PINCHOT Is CHAIRMAN

New York. Oct. 3-A Bull Moose herd
800 strong gathered atop the New York
roof garden tonight TO bid farewell for
a. brief time to Col Theodore Roose-
Welt on the eve or his departure for a
lecture and hunting tour OF South
America. Several hundred of those
present had come thousands of miles to
be present at the dinner, and the dele
CATION from Alaska was. next to- the
Colonel. the main attraction of the even
ing.
Among those who sat at the speaker S
table were Clifford Pinchot. POSTMASTER;
Albert ]. Beveridge. former Senator from
Indiana: and Collector OF the Port, John
Purroy Mitchell. Mayoralty candidate on
the/Fusion ticket.
Roosevelt confined himself in his speech
almost entirely to a setting forth of the
problems now before the Latin-American
countries which directly bear upon the
United States. He left this topic for a
moment to attack the bosses of New
York and to speak a word concerning the
necessity OF direct primaries.
Defending his action in the Panama
Canal dispute, Col. Roosevelt said:
The course of events reluctantly
forced upon me the conviction that the
then owners of the isthmus were pro-
Ceeding in bad faith toward US and with
both folly and prospective bad faith to-
ward outsiders. We were faced by the
likelihood of seeing a great and formid
able old world power forced to take pos
session of the isthmus and itself under
take the work of building the canal II
I had not acted precisely as l did and
at the precise time / did there would
have been no canal today.
Il never said that / would refuse to
run the risk of shedding a drop Of blooa
to protect American property"

Speaking Tour of Militant Leader.
New York, Oct 3-Clouds are begin
ming to gather on the hitherto clear
skies with the approach OF the date of
arrival of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst.
The murmurs are beginning to grow in
disapproval, because, some think, the
visit of Mrs. Pankhurst may hurt the
cause in this country.
Mrs. o. II. 2. Belmont, whose guest
the English leader will be in this city,
today declared her belief that the visit
would be a help.
1T will stimulate activity here" said
Mrs: Belmont. "It is true that New
York men have guaranteed Mrs. Pank-
hurst 81 800 for her New York meeting
on October 19, but this money goes to
the British cause, not to Mrs. Pankhurst
She also has been guaranteed 10 per cent
of the receipts up to $4,000 and 60 per
cent Of the receipts above that figure"
Among the points on Mrs. Pankhurst's
itinerary are: Buffalo, October a; Ceve-
land, Ohio, October 26; Dayton. Ohio,
October Is; Louisville, or Nashville. Octo-
Der 81; Chicago. November .; Hartford,
Conn, November IS: Boston, November
Is; Philadelphia, November is, and Bal
timore, November 19.
Mrs. Pankhurst will deliver about
twelve other addresses.
