: OYSTER BAY, N. Y., July 9 Col. I Roosevelt yesterday outlined a plan ! whereby he hopes to capture local or

Btate tlcketB from both the Democrats and Republicans to strengthen his chances of success for the new third Jrparty. The ex-presldent laughed and said he had received a "plaintive telegram from William Allen White, of Emporia, fKas., inquiring why he had not been tasked to sign the call." ( Lest the Kansas editor should feel ileft out, the colonel straightway adIdressed to him a telegram, which is a sort of supplement to the regular call. In this he makes public the little scheme which has been evolved to win votes for the Roosevelt cause. Briefly, the object of the plan is to cut Into both the regular Republican and Democratic folds with promise of local support. In certain districts where the conditions are favorable, particularly in a state where the Re publican party is weak. Col. Roosevelt expressed a willingness to have the local organization call itself by the tikle of "Progressive Democrats," pro vided it supported the national Pro gressive electors at the polls. Explains Plan In Telegram. J The colonel's telegram to Editor IWllliam Allen White follows: t "Our appeal nationally is, of course, ) to all men of progressive principles, regardless of past party differences. 'The action locally must be guided by the needs of the local situation. In fany state where there is no real Republican party I am entirely content rthat the local organization should call (Itself by the title of Progressive Democratic, if that is the local desire, and lit they support the national Progressive electors. I "Where, as in New York, New Mexi co and Colorado, the local organizations of both the Republican and the fPemocratic parties are hopelessly boss ridden and reactionary, then we must have a straight progressive ticket from top to bottom, independent of both the old parties. Where, as I un derstood to be the case in Kansas, South Dakota, California, and other states, the local Republican organization is progressive and represents the "principles for which we stand, hope ithat they will be able to make the ! fight locally for good government In ! whatever effective organization they have. ' Right to Republican Support. "I feel that this year in the progressive Republican states we should haVe the support of the organization 'itself. Moreover I feel that every.where I have a right to r-xpect the ; support of the entire rank and file of the Republican party. I made a Btraightout primary fight and in the I states where the Republican voters themselves had the chance to express (their wishes I won by 2.000,00 plurality. ! "The titular national Republican jparty today Is not the part yof the Reipu.blican voters and is not the party of Abraham Lincoln, but purely the party ' of Messrs. Barnes, Penrose, IGuggenheim & Co., who have stolen the doorplate with the name, but have no moral right to the name or anything else. Therefore I hold every honest Republican who is true to Lin coln's memory and principles must Jvote with us. 1 "Under such conditions the entire lojcal Republican organization in a state hike Kansas can rightly continue as Isuch and yet is in duty bound loyally to support the national progressive el ectors. Of course I feel that in every touch progressive Republican state the Jprogressive Republican candidates for; feny office should openly support the national progressive electors and go j 3aby Needs .

As the first step In the plan there is under preparation what will be perhaps the most elaborate political chart of the country ever made. When completed Col. Roosevelt's organizers will have data from every congressional district in the country regarding the strength of the Roosevelt following, conditions in both the Democratic and Republican state and district organizations, tabulations showing the vote in previous national elections, and lists of the best available timber for the new party among political workers and leading men in business and professlons This will be Col. Roosevelt's war map. It will show him at a glance where the best field lies in each state and district for the success of Roosevelt electoral candidates. In some cases it is hoped to arrange for fusion of the independent and Republican or Democratic tickets, provided the candidates on the local tickets will support the Roosevelt electors in exchange for having the Roosevelt strength thrown to them. Col. Roosevelt was asked whether the absejjee from the list of signers to the call to the new party's national convention of several governors who have previously supported him meant that they would not be with him in the formation of the new party. "That does not follow," he replied. "I did not make up the list. Each state did that for itself. But in Kansas, for instance. Gov. Stubbs Is heartily with us. For obvious reasons he was not asked to sign the call and that was the case with others whose names are not on the list, and who are for us." JOHN PETERSON IS KILLED AT MUNCIE John H. Peterson, aged sixteen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Peterson. of Muncie, formerly of this city, was killed last evening, when the elevator, in the Johnson block, at Muncie, which he was operating, broke and fell, crushing him to death. Young Peterson is well known here. Before moving to Mnucie, the Petersons operated a grocery on Richmond avenue. The son was a high school student. The body will be brought to this city tomorrow afternoon, arriving here about 5 o'clock, tl will be taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Shofer, 225 West Main street. The funeral arrangements will be announced later. JONES ARRESTED; SCRATCHED DEPUTY I With his pockets filled with papers, !

leading to the arrest and conviction of the "ripper" who mutilated and killed 12-year-old Julia Connors the police were today no nearer a solution of the mystery surrounding the crime and disappearance of the slayer. That the murderer may have had another victim was Indicated today when the detectives found in the box in which little Julia was placed to die, a pair of shoes and an undergarment not belonging to the Connors child. This discovery brought forth these theories : 1. That the slayer might have trap ped another girl before he lured Julia Connors to her death. 2. That another child might have as sisted the "ripper" and lured Julia to her death. 3. That another girl was ensnared by the slayer, but escaped, leaving part of her clothing. The police were deceived for 48 hours by the conflicting statements made by Florence Molz, chum of Julia Conners. She finally confessed she had been romancing about seeing a man drag away her little friend and as a result all suspects arrested because of her stories have been released. The detectives had. to start all over again today and admitted they were at sea as to any definite clew. MACVEAGH GIVEN PLEDGES OF AIDS Heads of All Departments in Treasury Tell of Their Faith in Him. WASHINGTON, July 9 Secretary MacVeagh is assured of the loyalty of all of the officials of the treasury department. Notwithstanding this assurance, the secretary Intends to put the men to a test, to determine wheth er they were really In 6ympathy with the attitude of Dr. A. Piatt Andrews, assistant secretary, who resigned and later attacked Secretary MacVeagh in an open letter. President Taft has placed his approval on Secretary MacVeagh' course. As a result the secretary reigns supreme in the treasury department and there has been a scurrying by bureau chiefs and others to get in his good graces. No successor has been chosen to Assistant Secretary Andrew. George E. Roberts, director of the min, has been mentioned for the place. Calls Andrew Claim Untrue There will be no-investigation of the treasury department by Mr.M&oVeagh. He says positively that the assertion of Dr. Andrew that his letter of resignation was approved by other officials of the department is untrue. The failure of one or more of the officials in the department to notify j Mr. McVeagh of their loyalty immedi ately after the publication of the Andrew letter was due, the secretary said, to no unwillingness on their part to do so, but only to a lack of time. They all have done so . since his return to Washington. MacVeagh Hopes for Peace. Mr. MacVeagh does not wish to have another smoldering affair like the Andrpw incident. "Now that Mr. Andrew has gone I hope to have peace in the department," he said. "I can state positively that the conditions described in his letters do not' exist. Any grievances officials may have against me are for reasons of their own and not for the ones charged by Mr. Andrew. His statement that for one time I did not speak to Mr. Hilles for six weeks when he was assistant secretary of my department is absurd. I do not think six hours elapsed often when I did not communicate with Mr. Hilles. "The objection to Mr. Andrew is not his lack of ability, but his proven lack of efficiency. By efficiency I mean the faculty and willingness to make use of his ability. Never at any time did I have use of the whole of Mr. Andrew's time, and even in the questions he did give his attention to he proved superficial and unwilling to go to the bottom of things and Incapable of decisiveness." j Not Much Difference.

FA1RVIEW HOW HAS JACK-THE-PEEPER Householders Keep Weapons Conveniently Close to Their Beds of Nights. Old rusty shotguns, rifles, revolvers and even clubs and broomsticks are lying conveniently close to the beds occupied by the "man of the house," in many a home in Fairvlew. A "Jack-the-Peeper" is now creating a reign of terror in that section of the city, frightening women and children and even "running his bluff" on a number of men. Last Sunday night a business man who is connected with the present city administration was aroused from his slumbers by an alleged "Jack-the-Peeper" and the latter almost received the worst of the deal. Grabbing a shot gun which he had cleaned and loaded the day before the former started after the peeper, who hurdled a high board fence In the rear of the bouse and ran down the alley. According to reports received by the police the man confines his maneuvres to one certain locality but when given chase always manages to "lose" his pursuers. It Is not an unusual thing to see a man, clad in negligee attire, open a door of his house

and with a weapon of some nature in his hands run after the peeper. Patrolmen have been sent to that locality on several calls during all hours of the night but have failed to locate the man of the strange actions. SNOOKS VICTIM OF INTENDED VICTIM When Frank Murray, popularly known as "Snooks" went into a saloon on South E street last evening he felt like fighting. "Snooks" shoved Frank Sours, who was standing in the saloon, and attempted to start a fight. "I'm going to 'lay' for you when you come out and I'll get you," Murray remarked, menacingly, to Sours. "Not If I see you irst you won't," Cours retorted and as soon as Murray left the place he called police headquarters. Patrol Driver Wenger arrested Murray a short distance troCa the saloon. In police court this morning he was fined $1 and costs. John Miller, who was arrested at Tenth and North F streets last night on the charge of drunk, was fined $1 and costs by the mayor this morning.

DlCKiNSOft TRUST

. THE

citement as today's municipal election i the first to be held here under the !

commission plan of government. The commission plan was adopted about a month ago following the exposure of alleged political corruption and graft in municipal affairs that would have put to shame the political ringsters In some of the largest ciUes of the country. The exposure was brought about largely by Detective William J. Burns and his dictagraph. When all the evidence of alleged graft had been made public, the better element among the cltlxens decided they had enough of the old order of things and turned to the commission plan as the best remedy in sight. On June 11th a primary was held for the nomination of ten candidates for members of the Board of Commis sioners, and today's election was held for the selection of five of the ten. These five will comprise the board. When the results of the primary were tabulated the public was somewhat Jarred to find that Mayor Harry Bacharach, under whose administration the grafters are alleged to have flourished, received the highest vote and was enUtled to first place on the list of candidates for commissioners. Also among the successful pnes were Dr. Jesse B. Thompson, millionaire banker and hotel man and leader in the fusion movement a year ago to oust "machine" from office, and Dr. P. L. Howkins, a negro physician. A peculiar feature of the situaUon was the fact that In today's election the old "machine" which put Mayor Bacharach in office last fall worked strenuously to prevent his election as a commissioner. The reason for this is to be found in the practical certainty of Dr.. Thompson's election to the board and who, with Mayor Bacharach and others running with them on the ticket, are pledged to sweep the city hall clean of all the present officeholders. The new commissioners will take office on July 16th, when the present system of government will cease to exist. A LADDER COMPANY HUNTS A LOCATION Dr. J. FT. Johnson of Connersville, and Mr. Warren of Milton, who are at the head of a company which manu facture a comblnaUon ladder and step ladder were in the city yesterday conferring with Mr. Jordan of the commercial club relative to locating a factory here. At thsTpreeent time an Indianapolis company manufacturers the company's product, but it is hoped that a location may be secured here which will be advantageous. Buy tt now. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is almost certain to be needed before the summer is over. Buy it now and be prepared for suoh an emergency. For sale by all dealers.
