Says Man Who Is Certain to Be Re

!

Col. Roosevelt today issued a state
ment charging* Charles S. Whitman,
the district attorney of New York,
with being the tool of Boss Barnes

ment for governor on the Progres
sive ticket. “If Whitman is not the
tool then he is a weakling and un
fit for the position to which he as
pires,” said the colonel.
The attack of Col. Roosevelt upon
Whitman is helieved here to indicate
that Roosevelt will run on the Pro
gressive ticket against him and is
preparing for the fight. The Bull
Moose leaders of the state insist that
he head the ticket and the leaders
of other states that he do not but
rather spend his time campaigning
the country.

September 28. Five hundred and
twenty thousand Republicans are en
rolled in the state and lift,000 Pro

LARGE REBEL MOVEMENT OF TROOPS MADE
MEXICO CITY, July 17—Provis
ional President Carbajal announced
today that he would retire in favor
of Gen. Carranza in a few days, ask
ing only that life and property be
protected by the rebels when they
take over the reins of government.
Carbajal today opened the jaills
and penitentiaries and freed all po
litical prisoners, many of whom have
been in confinement ever since the
Madero overthrow of nearly two
years ago.
The jails have been almost entire
ly emptied, only a few convicted
murderers and crooks being held.
MONTEREY, July 17.—High rebel
officials close to Gen. Carranza stat

ernment of Mexico would refuse to

s
recognize or pay the debts con
tracted by Huerta in his fight against
the rebels, claiming that his govern
ment was founded on treachery and
assassination and that the money
borrowed from foreign bankers would
never be paid.
SALTILLO, July 17.—The biggest
rebel movement of troops yet at
tempted started south today when
sixty-eight train loads of constitu
tionalists, the flower of the army
gathered by Carranza, were sent to
Mexico City to take over the control
of the government. The “First
Chief” accompanies the army and
will immediately be sworn in as pro
visional president, relieving President
Carbajal.
WASHINGTON, July 17.—Accord
ing to the present plans of the ad
ministration the troops at Vera Cruz
will not be withdrawn until condi
tions in Mexico have developed and
the new government has shown a
desire to settle for the damages to
the foreign residents by reason of the
revolution and also for the confisca
tion of property by the rebel army.
The loans entered into by Huerta
will be the subject of considerable
diplomatic correspondence between
the United States and the European
governments and also the new pro
visional government in Mexico. That
the United States will be forced to
bring pressure upon Mexico to se
cure the payment of the foreign debts
is believed here, failing which Eng
land, France, Germany and Spain are
certain to send a debt collecting fleet
to Mexico in spite of the Monroe doc
trine.
Nick Carter, chief clerk of the
Alaska road commission, will return
tonight on the Admiral Evans.

of the Secretary of State in urging
the ballot for women is taken here
as a direct bid for the support of the

“It is an open secret in the haild
ing trades," he said, “that not a stick

of the unions in New York there has
been added in Chicago wholesale

SEATTLE, July 17.—The crew or
the whaler Gayhead, who reached
here on the Mariposa after their ship

and never receive the wages due
them for a year’s whaling in 'he
Arctic.
The federal officials and the Sail
ors Protection Association, along
with the attorneys for the Sailors
Union, are now interested in the case
and will* aid the sailors to force the
owners to pay them the back wages.

go of 9,574 gallons of sperm oil aboard
covered with Insurance amounting to
$35,000, while the hull was insured
