DETECTIVES ON GUARD TD PROTECT CANDIDATE Friends of Theodore Bell Alarmed by Strange Actions of Oakland Man (Continued from Pace One) other brief one was received. In It Carroll wrote: Dear Sir: Your lifelong friend, as well as a friend of mine, Mr. Frank L. Moore, died yesterday at . Providence hospital, city of Oak land. Cause of death a secret poison administered by a secret or der. SAYS FRIEND POIBOXED Carroll's last letter was dated Au gust 20. In it he wrote: I am marked for slaughter by a strong secret order. Any way to get me Is their orders. Your lifelong friend, Mr. Frank L. Moore, was poisoned by this order. Then his death certificate was signed as "typhoid fever." Police refused to open his stomach and analyze it when I demanded it. I have no money, but I will bring you fame and fortune if you will hurry north at once, before they patch up some' fake charge to cause my arrest, to defame my character, to cover their dirty work and save their necks. Let me hear from you. Address in a plain, sealed envelope—not your regular business one. It is dan gerous for you to be known in this case at this time. Carroll gained notoriety during the campaign preceding the primary elec tion by suing Bell for $20,000 dam ages, basing his action on the asser tion that Bell had not acted honorably in conducting the damage suit. When Bell and Rogers met In St. Louis at the national meeting of the Eagles, Bell told Rogers of his relations with Car roll and the latt.cr's actions. Rogers recalled having received letters from Carroll and an investigation brought to light the correspondence. It will be used, Attorney Rogers intimated last night, In instituting proceedings against Carroll. EUROPE MAY ADOPT THE PAY-AS-YOU-ENTER CARS NEW YORK, Sept.

'BETTER TO CALL ME PROGRESSIVE' SAYS ROOSEVELT Colonel Cheered When at Kansas City He Defined His Pol itical Status MAKES FOUR LONG SPEECHES Declares Laws Should Be Made to Drive Corrupting Corpora tions Out of Business {Associated Pres») KANSAS CITY, Sept. I.—The people of Missouri today kept up With a vim the roar of enthusiastic welcome that is following Theodore Roosevelt every where In his wanderings through the west. Crowds that blocked the streets of Kansas City cheered him whenever he made an appearance, and the three speeches which he made here were re ceived with shouts of applause. The colonel was told that lie was an insurgent through and through In a song which was sung in his honor at luncheon today, but he said it would be better to call htm a progressive. The member? of the Commercial club, who were entertaining him, cheered his definition of his political status. .Although it was raining hard when Col. HOoseVelt, after stopping at Kan sas City, Kas., to make a speech, reached this city, thousands of people were at the station to cheer him. After a parade through the business section of the city and the luncheon the colonel went to the West port school in the southern end of the city and talked to the pupils. He wound up the day by making a speech to the throng that filled convention hall. His speech was about honesty in public and pri vate life. crowds jam SIDEWALKS The crowds that came out to see the colonel Jammed the sidewalks and at points blocked traffic. The colonel was. cheered and was kept on his feet, bow- Ins: and waving his hand. The auditorium of the high school was crowded with students when the colonel arrived, and they stood on their feet and gave him the Chautauqua sa lute, while at the same time they shout-, ed at the tops of their voices. As soon as they would let him speak the colonel said he had a confession to make; that he was a little afraid of th& audience, because half of it was com posed of girls, whom he never knew how to handle. "I have four boys of my own," said he, "and only two girls. The girls were both in charge of their mother until they grew up, and then they took charge of mo. They have treated me kindly, but firmly." Col. Roosevelt said he was going to tell them some stories of Africa. "The natives are perfectly wild sav ages," he said, "and their enemies ac cuse them of occasionally and play fully lapsing into cannibalism. That Is a delicate subject, and I never in- Quired into it. AMUSES SCHOOL CHILDREN "One day. while I was riding up the railroad to Nairobi telegraph com munication was Interrupted," he went on. "That was because a herd of giraffes had cantered across the tracks and pulled down the wires with their necks." The school children liked the colonel's stories so well that they did not want him to stop, but he was late and had to leave. Before he departed, how ever, he gave them some advice. To the girls he said: "I don't like to have a girl dance all night, so that she will be tired next day when her mother wants something from the second story." . , '■'-. His advice to the boys was given in terms of football. It was: "Don't shirk, don't foul, • and hit the line Col. Roosevelt's speech In the Audi torium was his principal address of the day. He said honesty should be made a party matter, and that the first men to attack scoundrels should be the men in the scoundrels' own party. He spoke of corruption in New York, Missouri, Illinois and California, and said the duty of the people was to war with equal sternness against the corrupt man of great wealth and the small man who makes a trade of cor ruption. "We need laws which shall put the corporations out of business, so far as concerns corrupting the servants of the public and betraying the rights of the people," he said. At another point in his speech he asserted: "The people of this country will get Justice from the corporations only if they do Justice to them and rigidly exact It from them." HONESTY NBOI9MASX TO •CCCESS "There are certain matters WhlOh should never bo treated as party mat ters; and foremost among these is the great and Vital virtue of honesty. Honesty should bo treated as a prime necessity to our success as a nation. "The minute that a question of hon esty an against dishonesty is involved, then we must all act together as Americans, without the slightest re gard to party affiliations. Honesty is not a party matter; and the first man to attack a scoundrel of any party should.be the honest men of that party. When in office, I always pro ceeded upon the theory that there would be no need of my opponents raising the cry of 'Turn the rascals out,' because I would turn them out myself just as soon aw, by vigilant and intelligent industry, I could dis cover them. "As we dealt with the crooked public official, whether in Kansas or Okla homa, so we dealt with the crooked private citizen; with the rich swindler in New York nr Chicago ns with the horse thief or homicide in Indian Ter ritory. We never attacked a man be cause h<- was a man of one political faith or another, because he did or did not' possess wealth; and wo never shielded him because ho was poor or rich, because he belonged to any par ticular church or to any particular party. Hut I also wish you < specially to remember that we never hesitated to clileld Mm and stand up for him once we were convinced that he was improperly attacked. "There is no greater foo of honesty than the man who, lor any reason, In any capacity, attacks, or seeka to at tack, an honest man for a crime which is not committod. Falsely ac cusing an honest man of dishonesty is an net which stands on the same level of infamy with that of the dis honest man himself; and it is no high er duty to attack the dishonest man than It Is to exonerate the honeHt man accused! and I should be (Continued on I'aga Three} TEN-THOUSAND-BARREL WELL BROUGHT IN BY HAWAIIAN OIL COMPANY nAKKRSriKLD.

LABOR RIOT QUELLED BY FORCE OF POLICE (Continued from Pace One) of Louis Jeffries, a riveter working for the Kaker Iron works and nephew of James J. Jeffries, was being curried to a wagon standing In the street. Jeffries was Instantly killed while at work on the Hotel Alexandria annex. As several employes carrying the body crossed the sldpwnlk a union striker on picket duty la said to have remarked that It wus a "good thing that a 'scab' was dead." Deputy Constable Charles Benjamin, who has been stationed nt the build ing for several months to maintain or der and prevent disturbances of any kind, endeavored to disperse the crowd which had gathered. As the body of Jeffries was placed in the wagon sev ornl men began fighting. For a few minutes It looked as though the riot would result fatally. A riot call was sent to headquarters and soon Captain Lehnhmisen, three police sergeants and a squad of patrol men were on the scene and restored order. Beforo the arrival of the po lice all the strikers escaped with the exception of Felder and Sweet. Jeffries, who was 20 years old, was at work on the crossbeam on the third story of the structural iron frame when he met his tragic death. He w;iw In a crouching position when the arm of the derrick, which was being hoist ed into place, fell on him, pinioning him to the beam and causing Imme diate death. The cable supporting the arm of the derrick gave way. The body was sent to the morgue of Pierce Brothers, where an inquest probably will bo held today. Jeffries lived p.t 1922 Lovelace avenue with his ageci mother. She collapsed when told of the death of her son, and it was some time before she could be revived. She is being attended by a physician.

NATION IN GOOD FINANCIAL SHAPE Treasury Statement for Second Month of Fiscal Year Is Encouraging BANKS CAN HANDLE CROPS Public Debt Shows an Increase Due to Special Causes. Receipts Large (Associated Precis) WASHINGTON, Sept. I.—With an Increase of $3,273,325 in the public debt and a total deficit of $17,371,468.08, the United States treasury closed the sec ond month of the fiscal year, keeping on an even keel, all circumstances con sidered, with a working balance of $30, --826,057.^3 on hand, and the general fund down to $89,523,207.59. The increase in public debt, which Is a complete turn over of $4,000,000 in round numbers from the month of July, is due largely to an excess of naUonal bank deposits over redemp tions. The general rule of excess of expen ditures over receipts during July and August Is also a contributor. Total receipts during August were $54,969,253.64, roughly $5,000,000 more than for the same month last year. Thlß brings the receipts of this year over the $113,000,000 mark and $5,000, --000 better than those of the preceding year. Disbursements on the whole and in the face of a natural condition which bears upon a good showing, still give evidence of the retrenchment that has become one of the first Considerations of the administration. With a drain of about $2,500,000 a month for the Pan ama canal, the ordinary disbursement for Augtist totaled $58,538,787.74, run ning a shade ahead of the same month last year, $10,000,000 under last month, and making $126,050,496.90 for the pres ent year, some $4,000,000 better than the record for the same time a year ago. BANKS IX GOOD SHAFK The Panama canal expenditures for this year are brought up to $6,987, --365.80. For the month alone the government was around $4,000,000 behind on ordi nary receipts. Customs receipts jumped up a million and about $83,000 came In from the corporation tax. In ternal revenue netted a million less than last month. The government goes into the third month of the year with a grand total of $1,746,676,814.83 cash in the treasury. The national bank notes outstanding amount to $717,321,051, an increase dur ing the month of about $5,000,000, and an increase of about $19,000,000 over a year ago. The deposits of bonds and money to aecure the increases are about even. Twelve new banks with a capital of $3,105,000 were authorized to begin business during the month, and there are now in existence 7184 national banks, with combined capital of more than $1,000,000,000. Reports of the week from national bank examiners in the middle west, where some apprehension had been felt, indicate a satisfactory condition and treasury officials believe the bankers have the situation well in hand for the crop moving. No extraordinary demands upon tno eastern financial market are likely. Loans are being made carefully, rates of interest have been raised to check the borrowing for luxuries and high living and the financial centers of the middle west and the far west appear well equipped to meet the demands of the next few weeks.

I.—An other spectrogram by Slipher of the Lowell observatory haß Just been measured by Very with his new com parator and yields more striking proof of the presence of both water vapor and of oxygen in the atmosphere of Mars than the previous plates. The spectrograms of the moon and Mars were taken at equal altitudes and co incident times, the Lunar spectrum being got at the middle of the Mars exposure. The humidity at the timo of the observation was only 51M00 of a grain of water vapor in a cubic foot of air at the earth's surface, which means a very exceptional dryness. The tneaaurei make the intensity of the little A band of water vapor in the spectrum of Mars two and one lialf times aa great as in the lunar spectrum taken under identical condi tions, and great B one and one-half times as strong in the spectrum of Mars us in that of the moon. The lunar .spectrum represents the ab sorption mf the terrestrial atmosphere above Flagstaff. „,,. The probable errors are only 1-60 of the quantity measured. The little A band is known to bo due to water vapor absorption, and that of big B to oxygen. TO DOUBLE-TRACK FROM DENVER TO SALT LAKE D. & R. G. Improvements to Cost About $10,000,000 DENVER, Sept.
