: At caucus of city delegates
this morning Lorenzo Dow,
Roosevelt leader, was recon-
mended to the progressive dele

" NEW YORK, May 10.-That
President Taft is the tool of the
bosses and that every vote not
cast for Roosevelt will tend to
strengthen the hold of the in
terests' upon the people, Is the
burden of public letter from
the colonel to the Minnesota
Roosevelt committee.
Mine states have held presi-
Dental primaries-North Dakota,
: Wisconsin, Illinois, Pennsylvania,
Nebraska, Oregon, New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts and Mary
land. Forty OF their delegates
are instructed for Taft and 216
against him. He has carried but
two of the nine--New Hampshire
and Massachusetts,. In all the
states together, three of every
four of the republicans voting in
the primaries Were opposed to
Taft.
President Taft's chances for
denomination lie solely In his
ability to secure delegates at Chi
cago who will misrepresent the
will of the people. After a pro-
longed experience with me as
president, practically all the big
republican bosses disliked me so
heartily that they opposed Taft's
nomination because 1 favored it.

Times Charges True.

Ilmes SnafKeS true.
Commissioner Petit declared
the Times statements to be true.
Petit said that Dahl asked him
personally il it would avail him
to request a renewal of the IL
cense.
Later Dahl sent License Inspec-
tor Shortees and Commissioner
Woods and Freeland to see If Pet
tit would renew the license.
Petit said he refused on the
ground that women had solicited
i'm the rear of the saloon, that a
disorderly house had been con-
Quoted up stairs, that the saloon
had violated the anti-treating law
and that he had received report
that Indians bought liquor there.
That the Bodega was disrepu-
table and notorious resort, both
upstairs and down and that "nO
respectable girl would live there"
was the testimony of Clara Roche,
who formerly conducted ian open
rOoming house" above Hans Dahl's
place.
She said that that was part Of
her agreement with Dahl.
Half dozen other witnesses
also gave the place a bad reputa-
tion and told of various disorderly
incidents.
Clara Roche told how she had
worked in Alaska and later as a
girl in the Bodega dance hall in
the early days of the open town.
She also told later of how she con-
Quoted the house under the Roys
open-town regime.
At one time she blazed forth at

In 22 months she said she had
paid Hans Dahl practically $12,-
600 for rent and liquors. She de-
tailed how the girls frequented the
back of the saloon and how drinks
were sent from the saloon to the
"hoteP above.
She also said she had conducted
resort at 18th and A sts., and
that when that was closed the in
mates went to the Bodega.
She stated that Fanny Gibson
