No Other Is SO True, and Fee" Are So

A police reporter, indeed Tor a PEN

historian Of his age. And, as 40 other
histories are half so true, SO few are

Tho Worlds Greatest Slave,

Aesop probably is one OF the most
noted slaves that ever lived. The
fables and stories he told have de-
lighted mankind for twenty-five hun
bred years, and there is no telling how
much longer the world will continue
to enjoy them. Aesop was so de-
formed that for a long time his Greek
master could not sell him. Finally
he was sold, and the master found
him so wise that he was set free.

T%Hr A~k%5 Z. r. to Come.
iGhicagO, June 15.-Any number Of
reasons or-alleged reasons are given
here in ar effort TO explain why ex-
President Roosevelt is to swing into
this town today. Half of his managers
on the battlefield, 1t is well known,
have protested all along against Col
onel Roosevelt's appearance during the
session of the national committee or
those of the national convention, but
William Finn. one Of his managers,
n born lighter himself, has insisted
from the time of his arrival here that
Colonel Roosevelt should come along
and make the welkin ring.
Finn declares that the colonel will
be on the battlefield just as the ma
tional committee is ending its work
on all the contests. 1t is his idea that
when these contests are all finally de-
cided tonight both Taft and Roose-
Welt will be running about neck and
neck and that the eX-president-will have
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in which
to personally talk with delegates who
are on the fence or inclined to be on
the fence for the purpose of win
ming them over to his cause.
Dixon Talks of Burglars"
Senator Dixon said that he and Alex
Hnder II. Revell of the Chicago Roose-
welt headquarters were to meet Mr..
Roosevelt this afternoon and escort
him to the Blackstone hotel. On Mon
day night there is to be a mass meet
Ing in the Auditorium theater ut which
Colonel Roosevelt will be the only
speaker. BY that time all of the dele
gates will be IN the city. 1t will be
open house. There Will be no tickets
issued, and a great throng is prom
ised.
Colonel Roosevelt in his speech will.
T. Is said. attack the national commit
tee for its decisions In the contests.
Senator-Dixon vas asked If Colonel
R~oosevelt's visit to this city has beer
made necessary by the situation. He
replied:
Judging from the action of this
bunch of burglars In the national com.

President Taft's utterance III the
White House: There will be no third

pions aud followers. Senator Crane
and other Taft men believe that the ex.
presidents visit to this city at this time
will be injurious to his cause.
Mckinley Says T. r. Has Lost.
Director William b. Mckinley of the
Taft headquarters, speaking Of Colonel
Roosevelt's arrival in this city, de
clared:

CHICAGO IS ON EDGE
WAITING FOR ROOSEVELT
Continued from page II
Train Nearly wrecked.

Albany, n. Y. June 10. - Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, on his way to
Chicago to fight for the Republican
nomination for president, narrowly es.
capped injury, together with bis 200 fel,
low passengers. But for the automatic
setting of the airbrakes a disastrous
accident might have occurred.
The train, which was a very heavy
one, consisting Of ten solid all steel
vestibule cars, pulled out of the Grand
Central station, New York. Less than
an hour afterward, while bowling
along at sixty miles an hour, the train
shlyered and, with a grinding crash,
passengers were thrown forward In
their seats, but no injuries were In
ficted.
4 hasty examination disclosed the
fact that the train had passed over a
large bowlder. The pilot of the engine
was smashed in, but the coWcatcher
had passed over one Of the large frag.
ments into which the bowlder was
broken without derailing the locomO-
tive. There was not, however, sufil
Gent clearance for the brake beams
and the air hose couplings to escape
damage.
When the first coupling snapped the
full force OF the air brakes was brought
to bear automatically, and the train
came to a c%runChlng stop, but not
before several brake beams were bent
in and the shoes jammed against the
wheel. The abrupt grip on the wheels
served to steady the train and was
probably instrumental in preventing a
deraiIment.
Roosevelt Badly Jared.
Colonel Roosevelt, who occupied a
compartment in the third car from the
engine, was reading at the moment of
the mishap and was almost thrown
from his seat. The spot where the
trouble occurred Is not far from the
home OF John d. Rockefeller.
According to John McAuliffe, engl-
neer on the Limited, he did not see
the obstruction, which lay at the end
Of a sharp curve. From marks on the
cowcatcher and the damaged brakes
beams he Judged that the bowlder
ia We bCNh " L'NA ~
A trsckwalker, who was near he
point of the curve, stated that he
thought he saw two small boys who
rolled the obstruction on the track.
And in this he vas borne out by two
boys standing by who said they had
seen the act done. Twenty minutes
work sufficed to patch matters up so
that the train could hobble into Pough-
keepsie. There further repairs were
made and the locomotive, which was
condemned by a company inspector,
was replaced with a small engine.
This occasioned more delay, during
which time the Colonel ate his dinner
placidly in the dining car.
The Roosevelt party occupied a com
partment in the car CORTLAND, where
the colonel kept quietly to himself, re
Taxing from the strain he had been
under since leaving Oyster Bay by
motor.

WAS MUCH ADO
ABOUT NOTHING
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Yesterday Chief of Police S. A. Pei
ton had warrant sworn out for E. s.
Thomas, who conducts the saw nill
on Water street between the two
bridges, on charge of obstructing the
public highway with logs Mr..
Thomas appeared in Justice of Peace
Adolph Andro's court in the afternoon
and the Judge pronounced him guilty
of the charge and gave him choice of
paying 81 and costs or serving two
days in the county Jail. Mr.. Thomas
protested to paying the fine and said
he would serve in the Jail before he
would pay a cent.
At this point Attorney Daniel Rug
giles, who was defending Mr.. Thomas,
informed the court that justice CT
peace had no jurisdiction over cases of
this sort and that according to the city
charter Police Justice James Farm
worth had exclusive jurisdiction over
all violations of the ordinances or
resolutions passed by the common
council. The law provides that in
case of sickness, inability or absence OF
the police justice the case may be tried
by a Justice of peace. Mr.. Farnworth
was summoned as witness and testi-
fed that he had been in the city every
day for the past six weeks, was in
good health and was always within a
couple of blocks from the business sec
ton. ~a.--,..@
City Attorney V. II. Cady appeared
fer the city and claimed that Mr..
Thomas was guilty of the charge and
should be dealt with accordingly.
Among the witnesses in the affair
were T. M. Case, Alderman l.. M.
Jacobs and George Macarthur, ST..
Mr.. Thomas stated that two years
ago he interviewed several of the city
aldermen and asked if he would be
safe in placing logs in the road at the
mill and he understood that he was
given that right, although it is not
believed that the city records show
that be was granted the privilege. On
the ground that Mr.. Thomas was act
ing in good faith or ia other words as
he believed he had a right to place
the logs In the highway, Judge Andre
suspended the fine and Mr.. Thomas
returned to the mill and today it is {
hard matter for those concerned in the
case to determine which are running
