PATH OF ROSES OREGON
 CARPET FOR ROOSEVELT

Portland, Ore, Sept. 12.-Upon a blanket of roses Col. Roosevelt walked from his train here through a lane of cheering Bull Moosers. The rosy path was the idea of the Pro. gressive leaders to typify the roseate hue upon the third party horizon in Oregon.
 One hundred dozen roses were strewn upon the path trod by the ex- president from the train to an auto mobile outside the depot.
 The original idea of the Bull Moosers was to toss the roses at the colonel, but the chief of police had a suspicion that some crank might slip a little dynamite bomb in flower and hurl 1t, so he gave stern orders that the roses be laid upon the ground, not thrown into the air.

MAN KILLS GIRL, SHOOTS
 HIMSELF IN DEATH PACT

Boston, Sept. 12.-A death pact is believed to be behind the killing of Miss Mabel Clayton at the Preble house by Frank E. Ogilvie of Melrose, who afterward shot himself in the right temple. The young woman died at the relief hospital within half an hour after the shooting from bullet wound in the head. Ogilvie is dying. Some sheet music containing the song Let's Forget We Ever Met" which was found in the hotel rooms, strengthens the theory the couple had resolved to die together. The song was open at the last verse, where a line reads: Until we say goodbye" l" Two seats for Boston theater were found. From the theater it is believed they went to the hotel, where Ogilvie registered shortly after midnight.

 What took place within the saloon, where Hufnagel was when the bandits arrived, is known only to the two men who entered the place evidently to rob 1t.

CRAZED BY READING
 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD

Sandusky, O., Sept. 12.-When Carl Hasenmeier decided to shy his hat into the ring, organize his own po- litical party and run for president, his relatives led him before Judge Sloane, and the would-be candidate is on his way to the Toledo asylum. Hasen- meier, according to the testimony of his relatives, had been driven insane by reading the Congressional Record. After Roosevelt decided to enter the presidential race Hasenmeier could not decide whether he wanted to re- main a Democrat or join the new party. He determined to post himself thoroughly on public questions and had the Congressional Record sent him. This he has read continuously for weeks.
