LONG FILIBUSTER FEARED Roo.-cvclt Men Arrayed Against Proposal While Entire Body Is Anxious to Close I'p Its Busi ness and Adjonrn. OREGONIAM NEWS BUREAU, Wash. Ington. May 21. A tnreatened filibus ter probably will prevent the passage at the present session of the pending Works resolution proposing a consti tutional amendment reatrlcting the Presidential term to six years, and making Presidents Ineligible for a sec ond term. Congress is in a mood to close up Its business and adjourn. If a majority in the Senate can have its way, and the disposition Is to sidetrack all legislation that Is likely to lead to unlimited debate. The Presidential term amendment, if brought up for consideration, would most certainly be met with prolonged opposition, notwithstanding it was fa vorably reported by the Judiciary com mittee by an almost unanimous vote. Senator Borah, of Idaho, waa tha only Senator on the committee to vote against it. Rooaevelt Men Oppose. Every Roosevelt man in the Senate Is arrayed against this resolution, not particularly because they are opposed to the principle of restricting Presi dents to one term, but because they do not wsnt Congress to go on record as favoring such a change at a time when they believe the Colonel stands a splendid chance of being nominated by the Chicago convention. The paasage of such a resolution, they fear, would redsce his chancea of nomination, and If nominated, would Impair prospects in the November election. Therefore, they will Institute a filibuster to kill off the resolution. If It Is brought up for consideration in the Senate. Representstive Slayden. of Texas, of fered in the House a resolution about two months ago, declaring against a third term for any President. That was at the time Roosevelt was getting actively Into the campaign. But after the resolution had been launched, the Democratic leaders quickly smothered it. becsuse it was believed that Its pas sage by the Democratic House, even though It went no further, would be a confession to the country that the Democrats feared Rooaevelt more than they feared Taft or any other Repub lican Presidential possibility, and the Democratic leaders did not care to make any such announcement in that manner. Now the scene of activity, with re gard to the Presidential term, has been transferred to the Senate, with a splen did prospect of a long and probably successful filibuster II me worns res olution is pressed. Senator Borah, of Idaho, a strong Roosevelt man, has vlrtuall announced that this resolu tion will be met by a filibuster if its proponents urge its adoption, and other Roosevelt Senators are of the same opinion, and are understood to be ready to Join In a filibuster In order to pre vent a vote being taken. Ordinarily, such a filibuster might prove unavailing, but for the fact that Congress is growing anxious about ad journment, and many Senators who would like to limit Presidents to one term would prefer to adjourn rather than spend another hot Summer in Washington fighting over a question like this. It is now less than a month to the Chicago convention, and It will be a comparatively easy matter to hbld back this resolution until after June 18. If It does not pass the Senate by that day. It probably will be alIowc to go over until the next session. Taft Favors One Term. The question of restricting the Presi dential term is one that lends Itself to protracted discussions In the Senate, and much legitimate discussion at that. For instance, if It be agreed that the Presidents should be restricted to one term, the question then arises, how long shall that term be? The Works resolution fixes six years. There are some Senators who believe four years is enough: others talk of five years, and still others of seven or eight. President Taft himself has suggested a single term of six or seven years. Roosevelt's friends in Congress are not fearful that any legislation could be enacted which would make Impos if Cold SealI .: c V-;'' ti.sr -fir,y '-',. - fcaciSlivieWiaiS.

NEW YORK. May 21. A copy of a telegram sent by Henry O. Havemeyer to Samuel C. Hooker, his personal agent at Denver, was Introduced today In the Government's dissolution suit against the so-called sugar trust by Assistant Dls'rict Attorney Knapp, to support the charge that Havemeyer had prepare! to crush by competition the independent sugar plant of the Greeley Sugar Company, then building. The telegram read: "Go to Greeley and secure a good site on options." Chester S. Morey, of Denver, chief agent of Havemeyer in acquiring con trol of Colorado companies, testified that the site was procured, and not long after this Havemeyer bought an interest in the Greeley Company. A letter from Hooker to Havemeyer, writ ten November 22, 1902, was then intro duced. It suggested that Havemeyer rent the site for pasturage for a year and said that 4 per cent net return could be realized if this was done. The history of the companies was traced up to when they were merged in 1905 into the Great Western Sugar Company of New Jersey, and to their dissolution into separate corporations In April. 1907. "Wasn't the elimination of competi tion In the purchase of beets the prin cipal object or this consoiiaaiion : asked Mr. Knapp. "That .was one of the objects." Mr. Morey said there was never any competition among tne coioraao iac Tories. "Our competition comes chiefly from the manufacturers In Utah and Cali fornia," he added.
