Gover nor Pcneen, replying to the stateniont yesterday by Colonel Roosevelt, gave out the following tonighli ' "The statement of Colonel Roosevelt Ib characteristic. Jle denies facts which embarrass him and misstates and colors other facts In an attempt to justify hia conduct toward the Republicans of Illi nois and myself. "First, regarding the thirty-four dele gates. Theuc aro the facts. Governor Iladlcy introduced a resolution to take from the temporary roll tho Taft dele gates? and substitute the Roosevelt dele gates In certain contested states. These numbered about seventy-eight delegates all told. Sent for by Roosevelt. "Colonel Roosevelt sent for me and asked me to Introduce a resolution limit ing the number to the thirty-four dele gates from Washington, California, Ari zona and Texas. I refused to do this without Governor Tludlcy'a consent, be cause he bad presented the motion and he and others had discussed it before the convention, and my motion could not be submitted until after the debatu end ed. I felt that 7 could not afford to change the line of a battle which had been participated in by Governor Iladley and others in behalf of Colonel Roose velt and make them appear to he acting either without knowledge or without good faith to the convention. "Colonel Roosevelt, in ills statement, say the roll was called upon the Cali fornia delegates, simply because In this cane the facts were uncontested, and if there was the slightest hope of persuad- ing- the convention to act decently in any case.. It would be In this eaae.' i Ground for Difference. "I voted with tho RooscvolL delegates on the resolution to unseat the two Cali fornia delegate. I- do not think thoy were seated fraudulently. There was ground for an honest difference of opin ion upon the merits of thai, ease." Governor Dvicen hero reviews the California csc, adding. "Were the California law enacted in Illinois, the -Ity of Chicago In a hitter rontcst would name every delegate to the Republican national convention. tho Democralh- convention and tho Prohibi tion convention.

SENATOR WORKS Advises All Progressives lo Vote for Democratic Candi-. date for President Because of His Sincerity. S'CORES ROOSEVELT MEN IN HOME STATE Declares They Obtained Con trol of Republican Party by Fraud and Contempli- . ble Deception. By International News Service. WASHINGTON. D. C, Oct. 13. In an extended statement given out todaj-, Senator John D. "Works of California, a Pro gressive Republican, comes out openly for Woodrow Wilson and advise all Progressives to vote for the Democrat ic candidate for president In bis statement Senator Works bitter ly condemns the Progressive party of Cali fornia and affirms that tho third party obtained possession of that state through fraud and deception. In announcing his intention to vote for Governor Wilson, Senator Works says that he does In effect throw all personal ambition to the winds; that the Pro gressives of California, his former friends, have already denounced him as a traitor and aro urging him to resign his seat in the senate. Praises Wilson. "Wilson. Is a real and sincere Pro gressive," said Senator Works. "He has proved It by his course and conduct as a public ofllcer and as a candidate. He 1b running on a mine, progressive plat form. Nothing of benefit to progressive principles or honeBt politics can be gained by voting for cither Taft or Roosevelt. Tho best service Progressive Rcpubllcanb can render to their party .nd to their country under these unfortunate circum stances, Is to vole for Wilson. It will help to teach dishonest manipulators of polities a wholesome lesson. If you do, you will bo denoiuiced ns a Democrat by the regular Republicans, and as a traitor to the progressive cause bj' tho Progres sives, as I have been already. You may lose all chanoe of future political prefer ment You may make so many political enomies by being honest and standing by your conscientious convictions that you cannot be elected to any office. You may ho made the victim of personal abuse be cause you liavo stood for the truth and for common honesty. But all these things count for nothing as against the abiding conviction that you have done what you sincerely believe to be right. What wo need in politics just now more than any thing else 1b moral courage. Courage to stand firmly for right, honesty and Jus tice. .Nothing else will do so much as this lo purify politics, drive out of it ull selfish privilege seekers, dishonest poli ticians and corrupt bosses and protect tho rights and Interosts of the people. California Lost to Taft. "The regular Republicans, so-caIic"d, will tak-o the same course if they are wise, Taft cannot carry California. Everybody knows that. Therefore a voto for him Is worse than a vote thrown away. It Is a vote for Roosevelt and tho destruction of the Republican party in the slate. With the now parly scheme defeated tho Re publican party can be reunited as a Pro gressive party as it wa beforu some of Its members were led away from it Into a sham Progressive party, by men who assumed to be its leaders, and who care more for political success than for the honor of any party. "All good people In California should unite In the effort to rebuke the men who have resented to this scheme tof dishonest politics and to defeat every candidate who lias received his nomination by such means, be the offlco for which he ls a can didate high or low. This is a time to test the sincerity of people who profess to be licvo In hone3ty in politics.' The senator adds tliat no kind of sophis try or evaefpn can couccnl tho fact that the mothods hy which the Progressive party secured control or California was fraudulent. "It Is pitiful," said ho, "that o- great movement for reform In politics in California that has achieved so much and promised so much more niiould have been brought to this sorry pass." Law Is Lame. "The merits of the respective candi dates or their partieo," continues the statcmunt," liavo nothing to do with the fjue.stlon. It Is a question of common hon esty and Justice. It Is to be regretted that tho luw of the state did not allow thc Progressive parly a place on tho pri mary b-illot. Every voter in the state should have tho right to vote for the can didate of hi3 choice. The governor would have been entirely justified in calling a special setslon of tho legislature that the law might have been ao amended as to give that right. This not having been done, tho only way lliut Roosovult Could legally or Justly secure a place on the ballot was by potltlon, and this was Just as true of candidates for congress and the legislature who wore supporting Continued on Page Throo. j BIG WARSHIPS ASSEMBLED IN HUDSON RIVER Thirty-one Steel Monsters and Ninety-two Vessels of Small er Size Awaiting Arrival of President. SHIPS VISITED BY ' MANY THOUSANDS Ensign A. H. Butler Drowned While Returning From Shore Leave; Eleven Lives Saved by Sailors. N:W YORK. Oct IS. ISnsIgn Andes Halley Butler, 17. S. N., wus drowned in the Hudson river to day while returning with three fel low officers to his post on the bat tleship Rhode Island in the lino of the great Atlantic armada, at anchor here for presidential review. In another ac cident on the river, six sailors from tho battleship Maine rescued eleven persona from drowning. It Is estimated that 200,000 sightseers, many attracted from remote sections of the country, boarded the larger ships o't the fleet, and that more than 1,500,000 persons viewed tho licet from shore dur ing the day and 'tills evening, when thfe ships were illuminated. The accident In which Ensign Butler lost his life was one that his fellow offi cers found hard to explain. Tie and his party had spent the night In the city and were on the way back to the ship in a small private launch. Stepped Overboard. The little boat was making headway with difficulty against the strong tide, and when still fifty foot from the battleship, young Butler was seen to step out from beneath the canopy nnd go Into the wa ter. It is believed he thought jnlstakenlj that the' launch' had a sort of running board outside the canopy as naval launch es have, and that he intended to step on this to make preparations for tho landing. The strong tide carried him down and under the battleship. One of his com panions dived for h'lm. but was unable to reach him, and was rescued with diffi culty. Butler's body had not been re covered at a Inte hour tonight. Butler was appointed to Annapolis from Louisiana and graduated last year. Re ports were current during the afternoon that a seaman from the Rhode Island was drowned, but this was declared er roneous. Sailors Rescue Eleven. The rescue In which the sailors from the battleship Maine figured as heroes, occurred when a small launch In which Bernard Bauer and his family and friends were visiting the ship, was cut squarely in two by the sharp bow of the bigger steam launch Vixen and tho occupants of the small craft, including seven men and four women, wore thrown Into tho river. The little launch foundered almost opposite Immediately. Six sailors from the Maine were on the Vlxon and they were the first to plunge over the side to the rescue of the wom en. All hands wore taken aboard safely, but not without difficulty as the tide was running strong and several members of the purly had nearly succumbed before the tailors reached them. The rescued were taken aboard the Slaine first and af. tor being treated by the ship's physician, were landed and returned lo their homes. Taft Due Today. Aside from the excitement caused by the day's accidents and the presence of so many thousands of visitors, the blue jackets wore occupied with preparations for the official visit by the secretary of the navy and president tomorrow. The only event on the day's programme was the arrival of Secretary Meyer and his aides, but as his arrival was scheduled as "unofficial." no sa lu lets or other dem onstrations were made when the secretary boarded the dispatch boat Dolphin. Never before has .o large a licet of war., ships assembled in American waters, therefore never such a roar of salutes as will mark the president's arrival, tomor row The president will review the ships on Tuesday as they pass out to sea. Tho crowd of visitors to the various ships today was probably the largest ever handled on the river. Everyone of the tiilrty-one battleships and ninety-two ves sels of other classes were open to Inspec tion and all of thorn were overrun. The strongest magnets wero the Arkansas and Wyoming, the largest commissioned bat tleships In tho world. The yacht Vixen, which ran down the launch, In wild to be the Vixen which Is owned by John D. Aru'nbold, president of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey. The launch which she struck was the forty-foot Mudvle. owned by Bernurd Bauer of the Hudson River Yacht club. Mr. Bauer was not sure whether Mr. Archbold was on board the Vixen at the time, but believes that, a man who di rected the rescue of inmc of the men was Mr. Archbold. After the Vixen had taken tho rescued party to nhorc. It disappeared, and late tonight there had been no communication with those on board.

Following Jack Rose's unshaken story of the way Police Lieutenant Becker instigated the mur der of Herman Rosenthal, assigned the execution of the crime to Rose, "Brldgy" Webber and the gunmen, goaded them on until tho fatal bullets were fired, and then stood and gloated over the body, District Attorney Whitman will produce evidence tomorrow which he believes will forge an unbreakable chain about the former strong-arm squad raider.
