SHOVVTHAT LETTER?
NO, SIR! SAYS ELLIS
Proud as Mrs. Woodcock, He
Reads Aloud Sentence From
Roosevelt Missive.
REST IS SACRED, HE SAYS
II Wooldnt Tell for $1000 Wha(
All It Contents Are If a
Matter Between He and
T. It.," He Declare.
Enveloped in a base of,mrtrT and
rest Important. J. T. Kills allowed a
representative of Th. Oregonlan yes
terday to tui at the salutation and
the alfmaturo of the letter whloh he
received from Theodore Roosev.lt and
which Is said to discus, the Colonel's
candidacy (or the Republican Presi
dential nomination, but Into the body
of the communication the reporter was
not allowed to penetrate.
Instead Mr. Ellis iwtinf himself
back In a swivel chair, cleared his
throat and Informed the reporter that
he mlifht quote the following, which
be said was from the letter:
"My dear Mr. Ellis I thank yon for
your kind and friendly letter. Is there
any chance of your belnjr In New Tork
soon? I should arrsatlr Ilka to see
you."
After some hesitation the Roosevelt
boomer said:
"The rest of this letter Is not at all
discouraging to the continuance of my
efforts to carry this stats for Roose
velt In the primary."
"There doesn't seem to be room for
very much more between what you
have read and the signature. Mr. Ellis
was told. "Hadn't you better show the
rest of that letter, because. If you do
not. people will naturally Jump to the
conclusion that It Is merely a form
letter?"
Catsat. Not Disclosed.
T wouldn't take f 1000 and show the
rest of that letter to anybody." was
the reply.
The communication was WTtlten
from the office of Theodore Roosevelt
In the Outlook offices at III Fourth
avenue. New York, under date of Jan
uary Is. The signature Is undoubtedly
that of Mr. Roosevelt. If there was
anything between what Is quoted
above and the formal ending- of a na
ture tending to confirm the reports of
Colonel Roosevelt's candidacy it must
hare been said In few words, beeauis
there was not spacs for more than a
brief statement.
Colonel Roosevelt's official station
ery Is pf ths same style and only
slightly larger than that In ordinary
family us and the signature is about
at th middle of the pag-a. Add to this
the facts that hla stenographer's type
writer Is double-spaced and that Colo
nel Roosevelt Invariably concludes his
letters with some such statement as, "I
be ir. sir. to remain very respectfully
yours." which Is destructive of space,
and ths room left for ths ez-Presl-dent's
alleged confidential statement Is
small Indeed.
Ob Past Is Blaak.
When a remark along that line was
made to Mr. Ellis, hs said:
"There are two pages to this letter."
"In that case why did Colonel Roose
velt sign It about the middle of, the
first page?" he was asked, and no
reply was forthcoming.
As a matter of fact there are two
pages to the letter, but the second on
Is blank.
The communication from Mr. Ellis
which drew forth Colonel Roosevelt's
reply is dated January . In It Colo
nel Rooseevlt Is Informed that peti
tions In his favor are In circulation in
this state and Mr. Ellis declares that
he can get two votes to every one for
either Taft or La Follette. The writer
also expresses the conviction that. If
Tsft or La Follette gets the nomina
tion, the Democrats will carry ths
state.
Mr. Ellis Is exhibiting the following
night letter which hs received Tues
day: "Chicago, January 23. Hon. J. T.
Kills. Couch building. Portland. Or.:
Knowing confidentially your atttlude,
the National Roosevelt committee de
sires your ssststance In Its efforts to
crystallise the sentiment for Theodore
Roosevelt and make the demand for
his candidacy so strong that he will
be forced to act as ths standard bear

at once the situation in your state, the
names of men willing to labor la the
cause and suggestions that you may

No mention Is made of the two sons,

Ralph Shaver Wittenberg, aged It.
The young men joined with their
mother In asking that the will be pro
bated. Mr. Wittenberg directed that all his
stock and bond holdings be sold as
soon as such can be done without sacri
fice. He was the owner of (140
shares of the capital stock of the Pa
cific Coast Biscuit Company, and bonds

ue of 1114.000 of the American Biscuit

DEPORTATION NOW EASIER
Supreme Court Decision Permits
Department to Send Chinese Back.
"Deportation of Chinamen illegally
In this country now is simple." ssld
J. H- Barbour, Immigration Inspector,
"as t ie derision of the United States
Pupreme Conrt last Monday aays
Chinese, ltke any other foreigners, may
ba deported by ths order of ths Secre
tary of Commerce and Labor, and are
not entitled to have a judicial deter
mination first under the Chinese exclu
sion act of their right to remain in
this country.
"The case In which this was decided
has been before ths court for several
years and arose In ths northern- dis
trict of New York. It grew, out of a
usual proceeding by the Department to
deport a Chinaman, and after it had
ordered the deportation a habeas cor
pus proceeding was started in the
United States District Court, as Is cus
tomary In similar cases on the Pacific
Coast. Ths constitutionality of the act
of Congreaa creating the Department
and giving It such deportation powers
was directly attacked and the ultimata
Importance of ths suit was fully apprs
clate by both th Department and Chi
nese Influences, as It has the effect of
an Interpretation of the Chinese exclu.
ston act that overrides one of Its fea
tures on which the Chlness have al
ways taken their cases Into the Federal
courts. Under ths decision this cannot
be dons In the future and Chinese can
be deported on the final deelalon-Ot the
Secretary like any other foreigners.
"Hundreds of Chinamen bavs been
wrongfully admitted Into the country,
by this process In the past, and thsrs
are now a number of cases pending be
fore the courts that will bo dismissed
and Chinamen now out on ball trying
to become good witnesses for them
selves will be deported without further
ceremony."

should like to contribute my "mite" to
alleviate their unhappy circumstances.
I have little time or skill for disburs

comprehend my meaning) your almoner
dispensed the funds left with The Ore
gonlan at the Christmas time. I take
the liberty of sending you $50 knowing
that It will be distributed with pains
taking wisdom.
This Is solely for families of little,
children with widowed mothers, or with
sick fathers. I should suggest supply

Is warm. It can get along with a sur
prisingly small amount of food, and
the cost of good plain living Is not
great if poor people knew how to "bake

my protection.
