J Portland, April 25. Last, even
ing's Portland Journal presents this
view of the third term idea:
Letters received by prominent
Ortgoa Republicans from men
high in the party in Washington
and New York indicate that Tneo
dore Roosevelt may yet be a candi
date for the Republican nomination
for president and may accept the
nomination for the office when the
national convention meets. A National-wide
plan is now eaid to be
in operation for the purpose of cre
ating public sentiment and massing
it in such f( rm that the candidacy
of Roosevelt will dominate the
convention and make his nomina
tion certain.
These letters put the proposal in
a politic manner, and advise that
now is a good time for Oregon to
gft into the band wagon before the
procession starts, thus fixing the
people of the state fast and hard in
the good graces of the Republican
nominee and present president. It
is pointed out that public senti
ment throughout the east is rapid
ly cry etalizlng into a universal de
mand for Roosevelt's renommation.
The prediction is made that when
the convention is called to order
this insistent voice will reach such
irreeltible volume !tbat .President
Roosevelt will be compelled to- lay
asidq his scruples and allow him
s If to be forced into the place at
the head of the ticket.
It is then suggested that since
this condition prevails' it" w6uld-"be
the beet thing possible for Oregon if
it would take the lead and come out
for therenomination of Roosevelt
thereby allowing the people of the
east to hear the echo of their senti
ment3 in the voice of the west.
This, it is contended, would place
the state high in the council of the
next administration and give Ore
gon requests close attention for the
next four years more.
Already tbe hoodoo expression
"third term" is being swept aside
by the adoption of the term, "seoond
elective term." The old precedent
is to be buried under the argument
that tbe people of the United States
have elected Roosevelt to the presi
dency but once; that should he re
ceive the nomination and be elect
ed, ' be would have been given the
office but twice through the direct
vote of the people.
- Portland mn who have received
the letters nave begun to look
around and already see many eigne
pointing to the existence of the plan
outlined for the -coming battle.
The absolute disinclination of Mr.
Roosevelt to accept the nomination
as vice president and his subse
quent acceptance is remembered.
The present lively contest bei
tween Secretary Taft and Senator
Poraker in Ohio is argued to be of
the president's engineering, and
the Jesuit of it is expected to be si
much friction that tbe Roosevelt
leaders wi I decide Taft to be out
of the-race.
Senator Bourne went to Washing
ton pledged in his platform for a
second elective term for RooBevelt.
His sudden rise into the friendship
of the president is taken to be an
indication that the idea of another
four years is not foreign to . the
presidential mind.
Portland Republicans are falling
into line with the plan of campaign
and already talk is being heard of
universal endorsement by the vari
ous Republican organizations of
the state pledging tbe support of
the party to the third term idea.
The "second elective term" advice
has iallen in fertile soil here.
Hampton Normal Industrial Insti
tute, are named as trustees of the
fund, but neither of the institutions
they represent will share in the
gift. The income of the million
dollars is to be used for the eole
purpose of assisting in tbe "South
ern United States community, coun
try and rural schools for the great
class of negroes to whom the small
rural and community echools are
alone available."
Mr. Washington and Mr. Frieeell
are empowered to appoint a board
of trustees in connection with the
fund. The Pennsylvania Company
for insurance ou lives and granting
annuities o( this city will act as fis
cal agents for the trustees.
Miss Jeanes, the donnor, is about
80 years of age and comes from an
old and wealthy family that has
been prominent for more than a
century in the Society of Friends.
She has long been interested in the
welfare of the negro and has been
a contributor to the institutes for
education.

El Paso, Tex., April 23. . Credit
ors of the estate of the late L?rd D.
J.. Beresford, who wis killed , in a
train wreck in North Dakota De
cember 24, 1906, leaving' a very
large estate, have filed an applica
tion in the District Court here for
the appointment of an administra
tor and a probateof the will.
Among the plaintiffs is Flora
Wolff, the negress who claims to
have been the common law wife of
Beresford and to whom he willed
$10,000. The others are persons to
whom Baresford was indebted.
whose claims a New York lawyer,
representing the Beresfords, at
tempted to discount. The estate is
valued at over $1, 000,000 and con
sists of lands and cattle in Mexico
and Canada. After bequeathing
$lo,ooo to Flora Wolff, the will left
remainder of the property to Bere
ford's two brotbere. The Wolff wo
man refused to accept the amount
left her, claiming a wife s share un
der the laws of Mexico.
Admiral Loid Beresford, when
here some weeks ago, failed to reach
a compromise with Flora Wolff and
left tbe other claims to be. adjusted
by his attorney in New York.

Chicago, April 23. A stupen
dous railroad protect involving tbe
construction ut a lour-track sub
marine tunnel 22 miles long, con
necting what is to be the largest
port on tbe great lakes at Gary, In
diana, and tbe vast subway sytem
which E. H. Harriman proposes to
bore beneath Chicago to connect all
railroad lines came to light tonight.
Back ot the plans which have pro
gressed so far that even the most
optimistic are staggered, are the
railroad and lake navigation inter
ests that have long been negotiating
for a sight for deep water dockage
privileges between Twelfth and Fit
ty-fifth streets.
JNot until the backers or tbe pro
ject realized that their last hope ot
obtaining a site for these deep wa
ter docks was. about to be dealt a
death blow by the passage of the
Park bill in the Legislature did the
promoters ot the counter project
consent to remove tbe cloud ot se
crecy from their maneuver.
At Gary, Ind., the sic? of the
greatest works of the United States
Steel Corporation, tbe railroad and
navigation companies asserts,
freight and passenger terminal
tclipsing any port on the Great
Lakes will be established. From
this terminal, which will be utilized
as a clearing-house for east and
westbound lake and rail traffic, will
be constructed a four-track tunne.
beneath the waters of Lake Michi
gan that will communicate with the
projected Harriman eubway at
Twelfth street. Through the agency
of this subway the tunnel will have
access, to the railroad yards of every
trunk line railroad entering Cbi
oago. '
