Cheyenne, Wyo., Ang 29 Theo dore Roosevelt was none tiie worse today for having been caught in a ter rific wind and rainstorm yesterday while riding a bronco from here to the cattle ranch of United States Sen ator Warren. The ex-prosldent tills morning was up early, preparing for his jump to Denver. ! The storm in which he was caught was one of the worst of the season, thunder and lightning accompanying it. Though the Warren ranch is but sixteen miles away, Mr. Roosevelt wanted a longer ride, making a fif teen mile detour. This fact caused him to be caught in the storm far from shelter. A five mile dash to the road and then a gallop' to the ranch house left him drenched. "It seemed like old times," he said today, in commenting on it. The ex-president left here at 1 :'.'," o'clock this morning for Denver. ..CAs he stood at the Union Pacific depot before the train steamed away for u ride over the prairies, Colonel Roose velt said to the newspaper corre spondents: "This has been a rare treat for me. The people of Cheyenne have made me feel that my trip has been well worth while." ". Just before the train pulled out the ex-president had a slight cold, so he confessed, as a result of his ride in the! blinding rainstorm.

WANT ORDER REVOKED Railroads Ask that Union Sta tion Matter be Held Up Say "Giveal'c Original Plans a Trial" Have n Lot to Say About the Pe tition profess to Have Great Re spect for Commission, Merchunts and the People Argument Heard Saturday. Saturday -afternoon the. argument in the matter of the exceptions tiled by the. railroad to the recent order requiring the enclosing of t:ie con course at union station, was heard by the Corporation Commissioners.':- The railroads ask that the order be held up and the original plans be given a trial. lr. James H. Pou appeared for the Seaboard Air Line and the South ern, and ex-Governor Aycock repre sented the Merchants' Association. Mr. Pou devoted considerable time to the petition "which' had been pre sented signed by over SOO people,, asking that the original plans be car ried out. This petition is signed by people-. from all walks of lite, includ ing the mayor, all living ex-mayors, three-fourths of the Board of Alder men, other public officials, ex-judges,' ex-congressnien. lawyers, doctors. 100 ladies and many 'others. He said that it was not the desire or inten tion to override the order of the com mission, as had been intimated by the newspapers , but that. the .work was being pushed in order to be rea:ly for tiie opening of the colleges and for the great fair. He said there was no desire to offend the -merchants, as they were the customers of the rail roads, but he believed they were mis taken in their contentions. -The 'ex ceptions were not tiled because of the expense, .but. because the people would not lie satisfied with the pro posed change. He asked that the matter be 'held. ..up until such a time when the station would prove inade quate. Mr. Poii's ''.speech was an able pre sentation of the railroads' contention, and was garbed in the most plausible language. Governor Aycock. in his own pecul iar style, which is so effective in an swering an argument, spoke for the merchants. Mr. Aycock tool; up the question of the petition and showed that it was the easiest matter in the world to secure signers for any kind of a petition. He said he didn't care if they had a petition of 7,000 sign ers, the order of the commission should 'be carried out as tiie mer chants. Mr. Aycock said that no doubt a petition could have been got ten against the reduction of passen ger rates when that question was up, yet time has shown that the railroads were wrong. He conlcuded by ask ing the commission to enforce its or der.: Mayor Wynne said that as his name had been mentioned by counsel, he desired to say that he had not signed the petition, but had written a letter favoring leaving the concourse open. PRESIDENT TAFT'S CAMPAIGN LETTER .. (Ky Leased Wire to Tiie Times.) , Washington, Aug. 2!l-TIiere is but one opinion at republican' headquarters here regarding President Taft's cam paign letter, . made --'public - today and that Is that it sounds a keynote of harmony. The fact that the president makes no criticism of the house In surgents or the senate progressives is construed .by the 'officials at republi can headquarters to mean that the president wants the congressional com mittee to help the Insurgents with the same enthusiasm as that given the regulars. It will be recalled that just before congress Adjourned the regulars, who controlled the congressional com mittee gave it out that the Insurgents need expect no help from the com mittee, but the president's leter makes it clear that ho does not sanction such action. It was said today that he con gressional commitcc will not urn in and work for the election of the In surgents who have been renominated. At democratic readquarters thc there was not much comment on the letter. It was remarked, however, that the president had established a prece dent, but what effect It would have on the campaign was problematical. President Taft Opens Fair. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) . Beverly, Mass., Aug. 2 9 At 1 2 o'clock sharp today President Taft touched a button in his library at the summer white house on Burgess Point and opened the Ohio Valley fair at Cincinnati, O., the button having bet n conected with that city by a spe cially leased who,:, I jT' '""V Joseph C. Sibley, who withdrew as a candidate for congress on the repub lican ticket it! the tw enly-cigotli Pennsylvania district and was later arrested on a warrant charging "conspiracy to debauch voters." Ac cording to Sibley's own figures,- sub mitted in his exsnse account as de manded by legislative act, his nomi nation caused him an expenditure of $17,000 in Warren county alone, and S:f2, ."! i;: all the entire district. Checked up with the population of the district this would make an ex penditure of about !S-l a vote. Chas. Ciandall, II. M. Howard and G. M.

CIRCUS QUESTION UP Board Leaves Matter Open Until Next Monday An Kit'ort Being Made to Get 'Cirrus Change Its Raleigh Date Fair Of ficials Say Board Can -'Revoke License Circus Attorneys Hay It Cannot. The board of county commission ers met in special session today it noon for the purpose of hearing the matter relative to the revocation of the license isiied to Ringling's cir cus for Thursday of fair week. Com missioner Yates did not get here un til after 1: 00 o'clock on account of a delayed train, but the other four members heard the argument. The board left the matter open until next Monday in hopes ...'some., "adjustment can be made, Those speaking in behalf of. the Fair Association were Mr. R. H. Bat tle, ex-.ludge R. W. Winston, and Secretary Pogue, while the circus peo ple were represented by. A. Jones, W. B. Jones,.. W. N. Holding, and W. B. Snow. County Attorney "---Galling looked' after the "'.Interests of the board. . M r. Battle staled that Secretary Pogue had appeared before the board August 2 and requested that license be .: refused - to ' circ'uses during ' fair week, and that While the board was looking into the question the circus people had slipped in and secured the license. He stated that the advisory board had met this morning and had adopted a resolution asking that the board either get. the circus to change its date or revoke its license. I7e pro ceeded to tell how it was hoped to erect new '.'building's at t he fair grounds, but that these plans would be impaired if the ('ircus was permit ted to exhibit here ..'on the lu'?t day. He -said he hoped the circus people would change the date so as not to conflict with the fair. Chairman Brewer said that when Mr. Poguo appeared before the board it w;as advised that, license could not be refused. This was on Tuesil-i;-, just before the board adjourned. On Friday he received Mr. Battle's letter showing that the board did have power to refuse license, but it was then too late. Had he known of this power some action would have been taken before. Judge Winston was of the opinion that the board had power to revoke the license; that the circus had as yet no vested right here, ant! as there had been no expense there could be no damage. The presence of the cir cus would be a disadvantage to the countv and a hindrance to the state. County Attorney Gatling read an opinion written by Attorney-general Bickett. This opinion only dealt with the liability of the sheriff in case he should refund the license money, as the question of the power of the board to revoke the license was not under the jurisdiction of his de partment. The sheriff would not be liable for refunding the license (.Continued on Page Eight.) i onconoii FOR AUGUST August Option Jumps Up Over 300 Points Above Saturday's Close A WILD SCRAMBLE Highest Predictions of the Hull Lead ers Reached When August Cotton Soared Around 20 Cents, a Jump of Over :JOO Points The Short In- .

Excitement was rampant on the ex change, centering largely in the Aug ust option. Shortly before 1 1 o'clock immediately after 20 Cents had been paid for August, W, P. Brown hurled an offer of 100,000 bales at that price Into the ring. A scene of wild ex citement followed and room traders immediately began to sell the late months.-. However, the underlying strength was such that only moderate declines were forced. The opening price for August was 16.95 to 17.011. The short interests the brokers who had sold." cotton, for August de livery which they did not own, on the expectation of frost in the cotton belt and a consequent drop in price were caught three days before the end of the month and it was impera tive that they buy the cotton they had contracted to deliver. As a result, as soon as the market opened there was a wild scramble for cotton. But there was little to be had. The bull interests including James A. Patten, William P. Brown, Frank B. Hayne, and Eugene Scales, had been gathering in all the August cotton there was In sight. August cotton on Saturday closed at 16. S3 cents a pound. The first sale today was 17.45 and within 15 minutes it had jumped to 17.90. Then the shorts became involved in a scramble for August option.
