HOW THEY LOVE TEDDY} Republican Nationai Committee- men All Shout for Him When ; the Wise Reporters Are Near. BUT THEY HAVE ALL GOT KNIVES OUT FOR HIM. It’s a Case of “Who’s Afraid?” Though They Dread a Frown —Chicago Slated to Get the National Convention. (Special to The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—The cogs of the Republican Nationa! machine stood atiMy in the lobby of the Aniington Hotel this morning until the hub, Mark Hanna, appeared. Then they assembled around him, quickly and with no creaks or jolts, and at 12 o'clock the machine was grinding ponderously. A National Committee meeting Is a pretentious bluff. Each State has some solemn citizen who will contrive to get on the committee, and all he gets a chance to do js to pay and go to a meeting once !n four years where he can listen to a lot of pigeon-breasted orators tell why their cities are the greatest places In the world to hold the coming convention in. About elght men on the committee run the business of the campaigns. The others do the heavy standing around. All of the standers around are here, and ix of the elght business gentlemen. These six, with Hanna at thelr head, who Is merely boss and not a member of the committee at all, have decided that Chicago will have the convention and that it will be held early next June, op the first or second Tuesday, Smiles That Agonize, It 1s loudly proclaimed that Roosevelt ‘will be the unanimous choice of the con- vention for President. This statement is. made with many inflections of joy when reporters are around, but it is coupled with words that really are not fit to print when there are no reporters present. ‘The sad fact ia that Mr. Roosevelt, the peerless leader of the Republican: party, 1s a case of must. The National Committeemen would like to help de- feat him for the nomination, but they don't know how, and wouldn't dare !f they did. ‘They have been singing the siren song to Hanna for weeks, but'that wary Ulysses has lashed himself to the mast and listened, but is not allured. He would llke to defeat Roosevelt, too, but he doesn't know how either, nor does he dare, with all his courage. Postmaster-General Payne and Perry Heath met in the lobby and {ilked of old times, Mr. Bristow was not pres- ent. Heath isn't golng to resign. Hanne will hold on for a while, at least. Roosevelt wilt be nominated, ‘unless some miracle worker comes along. The air pitates Teddy, and behind every back there is a knife ee feet long, sharpened to @ ragor edge. ‘When Senator Hanna called the meet- ing to order he was greeted with a round of applause. He expressed briefly hig thanks to the comnittee for the work in the campaign of 1900, sdying: ) Stand Pat, Says Hanna, “I desire to improve this opportunity to thank the members of this committee for their hearty and loyal co-operation . In the campaign of 1900, for which ser- i vice they were chosen ‘by the conven- tlon held that year. “From a personal standpoint, it 1s a pleasure to me to make this acknowl- edginent of unanimous and able support {| on the part_of this committee in that campaign. Those of you who may be unfortunate enough to be chosen again \- will have that experience. : “All of interest to the Republican ty that centres in this meeting can ie told in one word—that Is ‘success.’ id all that is necessar: neipais and policies of that ‘art i incipals and policies o! at party. ‘This statement was greeted with heanty applause. Chairman Hanna ex- plained that all meetings of the com- mittee would be public except at the meeting to-morrow, when balloting for @ place to hold the next convention would take place.

August Uthmeyer, aged 29, a porter employed at a hotel in Fort George conducted by J. Schultheles, was ar- raigned in Harlem Police Court to-day, charged with the larceny of $4,000. Mr, Schulthelss, to whom the money delonged, made a safety deposit vault of a boiler in the hotel. On Nov. 4, he says, he placed the money which was In a tin box in the boller. A few days later, when he dooked for it, the box was gone. The police were notified, and yesterday Patrolman Stebbins, of the West One Hundred and Fifty-second street station, placed Uthmeyer under arreet. He denied the charge. Suspicion of the police also is directed toward Bernard Blumenthal, of No. 167 East Ninety-second street, who formerly Worked at the. Schulth Hotel, but left there last May and took employment at a nearby hotel. Blumenthal sailed for Germany Noy. 21 on the steamship Penn~ sylvania, and @ cablegram has been sent to the police in that country to locate m. Blumenthal and Uthmeyer were close friends, It is sald. The police say that they were told by a letter-carricr that a fow days after the money disappeared Blumenthal handed him a package ad- dressed to R. R. Bezires, Muthein, Ger- many, saying it contained money, and asking that {!t be registered. “It 1s thought this package: may have con- tained the stolen money.

I thought it was not properly nourished, so I began feeding it on Postum, which i have used In my own home for years with such grand results, “You would be surprised to know how that little thing improved. Sis- ter had been feeding it on artificial | tood that did not agree with it. The baby continued to get stronger all the time we were feeding her on Pos- wim, anc when sister left here she took Postum with her, for she feels certain that with Postum to feed the oaby on she is sure of good, healthy, nourishing food drink.” Name given vy Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
