President Taft is reported to have made
this statement to White House callers to-
day. and to have added that he had no
objection to the statement being made
public
1t undoubtedly was intended to set at
rest all reports that Mr. Taft might with
draw from the race for the republican
nomination for President in favor of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt.
The President is said TO be thoroughly
aroused to the gravity Of the situation in
the republican party and determined to
let his attitude be generally understood
stances will he withdraw his name from
consideration by the Chicago convention
next June, and has asserted that his posi-
ton with respect to the nomination has
not changed in any particular since he
first entered the White House.
Mr.. Taft has told friends and party
leaders from the first that il he should
be called upon to stand for reelection
he would be glad to do SO; that he felt
under obligations to the party for hav-
ing made him President and was will
ing to abide its decision In the con-
vention. He adheres to this position
according to announcement today. and
will not quit the race until the nomi-
mating ballots are cast at Chicago.
Signal for Active Campaign.
The President was urged by q num-
ber Of his closest friends to make a
definite statement as to his position.
agreed to do SO, and did SO in the
language quoted above. With this
statement as their inspiration, 1t is
said. the Taft supporters will begin an
active campaign in his behalf at once
1t was stated today that some Of Mr.
Tafts friends have gone so far lately
as to advise him to openly break with
Col. Roosevelt and to challenge the
latter to make plain his intentions.
The President has declined to do this
The White House has been fairly flood
ed with callers lately who have
brought word to President Taft that
Col. Roosevelt SO far has declined to
say that he would not accept the
nomination If it were rendered to him.
1t also has been reported to the
White House that Col. Roosevelt be
Heves an organized effort is being
made to smoke him out" and that
he declines to be smoked" by either
the Taft or La Toilette forces.
The President has listened to all OF
these reports with an indulgent smile
but has refused to indicate whether or
not he believes them. 1t is vehemently
denied at the White House, however
that Mr.. Taft has sent any 'messen-
gers" to Mr.. Roosevelt ION any subject
whatsoever"
The President has been urged for
weeks to make more progressive cam
paign i'm his own behalf. He has re-
piled that he did not think political
activity comported with presidential
dignity. He now has consented that
his friends shall carry forward the
fight as vigorously as they desire. and
he will lend what assistance he prop
erly can.

Unions Not Helping, Says Lawler.

mo union labor leaders, not even
Samuel Gompers. head of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, have lifted
a hand to help us in cleaning up the
big dynamite conspiracy either before
or after the Mcnamara confessions AT

cial government prosecutor for the dis
trict Of southern California. He and
John D. Fredericks, prosecuting attor-
ney Of Los Angeles. conferred with
Charles W. Miller, United States at
torney, before the federal grand jury
Of this district today resumed its In
quiry into the alleged countrywide
dynamiting plot.
Mr.. Lawler asserted that though union
labor leaders were quick to denounce
the McNamaras after their confession
and many of them We're quoted as say
ing that every effort should be made to
prosecute all guilty persons to the full
ed to get from the McNamaras any de-
tails Of the alleged conspiracy In which
they figured.
No Confession Needed.
Asked concerning the supposed confes-
sion of E. A. Clancy. the coast labor
leader, jointly indicted last week with
other labor men by the federal grand
jury at Los Angeles, Mr.. Lawler replied
that no statement on the question had
been made by his office, nor would be.
But was there a confession?' he was
asked.

May Argue Over Personnel.

When the public utility measure is
taken up there is likely to he some
discussion as to the personnel of the
public utilities commission The Gal
linger bill provides that the powers Of
the commission shall be imposed on the
District Commissioners. but there has
been talk that separate commission
should he established.
Senator Gallinger has taken the posi-
ton that the District of Columbia is
too small "a jurisdiction to Justify a
separate and highly paid commission
and that the Commissioners are the
proper authorities to take up the work.
Their duties have especially fitted them,
he believes, for knowing the needs of til @
residents Of the National Capital, ard
for reaching fair arrangements between
them and the public utility companies.

dition that he cannot speak even to his

PLANTATION for the bank. many things
which are now puzzling the people of the
city may remain unsolved including
forged and otherwise bad paper to the
amount of 100000. which was found by
Examiner Johnson.
The general sentiment about the city
is that the cashier is not to blame for the
vestigation now going on would shed a
great deal Of light on the matter.
Bank Examiner Silent.
Thus far S. E. Johnson. the United
States examiner. will not make any state
ments, and as the bank officials do not
yet know how deeply involved the con-
Germ has become, nothing Of a definite
nature can be ascertained. DIR. w. o.

only one Of the officials who comes to
the banks offices at all, and he is there

been affected, although extensive prep
arations were made by both to handle
runs.
May Close City Hospital.
1t is thought likely that the city hospi-
tai, the funds of which were all in the
