ROOSEVELT DENIES POINDEXTER STORY BULLET IN SKULL TOO BIG FDR HOLE THE AUGUST DELINEATOR NOW IN WASHINGTON REPRESENTATIVE WHOSE CLAIM OF .SUP PORT FOR SENATOR ROOSEVELT REPUDIATES. Maggioni Glov. s Maggioni Gloves FREE LESSONS IN IRISH CROCHET FREE LESSONS HARDANGER EMBROIDERY Colonel Says He Expressed No Opinion on Washington Senatorship. FACTIONS TO BE AVOIDED Regulars as Well as Insurgents Wel come at Oyster Bay Opposing Leaders In New York to Have Audience. XEW YORK. July 6. Colonel Roose velt denied flatly today that he had piven Representative Miles Poindexter any assurances of support In his contest for a seat In the United States Senate from Washington. He had taken no stand with reference to any. contest for a nomination, he said. This statement followed the Intima tion, presumed now to have emanated from Poindexter or some of his friends, that Colonel Roosevelt had promised his support to the Washington Insurgent. It was given out from the office of the Out look, where Colonel Roosevelt arrived from Oyster Bay this morning In an auto. It was as follows: "Colonel ' Roosevelt will see very many Sen; ors and Congressmen, As semblymen and other public officials, representing all phases of public opin ion. He declines to be respmslble for any statements except those he him self makes. He said nothl; s ' In tends to say nothing as to any contests for a nomination. If he has anything to say on such a subject it v-ill be -er his own signature. o Opinion Expressed. "All that Mr. Roosevelt said ir. this case was that he was pleased to find that, as he, had expected from Mr. Poln dexter's past record, Mr. Poindexter was in hearty sympail .' v.-ith Mr. Roosevelt's views as to conservation and similar subjects. Mr. Roosevelt expressed no opinion about the Sen atorial contest, and Mr. Roosevelt be lieves Mr. Poindexter is not respon sible for the statements which have ap peared. Certainly, insofar as these statements have quoted Mr. Roosevelt, except as above indicated, they had no foundation whatever in fact." Colonel Roosevelt is to talk politics with regulars as well as insurgents. He announced today that he was to see William Barnes, Jr., and James W. Wadsworth, Jr. These, men are two of the leaders . of the New York State Republican organiza tion which last week went counter to the wishes of Governor Hughes and Colonel Roosevelt and defeated the direct nom inations bill. Barnes Conference Delayed. -Colonel Roosevelt set no date for his interview with these men. His talk with Mr. Barnes, at least, will be delayed for some time, as the Albany man sailed to day for Europe for a. rest of a month. The Colonel refused to make any com ment on Mr. Barnes' statement of yes terday that he didn't "take orders'" from an ex-President or a Governor. Colonel Roosevelt said also that he was trf see Senator Beverldge, of Indiana, and Congressman Hamilton Fish, of New York. soon. The Colonel received a delegation of Pittsburgers today and promised to make an address in Pittsburg in the Fall. His address will be on some subject bearing on civics. Ex-Governor A. J. Montague, of Vir ginia, also called on Mr. Roosevelt. rOIXIEXTEK XOT REPUBLICAN Ballinger Declares Him Socialist and Thinks T. R. Deceived. WASHINGTON, July 6. Secretary Ballinger of the Interior Department returned to Washington from Beverly today.. Referring to the report from Oyster Bay that ex-President Roose velt had espoused the cause of Repre sentative Miles Poindexter as a candi date for the Senate to succeed Sena tor Piles of Washington, the Secretary said : "If the published report is true, Mr. Roosevelt 'has been led astray by the deception of people who claim to be his friends.". He added that he had taken no active part in the politics of Washington for a long while, and denied that he headed the party in that state or any wing of it. "I do not consider Mr. Poindexter a Republican," he continued, "but a rank Socialist, or rather, if he is not one, he will be one soon." The Secretary declined to discuss the reorganization of the Reclamation Service insofar as it related to Ii- rector Frederick H. Newell, whose fate has long been a matter of conjecture, except to say that he considered Mr. Newell's relation to the service as its head a misfortune. . "Who gave out that news, Poindex ter?" is what Joseph G. Cannon, Speak er of the House of Representatives, asked a newspaper interviewer late last night on his return to Washington after a trip to a neighboring sea shore resort. Informed .that the intimation that Representative Poindexter of Washington would have the sympathy of ex-President Roosevelt in his can didacy for Senator from that state had come from both Mr. Poindexter and Colonel Roosevelt, Mr. Cannon declined to comment further on the situation "until he knew more of it." TAFT MEX ARE REASSURED With Poindexter. In Ananias Club, Administration Is Relieved. OREGON'IAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, July 6. If Representative Poin dexter, because of his apparently un justified announcement after his visit to Oyster Bay yesterday, does' not re ceive membership In an Ananias Club he will at least find himself in the in bad club, along with other politicians who. in times past, have sought to place Theodore Roosevelt on record against his will. . Official Washington was much per turbed last night and this morning by an Associated Press dispatch from Oyster Bay representing Roosevelt as championing Poindexter in his Sena torial race and denouncing Secretary Ballinger, for if that report were true, It waa believed Roosevelt would have to break with Taft, Inasmuch as Taft nas declared his purpose to stand by Ballinger and is fighting the insur gents. If Roosevelt were so enamoured of Pfcindexter, the rankest of insurgents arid stranger to him until yesterday, it wis felt he would go to any extreme torelp Insurgents in their fight against Taft and the present Administration.

DATE SET IS NOVEMBER Oregon Horticultural Society Plans to Celebrate Twenty-fifth Anni versary by Launching Im portant Movement. Portland will have a big apple show In November. Former apple shows held here will fade into Insignificance in comparison. The show will assume National im portance, because of the prominence" of Oregon as an apple state. While the display will not be in any way a rival, in a competitive sense, of the National Apple Show at Spokane, it is expected that in a few years it wiy equal even that event in importance, for it is In tended to add to the scope of the show and make it an annual affair. The Oregon State Horticultural So ciety planned the coming apple show, but the hearty cb-operatlon and back ing of all - the business interests of the city, the Commercial Club, the ho tel men and others have been secured and all are working with enthusiasm. The Commercial Club has offered a $100 trophy for the best showing of 50 boxes of apples. The Hotel Oregon has offered a $50 trophy. Other offers of financial assistance are being made and even thus early there is no doubt of the success of the affair, Judging from the ger.eral enthusiasm and lib eral backing. The November apple show will mark the quarter centennial of the Oregon State Horticultural Society, and special exercises will be held on that account. It is thought nothing could be more fitting to celebrate the completion of the twenty-fifth year of the society's existence than the launching of a big apple show that will be held each year, spreading the fame of Oregon's fruit. Fifty-box exhibits from the apple districts of the state will be arranged for and in this way the whole state will enter Into the show and par ticipate freely in the competition for prizes. The hotel men of the city have named a special committee consisting of Phil Metschan, Jr.; C. J. Kaufman, B. D. Jorgensen and M. C. Dickinson. This committee was busy yesterday, and the hotels already are lined up for the apple show. The well known hosts of the city are vying with each other in offering trophies for the best apples and a good-natured rivalry has been engendered in this way that will go far toward making the show a great success. Commercial bodies outside of Port land, it is believed, will donate' trophies for county displays. They will be in vited to do so soon, so that the pro moters will know what to depend upon. President Atwell, of the Horticul tural Society, leaves Saturday for the East, but he will return a full month before the apple show opens, and mean while will be busy with plans for it3 success.

SHIP ABLAZE; ALL SAVED Sister Boat to Ill-Eated General SIo cuni Scorched Xo Panic NEW YORK, July 6. The old wooden three-deckel. Grand Republic, a sister ship of the Ill-fated excursion steamer General Slocum, caught fire today while passing through the Narrows on her way to New York from Far Rock away. She hurried, full steam ahead, with her whistle blowing a continuous succession of short nervous blasts and a plume of smoke trailing behind her, for a Brooklyn pier. Her 45 passengers all were landed safely and the fire was extinguished with, $2500 damare. but there was great alarm in the city and on the harbor until all de tails were known. Everybody remem bered how, a little more than six years ago the Slocum caught fire in the East River when crowded with more than 1500 pleasure seekers mostly women and children, and waa burned to the waters' edge with 938 drowned, crushed or baked alive. Today, as then, the fire started in the galley and spread quickly through the wooden superstructure. There was no panic. The women were badly frightened but the crew had no trouble in keeping them in hand and the children were so pleased with the music of the band, which kept playing, that they never knew their danger. The calls for aid from the Grand Re public brought fire boats, tuge, steamers and a Brooklyn fire engine to the pier. CYCLONE WRECKS CIRCUS One Killed and Score Injured in South Dakota Storm. ST. PAUL, July 6. A special from. Watertown, S D., says: One dead and a score more or less in jured, the main tent and menagerie tent of a big circus in ruins, and two horses killed, is the result of a cyclonic storm' here last night The dead man was a circus employe and the injured are said to be performers. A large crowd was In the circus tent at Watertown when the storm struck. The management of the circus warned the spectators, and there was a stampede for the exits as the tent began to sway and the big poles were lifted from the ground. The animals in the menagerie tent were locked in their cages and the elephants had been loaded in cars when it iras seen a storm was coming. This undoubtedly averted a stampede. The spectators had barely left the tent when the first gust ripped the canvas into ribbons. The canvas caught fire from the lamps and was carried blazing into the air. Western Minnesota and Eastern South Dakota were visited last night by severe wind and electrical stormy which may have caused loss of life and great dam age to cities and farming communities. The storm seems to have followed a well-defined path from Benson and Madi son, Minn. Details are meager. "Wires are down west from these points, and the tele phone and telegraph messages could not be sent through at points on the Great Northern and Minneapolis & St. Louis roads from these cities as far west as Watertown, S.

HAT PIN THEORY DISCARDED Moldering Bones Are Found Xot Far From Place Where Body of Young Woman Was Picked Up In - February of This Year. SAN FRANCISCO. July 6. The mystery surrounding the identity of the unknown man whose moldering bones were found undr the redwoods on Mount Tamalpais last Monday was deepened today when Coroner Sawyer sav-in the skull, a bullet which was too large to have passed through the hole in the temple of the skeleton. Aa Sawyer was working with the skull a 22baliber. bullet was jarred loose from somewhere inside. An attempt to fit it to the small aperture in the temple was unsuccessful and the Coroner was forced to discard the theory that the hole had been made by a gunshot. On account of the thickness of the bones surrounding the hole, the Coroner ridiculesthe theory that it might have been made by the hatpin found near the body. Although not on the same trial where the woman's bones were found last Feb ruary, the resting place of the. man's skeleton is readily accessible from the scene of her death and lies .just beyond the nearest running water, where a murderer might have gone to remove the bloodstains after crushing the woman's head with the big stone found near her bones. To account for the bullet inside the skull. Coroner Sawyer" points out that the man might have shot himself through the mouth or an eye. No weapon was found with the bones, but a thorough search of the ground where the body lay has not yet been made. The shoulder of the skeleton was half covered with vege tation and it Is possible that a weapon may be buried in the mold where the bones rested.
