Britain's Position on the

LONDON. Aug II. (Special Cablegram.)
Elihu Root's brilliant summing up for the
UnlleU States in the North Atlantio flsher
lea arbitration at The Hague, confirms the
conclusion already formed by a majority of
Impartial observers who have followed the
discussion, that the decision will be In the
main favorable to the American conten
tions. Many Dutch, Belgian, German and French
Jurists who heard all the arguments in
the cas since Sir Robert Flnlay, on behalf
of Canada and New Foundland opened early
la June, take this view.
Though the arbitrators have two months
after the close of Mr. Root's speech before
they need render their decision, It Is be
.Jleved they will reach one somewhat
sooner.
At the outset they confessed to having
tudled the case for a "conslderal period,"
though careful to disclaim the formation of
any definite Judgment.
Great Amount of Work.
There has teen an enormous multiplicity
cf detail and the task originally confront
ing the arbitrators and counsel probably
.wns the most onerous of Its kind ever laid
before a body having quasi Judicial func
tions. But. In the language of former Sen
ator George Turner. It has proved "a mere
bagatelle compared with the catastrophe
thus happily averted."
Fifteen hundred documents were laid be
fore the tribunal, exclusive of briefs. The
most elaborate of the latter were filed by
Charlea B. Warren of Detroit, who cov
ered In this way what he would have needed
a day and a half to deal with orally. Mr.
Warren spoke for three and a half days.
Mr. Turner's address, coming first on the
American aide and following the peculiarly
benevolent manner of Flndlay. who apoke
for thirty-three hours with scarcely a varia
tion In emphasis, was all the more grate
ful to the tribunal because of the humor
with which it was dashed. His (banker was
especially enjoyed by the Austrian president
f the tribunal, Prof. Lemmaseh., -

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-(Special Tele
gjrarn.) The mere Intimation on the part
of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt that he de
sires to be a delegate to the republican
state convention from Nassau county will
be enough to Insure his election as a dele
gate. From there his election aa chairman
of the convention will be but one step and
It Is practically certain that he will bo
seleoted. He may even be made permanent
chairman, although the talk Is that he
shall be made temporary chairman, with
tha opportunity to outline his views before
the convention gets down to business.
Charles F. Lewis, republican county chair
man of Nassau county, wka asked today
concerning the report that Colonel Roose
velt had been quoted as quite willing to
attend the convention as a delegate It the
county wanted to send him, and said:
"If Colonel Roosevelt wishes to go to the
convention I would be very glad to see
that he Is sent from this county as a dele
gate. However, I have no direct knowl
edge of the fact that ha would bo willing
to serve. The presence of Colonel Roose
velt In the convention would count for
much, for then it Is practically certain
that the organization throughout the state
could be harmonized and sucoess for the

NEW TORK. Aug.- 14. (Special Tele
gram.) The assault on Mayor Gaynor has
renewed with added force the Interest In
the. question of how public men may best
be protected from the murderous attack
cf cranks like Gulteau, Csolgos, Prender
gast and GallaghcV.
No three men In the country are better
qualified to discuss this vital question
than Chief Wllkle of the United States
secret service; William J. Flynn, In charge
of the eastern division of the secret serv
ice, who looks after the president when
In this section, and former Chief of Se
cret Service ,A. L. Drummond. Here Is
what they say; '
Chief Wilkie "Past experiences have
shown me that to safeguard the lives of
our public officials, whether national or
state, we have to be eternally on the watch
for the unexpected. So long as there are
publlo officials, It ' will be -necessary to
"There are many views as to how
He officials should be guarded, but. In gen
eral, all persons who have to do with the
safekeeping "of the lives of officials agree
that a small guard constantly on the alert
and always with the official la the best
method. This plan' sometimes falls.
"Of course, circumstances have much to
do with the method adopted; the conditions
of the minds of the various classes In the
different parts of the country must gov
ern methods to a large extent.'
"It Is necessary to guard public officials
against attack, and the only practical
method is to be constantly on the alert
Eternal vigilance must be the watch
word." ' ' Mnst Guard Officials.
Chief William J. Flynn "If Mayor Gay
nor had been properly guarded last Tues
day morning he would not have been snot
"If a publlo official Is properly guarded
no man can come up behind him and shoot
htm in the back. It is a difficult matter
to protect a man from being shot at from
a distance, but guards who understand
their . work, can easily prevent aft vU
aoer'trSm' getting close enough "to hla in
tended victim to shoot him "the way Galla
gher shot the mayor. If Mayor Gaynor
had had any- guards around him the shoot
ing would have been' Impossible, unless
they had been, inexcusably negligent.
"There is no denying the fact that if a
desperate man wants to kill a publlo offi
cial by means . of . firearms it Is almost
Impossible to prevent 'It if the assassin be
a good shot . But if a public official is
well guarded it lessens . even that danger
to a considerable extent ,
"Most publlo officials have such confi
dence in their followmen that they don't
take any steps to protect themselves by
.surrounding, themselves with .. guards. I
understand Mayor Gaynor disliked to
have a guard near him, and many public
men share his feelings. Of' course, the
secret .service department has nothing to
do with guarding the mayor of New York
the only person we are authorised to pro
tect Is the president of the United States
but It seems to me the mayor ahould be
guarded, even if he doesn't want It Any
way, his back should never have been
left unprotected.
Hnnt for Weapons.
."If President Taft had been sailing in
stead of Mayor Gaynor there would have
been a secret service man behind him, and
he would not have permitted Gallagher, a
stranger,' to ' come near him.' When a
stranger geta anywhere near the president
one of his guards runs his hands up and
down his clothes and If he feels a big
lump that might be a revolver he is taken
care ef then and there. A man with a re
volver or any weapon has no business
near tho president
"When Theodore Roosevelt was president
he was always carefully guarded, but I don't
mind saying he wouldhave been more than a
match for any assassin if he had been given

WOMAN BURNED TO DEAT11
pub--jMr' Jcssi8 Connors of Omaha Victim
of Kerosene Explosion.
WAS POURING OIL INTO A STOVE
Accident Occurs In - Presence of
Parents and Family Barns So
Seyere Mrs. Connors Lived
Only Short Time.
Writhing In agony, with her entire body
burnt almost to a -crisp, Mrs, I Jessie Con
nors of 2122 North Twenty-sixth street died
at St. Joseph's hospital yesterday morning
shortly before noon. .' She waa the victim of
a kerosene explosion at her home.
The accident happened at tM o'clock,
when Mrs. Connors, wanting to 'burn some
papers in a coal stove, started to pour
kerosene oq ' them. It is supposed ' there
was a hot coal in the grate which Ignited
the oil, causing the cswi which ahe was
holding to explode, covering her whole body
wltb Mnni-iwiU -V , .
The mother of UM deeeaeed woman,1 Mrs.
Anna L. - Blaln; her sister, Mrs. .Frank
Berry, and lier father, F. M. Blain, a man
of ,71 years,-were all in the kitchen at the'
time of the tragedy. The burning oil was
thrown .over . the entire room, ' -setting it
ablaze, but In a miraculous manner the
terrified witnesses were untouched-. -Screaming
with pain, Mrs. -Condors' ran
to her bedroom, where- she attempted to
extinguish the flames by rolling on ' her
bed. The horrified members of the family
went to her assistance and tore the burning
clothing from off her. . Her brother, J. J.
Blaln, hearing her cries, rushed fronr an
other part of tha house and succeeded in
wrapping her in a mattress and smothering
the fire.
Police Surgeon Loveland was summoned
and she was immediately taken to St. Jo
seph's hospital, where she - lingered ' be
tween life- and death until nearly noon.
Dr. T. T. Harris, who also attended her,
said that her burns were the most horrible
he had -ever witnessed. - Hardly a portion
of her body was untouched.
In endeavoring to aid his daughter Mr.
Blaln was severely burned on the left
hand. None of the other members of the
family were injured, though in getting to
Mrs. Connors- her sister, Mrs. Berry, was
compelled to run through the flames and
to escape them her mother, Mrs.- Blaln, had
to pass behind the stove, which was ablase.
Hftxed Oils the Cause.
The reason for the explosion being' as
terrific as It was may possibly be due to
gasoline hi the oil. It seems that, about
two weeks ago, .by some mistake, kero
sene waa poured into the tank of the gas
oline stove. It was discovered Immedi
ately, however, and withdrawn, but not
destroyed, being placed In a glass fruit
jar and put on the pantry shelf. Upon In
vestigation after the accident yesterday the
Jar was found missing, and the members
of the family believe it may be possible
the gasoline had been poured Into the can,
though no one knows of that being the
case.
Thomas Connors, husband of the de
ceased woman, and their 8-year-old daugh
ter, Virginia, survive Mrs.- Connors. Mr.
Connors is an Iron, molder and Is employed
at the Omaha foundry. For some time
past the Connors have been living at the
home of her mother, where the accident
occurred yesterday.
Mrs. Connors was 21 years old and was
born in Omaha. Her father, Mr. Blaln, la
one of Omaha's older residents.

PLIGHT OF W0RR1SG GIRL
Mrs. Bobbins Compares the Condi
tions in East and West.
WAGES ALTOGETHER TOO LOW
Only Remedy la Trades Unionism, the
Ballot and Teaching- Women to
- Think and Act for Them
selves. NEW YORK!, Aug.. 14.-(Special Tele
gram.) The condition of the working girl
In , the west Is much better than that of
her sister In tho east, so said Mrs. Ray
mond Robblns, president of the Woman's
National Trades Union league, who has an
Intimate knowledge of the subject on which
she speaks, through her long study of In
dustrial problems .and a broad sympathy
for her less fortunate sisters.
"Few of the girls in the west start to
work at the ages of 12 and 13 years, as
they do horav.' she. said - . -?.
"-"We nfcve'ctn1 child labor problems, but
none like you, have. The girl workers of
your city belong to the second and third
gereratlon a t,sneratlon of whlrh the
mother & have been ground down by - ma
chine labor. In the west the sapping pro
cess has not got beyond the first genera
tion. In Consequence the women workers
of the west have more vitality.
"If Immigration to this country sho-ild
be shut off, suddenly'," she continued, "It
would only be a short time before we wou'rt
feel our great physical loss. The strong
peasant women comes over here and trans
mits her' strength to her children and that
Is why our "- girl workers have ' more vi
tality than yours, for it is In the wet
that the peasantry of Europe settles. But
I believe, we are at the turn of the tide. I
think better, times are coming for our
women workers. The question is whether
the .Intelligent women of our country will
Join wjth us t6 make the tide rise higher
apd hurryVon that better day."
, Wealthy Shoppers.
' Mrs.' Robblns said of the wealthy women
who trade in the shopst
"They are stupid. I don't mean naturally
stupid. ' They are surrounded by a high
wall over which they cannot look and to
the top of which they cannot climb. It Is
there women we want to teacb. " It Isn't
thst they have a lack of sympathy or that
they-wouldn't help if they knew, for 1
think they would."
Mrs. Robblns said that In' Europe more
was done for the girl workers than In this
country. In several foreign countries, she
declared, the hours of labor were properly
apportioned so that there were eleven hours
of rest between working days and greater
attention was paid to such matters as
sanitation. ,'. '
"The average wage of the woman worker
is 1270 a, year," she said, "and you must
remember that average means below, as
well as above. In the textile industrv
something like two-thirds of the worker
are getting 14 a week. Deduct room rent
and the. price' of meals from 16 a week and
what nave you left?
' "Is it not very difficult for a girl to lead
an honest life under such conditions?" Mrs.
Bobbins was asked.
' ."Yes, and the marvel Is that so many
thousands of them are good women, as I
know they are." replied Mrs. Robblns.
"Why, I have known girls to live on
nothing but rye bread and olive oil in
order to scrape together enough money to
buy a new hat or a new dress."
"What Is the remedy for such a condi
tion of affaire T"
"One remedy Is trades unionism. Organ
ise the women and teach them to think and
act. Another Is the ballot I am an ardent
suffragist Everybody Is who ever tried
to do anything for women workers."

HITCHCOCK OUT FOR DAHLMAN
Takes Decisive Me: nt German Meet

Shallenbrrwer Men Have In

(From a Staff Coi respondent.)
LINCOLN, Autf. 14. (Special.) The
dirty, character - destroying campaign
KBged agulnft W 111 Hay ward by the W 11-
.lama-VYlaiuerly-HarrUoti combination in
the Interest of George K. Tob?y. candidate
tor congress In this district, has reacted
and today many republicans who like de
cency In politics have notified Mr. Hay
ward that they are for him and will work
fur him at tho polls. Hven tho Lincoln
Star, which lias .said many unkind things
about Hayward, has come to the conclu
sion that the opposition to htm is even
too rotten for it 10 endorse and this morn
ing the paper practically camo out for his
nomination.
Tobey is held equally guilty with, his
chief adviser, Frank Harrison, for the dis
graceful campaign that his friends have
waged agaiiiHt Hayward, and tse fact that
he, according to Harrison's own state
ment, Is merely his puppet in this fight
to be ' yanked off tho track whenever It
pleases the editor of the Capital, has cre
ated a sentiment that decent republicans
over the district will go to the polls and
work and vote for Hayward. Republicans
have not lost sight of the fact that Hay
ward on two occasions gave of his time
and talent as chairman of the state com
mittee to elect republican candidates in
this state and thai, in season and out of
season, he has worked all his life for t.ie
success of republican principles regardless
of tho personality of candidates, while both
Tobey and Harrison have been political
pap-suckers and when not pap-sucke.-s
nave been trying to get to the trough.
Will Hayward's exposure of Harrison
and his friends has resulted In keeping
many republicans ,in line who otherwise
were half periuaded to vote for Mayor
Dahlman. A lot of these men intended t-
vote for Dahlman because of their oppo
sition to county option, but they have been
telling Hayward that he Is too good a roan
to be sacrificed on the altar of .falsehood.

In the republican primary. , -...-
Hitchcock tor Dahlman.
Goadud tcfdesperatlon by tho fear of de-
f-at at the hands of the Metcalfe-Shallen-berger
alliance, Gilbert M. Hitchcock, dem
ocratic candidate for United States sena
tor, who has heretofore refrained from tak
ing sides in the gubenatorlul contest,
burned his bridges behind him last, night
and attempted to get into' the ' Dahlman
camp at a German meeting held here.
Thus Hitchcock's break with Shallen--
berger is complete anil he will seek Dahl
man votea wherever he can get them,
though friends of both ' men know the
nomination of two Omaha men on the
ticket means certain defeat. Down here
many of the Dahhnan supporters are
boosting Mctcalfo for the senate, because
they know that Metcalfe s nomination
means the support of Bryan for the ticket
In the fall election, so there has been re
sentment expressed at the appearance of
the Omaha editor last night
Hitchcock's eleventh-hour effort to get
In with the Dahlman followers here is
taken to mean that he realizes that friends
of Bhallenberger expect to vote the
Btralght Metcalfe-Shallenberger ticket and
for that reason h Is trying to get out the
Impression that he is aligned with Mayor
Dahlman, regardless of the silence of hla
paper. His friends believe here Hitch
cock's only hope is to secure support from
Dahlman and at the same time they are
certain that friends of the mayor who do
not vote for Metcalfe will vote for Willis
B. Reed. Nominees from Omaha and Lin
coln, tliey say, would be tha strongest
combination and next to that Omaha and
Madison looks good to them, but few, If
any, have expressed tnemseives lor two
candidates from Omaha for the highest
offices within the gift of the people of the
state.
Closing; Fight In Omaha.
Considerable, interest attaches to tho
closing twiches of the campaign In
Omaha. jither Oovernor Shallenberger,
Metcalfe nor Hitchcock will be In the big
city, thus leaving a clear field to Mayor
Dahlman and his good friend Willis E.
Reed. Metcalfe will stay in Lincoln and
Governor Shallenberger is going to ad
dress a meeting at Seward. Hitchcock will
be out of Omaha. Hitchcock will not be In
the city and thus will be saved the em
barrasment of declaring himself for either
Dahlman or Shallenberger before an'
Omaha audience.
In the meantime lieutenants of Oovernor
Shallenberger say that he Is going to de
feat Dahlman hands down and the predic
tion was made by one of them who has
done some work In Douglas county that
the governor will carry South Omaha. An
other said the governor's South Oman
vote would be so close to Dahlman that
they could not be told apart. ,
But all these predictions were made be
fore Felix Newton arrived on . the scene.
Like the hero of old. Felix showed up
brown and unbiirned at the psychological
moment with his bristles sticking straight
up, ready for' the fray. He In one sup
porter whom Governor Shallenberger had
two years ago that is against htm now.
