Justice Wright would forbid that

OYSTER BAY, July 25.-Colonel
Roosevelt today announced his plans
pending the bull moose convention at
Chicago
The colonel will arrive In Chicago
August 5, the opening day and that
night he will deliver his declaration
Of principles. 1t is known that Roose-
velt has been at work on his speech
for several days. 1t will begin with
Thou shalt not steal and It's pero-
ration will be: "The people shall
rule"
1t will contain the coloners views
on all the topics covered in the con-
vention call issued several weeks ago
by Senator Dixon. Colonel Roosevelt
has not yet made known any details
OF the second trip to Chicago but he
has made 1t plain that he will be on
the job from the opening gun until
the finish and the bull moosers are
not anticipating any ennui at their
August convention.
Bryan Is No Moose.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 25.-William
]. Bryan has no faith IN the progress
siveism of Theodore Roosevelt. In a
Commoner editorial today, the bull
moose leader is described as reac-
tionary who Is not worthy of the sup
port either OF democrats or progress
sive republicans. In part Bryan
says:
"But Mr.. Roosevelt's errors are not
to be wondered at His whole bias If
wrong. He is more Hamiltonian than
Hamilton himself. No public man
since the government was formed has
treated constitutional limitations sc
contemptuously
Can he lead the progressive repub.
licans to the extreme that he repre-
sents? Did he not show by his con
duct at Chicago that he Is more In
terested in obtaining the office fol
himself than in advancing reforms
He could have nominated any one oi
a number OF progressives-why did
he refuse to stand aside? Is there nc
other person big enough for such q
swollen presidency as he would ere
ate? If so, does not this show the
danger of enlarging the powers of the
executive as he desires to enlarge
them?
The democratic platform contains
more progressiveness that the people
are ready to accept, and Governor
| Wilson can be trusted to carry ou1
the platform. Mr.. Roosevelt stands
| for number of progressive policies
popular election Of senators, income
! tax, regulation Of railroads and pub
!, licity, for instance. but these things
are practically secured, and the dem
ocrats have done much more than Mr.
Roosevelt to secure them.
"On questions now before the ma
tional government, such as tariff
trusts, national Incorporation and i'm
perialism and the third term, Roose
| welt is wrong. On these subjects be
is reactionary and cannot secure 6
following among democrats-he car
hardly hope to hold progressive re

WAUSAU, Wis, July 25.--The

Revised estimates place the loss at

UNIONTOWN, Pa. July 25.-The

three more victims, according to Fire
Boss William Stevens Of the Lamont
mine today.
Stevens said that more than hun

mont mine when the rising waters
flowed into the diggings yesterday.
Ninety-one men escaped and sever
al others have been accounted for but
three of the men are dead, 1T is prac-
tically certain.
i Estimates by mining experts today
were that 1t would probably be two
months before the dead bodies Of ths
fourteen miners in snperba mine No
2 will be recovered. 1t is thought
that the rushing waters swept the
men possibly 1000 feet back into the
boreings.
