HIT STILL
II "PROGRESSIVE
Position Not Definately Stated
But Leans Strongly To
ward Insurgents
HAS NOT PROMISED
TO SUPPORT ANY ONE
To Hold Aloof From Politics for
Eight Weeks After Return.
We’ll Fight for “my
Policies’’.
(By a Staff Correspondent of the
United Press.)
PARIS, April 26.—Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt Is still a “progressive.”
The colonel and the newspaper men
covering his present trip received the
first big batch of American news- j
papers upon arrival here. A glance!
through these has sufficed to show
the agitation now on back home over 1
the question of whether Colonel ;
Koosevelt will upon his return to the
United States ally himself with the [
■'Progreaslves'• or the "Reactionaries.''
In the first place It can be stated |
positively that Colonel Roosevelt has
not promised to endorse President -
Taft or his administration and has
not directly or indirectly. In confl- !
dence or otherwise, endorsed or in
-way -way commented upon the recent- J
ly enacted Cannon-Aldrich tariff law. ;
In the second place Mr. Roosevelt
has not promised any one assistance
in the coming congressional election
and has tjven no Intimation of any
intentlo to work for "regular" party
candidates. Finally he has not In
dulged In any criticism whatever or
President Taft or the Taft admlnls- ,
t ration.
Colonel Roosevelt has an intense
feeling that having been honored by
the highest gift In the hands of the
American people he owes them a debt
of loyal and unselfish service which |
he proposes to pay through a con
tinued light for those principles which
have come to be termed "progres
sive.” These policies Include real I
railway control, the regulation of (
child labor and broadly stated, the '
advocacy of personal rights as op
posed to property rights.
lLa* Not UI tanged.
So far as dally conversations with
Colonel Koosevelt and closest analysis
his speeches ha* disclosed, he has
undergone no change since his de
parlure from the United States which
will cause him to be dissuaded from
the fight for these- principles by either
personal or party consideration.
As an Indication of the laBt state
ment. Colonel Roosevelt has promised
to speak in Kansas at the John Brown
Memorial services next fall, which »'H.
be under the direct auspices of Gov
ernor Btubbs and Congressman Mur
dock, two deep dyed insurgents.” His
conservation talk in Kansas City will*
be under the auspices of* Gifford
Pinched. latstly, lie has invited Vic
tor Murdock, one of the leaders of
the present 'insurgent' movement In
the Republican party, to a conference
at Ills home In New York.
Those who are expecting the ex
hunter to plunge into the whirlpool
of political dis< unsion as soon as the
gangplank of his returning steamer
ta lowered will be disappointed. He
has decided to hold aloft from any
public discussion ot tiny public affairs
until at least eight weeks after his
return home.
Discusses Aerial Problems.
Aerial war problem* engaged the
attention of Colonel Roosevelt to-day
in a visit to the inllltarj aerostatic
pufk at Meudon. Under the guidance
of Commander BoutUaux, th* colonel
was shown over the park and had ex
plained to him. some of the aerial war
problems that France is trying to
solve.
Colonel Roosevelt evinced the keen
est interest In the work and piled
Boutttaux with questions. moat of
which touched upon the efficiency of
aerial craft as war ag.nts After bis
visit, the colonel Indicated hla (lief
that aerial navigation would play an
astounding part in th»- next great war.
Imter in the day Colonel Roosevelt
attended an Impromptu aviation meet
at ssy-lies-Moullneaux.

Taking Action to Cope With
impending Disaster—Urge
Corn and Sugar Raising.
ATLANTA. GA., April 2«.—-Careful
investigation of the damage to the
cotton crop by the recent cold wave
shows forty per cent, of the total
acreage In this State must be re
planted. This will make the crop a
month late and will also reduce the
supply.
With between flft>* and seventy-five
per cent, of the planted cotton crop
In Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia destroyed by the cold snap,
ar ' the time limit In which reseeding
can be completed numbered In days,
cotton seed mills are demanding pro
hibitive prices for the needed seed.
Farmers taking advantage of the
unusually early spring, planted their
crops three weeks ahead of time and
Sold most of their remaining seed
to the mills at $25 a ton. To-day seed
Is quoted at $100 a ton. with $150 for
tin. selected long staple send. and, but
little Is available even at these figures.
The early planting was at the sug
gestion of the experts of the Federal
government. It was hoped to bring
the staple to maturity early enough to
combat the boll weevil. The delay In
plantinng will bring the crop face to
face with this evil even though the
crop shoudld be abundant.
So aerlous Is the situation that the
Department of Agriculture In the
States affected Is taking official action
to cope with It. In Alabama the de
partment has ordered Inspection of the
mills to see how much seed there Is
on hand and how far It will go for
planting purposes. In Louisiana the
department suggested today that the
big plantations widen their corn and
sugar arena and not replant cotton
ns the chances of a successful crop are
small It is reported this advice will
be accepted.
In Mississippi the department has
undertaken to secure needed seed and
will get It into the hands of the
planters without delay.

• ort- and After." the second offering of
.Manager Benjamin proved to oe at
the Academy Monday night, and his
players established that they are fun
' makers of a high rank. There are
no dull moments in "Before and Af
ter'1 (the play derives its name from
the fact that before taking "Sunny1
Jim" everyone is sore beset and in
clined to be somewhat crass, while af
terward he or she could make Tove to
a wooden Indian, and although the
situations and lines call for uuIck
' action for the money." the players
were well up with their parts. There
was some stammering over lines, but
should one be too exacting of a stock

orised while acting the first ?
As the wife of Dr. Page, the gen
tleman who becomes Involved in at.

of the workings of the love powder,
Miss Catherine Carter was u grew
success. Whe has a wonderfully win
ning personality ,a pretty face ana ;
figure and Is an excellent actress. Her
portrayal of the unsophisticated ana1
loving spouse was most attractive an.,
reul. As Dr. Page Pr&nkiln Bltchie
again proved his merit as an actor
of versatility. £>tage Manager Ervin
Uluukall scored another success as a
character actor, his Interpretation of
: the role of a persistent, avenging and
, sentimental Frenchman being of most
liberal assistance in naming the play
a farce and a success. After one hus
seen Hose Stahl do the tough chorus
lady act, the net woman who essays
t the role must be good to meet ap
i provai, but L.ydi& Knott fulfilled .
' the exactions of the role, and seemed
not entirely unlike the one and only
Rose. Jerome Storm, as Dr. Page’s
j friend • and always there with the
ready wit to assist the distressed and
. involved physician, was also very good
In his role of Dr. Datham. Fulton
Russell, as the man who was seek
ing to hear the voice of nature, was
satisfying in his role of J. J. Jeffreys
(it is spelled "ey," and J. J. in the
i play Insists on this).
"Before and After” will be seen at
I the Academy all this week.

With a royal princess as the hero
j ine and a stout-hearted devoted Amer
; lean as the lover and a spirit of ro
! mance pervading the atmosphere at
all times, Graustark entertained anu
thrilled a large audience at the bi
jou Monday night. Dramatic sltua
i tions, Intrigue and subterfuge run
I rampant through the play, and befud
' died so completely that the pleasing
1 end takes a load from the mind. Great
l dignity, tenderness and love was
1 shown by Isabelle, MacGregor as the
i princess, and as the virile, determined
; lover Maurice Blerre must have ap
j pealed to the feminine mind as being
j idoal. The supporting company isj
i competent and good in Its work. The
play will hold the Bijou boards a

The Olio Trio is the feature at the i

DOG OWNERS ANXIOUS
ABOUT THEIR LICENSES
Another Problem Which Has
Arisen Out of Annexation to
Puzzle Authorities.
Owners of dogs in Washington vvaru
are giving some thought to uie nues
tton of licenses, since mat territory
has become a portion of Richmond
and the tax of Manchester is void.
It appears tnat new licenses will have
to be procured, but whether lovers of
dogs will be permitted tit exchange a
Manchester tag tor one of Richmond,
which will expire al the end of the
present term, is a matter of conjec
ture.
There is merely another preblem
growing out of annexation to annoy
the powers that be.
The enforcement of its ordinance
providing for the licensing of aii can
ines was a costly proposition to Man
chester, and it was deemed that to
maintain a corps of dog-catchers was
too expensive. Consequently, the law
was never rigidly pntorced, and it ‘ot
lows that in the South Side to-day
there are many homeless curs and
mutts, whose howls at night disturb
residents and whose presence during
the day is an eyesore.
There are also numerous valuable
dogs in Washington ward which are
untaxed, according to reliable infor
mation.
In respect to situation of this char
acter. many of which have come up.
there is reason to believe that Rich
mond for the time being will be in
clined to be lenient. The plan, it is
understood, is to bring about changes
as occasion demands.

QUEER CASE ENDS.
Page Court Drops Charge of Drown -
LURAY, VA., April 2«.—The ac
tion of the Circuit Court for Luray
county at the present term puts an
end to the famous drowning case of
a North Carolina negro in the south
ern part of the county several years
ago by being chased into the Shenan
doah river by a crowd of men and
boys. The negro waa passing through
the Grove Hill neighborhood, when he
was set upon, chased a considerable
distance, and Anally, to escape their
rough treatment, ran Into the river,
