horse, foot and dragoons, and the work
of a convention that will be led if not
dominated by the ex-Presidcnt-
The "old guard" set out in the pres
ent Instance to eliminate Roosevelt by
electing a majority of delegates to the
state convention opposed to him per
sonally and to the Roosevelt policies.
The reverse having resulted, it now de
clares it did not want to win at all this
year, because Roosevelt will be in a
worse predicament as a winner than he
would be aa a loser.
Old Guard Surrenders.
In other words, "the old guard," which
"dies but never 'surrenders," has sur
rendered. Its chief mogul admitted to-
nle-ht the nresence of a Roosevelt ma
jority In the convention which willneet
on Tuesday, but not by the big margin
claimed by Chairman Griscom, pf the
New York County committee, field mar
shal of the anti-"old guard" forces.
Griscom holds to a minimum of 670
out of a total of 1015 delegates. The
"old guard" says the Roosevelt lead
will not amount to more than 30 votes,
and Roosevelt would have been beaten,
it declares, had it not been for one or
two flukes within the last two weeks.
No Use to Win.
"What would it have profited us to

quiring blandly, to fit the emergency.

VOLCANIC SHOCKS
PUT 7 TO FLIGHT
SERIES OF 52 VIOLENT EARTH
QUAKES ARE FELT BY GAXG.
Eruptions in Extinct Crater Increase
so Alarmingly That Workmen
Break Camp In Xight.
FLAGSTAFF. Ariz., Sept. 25. Seven
members of a construction gang arrived
here tonight with the story that they
had been driven away from their work
near the base of an extinct volcano in
the Coconino forest, 45 miles north of here
by a series of 53 violent earthquakes.
Last Friday night, when slight quakes
were felt here and in other northern Ari
zona towns, the shocks were so violent
and he rumblings within the dead vol
cand so terrifying that the men broke
camp and left in a panic.
C. McNichols, foreman of the gang,
told the story, which is corroborated by
all of his men. He said the shosks began
on the night of Saturday, September 10.
The first were slight, but they became
stronger each day and night until the
final one Friday. The first shocks threw
a lamp off a camp box in McNichols
tent and broke down his bed. He rolled
off the mattress, but the next quake, more
violent than the rest, threw him back
on the bed.
McNichols found all his men outside
their tents wildly excited and being
frightened himself, he ordered camp
broken and at midnight the seven men
began their march to this city.
There is some apprehension here that
the volcano, which apparently has been
extinct for ages, is about to become act
ive again.

CLEVELAND. O., Sept. 25. (Spe
cial ) Drink is my son's only fault. In
all other respects he is a model lad,"
said John C. Stubbs. traffic director of
the Harriman railroads, who -reached
here at 8 o'clock from his Chicago home
on receipt of word that his son, Don
ald Patterson Stubbs, had shot himself
and was near death in Lakeside Hos
pital. "Drink was his only fault, and I can't
see that when he tays that his shootinn
was an accident, it can be otherwise
than true. My son, in the few talks 1
have been able to have with him while
he was out from under the influence of
opiates, has impressed on me time and
again today the fact that he shot him
self by accident.
Victim Willing t" Dlc-
"He is penitent and discouraged and
not anxious to recover, t .ouRh, outside
his drinking he is a model youth, bright,
happy. Intelligent and --lth an excel
lent career ahead of him."
Out at the Stubbs home, 1850 East
Eighty-first street, Mrs. Stubbs. a bride
of only a few months, is prostrated.
She was Miss Marguerite Wheeler, of
New York City, and was married last
June. She cannot see anyone, but Mrs.
Annette AVheeler, of New York, her
mother, who has been with her daugh
ter for several weeks, says her daugh
ter insists the shooting must have been
accidental. .;
"I think so, too," said Mrs. Wheeler
today.' "Donald was in a Jolly humor
when he left the house last evening to
attend a business meeting. He and
Marguerite have been happy and con
tended that there Is no reason why he
should commit suicide.
Revolver Recent rurclia.se.
"Donald was always contented and
ci.eerful. He did not have a revolver
until the last day or two That ex
plains why the police found a new box
of cartridges. We were talking only
Thursday of the Rice murder and other
tragedies here lately and of the many
hold-ups. Donald said we ought to
have a gun in the house. I suppose he
bought one after that talk and had not
brought it home yet. There was no
reason why he should shoot himself.
My daughter and I believe it to have
been accidental."
Stubbs staggered from his office at
No. 305 Williamson building. Just be
fore midnight last night, crying to an
elevator man:
"I need help, I've shot myself acci
dentally." That was all the words he would say,
even when taken to Lakeside Hospital,
where it was found the bullet had en
tered above his heart and had taken a ,
downward course, being lodged in uls
back.
Surgeons today decided it too danger
ous to probe for the bullet. They say
Stubbs has only one chance to live
only a fighting chance. The police
searched the office while Stubbs was
being taken to the hospital. They found
the desk ransacked and papers scat
tered about the floor. The policemen
who made the search marked their re
port "attempted suicide."
Donald Stubbs was appointed to the
general agency of the Union Pacific
here last July, after his marriage to
Miss Wheeler.
