POLITICAL MOVE
Gives Evasivc Answer When Asked
If He Would Like to Hear
ProgrcssiycS.

WASH July lin reply
to Il letter from j. c. Parker Phil
adelphia magazine editor. asking n
he would accept the leadership of
Progressives of all parties. President
Wilson today wrote Mr.. Parker that
he had no jealousy of independent
political organizations, but believed
the Democratic party represented a
larger part of the progressive power
and thought of the country than any
other party.
The president wrote:
In answer to questions contained
in your letter | will say that for my
part, | have no Jealousy whatever of
independent organizations intended to
keep the Independent voters of the
country reminded of their obligations
and fully informed as to parties and
of the conditions under which their
votes are being solicited.
For myself | sincerely desire and
have tried to deserve, the support of
all progressive. forward looking men.
| believe, and | think that recent ex-
perience has confirmed the belief that
the Democratic party represents a
larger part of the progressive power
and thought of the country than any
other party and that it can be made
the instrument and is being made the
instrument Of leadership in the direc-
tion which all men who love justice
and progress must wish to take.
ut is for that reason that | am
proud to be its nominee and to have
the opportunity to lead it,"

ASSailant and Victim Had

TEMPORARY insanity superin-
L duced either by the intense heat

back of Frank j. Vollmer, former
president of the same concern, and
then turn the revolver on himself, in
the lattcr's office at Boulder and
Archer yesterday noon. inflicting
wounds which may result in his own
death. This was the consensus OF
opinion among witnesses " the affair
and among physicians who we're at
tempting to save the lives Of the two
men as they lay in adjoining wards
at the Tulsa hospital last night.
The shooting occurred while the i'm
mediate office was occupied by only
the two victims of the affair.
volmer was sitting at his desk when
Trnylor entered the "oom. Without
saying a word the assailant drew from
his pocket a snail calibcr revolver
and fired AS Vollmer sank forward
Taylor pressed the smoking weapon to
his own body and pulled the trigger
again. lie sank to the floor as his
victim cried out, MY Cod why did
you do it2"
Motorcycle Officer Nichols was the
first officer on the scene and i'm
mediately called an ambulance. One
of the men was taken to the hospital
in this vehicle, the other in a private
automobile. when it was found there
was not accommodation for the two
in the same ambulance.
Employees in the office of the
transfer company who were the first
to enter the office after the two re-
ports had caused them to realize
that something was amiss found Mr..
Vollmer bent over his desk. blood
from his wound spattered over the
back of the chair in which he sat
and forming in pool on the floor
beneath.
Mr. Traylor was lying prone upon
the floor He requested that Fred
Vincent, an employe who was the
first to enter the room, bring him a
drink OF water
"As | started to get the water"
said Mr.. Vincent, "Mr. Vollmer asked
Daddy why did you do this. Fred.
why do you suppose Daddy did this?"

With no sign of rain Tulsa sweltered
through another day with blistering
sun looking down from clear sky,
but the record established Thursday
was not broken and held steady
throughout the afternoon at lO2 de-
grees. 1t was said in the downtown
section where the high buildings shut
off the bree2es and the pavements
hold the heat that some thermometers
registered as high as 1l0 degrees
shortly after the noon hour.
1t is noticeable fact that the
streets are not nearly SO crowded dur
ing the past week as previously and
the few women shoppers who find il
necessary to venture out in the after
noon invariably go armed with par
asols
Not a few Tulsans are leaving the
city to get away during the height of
the heat spell to resorts and the cool
of the lakes.
The extended heat wave is showing
plainly on the corn, melons and GU
cumbers. 1t is said that rain must
fall within the next few days If any of
these are to be saved.
The forecast is for continued high
temperatures but no mention of rain
is to be found
Rain fell yesterday at Kansas city
and in southern Kansas breaking a
heat wave that had held the city
