COP. BOOM FOR GEN. WOOD
MAY START AT EARLY DATE
Sentiment Sounded Out in Illinois, Where
Politicians Expect Roosevelt Forces
to Support Army Officer.

, interviewing politicians, particularly
the local leaders who were strongly
allied with Theodore Roosevelt. 1t is
said that among those he interviewed
were Chief Justice Harry Olsen of
the municipal court, and Harold l..
Ickes, who was one of the Roosevelt
leaders in Chicago. King told close
friends the Wood boom would soon
be officially launched.
Visit of New York Lawyer.
Another Wood emissary who has
been getting in touch with the Illinois
situation is a New York lawyer whose
name cannot be disclosed at this time.
He is said to have spent several
weeks in Chicago or it's suburbs and
to have held many conferences with
local leaders. His mission, it is said,
was to relieve Gen. Wood of any con-
nection with the campaign. He is
said to be in close touch with the
Roosevelt forces in the east, and Chi
cago politicians took it for granted
that his appearance here meant that
the Roosevelt followers planned to
get behind Gen. Wood with their full
strength.
The announcement Of the Wood
candidacy is expected to come from
Washington. although it may be given
out in New York city. 1t is believed
that the result of Committeeman
Kings western trip will guide the
Wood leaders in deciding when the
psychological time has come to make
the formal announcement.

$1,000, 900 OF CARNEGIE
MONEY WILL GO TO u. S.
AS INHERITANCE TAXES

NEW YORK, August 3d.
About 100000 of the $4,000, 900
left by the late Andrew Car
negie will find it's way to the
United States Treasury as in
heritance taxes, according to an
estimate made by tax experts
here today.
Some doubt regarding the in
come tax on requests made to
Premier Lloyd George and other
Britishers seems to exist. 1t
is pointed out that if the prin-
cipal from which the annuitfes
are paid is sent to England,
