UNITED PEESB LEASED WinB.l Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 27. Long before the special train bearing Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and two car loads of newspaper correspond ents pulled into Cheyenne today the stage was all set for his entrance. The frontier had como to Cheyenne. Cowboys galloped about the streets; patient cow ponies stood at hitch racks before the stores, and the town was thronged with holiday people. A reception committee was lined up at the station long before the colonel's train rolled in and the day's show of outdoor sports and ranch men's play was ready to be started when the distinguished visitor, whoso speech is the only deviation from the athletic features of tho celebration, arrived. Long before the train pulled in the parade of soldiers, cowboys, cow girls, civic societies and fraternal orders was ready to move .past the reviewing stand where the colonel of rough riders was to review it. The parade was just n opening. It was a grand entrance for the entire cast of whooping cowboys, jumping steers , swinging ropes, bucking bronchos, six shooter play and gen eral jollification of the Frontier day celebration. Senators Warren and Borah greeted Roosevelt when his train rolled into tho station here. A cow boy escort on prancing cow ponies surrounded the big touring car in which the representative of the East rode out to view the parade of tho old West. As the procession moved away eight troops of cavalry from Fort Russell fell In behind the for mer president's automobile. The route mapped out by the reception committee was altered slightly, Roosevelt being driven first to tho home of Senator Warren. After a ! short stbp there, where ho shook hands with a number of distin guished callers, ho entered the car 305 Miles, 202 Minutes. Elgin, Ills., Aug. 27.

Livingstone, in a National, sensational winner of the Illi nois trophy race yesterday, fin ished second. Tho race could well bo called the Vanderbllt'cup of tho west. Thirteen racing automobiles circling the zig-zag 8-mlIea course, were run at express train speed over ono of tho fast est and most dangerous tracks in the country. At almost every lap after the race "was half over a car fell out because of acci dents but nono of the daring riders were injured. again and was taken to the capltol grounds. No sooner had the colonel entered the stand than the parade, which al ready had been formed, began to pass. Five thousand regular troops. 2,500 cowboys, a number of girls in eWstern garb and seated on jumping ponies, passed tho stand. A hun dred Indians In full war' paint, a number of their patient squaws bearing papooses in their arim, trudged past. Behind them marched the civic societies and the fraternal orders. The parade presented a gaudy pic ture. The troopers, with their shin ing weapons; the Indians, in their rich colors; tho cowboys and the cowgirls, In the striking dress of the (Continued on Page 5.)

Colo nel Theodoro Roosevelt today de clined to reply at this time to the editorial published in tho New York Evening Post yesterday attacking him for speeches made on his West ern trip. "I have nothing to say today," ho remarked when 'shown tho editorial by a representative of the United Press. "This js tho kind of attack it is expected tho Post, of course would make as soon as a genuine, practical movement for decont, clean politics is attempted in Now York." Tho editorial was shown to th colonel as ho was leaving tho review ing stand after having watched the passing of tho parade of tho Fron tier day celebration. Ho glanced at it, waved his fist and hissed through his teeth as ho was stepping from tho stand: "Just what I expected." There Is no doubt but that Roose velt believes tho attack is tho open ing gun of tho fight that ho has started In New York. Tho attack against the colonel In tho Post was bitter and charged that ho had posed as a corporation hater in order to make tho corpora tions contribute funds for his elec tion to a third term in 1912. "Such wild whirling words as Roosevelt utterod yesterday are n curse to public life," tho editorial began. 'I'll mako the corpora tions como to time,' shouted Roose velt to the mob," tho editorial con tinued. "But didn't ho really mean ho would mako thorn como down with cash to elect him aa thoy did before?" Tho attack evidently aroused the colonel's anger and ho Indicated that ho would reply fully aa soon aa he had had time to consider It more carefully. Though ho was angry, 11 was evident that an attack coming 'rom tho Post did not surprlso htm, and it Is believed by many of those close to tho former president, that he fully realized that his return to politics, especially In Now York, would mean just such a fight against him. But, they declare, knowing It would bo a fight, bo will keep his promise to fight back and to "give thorn all tho fighting they want." Tho fight evidently Is to be carried on without quarter on either side, the colonel's friends assert. Tho di rectness of tho attaok and its bitter ness show tho depth of tho feeling that has been aroused by Roosevelt'1 onslaught against tho "old guard," they declare, and they expect the rent of the struggle In New York to be marked with , bitterness and per-etttiall'y. Body Found Under Floor. Point Marlon, Pa., Aug. 27. The body of Frank Ringle, who disappeared August 1G, was found today burled under the floor of tho garage of W. L. Harvey, a wealthy resident of Marlon. Rlngle's head had been crushed by a blow and tho police aro certain ho was mur dered. Harvey yesterday no ticed blood stains In th garage. Today noticing that tho earth en floor had been displaced, ho brushed nway tho dirt and dis covered a human hand. Harvey called tho police and Rlngle's body was disinterred. A hundred dollars which RInglo had was not found In his pock eta and it Is believed robbery was the motive for tho murder. The police are seeking an em ploye of Harvey who resigned Thursday.

Now York, Aug, 27. Rioting, pis tol fights and suicide marked the re sumption today of tho garment mak ers' strike, at a moment whon lead ers among both omployers and em ployes were announcing that hos tilities wero suspended and work would bo resumed on Monday. The renewal of tho strike resulted from tho objection of tho strikers to tho proposal made by their leadors that tho union concede tho closod shop. So bitter was tho feeling against the men who suggested compromise on that basis that Treasurer Lonnon, who announced tho plan to the strik ers In1 meeting, was driven from tho hall. The working men and women wore enraged atnny suchi encroach ment on What they claim aro their absolute rights. Morris Lovenson, a cloakmaker, on learning that work was not to bo re sumed, killed himself. His funds had. .been .exhausted by" the,, seven months' lay-off. Holding that the "labor union. in ordering tho. strike to enforce their demands of closed shop violated tho law," Justice Goff of the New York supremo court today Issued what la considered tho most sweeping anti union injunction over given in New York state. Tho order came as the result of a. bill for an Injunction filed by, tho Cloak and Suit Manufacturers' asso ciation against the International Garment Workers' union. The manufacturers considered tho In junction as the strongest decision ngainst labor unlona ever rendered In America. In issuing the restraining order tho court says: "If it is law that the employers cannot combine, tho same law ap plies to tho unions; wnat employers may not do, tho workmen may not do. Tho primary purpose, of thjs strike aa not to better conditions fpr tho working men but to- deprive other men of tho opportunity or the right to work, and to drive them from the Industry which required skill. Tjxcso men htfVo tho right .to pursue and gain a livelihood without being subjected to doing, tbinsa.whlch. 'to them arp disagreeable and repugnant."' COMPANY CONSENTS TO REDUC TION OF ABOUT 10" PER CENT - THE LOWEST HATES WILL JfOT BE DISTURBED, REDUC TIONS BEING ON inOUEST CHARGES. After a conference lasting for two days between tho officials of the Wells Fargo Express company, and the members of tho Oregon Railroad commission an agreement was en tered Into yesterday afternoon ut Portland, whereby tho expresa rates in this state will bo reduced on tin avorago of about 1G per cent, and thoro will bo no furthor contention or litigation in relation to tho sub Ject. Tho schedule finally agreed upon at tho conference represents about 84 per cent of the present rates, but a sliding acalo of reductions la made, so that In dollars and cents tho re ductions rango from nothing to $1. Lowest Rates Not Disturbed. Tho lowest rates wore undis turbed, Thoy were allowed to pre vail as the expresa ratea as thoy now exist in Oregon aro lower than those In any other state in tho Union. Aa an Illustration of what Is meant when it la said that tho lowest rates will not bo changed, It may be pointed out that whoro the rate la 40, CO and CO cents per 100 pounds, there will bo no reduction, Whore tho rate la now 70 cents, however, there will be a reduction to 65 cent. Between tboso points whero tho present rates aro higher than those montloned, thero will bo made a corresponding reduction. Tho pres ent rate from Portland to Ashland, for example, la $2.50 por 100 pound and will bo reduced to $2,10. TUi highest rato between any two points la the stato is $3.75 and this will tw reduced to $2.76. Investigation Lasted a Year, The Investigation of the xpre rates wero commenced about a year ago by, tho commiaslon, and after a hearing was held on tho subject the commission Issued an ordor directing that tho rates bo reduced 10 pc cent. The express company, how ever, Indicated that It desired to have a conforonco with tho commis sion and suggested that if ono waa hold concessions might bo mado and litigation avoided. With this end la view the commlsson suspended tho order and granted tho conference with tho result. Tho rates affected by tho change will number about 28,000. Tho rato clerk of tho commission and tho ono representing tho oxprosa company, aro now engaged In formu lating a achedulo, and the order will probably go Into effect on Octobor 1.. o I a m ma e n u n m v hub w tigr h h is m m TWO 6IRLS BY TEAM Damage Estimated at Nearly Half a Million-Vast Amount of Lumber arid Three Million Shingles Destroyed). . f BNITEII PniRH VelKKO WIIiB.1 Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 27.- -FJro MISSES NEIiTilB ROBERTS AND VERNA COODER TRAMPLED BY HORSES THE LATTER BERI OU8LY AND rOSSIBLY FATAL LY INJURED, , While In tho act of crossing Stato streot, near tho Intersection of Com morclal, at 2 o'clock this aftornoon.
