OYSTER BAY. " July 1. President Roosevelt, in the first 10 days of his vacation, has succeeded In doing con siderable work in the fields and woods on his grounds at Sagamore Hill, be sides entertaining many visitors and holding conferences with Mr. Taft. His activity never halts. If there is no work on the grounds of his estate, he spends , his time In reading or in re creation in the form of tennis, horse back riding or rowing. Splendid weath er, though somewhat warm, has fa vored the President during the 10 days of his vacation. About the President's home on Saga more Hill are several fields, which this year grew good crops- of hay. Taking advantage of the fine weather for the hay-making, the President went into the fields today and helped to do the mowing and raking. The hay crop be ing harvested, the President turned his attention to the clearing of a stretch of woods, comprising about 40 acres, recently purchased by him to enlarge his estate. Works as AVoodsman. With his ax on his shoulder, accom panied by his attendant, also with an ax, the President this morning started out for a few hours' work at' tree chopping before receiving some gueste who had been Invited to Sagamore Hill for luncheon. Before noon he felled a number of trees, leaving only such as he desired to have stand to make the property correspond with his- estate ad joining. At lunch today the President enter tained S. S. McClure. Casper J. Whit ney and James Williams, the latter a member of the Taft campaign bureau. President Roosevelt today asked Sec retary Loeb to deny the report that he was negotiating for a site in New York City, on which he would build a city home. The statement made by Mr, Loeb was: Loeb Xails Huge Lie. With reference to the report published this morning that the President purposes to purchase the Union Theological Seminary property. Secretary Loeb said that there were certain stories started, which seemed to be even more remarkable for their ab surdity than for their sensationalism or mendacity. This particular story might just about as well have been that the presi dent intended to purchase the Parthenon and turn It Into a private residence. The president n but one house that at Oyster Bay and has not the -remotest In tention of building another anywhere. Until the president's attention was called to this story in the paper he not only had never heard It suggested, but he would not have believed that any human feeing would have put into type a statement so insane. Want Book on Africa. Since the announcement was pub lished that the. President would go on an extensive trip in Africa next April, magazine and book publishers have been besieging him for the rights to publish his experiences in either serial or book form. Today's visitors- Includ ed S. S. McClure and Caeper Whitney, the latter on his second visit inside of a week. This lias given rise to the re port that Mr. Whitney may accompany the President. It is known all the big publishers are making efforts to have the Presi dent write for them. Whether he has closed a deal with anyone cannot be learned, but it Is believed that he has a& yet made no decision in the matter. BARTNETT GIVEN LIMIT Ten-Year Term for Banker Who Took Trust Funds. SAN FRANCISCO, July 1. Walter J. Bartnett, formerly vice-president and general counsel for the Western Pacific Railroad, and vice-president and gen eral counsel for the California Safe Deposit & Trust Company, which failed in this city last November for about $9,000,000, was today sentenced to San Quentin Penitentiary for 10 years, by Superior Judge Conley. Bartnett was convicted of having hypothecated bonds and securities to the amount of $205,000 belonging to the estate of Ellen M. Colton. of which he was special ad ministrator. Bartnett, who has been at liberty for several weeks on $200,000 bail, was remanded into the custody of the sheriff, and his counsel immediately gave notice of apeal to the Appellate Court, and asked that Bartnett be given his liberty on bail pending the determi nation of the appeal. This was strong ly opposed by Assistant District At torney William Hoff Cook, but Judge Conley said ,he would receive an ap plication for Bartnetfs release this morning and would fix the bail at $200, 000. In passing sentence. Judge Conley declared that he could not agree with the Jury that Bartnett was entitled to the mercy of the court in having vio lated the faith and trust imposed in him as administrator of the Colton estate, and he therefore gave him the maximum penalty provided by law for the crime of embezzlement. Tortured by Mulnt Hafid. FEZ, Jun 24 (Wednesday).

Vorys, of Ohio," Mho, It Is Definitely Settled. Will Xot Be Appointed. WASHINGTON, July 1. After a long conference this afternoon between the Republican Presidential nominee and Arthur I. Vorys, of Ohio, Mr. Taft said: "Vou can say absolutely and definite ly that the chairmanship of the Repub lican National Committee has not yet been settled. No announcement of a decision as to the chairmanship will be made until after I have conferred at Hot Springs, Va., next Wednesday, with' the sub-committee of the National Com mittee. I hope this is sufficiently definite, and that my statement will be accepted." Mr. Taft has been urged strongly to select Mr. Vorys as his campaign man ager, but it is now definitely settled that he will not do so, though he enter tains for Mr. Vorys a high regard and much appreciates the part Mr. Vorys played in the preliminary campaign. At the conclusion of their conference today neither Mr. Taft nor Mr. Vorys would make any statement concerning details. Mr. Vorys went to New York tonight, and thence will go directly to Columbus, Ohio, arriving there some time Friday. This was Mr. Taft's first day as a private citizen tn many ypars. His res ignation as Secretary orf War became effective last midnight, and for 12 hours the American Government today was without a Secretary of War. Hold Final Conference. Prior to the formail induction into office of Governor Lufce E. Wright to day, Mr. Taft had a long consultation with him and with tte officials of the War Department about departmental affairs. At noon Governor" Wright took the oath of office as Seu-etary of War. Es corted by the retiring Secretary, William H. Taft, General Wright passed from the private office of the Secretary into the general reception-room. There, sur rounded! by prominent Army officers and officials of the War) Department, the oath was administered to Secretary Wright by John B. Randolph the veteran assistant to Chief Clerk Schotield, ol the depart ment. Mr. Randolph has administered the oath of office to four previous Secretaries of War, including Mr. Taft. An informal reception of the . bureau chiefs, division -chiefs and clerks of tho department and Army officers stationed in Washington was held in the Secre tary's private office by Mr. Toft and Secretary Wright. Luncheon Is Tendered Wright. Soon after the reception, Mr. Taft, ac companied by Secretary Wright, went to the home of General Clarence Edwards, chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, for luncheon.

KELLOGG' S SAME MENTIONED Prosecutor of Oil Trust May Be come National Chairman. NEW YORK, July I. There is a per sistent report here today that Frank B. Kellogg is to be chairman of the Repub lican National Committee. Mr. Kellogg went to Oyster Bay by automobile, ac companied by William L. Ward, commit teeman from this state, and had an inter view with President Roosevelt. Mr. Kellogg was smiling as he left Sag amore Hill and appeared to be much pleased over his talk with the President. After the conference at Sagamore Hill, Mr. Kellogg called on Secretary Loeb at the Executive Office in Oyster Bay. Mr. Kellogg's trip was made unan nounced. His absence from the Standard Oil hearing, however, occasioned some remarks and it was believed that the business responsible for his non-appearance was connected with the National chairmanship. BRYAN WORKS FOR REUNION (Continued From First Pare.) porarlly at least, reports that he fa vored Mr. Towne. "Mr. Towne is quoted as stating that you some time ago assured Mr. Towne that he would be acceptable to you; is that true?" Mr. Bryan was asked. Bryan's Skilful Evasion. "He meant that I was favorable to them," said Mr. Bryan, with stress on the last word, and with a wave of the arm indicated the galaxy of favorite sons whose names have been mentioned in connection with the nomination for a running-mate. Mr. Bryan is silent on all matters pertaining to probable action by the convention, in order to disarm, probable criticism on the score that he is attempting to dictate. So far as can be learned, Mr. Bryan will not have a telegraph wire in his house during the convention. He will depend on the wires being strung into a cottage 300 yards away for the con venience of newspaper correspondents. John M. Garman. a delegate from the Eleventh Pennsylvania district, paid his respects to Mr. Bryan today. Mr. Garman was chairman of the State Central Committee in 1896. News that Judge Gray would not accept the Vice Presidential nomination did not dis please the Pennsylvanian. "I don't believe Gray was the strong est man we could get. He bolted the Bryan ticket in 1896 and hsa been hold ing an appointive job under a Republi can administration. There are lots of us who haven't forgiven him for bolt ing. If he'd get back into the ranks of the party again and work for the common good, we might forget." Mr. Towne left Lincoln at 6 P. M. and is due at Denver at 7 A. M. tomorrow. Mayor Brown, of Lincoln, and Thomas Alien, Mr. Bryan's brother-in-law, were in conference with the Democratis leader at Fairview last night. "I have known Mr. Bryan intimately for years and am a delegate-at-large to Denver," said Mr. Brown today. "Yet Mr. Bryan has not intimated to me that he desires me to vote for any particular Viee-Presidentiai candidate. Personally, I am for Judge Gray. I believe he would be strong with tlm labor and with busi ness interests alike. I have seen it re peatedly stated that Mr. Towne claims that Mr. Bryan favors his candidacy. I believe, however, that Mr. Towne is mis taken. Mr. Bryan is supporting no one at present so far as his friends here know." When Mr. Bryan was shown the report that he was credited with favoring John B. Stanchfleld, of New York, for Vice President in the event that Judge Gray is not available, he said: "The Vice-Presidency is a matter I will not discuss." Many delegations on their way to "Den ver are expected to stop over and pay their respects to Mr. Bryan on Friday and Saturday. A movement has been started to have Mr. Bryan receive the notification committee at Fairview in the event of his nomination, but he refuses to talk on the subject before the convention has acted.

EXTRAVAGANCE IS FIRST Extracts From Speeches During Ses sion Deal Also With Finance, Tariff, Trusts, Federal Usur pation, Cannon's Tyranny. WASHINGTON, July 1. The Demo cratic Congressional committee has broken its record in the issuance of a hand-book four months be fore the Presidential election. The pub lication contains nearly 400 pages of extracts from speeches made in Con gress during the last session, most of them during the month preceding ad journment. The issuance of this pub lication is an innovation on the part of the committee and is in line with a similar publication put out by the Re publican committee four years ago. It is the work of Representative Lloyd, of Missouri, chairman of the Congress ional committee, and is composed exclu sively of Congressional speeches and consequently can be franked by mem bers of Congress. After the National convention the committee will issue its regular hand book as usual. The present publica tion by the Congressional committee, however, is of special interest in de nning what are believed at this time to be the issues of the campaign. . Extravagance and Finance. "Republican extravagance" is expect ed to be the keynote of the campaign. Representative Fitzgerald, of New York and Senator Culberson, of Texas, pro vided the material for this chapter In their speeches during the last days of the session. x "Financial conditions" form the sec ond subject in the book. Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, and Representatives Clark, of Missouri, and Houston, of Tennessee; Lloyd, of Missouri; James, of Kentucky ; Garrett, of Tennessee; and Hamlin, of Missouri; all contrib uted to this subject. A chapter "On the Tariff and the Trusts' occupies about 80 pages of the book. "Federal Usurpation," "Currency Re form," "Philippine Policy," "Tyranny of the Speaker and Rules Committee of the House of Representatives," "Repub lican Responsibility,' are all subjects considered at length. "The Alarming Conditions" that face the country are commented upon and the "publicity of campaign funds," a vindication of Judge Parker, a chapter on labor, the merchant marine, and the election of United States Senators by popular vote, conclude the category of subjects. The committee regards its chapter on "Republican Responsibility' as of es pecial importance and quotes a speech by Representative Sherman, of New York. Vice-Presidential candidate on the Republican ticket. The Republican Congressional com mittee probably will not issue its hand book before August 1. Cholera in Philippines. MANILA, July 1.

What is regarded As the very latest indication that Mr. Bryan does not contemplate changing his posi tion on the injunction question to meet the ideas of conservatives was brought to town today by Frank S. Monett, Re publican Attorney -General of Ohio from 1896 to 1900. 1 Mr. Mohett was in conference with Mr. Bryan at Lincoln yesterday,, as the re sult of which he says he will have Mr. Bryan's indorsement in appearing before the resolutions committee of the conven tion to state the legal and political rea sons why the injunction plank should pledge the Democratic party to amend ment of the law in these three particu lars: First, to prevent the Issuing of the writ in industrial disputes except after notice to defendants and full hearing. Second, to permit trial before a judge other than the one who Issues the writ, and, third, to allow a jury to be sum moned in all cases where the alleged contempt is committed outside the pres ence of the court. That Mr. Bryan has heretofore taken his stand on. an injunction plank con taining these elements is the statement today of Mr. Monett, and the fact that Mr. Bryan requested Mr. Monett to urge their acceptance by the resolutions com mittee is taken by the Ohloan to mean that Mr. Bryan will be satisfied with nothing leas. Having recently been the legislative at torney in Ohio for the Brotherhoods of Conductors, Engineers and Firemen, as well as having close contact with 'labor views through his legal connection with the miners and brickmakers in the Hock ing Valley strike of last February, Mr. Monett said today that he informed Mr. Bryan that President Roosevelt's ma jority from the industrial centers in Ohio and 500,000 in Pennsylvania was given be cause labor believed Mr. Roosevelt was with it, particularly on the injunction demand. OXLY HALF CROP IN GILLIAM Cold Weather Responsible Some Sections in Good Condition. CONDON, Or., July 1. (Special.) Reports from various sections of Gil Ham County regarding the wheat yield are conflicting, but in general it is be lieved that the crop will not be much more than a half. This is a conserva tive estimate, given by a wheat man who has been looking over the field carefully. In the sections of Clem and Gwendolen, this county, the crop will be a third less than last year. The grain has been damaged, not so much by hot winds, but by unusual cold snaps. Prospects In Mayvllle and Matney Flat districts are good, and unless un foreseen circumstances arise, the yield will be nearly equal to last year. 'The harvest is at least two weeks later than last year, and will not be general for about three weeks. At Olex, har vest will begin about July 10.

LENGTHEN CLOSED SEASON Stop Sunday Fishing, Prohibit Tak ing of Salmon Above Mouth of Willamette and Regulate Size of Meshes. "Stop fishing between August 25 and June 1," advisee Samuel Elmore, of As toria, who, as vice-president and general manager of the Columbia River Packers' Association, puts more Chinooks in tin cans and salt barrels than anybody on the river, who is salmon king of Tilla mook, CoqulUe, Alsea, Umpqua and Si letz, who operates Tillamook's boat line and who is the newspaper power of Astoria. "Give us also the closed Sunday, abol ish fishing above the Willamette River and regulate the size of the meshes, and we'll have all the salmon we want for generations to come." In such words did Mr. Elmore preach the salvation of the salmon Industry yes terday. Asked what he would do with the canneries between August 25 and June 1, he replied, "let em rust, as they are now doing." Asked what that meant, he paid: 'The salmon pack is between 30 and 40 per cent short" which means that the supply Is still going from bad to worse. Mr. Elmore came to Portland to present to Colonel Roessler, United States Engi neers, the case of the McGowans. packers of Chinook, Wash., who by planting their set nets in front of hie seining grounds for which he pays the Government $6000 a year rental make the seining grounds worthless and the $0000 so much waste money. Mr. Elmore outbid the McGow ans for the seining grounds and thinks that they should retire from the premises and have due regard for his tenancy of Uncle Sam's domain, just as Mr. Elmore retired from them three years ago, when outbid by the McGowans. But the Mc Gowans now contend that their seven or eight set nets, being below low tide mark, are outside Mr. Elmore's rented limits. But Mr. Elmore considers them obstruct tions to naglvation, and beyond the power of the McGowan's to place in Uncle Sam's water highway. This dis pute imposes on Colonel Roessler the duty of inspecting the premises, to deter mine whether the McGowan's are ob structing the highway. However, Mr. Elmore did not care to discuss this matter and he allowed the details to be pressed out of him unwill ingly, yet, like a true salmon king, he has opinions about protection of salmon, which many other kings will not accept. That far, he is like King Seufert, King Warren, King Hume, King Tallant and King Rosenberg. But as the biggest of them all King Elmore has opinions which are entitled to respectful consideration. He is willing to shut off April and May fishing and to close shop on Sunday. If salmon could be protected that muob. there would un doubtedly be big gains. He would not Rheumatism Is one of tbe constitutional diseases. It manifests Itself In local aches and pains. Inflamed joints and stiff muscles, bnt It cannot be cored by local applications.

But as for tne wheelmen he would abof Hsh their gear and prohibit all fishing above the Willamette river. Mr. Elmore's rivals say that is because he catches his fish below Willamette River, and this starts again the wrangle of the fish fac tions, which culminated last election day in enactment of conflicting laws, each proposed Dy a faction hostile to the one at which the law is aimed. Let that trouble rest for the present. It will not renew the wrangle to note th at Mr. Elmore feels the pressing ne cessity of salmon -protection, if the fish are to be saved from extermination, and that he urges two of the most important remedies closed Sunday and longer closed sea pon . -Want a Suit for Nothing? You cannot get it. It's a mighty difficult thing to get anything for nothing. You may think you are, some times, but you pay for it, all right. It is a fact that the nearest to getting a suit of tailored clothes for nothing is to take ad vantage of the special 25 per cent discount we are making on every piece of mate rial in our shop. It makes no difference what we have sold these goods for, they go to you at the 25 per cent discount. We ac tually cannot afford to do this, from a business standpoint, but we must, that's all.
