I'll pay it."
McDale's eyes narrowed and he
pulled nervously at his cigar. He got

Says Not to Name T. R.
Is Crime Against Nation

William Hamlin Childs, the Brooklyn
Progressive, declared yesterday that "if
the Republican party managers permit
their personal animosity 70 thwart the
will Of the people it will be not only a
blunder, but in these times crime
against the nation" OF course, Mr..
Chids is for the nomination of Colonel
Roosevelt, and in long letter 20 Guy
Emerson, secretary Of the Roosevelt
Non-Psrtisan League, yesterday he tells
why he believes the Colonel is just the
man to cope with the present crisis.
a leader, not a trailer, is needed, Mr..
Hamlin asserts. Mr.. Roosevelt, he says,
has always been foresighted and has
always prepared for an emergency be-
fore it arose. His election would be OF
greater benefit TO the Republican party,
Mr.. Hamlin declares, than TO the Pro-
gressive party in the way Of practical
results. There is grave doubt OF the
ability Of any other candidate TO defeat
Woodrow Wilson, he says, so why, in a
crisis like this, take any chances?
Mr.. Childs writes as a business man,
not as a politician. He is president Of
the Coal Tar Products Company. He
SAYS that the tide Of Roosevelt favor Is
sweeping over the country.
III the delegates TO the June con-
ventions," he writes, will compare ex-
haustively all the qualifications Of all
the candidates offered and decide the
question solely on the matter Of the
fitness of the man for the job and the
sureness of his election their choice

part. Yet 10 was an accident, and I
see no ground for Furnishing him"
The Commissioner said DR.. Seward
Erdman, one of the staff Of surgeons
attached 20 the hospital, was in attend.
ance on Reilly. He was In good con-
dition. His temperature has not in
creased and the indications are that he
will recover rapidly, said the Commits
sioner.
At the hospital it was said no effort
would be made 70 probe for the bullet
for a week at least.
Deputy Police Commissioner Lord
Yesterday said that his investigation o.
the affair is completed and that Kilroy
was exonerated.
This news pleased all, especially
Mrs. Gertrude Kilroy, who waited up all
Saturday night and yesterday until 10
in the morning, when her husband
came home, half dazed from lack Of
sleep and worry.
Kilroy has an excellent police record,
with several bits Of heyoism 10 his
credit. On February 8, 1911, he was set
upon by a gang in East Seyenty-sixth
Street, in front Of 3l5, and assaulted.
The same gang the Sunday previous had
attacked another policeman, August
Hoyerke. who had 10 be taken 20 nos
pital. Kilroy captured the leader Of the
gang and held off the rest with his re-
volver until the reserves, summoned By
a citizen, arrived.
