Priceless Prehistoric Specimens Moved to New Museum
National Museum undertakes a years long move of precious exhibits to a new building. W Alavenel says an opening near winter will show a portion of items while most remain, as 30,800,000 elements require special packing, custom steel cases, and expert handling. A Triceratops skeleton and other fossils face disassembly and reinstallation under tight safety and staffing constraints.

No Break With Taft Would Mean G O P Defeat
Speculation runs that Col Roosevelt will break with Taft to back insurgents like Indiana’s Senator Beveridge. Politicians say such a split would guarantee a Democratic landslide in 1910 and reshape the 1912 election, with some urging restraint if Roosevelt seeks to avoid harming Taft. Indiana Republicans largely back Taft, fearing a split and GOP loss.
