NO THIRD TICKET,
MOOSE DECISION
indianapolis Conference
to Reorganize Party Az
ter November Election.

indianapolis, Aug. 3.-Plans for the
reorganization and perpetuation Of the
Progressive party as a national politi-
cal organization were adopted here to-
night at a conference of Bull Moose
representatives. The conference, after
a heated discussion, decided it would
be impracticable at this late date to
resssemble the Progressive National
Convention and fill the vacancy on the
national ticket caused by Theodore
Roosevelt's declination.
Instead, the organization will put, up
an electoral ticket in every state where
there is the nucleus of an organization
left, bearing the name Of John ". Par
ker. of Louisiana, nominee for Vice
President, in the hope Of perhaps elect
ing enough Presidential electors, who
might prove the balance of power IN
the event of a close contest between
the two parties.
Among the states in which this plan
will be carried out are Louisiana, Mary
land, Indiana, Missouri. Wisconsin,
Michigan, Utah, North Dakota and
Minnesota.
Hale To Be in Charge.
IA. H. Hopkins, of New Jersey, was
chosen treasurer OF the rehabilitated
Bull Moose party, and Matthew Hale
Of Massachusetts,, vice-ehairman OF the
national committee, will be in active
charge of the campaign.
An executive committee OF fifteen
members will be named by Nlce-Chair-
man Hale TO cooperate with the hfteen
members of the national committee
who refused to vote for the lndorse-
ment of Charles z. Hughes at Chicago,
June 26, in rehablitating the party.
This committee will meet after the
election TO formulate plans for the per-
petuation of the party. These plans
NAV include some kind OF an amalga-
nation with the Prohibition, SOCIALIST
and Woman's parties.
Edwin NJ. Lee. OF Indiana; A. u: Nor.
ton. Of Missouri; Bainbridge Colby. OF
New York; c. F. Hoffman, Of Michigan;
Harold Noise. Of Louisiana; and 1. W.
Mcclure. OF Georgia, were named mem
hers of the executive committee. me
other members will be announced oy
Vice Chairman Hale in a few weeks.
An address was issued by the con-
ference. which in part said:
Hits at National Committee.
at is useless TO deny or to deceive
ourselves as TO the grievous effect upon
the party of the blows which It has
sustained through the detection or
many of it's leaders, and through the
betraya. by the National Committee OF
the trust confded in it by the party
membership. Men whom we have de-
lighted to honor and whom we have
rejoiced to follow have not only aoan-
doned the party's cause. but have
sought TO sacrifice its future and 70
&C cmpromise the dignity Of its indi-
vidual membership by collusive un-
dertaking with the Republican party
10 deliver our rarty strength 10 the Re
publican Presidential ticket"

DOGS TEAR CHILD
TRAPPED In LOT
Little Harlem Girl, Bitten
and Clawed, Dying
from Her Injuries.

Five-year-old Mary Mimnaugh, i'm
prisoned last night with two savage
bulldogs in a fenced vacant lot, was
bitten and olawed so fercely that she
is dying in Harlem Hospital. The
child's playmate, in escaping through a
gate equipped with spring lock. closed
the latch in her excitement, barring
Msry's only exit.
When policemen from the East 126th
Street station battered open the gate
and leaped into the lot, the two dogs
were dragging the child over the va
cant plot Scores of persons from a
tall apartment house nearby. and from
the rear Of stores and lofts on l25th
Street, watched the policemen struggle
with the animals, in a battle that lasted
until both dogs had been shot.
Mary's father is a motorman on the
Second Avenue Elevated road. and it
was soon after o'clock last night that
the child gained permission from her
mother 70 sit on the stoop Of her home,
at 1905 Park Avenue, and give daddy
his supper-time kiss as soon as he
comes"
Joined by Playmate.
Mary waited until $3.50 o'clock.
Daddy" hadn't appeared. but another
little girl about Mary's age-the police
have not learned her name-toddled
around the corner, dragging a dirty
rag doll by a disjointed arm.
Mary and the other child decided to
slip over to the vacant lot in East l24th
Street, near Madison Avenue. to play
until Mary's daddy" arrived. They
knew the lot was surrounded by an
eight-foot board fence. and that the
only entrance to il was wooden gate.
They knew. too. that the only way OF
reaching this gate was through the
basement Of the Park View apartment
house, at 9l47 Park Avenue.
In the basement Of this building
Charles Agello, the janitor. kept his
two blooded bulldogs a pure white
animal, weighing fifty pounds, the otner
q mottled black and white, weighing a
few hounds less than her mate. AS the
children trooped through the cellar, the
dogs. unleashed and unpenned, put
their noses TO the ground and silently
followed them.

Bleeding by Bowshot.


That all diseases can be cured by
bleeding is still firmly believed by sew
eral savage tribes and especially by
the Papuan negroes. When one of
their physicians becomes convinced
that it is necessary to bleed Il patient
he goes several feet in front of him.
and then, drawing his bow he fits a
sharp pointed arrow to 1t and. after
careful aim. fires the arrow into the
vein which he desires to open. The
arrow. it is said. invariably goes
straight to the mark. and the thorn or
splinter Of glass with which 1t is tip
ped does the work MS successfully as a
lancet. Moreover. the patients never
show the slightest fear. since they are
convinced that from the moment the
arrows pierce their veins they will be-
gin to recover.
