There are some that hold aloof

the arrogant usurpation Of power by

the people the power of self-govern-

Washington, Aug. 14.-The pension

cial crisis in its history as the result
of the lack Of funds to pay the pen

and Detroit only four cents. REPORTS
from all the agencies received at the
bureau tell the same story of no
money for the veterans and their de-
pendants on the nations pension list.
This condition is due to the delay of
congress in passing the pension ap-

Old appropriation bill for a fifteen day
period so that one twenty-fourth vi

Taft Men Awaken to Plight

Atlantic City. Aug. 14.-At a con-
ference here Senator Boies Penrose
and his followers and few of Presi-
dent Taft's Pennsylvania supporters
are trying to devise a means of en-
tirely separating the Taft from the
Roosevelt campaign in the keystone
state. The senator's lieutenants are
trying to convince him that, in view

voiced the sediment Of the confer

He would have the national COM
publican national committeeman from
Pennsylvania under the rule adopted
by the republican national conven-

adjournment. This rule gives the ma

He would go farther than this and
oust Wasson as chairman Of the state
central committee on the ground that
Wasson is Films personal friend and.

contends that his political Affiliations
are not such as to render him capa-
BILE of directing the sort Of fight that
