3 T. MOOSE MISSION ENDED; G.O.P P.LEADERS COUNT ON HIM IN 1916 430 Colonel Will Support Republican Presidential Candidate If Taft Is Barred. OTHERWISE HE'S "NEUTRAL." Leaders. Seeking Fold, Working Overtime to Put Progressive Element to Sleep. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will support the Republican candidate for President in 1916 unless that candidate is William Howard Taft, and in the event that he is placed at the head of the G.

O. P. national ticket the Oyster Bay statesman will "be neutral." This attitude on the part of the leader of the Bull Moose, which was indicated in Sunday's Eagle, has been ascertained by prominent Republican leaders, who have recently gone 1.0 infinite pains to sound out the Colonel as to what his future political plans are to be. It is regarded as authoritative and Republican national leaders are quietly banking on it in calculating their chances in the national campaign next year. It is stated upon the highest authority that the Colonel has made plain this attitude in the Progressive party movement and that he has permitted Republican leaders who sought by indirection to sound him out to receive the same impression and that in no indefinite way.

Republican and Bull Moose leaders who have been seeking light as to the Colonel's future plans politically have been told that while the Oyster Bay Moose may take some political moves that point in the opposite direction, they may bank on the fact that he (Colonel Roosevelt) will be found behind the Republican ticket, particularly the presidential candidate, unless his chief rival at Chicago in 1912, Mr. Taft, receives the nomination. Colonel Expects Soon to Make Position Clear. It has been intimated strongly that it may not be very long before the Colonel will give some tangible proot of this attitude either in a. public statement or in the course of some speech.

The Colonel, it is has said that he wants to choose the time for such a statement himself and that prior to that time he will maintain either an attitude of mute silence on the question or deny any intimation made that he is to support the Republican candidate in 1916. This, it is declared, is what has kept the Republican leaders. who have known about the situation for some time, from giving any direct intimation of what they have learned. They are rejoicing inwardly but dare not smile to the public lest it cause one of the proverbial slips 'twixt the cup and the lip. The fact that Colonel Roosevelt has put one restriction upon his support of the G.

O. P. candidate next year in the presidential campaign is not worrying the Republicans, because they do not believe it even within the range of possibilities that Taft will be the nominee. If he should their understanding of the situation is that Colonel Roosevelt will do nothing against him but will keep entirely out of the campaign. Future of Moose Party Very Much in Doubt.

What is to become of the Progressive party after its leading spirit comes out, as it is confidently expected he will. for the Republican presidential candidate is a question that has not been altogether solved. Many of its organizers, especially the more prominent ones, already believe that it has accomplished its purpose, viz, the purification of the Republican party, and are ready to abandon it and would leave forthwith if it were not for the fear that it would be seized by demagogues and used for political purposes that would bring shame upon them as its They look upon it as a veritable Frankenstein-a creation of their own without soul, which, it left to its own devices, will cause it all kinds of trouble. The wisest advisers in it are counseling that they hold on to it until it gradually dies out to an extent that it becomes useless as a political tool. Just at present it is a pretty powerful piece of machinery and those in control, who are anxious to get back within the Republican party, dare not let go the levers lest others seize them and run it for the promotion of personal ambitions.

The man the Moose leaders most fear is ex-Governor William Sulzer. It was only after a tremendous struggle that they prevented him from snatching its gubernatorial nomination last year and they fear that he will go after it again in 1916. With the situation developing this way the leaders within the Moose party who are most anxious to get back to the G. O. P.

fold are doing all 1 they can to put the Progressive organization as such to sleep. They are helping silently in its disintergration and hoping with all their heart that it will simmer out into a useless shell before the fall of 1916. If it does not they will in all probability nominate candidates for 110 other reason than to prevent its being used. If it has dinintegrated sufficiently by that time to be adjudged useless no candidates will be named -the leaders will go over either slowly or in a body to the Republican party, and what few followers are left will be advised to do the same.

GOV. WHITMAN SIGNS MAYOR'S POLICE BILL First One of Mitchel's Measures Which He Has Acted Upon Favorably. ALDERMANIC BILL REPORTED. Board of Estimate May Be Authorized to Pay Claims of Former Coroners Physicians. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, April 1--Governor Whitman today signed Mills-Stoddard bill providing a.

fifth deputy commissioner in the New York City Police Department. This is the first of Mayor Mitchel's bills which gives him patronage to be favorably acted upon by the Governor. It is permissive, simply giving the Police Commissioner the power to name a fifth deputy. As finally amended, the mandatory clause in the old law establishing the minimum salary of the deputy commissioners at $4,000 a year is stricken out and the Board of Estimate is given full power to fix the salaries of all deputies and the Commissioner. The Governor also signed Hamilton-Fertig bill permitting the City College to give free courses to city employees in vocational subjects and civic administration.

The Assembly Cities Committee following a session yesterday that lasted well into the morning hours today reported several important New York City bills and killed several others. The original Citizens Union bill for the reapportionment of the Aldermanic districts, with a few slight amendments, but not the amendments proposed by the Republican organizations in the counties of Greater New York, was reported favorably. It is understood that the bill was forced out in this condition to avoid the dangers of falling into the Rules Committee which will become the supreme factor in Assembly legislation early next week. It is now planned to put in the G. U.

P. organization amendments either from the floor of the Assembly or in the Senate. The Stoddard bill creating a dis. ciplinary board to control the dismissal and penalizing of civil service employees of the city was also reported favorably. This takes from of departments the power of removing employees after hearings and lodges it with the new board.

A different disciplinary board may be named for every case. The naming of this board is left with the commission under certain restrictions. The Milligan bill permitting the Board of Estimate to audit and pay the claims of former coroner's physialso reported favorably, This has alcians Volk, a Casper and Richers was ready been reported in the Senate. The Hoff bill, creating a board of parole for jurisdiction over the institutions on Randall's Island, was wise reported favorably.

OLD COUPLE MUST VACATE Rathbergers Home to Make Way for Subway. Lawyer Edward Riegelmann, representing the Public Service Commission, appeared before Supreme Court Justice Benedict in chambers this morning and asked him to vacate forthwith the temporary injunction granted Tuesday afternoon restraining the Commission from tearing down the home over the head of aged Mrs. Maria Rathbeger, at 136 Willoughby street.

TIME TO SAY "AMEN" ON CROPSEY, IS VIEW IN BAR ASSOCIATION Call Report Masterly Presentation of Facts and Say No Future Action Is Necessary. CONTROVERSY IS ABOUT AT END. Chances Are That Report Will Be Formally Approved and Entire Matter Dropped.

While any attempt to forecast the action of the Bar Association in advance of its meeting of April 9, at which the report of the special committee on the -judges controversy will be taken up and formally considered, would be mere conjecture, a number of prominent lawyers said today that they were in favor of adopting it and letting it go at that. Two members of the association declared that they had not yet received copies of report in full and that they would refrain from forming any opinion until they had carefully studied it. Only one man was in favor of adopting a resolution censuring the District Attorney for his outspoken criticisms of the judges. All the attorneys whose opinions were sought were men who were at the special meeting and heard the report read. Seventy-live per 'cent.

of those canvassed expressed the opinion that the time had come to say "amen," as one put it, to the entire controversy. It would be sufficient, they argued, to receive the report and adopt it. The matter had been paraded before the public long enough, said they. The one dissenter was a man who has been opposed to the District Attorney in several very important cases and is not believed to be very friendly but he said that he believed that the toward him. He declined to be quoted, Bar Association should go on record as strongly disapproving of the District Attorney's attack on the judges.

He believed, he said, that the disapproval should take the form of a resolution of censure. Most of the lawyers said they thought the report was a masterly presentation of the facts, which completely covered the ground. They predieted that it would stand as one of the historic legal documents of the nation and would be quoted by members of the Bar all over the country. Nearly all the lawyers who expressed an opinion were anxious that the sacred traditions of the association should be strictly observed, and for that reason declined to permit the use of their names for purposes of quotation in advance of official action taken by the association as a body. One of the more prominent of these attorneys said that he did not agree with everything in the report, and that in approaching the judges Mr.

Cropsey had simply exercised prerogative of district attorneys from time immemorial. don't think that the action of Mr. Cropsey was at all improper," he said. "It has been the custom of district attorneys in all counties of the State. I am in favor of dropping the matter.

The controversy has lasted long enough and attained entirely too much I prominence." Another attorney, whose name has been connected with some of the most important cases tried in this county, said that the committee had served its purpose, which was to point out to the public what the exact facts of the situation were. No good would be served, thought he, by doing anything other than accept the report and approve of it. The findings of the committee were in themselves sufficient, he argued. It was pointed out that the Bar Association had no disciplinary power, but that someone might initiate disciplinary proceedings before the Appellate Division if he felt so disposed. The April meeting, it is said, will be held in executive session.

While there will undoubtedly be some who will argue for further action if the views of the lawyers as expressed today is a fair criterion of the consensus of opinion, the chances are that the report will be formally approved and the controversy end there. lived a very happy married life in a fine home there.

Over -exertion and Excitement Sends Marathon Winner to Hospital. STILL EXULTS OVER RACE. Samuel Abramowitz, 17, Got Cup for Brownsville Club, but Lost Own Mind. In the observation ward of the Kings County Hospital is Samuel Abramowitz, 17. years old, of 458 Linwood street.

He is insane, the physicians say, but there is a possibility that he will recover. Sam is an athlete, his special hobby being ruinning. He was graduated two years ago from P. S. No.

109, Dumont avenue and Powell street. He went to work in a Manhattan tailors' supply house, but never relaxed his athletic training. The Bronwsville Field Club was raised to a high standing among the athletic clubs by Sam's work. He kept training every day, and the last two weeks was especially zealous. When he came home from work every night he ate sparingly, read a newspaper, and then went out for a cross-country run.

He had in mind a silver cup offered by the Sheridan A. C. of 25 Montgomery street, for the club winning the five-mile cross-country race that was run last Saturday night. Last Saturday night, Montgomery street was prepared for the run. Several Brooklyn clubs had their representatives there to run for them, and among them was Sam Abramowitz.

If there was any excitement in him before the race, he did not show it. He pranced about in the street, limbering up his legs, and felt certain he would bring home the prize for his club. The race was on. Sam remained behind the rest at the beginning, for he wanted to hold his energy for the final long sprint at the end. For the first four miles he was behind.

Then he sprinted to the front line of runners. Sam kept up with the first runner for thre of a mile, when he began his final dash to the goal. No other man could keep up with Sam in that quarter-mile sprint, and Sam broke through the line ahead of the rest. He won the silver cup. The joy that arose in Sam was unbounded.

So much so that his fellow members of the Brownsville Field Club saw that he was acting queerly. At first they thought he was overjoyed because of his victory, and escorted him home with the idea of calming him there. But Sam remained in that condition throughout Sunday, Monday and the rest of the week, until yesterday, when his father. Joseph, decided upon calling in a physician. Dr.

Kenard came from the Bradford, Street Hospital and greeted Sam cheerfully. Sam immediately, in the same mood he affected immediately after the race, told the surgeon all about the proposed Johnson-Willard fight. Dr. Kenard saw Sam's action was not normal, so he induced Sam to enter the ambulance, and Sam was wheeled off to the Kings County Hospital for observation. There the physicians said today Sam became insane from over -exertion and excitement.

Sam has a slight chance for recovery. He still glories over his victory. He won the silver cup for the Brownsville Field Club. Joseph Michael Sullivan.
