TIMOTHY L WOODRUFF

Who Scored Victory in Naming of Sherman Against Roosevelt.

SOLDIERS FIGHT FIRES

200 Regulars Battle With Flame? In Yellowstone Park. At Livingston, Mont, soldiers of Uncle Sam fought all night to save one of the most beautiful playgrounds of the nation from devastation from fire. The conflagrations, which have been ravaging the northwest, Invaded the Yellowstone National park. From Bell mountain came the news that the forest w\,s ablaze. A pillar of moke rising oyer St. Mary's gave"signal of a similar disaster. Still graver conditions were reported from southeast of Lake Yellowstone by smokegrimed couriers. As quickly as orders could be given 200 regular soldiers stationed in the park were marching against the foe That large areas of the magnificent trees fostered as a part of the national forest reserve were doomed to denudation was apparent from the first but the courage and discipline of the seasoned fire fighters eventually stopped the advance of the Bell and St. Mary’s mountain fires, saving miles of woodland from destruction. At Lake Yellowstone the fire was more stubborn. It was feared that the loss in timber as well as injury to the beauty of the park, would be great.

TAFT AND T. R. AT OUTS

Administration Said to Be Behind Deal Ignoring Teddy. Following the rebuff which th* New York state central commit tee administered to Colonel Roose velt in turning him down for th* temporary chairmanship of the con vention and selecting in his stead. Vice-President Sherman, it can be stated positively that Mr. Rooseveb. and Mr. Taft have broken. The action of the committee which Mr. Sherman characterized as a victory for the ad ministration, has hastened a break be tween the colonel and the president which had been expected a long time by those who have watched Mr. Roose ▼elt since his return from Africa There is no doubt of it now. The defeat of the direct nomination; bill took Woodruff to Beverly. H* talked with Mr. Taft It was then according to the same sources her* that the chairman promised the Nev York delegates for 1912 in return-so the backing of the administration h this state. Since that time Mr. Roose velt’s suggestion that a progressive platform in Ohio be adopted wa* ignored. His nephew, Theodore Doug las Robinson, was beaten at the pri maries for the congress nominatior frote -ci .r.ties* of Herkimer and Oneida. He was. whipped by the ma Chine with which Mr. Sherman has been iderified. 1 ■

NEW YORK FIGHT DISRUPTS PARTY

Col. Roosevelt May Not Attend The State Convention. REPUBLICANS FACING DEFEAT This Fact, It Is Said, Has Decided Col. Roosevelt Not to Become Involved In Factional Fight In N. Y. State Matters. '.'O. ' •< . -'■> W; Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 19. —Present indications from Sagamore Hill point to either a bitter fight against the administration at the Saratoga convention, led by Mr. Roosevelt or the complete absence of the colonel on that occasion. If there had been doubt as to the break between President Taft and Mr. Roosevelt it would have vanished when several important political visitors rusned to the hill and held a long pow wow. It was evident at the departure of County Chairman Lloyd C. Griscom, Collector .William Loeb, Jr.. Congreeman Cocks, Naval Officer Frederick H. Kracke and Representative Wm. H. Calder, that there had been big doings on the hill.

Mr. Roosevelt is in an odd position. He is not anxious to buck the administration, because he wants to wait until later on when the national situation will loom up so much greater than the New’ York slate situation. He said again that he is pleased over the action of the state committee in turning him down as temporary chairm/tn, for If he had been forced into the chair he might be held responsible for the defeat that appears to be imminent, unless there are swift and unforeseen changes. No one here is wiser to the fact that the Republican party in this state is torn by factional disputes than T. R.

In case the old guard does goes to Saratoga and tries to undo what it has already done, which is mighty doubtful, they might realize that with New York lost the colonel would be a good man to captain the sinking ship and go down with it. For that reason he believes that he had better wait and make his onslaught of a national character. which will be effective in 1812. It is by no means settled that T. R. will not be a candidate in 1912. He has not said that he would refuse the nomination if he got it. The Impression was gathered from Mr. Roosevelt that he had consented very much against his inclination to give his aid. if it was, desired, being perfectly well aware that if he did it, he might be held accountable for the defeat: that the aid was refused in a way that would make it look as if Mr. Roosevelt were making a factional fight which could he construed as being against the administration, if he acted further in the matter, and as Mr. Roosevelt does not doprn it either wise or proper to permit himself to become involved in such a factional fight, his present impression is that he will not go to the convention or take any part which Would render him responsible. He has come to no definite conclusion in the matter, but from what his visitors said, his present judgment seems to be as indicated. Mr. Roosevelt refuses to discuss the situation.

TAFT SILENT ON COMBINATION

No Data Regarding Deal Can Be Obtained at Summer Capital. Beverly. Aug. 19. —If President Taft entered into any combination with the Sberman-Woodrnff-Ward - Wadsworth wing of the Republican party in New York to defeat Col. Roosevelt for the temporary chairmanship of the state convention, the executive offices will not admit it. / The president himself has had nothing to say, and the secretary to the president will add nothing to that silence. The report, however, is discredited in other quarters So far as rutqors that the president'Wat to get the New York delegations vote in the 1912 convention, there is no ground to stand upon.

MINISTER TACKLES MAD DOG

Animal Had Bitten Three Children and Score of Other Canines. New York, Aug. 19. —With naked hansd the Rev. Dr. Edward M. McGuffey, rector of St. James Episcopal church, and John E. Meyers of 87 Broadway, caught and overpowered a rabid dog after it had bitten three children arid a score of more of dogs in the streets of Elmburst, L. I. The animal was'an unusually large fox terrier. The struggle took place in Broadway, Elmhurst, opposite the rectory of the church and was witnessed by a screaming throng of women and children. Officers shot the canine.

EMPEROR'S BIRTH HONORED

Cities and Towns Decorated in Honor of Ruler of‘ Austria and Hungary. Vienna, Aug. 19. —In honor of Emperor Franz Josef’s birthday there were birthday celebrations throughout Austria and Hungary. The cities and towns were decorated, banquets were given and numerous subscriptions made to charity.

PEN PORTRAITS OF NOTED PEOPLE

W. G. Harding, Candidate For Governor of Ohio. k

Warren G. Harding, the Republican nominee for governor of Ohio, is a newspaper man by profession and has been prominent in Buckeye politics for many years. His public service in-

cludes one term as, lieutenant governor in 1903-06 under Myron T. Herrick and two terms in the Ohio state senate before that.

Born at Corsica. Morrow county. 0., Mr. Harding will be forty-five next November. He got his first education in the public schools of Caledonia, Marion county, where bis father settled in 1871. and was graduated from the old Ohio Central college at Iberia in 1882 with the degree of B. S. In 1882 Warren G. Harding went with his parents to Marion, taught country school for a season, then started the study of law. His newspaper inclinations led him into the publishing business in 1884, in which pursuit he- has since been active. He made the Marion Star a notable newspaper success in the face of many obstacles. Mr. Harding is considered a brilliant speaker. Except for a short interval he has been a supporter of former Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. Sir George Plays Wise Game. Sir George Nicholls, member of parliament, was formerly a traveling peddler. He started business with a donkey and cart and then managed to get enough together to buy a mule. Finally he got up to a horse and cart, with which he worked until he received an offer to become lay pastor of a small church at $3<M) a year. This was a princely salary to him, and he passed the pony cart on to a friend. He refused to sell outright, however, and instead reserved the right to return to his hawker’s business if he was a failure as a preacher. “This,” he says now. “was trusting to the Lord, but not losing sight of the main chance." Governor Carroll of lowa. Governor Beryl F. Carroll of lowa, whose recent indictment on the charge of criminal libel created somewhat of a sensation, was chosen chief executive of the Hawkeye State last year The indictment, which was returned by the grand jury of Polk county, was for alleged libel of John Cownie. former member of the state board of control. whose resignation the governor demanded as a result of an investigation of the State Industrial School For Girls. In his statement before the grand jury Mr. Cownie alleged that

B. F. CARROLL.

he was libeled by a statement published by the governor in a Des Moines newspaper.

Governor Carroll is a native of lowa, but was educated in Missouri, and the early years of his manhood were spent as a schoolteacher in Missouri. Later he engaged in the live stock business in his native state and in the early nineties became editor of the Davis County Republican. He served several terms as state senator, was postmaster of Bloomfield for several yean and from 1903 until elected governor was auditor of the state.

STATE TROOPS IN CHARGE OF STRIKE

Got. Harmon, in Person, Takes Hold of tlie Situatian. . ■ '■ ■ i . ■ Governor Harmon assumed charge of the car strike situation in Columbus. O. Wit:. ;ut consulting Mayor Marahall. or the states adjutant general, 1 he ordered a force of 1,000 state troops in the capital yard and a little after nightfall they were encamped there, including the First regiment of Cincinnati, pan of the Third regiment of Dayton and Troop B and Battery C, of Columbus. The governor is in charge of the troops and his adjutant general gives the orders. The troops were not placed about for patrol service, but held in the state house grounds. Bankers and business men have raised $12,500 to pay the special deputy sheriffs, but the authorities have been practically unable to enlist deputies or special police officers. The soldiers are provided with riot cartridges. Gov. Harmon issued a proclamation calling on al! peace loving citizens to rally to the standard of law and order and assist troops and local police force in putting down riot and disorder.

Last night the mayor suggested to the Columbus Railway and Light company that because of the rioting, no effort be made to run cars, but the company ignored the suggestion. C. S. Coach, of a detective agency, has arrived to take charge of the strikebreakers in the absence of John F. Brady, the leader who fled after shooting two women and a child. The city council has appointed a committee to propse to the car company and the union that the issues of the controversy be left to the council, sitting as a board of arbitration. There is little likelihood that the company will agree to this. Anticipating the possibility of efforts to wreck th® five trains bringing the ■ first regiment from Cincinnati, the state authorities had two pilot engines with details of soldiers covering stretches of Baltimore & Ohio railway track in the vicinity of Blanchester and Morgans station, where trestles ar» located It is evident that there may be frle- I tion when rhe militia authorities under I Gov. Harmon, and the police and dep-, nty sheriffs under Mayor Marshall meet to quetl rioting. The military officers are planning to assume charge of things when they are called out. To an Impartial observer, it looks as if the governor has about made up his mind to lift the management of the situation entirely out of the mayor’s
