"My memory Is that I did." "Do you remember when you did not pay personal taxes In Oyster Bay?" "Yes. I paid them in New York while j I was police commissioner." "How long were you police commia- i Bioner?" . 5 "I was on the police force for two S years." J "Are you prepared to (wear you paid personal taxes either in New York or j Oyster Bay in 18D7?" S "I remember nothing about it." !T "Do you remember making: an affl- J davit in 1898 about your New York tax " assessment?" ! t "Yes. I made it in "Washington." 5 "You made an interlineaion in this j (affidavit?" j "Yes." ' The affidavit was identified by Colonel Koosevelt and read. an it Colonel $ Roosevelt said that since 1S97 he had J iot lived in New York, and that he was then a resident of Washington. J Glvins then read sectioin 2. article 4, of the state constitution, which pro j vides that a person is not eligible for j the Governorship unless he for five years continuously had been a resident I of New York state. J "When you read the constitution of t the state, did you see anything- about ) eligibility for the Governorship?" "I don't remember. I 'guess I did." I "1 now call your attention," Ivins went on, "to a paper signed by Sec- retary of War Alger. It is a commis sion or lieutenant-Colonel of Volun- teers g: you in 1898. In this it says he is described t Washington." ..alter of fact, Mr. Roose lvins. "did you nmk sn Colonel as a ii "Now. . velt." .saiu 5 affidavit in 1S97 in Oyster Bay that t you Veie a resident of New York?" S "I do not remember. But I did" be . come a resident of New York at that g period." Mr. Ivins produced a photograph of a letter which Colonel Roosevelt iden- tified as his. It was addressed to John J. Chapman. In it the Colonel said that i lf be were nominated for Governor it r "uuia ue on tne same ticket with other - - - uuici viiiuca, xie aauea, if elected Governor he would strive to j serve the state and his party and that o would like the aid of independents, j He said he could not accept a ion- ination on terms. The withdrawal of Frank Black from the race for the Governorship was dis C cussed also. There was this sentence S In the letter: j "A Governor can only be elected by a great effort on the part of the ma- chine." It was also said that the writer had s been informed that "you (Colonel S Roosevelt) would play he devil with t the organization." J The witness Joined in the laughter. Question of Taxea Raised Again. i Mr. Ivins returned to the question of I taxes. Colonel Roosevelt said: ; "After I returned from the Spanish j War in 1898 I found that my taxes had c not been paid. My uncle, James A. I Roosevelt, was supposed to pay them, ; but he died before he had the oppor- tunity. When I gof, back from Cuba, S the books had been closed, so I could S not pay the taxes." t "Do you remember writing to your S Cousin John, in New York, in 1898, ask 5 ing him whether you had to pay 'these S personal taxes' if you were a resident Z of Washington and not of New York?" i "I do," the Colonel replied. ; The letter was read.- In it Colonel Koosevelt said: J "I do not want to seem to snake out of anything, so rather than lose my 1 Vote. I'll pay the penalty." "What did you mean by pay the pen- alty?" asked Mr. Ivins. J "I meant that the tax commissioners 2 bad taken advantage of me and under 2 ordinary circumstances I would have contested the assessment. I was busy I -when I wrote that letter. The Maine i bad been blown up and I was busy as j sisting in preparing the Navy for war." Z Stand Taken for "RlKkteonsnm." 4 Mr. Ivins referred again to -Colonel ; Ttoosevelt's commission as a Lieuten- 5 ant-Colonel. S "The only thing I swore to In that," t eaid the Colonel, "was that I would be i loyal to the United States Government, t The statement there about my being a President of Washington was written by S some clerk. They knew I was Assist ! ant Secretary of the Navy and was llv- inar in Washington. I never saw the mention of Washington in that paper oerore loaay. ' "Did " you Intend to stand by Piatt and Odell when the Republican ma -chine nominated you?" ;- "Yes, as long as they went straight. '(They knew I would stand for everybody !:as long as they were honest. They ( knew I would stand for no dishonesty. '.; "Do you stand for righteousness ! ith due regard for opportunism?" J "I do not. I stand for righteousness I and I always have." :: "Does that apply to Mr. Barnes?" "Oh, yes." ; -"Did it in 1912?" . "It did not," thundered the Colonel ! In reply and the crowd roared with ; laughter. j Letter From Quigg Is Read. !: A letter written to Colonel Roosevelt i by Lemuel Eli Qulgg, September 10 ! 1S98. was introduced in evidence. It I "read: i "My Dear Mr. Roosevelt The Senator '. Piatt) thinks that you should come to 3 New York on Wednesday or Thursday I of next week. The Senator says that ; he Is going to make one more effort to Induce Governor Black to withdraw. He does not mean that he will offer him ! any terms, but simply that he will try i to convince him that, injustice to bim- self, not less than the Republican party, ! he should get out of the way. All these j stories that you may have read about ; attempted dickers with Black by which, as the price of his withdrawal, he is to : be sent to the Senate are falsehoods. No other consideration has been at any : time suggested to him than that he is ; not the man for this particular occa sion. ! "And now he (Piatt) has made up his mind and is ready to take his position Perhaps since your interview with him ; is to so shortly take place It might , be well for me to repeat to you pre- ; ctsely the report I made to him of your : attitude on my return from Montauk. Promise Made for Colonel "I told him that you said that" you would like to be nominated;' that you V ' A" understood perfectly that If you were nominated that it would be as a result of his support; tli"t you were not the sort of man who . oulU accept a nom ination directly out of the hands of the organization without realizing the obligation thereby assumed to sustain the organization and to promote and and uphold it justly; that if you were Governor you would not wish to be anything else than Governor; that you would not wish to be a figurehead or to accept any position before the pub lic or in your own mind which was not in keeping with the dignity of the of fice or which would not allow you to discharge your duties in the light of your judgment and conscience, but that you would take the office, if at all. In tending in good faith to act the part of his friend personally and politically; to acknowledge and respect his posi tion as the head of the Republican or ganization and as the Republican Sen ator from the State of New xork; that vou would not be led into any fac tional opposition to the organization, but that on the contrary, you would aim constantly to make its interest identical with the public Interests; that you would confcult with the Senator freely and fully on all important mat ters. T. R. Warned Against Overambttion. "I said that you would adopt no line of policy and agree to no important matter or nomination without previous oonsultation and that you wanted him to agree to the same thing on nis pari. I told him that you said that it would be prateful to you to have Mr. Odell or some man of similar position near you in Albany, and finally, that while in the end, a an honest man, you would have to act on your best Judgment, and in the light of your oath, you would seek with him to keep the party united ana tne organization intact. Please do not feel annoyed with me if I do a little preaching. Even in my short period of observation I have seen so many able men who have brought themselves forward to im portant and powerful positions finally fall down and wander off into political retirement that I have looked into the cause of it, and have always found substantially the same state of facts. They have been brought forward by the organization, promoted by the or gai ization, sustained by the organiza tion, developed by the organization, until the idea became virtually fixed in their minds that they were the 'whole thing.' This notion, first inspired Dy mug wump flattery and then expanded by their own ambitions, has carried them into opposition with Senator Piatt ana into attempts to establish new ma chines of their own. Then came the end. They have collapsed because they allowed themselves to get out of joint with that general party sentiment which has gradually centered around Piatt as a leader. "Poisonous Hutwuri" Feared. "The thing I fear is that these plaus ible and poisonous mugwumps will at some time or other involve you In some of their 'good government' entangle ments, intended, as they always are, 10 hi.in thn Democratic party and to cre ate dishonest prejudices against decent Republicans." Colonel Roosevelt's reply, aaiea. Sep tember 12, 1898, in part was as follows: "Your representation of what 1 saia was substantially correct, that is, it gave just the spirit. But I don't like the wording of some or your sentences. At first, on account of this, I hesitated how to reply, but finally came to the conclusion that the last sentence of your 'report' covered tho whole matter sufficiently. I wish you could have brought out the tact that these state ments were not in the nature of bids for the nomination or pledges by me. and that you made no effort to exact any pledges, but that they were state ments which I freely made when you asked me what my position would be if nominated and elected. "I know that you did not In any way wish to represent me as willing to con sent to act otherwise than in accord ance with my conscience." MANITOU LOSS EXPLAINED Fifty From Troopship Die When Life Boat Upsets in Mediterranean. LANDON. April 22. Thomas J. Mc Namara, parliamentary secretary to the Admiralty, replying to a question put by Admiral Lord Charles Beres ford, explained in the House of Com mons today the recent loss of more than 50 lives from the British trans port Manitou off the coast of Chios in the Mediterranean. The transport Manitou, Mr. McNa mara said, was bearing troops when she was stopped by a TurKish torpedo boat which gave the troops eight minutes to leave the ship and then fired two torpedoes which missed the vessel. British torpedo-boat destroy ers pursued the Turkish warship and she was beached. In the meantime lifeboats of the Manitou had upset, which resulted in the casualties mentioned. -V7-J Photo by Bain News Service. C01.01NEI. THKUDUHG KOOSEVELT. POLES IfJ DIRE NEED Seven Million Suffer Hunger in War-Swept Country. ARMY GARBAGE IS EATEN Two Million of Number Are Jews Who Are JTot Treated Fairly in Relief From Warsaw and Aus tria Also Is Accused. LONDON, April 22. Seven million Poles, of whom 2.000.000 are Jews, are in dire need of food. This statement was made today by Herrmann Laundau, a Jewish philanthropist associated with various Jewish charities in London. "Of these sufferers, 6,500,000 are east of the "Vistula River and 1,500,000 west of the river," Mr. Laundau said. "The Jews are even poorer than the Gen tiles, because of the boycott against the Jews in parts of Poland before the beginning of the war, which impover ished thousands who otherwise would have been able to provide for their families. 'Political and religious prejudice against the Jews slso renders their condition worse. In parts of Poland evacuated by the Germans many Jews are living on potato peels and garbage left by the enemy. 'The citizens committee at Warsaw is the only large ageny for affording relief for refugees. Although the mem bership of this committee consists of four Jews and six gentiles, it has been impossible to employ workers who would deal fairly with the Jews. Con sequently, another committee has been organized under the chairmanship of Baron Gunzurg to administer relief without regard to religious faith. "Several hundred refugees from Po land, who are well to do, made their way to London by way of Petrograd. r Inland, Sweden and Norway. They brought terrible stories of the suffer ings of the Poles in the ruined cities and devastated country. "The Russian government has been considerate in its treatment of Jews in the portions of Poland occupied by Russian troops, but the Jews are suf fering greatly from persecution in the portion of Galicia which Austria still holds, as Austria suspects all Poles of disloyalty. . I hear that Americans are rallying to aid the Poles and. I know that their needs will be eupplied when the world realizes how terrible is their plight. Communication with Poland and Gali cia is so difficult that it is impossible for the world to learn immediately of the awful suffering there. ALLIES SHORT OF DRUGS Blockade Prevents Obtaining of Sup plies From German Sources. LONDON, April 4. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) The block ade of Germany by the allies will pre vent England and France from getting German drugs through the medium of the United States, according to the Lancet. Already phenacetin and ace tinalid are four times their former price and phenazone has doubled. While cocaine is more than double its pre war quotation, this cannot be consid ered abnormal, in view of the enor mous demand. It is difficult at this time to supply the medical departments of the allied armies with morphine and codine, es pecially as the supply of Turkish opium has been cut off. However, , a good supply' of opium is obtainable from Persia and India. Stocks of atrophine are low and the prices correspondingly high. Chloral hydrates and the bromides have dou bled in price since the war. Land Grant Arguments Postponed OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, April 22. The Oregon & Call fornia land grant case was not reached in the Supreme Court today, but argu ment probably will begin tomorrow and then be suspended until Monday, as the court does not sit on Saturdays. Both sides will ask for an extension of time and as Monday is opinion day it is probable the argument in this case may not be concluded until Tuesday. Santiseptlo Boon to Motnars.

IT WASHINGTON CONCERNED Enforcement of Kuio Iixpected to Be Made by Assertion of Right to Destroy Vessels Pressure . on Allies Nullified. BERLIN, via London, April 22. Amendments to the prize rules govern ing the operations or the German navy signed by limperor William and Admir al von Tirpitz, are published in the Relchs Anzeiger. - They are designed as a "reprisal for the decision made by England and her allies contravening the Declaration of London of February 26, 1909." Under the new order field glasses, nautical instruments, pig lead, aero planes, coal and coke are made abso lute contraband. Several other com modities are added to the list of con ditional contraband, including wool, rubber, iron and several other ores. The regulation prescribes that these articles shall be assumed conditional contraband destined for the enemy if consigned "to order to a person whose name does not appear in the ship's papers, or a person in the enemy's ter ritory." In such a case, it is provided that a ship shall be liable to capture even if bound for & neutral port. The order directs also that condition al contraband may be confiscated with out regard to the consignee when a ship is destined for a neutral country, from which the nations at war ' with Germany obtain articles of the kind in question. WASHINGTON IS APPREHENSIVE New Rule Thought to Embarrass Neutrals in Efforts With Allies. WASHINGTON. April 22. Press dis patches from Berlin announcing im portant amendment to German prize rules were noted at the State Depart ment today with some concern. 1 While officials will await the text of these amendments before making any statements for publication, ap prehension is expressed privately that if the new rules are correctly out lined in the dispatches, they mark a noteworthy advance by Germany to wards the absolute exclusion of neu tral commerce from the high seas. This comes, it is pointed out. Just at the moment when all of the neutral powers have been bringing pressure to bear on the allied powers to abate the severity of the blockade rules and prize laws, as embodied in the recent British orders in council. Difficulty in maintaining the right of neutral nations to ship conditional contraband to other neutral powers is foreseen by officials, as a result of adoption of a German prize rule of the same provision as that in the British orders in council regarding goods con signed "to order,' over which there has been so ranch discussion. The United States Government has held consistently that this usual com mercial procedure is perfectly legiti mate and that before goods consigned 'to order" can be seized the belliger ent government attempting to make the seizure must assume the burden of proof that the goods are unneutral or are intended for the enemy's gov ernment. Officials are even more concerned over the reported new German rule that a ship with conditional contra band bound -for a neutral port shall be liable to capture and that the con ditional contraband may be confiscated without regard to consignee when the ship is destined for a neutral country from which the nations at war with Germany obtain conditional contra band articles. Since submarines alone of the Ger man naval craft are able now to nav igate the open seas, it is supposed that enforcement of this rule would be ac complished by assertion of right to destroy ships and cargo on the plea of inability to take them into port A reflection of the views of the American Government on th subject probably will appear in the note to be addressed to Germany in regard to the case of the American ship Wil liam P. Frye, which was sunk in the South Atlantic by the German cruiser Prlnz Eitel Frfedrich. The State Department has had under consideration for some time the last German proposition to send this case before a prize court and to pay for the ship and cargo if the facts de veloped were those stated in the United States note of complaint. Because a condition of acceptance of this offer is recognition of the continued existence in full effect of the old treaty of trade and .commerce between the United States and Prussia of 1828, the answer has been delayed In order to make sure that such an admission in regard to the treaty would not seri ously injure the claims of the United States to reparation on other accounts. Extension of the German prize rules probably will. result in hastening the dispatch of the reply. FUND CONFISCATION URGED Lord Beresford Suggests Use of Ger man Assets in. England. LONDON.

CRANKS SEEK KITCHENER Woman With Life Line Idea, Typical of Callers at War Office. LONDON, April 4. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) The average number of callers at the British War Office is now over 1200. Most of them are on business, but there is a consid erable number of sightseers, who ex press a wish to be "shown around" or desire Lord Kitchener's autograph for their collection. This class of callers generally receives scant courtesy at the present time. Perhaps the most difficult class to deal with are the people with strange inventions. A persistent woman vis itor who sought a personal interview with Lord Kitchener wished to urge that every soldier in the trenches should have a lifeline tied to his back. so that if wounded he could be hauled back to safety. GERMAN TOWNS ARE RAIDED Women and Children Killed by French Airmen, Says Berlin. BERLIN, April 22. (By wireless to Sayville, N. Y.)
