INCUBUS LAID ON NATION
Burden Laid on Country With 2 8
Times Weight of Gravitation Is
Definition Given of ex-Presi
dent Taft Brings Relief.
NEW YORK. Feb. 4. Mark Twain
opinion of Theodore Roosevelt Is found
frankly expressed in one of a number
of private papers which have been col
lected here for disposal at auction
an early date and are found to contal
some excellent Indications of the late
author's method of work.
The particular manuscript In ques
tlon Is described as "an article on the
Inauguration of President Taft an
the deliverance of the country from
Mr. RooBevelt." dated March 6, 1909.
A portion of It follows:
"Astronomers assure that the attrac
tlon of gravitation on the surface
the sun Is 28 times as powerful as 1
the force at the earth's surface: and
that the object which weighs II
pounds elsewhere would weigh 6000
pounds there.-
Incnbns Laid on C'onntry.
For seven years this country ha
lain smothering under a burden like
that, the incubus representing, in th
person of President Roosevelt, the dlf
fcrence between 217 pounds and 6000,
"Thanks be, we got rid of this dis
astrous burden day before yesterday
at last, forever. Probably not. Prob
ably only on a brief breathing spell
wherein, under Mr. Taft, we may hope
to get back some of our health. Fou
years hence we may expect to have
Mr. Roosevelt sitting on us again w'th
his 21 times the weight of any other
Presidential burden that a hostile
providence would Impose upon us for
our sins. i
Roosevelt 'Sliowy Charlatan."
"Our people have adored this showy
charlatan as perhaps no impostor of
liis breed has been adored since the
golden calf; so it is to be expected
that the ration w'll want him back
again, after he Is done hunting other
na animals theoretically in Africa,
with the safeguard and advertising
equipment of a park artillery and i
brass band."
One of the early manuscripts is i
page of notes for an outline of a Dor
tlon of the story of Tom Sawyer, which
relates to the fight in the cave. Among
the note are written:
Quarrel, fight: Potter knocked dow
with Tom's shovel. Joe rushes In and
knock Potter insensible. Joe will bury
uoctor in Tom hole and will make
Potter think he Is accessory. Find's
treasure goes and hide it returns
and finds P. up. No use to bury today,
ror potter thinks he did it."

Murphy Willing to Drop Sheehan,
but Shopard Stands Pat, Says
Xcw York Legislator.
ALBANY, N. T.. Feb. 4. Before the
Democratic caucus selected William F.
Sheehan as a candidate for United States
Senator, Governor Dlx told Charles F.
Miirphy, the Tammany leader, that he
believed both Sheehan and Edward M.
Shepard should withdraw, according to
a statement tonight by Dr. Miner Mc
Danlels, Assemblyman from Tompkins
County and one of the insurgents.
Murphy, McDanlels says, told the Gov
ernor he would ask Sheehan to withdraw
if the Governor could bring about the
withdrawal of Shepard. A few days later
Murphy was told by the Governor that
Shepard had declined to withdraw. Th
organization then decided to name Shee
han.
The Governor tonight declined to affirm
or deny the story.
Sixteen Joint ballots have been taken
In which 9heehan has practically held
hi own with the Insurgents, who scat
tered their votes among eight candi
dates, Shepard leauing. The Republicans
to a man have supported Senator Depew.
At today's Joint session only 19 mem
bers were present and the ballot was
fruitless for lack of a quorum.
POSTMASTER NOT FOUND
MILLION-DOLLAR PIER
TERY UNSOLVED.
MYS-
Coast Life Guards Drag Ocean Bed
at Atlantic City in Vain Search
for Philadelphian.
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. Feb. 4.
Coast life guards who started at day
light to drag the ocean bed In the vi
cinity of the million-dollar pier for the
body of Richard L. Ashhurst, the miss
ing Philadelphia Postmaster, abandoned
their search at noon because of the
rough sea. They found no clew nor
have the police learned anything fur
thelr of the disappearance of the aged
Philadelphian.
There is little doubt In the minds
of some of the investigators that Mr.
Ashhurst actually went on the pier last
Monday night when he disappeared.
Rolling chair pushers who said they
waited for Mr. Ashhurst to come off the
pier in the hope that he would engage
one of them to wheel him to his hotel
admit they did not watch a small exit
at one side of the structure, confining
their attention to the main exit.
Members of the Ashhurst family have
left the Marlborough-Blenhelm Hotel,
according to clerks, and their present
whereabouts Is unknown.
Chief of Police Woodruff, who says
he was notified of the disappearance of
Mr. Ashhurst the night he dropped out
of sight, today expressed the belief
that the man is dead. The last person
to see him was the chair pusher, who
wheeled him to the million-dollar pier
at 8:45 o'clock Monday night.
Mr. Ashhurst, according to this man,
appeared cheerful and as he walked
onto the pier told the chair man that
he need not wait for him.
It ta known that Mr. Ashhurst. who
is 72 years old, was not well and came
to the "shore" for rest. He had apart
ments at the Marlborough-Blenheim
Hotel and several members of his fam
ily were with him.
ASHnURST IS OF OLD FAMILY
3IIssing Manerved With Distinc
tion in the Civil War.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4. The disap
pearance of Postmaster Richard L. Ash
hurst of Philadelphia, at Atlantic City,
was a shock to his friends here.
Born a member of an old and wealthy
Philadelphia family, Mr. Ashhurst be
longed to the exclusive social element
of the city. He was born in Naples,
Italy, while his family was temporarily
living abroad. He wa graduated from
the University of Pennsylvania and was
a member of the Philadelphia bar lor
El years.
He served in the Civil war until dis.
charged for wounds received at Gettys
burg, having been breveted captain for
meritorious services at Cbancellorsvllle
and Major-General for distinguished
gallantry at Gettysburg.
Mr. Ashhurst was never active in
politics but was appointed postmaster
by President Roosevelt and last year
was, reappointed for a second term.
INDEPENDENCE IS DESIRE
PHLIIPPINE DELEGATE SAYS
ISLANDS WOTJUD BE NATION.
Progress Handicapped by Doubt as
to American Policy Islands
Would Help in War.
BOSTON, Feb. 4. "What my coun
trymen most fervently desire Is the
right to govern themselves and to be
come, without restriction of any kind,
a free and independent nation."
This was the declaration made to
night by Manuel L. Quezon, delegate
to Congress from the Philippine Is
lands, in an address before the Beacon
Society, of Boston.
"Whether this shall be most expedi
tious by an international agreement
providing for the neutralization of the
Islands," he continued, "or whether the
speedier course would be through the
establishment of an American protec
torate, I don't here pretend to say, but.
whatever the method selected to bring
about this result, the fact remains that
the Filipino people look confidently to
the early realization of their cherished
ideal.
"It Is not too much to say that the
material development and prosperity
of the islands today is seriously handi
capped by the uncertainty and doubt
regarding the policy of this Govern
ment toward them.
"If the Philippines shall be granted
their Independence by the American
Nation, they will naturally and prop
erly feel a heavy debt of gratitude for
that boon and with the political and
International situation what it is in
the Orient today, it might well become
a matter of no little moment to Amer
ica to be at once relieved of the ex
pense of maintaining her sovereignty
in the Philippine Islands and at the
same time to be assured of the loyal
support and assistance of the entire
Filipino people In the event of hos
tilities, which ought not to, but which
sometimes do, occur."

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. In order to

United States troops along the Mexi
can frontier, the War Department to

Two pack trains also were ordered to

Aside from the statement from Gen

ment of Texas, that an attack on
Cludad Juarez was Imminent, the War
Department today was without advices
from the front.
General Hoyt said it was reported
hat the revolutionists number about
000. The revolutionists are In pos
session of the country west of Chi
huahua and all of the government
roops have been withdrawn from the
Guerrero district to Chihuahua ac
cording to a telegram received by the
Department from American Vice-Con
ul Leonard at Chihuahua.
All Is quiet at Chihuahua the Con-
ul added, and the Mexican North
western Railroad is running its trains
Madera without molestation from
the revolutionists.
It Is rumored, Mr. Leonard continued,
that all bridges and telegraph wires
ave been destroyed between Gallago
nd the border, and that repair trains
have been sent to the scene.

several days ago for Onavas. Since
then there has been constant flghtlnp.
At one time the Mexican commander

occurred, but Torres battled his way
as far as San Ueronimo, where the
fighting is said to be rasing now with
