THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY. JUNE 26, 1912. BALTIMORE NEWS PLEASES COLONEL Roosevelt Sees Gains for New Party in Possible Dissen sions of Democrats. T. R. SAYS HE FEELS FIT Report That He Has Aged Greatly Since Chicago Convention Brings Laugh From Him He Says He Wasn't Nervous There. OYSTER BAT. N. Y.. June 25. With the organization of the new "Progres sive" party definitely under war. Colo nel Roosevelt returned today from Chi. cago. He was .millnar and he said he was In fighting- trim. He made It clear that the work would De puanea anrao wuu full steam on. His neighbors in Oyster Bay. who - have followed the Presidential fortunes of Colonel Roosevelt for a good many rears, did not know whether to receive him as a returning champion or a van quished warrior, but he assured those who saw him that he was not in the Wst dismayed by the happenings in Chicago. Coloael Saya He la Fit. "I understand that some of the news papers today." the Colonel remarked, "said that I returned from Chicago srreatly aged, with lines of care on my face. By George, isn't that funny?" He threw back his head and laughed. "You see how I look." he continued. "I never felt more fit in my life. And those of you who were out in Chicago kr.ow that if there was a man who was not concerned or nervous, it was I. I told them out there that If they didn't purse the convention of fraudulent delegates I would take the step I did. There was never any doufat in my mind what I would do." Colonel Roosevelt was greatly pleased at the news from Baltimroe. He said that apparently the issue among the Democrats was fundamentally the same as that in the Republican conven tion. Should serious differences de velop. It Is his belief that the new party will profit thereby, in the way of re ceiving Bupport from disaffected Demo crats. With this in mind. Colonel Roosevelt and his associates will take no definite steps until the Democratic convention has come to an end. Committee Only Temporary "There Is one thing which 1 would I'.ke to make clear," said Colonel Roose velt. "It Is that the temporary com mittee which was announced yesterday Is in no sense a National committee In the ordinary acceptance of the term. It was selected simply for the purpose of taking the first stop and calling the convention." Each state, he said, would select its own National committeeman, and there was no guarantee that any man .on the list would be the representative of his state a'ter the convention. The only action which will be taken. pending the news from Baltimore, Colo nel Roosevelt said, would be the organ ization of party machinery In the vari ous states. On reaching New York this morning Colonel Roosevult atnpped for -a few hours in his office. He dipped into a mass of letters and telegrams which was awaiting him and talked with a few visitors. DEFEAT OF BRYAX PLEASES New Party Members Say Nebraskan Can Now Join With Them. CHICAGO, June 25. "We will make them sit up and take notice. The pro gressive party Is the party of the peo ple and the people will rule." These were the words today of George W. Perkins, supporter of Colo nel Roosevelt and one of the leaders In the third-party movement, as he left Chicago for the East. News of the defeat of William J. Bryan In the Baltimore convention by the conservative faction was received with no concealment of Joy by adher ents of Theodore Roosevelt, who are busy with the preliminaries of organ lain:; a new political party in New York. "It means that Mr. Bryan can now openly declare his despair of injecting progressive principles into the Demo cratic party and there is no reason why he himself should not run with Colonel Roosevelt In the fight for po litical freedom." said Medill McCor mick. The leaders of the new party in Illi nois, it is said, have decided to nomi nate a full state ticket. Congressional and legislative candidates. Their efforts in the Congressional campaign, it is said, will be concen trated in the hope of defeating Repre sentative McKinley, who managed President Taft's campaign.

"Agitators of tbis kind have absolutely no place In our reforms. "Conditions are still bad in England for the workingman," continued Mr. Wilson. "We have strikes and we still a.-.. n .

"I am working now for an Interna tional Federation of Labor. Let all competent workmen form a world-wide combination, exert their power to clean politics and encourage industry and you will have a force that cannot be resisted. "1 do not want unions to sacrifice their identity. I merely want them to federate into one big brotherhood of intelligent, competent laborers. Of course I have not been In England since October and cannot say exactly what conditions are now. but I am keeping in touch with my colleagues by telegrams and letters and the feel ing is general" that England has at last started on the upward way.

I personally think that It Is one of the greatest examples or capital's contempt for human life that the world has ever seen. Now the government will force these big com panies to equip their boats properly. Instead of employing incompetent sea men because they can get them cheap ly, big companies will be lorced to hire men who are qualified. In their attempt to gain the dollar they will be forced at least to respect human life. 'Tour railways and transportation systems here are much better than those- in. Australia and New Zealand where they have municipal ownership. I do not believe that municipal owner ship Is a success. "1 am on a tour of the world for my health. Mrs. Wilson and I left London in October, and traveling by way of Columbo, Australia, and New Zealand, arrived in San Francisco just 86 years after I landed there on the steamer Surprise, as an able bodied seaman. I am going to Seattle to look over conditions and then will travel through Canada, returning to England by way of New York." Mr. Wilson Is president of the British Firemen's and Seamen's Union. He has been In Parliament since 1892 ex cepting one term. Prominent labor rep resentatives met Mr. Wilson at the train, upon his arrval.

When the Magona appeared, the crowd rushed upon the. -five officers guarding them. A riot call was sent in and aeveral . wagonloada of police men were soon on the scene. For a time the situation seemed dan gerous. Reinforced, the police began to use their clubs, and within five min utes more than 25 of the rioters lay on the pavement half unconscious from blows on their heads. Five women and 14 men were ar rested and the crowd broke up. Dur ing the fight the Magona remained silent spectators.

MANY FUNCTIONS PLANNED Wires of Leading Democrats and Their Friends Take " Part in Gaiety ' Attending Meeting. Mrs. Longworth to Be There. BALTIMORE, June 25. (SpeciaL) A large and interesting, feminine con tingent was on ' hand for the opening of the convention today and the social side of the gathering presented bril liant features in greater number than has any similar political event, due to the close proximity of the social cen ters of the country. New York and Washington, and the Interest that leaders of society in these cities are taking in the big Democratic gath ering. In- the west galleries of the Armory, at the right of the speaker's stand, where-are- located what are consid ered the most desirable seats of the convention hall, were the wives and daughters of the National committee men, the families of the possible can didates and the social lights from var ious parts of the country. Wives of Leaders Have Beat Seats. Here Mrs. Norman E. Mack, wife of the chairman of the Democratic National committee, has chosen seats for her self and her two daughters. Norma and Harriet. .

Etrs for temporary chairman and Kern was to refuse the crown and make a direct appeal w i i A aiihjraw and join him in selecting a candidate agreeable to all hands. Then, if Parker had the nerve to resist this grandstand effort to smoke him out. Kern was to go ahead and name Bryan. Parker stood pat and Kern had to proceed to play his final card by putting Bryan himself in the contest. It was all a very adroit and skillful maneuver, but It failed, and the convention passed into control of the conservatives. What the con ..n.tia. will do with the conven tion is subject now of fair inquiry. It now appears to be taken lor grantea h.t tha. Democratic convention will nominate a progressive, real or nomi nal. Parallel Wits. Chlrage Noted. rha nnniait tniiav wsii to determine whether , the progressive candidate should be named by the recognized pro gressives or by u.i conservatives. Now it seems that It is no to the conserva- i . ny,An.ai tti. n.i-n&-rssive candi date, as it was at Chicago. The parallel with Chicago Is otherwise striking. Clark here stands in much the same relation to the controlling forces as Taft did at Chicago. The conservatives would like to unload Clark for Under wood or Harmon, but probably they will not dare and in the end may accept Clark, because there Is no escape from the bogle of their own position. This is not at all a prediction of Clark's nomination, for ..e is far from the nec essary two-thirds. But the course of events here has been to bring aoout a partial divorce of Clark and Bryan and , n Mantffv ,ini-lr mora and more with the forces opposed to Bryan., Against this situation, ciark nas siruggi, iiu it is noticeable that Bryan has carefully ...ala.il - nn.n hra9h with th& man from Missouri.

JEROME SCORES THAW FORMER PROSECUTOR. FAILS TO AROUSE SLAYER. Motive of Killing Was on Account of Cold-Blooded Way White Did Things to Girls, He Says. . WHITE PLAINS. N. Y.. June 25. Harry K. Thaw passed five hours to day on the witness stand under fire of examination by William T. Jehome, who Is opposing Thaw's fight for release from the Matteawan asylum. Mr. Jerome remfnded the witness sud denly of the anniversary of the trag edy and questioned him .sharply as to circumstances of the killing. Both Thaw and his counsel, Clarence J. Shearn, interposed objections on the ground that Mr. Jerome was showing an animus and 'serving private inter ests." Mr. Jerome said the questioning was within the province of a "mental ex amination," and he was generally up held by Judge Keogh, but was unsuc cessful in his apparent attempts to make the witness display undue agita tion. The question of Thaw's motive In killing White did not bother the wit ness. "It was on account of the cold blooded way in which he had done things to my wife and other girls," he said. LAKES OILED FOR PESTS City Board of Health Works to Kill Mosquitoes. The war against the mosquito has been undertaken by the City Board of Health. This department for the last two days has been busying itself with sprinkling crude oil over the sufaces of lakes and pools within the city. Deputy City Health Officer Beeman has been in charge of the work. The oil has been carried in tanks to the different places where it was needed, and then poured on the water. It spread quickly over the water, crowd ing the pestiferous insects from its surface entirely. The two principal breeding points are Guild Lake and the pond formed near the Oaks, on the .Portland Kaii wav. Light & Power Company's prop erty. Two barrels of oil were poured on the former property yesterday. The street railway company has been noti fied to take care of its lake in a simi lar manner. Dr. Wheeler has announced that he will have the matter attended to through the Health Office today if necessary. The mosquitoes breed in the grass in swampy places, and . owners of prop erty where that condition obtains have been urged to have tne grass cut.
