THE VICE PRESIDENCY. Interesting Possibilities Should Sher- man Withdraw from Ticket. ‘Washington, Oct. 28.—The illness of Vice President Sherman and specula- tion over the possibilities of his with- drawal from the republican ticket be- cause of the precarious condition of his health, aroused discussion here toduy over the probable methods of filling his place, ‘The general opinion expressed was that the republican national commit- tee or the executive committee pos- sessed pow to flll a vacancy upon the ticket. No one here professes to know whether the Chicago convention specificalty provided for such an emergency. The report of the 1908 | convention does not appear to show | that such a provision was made then | and the stenographic report of the con- vention this year has not yet been printed. Should a vacancy occur upon the re- publican ticket either before or after election some republican leaders here today argued the electors would have power 1o vote for any candidate for vice president they might choose. Precedents were admitted to be lack- ing, but it was declared that only par- ty discipline and honor had in the past bound electors to vote for their party nominees one suggested, however, that 4 choice by the repub- li#an nationai committee or its execu- tive committes would fail to receive the support of the Taft electors, Ordinarily, should there be no vice president, the president pro tem. of the senate would preside over that body and the line of succession to the presidency would be to the secre- tary of state. For the last several months, however, the present senate has been unable to agree upon a pres- ident pro tem. and the office has been vacant. Some time ago. It was learned to- Chairman Charles D. Hilles of the republican national committee made exhaustive inquiries as to the necessity of certifying to the various aecretaries of states the names of the republican candidates and as a result certified the names of Taft and Sher- man for printing upon ballots in all states.

Instinctively held out his right hand, His twitched with pain which he sought to conceal and he thrust his hand into the pocket of his riding coat and put out his left. “I 't much use of my right fist, yel e exclaimed. ‘T'm feeling sur- prisingly well, but I suppose there are always some small complications. The chest muscles on the right side are sore, The broken rib seems to have knitted and I feel no pain from it unless I breathe deeply.” Colonel Roosevelt said he felt well enough to make his speech in Madigon Square len, New York, on Wedn®s t and that if he found he suffered no serious éffects from the trip he might make a few,other speeches before election day. The hardest problem, he sald, was to keep out of the crowds, for he was in no condition to get into the struggling masses of people which often surround him on his campaign frips, seeking to shake hands with him. Precautions are being taken to keep him out of the crowd in Madison Square garden. “Some perfectly well meaning per- sons,” he said, “might think that it was the psychological moment to shake hands and thump me on the right side” He placed his hand over his wound to indicate the spot he meant, and added. "That might make it difficult for me to resist the im- pulse to turn anarchist myself.” His plans for the remainder of the campaign depend upon the outcome of Wednesday night's journey to New York. “T'll see how it goes there,” he said. “If I get through that all right T'll make & few more speeches.” Next Monday, the day before elec- tion, Colonel Roosevelt hopes to be able to speak in the neighboring towns of ‘Mineola and Huntington, in fulfil- ment of a promise which he made early in the campaign to devote the last days to his home county of Nas- sau, “I want to keep that promise,” he said, “and in the evening I shall speak in_the village.” He referred to Oyster Bay, as plans have been under way here for some time for the colomel'’s speech on the eve of election. 'Today’s mail brought Colonel Roose- velt more than 1,000 letters and 300 telegrams. Most of them were mes- sages of congratulation for his birth- day, or of his recovery from the bullet wound.

Special Troop Train and Canadian Pa- cific Engine in Collision. Toronto, Oct. 28.—Two soldiers of the Toronto garrison were killed, two probably fatally injured and 37 oth- ers badly hurt when a train which was returning with troops from sham battles at Milton was wrecked near Streetsville Junction, 22 miles west of this city, early eonight. The spgaial troop train erashed into e?: engine of the Canadian aPcific ress for Detroit, which was just moving from Streetsville Jnnw‘n after taking wa- ter. The foree“of the impact lifted the heavy baggage car of the triips train fromp its trucks and it shot back into the first of six passenger coaches ia which the soldiers were crowded. The walls of the baggage car envel- oped the light coach behind and its heavy floor plunging just above that of the passenger coach cut a swath of death and injury among the sol- diers. The rear of the bagage car ‘was driven about three-quarters the length of the passenger coach. For that distance all seats were swept away in an instant and the men who occupled thém were swept back with them and jammed in a mass against the bulkhead of the car. The two men who were killed were ground to deat between the floors of the tele~ scoping cars. The victims were Private Murdock McKenzie of the 48th Highlanders and Private A. Sinclair of the Queen's Own Rifles.

MacDonald, whom he referred as ‘“our lord high commissioner,” and discussed the mat- ter of campaign contributions. FIVE YEARS FOR ROBBING J.

NICARAGUA REBELS . HAD A MOLL PITCHER Her Dead Body Found With Hands Clufching One-Pound Shell. New York, Oct. 28.—When the Am- erican marines on October 4 charged up and captured Coyatepe Hill, near Masaya, Nicaragua, after having raked the insurgent position with their batteries of rapid fire guns, lying among the dead rebels was a Nicar- aguan woman—a modern Molly Pitch- er.

THREAT BY ACCUSED Intimates That Trial May Bring Out Startling Police Disclosur:s—Four Children Testify Against Defendant. New Haven, Comn, Oct. 25.—After an all-day eession, the hearing which began this morning in the case of for- mer Patrolman John F. Greene, Jr, who is charged with having committed an assault upon 15 vear old Ella Blau in this city on May 25 last, was ad- journed this afternoon until Wednes- aay morning. Four witnesses were put on by the state during the day, the chief of them being the Blau girl. The proceedings are being held before Judge Walter H. Clark of Hartford in the superiof court room. Owing to the nature of the case, instructions were given by the court that only persons who had business at the hearing should be admitted, and as a result a large ‘crowd which had sought entrance was turned away. ¥ Girl Tells Her Story. The Blau girl told in detail of being accosted by a policeman in uniform while on the street with a girl friend, of being lifted up by the officer, Who remarked that she was “nice and fat, of being taken down the street under pretense of going to the police station, and of being taken into a yard and shed, where it is charged the assault was committed. Afterwards she wis subjected to a rigid cross-examination by counsel for the defense, but was unshaken in her testimony. She also told of having previously identified Green as the policeman who commit- ted the assault and again today so identified him. When the proceedings were begun Greene was put to plea and in a firm voice pleaded “not guilty.”, The Blau girl was the first witness called and was on the stand practi- cally the whole morning and a good part of the afternoon. Three Children as Witnesses. The second witness was Elizabeth Allen, a girl about the same age as the Blau girl. She testified to being with Miss Blau when the officer spoke to them. She also idertified Greene as the man with whom the Blau girl had gone down the street. - Flgrence McManus testified to seeing the Blau girl and the officer on the street together. Harry Schatzman, a young boy, tes- tified to seeing from a window in Yaie hall, on Franklin street, a policeman and girl in a shed near by. It is in this shed the alleged assauit is said to have taken place. Greene Makes Insinuation. ‘When adjournment was taken the state announced that it had eleven more witnesses to call. Considerable interest has been arcused by the case by reason of the fact that Greene has intimated that his trial may bring out police disclos- ures of a startling nature. e MOST POWERFUL WIRELESS STATION IN THE WORLD One at Arlington, Va., Will Cover Ra- dius of 3,000 Mil&.—To Cost $1,000,000. ‘Washington, Oct. 28—Crackling and sputtering with life, the navy's new wireless station at Arlington, Va., the most powerful plant in the world, to- night flung from its lofty aerials the first rtessages which signalized the completion of an important step in the building of a globe-girdling wireless system which will keep every ship of the United States navy and every in- sular possession within instant com- munioation with the capital.
