In Accident Abroad
SAN FRANCISCAN
KILLED AT MUNICH
Airs. Alvina Goodrich Meets
Death in Auto Accident;
Sister Is Injured
. Struck by a runaway automobile
while leaving the Prinz Regenten'4hea
trer in Munich, Bavaria, Mrs.; Alvina
Goodrich, a sister of E/A. Luchsinger, a
director of the Humboldt savings bank,
and who made her home ait 2SOS Jack
son street, was instantly killed, accord
ing to European dispatches received
last night. Mrs. Rose Buckingham, her
sister.'who was with her at the time,
was injured in the same accident, but
is reported to be out of all danger.
According to the dispatches, Mrs.
Goodrich and Mrs. Buckingham, were
leaving the theater Tuesday night,
when the driver; of a. passing *automo- j
bile lost control of. the machine and
crashed into the crov.a. Mrs," Gpodrich

T3»t- fii si 'reports? received v'ihe af- i
fair was that Mrs. - Buckingham had;
been killed and her sister injured, but
a later report corrected this informa
tion.
ilrs. Goodrich had. lived with Mrs.
Buckingham at 2808 Jackson street
since the death of the i latter" s husband,
E. A. Buckingham, a wealthy real es
tate dealer, three years ago.' Previous
ly she had spent much of her time in
Europe..
'\u0084 . The first news of the tragedy was
conveyed to the relatives through the
.press dispatches. Luchsinger immedi
ately cabled for full details, but up to '
late last night had not received any '
reply. -. This morning his son, G.= A.
Luchsinger, will leave for Europe,'in
tending to catch the steamer Kaiser,
WHhelm at New York, and on his arri
val at. Munich will take charge of the!!
body. ' . :
Mrs. Buckingham's three children
art in San Francisco «in charge of a !
governess. Nothing was said to them ;
y ; en the first reports were received,
t'.vre being a thought that there mighf
bp some mistake arid that the children
could better be informed of ' the cir
cumstances wheji,. the details were re
ceived. .
Mrs. Buckingham and Mrs! Goodrich
left for. Europe last November, .intend
ing to return to San Francisco shortly
afterthe coming Christmas day. Let
ters received from them /showed that
they were enjoying their : trip im
mensely. Mrs. Buckingham., who was
in ill health, when v she left: had im
proved gxeatly, and the members of
the family were awaiting the reunion
with the keenest'; anticipation."
Prior to her. husband's 'death Mrs.

however, she has lived quietly" with" her

Thaw, after one of. her. son's unusually
spectacular performances, went into
court here and asked, that her son oe
declared an habitual drunkard andj that
his -property _pc turned over to 'some
one designated, by the court. With
much difficulty he persuaded his mother
not to press the case. Ho made his
•mother st>me pr.omises at. that -time
which he has. kept. lie was not asked
to -promise not to drink at all, but to
be moderate and not spectacular.
..Once young Thaw forgot his promise
to his ..mother. That was when" he,
within : the last year, drank 70 brandy
and sodas at the; Allegheny countiy
club on: a wager and for days lay at
the point of death .in a. hospital.

Fair Play Under New Rules Demanded
Roosevelt For "American Nationalism"
PORTIONS OF; ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH
In eyerj; rrisc struggle for human betterment one of the main objects, and often the only object, has been to
achieve in larger measure equality of [opportunity. In the struggk for this great end, nations rise from barbarism
to civilization,: and through, it peoples press forward from one stage of enlightenment to the next. One of the
chief factors in progress' iV the destruction of special privilege. The essence of any struggle for healthy liberty
has always been and 'must always be to tal(e from some one man or class of men the right to enjoy immunity,
which has not been earned by service to his'or their fellows. [ '.
"In our day it appears as the s truggle of free men to gain and hold the righ t of self-government . as against
the special interests, who twist the methods of free government into machinery for defeating the popular will.
I stand for the square deal. But when I say that lam for the square deal I mean hot merely that I stand
for fair play under the present rules of the game, but that I hand for having those rules changed so as to work
for a more substantial equality of opportunity and of reward for equally good service. 1 ,
This means that our governments,' national and slate; must be freed from the sinister influence or control of
Now, mind you, if there were any attempt by mob violence or in any other way to plunder and worfc.harm
to the special interest whatever it may bethat I most dislike, to > the wealthy man whoever he may be for whom m
I have the gredieU contempt, I would fight for him and so would you if you were worth your salt. He should
have justice. 'Every special interest is entitled to justice. •
// / could ask but one thing of my fellow* countrymen, my request would be thai whenever they go in for a
reform they always remember the .two; sides and that they always exact justice from one side as much as from
the, other. I have small use for the public servant who can always see and denounce the corruption of the capital
ist, but who can not be persuaded; especially before election, to say a word about lawless mob violence; and I
have equally small use for the man, be he judge on the' bench or editor of a great newspaper, or wealthy and
influential private, citizen, who can see clearly enough and denounce the lawlessness of mobs, but whose eyes are
blind when the question is one of corruption in business on a-gigantic scale. ";
WALL STREET COW
HAS GONE "DRY"
Rockefeller and Morgan Love
G;0. P. All Right, but Not
in Real Money
[Special Dispatch to The CaHJ
WASHINGTON, .Aug. "31.— Managers
of the republican congressional cam
paign are up against the hbrdest prob
lem Jtiey^btive; ove? 4 ' encountered. . Al
thougli th< a it'a.i*2 i usirtij cyefy argument
in their campaign, the Wall street cow,
for the first'tlme; in ; many years, is
refusing to "give down" for the carry
ing on of the present campaign.
Rockefeller, Morgan and all ;the other
big financiers like the republican party
all' right, they say, but not to the
extent of yielding up any real rtioney
.ro the campaign managers. When it
comes to contributing, for carrying on
the campaign they don't love the grand
old party of .Lincoln worth a cent.
No matter where they go the repub
lican managers are being met with the
icy manner. " Chairman William B. Mc-
Kinl'cy, who spends his time between
New York and Chicago, has been giv
ing a splendid imitation- of Eliza thrust
out iii the snow and forced to skate
across the ice. j , _.
- All tjie other regular, republican cam
paign managers are having similar ex- ;
periences. ' They say it. looks like a
mighty cold winter. ;. v I
The present experience • of the re- j
publican managers, is in sharp
to 1906, when Mark Hanna milked the
Wall street cow with as much delight
to the cow as to the .grand old party
of LlncoHi. ;'"•
Insurgency Is the cause of the tight
ening of the purse strings. When the
Wall street barons Ure approached they
'give one hoot of derision and say:
VGo 'way back. What can you do
for' us? The , insurgents , are getting
control of 'U the republican party, and if
you are victorious it merely means that
we will have Roosevelt for president
again. No, thankyou; please vcount. us
malefactors; of. great wealth as, among
the absent."- ' - . ;. . \: : ' :',-: '..', .. ',
| The general impression gained by. the
republican managers is that Wall street
would much prefer' Judsbn Harmon- to
Theodore. Roosevelt" for president, .in'
1912. They would prefer' to" take
chanccis -on ; the man- who was attorney
'general under Cleveland and .who has
acted as attorney for many corpora
tions, rather than on the -man who; in
his seven year sin the White "House
aroused the public conscience.' to cor
porate corruption. V
Because of- that and because they be
lieve that even though the republicans
carry -the next house,- the. insurgents
will -be the nominating faction, the in
terests .are -refusing to give; financial
comfort to the. republican managers.
Moreover. - the regular republican
managers are finding that there- is more
insurgency in ; the east':: than. '^they ex
pected, r V Men whom they have i\ ap
j proached for money have admitted their

STARVATION MAKES
MAN STEAL MILK
Hard Hearts of Police Touched
by Pitiful Tale of Hotel
Clerk
LOS ANGELES/ Aug. - 31.f— Pleading
that he was -on' the verge of -starvation,
J. B. Bleakmore, who; came here re-«
cently from San Francisco, told a story
of hunger and, privation that touched
the .hearts of the police today. Bleak
more, who says he ; was formerly em
ployed as a clerk at the Mason and the
Brule hotels' in! San Francisco, was ar
rested while attempting to steal a t quart
of milk. - . . ; »
"I admit I tried to steal the bottle of
milk," Bleakmore said. "It had been
more than 24 hours since I tasted food
and I could not resist taking the milk."
When-placed in jail a bottle of milk
was handed to him.- He swallowed the
liquid in a few gulps. ; The"°jailer then
prepared a meal, which Bleakmore.
eagerly devoured.
" Bleakmore says he , arrived in Los
Angeles a week ago and has been un
able to otbaln work. His funds were
exhausted, he says, and he has been
compelled, to roam the streets i- and v do
without food. ,\ : :
His story will be investigated and
Bleakmore probably yill be released.

SEATTLE. Aug. 31.— The controversy
between the army officers at Fort Law

svhich began last June when, after an
assault by a negro soldier ; "of , the
Twenty-fifth infantry upon a white
.woman, the police established a patrol
service, on the military^ reservation,
was ended today, by the discontinuance
of the police patrol.
When the police were placed on the
fort grounds the -officers? objected mild
ly. Recently a negro soldier was ar
rested by a policeman on the reserva

girls. Captain Deane of the negro
regiment, 'wrote to Chief of Police
Wapperstein asking that the patrol be
.withdrawn.;* The chief refused.
;! .Colonel W. H. Evans of the Twenty
fifth i infantry thereupon wrote stating
that a sentinel would be posted at the
reservation gate, "who will .be properly
instructed to, prevent trespass on this
reservation by^individuals, whether aet

"Square Deal," Says Former
President, "Means Freedom
From Sinister Influence"
PROBLEM THE SAME AS
IN TIME OF LINCOLN
Speech at Dedication of John
Brown's Battlefield Aligns
Teddy With Insurgents
"ISSUE IS JOINED AND
WE MUST FIGHT OR FAIL"
OSA\VATOMIE.Kan.,Aus. 31.—
In clear and emphatic fashion
Theodore Roosevelt announced
his political creed here today. It was
: a creed of progressive republicanism.
It aligned him definitely with the pro
gressive movement within the party
as a whole. It placed him on record
as an advocate of some policies which
fihd favor with the insurgents and as*
• an opponent of every "special interest*
which he believes exercises a sinister
influence on the affairs of the people.
5 Roosevelt declared himself in favor
of a wide increase in the power of
$ the National government, so that it
> might assume greater activity in con
•| trol pf the corporations, and in work
- j ing out the policies which he believes
' ! should be adopted. He declared for
".{the "new nationalism." as he termed
5 j such an increase in governmental
• power.
"We Must Fight or Fail"
Roosevelt' characterized the issue of
the day as "the struggle of free men
to gain and hold the right of self-gov
ernment as against the special inter
ests, who twist the methods of free
government into machinery for defeat
ins the popular wilL"
! "The issue 13 joined and we must
j light or fail," said he. -—
! i While Roosevelt's speech is regard
! cd by many of- those who heard it as
, i. Carrying him further than before with
jthe progressive movement, the colonel
1 coupled with his declaration a warn
, ing against the extremist, injecting An
extemporaneous remark on the subject
into his prepared speechv
Against Wild Eyed Speakers
"I do not want our people to follow
men whose intentions are excellent, but
whose eyes are a little too wild to
. make it safe to trust them." he said.
Another sentence which I>posevelt
put into his speech extemporaneously
| brought forth applause from the crowd.
I He said:
"Xo man should make a promise be
fore election that he does not intend -to
keep after election, and if he does not!
keep it hunt him out.".
The people gave his words an inter
pretation of their own, and the burst
of cheering which broke out when
they heard them was one of the wild
est of the day.
j Speech on Battlefield
j The speech was delivered in a grove
> on the battlefield where John Brown
j fought the Missouri raiders on August
I 30, 1556. The setting was picturesque.
• Thousands 'of people had gathered for
.the dedication of the battle/ield as a
state, park. * *
Roosevelt stood on a table ,; which
was .placed on the platform, and tow
ered high above the dense throng
which surged about him on every
side. The crowd was so great that
only a small part of the people could
hear what was being said, but they all 1
cheered. The cheering was so enthu
siastic that Roosevelt was interrupted
constantly and had to hold up hi 3 ham!
in protest time after time. The
crowd caught up every phrase which .
it interpreted as 'an expression of pro- \u25a0"'
gressive sentiment and shouted. a» long:
as the colonel,would let it. His speech
in part follows:
There have been two great crises
in our country's history; first, when
. it was formed, and then again when
it was perpetuated. The formative
period included not merely the rev
olutionary war, but the creation ,
and adpotion of • tha ' constitution
(\u25a0and the first dozen years of work
under it. !! Then came the 80 years
'\u25a0:\u25a0 during, which we spread across the
-continent— years of • vital growth,
.but of growth without rather than
growth within. Then came "the time *
' i of stress v :and strain which .cuimi-
Vnuted in the civil war, the period of ,
t-:terribl< struggle -üboe : . the issue of
I which defended the 'juatlfieitioa •*
