The letter, in full, follows- Beverly, Mass, Aug. 29, 1910.

My Dear Mr. McKinley: As the chairman of the national congressional Ke- rubllcan committee, you have asked me to Klve the reasons which should lead voters in the coming November election to cost their balloti for Republican candidates for Congress. I assume that when this letter is given i i the lines will be drawn, the party cindldites will have been selected, and the question for decision will be whether we shall have in the House of Representatives a Republican or a Democratic majority. The question, then, will be not what complexion of Bepublican- one prefers, but whether it is better for the country to have the Republican party c.ontrol tho legislation for the next two years and further redeem its promises, or to enable a Democratic majority in the House either to interpose a veto to Republican measures, or to formulate and pass bills to carry out Democratic principles Prominence has been given during the preliminary canvasses just ended to the differences between Republicans; but In the election differences should be forgotten Differences within the party were manifested in the two sessions of the present Congress, and yet never in its history has the Republican party passed and become responsible for as much useful and progressive legislation. So, while issues will doubtless arise between mcm- tiers of a Republican majority as to the details of further legislation, the party, as a whole, will show itself In the future, as In past, practical and patriotic in subordinating individual opinions in order to secure real progress.

Hence it is Important that after Republican congressional candidates have been duly and fairly chogen, all Republicans who believe In thp partv principles as declared ju 115 national platform of 1936 should give the candidates loyal and effective support If this ia done, there will be no doubt of a return of a Republican majority. The only other alternative is a Democratic majority. It is difficult, very difficult, to state all the principles that would govern such a majority in its legislative course; and this because its party platforms have presented a variety of planks not altogether consistent, and because In the present Congress leading Democrats in the Senate and the House have not hesitated to repudiate certain of their party pledges and to deny their binding character. We may reasonably assume, however, that a Democratic majority In the House would reject the Republican doctrine of protection as announced in 1908. What, therefore, has a Republican who believes in protection, but objects to some rates or schedules in the present tariff act to hope for from a Democratic majority which, if allowed Its way, would attack the protective system, and halt business by a threatened revision of the whole tariff on revenue basis, or if prevented by the Senate or the executive would merely do nothing? Such a legislative program as that set forth in the Republican national platform of 1908 could not be carried out in full by one Congress.

Certainly if all Us promises are executed in one administra- CONTINUBD ON FIFTH P4GE. KOREAN IREAIY OUT ROOSEVELT ON PLAINS Rides 30 Miles on Cow Ponies and Enjoys Experience.

Cheyenne, Wyo, Aug. tough, nirey cow ponies Theodore Roosevelt rode 30 miles today across tlie plains of Wyoming.

He wanted to get back once more among 1 the cowboys in their own country and mingle with them as he did in the old days 27 years ago, when the lure of the West brought him out here. He visited the sheep ranch of Senator Warren, and returned to Cheyenne tonight, more enthusiastic than ever about the wonders of the West. Col. Roosevelt began the day by going to church. With Timothy F.

Burke, of Cheyenne, United States district attorney, he attended the First Congregational Church. After the service was over the people crowded around him, and he shook hands -with everybody. There was a wide difference of opinion around town as to whether the colonel would be good for the whole ride, and some bets were made that he would not. He had a. relay of three horses and rode them like a cavalryman.

Enjoyed the Whole Bide. When the ride was over he said he had enjoyed every minute of it and was not a bit stiff or sore. His mounts were spirited ones, which gave him a little trouble, but he never lost control. Lieut. Thompkins, of Fort D.

Toward dust; they reached the ranch of Senator Warren, where they stopped for supper. Senator Warren's ranch is 16 miles from Cheyenne. The senator has 30,000 acres of semiarid land, some of which he devotes to dry farming. In the middle of ihe ranch there Is a little settlement of long, low buildings, of which the ranch, louse where Senator Warren lives part of the time, is the chief.

There are sheds under which, the cattle are driven in hard weather, corrals, a blacksmith shop, the house of the major-domo, and the shacks in which the cowboys and range riders sleep. Turn Out to Greet Colonel. Everybody in the little village turned out to welcome Col. Roosevelt with a cowboy yell, and the colonel shook hands all around. The cowboys and sheep herders were dressed in their Sunday best.

They wore silk shirts of flaming colors, with scarfs around their necks, and chaps of red, green, or yellow. Col. Roosevelt spent two hours there. He said he was able to ride back to Cheyenne on horseback, but as it was dark he decided to make the return trip by automobile. really am very much Impresssd by what I have seen here," Col.

Roosevelt said. "The Frontier day celebration yesterday was remarkable. I want to call attention to the fact that the people who toojc I part in the events yesterday are people from this section, and not cowpunchers who have been 31 years with shows. They are the real thing. "People sometimes feel regret because they think that under our civilization we are becoming too soft.

"Then there was Buffalo Vernon. I noticed that when he went out to bulldog the steer he wore a leather bandage around his wrist. I asked him why he wore it, and he told me he had broken his wrist -the day before. Now it is a pretty hard job for a man with every bone sound to bulldog a steer. Buffalo Vernon Cid it with a broken wrist." I "I was sorry that I didn't see Joe La Force yesterday," the colonel went on.

"We have endeavored up to the present to follow modern administrative principles, but long-existing evils and deep-rooted weakness make it impossible for us to effect reforms in a reasonable time. Daily and nightly we were concerned, but were unable to rectify these conditions. "Therefore we feel constrained, believing it wise, to intrust the great task to other hands. In order that efficient measures may be taken and a satisfactory result-obtained, after serious consideration, we have ceded all our sovereignty rights to Japan's emperor, having implicit faith in hip, and thus insuring Far Eastern peace and our people's welfare.

MOVING PICTURES OF BRAIN. Psychologist Hopes to Photograph Mental Processes. Special to Washington Post. Boston, Aug.

Max Baft, the psychologist of Clark College, Worcester, announced today that experiments are now being perfected in Buenos Aires whereby the human brain can be photographed while in action Just as easily as can the human body itself. He asserts these pictures, if taken at stated intervals, will assist in developing childhood along the right lines. Dr. Baft says: "By the moving picture we shall bo able to decide whether or not the miserable person squirming in a cell on a charge of murder is really fit to be freed on the ground of irresponsibility. If we have the X-ray and the cinematograph, using also the ctuinta- mlltamicroscopia, which my friends in Buenos Aires are perfecting, we shall be able to codify the histology of the mind.

In other words, once we shall have known the movements of the brain when the cells are magnified 5,000 times we shall know something of how and why certain offspring of certain couples are imbecile, while couples of similar class produce children of worth."

Customs Inspector George L. Babcock, who examined the Adriance trunks, found nothing in them dutiable except those things, mostly women's apparel, which had so satisfactorily declared.

C. C. Wail, the special Treasury agent, who was assigned to assist Deputy Surveyor John J. Rascklewicz to uncover the pearls, assisted. The ransacking of the trunks took a long time, and Mrs.

Adrlance looked on with patience that seemed admirable. Even Mr. Rasckiewicz oogan to suspect that the string of pearls bought on the other side might not have come with Adriance. He suggested that perhaps she might have overlooked the string of pearls. She replied that she had bought no pearls abroad.

Mr. Rasckiewicz said he regretted it, but that the Information of the Treasury Department gave him no other choice than to have Mrs.

After about half an hour the Inspectresses came back on the pier with a gold mesh bag and a few yards of lace that they had found in the clpthlng of Mrs. Adriance, but they had been unable to find -the pearl necklace. They said that the examination had been of the strictest kind.

Policd at Sea as to Death of Norval T. Harris. THEIR THEORY IS SUICIDE Quarrel About a Woman Hay Have Led to Murder. Body of Youth Employed as Inspector by Street Cleaning Contractor Is Found in Southwest Sunday Horning With Bullet Wound in Skull--Negro Directs Two White Men to Scene, Then Disappears--Robbery Mot Motive. 92.OO to Lumy, and Return, September 4, Baltimore Ohio, by special train from Union Station, Washington, 8:15, return- ing.leave same day.

A murder mystery or a suicide, the motive for which' is baffling, is confronting the Washington police as a result of the discovery early yesterday morning of the body of Norval T. Harris, 21 years old, near Ninth and I streets with a bullet wound at the base of his skull. No one is known to have seen the fatal shot fired, no one has been able to find the pistol from which the shot was fired, no one can deduce a motive if suicide was committed, no one can offer a logical reason for murder. Negro in the Case. Yet conflicting theories aesorb the police.

A negro, who, discovering the dead body, directed two white men to the scene, is being sought, the belief being trlat lie knows something of the crime and its commission. Also there is a woman, or, it appears, several women involved either directly or indirectly. Who they are and what part, If any, they played have not been learned. Several unintelligible telegrams and fragments of letters found in the dead man's room at 115 New York avenue add to the mystery of the affair. The police persist in the theory of suicide, yet they are unable to locate the "telltale" revolver, or explain why there were no powder marks on the man's neck or hair.

Woman's Letter. Found. The presence of A woman in the case was revealed when pieces of a torn letter were found in Harris' room. One part of the missive, evidently written by a woman, informed her "dear brother" that she was married to Harris. That Harris Was murdej-ed following a quarrel Involving this woman IB cne of the theories advanced.

Bobbery was not the motive, for a considerable sum of money and other valuables were found intact on the body. An empty revolver holster was found in one of the dead roan's pockets. The holster bore Harris' name and the date WOT. likewise the initials U. S.

N. in ink. On the top of the holster, printed in ink, these words: "I bought this little pocket piece to pass the time away." On another place was printed "Something to keep me company." The coroner has ordered an inquest to be held this morning. Inspector Boardman and four detectives who worked on the case throughout the day could throw no light on the mystery surrounding the death of young Harris. The day's work of the detective force, supplemented by such information as the relatives of young Harris could furnish, was barren of results.

Unusual Aspects of Case. Here is a mystery as dark and deep and as the police have had to encounter for many a day. Their first day's work bodes ill for any final clearing up of the perplexing- situation. The case has unusual aspects. There are the money and the watch to refute any claim of possible robbery as a motive for murder.

Young Harris is known to have been happy in his home life, and is not known to have had a sweetheart, equally untenable becomes the suicide theory, advanced by police officials. There is an element of mjstery also in the sudden disappearance of the unidentified negro who found the body, but leallv great importance is not attached to the identity of the negro. Clinton Cantwell, of 724 Seventh street southwest, was standing in front of his home at about 6 o'clock yesterday morning when an excited negro rame dnl repoited the rinding of the body, whiclt proved to be that of young Harris. John Fluey, of 1113 Eleventh street southeast, also heard the negro's tale. Negro, Professed Alarm.

Cantwell the negro why he had not at once reportep to the police. The negro replied in his own dialect that suspicion sometimes came to be attached to a man in tiiat wey. He agreed to show the men where the body Cantwell, approaching the body of Harris, discerned at once that he was dead. There was trie tell-tale bulVet hole back of the ear, the blood flowing from it. The body was cold.

MY, Cantwell said life must have been exthrfct for some time. When he perceived that the body was cold he safd he absolved the negro fiom any connection with the crime. He end Fluey then separated to find a policeman, Fluey reporting the discovery to a bicycle policeman. Harris, -who was 21 years old, was employed by his uncle, R. A.

Harris as a street inspector, the uncle being superintendent for the company which has the contract for cleaning the city streets. He lived with Mr. and Mrs. Harris, at 115 New York avenue. Ho was as orphan and had made his home with tils uncle and aunt for the past two years.

He bore the trip well, but his insistent plea to be allowed walk unaided resulted in two distressing incidents. Once he sank to his knees as Ire tried to enter an automobile, and ascending the steps of his home he fell from overexertion. Despite his weakness, however, he maintained his cheerful mood, and once at Deepwells, spent the afternoon reclining in a chair on the veranda. The mayor left the hospital at o'clock this morning. had been there since Tuesday, August 9, the day on which he was shot by James J.

Gallagher, a discharged city employe, on the deck of the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Qrosse. Drawn up In the courtyard of the hospital to give him a final salute were 50 orphan children cared for by 'the institution. Mayor Gaynor insisted on stopping to speak to each one, and several he patted on the head. Overestimates His Strength. He walked unaided from his room on the fourth floor to the elevator, and from the ground floor to the automobile in wnich he was driven to a.

New Tork police patrol boat waiting for him at a pier in Hoboken. In entering the automobile, however, he overestimated his strength, and had difficulty in climbing onto the running board. His step was feeble, and his knees bent under hirn at every step. With him rode Mrs. Gaynor, his son Rufus, Robert Adamson, his private secretary, Dr.

Parrish, his family physician, and Luke Clark, hospital orderly, to whom he had taken an especial liking. At the dock where the police boat was waiting he walked across the gangplank and aboard the vessel without help, saluting the crew, which was drawn up to receive him. After the boat got under way he called for Capt Mott, in command, to come to the cabin, where he sat with Mrs. Gaynor. Asks for Mayor's Flag.

He complimented Capt. Mott on the fine appearance of boat and crew, smiled, and ordered that the mayor's flag be run up seemed insistent on this, and inquired of Robert Adamson if the nag were up. It had been hoisted Immediately To Long Island City the mayor rode in the after cabin, sitting up all the way. Arriving there, he walked down the deck and across the gangplank unassisted, but took a firm hold on the rail. There was a wheel chair on the dock to receive him, but he asked Dr.

George D. Stewart, who was waiting, if. he might walk, and he and the doctor walked to an electric cab. Here the tmayor again miscalculated his strength in trying to get into the cab and sank to his knees. Because of the bandages around his neck, covering part of Jils face, few people recognized the mayor in the Long Island City station There he was transferred to the private car of President Ralph Peters, of the Long Island Railroad, and this was attached to a special train.

Notwithstanding his previous feebleness, the mayor, in his joy at reaching home, demanded that he be allowed to go up the steps alcne. He got only part way, then fell upon his hands and knees. He was not injured, nor would he admit that he had fallen because of lack of strength. Hg insisted that he was strong. Safe at home, the mayor asked to be allowed to sit on his piaza, and Dr.

Parish consented. So he sat in the open air throughout the afternoon, reading and gazing at the green country about. Comments on Shooting. Only two neighbors were permitted to see him. To one of them, who commented upon the attempt to assassinate him.

Mayor Gaynor said: "I am content. My great hope is that the event will help to make me a better man and more patient and just" The mayor still manifests a disinclination to discuss the shooting, and these words are practically the first statement of his attitude on the matter. Secretary Adamson said tonight that for the present no operation for the re- moral of the bullet In the mayor's throat would toe performed.
