T. r., HUGHES, MCCALL
CARRY MOOSE HOPES
The Colonel Leads, but They Would Ac-
cept Either of the
Other Two.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE Tribune prints
the following
Progressive party generals who par
ticipated in the national committee con
ference here last Tuesday and who joinac
in requesting the Republican steam roller
marshals to prepare the "fatted calf,
have three presidential possibilities in
view, any one of whom will be satisfac-
tory to them.
Some of the details of the session were
learned from inside sources Saturday.
They are in the order of their prefer
ence:
Theodore Roosevelt.
Justice Hughes of the supreme court.
Gov Mccall of Massachusetts,.
Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman could
be nominated by the Republicans without
entirely reducing the entente cordiale to
a mere scrap Of paper The Illinois fla
vorite son" labored cheek by jowl with
Col. Roosevelt men. Then he elected
to stand with his party and in refusing
to follow the Progressives in the cam
paign incurred the displeasure of Col.
Roosevelt.
Col Roosevelt, the delegates said, was
their first choice, and to nominate him
in the Republican convention, they said,
would bend their energies. 1t was as
certained that the entire personnel OF
the true blue Roosevelt encourage will
improve from now on, with an elaborate
plan that contemplates stampeding the
Republican convention for him.
The second choice of the Moosers, ae-
eording to the undercurrent gossip dur
ing the recent conference, is Justice
Charles Evans Hughes of the United
States supreme court. His nomination
also would cement the reunion of the
parties and do it completely, they said.
Should Roosevelt and Hughes be elm
mated then they would not make wry
face if Gov. Mccall of Massachusetts, |
should be nominated.
The Mccall boom was given a fresh |
impetus in the weeks conferences staged /
by George W. Perkins. In the recent /
scrap in the old Bay state
t is estimated that fully IS per cent of
he Progressives, who voted for Roose-
selt in 1912 got behind Mccall. This
vas achieved largely by Mccall and his
Incorporating in their plat

BARRE BOWLERS
WERE OUTROLLED
Manchester, N. H., Team Took Every
Match in Exhibition Game Rolled
in Barre Late Saturday.

Standing room was at n premium at
the Merlo alleys Saturday afternoon and
evening when an enthusiastic crowd of
bowling fans gathered to watch series
of three bowling matches between the
crack Manchester, N. H., team and a
team representing Merlo's academy.
Mute, former Barre boy, and McQues-
ton, who will be remembered as former
ly one of the strongest rollers in Mont
pelier, were in the lists for the visitors.
The afternoon match was a two-men
team contest and was won by the visit
ors with l3l-point margin, the score
being Manchester 2049 and Barre LOIS.
Two matches were rolled in the evening,
two-men l0-string match won by the
visiting team by score of 2,ll0 to 2,Ol9,
and a hve-men three-string match also
won by the New Hampshire team with
a lead of 50 pins. Score; 1869 to ,4sT.
McQueston of the visitors secured the
high single string total in the five man
match with a score OF 1870, and Davidson
the leading three-string total with
score of 342.

More Than 700, 100000 Acres
of Public Lands Thrown
Open to Lease
BILL PASSED WITH
OUT A R0LL-CALL
Second Administration Con-
servation Measure Adopt
ed Without Roll-Call

Washington, Jan. l7.--The second o
the administration conservation meas
ures, bill under which more than 700,
100000 acres OF public lands would b.
thrown open for lease by private inter
ests, passed the House Saturday without
rollcall Immediately afterward the
640-acres homestead bill was taken up
with prospect that it would be passed
early this week.
Opposition to the land lease bill was
confined chiefly to far western represen-
tatives, as in the case of the waterpower
leasing bill passed last week. Led by
Representative Mondell of Wyoming, a
group of members from the western
states opposed particularly in the debate
Saturday the provision under which the
vast oil resources on public lands in
California and Wyoming would be de-
veloped under federal leases. They CON
tended that each state should be per-
mitted to regulate development of such
resources within its borders.
Representatives Baker and Church of
California objected to a section giving
relief to California oil promoters affect
ed by the land Withdrawals under the
Taft administration as not being liberal
enough. In the form passed, however, it
was partial victory for claimants. All
who filed on land prior to July 3, 1910,
the date of the congressional withdrawal,
would be granted preferential liens, pro-
vided they gave evidences of having at

Pan American Diplomats
Stand with Him in the
Mexican Tangle
KENT'S VIEW
Calls Murder Part Of Plot to
Cause Intervention and
Cripple Carranza

Washington, Jan. l7.-Pan- American
sentiment here, as voiced by the South
and Central American diplomats, seems
to stand with President Wilson as to
Mexico. This is restraining influence
and support not to be lightly regarded
at this hIncture. Mining interests and
the soldiers OF fortune, who abound along
the border, were first to jump to the
telegraph wires and to the postofiices.
They helped in the big acclaim OF the
last few days. But the president is now
hearing from other quarters, from people
whose opinions may be affected less by
their occupations.
Representative Kent of California, the
most independent man, perhaps, in Con
gress, who has large investments in Mex
leo and knows Chihuahua thoroughly,
Saturday telegraphed II. f. Hollis, an
eminent mining engineer at FL Paso say
ing: "View is generally held that muir
der was part OF shrewd plot to involve
us in Intervention, to the end OF Grip
pling Carranza. Cannot predict what
action will be taken, but matter is be-
ing most carefully considered. Stua-
ton seemingly delicate. am unofficial
ly informed that Pan-American friends
do not favor our invading"
The days story Of Congress is quickly
told. One event was the passage of the
Ferris bill to regulate lease of coal, oil,
phosphate and other minerals of public /
lands, whereupon another conservation |
bill, known as the enlarged homestead,
was considered. The ways and means
committee continued hearings on the dye
tufts bill and heard, among other things,
lbout British efforts to control the man
fracture of dyestuffs. The Senate was
lot in session, but few of its commit
.ees met. There is prospect of busy
lines soon, as committees are getting
zig measures enough ready to keep Sen
tie and House humping.

Cologne Aviation Grounds.

London, jan l7.--Ten children who
were playing in gravel pit near the
aviation grounds in Cologne, Germany,
were killed by an air bomb. The chill
dren found the unexploded bomb and
were playing with it when it exploded.
The district in the vicinity of the ayia-
ton field has been repeatedly searched,
as bombs have been dropped by aviators.
The bomb found by the children proba-
bly, had buried itself in the ground and
remained there until exposed by the
heavy rains of the last few days.

BURSTING METEOR
THROWS A LITTLE
TOWN INTO PANIC
Residents of West Alexander, Pa, Were
Aroused by Explosion-National Bank
and Church Damaged-Crowds Fell
at Feet of Clergyman-Priest
Explains Occurrence.

Washington, Pa, Jan. l7.-Residents
of the little town of West Alexander
were aroused from their beds Saturday
night by the explosion of meteor which
struck the earth in the center of the
towns business district. Terror strick-
en-. the inhabitants ran out fearing the
world had come to an end, not knowing
what dire calamity had befallen. The
heavenly visitor had fallen in front of
the West Alexander National bank and
the next thought of the townspeople
was that an attempt had been made TO
rob the bank, which with several other
buildings had been damaged by the ex-
plosion.
Posses were Immediately organized
and search begun. Father Weber of
st. Josephs cathedral who is something
of an astronomer, solved the mystery
of the meteor and the posses dispersed.
Rev. j. G. Deeds, pastor of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, was returning
from a country prayer meeting when the
meteor fell, and he was probably the
only witness. People running from their
homes in wild alarm found Rev. DR..
Deeds standing near the scene OF the ex-
plosion and they Immediately began to
fall on their knees in prayer.
The more practical minded, however,
saw the damaged front of the bank and
assigned more earthly
and highly criminal cause for the ex
plosion and the hunt for the bank rob
bers began When it was found that
other buildings, the Methodist church in
