A BIG SEND-OFF FOR
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Crowds CheCred as Started to South America-"We Go Bearing a Mes sage of a Newer and Greater
 Democracy" He Said.

New York, Oct. 4.-Theodore Roosevelt set out today for the sec ond time since he left the White House, upon a long journey into the southern hemisphere, on the steamship Van Dyck. He and his party were astir early with final preparations for embarking, and many of the Progressive party leaders who rendered him a fare well dinner atop of a New York theater last night, were on hand to give him : good send-olf. The pier was crowded and cheers went up as the ship sailed.
 Like his East African trip, the South American journey is under taken with the colonel proposing to make it one of many aspects aside from the pleasure of it. His chief intent probably lies in the proposed penetration of the interior of Bra gil with a party of fellow-naturalists under auspices of the American Museum of Natural History, but the earlier part of the six months which he will spend in South America will be devoted to address es upon American democracy, which he has been invited to de- liver before universities and other bodies. A trip into Patagonia to visit an out-of-the-way mission and the crossing of the continent to Santiago De Chile and back to Buenos Aires will be other freq lures of his journey.
 We go to carry to our brothers of the South a message concerning the ideals of a newer and greater democracy, which have come into being among us,' said Roosevelt on embarking.
 Those who embarked with him today were Mrs Roosevelt and Miss Margaret Roosevelt, who will make the round trip on the Van Dyck; Anthony Fials. the polar explorer. who has charge of the expeditions equipment; G. K. Cherry and Leo L. Miller. naturalists of the Ameri- can Museum of Natural History; Frank Harper, Colonel Roosevelts secretary, and the Rev. Father John Augustine Zah, provincial of the Order of the Holy Cross.
 The naturalists will start into the interior shortly after their arrival in Brazil, to be joined by the col onel after he has finished his lee lures, which will be in December. It will probably be April before the party returns to civilization.

CONSTABLE JONES
 OUSTED FROM JOB
Little Rock Officer Arrested on Bench Warrants Charging Malfeasance, Bootlegging and Operating Blind
 Tiger-Great Rush for Place.

Little Rock, Oct. 1 Special = Thirty minutes after Constable w. A. Jones had been arrested on bench warrants from the Pulaski Circuit eourl charging him with malfea- sance, bootlegging and operating a blind tiger, the office of Governor Hays was swarmed with applicants for the appointment,
 Constable Dutch Jones was sus- pended from office as soon as the grand jury had returned the indict- menls. and upon his arrest gave a bond of $500 III two cases and S250 in the other, all signed by Will Akers and F. T. Vaughan. his at 5Rrneys.
 The indictments allege that on July g Constable Jones operated a blind tiger on the steamer Grand which was under his control at that time He is charged with refusing to arrest Jim Avery, who was sell ing liquor on the boat on that day, or 1o stop him. although the matter was called to his attention. For this he was indicted for non-fea- sance. The third indictment charges Jones, together with Jim Avery, in selling one pint of whis- key, enc pint of ale, one pint of wine and one pint of beer This crime is alleged to have been com mitied June 20.
 Service was secured on the in aictmeut about two o'clock and the rush to secure the appointment as acting constable began. Jones be- gan his fight to regain control of She office at the same time, and sent messages to a number of points in an effort to locate Gov. c. w. Hays He asked that a close personal Friend be appointed to the office.
 Governor Hays spent Tuesday in Marion attending the St. Francis Bevee mass meeting and could not be reached by the applicants for the gffice.
 The office of constable in Little Rock is a very lucrative one, it be- mg sustained by fees, and an active nan can get rich on these in a few years.
 Jones will ask for an early trial, which will no doubt be granted him, 5ut there are rumors that his trou- ales have just begun, for the grand 5ury is still considering evidence in Transactions in which he has fig Hred and will probably return in aictments of a more serious nature against him. The blind tiger charge is felony, under the recent act of She legislature, and if convicted, Jones will stand a chance of going 50 the penitentiary.
 Grand juries of the past few serms have spent considerable time m going into the records of Con- stable Jones. and he had rather a strenuous time in circuit court fol- Sowing his duel with Patrolman Will Campbell in the red light dis erict in which Campbell lost his life.
 Mrs. Nettie Johnson. captain of She Grand and the only woman pi- l0t carrying a license. and w. A. Johnson. Charles Ensley and Jim Avery are named as the witnesses against Jones in the indictments re- Burned against him.

WOULD DIVIDE
 UP AMERICA
South America Is Coveted by Ger manS-A Diplomat Suggests Civ ing United States All North
 of the Canal.

Berlin. Oct. A novel interpre-
 tation of how the Monroe Doctrine should be applied after the com pletion of the Panama canal has just been voiced by a German diplo- mat of authority and high position In substance it is to give the United States full control as far south as the isthmian waterway, but to let the countries of Europe, including Germany, have a free field from Panama to Tierra del FuegO.
 May Influence German Policy.
 The high standing of this diplo- mat may reasonably be expected to influence the standpoint of Ger many in any future controversy in volving the famous doctrine of American foreign relations; conse- quently his views are not without a certain interest.
 He would cut the American con- tinent in two at the Panama canal and allow 10 the United States full and free hand as far south as that waterway. but exclude them from the sphere of any Washington su- pervision or control the relations of Germany and the other Euro pean powers. with the states of South America. He believes Ger many should refrain from any in terference whatsoever in Mexico, and that the same rule should ap- ply to all the Central American states.
 End to the Monroe Doctrine.
 This would involve a virtual eX- tension of the southern boundary of the United States to the canal, so far as the relations of these states to the European powers is concerned. This, it will be seen, is the Monroe Doctrine for Central America in an even stronger form than is at present enforced.
 But the European states must and should, this diplomat believes, be allowed to settle their contrO- versies with the countries south of this line in their own way and without reference to Washington. The role of the United States as guardian and protector of the whole continent is, he believes, a thing of the past; the South American states have reached years of dis cretion; they are out of the legiti- mate sphere of control of the Department of State; the countries of Europe are entitled to insist on a free hand in their rola- lions with them.
