ENDORSES RECALL ' /
J'HONE8T , STRONG AND
7AFT WILL BE RENOMINAT ,
REPUBLICANS REUNITED. "
"WILSON WOULD BE DEFEATED"
He Is "An Abstractionist , a Theorist ,
a School Teacher and Has No Prac
tical Knowledge of Business Affaire -
faire , " Allen Declares.
Madison , Neb. , Feb. 1. Special to
The News : In an interview today for
mer United States Senator William V.
Allen , populist , said :
'As the time Is speedily approach
ing when delegates must be chosen to
the national convention and a candi
date for the presidency bo nominated ,
I think the democratic party ought to
take prompt steps for united and har
monious action , I do not think there
IK any doubt of Mr. Taft't ) renomlna-
lioo and that as soon as that is done
the LaFolletto and Cummins following
will bo roahsorbed OH factors of the
party machine and the words 'stand-
pat , ' and 'progressive' will disappear
from the republican vocabulary.
"If Mr. Tnft shall bo renomlnated
the serious question which will con
front the democratic party will be ,
who can defeat him ? I believe If Wil
son Is nominated he will be defeated
without much effort. Gov. Wilson Is
an abstractionist , a theorist , a school
teacher and has no practical know
ledge of business affairs. Me was born
and educated principally In the south
which would be anginal him as the
time Is not at hand when a distinctive
ly southern man can bo made presi
dent of the United States.
"Tho nominee should come from a
state the electoral vote of which he
will bo able to carry. If Gov. Harmon
should be nominated and a systematic ,
orderly , Intelligent and persistent campaign -
paign made in his behalf , there would
be a reasonable hope of electing him ,
but even then the result might be
doubtful.
"While It is true that the president
1ms made serious mistakes the people
an a rule , regard him as an honest
man and his-strong and manly stand
against the judicial recall would give
him much strength among clear headed
od , conservative and opinion-making
mnn who regard any threatened Invas'
Ion of the constitution as extremely
unwise and dangerous. "
TAFT PLEASED WITH VISIT.

Is More Harmonious.
Pittsburg , Feb. 1. Confident that
his three days' visit was successful

on his way east today.
I have been much gratified , " said
Mr. Taft today , "by the cordiality ol
tlie reception accorded mo by my M-
low citizens of Ohio. The visit has
aroused strength in republican sentl
ment and dispelled erroneous impress
sions that had gone abroad. I enjoyed -
joyed the hospitality of the people ol
Cleveland , Columbus and Akron and
extend to them my thanks for giving
me the opportunity to address them
on broad questions of government in
which we are all so deeply inter
psted. "
The president's car started east

PUBLIC PAYS MORE AND MORE
SINCE TRUST DISSOLUTION.
AUTOMOBILE OWNERS HARD HIT
It Is Estimated that the Increased
Prices Mean an Increased Cost of
200,000 a Month In New York The
Reason Given by Oil Trust.
New York , Feb. 1. Prices of oil
have been going up steadily since the
dissolution of the oil trust by the de
cree of the United States supreme
court , and a representative of the
Standard Oil company said today that
they probably would go higher.
Three times thin year the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey has ad
vanced the price for crude oil , and
there have been corresponding In
creases In the wholesale and retail
quotations for kerosene , gasoline and
others of the refined products.
Hard on Auto Owners.
Gasoline lias risen 2 cents a gallon
in New York markets. Automobile
dealers estimate the aduuico menins
an Increase of more than $ I00,000 ! a
month In the cost of running the an
tomobllcs in New York state.
Since the first of tlie year there has
been an advance of U cents a gallon
In the price established by the Stand
ard Oil company for petroleum deliv
ered by wagon to consumers in this
city. Not only In New York , but else
where throughout the country , , have
prices been raised.
The increased cost of conducting the
thirty-three companies into which the
oil trust was divided , as compared
with the expenses of the compact or
ganization under the old regime , has
been advanced ns a reason for the
raise in prices.
Shortage the Cause.
According to J. I. C. Clarke , the
mouthpiece of the Standard Oil com
pany , this theory is not correct. Mr.
Clarke said that the higher prices
were due to economic conditions. The
Pennsylvania fields , he said , supply
tlie best crude oil , and as the output of
that product recently bad been insuf
ficient , the price of Pennsylvania oil
has been advanced to stimulate pro
duction.
Mr. Clarke said tlie quotation would
bo raised until It reached a point
which restored the production iu tlie
Pennsylvania , field to the required
sis.
TO BRACE UP BRITISH NAVY.
Unexpected Call Is Made on All Ship
Buildera to Tender Bids.
London , Feb. 1. An unexpected call
has been made today on all the ship
builders in the list of constructors for
the Uritish navy to send in tenders for
a new fleet of torpedo boat destroyers
of the most up-to-date type. Each of
the firms has been invited to tender
for three boats.
No provison for the construction of
these craft was innelo in the yard's
naval estimates , but prominent naval
men have several times complained of
the lack in the British navy of fast
seagoing torpedo boat destroyers ca
pable of coping with modern cruisers.

hands since Tuesday. Truskett , whoso
plea has been mental irresponsibility ,
confidently expected an acquittal. Dis
agreement \\as generally predicted.

PEOPLE DEMAND IT.
HE REMOVES ALL DOUBT
No Aspirant or Intriguer , and Would
Take Nomination Only if Unmistak
able Party Call Declares Him the
One Man Needed ,
New York , Feb. 1. "I am not and
shall not be a candidate. I shall not
seek the nomimtlon , nor would I ac
cept It If it came to me as the result
of an intrigue. Hut I will not tie my
hands by a statement which would
make it difficult or impossible for mete
to servo the public by undertaking a
great task , if the people as a whole
seemed definitely to come to the con
clusion that I ought to do that task. "
These actual , literal words are being
said by Theodore Roosevelt today in
letters , in interviews , in statements to
those whom he deems "sincere and
honest supporters or sincere and hon
est opponents. " They are a part of a
remarkable definition of his exact per
sonal position that has been known to
his personal friends for some time.
Makes No Attack on Taft.
In summary the colonel declares him
self willing to take the republican
nomination , although ho might have
much to lose and little to gain in rep
utation by so doing , if the people un
mistakably declare their belief that be
is the man to do the big jobs that face
tlio nation.
He makes no attacks on Mr. Taft.
Indeed , In one statement he is known
to have called the hitter's nomination
"probable. " And he is making it clear
ly evident that he will countenance
neither trickery nor abuse against bis
successor. If the nomination is to
come to himself , he wants it to come
with "clean hands. "
As to the Third Term.
As to the third term argument , Mr.
Roose\elt is saying that he stands by
bis declaration that the second elect
ive term talk is quibble. But he adds
that when a man once leaves the pres
idency the thlid term piecedent does
not operate against ills running again.
The plain and candid definition of
Mr. Hoose\olt's present attitude may
be said to relieve him of the criticism
of those who see him as a poseur or a
trickster in the political position to
day. It will also answer the charge
that he is out seeking by intrigue to
prevent the nomination of Mr. Taft. It
may be called the plain statement of a
public spirited man instead of a poli
tician or schemer.
Personal Inclination Set Aside.
On the ilrst of these Important top
ics the colonel's own words nrf-
"As fur as in me lies. 1 am endeavor
ing to look at this matter purely from
the standpoint of the public interest ,
of the interests of the people as a
whole , and not in the least from my
own standpoint.
To Study Children.
Washington , Feb. 1. After amend

desertion , diseases , accidents , occupa
tions , legislation and kindred subjects.
BUT THEY GO TO WORK.
Arsenal Workmen Object to Taylor
System , but Stick to Jobs.
Davenport , la , , Feb. -Despite the
fact that a committee of thirty-three
men representing the union employes
of the Rock Island arsenal last night
delivered an ultimatum that they
could not work under the proposed
Taylor system , there was no indica
tion of any break in the ranks this
morning. All of the operatives re
sumed their places as if nothing had
happened.
The conference with Col. George W.
Uurr , the commandant of the arsenal ,
resulted In no understanding. The un
ion committeenicn stated that they
had been instructed by their organiza
tion to say they would not work under
the Taylor or any other system of
shop management. They asked Col.
Burr to delay the installation of shop
cards , to which they object , until the
congressional committee investigation
should lie reported. He declined to
do this. The commandant was asked
for an assurance that if the cards were
installed no further steps would be
taken to place the arsenal under the
Taylor system , to which he replied
that he had no authority to make such
a promise. Ho said the use of the
cards would be begun within the next
two or three months.
