WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 1.-THE
attempted assassination of Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt has added many thou
sands of votes to the number he will
receive November s. Sentiment and
sympathy caused an immediate tide
turning in his direction. The undecid-
ed and those easily Influenced by the
dramatic and spectacular leaped from
the fence and espoused the Bull
Moose cause. t @
Politicians of all factions frankly
admit that the Roosevelt vote has
been enormously increased because of
the attack made upon him in Milwati-
kee.. His friends and managers de-
clare the drift toward him will be
sufficient to achieve his election. This
conclusion is disputed by the. Repub-
tive man really thinks Col. Roosevelt
can be elected, even with the material
aid afforded by the physical assault
upon him.
$ That the effect of the shooting of Col.
Roosevelt is going to increase his vote
enormously is admitted by politicians
of every stripe The. friends of the
colonel are predicting it will result in
his election. His enemies are not de-

his cause the strength of which they
cannot fathom and which it will re-

UNDER FIRE ON
MAHUKA FIGURES

Deputy Tax Assessor A. w. Neely,
who testified yesterday In Federal
court that he valued the Office Supply
Company site at $27, IT'S in December.
1910, on cross examination this morn.
ing by Attorney Olson admitted he
had assessed the same property at
$4,000 in January, 1911, month lat
er than the date selected for his orig
inal figure. He further testified that
on January I of the present year he
had assessed the property at $4,000.
Tax Assessor c. T. Wilder this
morning made an estimate Of the
same site, setting his figure at $32,-
355. j. M. Dowsett today was called
to the witness stand In the Mahuka
site case to give facts concerning the
sale of portions, of the property, and
asserted that in January, 1908 q one
ninth interest had been sold at pub
lie auction for $4,000. He told OF two
later sales of other shares Of the pro-
perty, which he said went for still
higher prices proportionately, due to
the fact the real estate values were
advancing that year.
A. N. Campbell, treasurer OF the
Henry Waterhouse Trust Company,
testified regarding returns on neigh
boring properties, and stated that in
1910, per cent was regarded as an
net return, which was so low
that sales of such properties We're
slow, the only reason that holders or
purchasers were satisfied being that
they figured on profit through the in
crease in values. !.

and pull down the canvas himself.
His ultimatum is that the individuals
responsible for the enormity in the
name of campaign art must get the
painted child of misguided fancy
down as quickly as possible or he,
Kuhio, will start something.
Walter Doyle, the smiling publicity
agent of the Republican organization,
pleads not guilty, but there are those
in the secret who say that Doyle has
been quite proud of the idea and
some have even accused him of paint
ing the, two portraits.
At any rate. it looks as if the sign,
which has become quite an attraction
to tourists in the past week, will have
to come down. In that case, the coun-
ty attorneys Office will have no more

HIGHER LICENSE UP,

At the regular meeting of the city
council tonight, the following i'm
portant matters will be considered:
|. Ordinance requiring that be-
ginning this month, liquor licenses
will be raised at the rate of $50 per
month until a sum of $1,000 per year
is reached in March. 1913. ~
- 2. Ordinance requiring that all
persons operating passenger boats on
the lake shall provide one life pre-
server per person.
3. Report of the joint committee
of the council and Commercial club
on the Nymore road paving project.
4. Opening of bids for paving five
down town blocks.
The license ordinance was intro
duced by Alderman Hannah and has
had two readings, coming before the
council for vote this evening. Sever
al of the councilmen have stated that
they would not vote for the present
ordinance with it's graded increase
but would vote for an ordinance
which raised the rate at once from
the present fee of $500 to $1,000.
In defence Of his measure, Alder
man Hannah states that the measure
introduced is more equitable than
one which would raise the fee at
once in that it does not allow a man
licensed in May for $500 to compete
with one licensed a month or two la-
ter at 1000 but distribute the raise
over ten months. -.
