rOBTLANI), March 4. t'. S. Hem
mingwiiv of Daltoli. Mass., who is
m-outing through the I'nitcd States in
tho interest of the Taft campaign for
.resident, was lit the I'ortland Hotel
Moch.v and left for Puget Sound,
whence he will return east, stopping eo
... tlx. nriiicinal cities, air. xiem-
mingwnv reports conditions as he finds
them direct to Manager Yoorhics ot the
Tuft caim.aiL'U. He is a close observer
and has covered a lege part ..t the
- I'nited States already. He finds cv
crvwhero that Mr. Taft is runniug way
ahead of his field and will unquestion
ably win the nomination unless Jioose
vclt is forced into tho race.
"I find that the buisness interests
of tho smith, from Maryland to Texas,
through which territory I have just
como, are very strong for Roosevelt,"
said Mr. Hemmingway. "They aro pos
itive in their declarations for another
term nnd many of the lending business
men are inemorinlitfing Mr. Roosevelt
to induce him to accept tho nomina
tion. Politicians in the south aro for
Bryan and the southern farmers gener
ally are for the democratic candidate.
"The negro vote, both in the smith
and north, is questionable. 1 find that
there is some feeling nmoug the col
ored people against tho administration
ou account of the Brownsville incident.
Just how effective this feeling will be
against Mr. Roosevelt, should he ac
cept the nomination, is problematical."

WASHINGTON, March 4. Comman
der William II. Sims, naval aid to Pres
ident Roosevelt, by his own statemeut
is responsible for the "row" over crit
icisms of battleship construction. At
the outset of his testimony before the
senate committee on naval affairs he
said he would have to go into unpleas
ant facts, such as charging officers or
inventors with having made misleading
statements, the secretion of official
documents and the refusal of superior
officers to accept suggestions of value.
The plan of Commander Sims to give
the committee a sensation was iqwet
immediately by Senntor Tillman, who
suggested that the witness be instruct
ed to confine his testimony to alleged
faulty construction, anil to say not lung
at this time of criticism made of per
sonal or incomplete organization or
other matters which are to bo taken up
later. Tho commander ashed that he
bo permitted to continue his statement
without interruption and that the sen
ators would not cross-exnniin' him until
he had concluded his statement in his
own way. His request was ignored. He
got awav from the lino of inquiry
again and again, and members of the
committee called him back sharply.

SAX FRANCISCO, March 4 Abe
Ruef not only wants immunity, but he
wants his money back. His attorneys
say that it is a matter of principle. The
prosecution agrees, but says that it
should be spelled "principal." Their
only surprise is that Ruef did not ask
for interest as well. In a suit filed
Ruef asks that he be recompensed with
$41)59.0.", the amount he was obliged
to spend for the maintenance of his
prison quarters at Pacific avenue and
l-'iltnore street. He names as defend
ants Judge Frank H. Dunne, Rudolph
Spreekels. William TL Lnngdon, Wil
liam J. Burns, Francis J. Heney nnd
William J. Biggy, and asks the court
to order these men to pay him the
amount stated.
A statement from lluef's camp con
tained the announcement that the real
nnrnose of the suit was not to obtain
'the monev. but. to show that until Jan- j
uarv S, 100S, the prosecution had acted
as though it regarded the immunity eon
tract is still in force. It was added
that should the court award the
4G.")9.9."i to Ruef. he would donate it
to charity. The prosecution is inclined
to regard this as another little joke on
charitv.

BOURNE CARICATURED UPON
SECOND-TERM CAMPAIGN
WASHINGTON", March 4. Senator
Bourne has carried his second elective
term harrangue to such an extent that
he is being ridiculed. The Washington
Star has printed a clever cartoon,
which fairly reflects the sentiment. The
cartoon, labelled "The Xoiso of the
Unbeliever," represents Mr. Bourne pa
rading in front of the White House,
shouting through a megaphone, "Sec
ond Elective Term." while with his
left hand he is adding to his clutter
bv wielding an uiictioncer bell. From
his campaign hat protrudes a flag in- T
scribed, "Second Elective 'I erm. and
from bis lapel hangs a big streamer
bearing the same inscription. In the
background the president is seen
through the white house window, un
mindful of Mr. Bourne's noise, reading
with manifest satisfaction his election-
WASHINGTON, March 4. The nom
ination of (Irosvenor A. Porter, a cou
sin of Mrs. Roosevelt, to be United
States marshal for the eastern district
of Oklahoma, will not be reported by
the senate committee on judiciary. It.
was decided to request the president to
withdraw Hie nomination. Porter was
a marshal under tne lerrnoriai lorni oi
government nnd when named recently
I for the state of Oklahoma, charges nfi
I immorality and misconduct wore made.:
I The committee investigated the charges,
but decided upon the coursn mentioned:
rather than make recommendations for
the rejection of the nomination.
This appointment and that of Jack :
Abernathy, the wolf-catcher, for the
western district, were personal selec-;
t ions of Hie president.

CLOSING PORTLAND GATEWAY
WORRIES RAILROAD LINES
PORTLAND. March 4. Railroad
men outside of the Hill lines are wor
ried over the closing of the Portland
gateway to passenger travel to the Pu
get Sound cities. By the new order of
things throngh tickets to Paget Sound
are not sold in the east via Portland.
Passengers who insist on coining thro'
Portland must stop in their journey
here, reeheek their baggage nnd pay
the local fare to the sound cities.
This w:is I'piuL'tit about directly by
tin. decision of the int'Tstate commerce
cninn-Mon. which ordered Hie change
into effect March 1. However. its
cause lies further back than that, nnd
