egraphs His Ohio Manager That He Will Never Consent to
Any Compromise With Taft Forces, and That Any Ohio
Delegate Supporting Taft Must Be Classed as a Traitor.
New York, May 31. That Theodore
Roosevelt will go to Chicago personal
ly to lead the fight for his nomination
by the Republican national conven
tion Is the belief here today of well
posted politicians. The former presi
dent refused to deny that such a move
was no) unlikely. Roosevelt denied
that his present Intention was to ap
pear personally on the floor of the
convention, but when pressed he ad
mitted that he might change his plans
and make the trip.
Medill McCormick and Chauncey
Dewey, both of Illinois, and both close
to the formef president, conferred
with Colonel Roosevelt today at the
Outlook offices, and, while no positive
verification was obtainable, neither
would deny thnt the question of Roose
velt leading the progressive forces In
the nomination fight was gone Into.
McCormick emphatically denied re
ports that .he was compelled to ar
range for a pilgrimage of Illinois dele
sates to Oyster Bay for consultation
with Roosevelt to prevent them from
deserting the colonel's forces.
McCormick said:
"The delegates desired to go to Oys
ter May. They are for Roosevelt first,
last and all the time. Many of them
could not afford to make the trip, and
so, at my expense, I Invited them to
come as my guests. A dozen or more
are en route here today. All the oth
ers will arrive tomorrow, and will
meet Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster
Hay."
Voicing set determination to mnke
no compromise whatever with any op
ponent for the Republican nomination,!

Washington, May t;i. Strong oppo
sition to Intervention in Cuba and dec-
laratlon that they believe no such ac
tion by the United States will be nec
essary was voiced here today by Chair
man Hay, of the bouse military com
mittee, and Chairman William Sulzer,
of the house committee on foreign af
fairs. May said:
"Should destruction of life and prop
erty by the Insurgents become general,
President Gomez would be powerless
to cope with the situation, and there
would be a strong possibility that
Vnlted States troops might be landed
to restore order. But I don't expect
any such contingency. I believe Go
mez is fully capable of wiping out the
insurrection, and certainly I don't fa
vor Intervention, until he has had a
full chance to prove his ability to do
so."

CHARGE OF THE OIG FIBilT
Colonel Roosevelt today telegraphed
Walter Brown, his Ohio manager, in
structing him to entertain no proposi
tion from the Taft camp. His tele
gram read:
"I have just seen a telegram which
President Taft sent to Arthur I. Vorys
declaring he would not tolerate any
compromise In Ohio. Until I saw this
telegram, I had never seen any sug
gestion that there was to be any com
promise, and I assumes suggestion
came from the Taft forces. In the first
place, I would not consent to any com
promise, and In the next place we car
ried Ohio by more than 30,000 In the
popular primaries. Any attempt to
give Taft a single delegate would
mean to sanction a deliberate effort to
defraud the people by trickery and to
nullify their expressed will.' Taft has,
Jn morals and equity, no claim whatev
er to a single Ohio delegate. I wish
this Issue clearly made;, we stand for
the right of the people to choose their
own candidate, and to have the dele
gates carry out their choice. Any in
dividual who attempts to secure a
single delegate at large from Ohio for
Taft is openly taking the position thnt
the convention Is not to represent the
will of the people, and that politicians
are to be encouraged to defy populnr
will and commit an outrage on justice.
"Any district delegate at the Ohio
convention from any district that went
for me at the primary, who himself
votes for a single Taft delegate at
large, commits an act of treachery to
the people. Any man condoning or
approving such an act, condones and
approves treachery."

HIGH SCHOOL
CLASS DAY
RIVALRIES
rKESIIMEX OUTDO JUNIOKS AND
SOPHOMORES CAP THE CLIMAX
BY TAKING DOWN THE FLAG
STAFF ITSELF STARS AND
STRIFES NO LONGER WAVE AT
THE HIGH SCHOOL.
Last night as the town went to bed,
and the average Salem con was work
ing on other, beats, a daring bunch of
juniors perpetrated the scandalous
act of painting their numerals on the
walks leading to the high school.
But their paltry deed did not live to
see the gray dawn, for as the town
I clock struck one, a band of valiant
iresnmen poured onto the high school
grounds and proceeded to trim up the
flag pole with purple and white. They
were treacherous to their friends, the
Juniors, for they wasted many good
daubs of paint In covering the Jun
iors' '"13," and substituting the num
erals, '"14".
Then they devoted the balance of
darkness to the flag pole. First they
unfurled a large bed sheet bearing the
numerals " '15."
The freshmen were determined to
distinguish themselves by tearing down
the green flag of the 'softmores", and
hand-painting out of eirlstence the
green rings on the flug staff put their
by their enemies. Will Sherwood, son
of Prof. Sherwood, of Wlllumette Unl-
verslt, was chosen to climb the flag
staff, about 50 feet high, and he did
not shrink. About 1 a. m. he went up
the pole, ruined a suit of clothes by
smearing himself from head to foot
with axle grease, and began painting
out the green rings of the sophs with
purple paint. He nailed their flag to
the must, and fastened up the halyards
so they could not be reached, and as
he came down painted the pole with
another coat of axle grease, so no one
could climb up. He was no more than
through when along came two Bopph
lenders with a ladder, but they saw
the Jig was up, and no way to get up
that po)e without climbers. The fresh-
les remained on guard, and soon six
scph scouts were away, gathering
their crowd, which swooped down on
the freRhles In two bands, captured
them, and either roped them to tele
phone poles or made them prisoners.
The sophmore captain held a council
of war, and it was decided that, as they
could not reach the obnoxious flag,
they would take down the high school
flagstaff Itself. With a monkav-
wrench they unscrewed the bolts and
the tall pole fell to the left,, and its top
wns hroken off about two feet from the
tip. The sophs then proceeded to paint
the pole white, obliterating the nu
merals of the freshles and the Juniors.
A student, who is not a freshman, put
the numerals "'12'' on the brick of
the fpst face of the high school. TIiIb
was first charged to young Sherwood,
but the students say he did not do It.
although he did climb the pole and
nailed up the halyards and greased it.
He was called In by Principal Kirk and
given his option of telling the names
of some of the principal offenders or
being canned himself but preferrd to
take the latter.

told by Franklin on the witness
