I. R. DEFENDS HIS
 BOLT AT CHICAGO Travels Leisurely Across the
 State of Nebraska RAPS MIR. ROSEWATER Declares He Stole Delegation at Chi cago-Governor Johnson Speaks in Home City of Mir. Taft.
 Voice Is Improved
RAPS MIR. ROSEWATER

Omaha, Neb., September 20.-A defense of his action in quitting the republican party and taking the lead in the forma- ton of a new party was made today by Colonel Roosevelt. He spent the day in the state, with speech for every stop. He spent three hours this afternoon ai .incoln and omaha.
 At Lincoln he spoke at the auditorium. He began by saying that Victor Rose water of Omaha, former republican na- tional committeeman, "stole the Nebraska delegates to the republican convention Just as effectively as if the delegates had been thrown out''
 ''It has been said'' he continued, Oh, well, of course, this Is bad, but you should stay In the party and reform it. The only way you can reform that kind of men IS with a club.
 Look at what the republican national committee is doing at this moment. It is seating the men who were beaten at the primaries last spring. In New Jersey We beat Franklin Murphy. The people Iut him out and the national committee put him back. In Massachusetts we beat Mr. Crane for delegate by 11,o00 votes. The people threw him out. The national committee put him back. In Kansas We carried the primaries with a sweep. We threw MT. Mulvane out and the national committee put him back. The committee atls not put Penrose and Rosewater back yet, but they will get back"
 The national committee Is the one which will handle the republican national con- venton ir 1916. They are already be- having worse than they behaved before and to be able to behave worse than that shows almost genius''

Speaks of Bryan

Colonel Roosevelt then turned to the democratic party speaking of William ]. Bryan and criticising the position of Gov ernor Wilson.
 One of the prominent features of this campaign he said. has been that MT. Bryan has said we have stolen our issues from the democratic platform. Stole the democratic platform? I would not have 1t as gift
 Colonel Roosevelt said Governor Wilson had expressed a platonic attachment to the progressive platform but that by his utterances and his party's platform he was welded to q theory of govern ment which would make it impossible for him. If he were elected, to carry out the progressive principles. Saying that Governor Wilson had declared in favor of the limitation of the power of govern ment, he continued:
 "Mr Wilson's sentiment is the senti- ment which will excite more enthusiastic applause in Wall street than any other he could have uttered. It means that every man and woman borne down in the Struggle cannot be helped by such means as we propose. because, forsooth. of theory of past centuries which has no application to the present time. that we must preserve our liberty through limiting the powers of government
 Colonel Roosevelt left tonight for Kan sas.

FORMAL DEFIANCE
 FROM GENERAL MENA
Will Oppose Advance of American Commander-Europ Attention May Be Called to Situation in
 Britons Killed

Washington, September 20.-severe lighting between American naval forces and Nicara guan revolutionists Is be- lieved to have occurred In the past few days near Barrancas. although re- ports from the scene are so meagre officials here have no definite idea of what has happened. Rear Admiral Southerland is in the field probably with upward of 20o0 men, and fl plans have not miscarried by this time he has cleared the route of the National railway of opposing rebels and re- lieved the famine threatened city of Granada.
 European attention to affairs in Nic- aragua at this time is believed to Dc one of the possibilities of the situation. The United States In sending relief to the beleaguered city. Granada, popu- lated by many foreigners, had hoped to avert any pretext for landing Euro pean military or naval forces on Gen. tral American soil The British consul general at Managua and the British vice sonsul at Matagalpa have report ed two British subjects murdered by the rebels at Aehuapa. It Is expect ed, however, the British government before taking action upon its own ac- count, will await results of the Amer ican campaign

San Juan del Sur, Me, September 20. Nicaraguan rebels captured the town of San Jorge on Lake Nicaragua, five miles east of Rivas, the capital of the most southerly department on the Pa cific side of Nicaragua, Thursday. While the rebel gunboats bombarded San Jorge another force of insurgents furiously attacked Rivas- cutting the telegraph wires to San Juan del Sur and gradually forcing the government troops to fall back on the town of Quarts. When the rebel attack slack cned the government forces captured a rapid fire gun and used if with such deadly effect that the rebels were obliged to retire. The fight lasted five hours and both sides suffered from the conflict described sanguinary
 In the fight at Rivas over 100 men were killed or wounded. It is reported that the revulutionists later evacuated San Jorge.

Marines Fired On

A delayed cablegram from Admiral Southerland dated Managua, II o'clock p. m, September IT, and reporting that American bluejackets and marines were fired upon as they attempted to open the railway, reached the navy depart ment today. Delayed reports yesterday said the Granada relief party had been fired upon last Sunday that the officer in command had been halted and sent to Managua for achievements and that Admiral Southerland had gone to the rescue with two companies of ma rines and a detachment of sailors Whether there was more firing from the rebels before. the additional Amer lean force arrived Is not known, but It Is possible the brush referred to in the dispatch received today was the one that took place Sunday.
 Upon his arrival at Barrancas, Ad- miral Southerland sent word to Gen era1 Zeledon, one of the rebel leaders. that he proposed to open the railroad to Granada and keep 1t open and that he would give the rebels Just q hours to clear the front.
 While Zeledon hesitated General Mena, principal leader in the revoln- tion, came northward from Granada with another large force of rebels and joined him After a consultation they sent a formal defiance to Admiral Southerland. announcing their purpose to oppose his advance.
 It is not known exactly how many sailors or marines composed the ad mirHlS f0roa that time. hut if ia believed IL did not exceed 300 or 400 men. At any rate In view of the large numbers of rebels at his front and un- willing to run the risk of even temper ary defeat, the admiral called for rein forcements from Managua, where. it is believed, there still were about 1500 sailors and marines available.

COSTS BUT LITTLE TO
PAVE INTERSECTIONS

MOSCOW, Mar. 23.-In order that
property owners at large may under
stand fully the very light cost which
will result from the paving of street
intersections, reference is made to
Lewiston, Idaho figures, where il was
found that in the Sth street paving dis
trict of Is blocks, the street intersec-
tiCns amounted to 80 per cent of the
total paving cost, exclusive of curb
ing and that the yearly expense to
all the property owners. therefGr,
would be a total of only $S75. which
represents 5 per cent interest on $17.-
5000 or only 16-100 of one mill, since
there was total assessed valuation
at $5,416,6 6,645.20 to bear the burden.
From these figures it was found that
the man who owned a home worth
$1,000 would pay yearly total of only
1G cents, and that in twenty years his
total cost would be only $500 and that

He said: "The trouble was due tc

federation have been made the sine
qua non of further negotiations. We
cannot allow these rates to be cut

I'VE have refused to arbitrate, not
because our demands are unjust, but
because board might cut those rates,

BROTHER OF MURDERERS
IS HIGHLY RESPECTED

Mr.. and Mrs Lee Humphrey came to
Idaho about five years ago, and since
that time had no word from the two
brothers until the death of their moth
er, at Banks, Ore, on March 8. He
was summoned to his mothers bed
side, and was with her at her death.
After the funeral, the brothers decided
to settle their affairs, and sell the
home to pay the funeral expenses.
George Humphrey left Banks, to do SO,
and when, after he had not returned
fer three days, Lee Humphrey left
Banks for Moscow, he heard at the
station of his brothers arrest. Later
the confessions developed
Mr. Humphrey and his estimable
wife are at a complete loss to ac-
count for the crimes of which the
brothers stand accused and to which
they are alleged to have confessed,
and are almost prostrated with grief
over the horrible affair.

PaIOuse Farmers Want Roads.

The Palouse Republic says the farm
ers tributary to Palouse want the pub
lie roads improved. 1t is proposed to
grade up the roads this spring and af-
ter they settle to gravel them. The
past winter, with its deep mud, has
done more to awaken the farmers to
anything that has been said by the
papers for many months. There is an
awakening everywhere and much good
will follow. Moscow farmers are al
so waking up and preparing TO gravel
the public roads.

SITUATION SERIOUS.

LONDON, Mar. 23.-The London
home Office has estimated that al
least 25O,O0O persons are out OF
work as the result of the strike. Count
ing others dependent on these for a
.IiylihOod, the total facing starvation is
100000.
The heads of municipalities through
out England sent word today to the
government Officials that they would
be unable to maintain order unless the
strike is speedily settled.
Food riots have already occurred in
Scotland and in Wales the situation is
hourly becoming more acute. The
home office admitted that thousands
are being fed in municipal soup kitch-
ems in the north of Wales. The strike
fnuds are exhausted. Only Derbyshire
and Durham miners have little
money.
The majority of the cotton mills
in Lancashire and Yorkshire are clos
ed down and additional trouble from
this source is expected.
The gas works at Leeds are guarded
by the police because they are besieged
by people begging coke.
The fOunderies Of Lincoln are closed
and 10000 people are out of work
there.

Appalling Suffering.

LONDON, Mar 23.-There is appall
ing suffering in England, Scotland ant
Wales as the result of the prolonged
coal strike. Every district in the
three countries is affected.
Thousands of families in the cities
have pawned all their property includ-
ing furniture and are living in bare
rooms with no fuel.
In the Hanley district 100000 men
women and children are dependent on
charity. There are soup kitchens in
all communities with more than 5000
inhabitants. The infant morality is
appalling. In hundreds of thousands
of homes a weak cruel made of mois-
tened meal is the only sustenance CIV
en- babies.

if he accepted one days work on the
job he would earn nearly as much
as he would pay out in 20 years.
The reason why the cost is so very
light is due to the fact that Lewiston
intends to raise only enough money
each year to pay the interest on the
bonded indebtedness for the intersec-
tions, realizing that the value of the
property would so steadily increase
that within the 20 years. without in
creasing the rate of taxation, a silffic-
lent sinking fund would be created to
retire the principal bonded indebted
ness.
ldentically the same conditions
should prevail at Moscow, and even
though a very large district should be
paved, the cost to the property own
er at large, for paving the street in
should be so light as to
escape notice
