GERMAN CHIEF OF TURKISH MEDICAL STAFF
LETTERS 1
Roosevelt Disliked to Sup-
port Mail Who Was
Ungrateful to Pow-

ed Him
By United Press.
S'yracuaei N. Y., April 26. Col.
Roosevelt resumed the stand this
morning after the week-end. It is
doubtful now if the rase can be fin-
ished before nexlt week. Barnes has
gone to the state convention at Al-
bany, but his attorney produced let-
ters between Roosevelt, Barnes and
Ex-RepresentaH.ive Robert Parsons,
regarding the re-nomination of
Hughes. Barnes wrote to Roosevelt
that he had burned all his bridges
behind him, and that any straight
republican, including Hughes, could
win, although there was no Hughes
serttlment anywhere except in New
York City. He told Roosevelt that
jf Hughes won the politicians who
did the work would be crushed and
in his reply to ithis letter Roosevelt
stated that he saw the force of
Barnes argument against the re-
nomination. Barnes urged that the
Republican party should nolt be
turned over to the Mugwomps.
Roosevelt's letter said that it was
not pleasant for him to be compell-
ed to support a man who wantonly
behaved badly to the very men to
whom he owed his election, but
that h« did not desire to have him
turned down wantonly. He admitt-
ed ithat he realized that Hughes alie-
nated many voters needlessly, but as
there was no proper vote getting
candidate in sight he thought that
he ought (to be renominated.
The Colonel claims that he was
not dictating but that he stood pat
for Hughes.

«II of these have worked together
for the common good there is still
left a zone where men by stealth
or^raft, profits at the expense of
others. It is upon this zone tha)t

ulation of competition plus co-op-
eration are Khe proper business
methods now according to the opin-
ion of Mr. Vrooman.

Chicago, April 2G.—Mrs Gabriel
Ixjeffler is in a serious condition in
the hospital here as the result, ol a
pistol shot fired by her crazed lover.
Mrs. Loeffler's husband left for
Alaska three years ago to seek his
fortune in the gold fields and lol l
her to consider herself free if she
did not hear from him in two years.
She waited faithfully for more than
tlje two years for some news, good
or bad from her adventurous bus
band but in vain. In
Leopold Kellner wooed her, but she
refused him at first, his persistence
finally won her heart and it was ar-
ranged that their engagement was
to be announced yesterday They
were together discussing their fu-
ture plans when the postman's
whistle blew and she received a let-
ter from her long absent husband
saying that he was on his way home
to claim her. Kellner read the let-
ter and momentarily crazed he drew
his revolver and shot her and then
turned the weapon upon himself

Vienna. April liG. At Austrian
headquarters it is claimed that the
Russian assault on the Austrian po-
sitions leading to the Carpathians
has been completely broken and that
the enemy have not been able to
make any serious impression on the
Austrian line The Russian loss-
es have been extremely heavy.
At 11:1a a m., an additional 2 1-2
foot rise struck the Rock Island
bridge at Bridgeport and by 11:40
twelve bentts were washed out Pile
drivers and other equipment are ou
the ground and just as soon as the
water subsides enough for work, the
bridge will be repaired with all
possible speed The bridge was just
closed Friday evening, and this ad-
ditional flood makes it necessary for
the company to do all the work over
again. The rise will not reach the
bridge at Union City before about
five o'clock this afternoon but It
is feared that it will again destroy
the repair work that has been done
at that point.

urday night, and Sunday of 2.51
inches brought the total precipita-
tion since the flrs t of January up to
