BREAK CAME IN G. 0, P. DURING TAFT’S REGIME Administration Witnessed Important Changes in Government. Editor'* Not*—H*r* is tb* third of a tori** on the tareer of William Howard Taft. BY HERBERT LITTLE. I nited Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—William Howard Taft’s four-year administration as President was a debacle for the Republican party, in he opinion of most historians. His break with Roosevelt, who put him in the White House, was a political quarrel and also a personal one. The Democratic party victory which followed his administration was overwhelming, Taft finishing third. Yet his administration was narked by two of the most imporant changes of American government. While he was President congress submitted to state legislatures the constitutional amendments providing for direct election of senators and authorizing the federal income tax. Split Coming The parcel post, system and the ural free mail delivery system were other important developments. Roosevelt saw the split coming, it is said, when he received a letter of appreciation from President Taft, paying tribute to him for his efforts in making him President. "I am bound to say that I owe my election more to you than to anybody else, except my brother, Charley,” Taft said. Roosevelt sailed for Africa, and President Taft, “brother Charley,” and his friends paid little heed to Roosevelt's friends in running the country. Roosevelt returned, and had one interview’ with Taft. Break Complete They were heard to call each other Theodore and Will in the old affectionate manner, but their break thereafter w r as complete. Finally the dream of his early boyhood came true. The place on the supreme court which he refused twice w’hen Roosevelt offered it to him nearly twenty years earlier, was offered. More than that, the newly elected Republican President, Harding, made him chief justice. Taft was confirmed as chief justice by the senate June 30, 1921. He took up his place on the bench when the court met the following October. WOMAN BRICK TARGET Missile Hurled Through Window of Home Narrowly Misses.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MILITARY RULE IS ESTABLISHED AT CANON CITY •Iron Man’ Is Appointed Dictator at Colorado State Prison. By United Press CANON CITY, Colo., Feb. 7. ■ The Colorado state penitentiary, : where thirteen convicts and guards 1 were killed in the nation’s bloodi- ! est prison mutiny four months ago. was under the virtual dictatorship of an “Iron Man” today. The state board of corrections, meeting here to investigate the October riots and the fire which swept the penitentiary last Saturday. appointed Colonel Patrick J. Hammrock, 55, a brigadier-general during the World war, special deputy warden to reorganize the | guard system on a military basis. Hamrock, who achieved nationwide fame and earned the title of j “Iron Man” for his leadership of the state militia during the Colorado coal strikes in 1913, left a hospital bed Thursday to accept the provisional appointment. The appointment of Hamrock, the ousting of two provisional guards, and proposed action against three others, were the first definite steps taken by the corrections board in the reorganization of the penitentiary administration. This action was taken shortly before Governor William H. Adams demanded the resignations of all three board members as an initial step to correct what he described as “the condition of demoralization that exists at the penitentiary.” NEWSPAPER BOXES STAY Highway Commission Not to Order Removal From Roads. The state highway commission will not order removal of newspaper boxes as long as they are farther from the pavement that the mail boxes and carry no advertising other than the name of the newspaper, John J. Brown, state highway director said today. The opinion was given following a statement of a northern Indiana newspaper that the boxes carrying the name are advertising matter and that the commission was discriminating when it would not permit the erection of newspaper signs along the road.
