U.S.ATTY. GEN. DECIDES
MAINE FUND AVAILABLE
Asserts Congressional Appropria
tion to Raise Battleship Pro
vides Preliminary Survey
WASHINGTON, July 27.—Attorney
General Wickersham has decided that
the $300,000 appropriation made by the
last congress to raise the battleship
Maine was available for any work that
may be necessary in that connection.
There was a question as to whether
any of the money could be used for
preliminary work as a survey. Mr.
Wi' kefsham decided it was the intent
of ' ongress that 'he money Vie used for
all purposes connected with raising the
ship, even to the burial of the dead in
Arlington National cemetery.
This decision removes the snag which
threatened to stall the work on the
next session of congress. Brig. Gen.
Bixby, i lii' f of engineers, will recom
mend a survey board ef engineers to
(ien. Oliver, acting secretary of war,
some time this week.
This board will make a preliminary
survey of the work and deride on the
best means to raise it. The various
proposals from private persons and
civilian engineers will then be consid
ered.

T.R. TO KEEP OUT
OF COMING FIGHT
Colonel Feels He Might Be Ac
cused of Assuminng the
Party Dictatorship
STANDS BY KNOWN POLICIES
Former President Is Noncommit
tal as to Supporting Pro
gressive Republicans
(Associated Press)
OYSTER BAY, N. V.. July 27.—Those
who hoard The'bdore Roosevelt talk at
Sagamore Hill this afternoon came
away with a sharply etched shadow
picture of what his attitude will be in
and national politics. Primarily,
ho wishos to keep in the background
in the approaching campaign, for he
feala that by taking too prominent a
part in it lie may be accused of as
■umlng a dictatorship.
Bfoadly speaking, he will, as ho lias
said on several occasions, do all in his
powftr to holp the men who stood by
him and his policies, but was noncom
mittal ai tn whether he exports to
carry this to the point of cominß out
openly in favor of the Republicans all
over tin 1 country whom he considers
to top standing for hi* ideas. He does
say. however, that h. -iust forget fac
tional differences and even party lines
and support the men and the things
he believes stand for the beat Interests
of the country as a whole. The Re
publican situation in this state is shift
ing so rapidly, the colonel said, he was
having trouble keeping pace with it. In
today's interview there were mentioned
to 'him the names of Representative
Hamilton Fish and William H. Hotch
kiss. slato superintendent Of insurance,
as having been spoken of recently in
connection with the gubernatorial
nomination. He replied by naming
over the whole list of men who have
been mentioned, adding that he had no
idea Whatever as to who the best man
would ba.
Col. Roosevelt Bald he had not been
reading: up on Nebraska politics lately
and had not heard how William J. Bry
an had fared in the Democratic conven
tion In that state.
The interviewers broke the news of
the setback to the Nebraskan, and .the
colonel asked whether the difference of
opinion had arisen because Mr. Bryan
went too far or not far enough In his
proposed temperance legislation. Af
ter he was told that the former seemed
to fit the-case, there was nothing which
he cared to add in comment on Mr.
Bryan. A letter caused great arnuae
me'nt to Mr. Roosevelt today. When
Mr. Roosevelt was in New York last
Friday he told interviewers after a
conference with several politicians h"
had had an interesting discussion on
literature. The newspapers printed his
little joke, which brought forth the let
ter received today. The writer accused
the former president of trying to make
people believe he had been discussing
literature Instead of politics, and wound
up by sayina;:
"Maybe you can fool the feeble-mind
ed reporters, but you can't fool the
public like that. I knew all the time."
ITALIANS TRY TO
DYNAMITE POLICE
Patrolman Finds Lighted Bomb
on Porch of New York
District Station
[Associated Press]
'NEW YORK, July 27.—The New-
York police are searching diligently
today for a band of Italians who are
credited with having made an attempt
last night to blow up the Mercer street
police station. Four heavy cartridges
or bombs contained enough powder to
blow up the station and kill the sixty
men who were within at the time. The
cartridges were discovered before they
could do any damage, one on the itep
in front of the door and the others
in an adjacent hallway. Three men
are under arrest under supkion but
they deny knowledge of the affair.
The attempt at wholesale revenge on
the police for recent activities against
black handers, was frustrated by the
prompt .action of Patrolman John
Baumbach. He was entering the sta
tion from his post when he discovered
a metallic contrivance lying on the
front step, with a twelve-inch fuse
sticking out of the top of it. He
pulled the fuse out of the bomb and
threw it into a bucket of water. The
reserves who were called out arrested
three men loitering nearby. A search
of the hallway where they had been
ealed revealed three more of the
bomb like contrivances but the fuses
had not been lighted. An examination
of the bombs shows that they had con
tained two tablospoonfuls of powder
each. According to experts of the bu
reau of combustibles they were crudely
made. _ _

IOWA DEMOCRATS
ADOPT PLATFORM
Pledge High License in Event of
Success in Forthcoming
Gubernatorial Election
(Associated Press)
OTTI'MWA. lowa, July 27.—Such
townships and municipalities of lowa
ns are willing to pay a high license
for the sake of trafficking in liquor
may do so in the event of Democratic
success at the forthcoming guberna
torial election. At least the platform
Adopted at the convention of that
party here today says so, but the
pledge was not made without a fight,
both in committee and o.n the floor.
Former Congressman Martin Wade,
chairman of the resolutions committee,
defended the plank against a vigorous
assault on the part of Gen. J. B.
Weaver.
"I am tired of belonging to a party
which is known as the liquor party,"
declared Mr. Wade. "Where a major
ity of a community desire liquor they
should have it, and vice versa. That
is personal liberty, gentlemen, and it
la Democracy."
Gen. Weaver grew vehement in reply.
"I don't know what will do more to
make the Democratic party the liquor
party than the plank," he declared.
The platform as reported was then
adopted with a shout and General
Weaver demanded a roll call on the
liquor plans, so that, as he said, the
people of the state would know ex
a< tly where the party stands. He
made a motion to strike out the vital
parts of the plank, but was over
whelmingly defeated.
P. B. Wolfo of Clinton received the
long term and H. O. Van Wagenon
the short tprm nomination for the su
preme court bench.
MAKES KEYNOTE SPEECH
Jerry B. Sullivan of Dcs Moines, the
temporary chairman. delivered the
keynote speech, C. J. Sternger of To
ledo presided over the permanent or
ganization.
A ringing speech was delivered by
flaufle H. Porter, the Democratic can
didate for governor.
Frank Holme, recorder of Scott coun- I
ty, was overcome by the heat as he
sat among his delegation but was re
vived. Many delegates were forced to
leave the hall.
The platform denounces recent tariff
revision as a "masterpiece of Injus
tice," declares trusts and monopolies
to be Intolerable! opposes the Central
bank idea, condemns the postal sav
ings bank law in allowing the with
draw] of savings from the communities
in which they are deposited and ac
cuses the Republican national admin
istration of making reckless expendi
tures.
It endorses the regulation of rail
ways, telephone, telegraph and express
companies, an income tax, the conserv
ation of national resources, the initia
tive, referendum and recall, and im
provement Of roads. It urges a modi
fication of the state primary law to re
duce expenses and declares for the
Oregon plan of electing senators until
such time as it shall be possible to
do so by direct vote of the people.
MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS
TO NOMINATE JOHN LIND
State to Probably Force Choice
of Former Governor
ST. PAUL., July 27.—With the open
ing of the Democratic state conven
tion lit Minneapolis tomorrow, only a
few hours away, the selection of a
gubernatorial candidate seems as un
settled as ever. Indications are that
the state at large will force the nom
ination of former Governor John hind
in spite of his own protests and the
efforts of those party leaders who fear
Ills alleged county option tendencies.
Among tli ise mentioned as second
choices of the convention are Con
gressman W. S. Hammond of St.
Junes, Mayor James C. Haynes of
Minneapolis, Judge C. W. Slanton of
Bemidji and John J. Knswold of Du
luth. Fred Johnson of New Tllm, a
brother of the late Governor John A.
Johnson, is a possibility, it is said.
He lias already been mentioned as the
nominee !■ secretary of state.
TELLS STORY OF GRAFT
ON ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Witness Says R. R. Did Work for
Which It Paid Huge Sum
CHICAGO, July 27.—Harold A. Sims
told a striking story of wholesale graft
before Master In Chancery Roswell B.
Mason here today in connection with
the Investigation being made into the
alleged $1,500,000 car repair frauds in
the Illinois Central railroad.
Sims, former car inspector for the
railroad, and later in the employ of
one of the five car repair companies
charged with fraud, declared that the
Illinois Central was made to furnish
not only materials, but also labor for
repairs and then was charged from one |
to three prices for the work through
an elaborate system of padded bills.
Sims said that the greater part of the
wood work supposed to have been done
in the independent shops and for which
the railroad company paid a round
figure, was really done at the Illinois
shops at Memphis. Ho said the com
pany was practically paying handsome
ly for doing work for Itself. The wit
ness also testified that Illinois Central
cars were dismantled to procure ma
terial to lie used in the plant of the
Memphis Car company.
Gl P. PLATFORM
IS COMPROMISE
Taft, Tariff and Conservation Are
Indorsed by Ohio
Republicans
DOCUMENT SOUNDS KEYNOTE
Regulars Call Planks Fine, and
Insurgents Say 99
Per Cent Good
(Continued from Tmga Onfl
with the administration, congress and
the tariff are in part as follow*:
"We, the Republicans of Ohio, in
state convention assembled, commend
in highest terms the splendid adminis
tration of "William H. Tuft, are proud
of the results he has already achieved
in hia seventeen months in office, and
pledge him our hearty and united sup
port in further efforts as chief execu
tive of the nation. We renew our
pledge of loyal support given him in
190S, and indorse him for renomination
in 1312.
"The tariff hag been revised in ac
cordance with the Republican doctrine
of protecting home industries and
American labor. It did not raise the
rate of duty on a single common food
product. The increases made were on
luxuries and articles not of ordinary
use. It affords no more than adequate
protection to the industries of the na
tion, and is fair alike to consumers,
laborers and producers. Nq tariff bill
was more unjustly assailed. It has
justified the expectations of its friends
by turning a national deficit fnto a
surplus, while at the same time reduc
ing the average rtae of all duties. Its
maximum and minimum rates have
operated to give us for the first time
equality of opportunity with other na
tions in our foreign trade.
FAVOR ANTI-TRUST LAW
"The Republican party, through con
gress and the president, has given free
trade with the Philippines, with such
limitations as to sugar and tobacco as
will afford protection to domestic in
dustries, and has established a customs
court."
Prtiie is given the railroad law, and
a list of congressional enactments is
given. The platform continues:
"We favor legislation which shall
revive our merchant marine; the equal
enforcement of all laws; an adequate
national defense, with a navy ample
to protect all our interests at homo and
abroad, while favoring arbitration in
the settlement of international dis
putes, systematic, comprehensive and
businesslike improvement of our rivers,
harbor* and waterways, and such
amendments of the anti-trust law as
final- judicial Interpretation proves to
be necessary for the proper regulation
of monopolies.
"We indorse the principle of con
servation of our national resources
and cordially indorse the action of the
present congress in enacting, and of
President Tat't in approving, legisla
tion along this line. We refer partic
ularly, first, to the act of congress
conferring upon the president express
power to withdraw public lands as
public welfare demands; anil, second,
to the act separating the surface from
the coal, and authorizing agricultural
homestead entries on lands heretofore
withdrawn from entry or settlement
under coal lands classification. Under
this act millions of acres of the public
domain can be entered by homestead
ers and limited patent to surface
granted, reserving the title to the coal
in the federal government for future
disposition in accordance with law.
STRONG FOB CONSERVATION
"We demand that enforcement of
existing laws and the enactment of
new laws for the protection, wise use
and conservation of the natural re
sources under the control of federal
government. These resources, such as
the coal deposits of Alaska, water
power and reservoir sites, should be
developed under a system by which
any abuses of monopoly can be avoid
ed, extortion from the consumer pre
vented and just compensation to the
public obtained."
Other planks are for: Limiting the
tax rate for all purposes to ten mills;
supervision and regulation of all pub
lic utilities by a commission; giving
to municipalities the right of home
rule and to the people the right to vote
direct on the granting of public fran
chises; legislation for establishing good
roads; protection of labor; a state law
requiring the publicity of campaign
contributions; the ratification of the
income tax amendment to the federal
constitution; individual punishment
for corporate offenses and the calling
of a constitutional convention to draft
a new state constitution.
