Theodore Roosevelt, In an address be-
fore crowd that damned the Lyceum
Theater here today, declared that he
would never go back to" the Republic
can party. He said: II will never 60
back. The party must so forward.
Both old parties today are reaction

speech as an indirect reply to an In
cident that had occurred just before
he walked onto the platform.
DIR, Andrew D. White, former am
bassador to Germany, and close
friend OF Roosevelt, though he re-
mains a strong Republican. came down
to greet the colonel and remained
seated in the wings throughout tho Ad-
dress. The two men exchanged warm
greetings and the colonel thanked Mr.
White for his courtesy in coming dcwn
to see him. II wish you were In the
fight with u.s., said the colonel. You
ought to be. for you stand for what

Petersburg, Va. Oct. 22.--Several
trunk manufacturing concerns OF this
city have recently been asked to fur
nish estimates on the cost of large
number of eaddlebags for one of the
allied European nations 1t Is known
that both the Seward Trunk and Bag
Company and the r. G. Seward Lug
gage Company have put in bid or
furnished estimates for the contract.
All of the trunk manufacturers OF
Petersburg have endeavored for some
time to keep their factories running
despite the strinsency of the money
market and the poor demand for their
goods and should either of the com
panies receive the contract, which is
understood to be a large one, II would
furnish many employees steady work

he heads.
Another step taken by the conven-
ton. report of which was received
here today, is regarded as likely to
make further difficulties between that
body and Carranza The committee
has appointed a committee of five to
take charge of the five principal ex-
Hcutive departments of the Mexico City
government. In other words, without
consulting Carranza, It has apparently
selected a cabinet for him.
1t Is much doubted here whether
Carranza will accept these appo.ntees
of the convention. The opinion here
has been expressed that this action of
the convention Is but preliminary to
the naming of new head OF the
Mexico City government and there are
few who believe that Carranza will be
the conventions choice Should the
convention do this, and should Car
rama, following his present course, re-
fuse to recognize its right to depose
him, the stage will then be set for a
fresh struggle in Mexico.

ENGLAND DIRECTS
PROMPT RELEASE
OF OIL STEAMER
5 tandard Oil Liner Rockefeller
Free, but Two Others Held.
State Department Takes
Vigorous Action.

Washington, Oct. 22.--The
prospects of u serious controversy
between the United States and
Great Britain over shipping qucs-
ttons were largely dispelled with
the announcement by the British
embassy this afternoon that the
British government mad ordered
TIE release of the Standard Oil
ship John ID. Rockefeller, seized
OF The Orkney Islands while
carrying oil To Denmark.
rhis action came in prompt response
70 the vigorous protest OF the State
Department yesterday against the
seizure Of the vessel. ard requesting It's
Immediate release. Because of me
circumstances of the case il now seems
probable that the British government
will des.sa from any effort to prevent
shipments OF American oil in American
vessels reaching Denmark because of
It's suspicious that such cargoes are
ultimately to ind their way to The
German forces for use in It's ira MS
portaticn and air craft. Had this ap-
parent intention been persisted in
there Ii little doubt that a serious con-
troversy would have resulted, az the
United States government considers
suc'a seizures as thai Of The John ID.
Rockefeller as contrary to the rights
or American shippers and vessels. and
In violation Of the rules Of maritime
warfare.
Two Other Cases To Dispose or.
While there are stili two other cases
OF seizure of American oil ships Jet
undisposed Of. the grounds on which
these seizures were made were differ
ent so that less apprehension is ielt
as to their consequences The stand
ard Oh ship Brindilla is now held At
Halifax for trial before a prize court,
and the seizure of the Standard OIL
ship Platuria, off the Scottish coast,
has also been reported. In these cases,
however. the ships were formerly TN
der the German flag and 1t Is conceded
that Great Britain may feel she slas
grounds for proceeding against them,
because OF doubts as to the validity ii
the transfers to American registry.
The State Department. though has re-
fused 10 recognize the validity of the
ueizurc OF the Brindilla and today pro-
tested and asked Tor her release. 1he
seizure OF the Platuria has not yet

case will! prove similar to that OF the
