The Home of -.art Schaf f ncr & Marx Clothes Arab Woman and Dookej Boy Around The World By the "OFfICE BOY" If love is blind, he must be able to pick out the pretty girls by in stmct, especially in Egypt, for the Egyptian women wear a veil. A Khedive with whom I became well acquaintud, in speaking of the con dition of women in Mussulman countries, said, "It Is generally be lieved in Europe and America that it is our religion whioh enjoin* women to veil themselves and to live in retirement; but that is an error, and religion has nothing whatever to do with It. It Is an ancient oiietom, and dating from the time, far distant, when each man in the East had to defend his property, and especially his wives and his daughters. The more beautiful and attractive these were, the more was it necessary that their beauty should be hidden. Our law does not oblige a woman to veil herself, but it does say, 'If thy beauty oause strife amongst men, inspiring them with love or jealousy in others, then were it better for thee that it should be hid.'" If that law was taken liter ally, beautiful women alone would veil themselves. But I guess there never was a woman who believed herself to be really ugly. The re sult is that the yellow and wrinkled faces of the veriest old hags are still shrouded in veils. If it is true that "his apparel oft proclaims tho man/ then how loud must a man's hat tell of his taste in clothes? The improper hat will mar the very best of dress intentions.

DEMOCRATS Mayor Flatly Refuses to Be Can didate for Governor and Mixes Situation F Associated Pres«J ROCHESTER, N. T., Sept. 27.—1f a 12-inch armor-piercing shell had come crashing down through the roof of the Hotel Seneca, there could not have been more consternation among the Demo crats on the floor of the lobby tonight than when the first news of Mayor Gaynor's letter to James Creelman burst among them. The mayor's final word declining to be a candidate In terms so unmistak able that they were no longer to be misinterpreted changed the whole face of the political map. Previously the tone of the town had been hesitant and cautious. Uncom mitted delegates and leaders had been wary of putting themselves down in black and white. "I have no candidates and no opin ions," said Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. "Gaynor is strong, but the convention will hesitate to com mit Itself to a candidate who refuses to commit himself," was the substance of an interview with State Chairman John A. Dlx. The elimination of Gaynor leaves these candidates in the field: Representative William Sulzer, Thos. J. Obiorne, Justice Gerard of the state supreme court, James S. Haven, Kd ward Shepard, John A. Bensel and Martin H. Glynn of Albany. MAYOR GAYNOR FLATLY REFUSES N. Y. NOMINATION Declines to Become Democratic Nominee for Governor NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—James C. Orerlman of New York made public tonight a letter from Mayor Gaynor, dated yoßterday. Mr. Creelman decid ed on this step because lie became con vinced today that lothing but thl.s ac tion would prevent Mr. Gaynor's nom ination by tho Democratic state con vention. The letter follows: "I am this Jay writing a letter to Chairman Dlx stating that I am not a candidate for the nomination for gov ernor, and refund to become such. I do th)F to remove all doubt on the sub j. ct which may have arisen by reason o{ irresponsible) statements which, I am Informed, are being circulated. No ut terance of mine has put the matter In doubt. "Some have said to me that the con vention may nominate mo although I am not a candidate. It seems to mo that it might appear vain or egotistical for me to assume in my letter to Mr. Dlx that thai extraordinary thing might happen, 1 therefore write this supple mental letter tv take to Rochester and show there su as to prevent my nom ination lr it should appear to be Im minent. Make it plain that If nom inated I wouid decline to accept." MAN CRUSHED TO DEATH BY CAR IN MINE SHAFT GLOBE, Ariz., Sept. 27.—Caught between an ore car an;l the sid<> of a cut In the.

ARREBT CATHOLIC LEADER BILBAO, Sept, 27.— Tho president of the catholic committed of this city has icuted tor hi* violent manl- In oonnectlon with the proposed demonstration next Sunday. LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1910/ VICE PRESIDENT DEFEATED BY T.I. Colonel Wins Chairmanship of N. Y. State Convention by 125 Votes PROGRESSIVES IN CONTROL Old Guard* Refusing to Surrender, Meets with a Waterloo at Saratoga (Continued from Pace One) properly presented. What was the object of this action? The correspondence between Colonel Roosevelt and myself Just after the meet- Ing of the state committee shows more clearly than can otherwise be presented that his opposition to the selection of Vlc« President Sherman was not based on any personal grounds, but because he desired an opportunity to present views aa to the policies which should hereafter guide the destinies of the Republican party. Kl' ins IJOTTEB TO T. R. Perhaps I hart better read my letter to him and his Utter to ra»: "August 17, 1910.—C01. Then. Roosevelt, Oyster Bay. L. I— My Dear Col. Roosevelt: It cannot be possible that It Is necessary for me to tell you that the action of th» state committee yesterday, In which I par ticlpated, was in no sense Intended as an act of hostility toward you or one of re flection upon you. I saw Ward and Barnes aftor their talk with you and they told me what you said about this whole matter, and I hope you know, despite some things to the contrary which the newspapers contalnt-d this morn ing, that they you the exact facts. Not one of us supposed that your name would be presented without your notifying Ward, tho natlnrml commlttpeman, or me, as chairman of the state committee, that you wished It done, and I never was so much surprised In my life as when Orls oom made the motion which he did. Not a word had been said to me before the meet- Ing by anybody that indicated this course was to be taken, and I understand that neither Orlscom nor any one else told Ward or Barnes, or any of the other mem ber* of the committee, that this was their purpose. "Believing that you must appreciate the position In which, under the circumstances, we suddenly found ourselves, aftor having agreed upon the selection of Sherman, In conformity with the precedent established by the selection of Senator Root two years ago as temporary chairman, I beg to re main, with best wishes, yours affection ately, "TIMOTHY WOODRUFF, Chairman." The reply I received to this wiu as fol lows: ROOSEVELT'S RETI.T "NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 1910.-My Dear Mr. Woodruff: You seem to me to be un der a misapprehension in the matter. I was not notifylnr anybody about the mat ter, and neither Orlscom. nor I had any Idea that the question was to come up at this time. Some of the gentlemen with whom you were acting on Monday evening announced that It was going to come up, and made the announcement on the specific ground that It was to head off the move ment for mo because they did not believe In the principles for which I stand. I have never wanted the position, but merely said that I would accept It If It were de sired that I should do so. If the vice president Is correctly reported as to his position, and if you agree with that posi tion, you arc only right In having him and not me make the speech. Faithfully yours, "THEODORE! ROOSEVELT." Colonel Roosevelt manifestly meant that he desired to propound the doctrine of the new nationalism, admitting with his char acteristic frankness that .we were right in selecting the vies president If we preferred the traditional Republicanism of the ad- ministration of William Howard Taft, founded upon the great national adminis trations of Lincoln, Grant, McKlnley and Roosevelt himself, for which James S. Sherman has always stood and stands to day. In accordance with the Instructions of the Btate committee I present, as temporary chairman of this convention, James S. Sherman. Chairman Woodruff added to his i oech he letter written by Mr. Sherman to the state committee ask ing that the committee investigate the charges that his selection had been made by misrepresentation and detailed the committee's action last nigh. The committee, Mr. Woodruff said, decided that Vice President Sherman's election was made without deceit and misrepresentation. KOOSEVELT NOMINATED There were cheers for the vice pres ident and for Joseph Hicks of Nas sau county, who in a short speech nominated Colonel Roosevelt for tem porary chairman. The convention broke into wild cheer ing- and continuous applause, dele gates waving their hats and clapping their hands while the band played a fanfare. Abraham Gruber of New York, who had been selected to fire the broad side of the "old guard" against Col onel Roosevelt's selection, was recog nized and made his way to the plat form. Colonel Gruber said in part: Twelve years aero on this platform I warned a Republican convention against turning the executive mansion Into a shoot ing gallery. My advice was not heeded. Since that memorable day the man who has ever since been shooting has seen his party organization divided In every state, his parly's candidate* overwhelmingly defeated, business depressed and the Intelligent and honest worklngman without employment and hungry. Looking for other fields for shooting practice, this man Is now shoot ing at the courts and the Judges. Himself posing as a lawyer (who never had a case or drew a brief), he now finds sport In holding up the courts and Judges to the scorn of the mob. Hut this Is not a new symptom. It Is an old disease. This apos tle of derringer practice, while ho was president, abused Judge Humphrey, a gen tleman and honest man, for rendering a decision which to this day Is unreversed. When the United States appellate court re versed Judge Landls, the same shooter, not from the head of a barrel, but from the White House, sanctified by Abe Lincoln, told the people of the United States that the Judges had been guilty of miscarrying Justice. Worklngmen of the United States, do ,you recall that when Haywood and Mover were on trial for their lives this same shooter, with all the power of the president of the United States, sought to influence the Jury by holding up these ha.l ers of labor as undesirable citizens? GKUDEII DENOUNCES T. li. A French king once said: "I am the state." No sane man may ever nay, "I am the United States." The lungs of the country are not Its brains. Men who a few months ago bellevod, now rllabo lleve; men who worshiped then, now ex ecrato, and throughout the country the business men as such «re fading panic and as lovers of their rights and liberties are fearing revolution. From Caesar to Napoleon, from Napoleon to the Amer loan Jack Cade. When given power to snoot the trusts. SARATOOA, Sept. «tat» Chair man Timothy 1,. Woodruff of Brooklyn, an old guard leader. was one »t the first to feel the effect of the progres sive victory In the state convention , to day. t Delegates from Kings county, In the third congressional district, tonight re tired Mr. Woodruff »s state commlt mum and elected Alfred TV, Vase to succeed him. __^__^__^_^___ —— '• « he drew a line between the Rood one* and the bad ones. The steel and RUjar trusts were the good ones, thoae which would not ljelp along the Bhooter's polit ical schemes were the tiad ono?. As now those who cry 'Vive le Roi" are «oqa Republicans and those who are putting pa triotism above all else and therefore will not Join In the cry, are bad Repub licans. While under the table I tounh <"<Ws fe.n, I cannot with Lorimer sit down and cat. Fellow citizens of New York, has the correspondence with Harrlman passed from your minds? -While the firm was Koosevelt & Harrlman nn'l not Roosevelt & Lincoln, tho shooter anrt the rallroaa man were engaged in a Joint plan to get money, and, in writing, the senior mem ber of the firm assured Harrlman that they were both practical'men and had better keep tho partnership under cover. Every generation (rives opportunity to the patriotic and bravo to keep our ship of state headed in the right direction, and ■11 of us—business men, farmers, labor- Ing men, professional men, and, yes, even the women of this country-may now, Jf they will, Join in the meat light begun In this convention to prevent a third term or something worse. No one enjoyed Gruber's speech more than Col. Koosevelt, who chuck led repeatedly. Delegates hissed Gru ber's statement that it would be found that two-thirds of Roosevelt's strength In the convention came from federal office holders. At one point the jeers and catcalls became so great that Col. Roosevelt leaped to his feet, and waving his hands at the delegates cried: "I ask a full hearing for Col. Gru ber." The speaker continued, but hisses almost drowned his attacks on Col. Koosevelt. Comptroller William A. Prendergast of New York city was the champion of the progressives and made a reply to the old guard onslaught. The convention had well prepared for the outcome of the contest for tem porary chairman, William Barnes, Jr., leader of the old guard forces, having early in the day conceded the election of Col. Roosevelt. MR. ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH Mr. Roosevelt In hU ipeech as tem porary chairman said: In the last eighteen months a long list of laws, embodying legislation most heartily to be commended as com bining wisdom with progress has been enacted by congress and approved by President Tart. The amendments to tho interstate commerce law; begin ning of a national legislative program for the exercise of the taxing power In connection with big corporations do- Ing an Interstate, business; the appoint ment of a commission to frame meas ures that do away with the evils of overcapitalisation and improper and excessive issues of stocks and bonds; the law providing for publicity of cam paign expenses; the establishment of the maximum and minimum tariff pro visions and the exceedingly able ne gotiation of the Canadian and other treaties in accordance therewith; the inauguration of the policy of providing for a disinterested revision of tariff schedules through a high class com mission of experts who will treat each schedule purely on Its own merits, with a view both to protecting the consumer from excessive prices and to securing to the American producer and espe cially the American wageworker what will represent the difference of cost of production In countries where labor la lees' liberally rewarded; the extension of laws regulating safety appliances for the protection of labor; the creation of a bureau of mines—these and similar laws backed up by executive action — reflsct high credit upon all who suc ceeded in putting them In their present shape on the statute books. PARTX OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN I believe In the party to whloh we belong, because 1 believe In the prin ciples for which the Republican party Btood In the days of Abraham Lincoln; and, furthermore ana especially, be cause I believe In treating these prin ciples not as dead, but as living. Empty glorification of our past amounts to less than nothing If we nut It forward as an excuse for not dolne our duty In the living present. We can deserve the confidence of the people by prov ing In deed as well aa in word 4hat we faoe the problem of dealing with political and buslnesg corruption and of working for social and economlo Jus tice and for the betterment of the con ditions of life and the uplifting of our people with the same fervor and sin cerity that Lincoln antl his followers brought to the great taßks alloted to them In their day. We should at once Introduce in this state the system of direct nominations In the primary so that the people shall be able themselves to decide who the candidates shall be. Instead of being limited merely to choosing between can didates with whose nomination they have had nothing to do. Our country offers the most wonder ful example of democratic government on a giant scale that the world has ever seen, and the peoples of the world are watching to see whether we suc ceed or fail. We believe with all our hearts In democracy; in the capacity <if the people to govern themselves, and we are bound to succeed, for nur suc cess means not only our own triumph, but the triumph of tho cause of the rights of the people throughout the world and the uplifting of the banner of hope for all the nations of man kind. The victory of Col. Roosevelt did not appear to dishearten tho old guard, fur they continued to tight on the conven tion floor when the progressives sub mitted resolutions whereby the eom mittes should be made by representa tives from each congressional district, the members to be named by the tem porary chairman. CANDIDATES ARE HI SY Seeing that this gave absolute power to Col. Roosevelt, Speaker Wadsworth of the assembly .strongly oppo.-ed the resolution. He took the position that each congressional district should name Its own member, as in previous Repub lican conventions for many years. The progressives, however, were in the as cendancy and the resolutions as drafted by friends of Mr. Roosevelt were car ri.-d. The makeup of the committee on resolutions which was to thresh over the important direct primary plank caused Colonel Roosevelt to hold up the convention until he could go ovi r the names before him. He called Rep resentative Herbert Parsons of New York to the speaker's stand and after striking out three names of the reso lutions committee— W. J. Barnes. Jr., Speaker Wadsworth and Wllilam Cobb, author of the recently defeated pri mary bill—former Mayor Seth Low, Representative Sereno E. Payne and Representative J. Sloat Fassett m n substituted. Talk of gubernatorial candidates was submerged during the day, but tonight friends of Representative Ben nett of New York, Frederick C. Ste vens, superintendent of public works; Hi nry L. Stlhson, former United Bt&tei district attorney In New York wciv out scouting to secure votes for their candidates. 111.- work of drafting the platform for presentation to the Republican itate convention tomorrow was begun by the committee on resolutions in utlvo session tonight. At the suggestion of Chairman Pren dergWt, Otto Bannard of New York WHITE ON STAND IN LORIMER CASE Senatorial Investigating Commit tee Cross Examines State Representative HEARSAY EVIDENCE BARRED Analyze Testimony Given by Wit ness During Browne Brib ery Trial (Associated Press* CHICAGO, Sept. 27.—Direct anS cross examination of State. Represen tative White, principal witness In sup port of charges that the election of Senator William Lorimer was procured corrupt methods, was completed today before the senatorial investigat ing committee. In the session Senator Burrows of Michigan, chairman of the committee, barred hearsay evidence from the pro ceedings. It was specifically on the right of Representative White to re late conversations which lie declared he had with Representative J. S. Clark Of Vamlalia, in which White said Clark admitted he, too, was bribed to vote for Lorimer. The latter part of tho cross exam ination was devoted to an analysis of testimony of White In the two trials of Democratic Leader Browne on the charge of bribery, In an effort to es tablish ground for impeaching the present testimony of White by wit nesses who testified In the other trials. This examination was objected to re peatedly by Attorney Austrian. The witness repeatedly declared that he could not remember Just what ques tions were asked him or what answers he made. White said that between the close of the legislature and July 15, 1909, he re ceived Jl9oo—slooo from Hrowno and $900 from Representative Wilson. Attorney Hanecy then introduced a Utter written by White to Browne September 8, 1909, asking for a loan of $50, and saying he (White) had only 90 cents. The letter and the note for $50 signed by White and made out to Browne were Introduced. White said he paid the note after Browne's first trial. Attorney Hanecy questioned White closely ■ concerning his acquaintance with Mlsb Catherine Woods of East St. Louis, a witness in the second trial of Browne. White admitted he had taken the young woman to a theater and to dinner, but denied he had ever told her he was writing a history of his ex periences in the legislature which would make the "Lorimer bunch" pay him enough to keep him comfortable for life, or he would make it hot for them. GILLETT GIVES CALL FOR EXTRAORDINARY SESSION SACRAMENTO, Sept. 27.—Governor Gillett tonight, through Private Sec retary Mitchell, issued the proclama tion calling the state legislature in extraordinary session to make a need ed change In constitutional amend ment No. 1, which Is to be voted on In November. The legislature will meet at 12 o'clock noon Monday, October 3. The procla mation was drafted In San Francisco today, and was signed and Issued on the Eldorado train of the Southern Pa cific line tonight. The leading point to be taken up in the session is nhown by the following 1 preamble, which is incorporated in the kill: •'Whereas, It appears that the said amendment leaves uncertain the pc , riod for which the gross receipts and fcross premiums mentioned in said res olution are to be computed upon which the taxes therein provided for are to be levied, and in case said amendment should be adopted in its present form by the people, such amendment would Jeopardize the revenues to be raised by the state under such amendment." road the platform which was under stood to have the approval of Colonel Roosevelt and the progressives. This draft contained among other things an unequivocal Endorsement of the administration of President Taft and Governor Hughes, and of various laws enacted by the legislature. It contained an approving reference to the fact-that the Republican senate has driven from its ranks a recreant senator and committed the party to a continuance of the prosecution of wrongdoers in whatever-place of trust they might be found. It was agreed that because of the lengthy discussion which would prob ably be occasioned by the subject the consideration of the primary feature be deferred until late In the morning. Without taking a vote on the Ban nard platform the committee listened to the reading by William Barnes, jr., of the platform advocated by the old guard. Thin platform, which Mr. Barnes moved as a substitute, for the progressive draft, contained an "un equivocal Indorsement of the adminis tration of President Tnft," and tells Just how much primary reform the old guard is willing to adopt. One of the committee members said he expected the platform would con tain a blanket Indorsement of the Payne-Aldrlch bill. The labor plank, members of the committee said, would contain a plank for legislation along the lines of Colonel Roosevelt's recommendations for worklngmen's compensation. At 11:30 p. m. the committee ad journed for two hours and announced that all subjrets proposed for incor poration in tho platform had been re ferred to a subcommittee of fourteen for a formulation into a tentative platform to bo acted upon by the full committee aftor the recess.
