THE ROOSEVELT NEW PARTY.

A distinguished mark of a new par
ty which is destined TO live and work
great reforms is sincerity in its lead
ership. The cause is everything. In
dividually are but instruments. The
spirit of self sacrifice imbues every
member. Readiness to lay Gown sell
fish considerations and give way to
others who may be better equipped
to carry on the work characterizes all
whose real aim is the establishment Of
the principles proclaimed.
In .he leadership of the Roosevelt
les ra''y this element is lacking. De-
votion there may be among some of
the followers. But it is devotion, not
to the cause, but to the leader. 1t is
personal loyalty to man in whom
ambition is the dominant trait and a
never satisfied love Of power the NOV
ing impulse. 1t is repetition of the
return from Elba--not love for
France, but personal devotion to n
defeated leader. 1t pressages the in
evitable Waterloo Of a cause which ev-
eryone knows would have no existence
were it not for the personality Of a
man whose resentment seeks in this
forlorn hope the qualification denied
to his ambition.
OF tbs personal devotion to Col.
Roosevelt which marks the conduct Of
his immediate followers one should
not speak in terms of derision, howev-
er unwilling or unable TO share in the
sentiment. But 1t is devotion to =

WASHINGTON, July 11.-on be-
half Of Canada Great Britain has serv-
ed notice on the United States that
the Panama Canal administration bill
as it now stands is Objectionable TO
that government. That clash of Sc
rious import will ensue is guardedly
admitted in official circles today.
Congress and the state department
is confronted with an extraordinary
situation and the only masterful di-
plomacy probably can avoid a rupture,
The enactment of the bill will be ask
ed TO be held in allegiance until Mr.
lnnes, the British representative, can
present note on behalf Of his govern
ment. The request for delay has
been communicated TO the senate in
inter ocenaic canals committee. 1t
came from the summer embassay al
Knoo, Me-, late yesterday and was
sent by Mitchell Innes, the charge act
ing for Embassador Bryce, who is in
New Zealand.
There is no doubt that the British
government is concerned Ia the clause
to grant free passage through the ca
nal to American vessels in coast wise
trade and that relating to the passage
Of railroad owned ships.
One of the provisions in the bill
as it now stands would make 1t i'm
possible for Canadian railway ships To
pass through the canal If they engag-
ed in coast wise trade.
Then the question Of free tolls to
certain classes Of American ships in
wolves the old question of the Hay,
Pauncefoote treaty. 1t is believed
that the British government will hold
that ships Of all nations must be on
equal basis.

In view Of the fact that every ma
tional convention SO far has had some
little trouble in which the police had
to act as advisers, 1t is to be presumed
that when the Roosevelt convention
meets in Chicago on the fifth of Aug
ust the police will not be able to han
die the situation. Gov. Deneen will
no doubt, be called upon to send the
state troops to Chicago. 1t is not at
all improbable that President Taft will
finally be called upon to send United
States troops to the scene Of disor-
der. Isn't it true that we are living
in most strenuous age? Along these
lines there will be no opportunity for
the coming generations to equal this
record.

George II. Stewart of the Los An
geles chamber of commerce compared
Los Angeles 60 Chicago in CONNER
cial way. Mr.. Stewart in most
pleasing way explained how he had
lived in various parts of California
and that every one of those sections
had prospered and that 26 years ago
he went to Los Angeles and we were
witnesses of what that city had done
since that time. In his humorous way
he brought forth many rounds of ap-
plause. He said that all along the
way the people had shot firecrackers
at them and that meant that some
thing was in the air and that those
firecrackers were the forerunner Of
the reception given them here. He said
that two men told him all about Tel
luride and that he knew more about
Telluride than any of US. He insist
ed that he had been told something
about everything in The San Juan ex-
cept the most interesting part Of all
and that was the wide awake men
they had found in this country which
meant more to him than any thing
else. He said stay with the game, We
will help you.

SHOE AND GLOVE FASHIONS |
Black and White is the Combination
for Both Articles of Apparel
Just Now.

Entirely aside from this question OF
mourning every one knows that the
combination of black and white Is be-
ing featured this season more tnan
usual. Still it is surprise to most
fashion observers to discover that
even the realm of shoes is beginning
to show this combination.

kid low-cut shoes have white uppers,
but shiny black heels and mere line
of black kid about the top

of soft-finish black and the uppers-
side and back-of white.

replace the pretty crystal buttons In
some instances. Black bows are favor

The black heel will be seen on
some of the white canvas and buck
skin shoes in place of the tan or
white covered heel.
Black stockings may be worn with
white shoes, or white stockings with
black ones.
Gloves show the same inevitable
combination. Some long gloves OF
white kid have narrow diamond
shaped inse of black near the ell
bow, and long black gloves reverse
this order by having insets OF white.

in Combination.

An unusual tailored gown of fine
white French serge has a panel all
the way down the front of cross-tuck-
ed serge. Peeping from under each
tuck is seen the long half of pearl
button, making it look as though the
long row of buttons was but half
pushed through so many buttonholes.
The gown is completed by a big sailor
collar of Irish linen.
A coat" of lace or chiffon is fea-
ture of winter gowns. On one gown
of white net the coat is of geranium-
colored chiffon, open over each hip.
All-over embroidery and filet inser-

lingerie model. This may be bought
separately as blouse to be worn with
lingerie or linen skirt.

rough crash is made up In combina-
ton with chamois taffeta, and is
braided In white. The rough linen
opens at0both sides, not only in the
usual slash toward the foot, but also
in slit at the hip, showing the taffeta
as though it were petticoat. The
girdle and a piping at the GUNS are
also of taffeta, which is a delicate
blue and green changeable tone.

DyNAMITERS ARE ARRESTED
NEARLY ALL INDICTED MEN ARE
IN CUSTODY.
Presiding Officers Of Iron Workers
Included With others-Two
Taken in Kansas City. .

indianapolis, Indiana,-The United
States government within few hours
arrested nearly all of the "a men IN
dicted for alleged completely in dy-
Mantle conspiracy spread broadcast
over the country for six years. by
night nearly all arrests had been
made.
At the head of those arrested was
Frank M. Ryan, president OF the In
ternational Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers. Many oth-
err officers, including Herbert S.
Hockin, second vice-president, and
successor, as the unions secretary,
to ]. ]. Mcnamara, the convicted
dynamiter, were arrested with Ryan
in Indianapolis.
Reports from various parts OF the
country showed also that five or the
seven iron workers executive Doard
members and a half dozen more mem
bers were taken in custody.
The most important move by the
| defendants on their arrest was to pro-
| cure BOND tOr tnelr dppealdhce MAJ"
-. In some instances the bond was
fixed at $4,000, and in the aggregate
the bonds required, it was said, would
exceed 100000.
While possible penalties for viola
ton range from less than 1S months
to two years imprisonment, 1t is
said the punishment may be comula'
tive. so that one defendant, charged
with more than one offense, may face
punishment equal to the accumu'
lated penalties for all his offenses.
Charles w. Miller, United States
district attorney, intimated that the
federal grand jury might be recalled
to resume investigation of the con
spiracy.
Mr.. Miller said, 1--WE have reason
to anticipate new aspects. lnforma
ton is expected to develop at the
trials indicating the completely o.
many more than those indicted now
We do not assert that we already
have all those implicated. This II
only a beginning"

Tendenev In Skirts.

The skirts to suits are frequently
made with a tunic effect, or a side
trimming, says the Dry Goods Econo-
mist. Sometimes both sides are
trimmed, while in others only the left
side. The slashed effect, with simulat-
ed underpettcoat, is also excellent,
and frequently the slashing is made
with an underskirt of self material,
but laid in inverted plaits so as to
give a little more fullness in walking.
While there seems to be a slight ten
dency toward a little more fullness In
the skirts, the general effect is one oil
narrowness, and buyers are still ask
ing for skirts that measure from two
to two and one-hah yards.
