Progressive Leaders To Chicago
Meeting.
New York, Dec. 8—Col. Thec»-
diore Roosevelt and 150 other
Piogressive party lea-iers and
memders left for, Chicago today
on a special trsiih of 10 cars,
from the rear of which in elec
tric letters was emblazoned
‘Bull Moose Special, *.’, ::-The sign j
01 this mid-Vkinter political activ-!
iry is the proposed solidification;
of ihe new party and the making |
of the plans for future camp-;
aigns. iVlembers from other
States are on the way to join in
the Chicago conference.
Colonel Roosevelt and his par
ty were cheered by a small
crowd as they left at 1 o’clock.
Although the Colonel had ^ no
comment to make upon the situs
ation, several members of his
party, particular Oscar Straus-
and Frank A. Munsey declared
that if the Republiban pai*ty
hoped to rejuvenate itself it
v/ould have to be by turning
Progressive.
These sentiments were in
reference to the decision of the
Republican Goveriiors' confer
ence in Washington yesterday
to wait another year before
taking steps to reorganize the
party with the hope expressed
that Progressives would be
brought back into the fold.
Mr. Munsey said that those
attempting this task ’’had a big
job on their hands.” He added
ibat the only way to achieve
the union was for Republicans
10 accept the Progressive plat-
lorm and politics and come into;
the parto as formed. If he did
this he said the two parties i
)uld be united. |
Similar sentiments were ex-1
pressed bo several others of thej
V,!
than a score of women 1
v/ere ifi the party which tookj
ine train here. I

Gastly Find in Kentucky Hotel.
Cattlettsburg, Ky., Dec. 5.—
When a door to a hotel was
battefd down today the body of
a young woman who had been
d^id probably 48h-:urs was lying
on a bed. Near-by a man lay
dying, while the third occupant
of the room a—women who had
registerd as the man’s wife-
seemed unable in any way to
give account for the trag« dy.
The trio reached the hotel on
Monday night. The girl who
was found dead registerd as
“Minnie Turner.”
They man gave his name as
James York, of Huntington,
W. Va., and the second women
registered as Mrs. York.
They did not appear aboiit the
hotel in two days after their
arrival,, and the hotel proprietor
determined to break down the
door to their room.
Mrs. York seemed to know
that the Turner girl was dead
while York was so weak he
could make no statement. Cor
oner Swope, of Ashland, began
an investigation, He said he
believed the Turner girls death
was caused by poison and he
ordered the York Women held.
The name of the York woman
was registered as Mrs. York is
said to be Mrs. Edward Gullit,
of Huntington, W. Va. She
has been taken into custody
to await futher investi^tion by
the coroner.

Blease Condemned.
Columbia, S. C., Dec. 8. — Pub
lic i opinion of the better class
throughout South Carolina gen
erally depreceates and condemns
such utterances as those of Gov.
C jle L. Blease at the governor’s
conference in Richmond, where
he indorsed lynching and promis
ed his acquiescence in mob viol
ence. His action, howevet*, was
not a surprise. He nas always
conducted his campaigns on this
basis, one of his most notorious
declarations being “I stand by
my friend.”
Statistics are quoted to show
that since he has taken office there
has been a great increase in the
number of lynching.
In the last Democratic, primary
Governor Blease wag renominated
by a majority of 2,000 in a itotal
of 140,000 votes cast. It was
freely charged that there had
been ballot box stuffing, but the
state executive committee declar
ed it unable to fiud proof of frauds
sufficient to throw, out the nomi
nation. 1
Gov. Bleas^s declaration that
he will enter |the senate in 1915
undoubtedly means that he intend
to run for the Democratic homing,
tion for, the senate in oppoisition
to C. E, Smith, who^ tSin'ex
pires in 1915. It Is probable that
Senator Smith will run.
