(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

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.
Ankle Aluo Fractured at Age of 10
lufi "Athletic Career" Was
Object.
Cincinnati, O. 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. The youngster la the son of R.
G Neof a Greek who claims that he
was a student of physical culture in
G recce
Neof told the officers that he had
broken the wrists and ankles of his
son when he was ten days old and a
month later began training the baby
for an athletic career. In his per
formance the Neof child dislocated
his ankles and wrists at will and
caused them to assume many unnat
ural positions.
By bending backward with hands
and feet on the floor in a wrestlers
bridge, the child easily supported 1&0
pounds on his chest.
JAIL FINALLY GETS INMATE.
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.

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.
Italy Turns Down Proposal to Celc

Birthday.
Rome. A body of Italian pacifistias
addressed Signor Credaro, the Minis
ter of Public Instructions, asking him
to have George Washington's Birth
day celebrated as a peace day In all
the schools of Italy.
Signor Credaro answered that a
public manifestation for peace at this
moment would lend itself to an in
exact and damaging interpretation.
He concluded:
"We will celebrate peace day again
immediately after the blood of our
soliHers. the flower of our Italian
youth, has given our country he j
rights, together with "the respect of
the whole world."
