He Denies He Said He
Would Be Candidate.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Through Law
renee F. Abbott, as proxy, Col. Theodore
Roosevelt today placed In his rapidly
growing Anannias Club all Of the news
papers which today declared that at the
Aldine Club dinner last night he said
that he would accept the Presidential
nomination from the Republican ma
tional committee, 'if asked to do 30 un-
solicited ~
The colonel was at his office in the
Outlook today and refused to see any
one excepting by appointment. but when
inquirers demanded statement re-
garding the reports current, Abbott
came out and issued the following state
ment:
''Mr. Roosevelt will make no state
ment or comment Of any kind regard
ing the Aldine Club dinner which he
attended last night. The dinner was
private club affair. No representa-.
tives of the press were permitted to be
present No one took down what Mr..
Roosevelt had to say. I am also GER
tain that no one attempted to repeat
for publication even the purport of his
remarks, because 70 have done SO would
have been a grave breach Of faith. The
statements that have appeared in a
number of the papers. notably the New
York Times OF this morning, are abso-
lutely without foundation In fact.
LAWRENCE r. ABBOTT"
When asked IL he spoke by direct
authorization of Colonel Roosevelt, Alb
bott rpelied:
II cannot even answer that question" "
Several persons believed to be West
ern politicians, called to see the colonel
by appointment, but all Information re-
garding their identity was refused by
Secretary Harper.

The necessity for the erection OF a
new school building in Alexandria was
urged by members of city council at
last nights meeting. A resolution In
troduced by Councilman Smith called
attention to the present congested con-
ditions in the schools, and called for q
committee Of two members from each
board to confer and report on the mat
ter. Councilmen Smith and Burke were
appointed by President snowden.
The second resolution was introduced
by Councilman Spinks, providing for the
erection Of a suitable building, the site
of which was yet to be selected, and
$4,000 for that purpose.
The resolution was referred to the
finance committee. That he has already
a resolution pending, calling for. the ap-
preparation Of $25,000 for similar pur-
pose, was announced by Councilman
Birrell.
That they will oppose the passage of
any appropriation for the erection of

slaughter pen in which fifty thousand
industrial workers are annually killed,
and five hundred thousand manned and
injured. BY the most reliable authority,
sixty per cent of this slaughter could be
avoided by reasonable prccaution and OBJ
scrvauce OF even the meager laws that
cover the industrial field.
The average worker produces about
eight dollars per day and receives an
average of about one dollars and forty
cents. Yet, he is accused of extraya-
gance and high living, and many of the
well fed gentlemen of the land assign
the cause of poverty and distress to Idle
ness and incompetence, But the best fig
ures we have upon this matter show that
one-fourth of one per cent of industrial
idleness is chargeable to intemperance.
But, to what account shall we charge
the years report of twelve thousand
murders, twelve thousand suicides and
the Imprisonment of one out of every
one hundred and eighty of our ninety
millions people? Shall we go down into
the abyss and seek the answer in the
rookeries of poverty where the great
wolves of intemperance, want and crime
prowl increasingly, where the wings of
the black bats never fold, where the
simmer of moral sunlight is seldom
seen, or shall we go to the mansions on
the hill and the gilded dens, in the big
sky scrapers, from which the annual
billions of dividends are paid? For it is
in these dens that the nation has been
trustified, everything from the cradle to
the coffin.
