Oyster Bay, June, 7.-While Colonel
Roosevelt refrains from making any pub
lie statement, officially disclosing his real
attitude toward the political situation in
Chicago it is wen known to his intimates
here that he is opposed to the nomination
of Justice Hughes and it is their conf
dent belief that if Hughes is nominated
Roosevelt himself will be candidate.
Roosevelt and his secretary remained
beside a private telephone wire between
Sycamore Hill and the Progressive head
quarters at Chicago the greater part of
the night. Roosevelt said to-day he had
no statement TO make except that he
was neither for nor against any candi.

PURO'S REMAINS
IDENTIFIED AND
GIVEN BURIAL
Quarryman Apparently Was on His Way
from Graniteville to Concord, N. H., on
May 26 When He Met His Fate as
Revealed By Finding of Body in
River Yesterday.

Identification of the body given up by
Stevens branch yesterday at point Just
below the Trow & Holden dam was com.
pleted late in the afternoon when An
drew Winner, Graniteville quarry work
er, recognized in the misshapen features
OF the face and the distorted figure a
man named Adolph Puro, who left Mill
stone hill May 25. Upon examining per-
sonal effects found in the mans pocket
Mr. Winner was convinced that his first
conclusion was correct. The clothes worn
by Puro when he left Graniteville tailed
with the garments stripped from the
body yesterday.
Although no doubt remains as to the
identity Of the man, the circumstances
leading up TO his death will probably re-
main a mystery. According TO Mr.. Vim
ner and compatriot, Puro left Granite
Vile on the afternoon OF May %. He
left his trunk at the Winner home, say
ing he would send for it ii his new en-
yironment in Concord, n H., should prove
He left Graniteville with a
stranger, Mr.. Winner told the authorities,
and as he had not heard from his de-
parting Doarder, he inferred that he had
gone to Concord as originally planned.
While reluctant to accept any theory OF
foul play in connection with the discov-
cry OF the body, Winner was at loss to
iccount for the presence Of the stranger
IS the pair left the hill and of his where
abouts now. Puro, his friends said, was
of reliable sort, thrifty and of good
habits. Recently he had sent much Of
ais money to Finland, the land OF his
nativity.
The records at the Office of Sec. f. w.
suitor of the quarryworkers' internation-
i association show that Puro joined the
lnion in Milford, Mass, in 1913, soon aft |
r he came to America. Puro was around |
z years old and unmarried and had no |
elatives in America
To-day inquiry at the Central Vermont |
tation developed the information that
nan whose signature on the baggage slip |
'illing a valise TO Concord, n. H., re-
embed Puro's autograph as it appears
a the Socialist due book found on his
erson, checked his grip to Concord on
he night of May 26. Louis Bruya does
ot recall the appearance of the man
rho signed the baggage slip, as a large
lumber OF Barre Town paving cutters
'ere leaving for Concord and Milford at
hat time Should the surmise that Puro
hecked his baggage that night and then
III the station, intending to return in
me to catch the midnight train, prove
ne, then the disappearance of his bag,
hich is probably in Concord by this
me, will have been accounted for.
Permission was given the authorities

lmber OF Finnish people from Granite

aims from A. w. Psdger & Co.'S under !

CALLS ROOSEVELT
"MAN OF THE HOUR"
Raymond Robins of Chicago Opened Pro-
gressive Convention with Keynote
Speech of the Bull Moose
PARTY

Chicago. June THE keynote address
of the Progressive party's national con-
vention here to-day, delivered by Ray
mond Robins OF Chicago as temporary
chairman, asserted in vigorous terms:
|. That the Progressives will stand by
the announcement made by the national
committee last January that the party
will join the Republicans il the latter
nominates for president a man true to
Progressiyes principles;
2. That the principle, however, is
greater than the party, and if need be
the Progressves will 20 on alone;
3. That preparedness is the para
mount issue of the campaign; and
4. That Theodore Roosevelt is the
man of the hour.
"What this country needs now is a
man. announced Mr. Robins. In the
course of his speech he said: Now as we
are met again in national convention
there comes to us once more common
knowledge that in 1912 we sounded forth
a trumpet that shall never call retreat
And we know that we are here to write
record that shall witness alike to the
faint hearted and the skeptical and to
the great army still faithful to the cause,
that our vision is vet undmmed and
that our standards have not been furled.
"But the nobest common heritage of
America is not her natural wealth nor
are her best traditions found in the
of her commercial greatness.
We may well confess that under other |
flags, even under other national ideals, |
American ingenuity, industry and cour
age might have achieved greater material |
welfare for all her. people and with her
vast natural resources she might well |
have done away with that grinding pov
erty that is now unknown in many less
favored lands. We may take just pride
in the lesser achievements of our people
in developing the physical resources Of a
continent, but not there lies the true
greatness of America.
Selfish business and politics never
listed in the assets of America her most
possession, the priceless heri-
age which alone is worth the sacrificial
'ost of preparedness to defend against
he world-her democratic soul. In this
line il should be all too plain that we
tand alone among the great nations not
dominated by the ideal OF Caesar We
ave our ruthless master men, confident !
i their right and ability to rule their
ellows, but they do not rule MS yet
"We gather to determine our program !
o meet the practical needs for national
ction in this time of havoc and horror
n other lands And it is well that we I
hould approach our task with the vision :
I better day. We may well resolve !
hat no worse day, with havoc and hor- |
Or in our midst, shall be known to us or
0 the coming generations and that we
hall wisely plan to preserve in peace q
ur great inheritance"

BOLT ON SCUTTLE BILL
FINDS PRESIDENT FIRM
Wilson Determined to Force
PHILIPPINES Measure Through.


Washington. April 2e.-Despite the
refusal Of twenty-eight Democratic
members Of the House to vote for the
Philippines scuttle bill. President Will
son is more determined than ever to
put the Senate bill through the House
without amendment, according to per-
sons who talked with him on the sub
iect to-day. Administration leaders
who favor the bill were much encour-
aged by the attitude Of the President,
in the face of a bolt which seems to
insure defeat
The fight will come on Monday,
when a rule will be brought in from
the Rules Committee, sllotting a GER
tain number of hours Of debate before
the final vote. The rule will be
most liberal one, it is stated, in that
it will permit any sort of amend
ments. but the plan is to force through
the whole discussion on the one day.
To make this possible, the House will
meet at II o'clock, an hour earlier
than usual.
Indications are that the prohibition
amendment will be retained in the
bill. not because it is wanted. but
because it would be impossible to get
a majority Of the House to vote
against it.
