MAN FALLS 81 STORIES;
is READY TO GO TO WORK

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Charles w.
Friedle, derrick man on the new
municipal building in course Of con-
struction, was overbalanced by the
wind while standing on the edge of
the twenty-first story and tumbled all
the way to the sidewalk without sus-
tanning any injuries.
Friedle's marvellous presence of
mind saved him. Pedestrians saw him
make lightning reach for a rope a
few feet away from him. He could
not reach it, but by the time he passed
the eighteenth story the rope was
blown directly in front Of him. He
soon caught hold but could not stop
his downward flight. At the sixteenth
story he struck large knot on the
rope, which broke his hold. He whirl-
ed around several times but again
caught the rope at the fifth floor. Ten
feet from the ground the rope came
to an end and Friedle dropped to the
ground. Picking himself up he COM
planned of being dizzy, but said he was
ready to return to work. A pair of
heavy gloves had protected his hands.

ROOSEVELT
IS STUMP[D
''TurribIe Ted Lacking
Campaign Matter and
Manager
Western Press.

Western Press.
BOSTON, Feb. 2s.-Colonel Roose.
welt is embarrassed for the lack of a
campaign manager. Up to today he
counted on United States Senator Dix
on of Montana to lead his nomination
battle, but word came to him that Dix
on was not sure he could undertake
the job because of illness in his fam
lily.
81 have heard from Senator Dixon"
said the colonel, regretfully, "and it
seems he may not be able to lead the
campaign. l hope he will still find it
possible but am not at all sure"
''Is there any other manager in
sight ?" was asked.
81 know of nome" replied Mr.. Roos-
evelt. 81 have thought of none other
than Dixon as yet"
Asked if Senator Borah of Idaho
would do in the event that Dixon final
ly drops out, the colonel intimated
that Borah would not find time to de-
vote himself to the campaign.
1t has been put up to Roosevelt that
the majority those already elected as
delegates from the south and those
about to be elected, are nothing less
than political "turncoats" Democrats,
who for expediency, have made them
selves for the time being into Re-
publicans. Roosevelt has been advised
to make hot contest at the conven-
ton against allowing these delegates
to be seated on the ground that they
cannot be regarded as party men. The
colonefs advisers maintain that the
"turncoats" pretended to change theil
politics only when they found there
were general appointive jobs awaiting
them. The districts which the ma
jority of them come from are report
ed to be lacking in any semblance Of
Republican organization, even party
enrollments being passed up.

PLAIN FIGURES ON WOOL.

Another strong presentation of the
political duplicity of Congressman J.
A. Martin and his fellow-representa-
tives in the Democratic party of de-
struction is made in indisputable fig
ures on the wool basis summed up in
communication by A. Forder, large
sheep grower of Forder, Colorado, to
Senator Guggenheim requesting the
latter to do all in his power to pro-
tect the industry.
When he voted to reduce the tariff
on Schedule X, Representative Martin
made false play to popular approval
by announcing that he wanted the
workingmen to have cheaper clothing.
His utter falsity in this position was
proven by Mr.. Martin himself more
recently when before congress he
boastfully proclaimed his loyalty to
the destructive principles of the Dem
ocratic party to the extent of will
ingness to place on the free list every
product of "the most complete steel
plant within one fence that exists on
the face Of the earth," policy which
would destroy this industry and throw
out Of employment "one-third of the
male population" of his home town so
that this vast army Of workingmen
would not be able to buy any cloth
ing no matter how cheap 1t might be.
No matter what they might say in
an attempted defense of their free
trade principles they mean the de-
struction of industries, the lowering
of wages, the cutting out altogether of
financial returns for the workingmen,
with no possibility Of lower priced
commodities, as made clear by the
communication of Mr.. Forder. The
proposed cut in the tariff on wool
would not only destroy the sheep and
wool industry, but would make our
country so dependent on foreign wool
growers that they could dictate any
price. The figures show many other
ways in which the people as well as
industries would suffer by such tar
iff schedule, but they are so plain that
we will let them tell their own story
The letter reads In part as follows:

WOMEN ALL -KNEED
BUT ARE NOT TO BLAME

NEW YORK Feb. 27.-It seemed to
be enough of a ''knock" when word
was telegraphed from the University
of Wisconsin that 81 per cent of the
co-eds were knock-kneed. But that
was nothing to what was said by Miss
Catherine S. Leverich, chairman Of
the executive committee of the girls
branch of the public schools athletic
league.
"All women are knock-kneed," de-
clared Miss Leverich. "Woman's hips
being so large it is natural for her to
be knock-kneed. 1t is not woman's
fault. 1t is the way nature made
her."
Then Miss Leverich added another
crushing blow. "The majority Of
women in New York are flat-footed,'
she said. 81 think it is due to walk
ing so much on the pavements."
Lee Shubert, the theater manager
took a slightly different view:
KNOCK -kneed girls are in the ma
jority among all classes" said Mr.
Shubert, with the exception Of chorus
girls. Ninety-nine per cent of the
chorus girls are straight limbed.
"You will find that "a out of 2t
society girls are knock-kneed and dc
not know how to walk gracefully
across ballroom floor, whereas ev
cry chorus girl knows how to walk ane
how to use her feet.
at is because Of this so many Of
the wealthy young men Of this coun
try and titled chaps on the other sid
prefer to marry actresses to women o
their own social sphere. These stag

The house steel trust investigation
committee today made public the re-
suit of its inquiry, into the books and
minutes of the United States Steel
corporation, conducted by Farquhar
j. McRae, an expert accountant.
The McRae report reaches the con-
clusion that the steel corporation op-
crates in restraint of trade and pre-
vents competition through the manip-
ulation Of prices through the influ-
ence of so-called "Gary dinners." by
control Of the raw material and
through system Of interlocking di-
rectors in the various companies. It
also contradicts the testimony given
by the steel trust officials. Some Of
the se.r"ss dealt with in the report are
startling It is shown that ]. p.

seventy million dollars in cash profits
for organizing the big steel combine
and that the net profits Of the concern
for the first nine years of its's exist
ence were more than one billion dol
