G. 0. P. REGULARS !W. L. Houser Asserts Progressives Will Control National Convention. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 31. Walter L. Houser, former secretary of state of Wisconsin, who is in charge of the presidential headquarters of the progressive Republicans here, asserts the progressives would control the next national Republican convention and nominate one of their own creed for the presidency. "We are in the fight to the limit of j fairness and justification." he said. 'Our correspondence and information i lead us to believe no other than a progressive candidate can be elected j on the Republican ticket. Can we as (Republicans take chances on a Demo'cratic victory T "These headquarters are not Lafoljlette headquarters by any means. 'They are established by the progressive Republicans of the country, recognized by the leaders and masses : everywhere, and from here we will j conduct the fight, which we expect to t win. Two Potent Reasons for Fight. "We have two potent reasons for maintaining headquarters and carrying on the fight. The first Is to pro. mote progressive Republican policies. The second Is to nominate a progressive for president." "Who Is back of this statement?" I Mr. Houser was asked. "About every progressive Republltcan senator and representative and I the masses of Republican progressives . everywhere," he replied. "Leaders !are plentiful, as you can find out, but lit Is the man down below who is to 'wage this fight for us." How about Senator Borah of Idaho, who has been talked of as vice presidential candidate with Mr. Taft?" "There Is no objection to saying to :you that Mr. Borah Is heart and soul 'with us and will be one of the most active men In our campaign, which is I to be a real campaign of earnest men who espouse progressive principles." Makes No Detailed Claims. "You say you are going to control the next national convention?" Mr. Houser was. asked.- "What states do you expect to have?" "Well, I do not want to begin by making detailed claims at this time," he replied. "Just watch our campaign. Our speakers are going into the fight everywhere from now on. Senator Clapp Is now In California; Representative Murdock Is carrying the fight to the opposition, and others are on the field. In Illinois- we are making an active fight." "Can you hope to control the next convention f when you Btart out with the solid .federal office holding south against you?" "We do not concede the south by any means,", replied . Mr. Houser. "Oklahoma (s practically solid for us. Missouri is with . us. Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas and Florida are alive, with progressive ideas, and. elsewhere in the south we have good friends." , "As to New York?",.. "I have a letter, Just, arrived, from the editor of one of the leading farm papers of the state, saying the farmers of that state are strongly imbued with progressive ideas, and will make a fight for a good part of the delegation In the next convention. Will Organize Thoroughly. "We will organize by states, congressional districts, and precincts. In , those states, where they have presidential preference laws Oregon, North Dakota, Nebraska, Wisconsin and New Jersey organization will not be needed as. much as elsewhere.

WHICH BEULAH DREW BEULAH BINFORD lature is to be held this fall to enact a statewide primary for presidential preference, and the same thing is under consideration in Kansas." The nearest Mr, Houser got to men tioning President Taft by name was when he said that "a certain man could not be elected if nominated." Mr. Taft's first southern delegation will be obtained today, when the Alabama Republicans meet to elect delegates to the next national convention. YOUNG NEGRO HORSE THIEF IS ARRESTED (Palladium Special) ECONOMY, Ind., Aug. 31. Claud Massey, colored, of this place, is now in the Randolph county jail at Winchester charged with having stolen a horse and rig at Modoc Sunday night, which belonged to Elmer Hiatt. Massey is but seventeen years of age and his alleged boldness is astonishing. After stealing the outfit, it is said that Massey went to a farm house south of this place, where he slept Sunday night. Monday morning he drove boldly into Economy and is alleged to have declared that the outfit belonged to his father and Tuesday morning he drove to Williamsburg, Greensfork and Hagerstown and then back to Economy. In the meantime Marshal C. M. Downing, of Modoc, had been notified that the horse and buggy had been stolen and Massey was suspected of having committed the theft at once, as Marshal Downing had seen the youth at Modoc Sunday evening. The marshal immediately notified the police at Richmond, Muncie, New Castle and other cities to be on the lookout for the thief. Massey drove back to the farm house where he had slept Sunday night and was arrested. City Statistics Births. To Mr. and Mrs. William M. Guier, 1314 South C street, a daughter, Rhea Irene Guier.

OLD SEA CAPTAIN WAS III RICHMOND Capt. Osbon, Whaler, Explorer and Adventurer, Tells of Experiences. Captain B. S. Osbon, whaler, naval veteran, explorer, soldier of fortune, adventurer and "advance man" for Doctor Cook, discredited "discoverer" of the North Pole, who lectures at the Chautauqua this afternoon, was in the city yesterday. Despite his 81 years, Captain Osbon is as active as a youth of twenty. He has had a remarkable career. He is as well acquainted with the far oft corners of the globe as the average

Richmond man is with Cambridge City. The old salt takes pride in the fact that he is one of the three living Americans who has ever been in the Antarctic Ocean, Dr. Cook and Frederick Ward Stokes being the other two. He sailed into that mysterious sea in 18 4a on a whaler out of Tasmania in search of a vast herd of whales. "We found 'em, but by crack they were those blamed Bulpher-belly kind, not worth a dern, and it took us five months to get out of the ice floes," he remarked disgustedly, but added that the following year a wonderful herd was located in the Bering Sea, at the other end of the globe. The captain also prides himself on the fact that he was the man who "discovered" the Spanish fleet before it bottled itself up in Santiago harbor. He said he was in Caracas, Venezuela, when the Maine was blown up and he offered his services to the navy department as a scout. When he saw the Spanish fleet near the Venezuelan coast he informed the navy department by cable. Captain Osbon served in the United States navy during the Civil War. It is needless to say Captain Osbon Is a staunch supporter of Doctor Cook and has a rather poor opinion of Peary. CHAUTAUQUA FOR GLENJEXr YEAR Mayor Zimmerman Says He Will Again Permit the Use of Park. Notwithstanding his previous declarations to the effect that the Chautauqua association would be prohibted from holding its 1912 assembly in Glen Miller park. Mayor Zimmerman this morning, at the soli- itation of Homer M., Hammond president "of the board of public works, gave his consent to the association to hold its next assem bly in the park. Mr. Hammond, who was appointed on the board of directors of the association this year, at the suggestion of Mayor Ziimmerman, brought up the subject after the session of the board of works today. The mayor was inclined to refuse Mr. Hammond's request, but acquiesced after he was informed that the association probably would be able to hold its 1913 Chautauqua In the new Hawkins park. Mayor Zimmerman has been opposed to holding of the Chautauqua at the park since his present administration began, as he declared that he majority of the citizens of this city did not want the park used for this purpose. He alleged that trees were damaged and that the grass was also destroyed. His consent coming at this time is surprising. For a time it seemed as if there would be no Chautauqua next year. It is believed that the new proposed park ground will be improved by 1913. But One Of An In limited Variety

BUSINESS IS GOOD U. S. Steel Company Reports Increase Over 1910. (N'ationcl News Asoclatton , CHICAGO. Aug. 31.

tion are producing about "2 per cent of their capacity and the Steel mills are running close to 77 per cent.

ROOSEVELT SCORES TAMMANY METHODS In Outlook Editorial Attacks Proposed New Charter for New York City. (National News Association) NE WYORK, Aug. 31. Ex-President Roosevelt dips into politics in the current number of the "Outlook," which is out today, with an attack on the proposed new charter for New York city, in an editorial headed, "Self-government." Col. Roosevelt characterizes the manner in which the charter is being framed as "undemocratic" and hits at Tammany, declaring that this organization now dominates the state. The colonel makes the point that whereas New York city contains ten times as many people as Arizona and New Maxico, residents of those terri tories were allowed to form their own constitutions and their debates were widely reported and their actions known the country over before the constitutions were put up to congress in the statehood bill. The people of New York city did not seek the charter, the colonel asserts, but that it is being foisted upon them. He also decries the latitude which it will give the mayor in educational matters, making him virtually a despot, he says. ALLEGED FUGITIVE LUNATIC ARRESTED Declaring that he had just escaped from an asylum for the insane at Dayton and that he had a Biblical Christian name, Martin Luther Young, was arrested under a vehement protest, by Patrolman Edwards at Ninth and Main streets early this morning. Patrolman Edwards was walking east on Main street about 1 o'clock and noticed a man leaning against a pole. He stopped and after convers ing with Young for a few minutes no ticed that the stranger talked "in a circle." Upon asking where he was from, Edwards received the answer that he had just escaped from an in sane hospital. . He was locked up im mediately and this morning Young said that he had relatives at Knights town and asked that he be allowed to go to them. His request was granted. Palladium Want Ads Pay.

King, has drawn up the following material: "It is with deep regret that we learn of the death of our friend and associate, Dr. J. R. Mauk.- Erom the organization o this society he has been a member in its meetings, and has given his best efforts to our Interests. As age has crept on, he has not been found wanting in his desire to be present; and even when the sickness that fieally terminated in his death was upon him, he still came as long as possible to our meetings. We remember many valuable papers he has presented to this society, and can not soon forget the mature advice he has so often given us. We know of his daily devotion to those sick under his care, and want to praise bis example In times of trouble. He was good to his many friends, and always exemplary in his daily walks. A few years ago this society in honor of his birthday, went in a body to his home in Cambridge City and presented him with a gold-headed cane, as a token of our kind regards for our senior member. We send sympathy to the family, and hope to let them know thus early, of our great esteem for him in our mutual loss. Very Respectfully, Committee: C. S. Bond, F. W. Krueger, J. E. King.
