COL. ROOSEVELT
WON'T RUN IN 1916
Not a Candidate, Says William
n. Hotchkiss, of New
York.

NEW YORK, Nov. I.-William H.
Hotchkiss, ex-State chairman of the
Progressive State Committee in New
York, declared today that the Pro-
gressive defeat in State and nation
last Tuesday had not eliminated
Theodore Roosevelt as a candidate
for President in 1916. for the reason
that the colonel had no intention OF
running. Mr.. Hotchkiss is not opti-
mistic about the prospects for the
Progressive party's surviving the
shock of the election, but he believes
that the principles it stands for will
prove the dominating factors in
American politics by 1920.
IT know that Colonel Roosevelt will
not be a. candidate for President in
1916, and you can't eliminate a man
who isn't a candidate, said Hotch-
kiss, when interviewed at his Office at
55 Liberty street. 81 know that the
colonel has no idea Of running two
years from now, because he told me
within week after the election OF
1912 that he would not We discussed
together a number of men as possi-
bilitles for the Progressive nomina-
tion for President In 1916. The colonel
desires to occupy the position of a
philosopher and not of a potential
office-seeker."

KILLS BROTHERS
IN REVENGE FOR
LOSING HIS JOB
Blacksmith Shoots His Broth
ers-in-Law in Jersey City
and Makes His Escape.

Hpecial to the Evening Star.
JERSEY CITY. Nov 1.-THE police
are watching all outlets of the city
today for AT gustus Martin, forty-six
years old, of 76S Communipaw ave-
nue., who last night walked into the
blacksmith shop conducted by his
father-in-law, John Leonard. at 6ss
communipaw avenue, and shot and
fatally wounded his two sons, Ray
n1ond and George Leonard, twenty
one and twenty-three years old. and
then disappeared
Raymond died almost Instantly and
George expired In the City Hospital
several hours later.
viii Search River. s
The police OF Jersey City are
inclined to the belief that Martin
may have committed suicide by leap
ing into the Hackensack River. which
is less than mile from the scene of
the shooting. Their belief in this
theory is founded on the fact that
although they were on his trail tive
minutes after the murder they have
not obtained the slightest clue to
him. They claim that Martin could
have run along Communipaw avenue
to the Hackensack River and thrown
himself into the river. A search OF
the river will be made.
John Leonard, father of the muir
dered young men. operates two horse
snoeing establishments at Jersey City,
one at 253 Van Worst street and the
other. where the shooting occurred, at
SOS Communipaw avenue. The Van
Voorst shop was looked after by the
father and Martin and the two sons
ran the other shop. For the past few
days. the police have learned, Mar
tin had been drinking heavily and
was unable to work. Consequently
Raymond Leonard had been helping
fis father at the Van Worst street
shop.
Yesterday George Leonard. who was
alone in the Communipaw avenue
place, got busy and sent for his
brother. 1t Is supposed that Martin,
crazed by drink, had become infuri-
ated at his brother-in-law taking his
place in the shop with his father in
law and when he learned that the
Younger of the two brothers had gone
to the other shop went there after
him.
There was no one but the two
Leonard young men in the shop when
Martin entered, and just what took
place cannot be learned, as both the
brothers are now dead.
The police claim that George Leon
ard. before he was removed from the
blacksmith shop was able to utter
Gus Martin came into the shop, shot
my brother Raymond and then shot
me without any provocation and with
out any warning" He then lapsed
into Inconsistencies and remained
In that condition until he died a short
time later in the Jersey City Hospital.
John Leonard. father of the muir
dered young men, told the police last
night that his son-in-law had been
drinking heavily for the past few
days and had not been allowed to
work in the shop He supposes that
Martin became angry at his brothers.

MEAT RETAILERS
ADVANCE PRICES
TOPATRONS HERE

An increase of one or two cents per
pound on beef and lamb is in effect
on the meat market today The
wholesale price of beef, which at the
] opening of the week was quoted at
Is and Ia cents per pound. has jumped
to 10 and Is cents. Lamb, which had
been selling wholesale for II and Is
cents, cannot now be purchased for
less than 16 and IL cents. The retail
price will probably be likewise ef-
fected.
There was a rumor current today
that by Monday the prices would
Jump to 10 and 20 cents per pound,
but this local meat dealers say is not
we'll founded.
The closing of the Chicago stock
yards was advanced as one reason for
the raise in the price. while the gen
eral scarcity of lamb was given as
another.
Wholesaler Surprised.
Edward Kohen. manager of the
Morris Dressed Meats Company OF
this city, expressed surprise when told
of the reported raise in the price of
meats.
81 see absolutely no reason why
there should be an increase in the
price of meats at this time. There is
plenty of meat available.
1--WE are selling the best beef for
thirteen and fourteen cents whole
sale, while lamb is only bringing four
teen and fifteen cents. These are the
prices that have prevailed all week,
IL.
for a change"
When asked if he thought the clos
ing of the Chicago stockyards might
not affect the price of meats, Mr..
Kolren said: There are plenty of
other stockyards. l don't see why
that should make any difference"
Mr.. Kohen said there was no accu-
rate way to determine to what extent
the retail prices would be affected.
The retail price varies so much ac-
cording to the location of the butcher
and the circumstances of his GUS
toners. he said, that ii was next TO
impossible to figure out just what the
retail prices would be.
The head of another local beef
house, who refused to allow his
name to be used for publica tion, had
the following to say anent the re-
ported increase:
"Within the past few days the
wholesale price of meats has gone up
from one to two cents per pound. |
do not know whether the closing of
the Chicago stock yards had anything
to do with il or not. The prices of
meats are always varying, and there
is nothing very rmarkable in one
to two-cent jump"
When asked if 1t were true that the
wholesale price of beef and lamb
would Jump to 10 and 20 cents next
week, the meat dealer said that there
was no possibility of such a radical
increase. Meat he said, was plenti-
full. and there was no reason to ex-
pect a big jump.

FEDERAL AGENTS
GUARDING OVER
CATTLE PLAGUE
Widespread Quarantine Covers
Infected Herds-SIaughter
Only Remedy.

WASHINGTON, Nov. with the
Federal quarantine against the foot
and mouth disease covering prae-
tically every suspected cattle market
officials of the bureau of animal in
dustry today organized force of In
spectors to trace every shipment OF
cattle made from the infected area
during the last two months.
Officials believe the quarantine al
ready esta blished covers all herds al
present affected and that the strict
maintenance of quarantine and the
slaughter of infected cattle viii stamI
out the disease.
The bureau today had about I5(
agents in the field, tracing every head
of cattle that passed through the Chi.
cago yards in the past sixty days and
every railroad car used to transport
them.
With single exception, the agents
are destroying all herds where infec-
tion appears. The exception is the
national dairy show at Chicago, where
about 1000 of the best blooded breed
ing stock of the country are under
quarantine. Thirty -four cases have
been discovered in the show animals
but the department is endeavoring to
prevent the sacrifice of the entire
herd.
In all the States where quarantine
has been declared. state officials have
Joined with the Federal agents. In
several states local quarantines have
been established and it is expected
that States outside of the infected
area will generally prohibit the ship
ment of cattle from quarantined
States.
CHICAGO. nov. 7.--Men who have
grown up with the great Chicago
stock yards scarcely recognized the
place today, the first of the absolute
quarantine against the epidemic of
foot and mouth disease.
In all the vast acreage of cattle
pens, ordinarily marked by tossing
horns and eddies of sheep and swine.
there was little life save where mel
handling the disinfecting machines
waged battle against the germ Of
the costly malady-a germ so small
that 1t will pass through a porcelain
filter. The twenty-five miles of
streets and alleys We're snow white
with the lime spread over them.
For forty nine years. ever since the
yards were established, cattlemen
have been accustomed to the chorus
of the animals, the bleats, the bel
lowing and the grunts, which formed
a curious sound, warning the visitor
of his approach to the great packing
plants. The detonations of shot
guns emphasized the lack of usual
sound. One hundred and fifty MEM
bers of gun clubs were shooting
pigeons. which are numerous around
the pens. and which carry the germ.
Bad craftsmanship, however, pre-
vented much slaughter in this direc-
tion.
PITTSBURGH, Nov. For the
first time In many years no cattle,
hogs or sheep were received and no
quotations were announced at the
Herr's Island stock yards. Quaran-
tine against the foot and mouth dis
ease became absolute today, and al
activities ceased except those con-
neeted with the fumigation of the
yards.
II was said that packing houses
were well supplied with dressed meat
and butchers with cattle and high
retail prices were not expected un-
less the quarantine was continued
for considerable period.
