Chicago, "Aug. 26.--ColoneI ' Roose
V velt, burned almost as red as the desert
Indians among . whom he has been
. sojourning arrived here yesterday. ''He
; spent less than two hours in the city
before taking the Pennsylvania spe ial
J r, for Oyster Bay. j ; " '
; He was met at the station byThomas
' D. Knight, president of the Chicago
Progressive Club, and a delegation
: of members and later took a "standing"
' 3 lunch conducted on a ; help-yourself
basis at the club." ' ;
On the way to this function in an au
. tomobile the Colonel was recognized by
j many persons and waved his wide
"'. brimmed Panama hat in response to
occasional shouts of , greeting. , '
He said that he had enjoyed, his va-',-
cation and had profited by his studies
i- of ' Indian character and customs.,-. ,
;; At the clubrooms the Colonel was
' greeted by several suffragettes, headed
I by Grace Wilbur Trout, who, like
? the former President, wore a panama
hat. , -
! t In the course of his talk with Mrs.
i Trout, who told him she was the mother
of four sons, he said: "I brought up my
sons to fight; after. you have learned to
fight you can be as peaceful as you want
to."
He added that he knew of no man
who was so - much entitled ; to a vote
the' mother of sons and daughters.
As the luncheon was informal, the
, ' Colonel wore the same gray suit and
jsoft shirt that he wore on the train. He
paused at a book store and bought some
books, including one T about : a prize
fighter, another giving an Indian story
, and a third on big game. " ,.
' In speaking of his hunting in Arizona
Colonel Roosevelt said he spent thefirst
' ' fortnight -hunting and that the party
!;.; killed three mountain lions.; , He said
e shot one and his two sons killed the
: 'others. He said the only fresh meat
the party, had on- the hunting, trip
' was the mountain lions, and that the
i meat was delicious. He spent two weeks
: ' among the Navajos and visited the great
1 ' natural bridge which spans the Grand
Canyon, which he described aV a
"triumphial arch of nature." ' He

. the snake dance of the priests of the
' Hope Indians, " which - he said"' was
extremely interesting.
' ColoneJ Roosevelt made a five-minute
speech at the Progressive Club. In re
ferring to the talk of. merging th3
Republican and Progressive Parties,
he asserted the only possibility of such
' a plan would be for the Republicans
to adopt every principle-of the Pro
gressives. Jn his .brief speech Colonel
r Roosevelt, said: '-- '
"There would be no woman suffrage
in Illinois today if it had not been for
work done by the Progressive party
last year, .Never in the history of the
country has a political party accom
. pished what the Progressive Party
has in its brief history.
- ."In regard to woman suffrage, I al
ways insisted that woman's duty as a
. voter would not interfere with her
; domestic duties any more than it does
with a man's business.- There are some
; y fool men who neglect their business
" for politics, and I suppose there will
te some feminine fools of the same kind
God made women fools to match the
men'.- The average man and woman's
first duty is to their home. : Politics
comes second. " ' ' .
"There has been, a great deal of talk
about political parties getting together

OUT FEW REPLY
TO HIS LETTER
C. L. IVES HAS NOT RECEIVED
REQUESTED INFORMATION
ON FREIGHT RATES. ;
.' C. L. Ives of this cityjwho has been
appointed as one of the committeemen
to assist the Governor, the Corporation
Commission and the Just Freight Rate
Association in reaching a satisfactory
solution of the rate question at the
approaching special session of the Leg
islature, informed a Journal reporter
yesterday that he had : received . but
few replies from the letters he sent out
to local merchants and manufacturers
a few "days ago asking them to furnish
him with any information which .the
might have on the freight rate question.
This is a matter of vital importance
to , the business : men of 'New ', Bern
and surrounding section and Mr.' Ives
is surprised to know that so little in
terest is being manifested in it. ' Unless
je has this information which he requests
of the manufacturers and merchants
he will hot be able to show the commis
sion i the discriminations which ; have
been, made against -this section and he
requests those who received letters from
him to answer them as soon as possible.
OF BALL PLAYERS
DR. J. D. CLARK , CHOSEN AS
HISTORIAN OF FAMOUS
BASEBALL TEAM.
At the meeting Monday . night- at
the Court House in this city of five
of the seven surviving members of the
famous - Elm City Baseball Team,
an account of which' appeared in the
Journal yesterday morning, Dr. J. D
Clark, one of themembers of this team
was appointed as historian, ','
It'will be Dr. Clark's duty and it is
his intention to get ; up a complete
history of the team, describing in de
tail each of the most exciting games
in which the , team ' participated and
giving a' synopsjs of the life of each
member. Doubtless there is no person
living who is better fitted for this work.
Dr. Clark was and still is "some fan,"
and during- the years that' the 'Elm
City team was the pride of this section
he was one of its most active members.
, Nothing pleases - Dr. i Clark better
than to tell of the achievements and
victories ,: of the. team and he 1 talks
in a ; most interesting " manner. ' Dr.
Clark will begin at once to get this
history into shape, 'and when his work
is completed it -will probably be pub
lished in pamphlet v or book .- form.,
One unusual feature about the career
of this, team which it is , not probable
that any other team "in . the State can
boast, is that it never Buffered 'defeat,
being the victor in each and every game
they t played. , ,

to ' place' advertising matter for the

from the officials of the Norfolk South
ern Railway Company in which they
stated that on account of the Labor
Day races they would give reduced
rates on their line between Washington
and this city, Oriental, Goldsboro
and Beaufort and all intermediate
stations. -

along the Norfolk Southern road can
come to. New Bern on Labor Day at a
very reduced rate. Ticket agents at
each station have been notified of the
rate from their station and any informa
tion desired may be obtained from
them. The Labor Day races will be
the biggest event of its kind ever pulled
off In Eastern North Carolina and the
promoters are expecting a record
breaking attendance.
: While Mr. Williams is devoting much
of his time toward making the Labor
Day races successful he is by no means
neglecting the great Eastern Carolina
Fair, which 'will be opened during the
last week in October. One of the free
attractions which will be seen during
the dair will be a spectacular pyro
technical display. Mr. Williams is now
corresponding With several companies
who make a speciality of manufacturing
special orders of fireworks for Fairs
and other gala occasions and is arrang
ing quite an interesting pogram for
this feature. The premium books
of the next Fair have been issued
and have been mailed out to the farmers
and many of them have already began
to prepare their exhibits.

colored people arrived in the city yes

Va., yesterday . morning " from' points
over their road bythe Norfolk Southern

SHERIFF
.IMJllil
AFTER MARSHALLS
Owner And Crew Of Yacht Gracee
Are Charged With
With Felony.
WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN
Sheriff Asks That They Be Held
For Him If They
Return.
When George Marshall, owner of
the yacht Gracee from which the police
confiscated more than a thousand bot
tles of beer and twenty-five or thirty
gallons of whiskey a few weeks ago,
the police did not know some things
that they know now, else Marshall and
his father, S. K. Marshall, and brother
John Marshall, would not have been
allowed to leave on George Marshall's
bond for appearance here to stand
trial for' violating the Search and
Seizure Law. The following letter
from Sheriff B. T. Melson, of Accomac
county, Va., shows that the Marshall's
are badly wanted in Virginia:
Chief of Police,
New Bern, N. C.
Dear Sir,
I am writing to ask that you .kindly
advise me if you have under arrest
in your city three men, bearing the
name of Marshall, and who were in
charge of a yacht named Gracee. I
am informed that they were arrested
by you on the 8th inst. These people
are wanted in this county and stan
charged with a felony. I have wired
you three times relative to this matte
but suppose the telegrams muse ha v.
gone wrong.
Very truly,
B. T. MELSON,
Sheriff Accomack county, Va.
Chief of Police Lupton did not .-e
ceive the telegrams referred to in the
Sheriff's letter but immediately upon
receiptofithe communication he got
in communication with him and told
him that the men, after George Marshall
had given bond for his appearance
at the next term of Superior Court,
had departed. Learning this the sheriff
asked that they be held if they returned,
and that he be notified at once.
No one seems to know where the
Marshalls have gone. Chief of Police
Lupton is in receipt of a letter fro:a
George Marshall's wife who is at
Norfol';, Va., str.tlng that she read
an acco int of the arrest of the men. and
asking the Chief to let her know where
she could find her husband as si e had
heard nothing from him i.i s?vcral
weeks. However, the Chief is unable
to give this, desired information.
Just what the crime the trio has com
mitted in Virginia is, is not known but
the local authorities are of the opinion
that New Bern will not again see the
Marshall's and that George Marshall
will forfeit his bond of fifty dollars
which is secured by a local business man,
rather than return and face a probable
jail sentence here and to be returned
to Virginia upon his release.
STEAMER IS
BEING REPAIRED
THE VANCEBORO RECENTLY
DAMAGED,. IS IN HANDS
, ' OF CARPENTERS.
The steamer Vanceboro, which was
badly damaged during the fire which
destroyed . a .part of - the ' Redmond
wharf at the foot of Craven street
a few nights ago, has been taken to
Vanceboro where she will be repaired
and again placed on the line between
this city and that point.
The dair.age to this vessel, which is
owned by the Swift Creek Transpor
tation Company, will amount to abou
three hundred dollars. The owners
carried k" no insurance ' on , the ; boat
and the loss is a total one. The flames
were confined mainly to the pilot house
and the upper deck - which was badly
charred. " '
. The work of - repairing the boat
will probably consume a week or two
and she will be in , commission again
du ing the first part of September.
