BURKE, OWNER. (By John E. Lathrop, Washington Correspondent of Newark News.) Washington, Feb. 7. The atory told by newspaper men wno accompanied President Taft to Ohio last week does nnt Vw.;i ntt thnt whlnh waft Kiven out by the newspaper statement of! the president's party. These scriDes, all experienced political observers, simply affirm that those parts of Ohio to which the preldential party went are on fire with Roosevelt sen timent. Cleveland, Columbus and Akron are referred to. The writers assert that aerious mipxtinn Mliitd that the nresident will be able to control the delegation from , his own state, if those parts visited be any criterion whence to judge the remainder of the slate. It was ap parent, they say, that the republican . progressives are manue-aing a dispo sition to get together. Roosevelt seems to be falling heir to virtually all of the" strength that has been gen erated by that movement. It is suspected that these things n.n i i t fha iti n n :i ru lf tllA RIC IVIIVII II L J .w a . president, and they do not feel that ' degree of confidence they showed in j the'r published utterances, ft is ap- parent they realize at last what sort' of a task they have cut out for them in Ohio. They rea ize that the j Rooseve't movement Is a live politi-. cal quantity, and that it is increasing every day. It Is doubtless true, however, that the president strengthened himself by injecting somewhat more of vigor into his methods of .campaigning. His workers have complained that he lacked the affirmative quality they : and Mnce his Ohio speeches they appear to address themselves with more confluence, so far as the general phases of the fight arp concerned. But, as to the specific Roosevelt! pha e. It is now beyond quibble tnai these Taft men are sorely perplexed. "How can we fight a man -who Isn't a candidate, and yet who Is the big gest sort of a candidate?" they ask. None comes forward with the prop er answer. The result of the Cook county, Illi nois, caucuses which were unani mous for Roosevelt, 60 being held worries the white house. Illinois stands next to New York as one of the three most powertul states politi cally in the Nnited States. In it is the city that ranks next to New York in size and business Importance, Chi cago. Th whole middle west Is largely affected by the influences that flow from that state. In other states of the middle west, likelike tendencies are noticed. In Minnesota, the Progressive movement and gained strong hold. The state for a time was thought to be for La Follette, although it was knawn that a very hard fight was in store. It now looks as though Minnesota would be for Roosevelt. Even in the congressional district from which James A. Tawney came to congress, the First, it appears to be almoft certain that Roosevelt delegates win go to the state convention. The speaker cf the Minnesota house of representatives, H. H. Dunn, is quoted as saying that that district will give Roosevelt delegates, with the exception of Winona City, the home of Tawney. Tawney was one of the bitterest enemies of Roosevelt. The two exchanged hostile statements while both were here In official life. Their fight was nationally conspicu ous. Yet that district, whence for 20 years Tawney came, appears to be for Roosevelt, for the Information upon which the statement is based does not by any means come solely from Speaker Dunn. The agreement between the Roose velt and La Follette forces In Ne braska to join Issues augurs also for the capture of that state by the Roosevelt men. The spirit of "get together" Is regarded as likely to spread over the middle western coun try, so that which has been looked on as a prime essential seems to be in a fair way to be realized. If this is done, the progressives will prob ably make a much better showing than it has been though up to lately they could make. All of those signs and portents are read with sober faces by the political astrologers who serve at the white house. They are visibly worried. The logic of all of this, ns seen here, is that the mixed situation so apparent a short time ago is begin ning to clear; and it bears out the prognostications of those who called ;it'ention to the drift that would en sue of La Follette followers into the Roosevelt camp. Some of these men are going in that direction, with lin gering expressions of the resentment they feel at the' forces that are push ing them along. Yet they are going, and It is realized that others will go with them who have been vigorous in their support of Senator La FoN lette. Many of Senator La Follette's fol lowers feel keenly the necessities that seem to forco them ' to align with Roosevelt. They continue to say ihat they regret it. Some of them soy it with bitterntss. It is recalled that, when Roosevelt was president, he and La Follette never were on good terms. Roosevelt often very often expressed the opinion that La Follette was not safe, that he was ultra-radical. La Follette frequently very frequently opined that Roosevelt was not progressive enough. The two could not mix. La Fol lette seldom went to the white house. During the late part of the Roosevelt regime, he remained away. It Is therefore, no surprise to many here to witness the failure of the former president and the Wisconsin states man to come together now.

Humane society of ficers here witnessed a private per formance given by a three-year-old boy whose ankles and wrists had been broken when he was ten days old in order to make an acrobat and wrest ler.

Bastilc at Last Found of Use by Town In Texas. San Antonio, Tex. In the thriving little city of Fredericksburg, seat of government in Gillespie coumj, miles to the northwest of San Anto nio, where the German and English language vie with eacn oiner wi popularity, there is a jail. It was erected a number of years ago, not because there appeared to be any special need tor a Jail, but because a county seat would not be complete without such an institution. It has had a quiet and peaceful ex istence, occupied only by a janitor, a jailor never having 'been necessary. The people of Fredericgburg long have viewer the building with pride and had about come to Deneve u would never be necessary to confine a prisoner there. Now the 'peace of the place has hpen disturbed, for a young man has been locked in one of the cells. He is charged with failure to distinguish rirnnprl v between his property and another's, but it is not the nature of the charge that makes him an ODject nr interest. He is the first prisoner to be confined in the county jail and as such, is entitled to fame in Fred ericksburg. (Special Correspondence.) Milton, Ore , Feb. 7.

BAD BUMPS HIS SALVATION. Falling Man Breaks Five Joists, But Retains His Lire. Atlantic City, N. J. Losing his footing on the fourth floor of a build ing upon which he was employed as a carpenter, John McCarthy,, of pow erful physique, went crashing toward the ground, where his copanions ex pected him to land a lifeless mass. Fifteen feet below the point at which he had lost his footing Mc Cartney's body came in contact with a joist an inch in thickness, but it crumbled like tinder under his weight and his body again plunged down ward. Four other joists were encountered In the same way, but r.one of them held, and McCartney's fad, temporar ily checked each time, continued un til he landed in the basement. As his companions rushed toward him the carpenter rose to his feet and, leaning against a pillar, calmly brush ed the dirt fro mhis clothing. He was hurried to the city hospital, where the house surgeons found that two broken ribs constituted the sole in juries he had sustained. WAR BLOCKS PEACE FETE.
