CHICAGO, Nov. . Theodore Roosevelt
apent a large part of his day In walking
tin-out; IV , string of sleeping cars on
the '.wiy from his stateroom to the rear
platform or hark again. Ha was
aboard a train that puffed Its way across
Indiana and Ohio In auch a leisurely fash
ion and made so many stops that he ex
claimed: "This train visits through the
country!"
At alt of the stations there were crowds
which cheered and the Lionel made his
appearance on the platform. Karly In the
day the crowds were small, for It was not
generally known that the colonel was pass
in: by. Woift of his approach was flashed
ahead over the wires from one town to
another and as the day went by the crowds
became larger and noisier. Colonel Roose
velt made a goofl many trips to the rear
platform so that his day waa not one of
such complete rest as he had expected. It
was his first long trip since hla return from
Africa without a private tar and the pas
sengers all got acquainted with him before
he reached Chicago at D o'clock tonight.
A man walked down the track at Delphos.
O., dragging un unwilling bear at the end
ot a chain so that Colonel Roosevelt might
see It. At several places the people pelted
him with huge carnations. He made short
peecheaj to a few of the largest crowds.
"An I am trying to do in politics," he
said at Warsaw, lnd., "is to get things a
Uttlo straighter a little mora decent."
Cirllk Meets Calomel.
Charles Qrilk, republican candidate for
congress, for whom Colonel Roosevelt Is to
turak In Iowa tomorrow, met the colonel at
the station and took htm in an automobile
to hla special car, in which he departed an
hour later. Colonel Roosevelt is to ar
rive at Davenport at 2:46 a. m. and will
remain in his car until time for breakfast

CALM AN ERA. Cuba. Nov. S. -George
Von L. Meyer, the American secretary ol
the navy, Is homeward bound today, hav
ing completed a 1.000-mlle tour of the Pa
cific and gulf naval station, lie plana to
be at Hamilton, Mass., In time to vote
next Tuesday.
The secretary sailed lat evening on the
t'nlted States dispatch boat Dolphin, after
making an Inspection of the naval station
at Guantanamo.
Mr. Meyer la convinced as a result of
his observations that Guantanamo occu
pies the only roinmandlng Kite as a naval
base erseutlally auxiliary to the defence of
the lanama canal. The bay is perfectly
defensible, capable of containing a fleet
of any size, and possesses all the require
ments of a first-class naval base that
might be established without great ex
pence
The secretary found the flint step nece
sary Is the consolidation of the various de
pan inents existing at the station, which
at present are too scattered for effective
co-operation. He inspected the dry dock
the construction of which wa.4 beirun some
time ago, and Is uncertain whether it
would he advisable to transfer the dry
doek to a new site which Is bett-r pro
tected and near which It would be practical
to place In addition two floating docks
now In the possession of the government,
with but small expense for drrdtftng.
Secretary Meyer aald lie was firmly con
vinced that only one naval base was
necessary to secure control of the Carri
bean sea and the Gulf of Mexico, with a
minor auxiliary stations at some point to
be determined In the future.

CHICAGO. Nov. 3 reace offerings by
several clothing concerns, full settlement
by two companies, several minor riot scares
which failed to materialize and a report
that the garment strike would extend to
pastern cities, constituted today's activities
in the garment workers' strike here. To-
nlglt there is a well defined feeling a morn,"
labor leaders that the backbone of the
strike Is broken and there is little fear that
It will spread to other cities. The feel,n
of the strikers that the tide has turned In
their favor came with the signing of an
agreement' by Conn, Itisstnan & Co. and
Alschuler. Dreyer &' Co., by which ifKi
men are to return to work for' each firm.
No mention of wages Is "made In 'the agree
ment, which provides forty-eight hours
work each week for cutters and fifty:four
hours for miscellaneous employes. The
agreement also gives the firms the right to
use the union label and Is held by the strik
ers to be a victory.
Monster Parade Prohibited.
The right to - have a monster parade
through the business district whs refused
tho strikers when a committee sought that
privilege frum the chief of police today. An
effort flret was made to get permission
from Mayor Busse, but the committee was
unable to find him. The chief of police
refused to permit the parade on the
ground that it would be likely to result in
more rioting.
The first police trouble of the day came
late In the afternoon, when a telephone
messago said fifty women strikers were
gathering about a clothlnK house on Blue
Island avenue. Several wagon loads of
patrolmen were rushed to the shop, dis
persed the crowd with their clubs and ar
rested one girl, Anna Krai, who har?
passed the line, entered 'the shop and per
suaded several strikebreakers td leave the r
work. An hour later another woman was
arrested when a crowd gathered at Wood
and Thdma streets.

Their Claims.
Nine ranchmen In western Nebraska have
been Indicted by the federal grand Jury on
tho charge of attempting to drive home
slenders from their claims at the point of
j;uns. according to a report announced
Thin sday.
Tho indictments charge conspiracy to
drive from their claims at the points of
guns homesteaders who took uuarter sec
tions of eeinl-arld hind under the Klnkald
homestead law by the defendants. Thosu
Indicted, are Perry 8. Yeast of llsannls.
Nob.; his son, Frank W. Yeast; Ix-Hlle E.
Halllnger, M. C. Hubbel, Einll Anderson,
Wlllmot 7.. Emerson, Harry Sutton, Bonnn
11. Hawthorne and Dr. Hurry H. Huff.
There are four counts In the Indictments
and the specific overt acts mentioned indi
cate an unusual frontier condition,
Ot the foregoing defendants, Wllmolt 'A.
Emerson and Boone H. Hawthorne have
been arretted. Bond was fixed in eaih
iac at SKi.iXH). which they readily gave
Other arrests are expected to follow within
.t day or two.
According to the charges made in the in
dictment, Yeast and hla associates carried
their efforts so far as to secure the In-
arcerntlon In the insane asylum at Hast
ings, Neb., of one of their alleged victims.
When the Klnkald .homestead law was
passed ninny persons went to urum., win
ner. Harden, Cherry and other western
Nebraska counties and took PP quarter sec
tions. The land Is In the sand hills coun
try, but contains many fcrtllo valleys. The
homesteaders generally lived In tents and
depended on tha valley land for their liv
ing. Several big ranchers, among them
Yeast and his associates, have heretofore
depended on this valley land for their
hay for winter feeding and the settling of
homesteaders was resented.
Thirty Persona in Rand.
The indictment charges that a band ot
about thirty persons, headed by Yeast,
went to the homes of many of these home
steader?, amcng them Cashier J. Pavaiher,
.eorge Cai penle. . Oollia I. Graves, Kleorga
labeock, Henry S. Coulson and other and
t v Intimidation and threats of taking their
ives and those of their families forceJ
t'..em to leave their claims.
The specific case of Davuaher la 'men
tioned in detail. It Ih charged that Yeast
.lid the other defendants, accompanied by
i band of cowboys visited Davasher'a home
and after threatening hlmtelf and family
rtllh death If they did not leave the coun-
ry, destroyed his home, broke up his
nachlnery, cut his harness to pieces and In
ther ways mistreated him. Luter, accord
ng to the Indictment, Davasher declared
f the men returned he would meet them
with a gun. Yeast, it Is charged, because.
of this remark, swore out a warrant for
Davasher and had him brought into court.
When the Judgo declined to do more than
,iut Davasher under bonds to keep tha
icace, the Indictment states, Yead con
spired with members nf the county Insanity
ooard and secured Davasher incarceration
ii the usyium.
This latter act, according to the Indict
ment, was committed In a high-handed
manner. On announcement of the court
that Davasher had committed no act which
v. ould Justify a jail sentence, Yeast and
Ins attorney secured tho presence of the
insanity commissioners who, It Is alleged,
went throi gh a mock examination, declared
Davasher insanu and i.-sued a warrant for
t,is arrest. This was served on the spot
and within nn hour he was rushed off to
the asylum without being permitted tu have
counsel or stctire a hearing.
Da vn slier rase Probed.
Davasher'a case was brought to the at
tention of the superintendent of the In
stitution, who was , not there when
Davasher arrived. The superintendent,
however. In looking over the commitment
papers, became suspicious and railed In an
txpert and conducted an txamlnatlon into
the case. He at once decided Davasher
