By the Associated Press.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Septe mber "a
The boom for Theodore Roosevelt ir
Assistant Secretary of the Nayy. as
the Republican candidate for gov
ernor. gathered headway today as
delegates began arriving in numbers
for the State convention opening to-
morrow.
Leaders of the Roosevelt movement
said he would be nominated on the
third or fourth ballot Thursday.
Senator James w. Wadsworth fl.
regarded here as the State leader of
the party. when asked whether the
nomination of Col. Roosevelt would
have the approval of the National
Administration, smiled and replied:
Il should think there could be no
doubt as to that. He is a part of
that administration"
Col. Roosevelt's name, however, will
be but one of several to go before the
delegates. Other candidates include
Col. William Hayward. Federal dis
trict attorney of New York City; Guy
b. Mooe, district attorney of Buffalo,
and Justice Arthur S. Tompkins of
Nyack.
Last night a group of prominent State
leaders decided to throw their strength
to the son of the late President of the

over the rest Of the field, and his name
was mentioned with great frequency
yesterday as the most likely candidate
Taking cognizance Of the sharp drif;

Of State leaders met last night and
canvassed the situation. At the con-
clusion of the conference it was de-
clared that the concensus of opinion
was that Roosevelt should be nor1i-
mated because of his campaigning abiI-
ity, his record in public service and in
the Army during the World War.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia,
September 23.-A weird tale OF
witchcraft, torture and murder
came over the wires from Fara-
way Telegraph Creek today.
1t was a message from a Royal
Canadian Mounted policeman an
nouncing that after trekking for
a year through northern British
Columbia he was returning to
civilization with an aged Indian
squaw and four accompiices who
killed a young brave by inches
because his "sorcery" brought the
wrath Of the evil spirits upon his
tribes nen.
Atol Moassin was the victims
name. The name of the squaw
charged with his murder was not
contained in the policeman's dis
patch. There was only a brief
account Of the crime.
A year ago, the message said,
hunting suddenly became very
poor among the Indians OF the
northern Wilderness. A long. cold
winter followed and starvation

Juggling OF Millions.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, September pa story
Of the deft juggling OF millions. in
cluding the sale of large part of a
s120,ooo,00o coal property for $4,000
600, became public today preliminary
to the suit for 5000, ,000.0 900 filed by
stockholders OF the Denver and Ric
Grande Railroad against the estate OF
George ]. Gould and others.
Attorneys today filed in the Supreme
Court the testimony taken before trial
Of Arthur J. Coppell, onetime chair
man of the board of the Denver and
Rio Grande, and a defendant in the
suit The action had it's origin in the
negotiations of the Denver and Rio
Grande road with the Western Pa
cific, which was founded by the late
Jay Gould, prior and subsequent 70
the latter concerns bankruptcy and
reorganization The complainants
charge that the Denver and Rio
Grande finances were looted "as re-
suit of the Vaccinations of interlock-
ing directors of the two railroads
who had themselves caused breach
of a trackage and traffic contract
Stockholders File Report.
One allegation of the suing stock
holders is that a judgment for $685.
100000 was entered against the ID
G. r. c. as a result of the action OF
the interiocking directorates- This
led to the legal seizure of $4,000, 600 OF
the roads liberty bonds and their ap-
plication on account of the judgment
a levy on $3,000,000 D. & R. G. cash
in banks in New York, Chicago and
Denver, as we'll as levy upon the
w rnYpnanv the
roads subsidiary.
A stockholders committee reported
in 1921, four years after the property
had been bid in for $4,000,0o0, that
the concern was worth mot less than
$12o, 600, 900"
The $38,000,o 900 Judgment. it is al
legged, was entered against the D. &
r. G. because it had failed to live up
to the terms of the traffic and track
age contract which bound it to pay
the interest on a $50.00O,0 900 Western
Pacific bond issue if the Western Pa
cific should be unable to pay it Di-
rectors and bankers dominating the
situation. the complaint recites
caused the Western Pacific to default
$1.250,000 interest payment due
March l. 1915. although both roads
had ample funds to meet the pay
ment.
The following day, according to
the suing stockholders. a bill Of
foreclosure was filed in San Fran
cisco and a receiver appointed few
days later Then. the complainants
charge, the directors and bankers
responsible for the receivership bid
in the Western Pacific property, with
$2.0O0.000 in its treasury, for $751;
100000, although it had been built
up at a cost of about $100,000,000
more than half Of which had come from
the D. & r. G. treasury.
According to the complaint, the
foreclosure wiped out a $25,000,00G
second mortgage held by the D. &
r. G.. $31.00o.o00 in notes held by
that road and $50, $50. 900 Of Western

LONDON, September 23. - An
S o message from steamship
giving her name as the Crawford and
her position as about SO miles off
the northwest tip of Spain, received
last night, caused the British steam
ers Orsova and Leitrim, bound from

The distress signal came from 1910
north latitude 9.53 west longitude,
which is northwest Of La Coruna,
Spain, and about 25 miles north of

Spanish port to Havana The Orsova
reported last night that at IL o'clock
she was ~ miles from the Crawford
and that the Leitrim was 80 miles
from the port indicated in the S o S.
1t was at first believed that the
Crawford was the United States Ship
ping Board bessel of that name which
left New Orleans August 81 for
Bremen, but later it was learned that
she had arrived at her destination.
The only other steamer Crawford
listed in shipping registers is a Brit
