MR
ROOSEVELT
GIVES C TY THANKS
Colonel's Widow Expresses
Gratitude for Dedication of
Boulevard to Late Husband
CALLS IT FIRST MONUMENT
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, the quietly
vplcndld woman whose influence ran
strenuous, rugged life of Theodore
jiuusevcii, expresscuuerp grniumic to
I'hllndclphln today, for the dedication of
the Roosevelt bnulpvnrd to her lumbnnd.
"It Is one of the first finished mon
uments the country has dedicated,"
said'Mrs. Roosevelt on tho trnin com
ing over from New York, "nnd it is a
great pleasure to me to come to l'lilla--dclphla
to ec its dedication."
The Least Conspicuous
To the bowing Pullman-car porters
nnd peering chnir-car occupants who
first heard it whispered that 'the lady
in deep "mourning wns Mrs. Theodore
Roosqvelt; perhaps sho was just the
widow of-.tt iformcrfPrcsidcnt. .
Mbre lntcre&tmlght have attached to
the tall sapling of a Quth in the bluo
serge suit, rumored to bo her son, Ker
mlt, nnd the pretty blondo slip of a
girl with lnrgo blue eyes, said to bo.
his wife. The lady In mourning wns.
the least conspicuous member of tho
party.
There was nothing in the mnnncr or
person of the slender, graceful and
gracious figure to indicnte that tho
personality of its owner is destined to
go down in the pages of history.
"Mother," the late colonel called
her, through the long happy period of
their married life described by him
self ns a "honeymoon over which the
yenrs had no dominion." Great as
was his passion for Americanism, for
tho great arenu of politics, for the
strenuous existence that led him into
the far-away jungles, tho ruling love of
his life, It. Is conceded, wns for his
wife. , . . , ,
' Ills Constant Advisor
Mrs. Roosevelt was the friend, the
political adviser and the constant com
panion of her husband. Although Bhe
was always extremely averse from
stepping into the limelight she followed
her husband's career with closest in
terest. It was a reflected flash of the
colonel In her quiet but sparkling blue
.eyes that sent forth a challenge this
morning when she made in the drawing
room the most telling statement of the
"Are ou folng to voto?" was the
question. . , ,,
"Indeed I am going to vote," wns the
answer, nnd with strenuous emphasis
she added: "the straight Republican
ticket!"
Mrs. Roosevelt firmly declared this
morning she hnd never given an inter
view before imher life, "oven when the
colonel was alive," but tho pressure in
favor of Jho interviewer was heavy.
There was the1 kindly countenance of
Hermit Roosevelt, tho not unencourng
ing glances of his wife nnd the gunrded
pleadings of Thomas Robins, of this
city, nnd Lawrence Abbott, editor of
the Outlook, all of whom acted as escort
to the former President's wife."
Discusses "Vital Need of Country"
Finally Mrs. Roosevelt consented to
lay stress on what sho considered the
vital need of tho country to elect Hard
ing and Coolidgc.
Sho said : ,
"Only will tho full measure of Amer
icanism in tho next administration bo
attained if the people shall declare for
tho party which holds true nationalism
as Its high Ideal. It is not necessary to
forget our duty to our neighbor in doing
our duty nt home."
Mrs. Roosevelt pointed to tho fact
that this time must of necessity appeal
urgently to women because it is within
her power now to uso her influence to
accomplish tho things thnt have here
tofore been beyond her reach.

Who Loses 129 Diamonds
During Night
PAWNSHOPS ARE SEARCHED
Jewel thieves who have been operat
ing here for several weeks were busy
again last night and got away with
loot, mostly diamonds, valued nt more
than ?n0,000. ,
Circumstances surrounding tho case
arc being kept secret by the police, even
the name of the victim being withheld,
but a description of tho stolen gems has
been sent broadcast.
Every pawn shop in the city 'is being
covered by patrolmen this morning in
nn effort to beat the thieves to a con
vT!on of tho loot '"to money.
The police' fliers 'rlfscriblng;.the stolen

well as a gold brooch marked "H. w.

Pierce," and a ladles' platinum ring
were tnxen.
. The location of the place from which
the loot wns tnken Is being carefully
guarded by the police, but from the na
ture of the loot and the fact that the
robbery was reported to tho police dur
ing the' night, dt is thought a firm in
the central business section wns victim
ized. - Virtually all these firmi are protected
by alarm systems by wiurn thieves
operating in the shops set off nutomntic
nlarms which summon private detectives
to the scene. ' -
In many of the jewelry houses in
Other sections no such alarm system
prevails, and robbers working in them
enn take their timo with fair assur
ance that tho loss will not uc discovered
until the store Is opened the following
morning.
It is not thought probable that last
night's robbery was another privntc
house jewel theft, "such ns have been
prevalent recently, because in such rob
bcrics virtually alt 'the jewels taken are
in settings.

DEMOCRATS FIGHT
FOR LEADERSHIP OF

Battle Between Old Bosses and

of Sonate Drive
FUNDS HELD UP TILL
COX TOOK DRY STAND
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Stan Cnrmnondrnt Ermine Public I.edcer
Corvrioht. 1H0, fcv riiMfe Ledocr Co.
Chicago, Oct. 27. Bark of the pres
ent drive to elect n Democratic TTnlted
States Senate lies a struggle for the
control of the Democratic party after
election.
The money thnt has gone into the
Democratic camnpign within the InBt
three weeks Is League of Nations
money. It is Wilson money nnd Jic
Adoo money. It aids Cox, of course,
but it only became available after Cox
had failed to make an issue of his own
nnd to impress his personality upon
the voters. Its real purpose is the
election of n Democrntic majority in
the Senntc, tho scnntortnl contest prov
ing to be, rather than the presidency,
the solemn referendum on the league.
The history of the finnnclne of the
Democrntic enmpoign is this. The old
Bnrty bosses like Murphy, Nugent nnd
rennan, after they had succeeded in
nominating Cox and reorganizing the
Uemocrntic .National lommittce, under
took to' finance the campaign.
One of their number, Wilbur Marsh,
of Iowa, was national treasurer of the
party. They caused certnln offers of
Mipport to come to the Democratic
treasury.
Refuses Liquor Money
Somo of this money was llnuor
money., George White, tho Democrntic
national chairman, was a "dry. lie
had been elected to Congress three times
in Ohio with the nld of the Anti-Saloon
Lengue. At the time this money wns
offered, Cox hnd not made his western
speeches, declaring the "wet" issue
to be ns dead as slavery. Ho had been
nominated by the party lenders who
were closest to the "wet" forces, and
certain "wet" money wns to be had
for his support.
Cox hail told White that he must ac
cept nothing but clean contributions
which would stand public scrutiny
when the list of contributors came to
bo published. The practical politicians
Insisted that White must take this In
junction In a Pickwickinu sense, that
the candidate had only given it to pro
tect himself as hll candidates must. But
White topk it literally and refused the
liquor money. He Is nlso understood
to hnve refused some of the contribu
tions which the old party bosses sent
his wny. '
There was one other source of money,
and thnt wns the money which used to
bcbehlnd Wilson, and which up till th6
time of the convention had been sup
porting McAdoo. It Is usunlly spoken of
ns McAdoo money. It was pro-league
anti-boss money. One large possible
giver of this money spoke of Governor
Cox's political supporters as a gang
of roughnecks. The possessors of this
money were not Impressed with the Cox
candidacy, nor with his prospects of
success. TJicy 'do not want to per
petuate the control of Cox's friends over
the Democrntic party.
Reached Lowest Ebb
When Gcorgo White, hnving refused
the "wet" money, turned to these pos
sible, givers, he was met with a refusal.
He was told that the McAdoo money
would not be nvnilnble unless Cox de
clared himself a "dry." This, too. was
before the western speeches. The Dem
ocrntic nationnl campaign wns in a bnd
way. Tho "wet" money could not be
taken and the other money could not
bo got, on the pretext nt least that the
candidate was not sufficiently "dry."
Wilbur Marsh wns angry nt White's
Impracticability. It is repeated that
he several times threatened to resign.
Murphy, Brennan nnd Nugent slmred
Marsh's anger. They had won control
of the party, but were not able to do
anything with it.
Cox fumbled about for Issues, making
tho mistake of charging excessive and
Improper campaign fund collections
ngalnst the Republican paity. He went
west nnd there declared the wet issue
to be ns dead as slavery. Ills campaign
reached Its lowest ebb.
In tho meantime, the Democrat lend
ers in the states started to present ef
fectively the League of Nntions ns the
only hope of winning the election. This
was especially true in states where sen
atorial candidates were in the field, the
Democratic candidates taking frankly
tho AVIlson position on the lengue.
League Money Appears
About this time a conference was held
in Washington. It was generally
iccogulzed that those attending it were
friends of President Wilson nnd Mr.
McAdoo. It is not possible to
connect it with what followed.
But, its chronological relations are in
teresting. It occurred nt the time when
Cox's case appeared most hopeless. It
was followed by a prompt sunply of
money in the Democrntic treasury for
the presentation of the league issue.
The Democrats begnn to announce con
tributions. Tho Democratic campaign
came, to life. Tho reaction, such ns It
is, in favor of the Democracy, followed
upon it.
When the campaign is over these two
forces whlclv 'fought each other to a
standstill at San Francisco will be in
tho position of tho old bosses and the
Brjnn forces after the Parker campaign
of 1004, with the differences which
changed conditions bring. At thnt time
the stato leaders beat Bryan and put up
n cnudidate of their own choosing. Judge
Parker. Mr. Bryan stood aside nnd
watched them go down to defeat. This
time the same leaders or their succes
sors beat Wilson nnd put up their
choice, Governor Cox. Tho McAdoo
men nt least closed their purses until
they let the other sIdohow how ljtlle
they could do without their eandldnto.
Their money was available to keep alive

cent fare plan would yield more income
than a higher fare.

of the report given' to the company.
"The case is rettled. I cannot discuss
it in any way," he replied. ,

BARNETT MODIFIES
L
Explains Charge of "Indis
criminate" Killings Meant
"Without Judgment"
HIS LETTER CONFIDENTIAL
By the Associated Press
Wasldngton, Oct. 27. Natives killed
In Haiti during the five jonr of Amer
ican occupation numbered 22."0 itKend
of .'12."0 ns previously announced by the
Nnvv Department. This wns disclosed
at the ojioning public session today of
the nnval court of inquiry appointed to
Investigate the conduct of the mnrines
in the islnnd.
Brigadier General Harnett, former
commandant of the corps, the first wit
ness, testified that a mistake in addition
hnd led to the erroneous announcement.
Mnjor Edmund R. MrCIellan. nt
tnehed to the casualty record office of
the corps, testified thnt only n very few
of the natives killed hnd not fallen in
nctlon with the mnrines or the gen
darmes, Rornett testified he was "terribly
shocked" bv conditions in Haiti ns dis
closed at tlie trinls of Privates Walter
E. Johnson and John J. McQuiltin, Jr.,
of the marine corps, Inst year. The
conclusion he had reached after reading
the records in those enses wns that
there existed "a state of mind" which
might hnve made it possible for "any
one to be killed. '
Questioned by Major Jesse F. Dyer,
judge advocate of the court, General
Harnett said he had nn knowledge of
any unlawful killings in Haiti except
those referred to in the trial of thp two
privates. He explained that when he
wrote to Colonel John H. Russell, bri
gade commander in Haiti, that it ap
peared that "indiscriminate killings"
hnd gone (On for some time, he did not
menu "prpiniscuoiiK killings," but kill
ings "without judgment."
General Harnett said he had written
"a personal and confidential" letter to
Colonel Russell about the matter to let
him know thnt "I was deeply Interested
both officially as commandant of the
marine corps nnd personally." Another
renson for u personal letter, he added,
was thnt he did not want the record on
file In Colonel Russell's office.
General Harnett wns on the stand less
than nn hour and the first session of tiie
court Instcd only a little more than thnt
time. The henrings will be continued

Washington, Oct. 27. (By A.PJ)
In a formal statement issued after
they left the White House today,
members of the Pro -League Repub
lican's delegation snld they were
deeply Vouched by the physical ap
pearance of the President, who re
ceived them sitting nnd plainly
showed the effects of his long illness
nnd the tremendous strain he 'has
been carrying.
"The President rend from n man
uscript his reply to thenddress of
Ihc deputation," the statement' con
tinued, "nnd was grently moved as
e did so. More than once his voice
thoked. especially when he referred
!o the soldier boys nnd the mothers
of those who had fallen In battle. It
wns evident thnt he was voicing llie
jrofoundest emotions of his heart:
"The whole occasion was unexpress
.Tily solemn and tender."
By the Associated Press
Washington, Oct. 27. President
Wilson, scpnking to a group of pro
League Republicans today at the White
House, declared that "the ho-ea'.led
Americanism which we hear so much
prating about now is spurious nnd in
vented for party purposes only."
Appealing for the completion of th '
"great mornl achievement" which 1'tte
said the war represented, the President
asserted that "the war will hnvc.be
fought In vain and our Immoiise hct
fices thrown nwny unless We complete
the work "we then becnu." v : M

E
Germany Not Only Schemer
The President warned his hearers not
to be deceived Into supposing thnt Im
perialistic schemes ended with the de
feat of Germany or "thnt .German is
tlie only nation that entertained such
schemes or wns moved by sinister nmbl
tlons and long-standing jealousies to at
tack the very structure of civilization.'
"Thero are other nations," snld tht
President, "which nre likely to be
powerfully moved, or are already
moved, by commercial jealousy, by the
desire to dominate and to have their
own way in politics and in enterprise,
and it is necessary to check them and
to apprise them that the world will be
united against them ns It was ogainst
(lermnn if they attempt any similar
thing."
Tlie President's address follows:
M fellow countrymen : ,
It is to be- feared that tho supreme "
Issue presented for jour considera
tion In the prevent campaign is grow
ing more obscure rather than clearer
h reason of the many arbitrary
turns the discussion of it has taken. '
The editors and publishers of the
country would render a great service
if they would publish the full text of
the covenant of the Lengue of Na
tions, because, having read that, you
would be nblo to judge for yourselves
a great many things in which you
nre now in danger of being misled,
I hope sincerely that it will be very
widely and generally published entire.
It Ik with a desire to reclarlfy the
issue nnd to assist your judgment
thnt I tuke the liberty of stating again
the case submitted to you. In ns sim
ple terms as possible.
German Morale Failed V
Three jears ngo-it was my duty to V
summon jou to the concert of war. to
join the free nntions of tho world in
meeting nud ending the most sinister
peril that hnd ever been developed
in the irresponsible politics of the Old
World. Your response to that call
really settled the fortunes of waf.
You will remember that the morale
of the German people broke down
long before the strength of thp Ger
mnn armies wns broken. Thnt wa
obviously hecnuse tliev relt that Jt
crent mornl force which they could
r, - -
not look in the lace nail come into
the contest, nnd that thenceforth all
their professions of right wy,re dls-
credited and they were tumble to
pretend thnt their continuation of the
war wns not the support of a govern
ment thnt had violated every prlncir
nle of right and every consideration
of humanity.
It Is my privilege to summon you
now to the concert of pence nnd the
completion of the great moral achieve
ment on your part which the war
represented nnd in thp presence jf
which the world found a rcassur-"
ance nnd a recovery of force which
It could have experienced In no other
way. We entered tho war, ns you re
member, not merely to bent Ger
many, but to end the nnsslbllity of
the lcnevsal of such Iniquitous schemes
as Germany entertained.
Must,. Complete WorU
. Tfro war will have been fought In
vain and our Immense sacrifice
thrown away, unless w complete the
workup then began, and I ask )0u
to consider mai mere is only oue
