SARATOGA, X. V., Sept. 27. — Colonel Theodore Roosevelt rode today
on the top wave of victory, defeatin g Vice President Sherman for tcra
;v:.:-. porary chairman of the republican states tate convention and bowling over the
><5M' guard in the first engagement of a probable series of conflicts. '
|g v Colonel Roosevelt was in his element. After he had named the members
-:%£.'..the three important committees . and the convention .had adjourned to'
: irJeet tomorrow, the colonel turned to
•the newspapermen and remarked:
"Frazzle," Says Colonel
'"I said 'Frazzle,' you may recall.
You may quote me on that."
At Troy yesterday the former pres
ident said he would beat his oppo
nents to a frazzle.
There were 1,011 votes cast in the
convention, of which Colonel Roose
velt received 568 and Vice President
Saerjnan received 443, giving the
•>lca-der of the progressives a majority'

\u25a0 '\u25a0'.vni'n Colonel Roosevelt spoke feelingly
\.fof . vyhat President Taft had accom

.'that the laws passed reflect high credit
upon all who succeeded in putting
them in their present shape on the
statute • books; they "represent an

[ " 'The difference," he said, " *'is:..that
thet. leader holds his place. by.. firing
.the conscience and appealing to 'the
reason of his followers, and_thc boss
"holds his place by crooked and under
hand manipulation."
. Thunders of applause greeted the
colonel as he was escorted to "the
speakers* stand by Vice -President
sj^ierm2n and Cornelius V- Collins. .
Bay of Oratory - .;\u25a0 .
It was a day of oratory; it was a
day of bitter and "acriminous speech.
With the opening of the convention
State. Chairman Woodruff defined the
. position of the old guard and; an
nounced that Vice President Sherman
had been selected for temporary
chairman by the state committee.
And then the real fight was on.
Colonel Abraham Gruber of New
York had been elected to fire the
verbal hot shot for the old guards and
his speech attacking the former presi
dent was often broken and drowned
by hisses and jeers. Once the pande
monium became so great^that. Colonel
Roosevelt leaped to his feet and asked
for a full hearing for the speaker.
Comptroller William A. Prender
gast of New York city was the cham
pion o fthe progressives, and .', made
& reply to the old guard onslaught. *

The convention had well -prepared
for the outcome of 'the- contest- for

{Special Dispatch to The Call]
"WASHINGTON, Sept 27.— 1t was as
serted here today that the days of Hart
North as director of immigration at the
port of .San Francisco were numbered.
"While it could not be learned positively
how soon North would be relieved, it
was believed that he, would be' ousted
In a short time.
It had been persistently rumored that
North would be fired within .three or
four days/ 1 but this? was denied at the
department of commerce and labor this
afternoon. -
"Mr. North , will not be relieved in
three or four, days" was the way the
private secretary of Secretary of Com
merce and Labor Nagel delicately con
veyed the information that, while North
may last the week out, his time of in
cumbency was very limited.-.

EVIDENCE AGAINST DOCTOR
v PILES UP AT INQUEST
Dr. Thompson Is Hemmed In by
Flood of Damaging Testi
mony and Positive
Identifications
PERFORMED MANY CRIMINAL
OPERATIONS, SAYS WOMAN
LIFE, death and a little lova over
shadowed by the somber drab of
tragedy marked the coroner's
inquest on the death of Evan Swan
yesterday, the poignancy of the hear
ing of the horror being brought to a
tense and dramatic pitch when Marie
Messerschmidt, the nurse, tottered
into the room and, between hysterical
sobs, declared that her relations with
Dr. Robert Thompson, alias James
Grant, the man accused of the murder,
.were closer than those of nurse and
doctor, and in the next breath she, by
! her testimony, sjioved him along >hi 3
way to the penitentiary gates." 1 ;
'Doctor Thompson received her
words: with silent anger. While she
talked he leaned forward and glared
at her, as if seeking by the vefy force
of his gaze to turn her eyes toward
his; but she would .not. Around -•was
a Idensc crowd, hanging to erery word,
watching every gesture, gasping in
pure sensation of horror as bit by bit
the chain of evidence was woven
around the malpractitioner. In the
center of , the room was the trunk in
which the body of Eva Swan was re
moved to the dwelling house at 327
Eureka street, and near it a lantern,
suitcase and grip, all mute evidences
of the crime, and all adding to the
tragic settings.
Nurse Faints on Stand
In the midst of her testimony the
nurse fainted. It was but another sen
sation , and in the face of , what she
had said and > of her manner when
testifying, a ' minor event. The in
terest seemed to lie in the meeting of
Doctor Thompson and Miss'Messer
schmidt and in the angry . glare with
which the accused man regarded the
woman who had torn down his de
fenses. . . , . \ • • »
All day long the hearing lasted..
