with him, Immediately rendered such
assistance as was necessary, ana the
boy was carried at once TO the ProVi-

that he would buy him "a nice new
wheel"

CURE LOST WITH MONKEY
Simian with Fatal Disease Miss
ing at Johns Hopkins.

Baltimore, oct. A small monkey,
which scientists Of the pathological de-
partment Of Johns Hopkins Hospital
believe holds the key to the solution or
n rare and fatal disease. mysteTiously
disappeared from it's cage in the Hun
terian Laboratory yesterday. and no
trace OF It has yet been discovered.
Whether the animal was stolen or
escaped and intelligently closed and
fastened the door behind 1t remains
as much a mystery as the ailment with
which It was believed to have been in
oculated and from which there have
been five deaths at Johns Hopkins Hos
pital in the last year.
Dr. Harry Schmeisser, who has been
making the experiments, said to-day
that he did not believe the animal could
communicate the malady to human
beings. Physicians and scientists all
the world over. it was declared, have
tried, without success, 10 transmit this
disorder to some Of the lower animals
for the purpose of study.

Colonel Roosevelt, with his party Of

but it was not the same sort of throng

his African junket on March %, 1909.
Those who were present on botn oc-
casions observed that it was not the
same strenuous Roosevelt of 1909 who
went aboard the Vandyck yesterday.
Everything suggestive OF the lime
light or the spectacular was conspicu-
ously absent. There was no Rough
Rider Uniform for the eye TO follow
through the crowd; no profuse and un-
tiring handshaking bouts such as oc-

Colonel" said one of the men. be
fore you go away we would like to
clear up the facts Of a story circulated
within the last few days that the Pro-
eressives had sought to make a deal
with the Republican relative to the
Endorsement OF Judge Werner"
We'll" replied the colonel. II am
row glad that you have mentioned
that. | did not intend TO say anything
about il. In fact, | would not have
said a word about II had II not been
for the fact that Judge Werner's
friends brought up the charge that |
offered TO try to get the Progressive
convention to indorse him for the Chief
Judge of the Court OF Appeals.
Now. this is the situation: Judge
Werner told MIR. Stern. OF Rochester,
who told Teddy Robinson that he
lJudge Werner) had changed his opin-
ion about the Ives case, or the work
irgman's compensation decision, and
that If he had the decision TO give over
again he would give 1t differently.

phone and told him 1t did no good to
make that statement privately, but
that II he would announce II publicly |
would do my best to get the convention
+, indorse him. lie declined to make
the statement public, and that is all
there is to it,"
The next question asked Of the
colonel brought forth with vigor the
declaration that William Barnes. Jr.,
chairman of the Republican state Com
mjttee. was a natural and habitual

Little Time for Cameras.

The cameras and moving picture ma =
chimes appeared 10 have little interest
or charm for Mr.. Roosevelt. When
urged he walked out before them to be
obliging, and then requested that the
camera men not annoy him while ne
talked with his friends.
when the Hamburg left Hoboken on
that raw March morning four years
ago the colonel and hts son Kermit
took their places on the bridge with the
late Captain Bauermeister and re-
mained there waving 10 the floating
convoy Of friends until the latter were
left astern in the Narrows. When the
Vandyck backed out into the stream
yesterday every one on the pier was
looking for the colonel but he was not
on deck. Some one thought they saw
him on the bridge, but no one was
there except Captain Cadogan and the
pilot.
The cOloners departure was modest
from beginning to end. He arrived at
the pier at II: 40 a. m, and was met by
W. w. Geddes, superintendent OF the
line, who escorted him 10 the gang
plank. Here he was turned over to
Port Captain Wheeler. who accom-
panied him to the deck, where Captain
Anthony Cadogan received him and,
with Lorenzo Daniels, took him TO the
Roosevelt suite Of rooms.
The colonel wanted 10 put his house
in order at once. and after arranging
his room baggage he faced the report
ers and smiled.
