TROUBLE AHEAD FOR ROOSEVELT Indications Are That Bull Moose Convention Will Split Wide Open. LINES OF FIGHT DRAWN . , i Some of the Rooseveltians Want to Remain In Party -Others Don't. Washington, July 29th. Unless si: signs fail, Mte "Bull Moosu" conven tion which meets io Chicago in another week, will be split wide opej upon the question whether or not the follower! of Roosevelt are Repullxans. v Already the lines for a fight over thi? issue have baen drawn. A part of the "delegates who will assemble in the Win dy City to help in the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt will demand the right to remain in the Republican par ty, but at the same time have seats on the Roo level t grand stand. Another part, and probably a great er proportion of the delegates, will in sist that they are no longer Republi cans, and that they want a third party free from all alliances, Other ques tions will be raised, but they will not have the importance which attaches to the "straddle" issue." When Colonel Roosevelt issued his call for the new party convention he made H as plain as he could that he wanted an organisation that was dis tinct and removed absolutely from the old'parties in in name and in purpese. Hesaid4hat no man who refused to agree with him on that point need to apply for admission. The third party movement seemed to be working out handsomely or this line when the question of. joint electorr came up. It was raised first by Flinn and bii friends in Pennsylvania. Mary land third party people also passed the word along that they were willing to ' fuse with the old party on the elector al ticket, the faction polling the higher . tote to get. the lot.- - - The former President thereupon put forth another statement repudiating the whole scheme of joint electors and declaring to friends that they wou'd bt excommunicated if they persisted in s move that would ally them with the old corrupt Republican party. Instantly William Flinn left for Oys NOTE IN OOTTLE f SIGNED BUTT Supposed to Be Last Message From President's Aid -on Titanic BUT POSSIBLY IS NOT It Is Extremely Improbable As But Was Last Seen On Deck Pawtucket, R. I. Aug. 1. A message purporting to ba th9 last word from Maj ir Archibald Butt, all to President Taf t, wan picked up in a Lottie off Bloca Island yesterday and read as follows; "April 16. Midocean Help on a raft Titanic sinking no water or food. Major Butt." The message was written on a wire less blank bearing the official imprint of the Titanic. The message, bearing the date of Tuesday following the Monday morning when the Titanic went down, was brought here by Joseph Aiken, of North Attleboro; A. J. Liran," of New York, and W. H. Jones, 1044 Madison avenue, Paterson, N. J who said they found the bottle while out sailing. At first they said they were inclined to regard it as a ghastly joke, but on sec ond thought decided to report it. Some say Butt may have floated away from the vessel on a raft, as lie was seen s animgoi the deck when the fhip went down. The fact that so many todies and boRts remained right on the eene of wreck and later were picked up seemed to make this theory extremely improb ble. Opinion was strongly divided asj to the possibility of the message being authentic, and an tff . rt will be made to have the handwriting identified.

Wsshington, July 29. A living, use ful memorial will be erf cted in htnoi Of the late Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, of the United States Department of Agri ctlture, founder of the Farm Demon stration Work. The Knapp Merrorial Committeee has decided to raife $150-, 000 with which to purchase and equip a farm and erect a bui ding in connection with the Great Peabody College for Teachers, in Nashville. Tennessee. Tbe General Education Board of New York has recently appropriated $250,000 to endow the Seaman A. Knapp School of Country Life. The memorial build ing for the purro3es of this school will be located on the campus of the Pea body College, and will contain a life sized statue of the Soulh's great bene factor and friend. The farm will be located within ten or twelve miles of Nashville, and will be conducted in accordance wi'h the Demonstration methods. Pore-bred seed and animals will be developed. The best devices and implements will be used. Crop rotations will be worked out for differ ent southern conditions. Demons' rat ion agents, county superintendents of education and other workers will make this farm a rallying point, in order to carry back to their States the benefits of the -work done there. Corn Club boys and Canning Club girls will also make occasional trips to this agricult ural Mecca for inspiration and instruct ion. The pure bred products of the Knapp Farm will be offered as prizes to the bryi and girls who do the best work. Object of This is to Make Counterfeiting More Dif ficult Task. Wellington, Aug. 1. -Secretary of he Treasury MacVesgh has practically reached a decision to reduce the tizs of the United States currency and nation al bank notes by one third anl to re volution the design so as to make counterfeiting a more difficult task. It is proposed to make the notes 6 by 2J inches. The paper money now in circulation is 7.28 by 3.04 inches. The designs of all paper money wou'd be eys'ematizid and made uniform for every df nominal on. This move is expected to save the government about $900,000 annually and the national banks, which pay for the plates for tbeir notes and part of cost of redemption, about $200,000. The ecunomies would be effected in steel for the p'ates, in paper and in labor. Eighteen months would be required to effect tha change by the prepara tion of the designs, engraving of the nlates and Drintinz of the notes. To meet the objection that for a time at least there would be two sizes oi cur rency iaxircu'Uon it Has tieen sugges ted that the government printTn ad vance a sufficient quantity of the notes of the new size to be exchanged at the sub treasuries and national banks on a fixed date.
