New York Chairman Brines Im

Colonel Roosevelt Intimates that He
May Mare Something; to Bay at
Its Conclalen Starts West
Jfext Week.
OYSTER i BAY. . Auk. li-Moyd C.
Or loco m. chairman of the - New York
county 'republican' committee, arrivel early
today from New York and proceeded di
rectly to Sagamore Hill. Mr. Orlscom re
fused to discuss the subject of the con
ference which he Is to have with Colonel
RooJev.elt, but it Is known he Is th boarer
of an important message from President
Taft, with whom he visited at Beverly,
Mrs., Saturday night
Colonel Roonevelt intimated he might
have something to 'ay at the conclusion of
tha'i conference.
It Is generally believed Mr. Grlscora took
to Colonol Roosevelt an urgent message
looking toward harmony between all ele
ments of the party In the fall campaign.
On Colonel Roosevelt's reply. It is believed,
will depend In ' great measure tho future
retatlona between th president and th
ex-president. .
Sunday night the colonel would add
nothing to the bar announcement that
Mr. Orlscora . was to com. except
to say that he had read - with
The colonel would add nothing to the bare
announcement that Mr. Grlacom was to
com, except to say that he had read with
rare interest the dispatches from Beverly,
Intimating that the president is expecting
Secretary Balllnger to resign, and that
Senator Aldrlch and Speaker Cannon In
the future are to be in less direct contact
with the administration. Ho refused to
give his views on this subject or to say
whether the message which Mr. Orlscom
bears constitutes another step In the ad
ministration program for readjusting con
ditions within th party, it is believed
here, - however, that as a result of Mr.
Qriseom's visit the exact relations between
the president and the ex-president will be
more clearly defined even though no public
announcement be made.
Said Nothing; of Administration.
Since Colonel Roosevelt returned from
Africa he has resolutely avoided placing
himself on reord in regard to the. Taft ad
ministration. He has setn the president
only once, and then for a comparatively
short time, during his visit to Boston for
the Harvard commencement So far as Is
known no messages have passed between
them during that time' and It is believed
President Taft decided to ascertain where
his predecessor stands, particularly In view
of the national campaign which Is soon to
get under way.
Colonel Roosevelt's western trip Is to
start on Tuesday of next week.. During the
trip it Is expected that he will place him
self on record In regard to a number of
matters of great interest to the country
and the republican party. One of them will
he the conservation of national resources
which has been lb subject of so much
discussion during the months which Pres
ident Taft has been In the White House.
While It is .believed that Colonel Roose
velt will not have one, word of criticism
of the administration in -any of these
speeches, ther is, good ground for the as
sumption that he will not;depart from the
vigorous stanfe fof conservation which he
assumed while, he was president Whatever
may be the tenor of Mr. UriBcom's message
from the president it; may be said that
Colonel Roosevelt will' proceed with the
program which It is known h has mapped
out ior nimncir. -
Colonel Roosevelt also, announced today
that he had decided on a third long trip,
Starting some , time In March he will go
from coast to coast on a trip which will
occupy about pue month. Th colonel said
today that while he was in Africa eight
months ago, he had accepted an Invitation
from Dr. Benjamin Ida Wheeler, president
of the University of California, to speak at
the university on charter day next March.
He will go by th southern route. Only one
other speeoh has been deflnltedly settled
on at the Southern Commercial congress in
Atlanta, which will be made In March on
the westward trip.
' trom Atlanta, colons) Roosevelt will
travel through th south, making on
speech in each state which he traverses.
He probably will make a short stop at th
Texas ranch of Cecil Lyon, republican na
tional committeeman, who Is an old friend,
The return from California in all probabil
ity will be via th northern route. The
exact time of the trip and the places at
'which speeches will be mad have not been
decided upon.

THREATENS FOUR JUDGES
Anonymous Letter Says New York
Jurists Will Be Killed Soon.
WRITER A DISCHARGED CONVICT
8a lie Was Convicted of Crime of
Which He is Innocent and that
He Cannot Find Ills Wife
and Child.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-A letter In which
the writer threatens death to several judges
in this city and Brooklyn and several as
sistant district attorneys was received at
the district attorney's office today and
turned over to the police tor investigation.
The letter was addressed to District At
torney Whitman and was as follows:
"I am now a free man after a three years'
sentence In King Sing, along with three
others whom 1 have made friends. We have
decided to deal out a death sentence to
Judge O'Sullivan, Judge Malone, Judge
Fawoett Judge Rosaisky, District Attorneys
Ely, Hart and two others, for our lives
are not worth living. I cannot locate my
wife and child. I waa charged with grand
larceny and as sure as Qod is in heaven I
was Innocent and I am also sure that many
a man li state's prison Is Innocent.
"The day is not far when soma of tha
above mentioned names will be a thing of
the pas. This may be taken as a Joke,
but wait for results. It Is a disgrace to the
world to see a married man taken from
his famly just because certain people go
to the district attorney and' swear they
were swindled."
Secretary of State Threatened.
ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 15.-A letter
threatening him with "What Gaynor got'.'
and signed by the "Chauffeurs' Black
Hand Qang," was received today by Sec
retary of State Samuel 8. Koenlg.
The letter, which was evidently written
by a chauffeur who had failed to pass
the examination required under th new
Callan automobile law, was mailed from
New York City on Saturday. It declared
that chauffeurs who were working at the
tlm th Callan law became effective
should have been exempted from examina
tion, the same as owners of cars, but that
as It is many married men have been
thrown out of employment by falling to
pass. ,
"The best thing you can do," concluded
th letter, "is to break the law and let the
old chauffeura go through without exam
ination. If not, yo- will get not what
Gaynor got, but something which will
send you to your grave. It this new law
is not changed in one week's time you can
prepare for your grave."
Appended to the signature Is the drawing
of a large stiletto. Two similar letters
were received by Secretary Koenlg from
New York City about a week ago. In one
of them the Uvea of Governor Hughes,
Secretary Koenlg and Assemblyman Callan,
outhor of th automobile law, were
threatened.

Aviation Meets
in France Have
Caused Big Loss
Promoters Get Small ' Crowds to
Watch High-Salaried Men Per
form in the Air. .
PARIS. Aug. 15. The failure of most of
the aviation meetings this summer has
proved a great disappointment to pro
moters. .After the .tremendous success of
the great meeting at Rhelms last year
hundreds of meeting werebrganlsed In
every country In Europe and even In
Egypt. Beginning with the winter meets
along the Riverla, these meetings have continued-week
after week In almost every
large city In France. In almost every case
the results for th promoters have been
disastrous. ...
Even Rhelms, with the prestige of last
year and a 'long series of broken records
this summer, was a financial failure, the
loss totaling $W.00. Those identified with
aviation place the blame upon the spirit
of-commercialism with which aeroplanlng
is being exploited. Aeroplane flights made
such a vivid appeal to the Imagination that
promoters hung up enormous purse and
paid fabulous sums to secure the presence
of the few French cracks whose exploits
had astonished the world. Men Ilk Paul
ham, who fourteen months ago had earned
$25 a month as . mechanicians, suddenly
began demanding and getting from $15,000
to $2o,000. Every pilot, whether experienced
or not, wanted to excel, his rival In sensa
tional exploits In order to get more money,
and that was the cause of several of the
fatal accidents which have . marred the
meetings. ,
The Impression in France is that next
year there will not be on meeting where
there were thirty this year. Those Inter
ested In. the real development of aviation,
however, believe this will be an advantage
rather . than a drawback. It wlli, they
think, tend to check the recklessness of
professionals and compel manufacturers to
devote themselves to the perfection of their
machines.
