T. R. DIDN'T SAY IT.!
Denies He Approved German State in
Brazil-TeIls What He Did Say.

oyster Bay. N. Y, Oct. 3.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt last night issued a
denial of a statement attributed to him
by the F'rankfurter Zeitung. which,
according to a dispatch from Amster-
dam, quoted him as having expressed
approval of the German plan to col
onize a state in southern Brazil, in a
conversation with the German ambas-
sador, while he was president, in 1903.
Colonel Roosevelt's statement fol-
lows:
1.-THE statement is not correct. The
conversation referred to the German
immigration to the southernmost state
of the republic of Brazil, called Rio
Grande de Sui. I said that 1 believed
the Germans would be admirable i'm
migrants in Brazil as shown to be in
the United States, and that 1 would
have supposed that everyone would
welcome them as immigrants in any
part of America, but that, of course.
Germany must no more try to estab-
lish any control over her immigrants
in Brazil than she did in the United
States.
AT that time I would not have be-
lieved it possible that Germany would
behave as she actually has behaved
here in the United States and Baron
1on Sternburg, the then German am
bassador, would never have encourag-
ed such dishonora hIe action

BYLAWS TO Be REVISED

Well! Wellt
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Atchisen, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway will be held in To-
peka October %.
Well! WellI Well!
Is there anything unusual about the
meeting being held in Topeka? There
isn't; it is held here every year. But:
The point is only tWenty-three days
remain until the meeting is held and
not a single newspaper man has writ
ten a story declaring there is a ru-
NOR, to the effect that E. P. Ripley
president of the road, will retire
Such a story, always heretofore
proven to have been made of whole
cloth when someone thought to con-
suit Mr.. Ripley about it, has been pub
lished every year about this time until
it has become almost a sacred tradi-
ton; it would be almost criminal were
it overlooked this year. So, here goes:
If Mr.. Ripley has decided to retire,
he will; if he hasn't, he will not.
He VIII Not Retire.
So much for the prophecy; now to
get down to facts. That the dean of
American railroads will not retire is
a certainty.
IT saw him in Chicago the other
for the road, land s41e was looking
hale and hearty and as active as a
young man in his twenties. He had
been to Washington and was head
over heels in work Don't you think
he will retirei'
President Ripley and several 9TH
ers prominent in national railway cir
cles will be in Topeka to attend the
meeting which will be the last one
held in October. At the meeting
which will be held at noon in the Of
flee of Mr.. Copeland, the bylaws will
be changed to change the fiscal year
to correspond with the calendar year.
Heretofore the fiscal year has been
ending in June, throwing the stock
holders meeting in October. Under
the new policy, made necessary by a
ruling of the interstate commerce
commission, the stockholders meeting
will be held in April with the initial
one next year.
Will Ratify Extensions.
Acquisition of 107 miles of newly
constructed railroads and roads now
being built will be ratified at the
meeting. This mileage includes three
railroads as follows:
The Usage County & Santa Fe, a
line running between owen and Fair
fax, Okla, a distance of So miles
The Barton County & Santa Fe
railway, running between Holyrood
The North Texas & Santa Fe rail-
way, which penetrates Hansford

Combination Rack and Tire Holder
for Can.

A new motor car attachment hav-
ing many uses is a combination tire
holder and rack on which baggage.
milk cans, sacked grain. etc., can be
carried. 1t consists of a steel frame
that is attached by two arms to the
rear of the chassis and by two adjust
able braces to the members that
support the cars top at the rear. The
tire holders are situated on the under
side of the rack, and when the latter
is not in use the entire attachment
folds up against the body, bringing
the tires into an almost vertical po-
sition. The article is described and
illustrated in the August Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.
