bursting of more "scandal" hose han
dlcapped'the firemen and seemed to
prove Chief Croker's statement that all
of New York Is really at the-mercy
of a big fire, because of the quality of
the fire hose with which the depart
ment Is supplied. At one time the
big department store of Slegel Cooper
company was attacked and the situa

assisted the firemen, and they were
able to get control.
Third Term for Roosevelt.
Omaha, Neb,, March in. "A third
torm for Roosevelt," Is the slogan of
many, of the- delegates who arrived in
Omaha today for the republican state
convention, to be held tomorrow.
1'nder the primary rulo, the republi
can voters of Lancaster county, in
which Lincoln Is located, have sent
delegates pledged to work for Roose
velt, first, last and all the time, and
similar sentiments are. exprcsarxl by
delegates from several other coun-
WVrUu rcuubllciinstatc. Committee hat
declared for Taft, and it is likely that
he will receive the endorsement of the
convection, but an interesting situation
may arise as a result of the conflict
between the Taft and Roosevelt
forces.
