CAMPAIGN IS EARNEST Zctters From JCooscvcIt Men in AH J'at-ts of Country Obtained and Uifort AVill Be Made to Start Heal Stampede. CHICAGO. April 28. (Special.) Friends, admirers and supporters of Colonel Roosevelt from all parts of the country are going- into the Republican National conventior. in Chicago in June determined to bring about the nomina tion of the man from Oyster Bay as the standard bearer of the Republican party. This statement was made today by vay of a forerunner to the momentous visit that Colonel Roosevelt will pay to Chicago tomorrow and Sunday. Movement Voder Headway. The Roosevelt movement for the Presidential nomination is under big headway and is expected, if the Colo nels friends read signs aright, to in crease its momentum largely in the next few weeks. The ex-President will come to Chi cago tomorrow as the guest of the Illi nois State Bar Association at the fourth annual meeting of that organization. jh far as the Bar Association meeting is concerned and the Roosevelt appear ance at the banquet of the association, there is no politics in the visit. Opening o'f Roosevelt headquarters in Chicago by John Siman, City Clerk, and Charles H. Sergei, City Treasurer, how ever, is part of the big movement to bring about the nomination of Colonel lloosevelt at the Republican convention. Mr. Siman admitted as much ic an in terview today. Worker Fortified With Letters. "We have sent out for and have ob tained letters from Roosevelt men the country over," said Mr. Siman. "These letters show the state of the people's feelings. There is no doubt that there is a big demand for Roosevelt head quarters in Chicago during the Repub lican National convention. There Is a great Roosevelt feeling. It is true that a great number of states will have favorite-non candidates in til convention. These favorite sons will get the complimentary votes of various states and then we expect that many will come over to the Roosevelt standard. "There will be no "pussy-footing' with these delegates. They will know who is on the j-rftiare and what men are jockeying for Jobs. Tins opening of headquarters is a personal matter with Mr. Sergei and myself. It is a Repub lican move, a simon-pure, unhyphen ated Republican move. "We are for Roosevelt and want to ee him nominated." Boom to Arrivtf Today. Colonel Roosevelt, bringing his Presi dential boom with him, will arrive in Chicago on the L'otti Century train to morrow. A special committee of the Bar Association will meet hirn at the station and will escort him to a hotel, where he will be housed during his Chicago visit. At noon President MacChesney will be the host at a private luncheon for t'otonel Roosevelt at the University Club. Korty-eight have been invited to this luncheon.

ALBANY. Or.. April 2S. 'Special.) Fred Zwahlen died 30 minutes after he became suddenly ill while unloading a load of barley at a local mill today.

ADVERSE REPORT FORECAST i 'rtjy 1 1 n nd From Klrwt Face. the nomination of Mr. Brandeis came to thin Senate. Had he been a man who spent his life in steering corporations around the law. they would have been fighting for his confirmation, but. hav ing spent his life in fighting for the poor people of the land, casuistry is resorted to.' Repohlleaa Heady to Vote. "Does the Senator know." asked i-'enator Cummins, "that three-fourths of the time pent in consideration of the Brandeis nomination has been con sumed by Democratic members of the committee? If there is any filibuster it has been a Democratic filibuster. The Republican members of the Judici ary committee have been ready to vote on the Brandels nomination ever since the report came from the subcommit tee and we have offered over and over again to vote on it. If a vote had been taken it probably would have resulted in an unfavorable report, insofar -as Mr. Brandeis is concerned." Senator Works, another Republican on the committee, also criticised Sena tor Ashurst for his reflections on the Republican members, and drew another reply from the Arizona Senator, who said: "Until you vote to confirm Mr. Brandeis I will continue to believe that the Republicans are trying to make a political fight over the controversy." Democrat Cause of Delay. Senator Overman, a majority mem ber of the committee, denied that there had been any filibuster, and confirmed Senator Cummins' statement that de lay had been caused by Democratic Senators. Senator Hoke Smith, also a Democratic member, agreed that this was true. "The Democrats have caused delay," said the Georgia Senator. "There never has been a time when Mr. Bran deis could have got a favorable report from the committee. For myself, 1 am perfectly ready to admit that there has never been a time when I was ready to report out favorably to Mr. Brandeis. I regret that the Senator from Arizona has been detained and has not known what was going on in the committee." Senator Borah declared the task of digesting the reports of the sub-committee had been arduous. "I must ad mit," he said, "that not until midnight last night had I finished reading and studying them.'" Senator Brandegee insisted that none of the Democratic members of the com mittee had asked for a vote, but, on the other hand, that he himself had suggested one when debate was lag ging a recent meeting. DETECTIVES ACCUSED TWO POIITLAXD OFFICERS SAID TO HAVE "FRAMED" AUTO THEFT. Pair Charged With Stealing Car Im plicate Alleged Informer. Who Says Police Took Part. SALEM, Or.. April 28. (Special.) Evidence tending to show that Detec tives Smith and Craddock. of Portland, were accessories in the theft of an au tomobile from Felix Isaacson, of Au rora, last Friday will be presented to the next Marion County grand Jury by District Attorney Ringo and Sheriff Kseh. it was announced tonight by these officials. Charges that the two city detectives encouraged him to "frame" a plan whereby L. Reid and Kern Foley, both of Portland, were to steal an automo bile, were made by A. D. Emerson, who was arrested in Portland today by of ficers from Sheriff Hurlburt's office at the request of Sherif Esch. of Marion County. Emerson. Reid and Foley are now in jail here, having been arrested in Portland by Detectives Smith and Craddock upon information furnished, it is alleged, by Kmerson. According to the story told by Em erson and substantiated in a measure by Reid and Foley, the two latter told Emerson that they knw where they could get an automobile if Emerson would agree to find a buyer. Kmerson declares he advised the detectives of Reid's and Roley's proposal, who in turn told him to accept the proposition. Emerson says the detectives were kept advised of Reid's and Foley's movements by him. and when they drove into Portland last Friday morn ing in the stolen car they were prompt ly arrested. The detectives, according to Emerson, furnished the gasoline to drive the tstolen car from Aurora to Portland. Admitting they knew something of Reid and Foley's alleged plan to steal Felix Isaacson's automobile two days before the theft occurred, Detectlvea Craddock and Smith last night said they had acted by advice of Deputy District Attorney Deith, and believed they had been within their rights as drtectives seeking to capture criminals. The officers likewise said they under stood that Reid and Foley were going to find and bring to Portland an auto mobile already stolen and hidden some where outside the city. "Emerson told me that the men wanted to sell him the car." said De tective Craddock. "I don't think he knew where It was. or that it had not yet been stolen. After consulting Mr. Deich I told him it would be best for him to take tne thieves to the spot where the car was secreted." Craddock also denied that Sheriff Esch had asked him to arrest Emerson, and protested that he knew nothing of the Sheriff's intentions until Deputy Sheriff Phillips, of the Multnomah County office, advised him that the in former was in jail.

ATTACK MADE ON CANAL MAX EC VERS PROVE, SAV EXPERTS, HOSTILE FORCE COI I.D LAXD, . ival Aide to Commander or 7.one Asks for Submarines at Enrh Entrance to 'Waterway. PANAMA. April 28. The Army ma neuvers in the canal zone, undertaken on an extensive scale to work out problems connected with the defense of the Pacific entrance to the canal, have reached an interesting stage. The Blue Army, commanded by Col onel Charles G. Morton, which yester day reached Chorrera on its march to defend the canal, came in contact this morning with the Orange Army under Colonel John A. Mallory. which is attacking- the canal after theoretically having effected a landing near the vil lage of New Gorgon. According to Brigadier - General Clarence R. Edwards, commander of the canal zone, the maneuvers already have demonstrated the feasibility of a hostile attack overland from either Chame Bay or near Aguadulce. Captain William B. Pratt, naval aide on General Edwards' staff, has asked the Secretary of the Navy to detail a cruiser and several submarines to a permanent station at each end of the canal. Bird Study Club to Go On Outing. The outing tomorrow afternoon will be at Multnomah on the Oregon Elec tric line, leaving the North Bank Sta tion at 2:05 and Jefferson-street station at 2:25, returning either at 4:59 or 6:34 P. M. Fare 10 cents each way. Mrs. Campbell will be the guide and prom ises if tne club be very qujet and at tentive to show a goodly number of her bird friends at their nest building and housekeeping. Bird houses made by the children of the Multnomah Junior Audubon Society will be on ex hibition and judged by R. Bruce Hors-fali. CHINESE EXCHANGE RISING Quotations Made by Banks Here Continue to Advance. Chinese exchange continues to ad vance. Quotations in Portland yesterday were $54.60 on Canton and $53.85 on Hongkong a gain of $2.50 and $1.75, respectively, over the day before. Portland bankers predict ' that the price will continue to go up. Yet they are at aloss to account for the situ ation. The quotation is fixed arbitrarily by the principal Chinese banks and is gov erned by local conditions in China. The recent advance in the price of silver, it is believed, is partially responsible. Silver now is selling at 65 cents an advance of 23 per cent since the last year. This is approximately the same ratio of advance experienced by Chi nese exchange. In normal times it sells in Portland for about $44. MAN IS RUN DOWN BY AUTO Herman Miller, Hotel Klevator Op erator, Is Seriously Injured. An automobile driven by Francis P.
