PRAISE FOR FIRE FIGHTERS. I or United States High- ly Commended.

"WASHINGTON, Oct. of the Interior Ballinger has transmitted to the war department a letter from W. R. Logan, superintendent of Glacier national park in Montana, commending the United States troops called out to fight the forest fires. ''I deem it only proper that I call your attention to the splendid work done by the troops fighting fires in Glacier national park," wrote Superintendent Logan.

"Colonel Maney. in command of the troops from Fort Assiniboine, was alive to the situation, and he and his command did sp'endid work. The enlisted men stood the hardship without a murmur working alongside of civilians who were drawing 25 cents an hour and board of the very best that money could buy. Major Hasbrook and his command from Fort Harrison, deserve equal praise with the command under Colonel Maney. "I had one company of the Twenty- fifth infantry (colored) stationed at Fort Essex, under the command of Lieutenant W.

S. Mapes. I doubt if I can say enough in praise of Lieutenant Mapes and his negro troops. The work performed by them could not be improved upon by any class of men." DINNER. AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

COINS A NEW PHRASE WKASEL WORDS MR. IIOOSEVKLT'S LATEST CONTRIBUTION. HITS AT PARTY PLATFORMS SAYS SOME ARE TREACHEROUS OH MEANINGLESS. Culuuel in New Hampshire In Inter- est of Candidacy of mer Senator Fomleer In the Limelight. NASHUA, N.

Oct. Roosevelt went campaigning across Xew Hampshire today and urged the election of Robert P. Bass, republican candidate for governor and the rest of the ticket. Beginning with a speech in Concord, he stopped off in Manchester and wound up the day with an address in Nashua. Mr.

Bass obtained his nomination in a campaign against what he characterized the domination of the state by railroad influence. Colonel Roosevelt spoke of the recent statement of Charles S. Mellen, president of the New. York, -New Haven Hartford railroad and the Boston Maine, that hereafter the railroads would take no part in politics in New Hampshire. He told the people that while he was glad that Mr.

Mellen had said what he did, they ought to see to it that the railroads kept out of politics in the future, not because they wished to, but because they had to. At Manchester Colonel RooseveH talked bareheaded while the raindrops pattered down. In this speech he emphasized "new nationalism." Control of He described his attitude toward control of corporations in this way: "All I want to see Uncle Sam do is to say to the corporation, 'Come, come, you tote "I never believed I had any genius," the colonel said at Nashua. "All I have done is to apply to governmental problems just the same qualities we expect a decent man to show In h's business dealings. I have been surprised at the support I have obtained and the animosity I have aroused.

That group of financiers known at "Wall street has got to a. condition where it is seeing things at night. The New York papers -which supported Wall street" he added, "even say I want to be king." Tie said the vast majority of very rich men in New York were supporting the democratic ticket, "because they say they are afraid of me. Well, they needn't be afraid of me unless they want to do something- crooked." Colonel Roosevelt said lie liked the republican state platlonn because it contained no "weasel words." He explained that "weasel words" were which sucked the meaning out of the words in front of them. WASHINGTON, Oct.

was learned here today Theodore Roosevelt -will include Ohio in the campaign he is making this fall. His speeches in Ohio will Tie made at Cleveland, Toledo and probably several other of the northern cities. The exact dates for the speeches have not been fixed, but they will be made whiJa the colonel is returning- from Iowa, where he will speak the first week in November. COMES FORTH FROM Fornlccr Urealcs Silence to MnUe A- taclr on Roosevelt. MARYSVILLE.

Oct. Senator Joseph B. Foraker signalized his return 'rt" legislative politics here today by going after Colonel Roosevelt and his new nationalism roughshod. ForakPr stood pat on the tariff, deplored the activities of the insurgents, urged Senator Dick's reelection and endorsed Warren G- Harding for governor and the entire republican state ticket. He spoke kindly of President Tart's administration and dcc'ared the republican victory in Ohio means a great deal to the president.

Referring to Colonel Roosevelt's new nationalism, the former senator said that in spirit at least, it was as treasonable as secession itself. "It has one saving feature." however," he continued. "There'is about it all such a preposterous absurcUtv and such an unsufferable egotism as to excite not only condemnation, but ridicule. It is another case of 'vaulting ambition o'erleaping- itself. it has dispelled illusions that had bo- come dangerous.

The peop'e now- better' understand the author am' know better how to judge what he proposes. They are not likety to longer regard him as an improvement on George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. "If there was nothing more Involved in this contest than a choice between men, no one need be seriously con- cernPd as to the outsome. The candidates for governor- are both fair and able-minded men of high character. "But there is vastly more involved than choice between Governor Harmon and Mr.

Harding." Mr. Foraker said that republican 'party is not only confronted by its ancient enemy, but is menaced by internal dissensions that threaten its very existence. "We have lately had a new declaration of political principles," said Mr. Foraker. "They are baptized as the doctrine -of a 'new They the set forth in the nature of a platform for a new party.

Possibly they are intended for that use only in the event that the distinguished author, be not nominated for the presidency by either of the old parties. "However that may be. It is well to note that they violate our dual form of government by arrogating to the national government the control of matters so purely local that they clearly belong to the Jurisdiction of the states. "The power It woukl give to the president ofl the United States would be far more autocratic and dangerous to the liberties of this people than arc those of any monarchy in Europe. "The program has one saving feature, however.

There is about it all such a preposterous absurdity and such an Insufferable egotism as to excite not only condemnation, but ridicule." BRYAN TURNS ON UNCMS SpenUa In En Tincr- Oit of AV.

The imperial senate. not yet three weeks old, lias voted to memorialize the throne lor the early opening or a general parliament. This action appears to indicate 'that the new senate will not a submissive or mock institution, but one with which the grand must reckon. As f.ir back as last June a formal demand was macie foi the immediate convocation ut a national parliament, the establishment of which had been promised for the year jyjo An imperial decree was then issued, refusing the demand, which was made by delegates to the provincial assemblies and supported by organizations of merchants throughout the country. The Imperial senate no sooner assembled on October 3 than the provincial delegates formed an opposition party nncl arrycd themselves against the throne.

The- rjueMlon of the parliament wui, brought up daily and the demand was made mat it should nave executive anu not merely advisuiy power. The campaign culminated yesterday, when impassioned speeches were made, in which it a pointed out that a change was imperative for the salvation 01 the country. This plea won over a large majority.

necrcd Scheme. CHICAGO, Oct. hundred thousand dollars' worth of counterfeit Nicaragruan five peso notes, freshly reprinted, were seized and the printer who made them, the engraver who made- the plates and the man chargd with securing their -manufacture were arrested here today by Captain Porter, of the United States secret service, and his operatives. The notes had only been printed, not having- the "official" seals or numbers impressed. There were 150.000 notes, each of five pesos, worth approximately each, American money, and "signed" by F.

Baca, advocate general; J. Madrita, "El Presidente" and F. Mayorgas. They had not been cut from'the large sheets. George B.

Williams, president of the printing company bearing his name, was charged with printing the spurious notes; H. N. Secreest of Tampico; was accused of b'clng the promoter having the notes printed, and Richard J. Thumbull. manager of the Guarantee Engraving company, Chicago, was charged with having made the copper plates iroin Vhich the paper was printed.

These plates were taken by the secret service men from the presses, where they were being used at the time of the raid. Williams Pleads Innocence. Williams declared, when arrested that he thought H. Secreest was an official of tho Njeiraguan government and that the was legal. Trumbull's plea was similar.

The atory of the counterfeiting plan, according 1 to the secret service, is as follows: Secreest, a- planter of Tampico, has been loaning money to Nicaraguans and was unable, to get it back because of a shortage of current funds in the republic. Upon a public announcement that the government duplicate for 1910 an issue of five peso notes similar to those of 1909 to relieve the stringency, Se- creest, seeing a chance to profit legitimately, came to the United States. Failing to make arrangements in another city, Secreest made a canvass of Chicago and upon his representation that he was an official from Nicaragua, the Williams company, through its president, agreed to print the according to Trumbull's story, the Guarantee Engraving company agreed to furnish the plates. A lookout tip to the secret service operatives from the first city Secreest is reported to have visited, (supposed to bo" In Ohio) enabled the' Chicago operatives to keep close watch on the Mexican, and today a watcher at thJ printing plant reported the three men in conference. Captured in the Building.

Captain Porter and his men hurried to the big north side plant and captured the three as they were leaving the building. Eight bundles of the printed notes, twelve copper plates used in the printing and a copy of the official seal of the Nicaraguan government were taken to the federal building and the officials brought from the offices of the printing company two bona fide notes of tho 1909 issue, trom which the engravers are alleged to have copied the plates for the counterfeits. United States laws provide equal punishment for counterfeiters of Amoriean or foreign coin or paper money, the offense being having in possession the means of coin-counterfeiting or the spurious article. The penalty is not to exceed five years imprisonment or a line of or both. United States Commissioner Foote continued the case against the three until next Wednesday.

Seereest's bonds were fixed at $10,000, Williams, at $5,000 and Trurnbuil's at 00. Both Williams and Trumbull furnished bonds. LESS LEGiALJVIINDS NEEDED Majority ol for Conrt IN THIS PAPER. PAGE ONE.

This reform in the judiciary is advocated by Jon Strange, lieutenant governor of Wisconsin, who is visiting relatives In Spokane.

The Cornhuskers "came-back" yesterday and, playing with superb spirit and dash, administered a decisiva drubbing to the clan of Deacon Koehler from Denver university. Tha score was 27 to 0.
