There Is no Place in Our Ranks for the Boss" He Declares, in Letter Repudiating Old Par ties and Declaring Un- equivocally for Perpet- uatiOn of Progressive Party.
He Wrecked the Repub- lican Party for Doing Wrong and Wrecked Progressive Party for Doing Right, Declares Noted Leader of Pro-
 gressive Movement in State. |

.i William H. Avis, noted as a |leader in the Progressive move ment, and for years a devoted follower of Colonel Roosevelt, has disclosed a startling lettep from Roosevelt, of very recent date, which emphasizes the sud- den reversal of the doughty col, ionel at the Chicago convention. The letter, which MT. Avis has authorized The Farmersto make public would indicate that the Colonel regarded as incurably 1il. the party of the special in- Iterests which to whose embrace he so suddenly succumbed. E While readers of The Farmer are perusing the speeches of Roosevelt, espousing the cause of Hughes, and the Grand Old Party, they will do well to keep |the colonel's, letter to MT. Avis well in mind.
 He wrecked the Republican party ! for doing wrong, and wrecked the Progressive party flor doing right, declares Avis, in lhis communication to The Far inner, which follows: N Editor of the Farmer:
 Through the medium of your paper, I wish to call the attention of Pro- lgressive voters everywhere, and espec- lially of those citizens who still remain loyal to the principles of the Progress sive party, to the new political admi- ration coterie which, according to la test press reports. is soon to meet in a political love-feast in one of our large eastern cities. This exclusive circle, 4 according to report, is to consist of Brother Theodore Roosevelt, Brother William H. Taft, and Brother Elihu Root. While it has not yet been an- lnounced whether or not Brothers Barnes, Penrose, Shoot, Crane, Gug- jgenheim and the rest of the "Old Guard which formed the Coloners pct ,menagerie of second story men," :'thieves," &c., will be on hand at the welding of the new amalgamation, still mo one will be surprised to hear that

panied, according to hotel employees, and went immediately to their apart ments.
 Shortly afterwards, guests on the same floor were startling by four shots and rushing into the hallway they met the woman, who is about 23 years old, staggering from her room with a bullet wound in her breast.
 She was screaming hysterically and it was impossible ,v secure coher- ent story from her. Graveur was found dead in one corner of his room and Mrs. Belzer, clutching the still sm oking revolver in her hand, in an- other.
 How Mrs. Belzer gained entrance to the apartments occupied by her victims is not known. Neither has ii been established from whence she came. The police theory. however. is that she had followed Graveurs to this city from New York Mrs. Belzer was about 25 years old.
 The police learned from a woman guest at the hotel that Mrs. Belzer waited a long while in the hotel cor ridor last night for Graveur and his supposed wife to return. Mrs. Belzer told this woman guest that she was Graveur's wife, that she had no key to get into. her room and that she was tired of waiting.

Instructions were sent to General Funston ordering him to select upon the arrival of these organizations at the border 10000 national guard in fantry now on duty there and return them to state mobilization camps.
 {Today's order will send south 5000 men, virtually all of the, guardsnen now in the mobilization camps of the states named and will leave only about 1000 state troops in all the country that have not seen service on the bor- der.
 Within short time the remainder will probably be ordered out, releasing more of the organizations. now under General Funston's command. The gradual return and mastering out of all the guardsmen is then expected to begin.

No motive for the tragedy has been established. The body of Mrs. Bel ger was identified. by Mrs Frances Apman, of New York, sister of Gra- veur, who came here with Graveur's business partner upon being notified of the murder.
 Mrs. Apman has not seen the com panion of Graveur, who lies in hos pital here with a bullet in her breast. Mrs. Apman says her brother was a widower. She may visit the hospital this afternoon to try\to identify the woman.
 MT. Apman told the police Mrs. Bel Zer's maiden name was Margaret Mo Candrews and that she had not been living with her husband recently. Graveur, she also told the police, had been very friendly with Mrs. Bel ger.
 From cards found in Mrs. Belzer's handbag the police at first believed she was Mrs. J. c. Le Dur, or Le Due. The wounded woman in the hospital, at first supposed to be Graveurs wife. has not made any statement.
 Graveur and his unknown com- panion motored to this city yesterday from New York, where they attended a theatre last night and re- turned to their hotel half an hour after midnight. They wore unaccom-

HE DODGES U. S. SHELLS

Flashes of searchlights and the
roar of ten-inch guns, coupled with
screaming shells, caused Captain Is.
sacsen Of the Norwegian steamer
Ragner to wonder what the Norwe-
gians had done to get Sin bad" with
Uncle Sam when his ship neared
Pensacola light Wednesday night
during the annual night target prac-
tice at Fort Pickens. The entrance
to Pensacola bay looked so much like
the war zone that Captain Issac.en
ordered his ship to turn her nose to
the sea and put back for a distance
of twelve miles out of range of the
roaring guns.
The Ragnar called at Pensacola
for orders and was off the bar wait
ing all of yesterday Captain 1ssac-
sen intended to anchor near the
shore Wednesday night but the war
like demonstration caused him to get
out of range for the night and come
in nearer Thursday morning. The
master came ashore in a ship run
ner's launch late Friday afternoon
and told of his unusual experience in
approaching peaceful port.
Colonel Davis, commanding the
local forts, gave notice of the night
target practice several days ago and
requested all masters of vessels to
display lights on all sides of their
ships if required to pass near the
danger zone. But when this order
was issued Captain Issacscn was on
his way from the Azores, and did not
know thing about the program he
was expected to carry out on nearing
acola.-Pensacola Journal.
