TOPEKA, Kan, June 27.-Separate
petitions were filed here by the Taft
forces to get the names of eight candi-

Work Will Be Effective.

As soon as all Of the troops in the city
are engaged in killing flies the work will
be most effective, as large numbers of
flies all over the city will be killed stimuli
taneously. and in this way future breed
ing will be headed Off to a large extent.
The Anacostia district so far has had no
entrant in the campaign. Any boy or
girl entering from this district at the be-
ginning Of July will have good chances
Of winning the district prize.
An enemy OF flies writing to The
Star says:
Il would suggest The Star call upon all
househOlders to supply themselves with
fly swatters. They can accomplish more
in one hour than a week with fly paper.
/ myself killed over 500 flies with q swat
ter on my porch one evening after a rain
In less than one hour. l would also sug-
gest that the board Of health or the Dis
trict authorities supply people who can
not AFFORD to buy swatters, through the
police. That is the only way to get rid
Of the flies. DIR. Murray's boys cannot

The Alleged Conspiracy.

Controller Prendergast said in a state
ment that he had pointed out to Col.
Roosevelt that the overshadowing issue
was whether the nomination for the
presidency can be stolen and the people
given an opportunity to pass judgment
on the theft
'The object for which this fraud was
perpetrated." he said, was the defeat Of
Mr.. Roosevelt. This conspiracy will be
successful if any other man is elected to
the presidency. The object of every hon
est man should therefore be to elect him.
Should either Mr.. Taft or a democrat
be elected the success of the conspiracy
will be complete. If the presidency, or
a nomination for it, can be stolen and
curity can there be for property or or

the scouts entering the campaign, it is ex-
pected. will put forth active efforts to be
among the winners Of the prizes in the
districts in which but little competition
has been developed to date.
Commissioner e. s. Martin Of the Boy
Scouts announced this morning that at
the next meeting of each troop the scout
masters will fully explain to the boys the
rules Of The Stars anti-fy campaign. Mr.
Martin said that he expected many OF
paign for July. The boys are now dis
cussing the campaign, but for the last
few days have been so busy selling tags
that they have not had time to enter
Good Chance for Prizes.
Troop 25 of the scouts will meet tomor-
row night at o'clock at its headquar-
ters, 1927 11th street northwest. and will
be urged to enter the campaign imme-
diately. AS this troop is in the second
district, where little competition will be
encountered, the boys have an excellent
chance to win the district prize. It is
probable that this troop will take up the
challenge Of the Industrial Home School
Anti-Fly Club, and be strong contender
for one Of the five general prizes.
The scouts have one great advantage
over clubs in that they are we'll organ
lied and are in position to take up any
campaign In q systematic manner. many
OF the boys seem to prefer the use Of the
swatter, but it has been found that the
most effective method of killing the flies
by wholesale is by combining the use of
swatters and traps.
The scouts will be quickly supplied with
swatters free Of charge by DR.. Murray,
in room 8, District building. The prizes
won by the scouts will be used in paying
the expenses of members at the boys
camp, which opens July l. The boys will
decide among themselves as to who will
go to the camp.

Roosevelt's Issue.

The issue upon which Col. Roosevelt is
to make his campaign for the presidency
was indicated by him yesterday after
noon. He purposes to base his appeal
upon the assertion that what he has
termed the 'big sinister influences have
determined to eliminate him from public
life because he is the one man whom they
really fear. To accomplish this purpose
he believes they are willing to take up
any man whom they think can win the
presidency over him. Having defeated
him at the Chicago convention. he says,
they hope to control the democratic con-
vention to this same end.

Pecuniary Assistance Offered.

Offers Of assistance in the formation OF
the new progressive party are reaching
Col. Roosevelt by mail and telegraph he
said, at such rate that he will be un-
able to acknowledge most of them for
some time. When he reached home from
Chicago he found hundreds of kilograms
awaiting him. and they have continued
to come in. Many of the letters con-
tanned money to be used in the work of
organization. One man whose name was
not disclosed, sent his check for S1.50U;
but most of the donations We're of small
amounts from persons who wrote that
they were giving all they could.
Col. Roosevelt said that he had a mid
ding amount" of work ahead of him and
that he hoped to have a few weeks Of
comparative rest now.
Meanwhile the colonel will keep in close
touch with the Baltimore convention, the
outcome of which is regarded as of great
Importance to the new party.

OYSTER BAY, y. Y, June 21.-Col.
Roosevelt declares that he is in the fight

and / am going to fight it out to the

The former President made this remark
after long conference with William A.
Prendergast. controller of the city of
New York. Mr.. Prendergast came to
Oyster Bay to induce Col Roosevelt to
say definitely that under no circum-
stances would he withdraw from the
fight.
Has any suggestion been made" was
asked OF Mr.. Prendergast, that any man
other than Col. Roosevelt should lead the
fight for the new party?"
"I will answer that question for Mr..
Prendergast'' said the colonel. "In the
statement which / made in Chicago on
Monday I said that I would stay in the
fight to the end. Since then I have re-
ceived hundreds of letters and kilograms
urging me to go on with it, and not one
of them suggested that ] get out OF it.

Efforts to Sidetrack Him.

The controller said the reason he was
anxious to make it clear that Col. Roose-
welt would make the fight was tha< the
Interests which defeated him at Chi
cago would do anything in their power
to keep him out of the White House, and
for that purpose would gladly accept
any other progressive.
In Chicago. he continued. some of the
Taft leaders asked him to go to Col
Roosevelt with the offer to give the nomi-
nation to Gov. Hadley or any other man
the colonel might name They had even
offered. he said, to put the Roosevelt
delegates from Texas and Washington
back on the list If he would consent to
this.
Col. Roosevelt corroborated this state
ment, and added that the same interests
were hard at work at the Baltimore con-
vention. and were willing to take up any
of the democratic progressives il they
thought they could thus defeat him.

Hearing of Ants.

Naturalists generally appear to have
accepted the opinion that ants are not
able to perceive any sounds that are
audible to human ears, but there are
those who controvert this opinion.
One investigator conducted careful ex-
periments with four species of Ameri-
can ants, from which he deduced the
conclusion that these species, at least,
were able to perceive sounds, but
whether they did 1t by means Of or
gans of hearing, or through the sense
of touch being excited by atmospheric
vibrations, he was unable to ascertain.
This exrerimenter inclines to the opin-
ion that ants do really hear, as some
individuals showed a perception Of the
direction of the sound, such as that of
a shrill whistle, and others, which
were not disturbed and violently
shaken in their glass prisons seemed
greatly to be perturbed by shrill
sounds.-Harper's Weekly.

works in pen by the old monks. She
usually has had with her a connois-

all those things she has paid highly

Why Mars is Uninhabited.

AS the Martian year is composed of
CSC days, each pole Is exposed to the
suns radiations during a period of
more than eleven months, so that the
snow deposited during one winter is
almost wholly melted before the fol-
lowing winter, says writer in Har-
per's Weekly. A pocket barometer in
Mars would register a pressure Of a
little over ten centimeters. This as
mospheric pressure is SO slight that
the human organism, habituated to the
bottom Of the aerial ocean, where it
supports total pressure of $4,000
pounds, would be unable to survive.
No human being could live; no nam
NAL, no bird Of the organic structure
of the earthly animal, could resist
such slight pressure. Water could not
remain liquid.
