Washington, March 2G.--Colonel
Rooseyelt's trip to the Middle West
next week promises TO develop into a
more comprehensive speaking tour
than either he or his managers con-
templated.
Since the announcement was made
that he would speak in Chicago, st.
Paul or Minneapolis, and St Louis.
the national Roosevelt headquarters
have received scores of kilograms
from outlying portions of the Middle
West, asking to be put on the sched.
ule OF the tour.
Senator Joseph NJ Dixon is at work
upon an itinerary for Colonel Roose-
welt. The wishes of the latter prob.
ably will determine the points where
speeches are to be made, but the cam
paign managers in Washington say he
may have to make Isany short
speeches at stations along the way and
additional speeches in the cities where
his main addresses are to be delivered.

Chicago, March 20.-Reports were
published here that President Taft
had summoned John Mitchell, formf
of America, to Washington for a con.

coal fields.
The president, the report says, is
alarmed over the political possibilities
of general coal strike and may bring
all the pressure of the government to
bear for an immediate settlement of
the controversy.

Berlin, March 20-Emperor William
has most Unexpectedly postponed his
departure for Vienna, Venice and Cor

The reason officially assigned for the
postponement is difficulties in the
sphere of internal politics"
This explanation is SO indefinite that
1t may refer either to the coal strike,

There Is a strong disposition here,
however to connect the emperor's ac-
tion with the speech delivered by
Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord
of the admiralty in the British house
of commons. The view is strength
ened by the fact that the emperor in
the course of the morning paid long
visit to Admiral Albert Won Tirpitz,
secretary of the imperial navy. imme-

Churchill Is Criticised.

Public opinion of the speech of Win
ston Spencer Churchill has not yet
crystalized, but his references to Ger
many are regarded In many quarters
as highly inopportune in view of the
attempts being made to reach an un-
derstanding between the two coun-
tries
The negotiations which followed the
trip to Berlin of Viscount Haldane,
British secretary of state for war, are
being continued, but any big hopes
of their success, which may have been
entertained, are gradually falling. The
negotiators would now be satisfied in
all probability II they could achieve
no more than a simple removal of the
sources of misunderstanding which
have hitherto existed.
The bourse was weak, operators re-
garding Mr.. Churchill's speech as to
a certain extent unfriendly to Ger
many, and the postponement of the
Corfu visit of the emperor giving birth
to many rumors in regard to the in
ternal and foreign situation. Govern

KANSAS Is ALL RIGHT.
Two thirds of the DsIes alton Foe Vii

Two thirds of the DsIes alton For Will
That the news Of the political situa-
ton in Kansas as between Wilson and
Clark was maliciously garbled by the
newspaper organs of big business
and the old political machine is PROV
ed by facts which have come to light
since the Kansas state convention.
That the Kansas delegation stands
fourteen for Wilson and six for Clark
is asserted by the Wilson bureau at
Washington. The claim Is made that
Wilson carried six of the congressional
districts, yielding twelve district dele
gates, while Clark carried two districts
with four delegates and that of the
four delegates at large Wilson got two.
This makes the total Wilson delegates
fourteen, being two-thirds of the TWEEN
ty members of the delegation.
The Kansas City Star supports the
contention that Wilson has fourteen
Lof the twenty delegates and says that
perhaps he has fifteen.
The publicity of the facts was the
OF much surprise, because the
impression had been created that Clark
had carried a majority of the delega-
ton.
The Wilson bureau at Washington
believes that the publication Of the
facts will set at rest all questions of
the character OF the Kansas delega-
ton.
The previous printing of apparently
statements regarding the
complexion of the Kansas delegation
had deceived even the Wilson mana
gers, and they themselves shared the
surprise oyer the reception of news
that showed hat WilsCh had captured
the necessary two-thirds of the dele
gates.
One of the delegates at large elected
was the Wilson manager Of the Kan
sas campaign.

"While the public hesitates to be-
lieve the indisputable evidence of fraud
and corruption furnished by gang per
~formances in New York and Indiana,
and in the purchase of delegates with
federal patronage in the southern
states, the representatives of special
privilege are fighting with the full
consciousness that if the public should
awaken to its own interest, special priv
ilege and gang control of politics
would be speedily ended.
1.-THE only safety special privilege
can feel is because the public is hard
to awaken, and hesitates to believe that
great political and representatives of

SCHOOL BOARD
is DISCUSSED
w, H. Bawden Says 1t Is
Time for Action.

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
May | address an open letter to the
interested citizens of our city through
your columns2
The Board of Education has not yet
given any sign of affording any relief
in the intOlerable situation caused by
their action in changing the high
school schedule of hours. They have
not yet made public their reasons for
making so radical n change. The rea-
sons submitted privately to me by in
dividual members of the board are far
from convincing. Time has been asked
for, that the new schedule may have a
fair trial. During the past two weeks
some of the students have rushed home,
gulped down what dinner they could,
and rushed back again within the
twenty minutes; some have remained
in the building and have eaten what
lunch they could in that short time;
others have gone down to Smith street
and filed up on ice cream sodas and
sundaes; while still Others have gone
without anything at all to eat until
1870. 1t is sufficient time for me to
be entirely convinced that we are tenn
porizing with q mighty poor policy.
In the EVENING NEWS of March
81 a definite petition was proposed, as
follows:
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED CITI-
.ZENS OF PERTH AMBOY, SUBMIT
no OUR BOARD OF EDUCATION
THAT IN OUR PRESENT KNOWL-
EDGE WE DO NOT BELIEVE THE

I'm OUR HIGH SCHOOL TO BE CON
IDUCIVE TO THE WELFARE OF

RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE
BOARD TO RESTORE A MUCH
LONGER NOON PERIOD, UNTIL
SUCH A TIME AS THEY MAY BE
CONVINCED, BY ANY MEANS
THEY MAY CHOOSE TO EMPLOY,
THAT THE SINGLE, LONG SESSION
MEETS WITH THE APPROVAL OF
THE CITIZENS GENERALLY.
While a large number have indicated
to me, both directly and indirectly,
that they believe my contention to be
right, they have not distinctly assent
ed to the foregoing petition. The
board meets Thursday evening of this
week, when the petition should be pre-
scented. All those who assent to the
petition as given, and are willing to
sign such q petition, whether having
children in the high school or not, are
requested to communicate with the un
dersigned at once to that end, either
by letter, postal card or telephone.

BATTLES WITH
BIG BULL DOG
Warden Leonard Has His
Coat Torn TO ShredS.

Dog Warden Albert Leonard had
his clothes badly torn and expert,
enced a narrow escape from being
hurt in a battle with a bull dog at
State and Smith streets yesterday.
As he grabbed the canine with gloved
hands in an effort to place it in the
wagon, the animal turned and
sprang at him. One side of his coat
was torn TO shreds and his hands
were bitten, but not in such a way
as to injure him, because he wore
gloves.
A crowd assembled as the canine
snatcher grappled with the fighting
brute. No one had time to offer as
sistance, for as the animal was BIT
ing fercely Leonard grabbed it in
the back and hurled it against the
door of his Gagged wagon. The ami
NAL literally flew into the cage and
was left there a growing and snarl-
ing beast as the door closed.
Leonard said he was not injured
by the dogs teeth, but is minus a
coat and has a pair of torn gloves
and trousers.

ELK BACKS THE
WILSON CAUSE
Hackensack Man Tells Baiti-
more Newspaper Few Facts.

Baltimore, Md. A young man OF
very distinguished looks and fine bear
ing is Colonel Alfred II. Holley of
H~ackensack, N. j., who was at the
B~elvedere recently. He is a success
full business man, a potent factor in
the Democratic councils of Jersey and
is a personal friend and otherwise
supporter of Governor Woodrow Will
son.
Colonel Holley is likewise one of the
most prominent Elks of the country
and came to Baltimore in his capacity
Of grand trustee of that order to help
make an investigation of local eondi-
tions with a view to the temporary es-
adjustment Of the national Elks'
home in this city OF vicinity.
Il believe" said Colonel Holley,
that Governor Wilson Is going to be
the nominee of the Baltimore conven-
ton and am equally certain of his
election to the presidency. He is as
strong today as he ever was in New
Jersey, and the talk that he will not
have the delegation from his own state
Is rank nonsense. Every move he has
made since assuming his present Of
fee has assured his friends and a
great army of independent voters that
he was worthy of their support, and
they are bent on continuing that sup
port.
Woodrow Wilson, it seems to me,
is as neal the ideal statesman as our
nation has produced. He is sanely
progressive and is manfully fighting
for the restoration Of the government
to the people, though battling against
such political clap trap as the recall
of judges and that other monstroslty,
the recall Of judicial decisions. He
has kept the faith, a somewhat I'M
usual thing to look for in the present
day politician. His opponents claim
that he is unfit for the high Office Of
president and refer to him in a sheer
ing way as a teacher.
Eyes, he Is q teacher who Is clearly
pointing out to every patriotic citizen
the evil of the blind folio wing Of party
leaders, however eminent they may
have been or may be now. There is
no use for me to elaborate on the sub
ject. The Americans know the mar
asszd SNn&sha stands for, apds because
he has squared his every promise by
performance they are going to give
him the supreme reward of presiding
over the d~estinies of the republic."-

From every state the same story comes.
The expenditures to date, it is declared,
