THE PRflSltJENT ENDORSES CON
PRESSMAN'S CANDIDACY
FOR MAYOR OF CLEVELAND.
Burton Says the Sole Object of HIb
Campaign Is to Free the City
from the Alleged Ring Rule of
Mayor Johnso'n.
Cleveland, Sept. IS. Congressman
Theodore E. Burton Inst night Issued
a statement commenting on the Ko-rnll
ed national phases or t Ii coming mu
nicipal election In Cleveland In which
he lst the rnpuhllcnu nominee for
mayor, and making puhllc for the first
time the letter of President Roosevelt
urging him to nccept the republican
leadership In opposition to Mayor
Johnson.
Mr. Burton's statement. Including
the letter of the president, follows:
"An erroneous Impression hus gone
forth that the mayoralty campaign
hero la to an exceptional extent com
plicated with national politics. Such Is
not the cnBe. The nll-Hiilllclcnt reason
for my candidacy Is the local situation
Unless l.nm grossly deceived, existing
conditions under the presuut clt ad
ministration demand Immediate and
radical reform. The aim of the cam
paign In which I am engaged Is to re
deem' the city of CU eland from the
administration of a ring.
"The specious claim has been made
that the main desire of the present ad
ministration Is to give the people of
Cleveland cheap street car faro. Under
cover of this slogan there has been
built-up In Cleveland a tremendous po
litical machine. Every department of
the city government haa been utillcd
to porpetunto Its. power. Knvors have
been granted and bargains made
wherever political support could be
obtained. Influences are being exert
ed through the police ami building de
partments, among contractors who
have (dealings with the city and by nn
army, of city employes with an arbi
trariness and a resort to (uestlonabIe
methods never surpassed In any Amer
ican .municipality.
"lt;ls not the object of those who
stnnd with me on the ticket to substi
tutes one political ring for another, but
to give a better administration to the
city of Cleveland one not subversive
of the fundamental Ideas of popular
control and in which nil Interests, in
cluding street lallway corporations,
shall be treated without favor or preju
dice.; "1 should have been extremely re
luctant to have turned qslde from na
tional politics without the approval of
President Roosevelt nnd Secretaries
Tnft and Garfield. For this reason I
have communicated with each of them.
Their friendly advice has conio to me
ou my solicitation, and there has been
no .attempt nt Interference. The fol
lowing Is the letter received from
President Roosevelt:
" 'Oyster Bay. X. Y., Aug. 30, 1007.
"'My Dear Mr. Burton:
" 'You put a hnrd question to mo In
your letter to Mr. I.oeb. There nro
certain qualities of lendeishlp you pos
sess which could not be supplied by
anyone else In the house, and you have
a mastery of certa'ii subjects such us
no other man In the house can hope to
attnln. For you to leave the bouse,
therefore, would mean that In tertulii
lines of leadership then' would be a
loss that cannot he made up. I would
therefore bo tempted to protest ngalnst
your leaving, if It were not for m pio
found conviction that It Is exceedingly
desirable that you should win out as
mayor of Cleveland. In view of the
fact that our democratic system un
dergoes Its most sovero strain in tho
government of our cities, I feel Hint it
Is of the utmost Importance to luivo a
man of your experience, power and
character, of your long training, theo
retical and practical, in public llfo,
take such n position as that of the
mayoralty of Cleveland. Accordingly,
5f you ask my udvlco I should say,
make the light.
"With ull good wishes, hollevo mq
uithfully yours,
'THEODORE ROOSEVELT.'

THE ELECTION' IN OKLAHOMA;

Okliv'somu City, Okln., Sept. 18. Re
turns from tho larger cities and coun
ties of Oklahoma ami Indian Territory
Indicate that the constitution of the
proposed new state has been adopted
by a large mnjorlty; that the prohibi

was voted on separately, has been
ratified and that tho democratic state
ticket, headed by C. N. Iskell for
governor, hnB been elected over the
republican ticket headed by Frnnk
I'Vnnt. the present territorial gov

The. new state chose five congress
men. In the First district tho repub
lli'iius lmve probably elected ex-Delegate
lo Congress B. S. MiGulie. The
Fourth and Fifth districts were con
ceded to the democrats.
Frank Hubbard, republican, Is piob
alilv elected from the Third district?
The SpcoikI Is in doubt.
Tiie convention that framed the
state constitution was democratic nnd
tho constitution was obnoxious to the
lepuhllcnns. Secretary Taft, speak-
.lug nt Oklahoma City, advised repub
licans to vote against the constitution.
Tho new stato must await tho con

Roosevelt, who will either approve or
reject It upon his Judgment ns to
whether It conforms to tho enabling
net of congress and the constitution of
tho United Stntes.

Clarence Fuy, assistant comptroller
for tho Standard Co., tho final witness,
was also unable to give tho govern

no one In the Standard Oil Co, seemed

CAUSES OF SUICIDE
STATISTICS COL'.ECTED
MANY SOURCES.
FROM
Numerous Cases Attributable to Child
less Marriages Rate High Among
Germanic Nations Means of
Self-Destructlon. '
Among 1,000,000 suicides of nil
classes, It has been found that 20fi
married men with children destroyed
their lives; 470 married men without
children; C2G wldowors-wlth, and 1,001
Widowers without children.
With respect to tho women) 4C mar
ried women with, nnd 1G8 -without,
children committed Bulcldo, while 101
widows with, and 238 without off
spring, completed tho list.
On tho facoot things It would np
poar that In childless marriages tho
number of men Biilcldos Is doubled
and In women trebled. Leaving tho
cuso of actual Insane persons out of
count, It would also appenr that In
ninles sulcldd Ib more frequent than
fomales.
Equally Interesting Is that phase of
tho subject which deals with tho
causes, Ono tnblo dealing with 0,782
ensos shows ono-soventh caused by
misery, ono twonty-ilrst part by loss
of fortuno, ono forty-third by gamb
ling, ono nlnotconth by lovo affairs,
ono-nlnth by domestic troublcB, onq
slxty-Bltth by fanaticism, and by foil
ed ambition und remorso ono-Bovonth
and ono twenty-seventh respectively.
Tho geography of sulcldo Is nlso of
high Interest. Westcott says tho high
est proportion in Europo Is shown by
tho Germaulo races, Saxony having
"tho largest iato of nny country." In
Norway tho rate wns vory largo lor n
time, Its doorcase being nttrlbutod to
tho greater restrictions now laid on
thu liquor tralllc.
Tho Celtic races havo a low rate,
and this Is evinced by tho figures for
Ireland and Wales. Mountainous re
gions nro said to show a Iowpr rate
than lowlands. In tho hlghlnnds ol
Scotland and Wales, and In tllo high
ureas of Switzerland, nulcldo is rnro.
Times and seasons also operate ap
parently, to lnlluenco tho act of solf
destruction. Roughly speaking, tho
curve lino of suicide, calculated
through tho year, rises from January
to July, and decreases for tho second
half or tho year. Tho maximum peri
ls havo been found to fnll In May,
luno nnd July. 1 believe, Indeed, Juno
!i found to show a marked prcdoml
innco ns a sulcldo month.
Ono reason for such preeminence In
tho wnrm sciiboii of tho year Is sot
down as represented by tho onset of
hot weather affecting tho system and
tending lo disturb mental equilibrium
of tho subjects. In 1,993 cases noted
In Paris tho prevailing hours of self-
destruction werofrom bIx a. m. to
noon nnd from two to thrco p. m.
Perhaps ono of tho most curious
phases or this Btudy Is revealed In tho
fact already alluded to namely, that
different countries to show prefer
ences for different means of commit
ting sulcldo from other lands. Tho
most common Europonn method la by
means of hanging, but In Italy this
modo of self-destruction Is rare.
Drowning comes next In-order, and
twlco as many women ns men pcrlBh
In this way each year In Europo.
Shooting Is frequent In Italy and
Switzerland. Cut throat Is common In
England nnd Ireland; It doos not scorn
to constitute anywhere olso a frequent
modo of ending life.
Poisoning Is a specially Anglo-Saxon
method of sulcldo, wo nro talds'whllo
suffocation by tho fumes of carbonic
acid gas, Inhaled In n closed room, is
very typical of sulcldo In Franco.

a claim of filcnilshlp on her.
The girl lifted hor eyebrows nnd re

which there was not thu slightest hint
of recognition.
Tho man looked a little more than
