HENEY FLOPS BACK
T0G. O.P. RANKS
Californian Said to See No Fu-
ture for Bull Moose Or
ganization.
CANDIDATE FOR SENATE
AS REGULAR REPUBLICAN
Situation Affecting the Divided
Party Regarded by Leaders as
Somewhat Complicated.

The bottom has fallen out of the
progressive movement. I'm going to
climb aboard the republican band
wagon"
This-in effects the remark attributed
to Francis ]. Heney. the man whose red
hot speech at Chicago in favor of Roose-
welt will be remen bered as long as poll
tics live in America. Heney of Califor-
1912 presidential campaign, worked day
and night for the bull moose, whose red
bandana fiaunted side by side with
Roosevelt, is now ready to run for the
United States Senate from the state of
California, and according to California
congressman. who were interviewed at
the Capitol today. believes he will stand
no chance of election unless he runs as
a straight out-and-out republican.
His candidacy for the United States
Senate has been announced. but it is too
early to know who his opponents will
be. The significance of his declaration
that he will run as a republican is being
taken with great seriousness by regular
republicans, who believe that Heney has
no chance to flop back to the republican
flock after once having been so dyed-in-
the-Wool Tor Roosevelt
Beclouds the Issue.
Every time a politician of Heney's
prominence makes a move involving
Roo-evelt. the issue becomes more and
more clouded, and the lines of demarca-
ton become more and more tangled and
obscure. Republicans in Washington are
bent on an amalgamation Of some sort.
but they are not willing to accept ROose-
Welt as a leader. However If the people
should demand Roosevelt, there is no
telling what the leaders would do. AS
an Illinois republican said today:
I'm not for Roosevelt as republican
unless the people of the United States
clamOr for him-and if the people set
their minds on having him. then all the
professional politicians in the world
could not stop him.
Want to Know Where He Stands.
Progressives in Congress who have
made their beds and must therefore lie
in them are worried because they really
don't know where Roosevelt stands. The
progressives who came to Congress last
election seem to have the smallest
chance of any one to get back into the
republican party. because as pioneers
in q new movement they burned their
bridges behind them. There are one or
two. like Lafferty of Oregon, who have
one foot in each party, and may find a
way to wriggle back again, but the out
and-out pregressives who have declared
against amalgamatiOn, will probably
make a bold stand for a progressive
party again.
Republicans believe that they will have
much larger representation in the next
House. Some go SO far as to claim a
majority. That is regarded. however. as
pretty large claim.

DENVER, Col. September 27.-Dur-

All day yesterday Gov. Ammons was
besieged by citizens of mining camps
and by operators to send the militia
to the strike zone. Gov. Ammons de-
clared that he would depend upon the
local authorities and grand juries to
preserve order.
The first intimation of strike breakers

MUCH LOST MAIL DUE
TO|LLEG|BLE WRITING
Cards Issued Citing Necessity
of Making Addresses
Plainly in Ink.

That letter writer's and those who use
the mails generally may guard against
practices which may affect the delivery
Of their mail, and for the general in
struction of the public, the Post Office
Department has caused to be prepared
for distribution in letter carrier cities a
card showing a model form of address
and containing instructions as to how
to address and prepare a letter or pack
age for mailing
Sixteen thousand of these cards were
sent to Postmaster Merritt for general
distribution by letter carriers on their
routes. and the great bulk of them has
already been delivered, SO that the peo-
pie of Washington may know what to do
in future.
Much trouble is experienced in the de-
livery of mail matter. 1t Is said. because
the senders do not write the name and
address of the person in full for whom it
is intended. Authorizations, especially of
given names and of some states, some
times make correct delivery impossible,
it is said
"F. Smith Only Address.
For instance, complaint was received
recently that a letter addressed to f.
Smith had not been promptly delivered.
AS no street and number were given, the
delivering authorities were thrown upon
the city directory for a more complete ad-
dress. "F'' stands for a great many given
names, both of men and Of women, and
as there happen to be q great many with
as their first initial given in the di-
rectory, trials first with one and then
with another had to be made until the
correct addressee was found. Pa" and
VA" accepted abbreviations for Penn
sylvania and Virginia, also give trouble,
ii is said. especially when they are not
plainly written
The department asks senders of mail
matter to address it with ink; to write
plainly and in full the name of the per-
son addressed, and the street, number,
post Office and state Of the address. The
card which has been distributed warns
the public that more than thirteen mil
lion pieces Of mail matter were sent to
the dead letter Office last year. large
proportion of which could not be deliver
ed because of carelessness In writing ad
dresses.

Chairman Owen of the banking and

the hearings on the bill could be con-
cluded by the middle of next week.
Every one who has a right to be
heard, can be heard by that time" said
Senator owen.
On the other hand. enough witnesses
to consume two or three weeks of time
have already filed requests with the COM
mittee to be heard, and more requests
are coming In daily.
Other democrats on the committee and
in the Senate do not take the view of
be cut off short. They are anxious to
get all the light they can on the proposed
currency legislation 1t is believed that
a motion to end the hearings at any time
during the next week would be decisively
defeated in the committee.
Effort to End Hearings.
1t is believed also. however. that an
effort will be made during the next week
by President Wilson, Chairman Owen
and other supporters of the administra-
tion currency bill to get such a motion
through the committee.
The tariff bill, it is expected will be out
Of the way by the middle of the week,
and the President will be at liberty to
turn his attention to the currency meas
ure. 1t is believed that he intends to
take the matter up with Senators Hitch
cock, O'GOrman and Reed. the democratic
members of the committee who have not
taken kindly to the administrative bill,
or to hurrying the legislation along.

Gov. Sulzer tried to persuade con-
tributors to his campaign fund not to
testify against him, according to evil
dence adduced at his impeachment trial
yesterday.
He asked Duncan w. Peck, state su-
perfntendent of public works. who gave
$500 to the fund. to violate his oath on
the witness stand, in the event he
should be called to testify before the
Frawley investigating committee, Peck
swore. The governor, Peck asserted.

conversation, he said, was held in the

witness was examined by John B.

by the governor.

Made No Mistake, He Says.

Attorney Hinman. cross-examining
for the defense asked Peck il it were
possible that he could be mistaken
about "A single word that passed be-
tween him and the governor.
Not a word" Peck replied en-
phatically.
Peck, at the time of his contribution,
held his present position. but told the
governor. he said. that there Were no
strings" to the gift, and that he did
not feel that he was obligated to re-
appoint him. Peck was reappointed.
The governors attorneys gave indica-
tion of being completely confounded by
the testimony. None of them had the
faintest inkling, it was learned. that
such accusations We're to be brought by
the attorneys for the assembly man
ayers
1t was further brought out that Rich
ard Croker. jr.. son of the former leader
of Tammany Hall, had contributed "A
two-thousand dollar check. payable. at
the request of Sulzer, to the order of
"cash" and that the check was cashed
by Frederick l.. Colwell, alleged TO
have been the governors agent in his
Wall street transactions.

Wanted Cash in Hurry.

Croker testified that the governor
wanted the check in convenient form
to cash 1t Immediately. because he was
in hurry to start on his campaign trip
through the state. This was October
16, but 1T was developed that Colwell
did not cash the check until October 81.
The latter testimony was given by
William b. Houghton, paying teller of
the Equitable Trust Company of New
York, who said that Colwell was his
Sunday school teacher.
Demand for Colwell's production
brought out statement from the gov
ernor's attorneys that they expected
to get in communication with him to-
day He has been missing several

The Croker check was one of several
unreported campaign contributions
which were the subject of testimony.
John w. Cox, Thomas w. Brady. John
7. Dooling, j. Temple Gwathmey, Luit-
pold Mendelbaum and Judge Lewis j.
Conlan, all of New York, testified that
they had contributed checks or cash
ranging from 500 To $1,000. none Of
which was mentioned in the governors
sworn statement of campaign contribu-
tions.
Counsel for the defense fought des-
perately to gain from each witness tes-
timony that he had made the gift not
for the purpose of helping the governor
in his political contest, but TO aid him
personally.
Croker's Explanation.
When Richard Croker. jr.. told of the
$1,000 which he had given SuIzer and
which at Suffers request had been made
payable to cash. he said his father ana
Sulzer had been intimate friends and
that he wanted to relieve Sulzer ''of any

with the campaign or whatever expense
might come up the witness volunteered.
