REPLIES
TO ATTACK OF
Col. ROOSEVELT

Philadelphia. Pa. Oct. 2.-United
States Senator Bois Penrose issued a
formal statement last night In reply
to an address delivered by Theodore
Roosevelt at Washington (Progres-
sive) party rally here last night in
in which Colonel Roosevelt con-
demned political bosses" and had
said, 1.-THE men who have surrendered
their will and their Judgment into
the keeping of MIR. Barnes, or Mr..
Penrose. or Mr.. Murphy or Mr.. Sui
livan, are not fit to be free citizens
IN a free republic"
In his statement Senator Penrose
said in part:
~ cannot think that Mr.. Roosevelt
really means what he says when he
uses the timeworn and now some-
what threadbare phrases regarding
bosses. He really cannot believe the
people of Pennsylvania are SO stupid
as to be caught by these phrases un-
der the present circumstances in
view of the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt
has been delivered bodily into the
control of one of the most discred-
tied and notorious municipal bosses
who has ever appeared in American
politics.
For fifteen years | enjoyed Mr..
Roosevelt's confidence to an unus-
ual extent. supported him in all
his political efforts: and at time
when Mr.. Hanna and many others
were anxious to defeat him for the
nomination for the presidency. |
think, perhaps, was among the
foremost who were of substantial as
sistance to him in bringing about
his nomination and election as the
facts and correspondence with him
will show.
after he had solcmnly informed
me that under no circumstances
would he be a candidate for re-elec-
tion to the presidency, I felt 1t my
duty as a senator and Republican
to support Mr.. Taft who was then
president OF the United States. his
first nomination having been forced
by Mr.. Roosevelt upon the Repub-
licans of the country by the most
high-handed methods ever witnessed
in any national convention.
NO patriotic American can fail to
regret that Mr.. Roosevelt has per-
.mitted himself to fall so far from
his high estate. He had filled the
greatest office in the world. He
has seen fit to throw all this Slor-
ious and solendid opportunity ava,
and to belittle his fame by tainted
association with crooked municipal
contractor in Pittsburgh. His great
political career was based upon the
splendid national Republican party.
He is now in Pennsylvania promot-
ing Democratic candidates.

AUSTRIAN HEIR
VERY POPULAR
At Home

Vienna, Oct. LIN the time
since the tragedy by which the
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir
apparent to the Austro-Hungarian
throne. was removed by an assassin
in Bosnia, remarkable phase of the
changed conditions is, the wave of
popularity now raging about his
young nephew. who suddenly finds
himself confronted with the prospect
of soon being emperor of Austria and
king of Hungary. With the vener-
able Emperor Francis Joseph. now In
his eighty-fourth year. it is certain
the actuary cannot allow him a very
long lease on life.
As the new heir-apparent, Arch
duke Carl Francis Joseph, appears
already to have won more affec-
tiate regard from his people than his
In the hearts of many as his great
uncle enjoys. Everybody seems
proud of him and confident of his fu-
ture success as ruler.
At 27 years OF age he finds HIM
self with little more than military
training. He was only junior
,regimental officer when the news of
he will turn to statecraft and in
the time that may be allowed him
Itry to acquaint himself with foreign
land domestic affairs.
Archduke Carl Francis Joseph is
described as an officer through and
through. Tn his army work there
has been nothing of the archduke
about him He has worked and
and done his duty in every way
without any special consideration on
account of his high rank. Indeed he
would have been very much surprised
If anybody had suggested that he
should be shown any extraordinary
favors or preference.
He began as cavalry lieutenant
and was most popular among his
comrades who never felt that an i'm
perial highness and future monarch
was in their corps. He performed
his duties with the utmost exactness
and was just as puncti1ious In his
behavior to the senior officers as any
young subaltern. No duty was too
small He carried out the routing
work most carefully and when he
heard of his young comrades grum-
bling, would merely say. what do
you expect-orders are orders
Going later into the infantry. the
archduke has always looked back on
his service in the cavalry as the most
delightful time in his life. He was
proud to ride into new garrison
at the head of his squadron and It
was generally said In the regiment
that the officers in his squadron had
the best time of any. He was hos
pitable to high degree and none the
less 50 after his marriage with the
Princess Zita of Parma. who is just
as we'll liked as her husband.
| When she accompanied him to his
garrison she came as simple Junior
officers wife and not as an arch
duchess Sne went and called upon
the wives of all the officers senior in
rank to the archduke instead Of
waiting for them to call upon her.

y London, Oct. 1.--Whcthcr the
French are really using turpinite.
The newest war terror, reported to
be in possession of England's ally. is
. matter OF greatest speculation in
England. This new explosive, which
has aroused the greatest discussion
throughout the world, is declared to
De SO deadly in its effects that all
Nfe is cxterminated within radius
bf 400 yards of one of the exploding
shells. Regiments of Germans are
reported to have been found dead in
their trenches, their rifles still in
their hands, not q mark on their
bodies. but with the long line of
corpses standing as though In life.
The Daily Express declares that a
man known to the editor for years,
and who is generally well informed.
has written as follows concerning
turpinitc:
"The new explosive, invented two
years ago by NJ. Turpin, the parent
inventor OF Melinitc and lyddite. is
undoubtedly the most terrific and
most widely death dealing high
powered explosive ever known. So
lethal in its effect is the new ex.
plosive that should It's use become
widespread whole armies. indeed,
entire nations would be completely
exterminated In the course OF few
weeks. For this reason Its use is
probably prohibited by articles of
war. by the international Hague
convention. though NJ. Turpin him
self boldly claims this is not the
case
After telling of ~. Turpin's dislike
of the French war Offices methods
and his grievance following the gov
ernment's acceptance of melinite and

tells how Turpin set to work upon a

to perfect SO that as compared to

tically useless. He worked for years,

that she will assume her rightful
place as the first lady of the court,

duchess Maria Annunciata.
The emperor intends that the new
heir shall lose no time In taking his
place. In all probability the Arch
