Invaders Unable to
Seize New York City;
Maneuvers at an End
MANEUVERS HEADQUARTERS,
NEWTON. Conn . Aug. 18.-Xew York
tonight is still safe from the attack of
the Invaders who for a week have
threatened its capture. - The battle of
Newton, fought yesterday between the
Blue defenders of the city and the at
tacking Red army proved Indecisive, ac
cording to official announcement. With
the failure of the enemy to break through
the Blue lines the maneuvers. In which
30,000 regulars and volunteer soldiers
were engaged, came to an end.
While New York has been saved from
invasion in the present campaign, the
question of whether the city could be
Invested from the land side by a larger
army is a problem for military experts
which . must be worked out in future
maneuvers.
The recall which ended the "war" was
sounded this afternoon Just when the
fight was the hottest, the smoke and dust
the thickest and spectators getting
warmed up to a high pitch of enthusi
asm. The most spectacular clash, of in
fantry, artillery and cavalry was on a
hill behind Newtown's main street, in
full view of a great throng, where the
Blue center had been entrenched.
The hill upon which General Blss, the
chief ' umpire, had made his headquar
ters, was stormed by the Red Infantry
against a rifle fire from trenches and
shrapnel from a battery of field guns.
One feature of the day was the aero
plane scouting of , Lieutenant Foulols,
who left the camp at Stratford, scouted
the Red lines, made a landing at Brew

port, at the headquarters of General

that the Improvement In the chief's con

chances for recovery are , still slim.
Asked whether in his opinion the chiefs
case was hopeless, Dr. Dunn merely re
plied, '-'while there's life, there's hope."
One of the most pathetic features of the
illness of Chief Donahue Is the remark
able courage shown by his wife. Mrs.
Donahue has been at the hospital every
day, putting in aa many hours as pos
sible.; While attending physicians shook
their , heads gravely and hinted that it
wouil be advisable tor the patient to gett
his affairs into shape, Mrs. Donahue has
refused to lose hope. Jwer confidence

VALUATIONS NOT TOO HIGH
. (From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-(8peclal Tel
egram.) Secretary Fisher, of the Inter
ior department, ' today sent a long let
ter to Representative Mondell of Wyom
ing, in which Mr. Fisher takes occas
ion to congratulate the department and
himself on the recent sale of 665 acres
of coal lands In the Kvanston land office
district within a short distance of Rock
Springs, the aggregate sum for the land
being $263,330. This sale according to
Secretary Fisher is. significant as illus
trating the practical effectiveness of the
present policy in the administration of
the . coal land law.
"The charges that you have so often
heard, and indeed have repeated to me,"
says Secretary Fisher, "to the effect
that the valuation of these coal lands
by the government geologist, and the
prices thus established are so excessively
high as to defeat tha purpose of develop
ment and paralyse the coal Industry
of the Rocky : mountain - states, ' Is di
rectly and effectively answered by this
action on the part of . several of your
Wyoming fellow citlzenf.'- These practi
cal men have had this purchase under
consideration for sometime and this sale
Illustrates well certain phases of the
general publlo land policy of today.
"As you know, it , is . the purpose of
this administration to encourage present
day developments of the resources of
the -west so far as that Is attainable
under existing law, and at the same
time to protect future utilization from
the ill effects of present day specula
tive and Industrial waste.
"The purpose in placing moderate val
uation upon the millions of - acres of
coal land still In public ownership is
to make the prices at which these lands
are offered low 'enough to encourage
their acquisition for immediate develop
ment but high enough to prevent pur
chase with no idea of Immediate use.
It" is evident that the Wyoming busi
ness men, who have acquired this sec
tion of coal land expect soon to begin
to realise on their large Investment, an
and that can be attained only , by an
early . beginning of mining operations.
Thus one-, purpose of the pubjlc policy
Is fulfilled."

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. M.-(SpecIal Tele'
gram.) An appropriation for :00,j0 to be
used in stamping out hog chorera is
called for in a bill Introduced by Repre
sentative Sloan today. The secretary of
agriculture Is directed under.lts provisions
to Invite the co-operatton of the various
states under such agencies as the secre
tary may find practicable.
Mr. Sloan has been studying the ques
tion and finds that out of the 1700,000,000
worth of hogs produced by farmers in
this country there is a loss of $18,000,000
through cholera. Incidentally the eradica
tion of the disease would Improve pubUe
health conditions.
"Statistics show," said Mr. 3loai:. "that
$200,000 Is now used annually by various
states In preventing and curing bog
cholera, $16,000 In Nebraska. Twenty-four
states have no sanitary requirements, and

DEMOCRATS NOT AT PEACE-
BOSTON, Aug.' 18.-The progressive
campaign . in Massachusetts waa , opened
yesterday by et-Presldent Roosevelt with
scenes departing from' those traditionally'
associated with a political rally. Some of
those who took part In it compared It
rather to a huge revival camp meeting.
Supporters of the new party gathered
in throngs, sang . hymns and - cheered.
Colonel Roosevelt tho central figure in
It all, made four speeches. He mixed
politics and morals, now exhorting his
hearers to set up a high standard In
publlo and private life, again speaking
bluntly of his conception of political
procedure and criticising his opponents
sharply. . ' .
At each meeting of the progressives
they sang the battle hymn of tha new
party: "Qnward Christian Soldiers."
On one of his speeches Colonel Roose
velt referred to President Taf t , as a
"dead Issue." .
' Colonel Roosevelt had : his hands full
when he arrived at the common, ".The
throng was so great that only a portion
of It eould get within earshot Scattered
through . tha crowd were men who
heckled him as soon as he begun to
speak. They Interrupted him constantly
with questions, and raised such a clamor
that for a time" the colonel was forced
to stop speaking. A police officer asked
him whether he wished to have the men
ejected, but the colonel said he would
handle the crowd. It took half and hour
of hard fighting to bring quiet but in
the end the colonel came off victorious
and finished his speech. He mads a
vigorous defense of George W. Perkins
of New York and William FHnn of Pltts
bugh, two of his leaders.
Offera to Answer Qneetlona.
! At ; the outset Colonel Roosevelt an
nounced he would answer any question
that anybody asked and that nobody
would embarrass him for a minute.
"How about Perkins," a man called
out.': ' ' : ' ' .
: "I'm delighted to, tell you about Mr.
Perkins," the' colonel replied, "I'll satisfy
everybody's thirst for, information."
"Mr. Perkins Is a rich man," said
he. "He came into this movement not
at my request but of his own Initia
tive. I r felt, Just the- same curiosity
that the man in the-crowd who asked
me about him felt. I said to him: 'Per
kins, why- are you supporting mer Mr.
Perkins , flushed and . said he did not
know, but that he ought to be offended.
but I told him he should not be and
that I was '. both surprised and pleased
to .Jutv Ms support. ,
" 'The prims reason why I am with
you,' he told me. Is because I have
children. I have come to tho conclu
sion that this country won't be a good
place for my children unless we have
substantial Justice, unless the relations
between capital and labor are on a bet
tor basis. I wish to support any move
ment which will bring that about' As
far as I can see,' Mr. Perkins told
me, 'you are the only publlo man who
In good faith Is supporting those views."
i(V W . 1.1,1 wm. IU.mIIv wtot Mr
Perkins said. Curiously enough it was
almost exactly what Mr. Fllnn said
to me later. . '..--'.-.
"Mr. Filial and Mr. Perkins have
supported this movement . with the as
surance gtren to ma personally that

(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. Aug. W.-(Speclal.)-The lastt
week has been an Important one from a.'
political standpoint in Nebraska. Tho
first event, the meeting of tho bull moosW
state committee at tho Lindell hotel and
the result thereof, the turning down of
F. P. Corrick for state chairman, after
he had spent his days and nights nourish
ing tho Roosevelt movement which,,
caused tho split In the republican state
convention, has been the principal toplo
of discussion.
Corrick lays his defeat at the door of
Governor Aldrich and his appointees, who
held positions ss committeemen on tha
stats committee. The governor denies
any knowledge of any put-up Job against
Corrick, but tha latter points to the fact
that tha three appointees of the governor
on the , stats . committee. Oil Inspector
Husenetter,' Deputy Oil Inspector Schoog.
over and John O. Tetser of tho pardoning
board, were against him and that one
of them led the tight
Hoist By Own Petard.
It seems to have been tbo Irony of I
fate that tho man who engineered thai
deal which resulted In the split In tha'
republican party," tha man who fixed up i
tho political steam roller, oiled Its every
bearing and adjusted its throttle so It'
would respond to tho slightest tonob of
the chairman of tha convention In hla!
efforts to run the roller over tha Taftj
republicans, should himself-be flattened
out by the same maohlne he had doctored '
so lovingly, and, according to his own!
statement by ' the same hand that ma-' '
nlpulated the throttle at his bidding. It'
was only necessary to touch the reverse'
lever, so easily did it respond to Its ma
nipulator, and the man who had won!
the victory tor the enemies of the na-i
Uonal republican ticket went down a!
victim of t same machine be had. built !
for the destruction of others. - ,
MooSers Worrying. ,
What the outcome of tha Split between
Mr. Corrick and Governor Aldrlcn will be
It is hard to determine. Tho fact stands
out boldly , that Governor Aldrich and;
others who 'were so' pleased to see tho
Taft republicans leave the state conven
tion, have since seen the error they mode,
and have been trying to do something to
counteract their mistake. . The election of
Judge Epperson Is the first step In an ef
fort to undo what they now admit never
should navs been done. V
In order to carry out tha plana of rec
onciliation It was nocesary to get Cor- ;
rick out of the way. I did not matter
