BACK AT HIS DESK.
Roosevelt Is Receiving Calls and Invi-
tations to Speak.

New York, Feb. 29.-Back from his trip
to Boston. Theodore Roosevelt resumed
his work al his editorial office here today
1t was his first day in New York since
his announcement that he was willing to
accept the presidential nomination and d
him.
Mr., Roosevelt said he expected to re-
main in New York until tomorrow after
noon when he will go to oyster Bay.
he said that he had made no definite
plans for the time before the Republican
national convention in June He has re-
ceived many invitations to speak but
said he did not wish to make extended
trips if he could avoid it.
One invitation, however, he has ac-
cepted. 1t is to speak before the conven-
ton of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers on the battlefield OF Gettys-
burg, Pa, Memorial day
Medill Mccormick of Chicago, who
has been managing the Roosevelt head
quarters in Washington was on hand
when Mr.. Roosevelt reached his office,
prepared for an all-day discussion Of
the situation. Mr.. Mccormick denied
the statement that he had come over
from Washington because of a mis-
understanding. 1t had been said he
was disappointed when Mr.. Roosevelt
stated he favored the selection of Sen
atOr Dixon of Montana as the national
manager for the movement. Mccormick
said he was good soldier in the RoOse-
welt fight and made it clear that he
had not insisted upon being in entire
charge.
For ten days" he said, 81 have
done everything possible to induce
Senator Dixon to undertake direction
of the campaign for Mr.. Roosevelt's
nomination. Other friends of Mr..
Roosevelt have seen Seantor Dixon
for the same purpose and I hope that
he may decide to undertake the work,
although it means a very great sacri-
fee for him. The statement that 1
was put out is singularly silly"
Mr.. Roosevelt himself said he could
say nothing.

Gently gave their Greek dances before
the Wellesley club of Philadelphia,
some of the best known society women
of that city acting as patronesses.
Nine Victoros told the police that
her supposed husband had brought her
to this country as a white slave and
that he had attempted to rid himself
of her during the past week that he
might sell her daughters into slavery.
The women sought police protection,
showing marks of frightful abuse. The
husband and three women are being
held by the police, who have asked
the local immigrant station to deport
the women. Victoros says the woman
is insane.

the assurances of Robert Grain, chair
man of the Baltimore convention commit
tee, that hotel rates will not be raised IN
Baltimore during the national convention,
Trey Woodson, secretary of the Demo-
cratic national committee, insists that
complaints of eXorbitant rates are al
most general among members of the ma
tional committee"
When informed of Mr. Grains state
ment Mr.. Woodson said;
4 wish to deny that my complaint
against Baltimore hotel rates was based
upon treatment of myself. for the Ken
lucky delegation alone. This complaint
is almost general among members of the
national committee of exorbitant rates.
Baltimore hotels cannot deny they signed
an agreement not to raise rates and the
proof is abundant that the contracts they
are exacting of members of the national
committee show they have raised rates
outrag eously. 1 ask Mr.. Grain to pro-
duce these contracts. Let us have the

withdrawing locomotives from the
Juarez side as they declare this move
was made because the engines and
cars needed repairs. They left the IN
ference that the outfit would be re-
turned to Juarez, but would not say
so in so many words.
The peculiar coincidence that the
entire troop train made up yesterday
to take the rebel army to chihuahua
should suddenly be found unf1t at the
same moment was left unexplained.
A new manifesto addressed to Gov
ernor Abram Gonzales of the state OF
Chihuahua and signed by "Revolu-

trembling knees to resign. declaring
that he, like President Madero, was a

if the railroads do not resume opera
tions in that country before March z,
the big smelter and mines at Nelar-
