WORRYING ROOSEVELT —t — Hanna is Causing Teddy Much Trouble at Present Washington, Nov. 27.—There is but little doubt but that Senator Hanna is worrying the present occupant of the whitehouse no little and it is all on account of the fact that the Ohio boss would have little trouble in getting the republican nomination if he really wanted it and some of his friends say that the bee is buzzing very close to his bonnet. Tht visit of Governor Odell to Wash- Ingto is believed to be a virtual come down of Roosevelt and avowing to New York’s >-v. JSS& 44 hai TnW Odell have been at outs over the re publican leadership of the state and it is stated that the president ignored the latter and gave Senator Platt the benefit of the federal patronage in that state. In other words he allowed Senator Platt to name the govern ment officers. Governor Odell resent ed this and, it is thought, that he can easily carry the delegates of New York for Hanna or any other man he cares to support. But the president has squealed. He has asked Governor Odell to visit him and has come off the perch, so: those who know:, say. In the meantime thousands of Sen ator Banna’s friends are urging him to become a candidate for the noun iation and it is asserted that he can get the nomination if he cared to.

Railroad Company Claims That Um sted was Due Them Money and That the Road Paid for Build ing the Office. The article The News Thursday morning to effect that the steel plant office building, which had been donated to the library, had been, re moved unbeknowing to the owners of the property, occasioned considerable comment In, the city, and was discuss ed generally. The facts in the case came to light soon after the publication of the ar ticle, and the officials of ttfe B. & B. soon made the statement that the building had been removed by the road, and claimed that they had a right tot the building on the grounds that Umsted, the steel plant promoter, was indebted to them several thous and dollars. It was further claimed by B. & B. officials, or one of the officials, rather, that the offline was erected when Umsted was chairman of the board of directors of the company and that the building was paid for with B. & B. funds under instructions from Mr. Umsted.' This statement has been flatly de nied in seme circles. It may be a fact that the building was paid for with B, & B. money, but not when Mr. Umsted was ehtairman of the board of directors, as he was not elected _to that position until after the building in question was erected. It is further claimed by some of the owners of the land on which the building was erected, that the B. & B. had no right whatever to remove the building without first notifying them them nrnn erty jLao££_Jihe law. Just what will be done about the matter cannot be learned, as it seems to be rather a complicated affair. Some of the owners of the property, it is undtrsiciod, have been seen .since the question came up and have agreed to let the road keep the building, while others are still indignant at the act ion of the railroad, and say they wilt fight the matter out. At any rate the question is not as yet settled and the courts may be called upon to settle it. THERMOMETER DROPPED BELOW FREEZING POINT Genuine Cold Weather Was Exper ienced in Brunswick Yesterday.
