NO CONFIDENCE IN TEDDT
Iryan Can't Get Elected and Pro
Democrats are Headed for Ranki
Of the Dries.
New York, Feb, 80.—Charles R.
Jones, chairman of the prohibition
national committee, Is In Newf York
on his way to New England, where he
will visit a number of places in the
interest of his party. He said in an
interview that President Roosevelt
has lost the confidence of of prohibi-
tionists because he had not arrayed
the powers of the government against
liquor. Bryan has no chance for the
election to the presidency and Taft
no chance for the republican nomina-
tion. becauae they are not in sym-
pathy with the prohibition move-
ment. Mr. Jones li enthusiastic over
the rapid growth of the prohibition
sentiment. He laid:
"We have gained six' prohibition
states in the last year; we had three
already. In two more years we ex-
pect ten mor* and soon afterwards
twelve others. The party convention
will be held on July 15 at Columbus,
Ohio. There w|ll be 1,611 delegates
the apportionment being based on the
party vote of 1S04. The New York
delegates will number 108.
"The prohibition party .will make
u great showing in this pampalgn.
Prohibition is so strong in the South
that there is even a slight chance that
the democrats will adopt a prohlbl-
tioii plauk. If they do not, no pro-
V'Air democrat will aupport their
caMMate.
"New York is the worst state we
have to handle, and this city, next
to Chicago is the wont"
Bob Henry Calls Boutell Down.
Washington, Feb. 10.—Mr. Henry
of Texas challenged Mr. Boutell of II-
linols to prove that his panegyric of
Speaker Cannon yesterday Was made
up of substance and not merely of
words.
Mr. Boutell, In making a campaign
speech for Mr. Cannon, extolled him
as a particular friend of the laboring
man, Mr. Henry called attention to
the failure of several bills demanded
by the laboring man, the failure be-
ing due to the refusal of the speaker
to permit consideration of them.
Mr. Henry told Mr. Boutell that If
he could persuade the speaker to give
consideration to these bills demanded
by the laboring men, he would prom-
ise him every vote on the democratic
side for their passage.
"The Helmet of Navarre."
San Antonio, Feb. 20.—One of the
interesting novels of this year will be
the forthcoming work of Mrs. Captain
Bash of Fort Sam Houston, who as
Miss Bertha Runkle won literary
fame as the author of "The Helmet of
Navarre" and other works of fiction.
The new novel will have Its locale In
San Antonio and will contain thril-
ling accounts of some of the stirring
historical events of which this city
has been the scene. No city In Amer-
ica has sucti an atmosphere of ro-
mance or more interesting relics of
the heroic struggle for liberty, that
in America began with the revolu-
tion and ended with the fall of the
Alamo and the victory of Ean Jacinto
Mrs. Bash is a charming young wo-
man, and a great social favorite here.
Her husband made a reputation In
the .Philippines, and is now chief
comissary officer.
harry amd evelyi
kay be divorced.
New York, Feb. 10.—Renewed ru-
mors to the effect that the family of
Harry Kendal Thaw has at rated a
movement to bring about a legal sep-
aration between the slayer of Stan-
ford White and the woman In the
case, are attracting-considerable at-
tention right now. It Js reported that
papers asking for a legal separation
will be filed In a few days.
Report s^eagree, as.to whether the
family of Thaw will ask;,tor an an-
nulment of the *arrla«fe or for a
straight divorce, 'i
ft Is known now and . has been
known for afmie time, that the en-
tire Thaw family, with the possible
exception of Harry; Is hostile to Ev-
elyn. and Is extremely hostile, but
because an appearance had to be
maintained, no exhibition of this feel-
ing was permitted up to the time the
trial ended.
As Mrs. William Thaw, mother of
Harry, engineered ail the details of
the marriage between Harry and
Evelyn, 4s hard to see how Insanity
can be argued as a ground tor annul-
ling the marriage.
Mrs. Wtlliam Thaw, in an inter-
view, is quoted as saying she has
told Harry he must divorce Evelyn. It
is said Evelyn Is willing to be di-
vorced, providing the settlement Is
sufficient.
