remarks to the Indorsement of the tar
iff, plank of the Massachusetts state
platform, and of the tariff board
scheme. He said he waa advocating

Xrapr and Senator Lodge made
speeches and then the Colonel was In

that the voters compare the attitude of
the two parties In regard to the tariff.

ference as to the principle to be ob
served. In every state the Republicans
are a unit In adherence to the princi
ple expressed In the Republican plat
form that there shall be an equalisation
of the cost of production here and
abroad. The difference has been merely
as to the way of achieving the common
purpose, and more and more we are
coming Into complete harmony aa to
the method to be adopted. Our op
ponents have no such harmony.
Tariff flank Commended.
The Colonel read a commended the
tariff plank In the Massachusetts Re
publican platform, which Indi wi the
plan for a tariff board. He said Presi
dent Taft. by working for the tariff
board and for satisfactory tariff rela

to dominate another party."

Massachusetts, said the Colonel, la
really a progressiva state in spite of
the fact that other sL&ies were apt to
vrih to her conservatism which she
did not have. He said he was radical
because he espoused some things which
viiurhuutu already had. such as the
physical valuation of railroads. The
whole Republican party, ne continued.

Colonel Roosevelt closed with a trlb.
ute to Senator Lodge and an appeal to
t)i neorjle of Massachusetts to send

"I feel It would be a calamity not
only to Massachusetts, but to the Na
tion." be continued. "If Senator Lodge
were not returned to the Senate. Sen
ator Lodge has stood for progressive
legislation. I ask that Massachusetts
be true to its great traditions of the
past and send back to the United States
Senate for the honor of the country
that statesman who has himself been
true to her tradttlona,"

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31. It I; practi
cally certain that indictments against
a number of persons will follow the
deliberations of the special grand jury
called today to investigate the Times
disaster, according to the statements of
Attorney Earl Rogers and tho detectives
who worked with him in San Francisco
gathering evidence.
"We have a case that the cleverest
criminal lawyer in the world could not
break down." said Rogers. "The evi
dence of. the Times dynamiting Is com
plete. Wo know who did It. and can
prove it beyond a dovbt. All that re
mains is to arrest those who were re
sponsible for the destruction of tho
newspaper plant and its men. and that
Is almost as sure as death."
Mrs. Lavin Talkative.
Rogers' statement, although almost (
verbatim reiteration of previous re
marks regarding the case,, was made
directly alter he had questioned Mrs.
Belle Lavln. the San Francisco lodglng
housckeeper who is in the cou-ty jail
charged wtlh murder in connection with
the case.
Today tho sullen mood of Mrs. Lavln left
her and she became bright and conflden
tial. She talked at length with Attorney
Rogers, In charge of the detecUves."a.Su
apologized for her demeanor heretofore
toward the officers. Since childhood it
has made her obstinate to be spoken
to sharply, she said, and when the de
tectives demanded answers to all their
questions her temper got the better of
her Judgment.
Her revelations today are of great
Importance, but Rogers declined to say
what they are. He admitted she told
all she knew. They will have an im
mediate bearing, however, on the San
Francisco hunt for the murderers and
their accomplices. The woman seems
more Inclined to trust herself to the
officers who are accusing her of
murder than to the lawyers who are
Insistent in their demands to see her.

and laughed.

AIRSHIP SCARES FISHERS
Schooner Off Nantucket Nearly
Struck by Wellman Balloon.
NOANK, Conn., Oct. 21. When the
auxiliary fishing schooner Ada Bell put
in here tonight, the crew told of a
narrow escapo they had, of being hit
by the equllibrator of the Wellman
airship on Sunday.
Captain Harry Chrlstophsen said that
they were fishing on Nantucket shoals
during a fog Sunday morning, when
a large dark object appeared, which
they took to be a heavy bank of fog.
As the object approached, however, they
saw something bumping along on top
-of the water, and the motor was started
just in time to get the boat out of the
way, the airship passing not more than
30 feet from bhem.
The captain could easily make out
the members of the airship's crew, but
neither his crew nor Wellman's, he
said, made any effort to speak and the
balloon passed by and was soon lost
In the fog.
The crew Is the Ada Bell did not
know that Wellman had started across
the ocean until they put into port to
night. CHICKEN THIEF REPENTS
Snlem Man Receives 6 0 Cents
Through Mall for Stolen Fowls
SALEM. Or., Oct. 21. (Special.) M. E.
Grimes, of this city, was astounded today
at the action of a chicken thief who en
tered the Grimes poultry-house and
helped himself to two chickens recently.
Today Grimes received a contribution of
60 cents through the malls. Inclosed in
an anonymous letter. The letter was
marked "Poultry," and evidently was a
contribution toward a conscience fund on
the part of the thief.
As tho chickens taken were of excep
tionally fine variety and were worth
many times 60 cents, Grimes suffers a
loss. Nevertheless, he considers hlfself
the first man In history that has ever
been reimbursed to any extent by a
chicken thief.

NEW TORK. Oct. 21. Edgar Allen
Poe Is at last In the Hall of Fame.
Tears of effort on the part of staunch
supporters to have his name added to
the list were rewarded today by the
announcement of Dr. John H. Mc
Cracken, chairman of the Senate of
New York University, that this honor
had been accorded to the author of
"The Raven." with 10 others. The 11
names added follow: Harriet Beecher
Stowe, 74 votes; Oliver Wendell Holmes
and Edgar Allan Poe, 69 votes each;
Roger Williams, 64; James Fenlmora
Cooper, 62; Phillips Brooks, 60; William
Cullen Bryant, 59; Francis E. Willard.
66; Andrew Jackson, and George Ban
croft, 53 each, and John Lathrop Mot
ley. 61.
- Poet Gains 2 7 Votes.
The total number of ballots cast was
97, and the number required for choice
was 51. Poe's vote jumped from 42 in
1905 to 69, an increase of 27 votes.
An analysis of the vote shows that of
this 69 votes. 21 were cast by college
presidents, 17 by professors of history
and scientists, 18 by publicists, editors
and authors and 13 by Jurists.
Contrary to the general Impression,
the memory of the poet Is as famous in
the West as In the South, according
to the vote. Since the last election hU
fame increased more among the col
lege presidents than among any of the
other groups.
As a result of today's election, the
author's corner doubles Its population
and goes far ahead of the st.-- ien in
number. Eleven bronze tablets for the
names of those chosen will be designed,
with an appropriate quotation from th
works of each, and the formal unveiling
will tako place In October, 1911.
The vote of 74 for Harriet Beecher
Stowe Is noteworthy, as the only one
who received such a majority in tho
election In 1905 was Louis Agassiz, and
In the first election the number was
surpassed by only 14 names, including
Washington, Lincoln, Grant and Emer
son. One of the most Interesting re
sults Is that whereas the historian
Motley gained four votes over the elec
tion of five years ago, Parkman, the
historian, lost two votes. Phillips
Brooks gained 11 votes. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes Increased 20 votes, his com
petitors. Lowell and Whittier, havins
been removed by election.
Women's Names Are New.
In the vote for women the names
chosen are those of women who were
not eligible at the last election, not
having been dead 10 years at that
time. Of those who were voted for In
the last election, but still lack the nec
essary votes, Charlotte Cushman shows
a gain .from 39 to 45 votes; Martha
Washington from 32 to 43, and Lucre
tia Mott from 33 to 41.
Those failing of election by 10 votes
or less were Francis Parkman, Char
lotte Cushman, Mark Hopl-.lns, 43 each;
Patrick Henry, 44; Martha Washlrrton,
43; Daniel Boone, 42; Samuel Adams and
