Sept. 23.— The pre convention fight between the re publican "old guard" and the progressives. virtually closed to day. After a day of conferences with politicians from various parts of the f=tate. <^olonel Roosevelt said that the chances for victory were even better than yesterday, when he predicted that the progressives would have a major ity of at least 100 delegates at the Saratoga convention next week. Hoosevelt spent some time today in jrolng over the draft of a platform. A direct primary plank in particular was oonsSdered at length, but no one was trilling to say how it should be shaped. Tariff and labor planks also received careful consideration. Resolutions pledging support to The odore Roosevelt in every step he may take In his effort/to popularize party government and to effect equal oppor tunity in business "through the di vorcement of business and politics" \u25a0were adopted here today at a meeting of the executive committee of the Re publican league of clubs of the state of New York.

"It is quite true." said Woodruff, "'that we have lost some delegates from districts we had reason to expect would support Sherman, but as an offset to * these losses we have assurances from other quarters that delegates claimed by the progressives will be recorded in the Sherman column."

Students at Chico Want Dr. Van Liew Reinstated Chief [Special Dispatch to The Call] CHICO. Sept. 23.— At a secret meeting of the associated stu dents of the state normal school here this afternoon, attended by about »200 members, resolutions were unanimously adopted ask-, ing. the trustees of the institu tion . to reinstate Dr. C. C. Van Liew. recently tried on charges of misconduct and later ousted from the institution. • Sentiment in favor of Van Liew has been running high among some of the older students since the opening of the term, and at noon today it was suggested that a testimonial be extended to him. A meeting was called; for 3:30 o'clock, and was held without the knowledge of the faculty. The resolutions adopted were as fol lows: We, the undersigned "mem bers, students of the Chico' state normal school, hereby petition you, the board of said institution, to reinstate * l^r. C. C. Van Liew as presi dent of our alma rrftifcer. The following are our rea sons: 4 ' . ,•, • _\u25a0 \u25a0 , First — We firmly believe in him. Second — He has always been more than a teacher to '-- us, a constant benefactor and. .^ helper to his students, both \ men and women. Third — His' general and wise supervision of the school . has been an example, an in spiration to all. Fourth — He can best con tinue the policy that has been .' established for the school. A new president would natur- ally change the policy' and we believe that this would be detrimental to the best Inter ests' of the students now at tending the normal and to the school.

"Dr. Shaw first met my mother last January, when he attended my wifa. He mads frequent visits and treated my mother and other members of the family. Mrs. Shaw, his wife, was ab sent at the time. "One night in July my father came home and found my mother gone. She left no note of explanation. My wife was in the house during the day, but did not see my mother leave. She took some of her belongings with her, and tore the face from the only photo graph we had of her.; My father and I became suspicious of Dr. Shaw at the time, as he was missing from Mill Valley for three days following., my mother's disappearance. "Than Dr. Shaw returned. He seemed anxious to avoid us whenever we met. My mother had shipped her sewing machine to San Francisco before she left. Through the shipping receipts we followed her. While my father was at the main office of the Wells-Fargo company in San Francisco, my mother telephoned, asking about the sewing machine. Through this my father found her at the Hotel Bristol. He had sam ples- of Dr; Shaw's handwriting, and compared them with the name under which my mother was registere'J. "They were registered under the name of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The handwriting was the same as Dr.. Shaw's. My .mother .had one room and Dr. Shaw another. My mother refused to return.' She did not say that Dr." Shaw was with her, but later Dr. Shaw was seen going into the hotel. "Soon after my mother moved again. Through the sewing machine we traced her to another hotel in Sutter street. I forget the name. That was over ?a , month ago". -Since; then we have not seen her. My father has threatened to kill Dr. Shaw. For that reason I in** duced him to give up',his position .in" San- Francisco and go to Sacramento.; Even now he Is willing to .take my i mother back."

With Doctor Grant and Miss Messerschmidt in the city prison, the police believe; they, have the persons who figured most intimately in the murder. They are. now s bending their", efforts to locate William" Sacks, formrly em ployed as .'an attendant by Doctor: Grant, and Homer Hatch of Paso Robles, the young man who- is.' said to': have taken her to the office of the physician.
