Chicago, June 2o.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt tonight in
dicated that under certain condi-
tions he might withdraw from
the Republican party to take the
lead in the formation OF new
party. eff the people want pro-
gressive party, I'll be in it, he
said.
Some of the Colonel's support
'ers urged their associates to-
night to precipitate the crisis in
the Republican National Con-
vention at the earliest oppor-
tunity-to-morrow. More con-
servative counsels finally pre-
vailed, and it was decided there
should be no bolt from the
regular convention. 1t was the
plan OF the Roosevelt delegates
tonight to make their last stand
ION the report of the credentials
committee. Ii the seventy-cight
delegates claimed by them to be
fraudulent are seated. the Roose-
welt forces will remain in the
convention until the end, but
will not vote. 1t is their plan
then to proceed to the no.nina-
ton of the Colonel in the Coli

him
Not Definitely Committed.
Colonel Roosevelt has not def.
nitely committed himself to the
latter part OF this plan He is con,
sidering the advisability of delay
ing action for several weeks and
then to summon an entirely new
convention. This would not be
held until after the Democrats
have acted in Baltimore.

phatically tonight that he would
make the independent fight for
the presidency if he was con-

SUNFLOWER SEED FOR HENS
Russian Variety Is Most Prolific for
Furnishing Good Quality of
Rich Oil Feed.

For poultry the Russian Sunfower is
the most prolific variety. Sow seed
early in June. The sunfower is a
profitable crop to grow for furnishing
good quality of rich oil feed to take
the place of cottonseed or fiaxseed
meal Sunfower seed is used in all
the poultry mixtures now sold in the
markets
The sunf1ower is a hardy plant, a
vigorous and rapid grower, and a
good plant to grow not only for it's
seeds, but also for its bright. beauti-
full yellow blossoms. The plant, when
in full bloom, makes a good food for
honey bees. Have the ground deeply
plowed and thoroughly mellowed. The
ground should be rich TO grow large
heads full Of seed. Mark the rows off
three feet apart and three inches deep.
Drop two seeds to the running foot.
When plants are up thin out the stand

lar man has bucked up and within a
comparatively brief period changed
the personnel of the sailors to as fine
as that Of any in the world
Here is an example worth repeating.
Six years ago an officer, who is now on
board the cruiser Washington, was in
charge Of liberty party Of $50 men in
New York who had shore leave for
twenty-four hours. At the expiration
OF that time less than half of them
were in fit condition to return to the
ship. They had gotten themselves
into all sorts of trouble Last summer
the same officer took an equal number
OF men ashore at New York. 1t was a
liberty party in exactly the conditions
OF the previous one. But it served to
illustrate what a change had taken
place in the navy in these compare
lively few years. Every man returned
to the landing at the appointed time
Instead Of passing their time brawling
about, as had been the fashion in the
time before, 1t was ascertained that
these men had attended theaters and
gone to the museums-in short had

red-blooded citizen might who had

Baby Finger Prints System Favored

IF an increase in the number of aban-
I doned infants in the city should oc-
cur. it is more than likely that there
will be adopted by the district au-
thorities a system of finger print
identification of all infants born in
public institutions. Such a system is
now in use in New York, and other
cities are contemplating it's adoption.
The results have proved encouraging.
The system has the Endorsement of
DR.. William G.. Woodward, district
health officer, and George s. Wilson,
secretary of the board of charities.
The only thing which stands in the
path OF the adoption of the finger print
Identification system in the national
capital is the small number Of cases
Of abandoned children. 1t is hardly be-
lieved that the number would justify
the introduction of the scheme, which
would entail the expenditure of rath-
er large amount of money.
THE plan Is an excellent one," said
DR.. Woodward. "It has been given an
extensive trial In New York city. Re-
ports OF the experiment as made pub
lie in recent numbers of certain maya
zines show that the system is a sue
cess"
