BULL MOOSE PARTY DEAD.

The bull moose party as politi'
cal organization has ceased to exist.
The final end came on yesterday
when the national committee by a
large majority voted against contin'
uing the organization and endorsed
the candidacy of Mr.. Hughes, the nom.
inee of the republican convention held
at Chicago early in June.
It was expected that something de-
cisve would transpire at this meet
ing because, it was known that Theo:
dore Roosevelt would report his de.
cision to stand as candidate or not
for thes progressive; party. At the
time Of his nomination in Chicago he
refused to accept the nomination and
yet did not positively decline it and
said ;he would report his decision to
the committee when it met, on the
Goth of June in Chicago. 1t was at
this meeting on Monday that he made
his report and notified the committee
that he was unalterably in favor of the
candidacy of Mr. Hughes and would
support Mr.. Hughes during the cam.
paign. After his letter was read to
the committee, action was taken by
that body favoring the position sug.
gested by Theodore Roosevelt, and
the sentiment of the committee was

Improvement Of Rivers.

The removal of distractions in the

British Paper
Thinks Moosers

London, Nov. 1.-THE Manchester
Guardian attributes President Will
sons success to the rallying of a suf-
ficient number of the progressive
votes which Roosevelt gained in 1912.
1T seems small thing this news
paper continues, but yet It may indi-
cate a new epoch in American po-
litical life. The. progressive move
ment arose entirely Independently of
foreign politics, Many progressive
votes given TO Wilson are given with
the mental reservation that they will
not go again to democratic candi-
date unless Wilson confirms the faith
Of the progressives by consolidating
what is still only tentative. If he does
that he will have established himself
as the ablest statesman since Lin
coin and he may be destined to play
a part in the achievement Of peace,

Governor Goethals RetireS
From Army This Week

Washington, Nov. ll.---Major Cen
eral George w. Goethals, governor
of the Panama canal zone, will pass
into the retired list OF the army on
his own application, dating from No
vember IS, next. Army orders today
show President Wilson. has approved
his application for retirement after
forty years Of service.
The order OF retirement affects only
General Goethals' military status and
does not operate to relieve him from
duty as governor Of the canal zone,
but is preliminary to his retirement.
He probably will be succeeded by
Lieutenant Chester Harding, cngi-
neers corps, now acting governor.
General Goethals has been selected
by President Wilson as chairman Of
the eight-hour commission, which will
review the effect of the Adamson law.
1t has been understood that General
Goethals desires to free himself from
canal duties and rest before taking
up this new task.

London, Nov. 1.-THE American
steamer Columbian is believed to have
been sunk, according to an announce
ment by Lloyds.
1t was reported here on Wednesday
that the Columbian was sending out
wireless calls for help, saying it was
being shelled by a submarine. The
calls were picked up by Admiralty
stations. Nothing further, however,
had been heard of the Columbia un-
til tonight's statement from Lloyd's
shipping agency.
The crew of the American steam
ship Columbia has arrived at Corun-
ma, Spain, in lifeboats, says Reuters
dispatch from Madrid,
The Columbia is under American
registry and sailed from New York,
October l8 and Boston, October 81,
bound for Genoa. She was reported
as touching at St. Nazarie, FRANCE,
on November 2, leaving that port the
next day for Italy. The Columbia
is owned by the American-Hawaiian
Steamship company OF New York and
was built in San Francisco in 1907.
The vessel carried no passengers, but
had a crew OF abount 1l3 officers and
men. She was under charter by the

DEM LEADS IN NEW MEXICO

New York, Nov. 1.-THE probable
complexion of the Sixty-fifth con-
gress was further complicated today
by late returns from one close district
and a reclassification of the politics
of three members of the California
delegation. The count in the one
doubtful district, that in New Mexico,
is not yet complete, but the election
of Walton, democrat, is probable,
according to latest returns.
A reversal in the Tenth North Car
olina district, where complete re-
turns indicate the election of Con-
gressmen J. Britt, republican, by a
plurality of thirteen votes, broke the
tie which existed on the face of the
returns, Tor congress, up to last night.
A reclassification of til; politics of
three members of the elected Calfor-
MIA delegation, John J. Nolan in the
Fifth district, Everis A. Hayes in the
Eighth and Charles H. Randall in the
Ninth, in accordance with their polit-
ical designation in the Congressional
Record, also apparently was favorable
to the republican side.
The names of the three members
appeared on the republican and DEM
ocratic tickets, and Randall, i'll addi-
ton, was also on the progressive
ticket. In the returns as previously
announced two had been credited as
democrats and one as a republican.
The Congressional Record, however,
classes Nolan as progressive, Hayes
as republican and Randall as a pro-
hibitionist.
As result of these changes the
republicans from present indications
will have a small plurality i'll the
house, latest figures giving them 2l6
members, the democrats, 2l3, and
other parties, six.
There are a number of close dis
tricts where on the face of complete
returns members are apparently elect
ed by very small pluralities. The
Third New Jersey district, where
Robert Carson, republican, is appar-
entity elected by eleven votes over
Thomas J. Scully,. democrat, and pres
ent member of congress, is case in
point The official count next week
may change some of these close dis
tricts. r-"

Young Hebron Farmer
With Rent Money Lost

Grand Island, Nov. ll.-(Special

attached to the disappearance of Err

a police announcement today, Myers
came to this city about week ago
with a considerable sum OF money
with which he was to pay the rent
on a farm he occupies, the payee be-
ing Former Supreme Judge Harrison.
The rent being overdue, Judge Harri-
son wrote to Hebron, which fact led
to the discovery that Myers had left
Hebron a week ago today to come
here with the money. Apparently he
has not been seen there nor here
since that time. Myers is described
as man % years Of age, between ls5
