Seeing a stone about the size of a baseball, he threw and struck the animal on the head, felling it. He then killed it with the butt of his gun. Several of Griffiths' friends returned here yesterday from Griffith's ranch, bringing with them the skin of the deer, which Griffith will have mounted. SCHOONER LOST IN STORM: CREW OF SEVEN PERISH Life Savers on [[?]] Near Norfolk Make Vain Efforts to Launch Life Boats [By the Associated Press.] NORFOLK, Va., Nov. 2. - The three masted schooner John Maxwell of New York lies stranded, three-quarters of a mile southeast of the New Inlet life saving station, being battered to pieces in a thirty-eight mile gale. The schooner Maxwell carried a crew of six men in addition to Captain Godfrey. They shipped at New York. A. H. Bull & Co., the schooner's owners, said the vessel was worth about $10,000. Life savers could not even laugh a boat in the heavy surf which pounded down on the beach, and the best that could be done was to shoot out a line. From the shore two figures lashed in the rigging could be seen to move, but they did not grasp the line which repeatedly was shot within their reach. It appeared that the two survivors were so weakened they could not help themselves. MRS. CHARLES PINKERTON UNDERGOES AN OPERATION Daughter of President Arthur Submits to Blood Transfusion for Relief of Anemia. [By the Associated Press.] MOUNT KISCO, N. Y., Nov. 2. - An operation for the transfusion of blood was performed, it was learned today, upon Mrs. Charles Pinkerton, daughter of the late President Chester A. Arthur, a week ago at her home here. The operation lasted more than two hours. Two men, whose identity was not disclosed, supplied the blood to which was transferred to Mrs. Pinkerton's veins. Mrs. Pinkerton had been suffering from anemia. She is said to have improved steadily since the operation. FLOOD SWEEPS MEXICO TOWNS. Quarter of Population Perishes From Inundation Resulting From Rains. [By the Associated Press.] Guerrero, Mexico, Nov. [[?]] at 1:30 o'clock. The party included President Taft and aid, Major Rhoades; Mr. Sherman's immediate predecessor in the Vice Presidential office, C.W. Fairbanks; Postmaster General Hitchcock, Justices Hughes and Pitney of the United States Supreme Court, Senor Juan Riano, the Spanish Minister; United States Senators Penrose of Pennsylvania, Bacon of Georgia, O'Gorman of New York and Works of California; Representatives Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Calder of New York and Jones of Virginia. The party also included Chairman Hilles of the Republican national committee and ex-Governor Francis of Missouri. The party was met at the railroad station by a reception committee of twenty and escorted to a hotel in automobiles. Among the earlier arrivals were Attorney General Wickersham and Secretary Nagel of the Department of Commerce and Labor, Senators Root, Crane, Curtis, Oliver and Lippett, Representative George W. Fairchild and Mayor H. H. Edgerton of Rochester. PRESIDENT IS GUARDED Careful preparations for guarding President taft during his stay in Utica were made by the secret service force. Immediately after the arrival of the special train the President was taken to the Sherman home to pay his respects to Mrs. Sherman. In the carriage with him were C. W. Fairbanks, Major Rhoades and Major W. S. Doolittle of this city, a Yale classmate of the President. Associate Justice Hughes held a long conference with the president after the special left New York, and late the Senators and Representatives in the party paid their respects. There were no members of the national committee on the trip up, and neither the President nor Mr. Hilles took up the question of a possible successor to Mr. Sherman except in a formal way. The services at the First Presbyterian church began shortly after 2 o'clock and every available seat had been taken when the President and party had arrived, except those which had been reserved. The services were conducted by Dr. M. W. Stryker, president of Hamilton college, who spoke briefly. He said in part: "In solemn and united mourning, but with" (Continued on Page 4, Column 2.)

It is proper to say to the reader at the outset that this chapter is written without any political or partisan motive or purpose whatsoever. The only effort has been to arrive at the truth and to tell it impartially, without bias, in a way wholly fair and just to all concerned. STORY IS FRANKLY TOLD. Though the story is given with much frankness, as is necessary in adequate treatment of such an episode, and with brief and reluctant allusions to what may be called mere domestic or social incidents, it is agreeable to note that certain extravagant and somewhat sinister theories, upon which one or the other of the principal has been severely criticised by the partisans of the other, are either wholly dispelled or greatly softened by the actual facts. On one side we have had fierce criticism of Colonel Roosevelt for what had been called his "disloyalty" to the President, his "treachery." According to this view Mr. Roosevelt, having chosen Mr. taft to be his successor, having nominated and assisted in electing him, having vouched for him to the party and the country, had assumed a responsibility in which it was his duty as a party leader and as a gentleman to stand by his handiwork. The charge is made that Colonel Roosevelt was piqued because he found he could not dominate his successor, and that he determined to ruin [[?]] he could not rule; that he seized upon trivial causes of offense and magnified them into mountain to back up his secret motive, which was a desire for revenge coupled with his own mad lust for power. BLAME ON TAFT On the other side, the adherents of Colonel Roosevelt have retorted that President Taft is the one guilty of disloyalty and teachers; that he pledged himself to carry out the Roosevelt policies and [[?]] to do so; that he broke promises [[?]] to Cabinet and other important appointments; that he deliberately bit the hand that had fed him; that from the moment of his election he began to plot to rid himself of me in the government who had been closely identified with his predecessor, and that his ingratitude to his political creator was carried beyond the pale. That the causes of the estrangement may appear in their proper perspective it is necessary to recall the historic fact - the one important point upon which both sides agree - that Mr. Roosevelt did name Mr. Taft as his successor; that if the Colonel had not used his power as the party leader, and as president, together with his great political [[?]] and his well-known popularity and prestige in his protege's behalf probably another would have been chosen. It is not contended by any one that Mr. Taft could have reached the [[?]] if then Presi- It is [[?]] of the story, some- be bone in mind - given hereinafter. -responsibility for -gations of [[?]] the constraints and- which thus devolve- in their mutual - psychological base - political tragedy - The reader should - larger purpose - view in this using - his successor, for - the story.

Sections along the edges of this paper were cut off. I transcribed the parts that I could decipher and left dashes in place of where other words (perhaps from a different piece of the newspaper) should go.
