Commander in-Chief.
CONTRARY REPORT ABSURD
Declines to Disclose Subjects Dis
cussed at Conference.
MERELY MEETING OF LEADERS
Colonel Questions Claims Made by
Taft Managers-His Future
Campaign Plans.

OYSTER BAY. \. Y. March 16-Back
political lieutenants Col Roosevelt re-
tired to Sycamore Hill, saying he hoped
he would not have to talk politics before
Tuesday, when he goes to New York
again. He probably will remain in the
city most of next week. The colonel was
still determined not to reveal the results
of the conference of last night. He was
told that the impression had gone out
that the meeting was of unusual i'm
portance and was urged to outline the
subjects which were brought up.
We just wanted to get the leaders
working together he said. One Of the
main things considered, he continued,
was the speeches he was to make, but
no decision had been reached as to the
number of speeches or where they will be
delivered.
Col. Roosevelt made it plain that Sena-
tor Dixon is commander-in-chief of the
Roosevelt forces.
Classed as Absurd.
The colonel was told of a report heard
in New York after the conference that
the senator was to be superseded. The
name of Ormsby McHarg. who has been
working the south for Roosevelt, was
mentioned as Senator Dixon's possible
successor.
That is perfectly absurd" he said.
"One of the main reasons why Senator
Dixon came on from Washington last
night was to discuss the whole campaign
situation. The senator wanted to meet
the leaders, particularly those from New
York and Chicago. He is to be in COM
ahor Vnrl
will be substations, and Washington will
be the exchange. Senator Dixon will be
In authority. and his word will be alb
solute."
McHarg's work would be. 1t was an
nounced earlier in the day that he was
to go to Washington as Senator Dixon's S
chief assistant.
Il haven't seen Mr.. McHarg," Col.
Roosevelt said Mr. McHarg worked
for William L. Ward-I think it was
Mr.. Ward. That has been my under
standing, although l don't known any,
thing directly about Mr.. McHarg."
Disputes Claims of Opponents.
Although Col. Roosevelt would make
no predictions as to the outcome of the
republican national convention he said
he was certain his opponents were claim
ing delegates they would not get.
Before he left New York Col. Roose-
welt talked with Senator Dixon, Alex
ander Revell of Chicago, chairman of
the Roosevelt national committee;
Charles H. Duell. president of the New
York city committee, and Walter Brown,
chairman Of the Ohio republican state
central committee. Each caller was en-
thusiastic about the progress of the
Roosevelt movement, but all were silent
when asked what developed at last
nights conference.
Gov Glasscock of West Virginia said
said he was confident that all of the
sixteen delegates from his state would
be for Roosevelt.
Tonight Col. Roosevelt said his only
Roosevelt.

Nav Not Find Places.

While the strike in Lawrence is pract-
cally ended, it is feared that many OF
those who go back to work Monday may
not be able to find places. because OF
the fact that new operatives were found
to take the places of the strikers and
these will not be displaced to give jobs
to those who Quit work. 1t will take a
week or more, it Is believed in Lawrence,
to straighten out the situation there. 1t
was announced today that gradual re-
duction of the extra police force on duty
would be begun Monday.

Claims for Roosevelt
Mr. Bass statement follows:
Were Mr.. Roosevelt here to clear
away the Misrepresentation and COM
plications that now honeycomb the state
he would sweep North Dakota from end
to end. because OF the underlying anec-
ton and loyalty and belief in the man.
As it is the candidacy of Theodore
Roosevelt has to contend with the mis-
representation which the IA Follete lead
ers have deliberately spread concerning
Mr.. Roosevelts honesty and sincerity

appeal of Mr.. Bryan, Is going into the

lette, and with the presence OF La Fol-
lette in the state conducting his usual de-
structive campaign in belittlement of the
record of Mr.. Roosevelt and with the
bitter state fight between the progressives
and the stalwarts, which has nothing to
do with the national situation, but is de-
liberately being used to befOS the re-
publican voters. In spite of these draw.
backs Roosevelt will be the choice OF
the people. and whatever delegates are
elected will go to the national convention

brought out by the testimony.

TEN Of CREW DROWN
IN WRECK OF VESSEL
American Fishing Schooner
Goes on the Rocks Off
Jordan Bay.

SHBLBURNE. N. S.. March l6.-Ten men
ing schooner Patrician was wrecked on
Hull rock, two miles off Jordan bay,
Shelburne, last night. They were Capt.
William H. Arding and nine members of
the crew of the Patrician. Their fate was
told by the ten survivors Of the schooner
when. early today, they reached shore at
Jordan bay.
The Patrician arrived at Shelburne on
Thursday. Early yesterday she sailed
to continue fishing. Toward evening the
storm of wind and rain that had been
twenty three miles off the coast, Capt.
Harding determined to run back to Shell
burne for shelter.
He was only running to his fate. The
southwesterly storm had become fierce
when the schooner approached the coast
and in the darkness and thick weather
Capt. Harding made a mistake in his
bearings. When he discovered the error
1t was too late, and. the schooner crashed
on the black ledges half a mile from
Dull Rock and near Jordan bay.
Vessel Quickly Destroyed.
The destruction of the schooner was
speedy as, otter the crash, she opened
up and went to pieces. So suddenly did
the vessel break up that Capt. Harding
had no time to reach dory. and nine OF
his crew were equally unfortunate.
The others. more fortunate. got into
dories without oars and drifted or
steered shoreward as best they might.
One of the boats upset and the men
were thrown into the water. but they
grasped the dory. and, regaining COM
mand of it, moved over the tremen-
dous sea toward the shore, which the
ten men reached about midnight.
The schooner had 10000 pounds of
fish She was owned by Parker of

From the Other Viewpoint.

Mr.. Houser In his statement said:
La Toilette will carry North Dakota
Tuesday by at least 10000. There cannot
be the least doubt of the result in the
mind of any person who is familiar with
conditions and who has had any oppor-
tunity to discover the sentiment of the
people. North Dakota is a progressive
state, and it's republicans will remain
loyal to the progressive principles for
which they have fought SO long and of
which they recognize Robert NJ. LaFOl-
lette as the exponent.
1T was practically certain that La Fol-
lette would carry the state before he
came. His visit here and the manner in
which he has been received remove the
last grain Of doubt"

Excitement in Town.

The shooting caused much excitement
throughout Barre. An attempt had been
made to have militia sent to Barre. but
Gov. Foss decided against this after an
investigation of the situation, on the
ground that the county authorities had
not made any serious attempt to take
care Of the situation.
Trouble is feared in the textile mills
of Fall River, where 10000 mill opera
tives have demanded a raise of pay OF
Is per cent. to begin March Is. These
operatives are organized and are MEM
bers of the American Federation OF
Labor.
William E. Trautman and other strike
leaders today considered the proposition
of sending leaders to Fall River and New
Bedford. in the belief that there will be
trouble in both of those cities. In New
Bedford there are about 10000 operatives
who want an increase of 10 per cent in
their pay. They have been promised q
) per cent increase.

POINTS ON RAISING PEANUTS
Most Profitable Crop In South and
Southwest Where Soil Is Light and
Climate Friendly.

Peanuts are profitable crop in
the southwest and south where the
soil is light and the climate friendly,
but great many farmers do not seem
to know it.
The nuts can be raised more cheap
ly and more easily than corn and they
always bring good price
Both horses and cattle are fond OF
the hay and it makes excellent
,roughage.
Peanuts are one of the best crops
going for boys because they seem to
take more interest In this than any
other crop on the farm particularly
If they are allowed to have the pro-
ceeds which they should have.
The way to start is to get perfectly
good seed The nuts should be
smooth, of good size and free from
any hlemish.
In Kansas and Missouri the seed
should be planted about the last OF
April, but in Virginia they are often
planted little earlier DO not plant
until the ground becomes warm.
Plant two seeds in a hill and make
the hills three feet apart or they can
be planted in check rows.
Keep the ground loose and mellow
with cultivator and hoe until the
plants begin to make little root-like
pods which later develop into nuts
After that all the work that is neces-
sary is enough to Keep down the
weeds.
In the south many growers cover
the bloom as soon as 1t develops, but
in Kansas that is seldom done and
good crops are raised there.
Peanuts are harvested with four
tined fork. The fork Is stuck into the
ground under the hill which is then
gently loosened up and pulled out
with the hands.
The nuts should be placed In dry
room-the hay loft makes a good
storehouse- and when they are thor
oughly dry and clean they are ready
for market
Nuts should be put up in bags hold
ing about 100 pounds.

RID LAND OF PINE STUMPS
Circumstances Must Govern Farmer,
as One Method Might Not Be
Economical to All.

Circumstances should govern a
farmer in adopting method OF re-
moving stumps. The most economical
method for one farmer would be the
most expensive for other farmers. Ii
the timber will readily rot and the
land Is adapted to pasture, 1t is adj
ytsable to cut away the timber and
pasture the land until the roots and
stumps decay If this method is
adopted, the timber should be cut
close to the ground and all cut tim
Der burned during the dry time. The
sprouts and brush must be kept down
with an axe.
A steel stump puller can be used
to good advantage where there are a.
considerable number of stumps per
acre. A heavy wooden stump puller
built to stand over stumps Is SO
heavy that a crew of men with a
team will spend most Of their time
moving the machine from stump to
stump and adjusting it In position to
Dull. A steel machine that winds the
rome low down so that the team can
cross under any conditions with per-
feet safety, and that can be easily
anchored to stump or tree, and that
will clear as much land at one Set
ting as the chord will reach over IS
the machine to buy.
pine stumps can be burned out very
easily by removing the dirt from
around them for twelve or fifteen
inches deep and by applying chunks
or logs to keep the fire burning day
and night. Where there is considera-
bic timber standing on the land, the
burning process is, no doubt the most
economical, and by far the most pref
cradle for men inexperienced in the
use OF explosives The dirt may be
removed from around the stumps at
any time and the timber. cut and
sawed into blocks, say. five feet long.
