ABBOTT STARTS
ANANIAS CLUB

New York, Jan. --"Statements that
have appeared in certain papers pur-
porting to quote Theodore Roosevelt
on his attitude toward the presiden-
tial nomination as voiced here last
night at private dinner, are abso-
lutely without foundation in fact"
So declared Lawrence Abbott, act
ing for the colonel, who declined to
see interviewers today in reputation
Of the accounts.
Roosevelt will make no statement
of comment of any kind regarding the
Aldine club dinner" said Abbott. "No
representative of the press was
present and no one took down
what Roosevelt said and I'm certain
no one attempted to repeat it, be-
cause to do so would have been to
break faith"

SOUTH DAkoTAN STILL MISSING
CenterviIle Man Believed to Be the
Victim of FOUL Play.

Centerville. S. D., Jan. Mystery
still surrounds the strange disappear
ance Of David Fihlberg who suddenly
dropped out Of sight last Tuesday
night. Posses are daily searching the
surrounding country for the body Of
the missing man.
One theory is that F'ahlberg went to
his barn and found a thief trying to
steal q team of horses: that the thief
shot him and fed, leaving his body ly-
on the ground; that Fahlberg soon
partly regained his senses, wandered
off in the storm and perished. His cap
with blood and hair sticking to it, was
found on the barn floor.
Fahlberg was 70 have been married
this week to Miss Emily Anderson, the
daughter Of a prominent farmer near

HAS RESULTED IN PUTTING

Paris, Jan. 10.--Theophile Del Casse
until now minister of marine In the
French cabinet, has been offered and
has accepted the portfolio of minister
Of foreign affairs in succession to JUS
tin De Selves, who resigned yester-
day after dramatic scene during q
meeting Of the committee OF the SEN
ate on foreign affairs. 1t is rumored
today other changes may occur in the

It was cabinet breaker" Georges
Ciemenceau, who brought about the
ministerial crisis. When, during the
meeting Of the senate committee, Pre-
mier Callaux denied there had been
secret negotiations between France
and Germany on the subject Of Nor
occo NJ Clemenceau sprang to hsi
feet and hurled the question at NJ. De
Selves, "'will you confirm the pre-
mier's statement"
After some hesitation on the part of
M. De Selves, the foreign affairs min
lister replied he could not answer the
question because he was tied between
the double duty--that OF telling the
truth and the interest OF his country.
Later M. De Selves resigned.
Theopile Del Casse, who once more
has taken charge of the ministry Of
foreign affairs, has had probably more
experience in that department than
any other statesman of France. He
had the portfolio Of foreign affairs
from 1898 until 1905, during which time
he saw FIVE different cabinets come
and go. In all probability he would
have continued in Office even longer
but for the fact that his policy, es-
pecially with regard to Morocco, was
viewed with so much disfavor by the
German emperor that the two coun-
tries almost came to blows. He is 55
years old. He began his career as. a
newspaper writer.

E|GHT-HOUR DAY
 FOR U. s. WORK
Favorable Report on Bill to Limit Working Hours of
 Private Contractors

Washington, April 6.-The bill lim- iting labor on government work by private contractors to eight hours a day was ordered favorably reported from the senate committee on educa- tion and labor yesterday. The bill already has passed the house. No amendments were offered by the sen ate committee.
 The bill has been the object of ser ious attack by manufacturers and government contractors throughout the country. They contended that it deprived a man of his constitutional right to work as long as he wanted to, would prohibit them from working overtime on hurried government con- tracts, and would place great hard ships on the contractors. The senate committee held prolonged hearings on the measure arguments both for and against the bill being adduced.
 The bill directs that all government contracts shall stipulate that parties doing work for the government-both contractors and sub-contra ctors-must operate on an eight hour basis. It would not affect contracts for land or water transportation, transmission of intelligence. or for such articles as usually may be bought in open market except armor and armor plate.

YUAN'S SHARP NOTE FOR COIN TO PAY
 BOXER INDEMNITY
fspecia1 from United Press.)

Pekin, April 6-The finances of the new Chinese republic are causing President Yuan Sf1i Kai more than a little trouble and today he sent a per emptory note to the heads of the va rious provinces demanding money to pay the Boxer indemnity, several months overdue. For over month now Yuan has been sending round robin notes to the provincial officials without result
 Unless the Boxer indemnity is speedily paid, Yuan is afraid of com plications with the various powers to whom money is due. These he is desperately anxious to avoid lest they afford an opportunity for Russia and Japan to make further grabs in Mongolia and Manchuria respectively. The local authorities, falling to see the presidents viewpoint. find the money hard to raise and they have interposed all sorts of objections. Yuan shows signs of losing his pa tience and his last note, it is under stood, without making any threats, made it clear that unless money is collected shortly it will come out of the provincial officials.
 It is believed that the officials will recognize the tone of the note and furnish the furlus. While there is some complaint that Yuan is assum- ing a decidedly peremptory tone for a mere President the republican leaders recognize the urgent nature of the situation and generally endorse his stand.

BIG ELEPHANT WITH BARNUM SHOW GETS
 A LUXURIOUS BATH

It was a great holiday in New York for Babe. the big elephant with the Barnum & Bailey circus, for apart from sundry delicacies which were given to her late in the afternoon she enjoyed the privilege of having a real bath-her second in three years
 This bath was helped along with soft soap, and one of the keepers ob- tained for it a pound of scented soap.
 These elephants that have been away from the jungles for years,'' said Harry Mooney, the tranier, "are get ting mighty strange. They seem to think they ought to be pampered and coddled. I have to be constantly on the go. It's worse than having prima donna on your hands. These elephant stars are likely to haul off and hit you a knockout blow if they are not satisfied
 '"This big brute Babe whined around for week and got lazy, just because she wanted to have some soap and warm water. Perfectly praiseworthy in a child, but mighty poor coddling when it's a pachyderm. Elephants wash in summer when they go into the river. They don't get dirty in the winter, just lying around in beau tiful hay. But you can't tell Babe that, so she had to be washed. It was a job that kept four men busy for more than two hours"
 !. But Babe looked extremely nice last evening.
