ing prominent place among the shipping
points of the west and that II is the
desire of the Nickel Plate officials to
have the representatives come here ard
get into closer touch with business cond-
tions Of the west. 1t is felt that no bette
place could have been selected for this
purpose.
There will be about twenty-five officials
here for the conference. headed by B. r.
Horner, general passenger agent OF
Cleveland. The business sessions will be
held In the Rome hotel.
While the men are not actively engaged
In conferences they will be taken In hand

ness said he saw three men with re-
volvers, but was not sure whether more

was unable to identify the others, but
swore that Whitney fired one of the
shots.
The prosecution in the case of Police
Lieutenant Charles Becker, charged with
the murder of Herman Rosenthal re

COLONEL'S MANAGER
UNDER DISCUSSION
Senator Dixon, of Montana, Now
Said to Be Slated for
the Position.

Medin Mccormick, who opened the
Roosevelt headquarters yesterday morn
ing. went TO New York last night and
will so to Chicago to-day. He expects
TO return to Washington by the middle
OF the week. The Roosevelt progressives
are waiting the return from New York
of Senator CIapp. who was in New York
yesterday, and is supposed 10 have had
an interview with Col Roosevelt.
Since William Loeb has decided not to
direct the national organiza ton for
turning to Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon. Of
Montana. 1t is believed that Senator
Dixon will undertake this work if he can
be assured that Col. Roosevelt is will
ing to enter into the fight with earnest
ness.
One Of the interesting phases Of the
progressive situation discussed here is
row between Gov. johnson and Senator
Ia Toilette. The governor Of California
came to Washington TO persuade Sena-
tor La Toilette that Roosevelt should be
nominated, and to urge the Senator not
10 obstruCt the movement.
Gov. johnson asked Senator La Fol-
lette TO release him, so the story goes,
from a pladge Of support which the gov
ernor had given Senator La Toilette sew
eral weeks ago. Senator La Toilette de-
clined TO release the California executive,
whreupon the governor informed the Sen
ator from Wisconsin that he would be
put to the painful necessity of releasing
himself. This Gov. johnson will do, IL is
said. in a public declaration OF his in
tention to support Col Roosevelt.

REPORT or MUTINY
Navy Department officials skspti-
cal of Stories from the Battle
Ship Vermont.


The Navy Department has no informa-
tion concerning the reported mutiny on
board the battle snip Vermont, now at
Guantanamo omeers are most skepticai
as to the truth ot the story published
from Norfolk. Washington is in wireless
communication with Guantanamo, and it
Is believed any such Naffair as alleged
occurred on board the Vermont would
have been promptly reported to the de-
partment.
There Is good reason to believe, how
ever. that the administering OF the anti
typhoid prophylaxis may have aroused
some protest among the men OF the Yer
mont Both in the army. where IL was
first adopted. and in the navy ignorance
OF the nature OF the operation, and ex-
aggerated stories regarding its effects
upon the health OF the subject. have
aroused opposition among the enlisted
men. In all cases. however. the men
have submitted TO the incubation with
out resistance, ana no serious effects have
resulted. II is stated.
The majority OF the enlisted and Off
cered personnel OF the army was inocu-
lated with the anti-typhoid prophylaxis
in Texas last spring. IL was ordered adj
ministered TO all men under forty-flve
years Of age In the navy about six weeks
ago Naval surgeons state that in the
ma jority OF cases. the subject feels no
III effects, but that in others a slight
fever follows. accompanied by depres-
sion. These effects disappear within two
or three days in all cases, IL is declared.
