Colonel Roosevelt Reiterates His
Previous Statements.
He Will Not Be a Candidate in
1912.
NOR HAS HE EYEIi BEEN
lie Declares He Will Xot Support
Any Man
For the Forthcoming Republi
can Presidential Nomination
MADE NO PR03IISE.
He Never Gave Taft Any Fledge
of Support.
Nor
Did the President Ever
Have That Impression.
Philadelphia. Nov. 27. The North
American today publishes what it
terms an "authoritative statement" of
Colonel Roosevelt's position with refer
ence to the Republican national cam
paign for the presidency in 1912.
The statement reiterates Mr. Roose
velt's declarations that he would not be
a candidate in 1912; neither would he
lend his aid to any prospective candi
date. The North American says the
statement wis made no more than three
days ago by Colonel Roosevelt. It says-.'
"Colonel Roosevelt will not support
any man for the nomination in 1912,
neither Mr. Taft or anyone else. He
never gave Mr. Taft any pledge or of-
I 1.-J. sujipui L -till. 4.0.11.
V.ve such an impression.
"As to himself, Colonel Roosevelt is
not a candidate nor has he been at any
time. He has repeatedly discouraged
suggestions of this character, not only
from sincere friends, but from poten
tial political leaders who for one rea
son or another desire to use his name,
ana ne rias t-inpntiiiL-auy reiuseu
ph ones of active support, even delivery
of delegates."
IT WAS SENATOR CRANE?
Leader of RejruJars Offered to Support
Ifciosevelt.
Washington, Nov. 27. W. Murray
Crane of Massachusetts Is the United
States senator who wrote to Theodore
Roosevelt, offering the. support of him
self and of his friends in the event that
Roosevelt desires to be a candidate for
the r-esidericy next year.
Thlo statement s made on the au-
ority of a friend of Crane and Roose
velt, who has personal knowledge of
the correspondence which passed be
tween them in this matter.
The importance of the report arises
from the fact that Crane is practically
the head of the "regular" Republican
organization of the country, one of the
principal directors of the management
of the Republican national committee,
and one of the closest if not the chief
advisor of President Taft in all politi
cal matters.
"Regular," as well as "progressive"
Republican leaders, say Senator Crane,
If he wrote such a letter, must have
come to the conclusion mat President
Taft could not be re-elected if nomi
nated. Coming almost on the eve of the as
sembling of the national committee to
prepare for the campaign the re-;'
stunned the "regular" Republicans
here. They would not discuss the mat
ter for publication, but referred to the
report as "astounding." "incomprehen
sible" and "unbelievable." On every
side efforts were being made by the
"regulars" to verify the statement.
So far as could be learned Colonel
Roosevelt has not een heard from.
At Crane's Washington residence it
was said he is at home in Dalton.

Washington. Nov. 27. Speaker Champ
Clark after nine weeks of speaking and
lecturing in 19 states, returned to Wash
ington today and began conference with
other leaders over the work of con
gress which opens next Monday.
Mr. Cla.rk said the coming session
would be long, exceedingly busy and
important. "And the quicker we get
down to hard work the better for us
and the country."
Mr. Clark said tariff revision would
be the great issue cf the next congress.
He said the assault on him regarding
Canadian annexation was a misrepre
sentation for "rolitical effect, general
and personal," and said iie had never
ev,-n hinted at such "a wicked and
quixotic scheme" as forcible annexa
tion. "I never dreamed of such a thing and
would oppose it to the utmost.'' he said.
Corsets Hurt Digestion.
Baroness Rose Posse, head of the gym
nasium which bears her name, is of the
opinion that with the banishment of cor
sets woman's digestion w ill -improve and
her disposition become much happier.
"It won't be many years." says the
baroness, "before women will discard tUc-
rset for Rood. Look at the difference
the dress now and in our grand
mothers' days, when small waists and ill
health- went hand In hand! Now the
whole tendency is toward the Greek type
of beauty, and the waists have expanded
r'arvelously. Naturally, with the circu
lation better, the digestion is better, the
dispositions are better, and consequently
we have a stronger and more handsome
lot of women." Cambridge dispatch to

MONDAY EVENING.
TO FEDERAL COURT
Gas Injunction Suit Removed
From District Court.
Gas Companies Afraid of State
Courts.
JUDGE DANA IS KIXD
He Grants
Change
diction.
of Juris-
Pollock Will Decide if Gas Raise
Is Reasonable.
On the grounds that the state of Kan
sas is not a real party to the action
for an injunction against the Consum
ers' Heat & Power company, Judge
Dana this afternoon approved a bond
for the removal of the controversy to
the federal court. Judge Pollock, who
is this week holding circuit court in
Topeka, will pass on the merits of the
case in a few days.
When attorneys for the gas company
filed a motion for a removal, they
sprung a surprise on the representa
tives of the utilities commission, which
recently demanded that the gas com
pany be enjoined from raising the gas
rates in Topeka. Pending the final hear
ing Judge Dana had granted a restrain
ing order and stopped the proposed
raise in the gas rates.
In their arguments In the district
court, attorneys for the gas company
illeeed that the utilities commission
held no license to take a part in the
oresent trouble, that the best interests
of the state were not at issue and that
the state could not assume a partisan
feeling in he local gas troubles.
As soon as Judge liana approveu
the removal, the records in tne case
were transferred to the federal court,
where Judge Pollock will probably
issue a restraining oruer iu pieveui a.
raise in gas rates In Topeka Decem
ber 1. This order will remain in ef
fect until the troubles are finally set
tled. With the change of the case from
the state to the federal courts, the at
torneys for the utilities commission
will in a few days bring before Judge
Pollock motions for the remanding
of the hearing. This issue will check
the real merits of the case up to the
federal 1udge; and his decision on the
local gas rate troubles will be ren
dered bffore the close of the present
term of court in Topeka.
HE CARRIED A GUf
Witness in the Patterson Mur
der Case Testifies
That the Dead Man Habitually
Was Armed.
Denver, Colo., Nov. 27. When the
trial of Gertrude Gibson Patterson,
for the alleged murder of her hus
band, Charles A. Patterson, was re
sumed today, the defendant, com
posed, but showing traces of the ner
vous collapse which succeeded her
release from cross examination Satur
day, was in court. It had been feared
that her condition might render it
impossible to proceed with the case at
this time.
Fred Farnum. who married Mrs.
Patterson's sister, and Mrs. Leonora
Nehf. who was a neighbor of the Pat
tersons in 1910, testified that Patter
son w as in the habit of carrying a re
volver. Farnum, a cafe singer, said he had
seen Patterson with a revolver in
places where witness sang. Prose
cutor Benson sought to impeach the
character of the witness by a rapid
fire of questions as to whether Far
num's singing was not done mostly
in resorts more dubious than cafes.
"Oh, Mr. Henson. now you can't scare
me." interposed the witness. The law-
yer appealed to the court and the latter !
instructed Farnum to confine his utter-
anees to proper replies to questions.
Charles H. Pugh, principal at the
school at Sandoval, 111., from which
Prosecutor Benson asked Mrs. Patter
son if she had not been expelled, de
clared that in the 16 years he had been
at the head of the school attended by
Gertrude Gibson when she was about
13 years old. he had never expelled any
body. George W. Wicks, of Chicago,
was called to testify as to a conversa
tion he had with Patterson in 1909. but
the court sustained an objection by the
state an! Wicks was excused.
Attorney Hilton, of the defense, offer
ed m evidence Patterson's bank book
showing a deposit of the mueh-discuss-ed
$1,500 received after the wedding of
C'.rtrude Gibson to Charles A. Patter
so". cuurt ruled it out until proper proof
of its identity was received.

And quit chuin" the rag!"
Tonight delegations from Topeka,
Burlingame. Wakarusa and Manhat
tan will attend a meeting at Law

may even stop before that time, but
the air will be "nippy;" don't leave

That is about all the local weather
man had to say about the snow and
wind and bluster of today. The tem
perature lost its grip at midnight Sun
day night and has been slipping to
ward the bottom since. There is
nothing in sight that is expectod to
stop the tumble before tomorrow
morning.
When the drop began Sunday night
at midnight the temperatpre had

that velocity most of the day.
Railroad officers report weather simi

Delegate (Snb , essa
lock found that 90 per cent of the
mportant cases on the docket were
not for trial and would not be reached
until the court meets in Topeka next
April. Most important among the
cases for trial this term is the suit
for $1,500,000 damages brought by
the Fowler Packing company against
the Kaw Valley Paving company.
This case will be called some time
next month and will occupy not less
than two weeks in the examination
of witnesses and argument.
About ten days will be required for
the trial of the cases set in advance
of the Fowler suit. This should put
the damage case on the assignment
for some time next week, although
the lawyers have contended for at
least two weeks more time. Judge
Pollock refused to order the jurors to
return to Topeka for this special case
and insisted that the parties must be
ready to try the cases some time next
week.
Suit of the Illinois Life.
The case brought by the Illinois
Life Insurance company against the
board of county commissioners of
Shawnee county to set aside the issu

was waived by both sides. In their
petition the Insurance company
charged that by virtue of the method
of assessment in Kansas and Shawnee
county, that it was compelled 'to pay
twice on the valuation of its Kansas
holdings. When it refused to. meet
the Shawnee county levy a tax war
rant was issued and under an order
of sale the sheriff levied on the com
pany's property. Then the taxes were
paid and an action filed in the federal
court to recover the money.

of considerable size.
The double system of taxing oleomar
garine is corrupting grocers and gross
frauds are being perpetrated on the
butter-buying public.

when the r.i'W cardinals with th.- ex

held on Thursday in the hall of the
