toward breaking up public nulsanee in Birmine- ham, Really the poor little lovers are not bothering anybody but themselves, but the brave cop arrests them and exposes them to the public and let the real nuis- ance to whole community go unnoticed Such is the Birmingham police.

MT. M'K|NLEY RULES
 IN NORTH AMERICA.
Unexplored Part of Alaska Being Rapidly Unfolded
 to Civilization

Washington. August 2s.-Mount Mckin- ley overtops all other peaks on the
 North American continent despite re-
 port of discovery of an unknown noun
 tain of about it's height in Alaska Coast survey experts. moved by the statements of Miss Dora Keen, an in trepid mountain climber. the first to ascend Mount Blackburn, that she saw 150 miles to- the eastward an unknown
 mountain apparently as high as McKin- ley, have sidentifed the peak as Mount Steele. Mount Steele is only 16,4s9 feet high, while Mckinley towers more. than 2c.OOO feet. Mount Steele is a little to the eastward of the International boun- dary in region now being explored by ths international boundary survey par ties.
 All the mountains in the direction indi-
 cated by Miss Keen have been fairly well
 determined by the survey scientists. This part of Alaska is rapidly being unfolded to civilization by the pushing forward of government expeditions who
 are charting the whole country on to the
 Arctic circle. It is a very inaccessible
 section of the Hist meridian. between
 Mount St. Elias and Mount Natazhat.

 Wolter states that he Is going after new records and the indications are that some lively motorcycle events will be pulled off during the progress of the fair. Bobb Stubbs, the local rider, who had such a close call last year and who has given up racing. but not riding for Bob would rather ride motorcycle than eat, says that the coming motorcycle races will be the very best ever wit messed in the city from the fact that the struggle for supremacy among mo- torcyclists is very keen and that he knows of several riders of International reputation who are after Wolter's scalp.
 In this connection it might be stated that Jack DeRosier of Chicago the de mon rider" who took the greater ma jority of the purses offered last year. and who at that time was the aeknowl- edged champion of the world has ridden his last race and lies hopeless cripple in hospital in California, having re- eeived serious injuries in race with Speedy Bake, his long time rival.

JUST A COUSIN O MINE
By CHARLES II. MANDY

Most people will probably remember the story that went the rounds of the press some years ago of man and his son who married a widow and her daughter and the complicated degrees of relationship that resulted therefrom. for instead of following the usual trend of love affairs the father married the daughter and the son the widow.
 boy was later born to the son and his wife, which, of course, added to the complications as it made the
 son his own grandfather or some thing just as remarkable anyway. the old man went insane trying to work out his standing with the infant Yesterday morning at the police court in the trial of a family dis agreement Jerry Grifiths, a "culle1 pusson,' was charged with raising d rough house in his neighborhood, which charge the said Jerry indignantly and vehementlys denied
 In explaining or rather trying to explain his actions he got badly mixed up on the question of relationship. so that not even the skillful questioning of Judge Black could unravel the tan gle and the mystery is stll unfath- omed
 The testimony was that Jerry got on a "toot" and after taking on a few
 slugs of "ginzene" decided that he would go driving witl the wife of his bosom, but not being able to To- cate the said wife decided that some other mans wife would do just as well, so he gallantly invited the wife of sam Savage to accompany him on his drive Sam happened to be present and what Sam said to Jerry wouldn't look well In print and needless to say Sam's wife stayed at home and Jerry raised cain. l Did you invite that mans wife to go driving with you?" asked Judge Black.
