HE DD NOT RAISE THE ISSUE Now That It Is Up He is in the Hands of His Friends, NO BEQUESTS FOR SUPPORT President Is Deeply Touched by the Action of HcKlnley'a County In Instructing So Heartily In His Fnvor. WALL STREET BACK OK HANXA. : OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington. Mar 25. Roosevelt's closest friends In Washington as well as those who are not particularly friendlr with him acknowledge that It . Is the great financial interests of New York that are doing their utmost to defeat Rooeevelt and are behind this latest movement In Ohio. What the result will be Is not yet known, but It Is ecknowledned that Hanna will have to exert Kreater Influence than be ever used before to prevent the Foraker programme from being carried out. WALLA WALLA. Wash., May 25. (Spe cial.) Secretary to the President Loeb to day gave out the following statement: "In speaking of the sudden political de velopments in Ohio, the President this afternoon said: ' I have not asked any man for his support. I have had nothing whatever to do with raising the issue as to my in-' dorseroent Sooner or later, it was bound to arise; and inasmuch as It has now arisen, of course thoxe f avorjgjyiOd mlnlstration and my nomination wih in dorse them, and those who do not will oppose.' "The President also said he was deeply touched by the action of President Mc Klnley's home county. In which Canton is situated, in instructing so heartily in his favor. Nothing could have pleased him more." HAXXA'S METHODS DESPERATEL 'With Hlra It Is Taft, or Anybody, to Beat Roosevelt. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. May 25. Underlying the opposition of Senator Hanna to an indorsement of President. Roosevelt by the Ohio State Convention is no doubt the desire on the part of many Republicans, especially those in closo touch with Hanna and of his sympathizers, to prevent the nomina tion of Roosevelt, if possible, next year. The strong fight Hanna is making in creases the probability that" the talk about making Taft the candidate in place of Roosevelt has some foundation, and that Hanna and those who are with blm In this matter would feet that Ohio would be badly handicapped If Roosevelt were In dorsed, should an attempt be made to bring out Taft as a favorite son of that state in the convention. It Is not prob able that Hanna himself has any hopes of success, as he must know what every other man knows, that were he to defeat Roosevelt for the nomination a great out er' would be made against the domina tion of the capitalistic class in the Repub lican convention. At all events, whether it is Taft or some other man, there is a desire on .the part of many Republicans to prevent Roosevelt's nomination, and for that reason uninstructed delegates and failure to Indorse in convention are be ing urged by them at all times. PEOPLE ARE ALL "WITH HIM. Chairmen of State Committees Say Roosevelt Is the Only Man. NEW YORK. May 25.-Speclal.) The. New York World today prints a number of Interviews with chairmen of state com mittees, most of whom favor Roosevelt. George W. Dunn, of the New York com mittee, says: "The last convention of the Republican party indorsed Roosevelt's Administration and pledged him its support In 1901. Up to this time there is no reason why that pledge should not be fullfllled." Harley, of Indiana, says that state is for Fairbanks for President. Cutler, of California, says the sentiment of his state is strongly for Roosevelt. Diekem says the convention In Feb ruary pledged Michigan's support for Roosevelt In ISM, and the resolution meets with universal approval. Simpson, of Maine, says the Republi cans of that state are practically unani mous In their support of President Roose velt for the nomination. Anderson, of Utah, says Roosevelt -was universally Indorsed last year. Borches, of Tennessee, says sentiment Is unanimous for Roosevelt, and the Re publicans will Instruct for him next year. ; Barnett, of Kentucky, says his state will Indorse Roosevelt for nomination .at the state convention in July. Albaugh says Kansas is unequivocally for Roosevelt. Farley, of "Colorado, says the state will Indorse Roosevelt on every occasion 'and be solid for him In 1904. Van Orsdaler of Wyoming, says Roose velt Is stronger In the West than any other possible candidate, and Wyoming- is unanimous in favor of him. Some Southern States, like Alabama, are divided, the Lily Whites wanting Hanna. Georgia is In the same boat. PL ATT THINKS HAXNA IS RIGHT. As National Chairman He Shoald Not Declare for Anyone. NEW YORK. May 25. (Special.) Sena tor Piatt, of New York, has been Inter viewed upon the subject of Hanna's oppo sition to Roosevelt, and says: "Senator Hanna meant exactly what he said. Senator Hanna is not a candidate for the nomination. It Is right that as chairman of the Republican National Committee he should not declare for any one. I believe that personally he favors the nomination of President Roosevelt, although as chairman - of- the National committee he should not say so." Piatt was then asked what he thought of Foraker's eagerness to have the Ohio convention declare for Roosevelt's nomi nation, and replied: "I guess they are both for Roosevelt, but they are trying to see which can be for him first" The Senator's attention was called to a statement credited to President- Roose velt that he could be re-elected without tho electoral vote of New York. "I agree with him," Senator Piatt re plied, "but New York will nominate him; he will carry New York State, and he will be re-elected. The only trouble in New York Is in the City of New York. Down In Wall 'street they .disagree with' the President on the trust question, but I be lieve that any votes Roosevelt may lose on that account will bexmore than made up by the votes of those who do agree with him. Perhaps. Mr. Bryan's friends will make up the deficiency." Asked if he believed Cleveland might be the Democratic nominee against Roose velt, Senator Piatt said: "I don't know. Anyway, It will be easy for New York to choose between Roose velt and a man of the stamp of Cleveland." POSSE I Til Police' Have Clew to Fleeing Murderer.

Drews, Sunday morning and leaving an- hour later his two infant children at the'hom'e.gf.'.C. R. Richards, tear the county gravel "pit,' no reliable report of the murderer's where abouts was received until .10 o'clock last night, when O. Paulson, a- farmer resid ing on the Slough road, north of Glen wood station and two miles down, the Co lumbia River from the Vancouver ferry landing, telephoned Captain of Detectives Simmons that he had fed the murderer and his wife.- At 10 o'clock last night, Mr. Paulson tel ephoned Captain of Detectives Simmons, at police headquarters, that a man, whom he believed was Leasla, accompanied bya-pale-faced and sickly woman, bad-rested and dined at his home. Visit the Paulson Home. 'Mr. Paulson said: "The couple came to my house at 0 o'clock, and the man in quired the way to a Mr. Wagner's house, whom he described to be a dairyman. I told him I knew no one living near my farm by that name. -whereupon, he said that ie and his wife were very hungry and asked, for something to! eat. I .told' him wo -would gladly accommodate him. and; he and the woman came In. He talked freely,' and noticing the, telephone. Inquired whether we- could communicate with the different business houses lnthe city. I told him we could. He then asked If we received the daily papers, and I an swered In the affirmative. "When I questioned hlmi about his home, he told me that he lived in Van- vcouver, and. that he and his wife had! started -from there to visit their friend.; Mr. Wagner. Supper having- been pre-; pared, he said little more, ' but at once seated himself at the table. He afevvery' heartily. His wife ate a little, but did not seem to enjoy the meal. She had nothing to say whatever He told me that he had! no money, but that If he evec saw me again, when he had any money, he would' amply repay me. , j he was the murderer, of -whom I had read in the morning paper and picking up The Oregpnian I noted the description given by the police, which tallied with the ex 'ceptlon that the left ear bore no evidence, of having been cut. This alone prevented, me from endeavoring to capture him.. The woman seemed downhearted. She was. pale, and looked as though sne had been sick.! She, too, answered Mrs. Leasla's descrip; Hon very well, with .the exception, of a mackintosh cape- abop't her shoulders and. a white fascinator upon her bead. She! wore a dark purpler wrapper with round, flowers 'figured In. the cloth. "When he had finished eating they both; arose to. leave. It was about 9:15 -o'clock.' They passed out Into the darkness-toward i the gate. Refuses Hospitable Offer. "The thought then struck, me that If I could persuade them to remain during the night that I might be able to Identify the man as the murderer and I rushed to the door and called to him. I called three' times before he answered arid then he replied from near the fence, having evi dently missed the pathway to the gate. I told him that - it Tvais too bad a night for him to look, for his friend and asked him to-.remain over night with us, telling him we could make room for him and. his' wife. He replied that they could not stay but would return to the Vancouver ferry and go to Vancouver, then bidding me good night he passed through the gate with the woman and disappeared in the darkness, I was in my "stocking feet, having started to retire when the strangers called or I should have followed them. From the de scription in the paper, I nowJbel!eve that my visitor was no other than the mur derer." From the time that Leasla and his wife left the Richards' house at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, nothing was eeen of the couple until late In the evening when they were seen going in a northerly di rection in a wooded tract north of Wood lawn, near the Vancouver electric car line. The couple answered the descrjp- tltms and :Oolceaoaf abrieL mouniea, pairuneu una crcbuvu uu..a night without results. At . one time Sunday afternoon the couple waa reported to be in Love's grove. If they were there, the officers missed them, for after a chase they caught a young man, who, with his sweetheart and a large basket, was en Joying Sunday in the grove. Compels His Invalid Wife to Walk. If credence is given to the reports re ceived by the police since the murder, Leasla haa compelled his Invalid wife to walk many miles further than It was believed she would be able to stand. Reports are that the .couple were first seen at the Richards' home, three-quarters pf a mile east of the scene of the tragedy, at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. They were next reported on Sunday after noon at Love'a Grove, a mile and a half (Concluded on. Second Page.) WILL BE APPOINTED BISHOP WHEN ARCHDIOCESE OF OREGON CITY IS DIVIDED. REV- CIIAT1LES J.
