BURTON SEES RISING
REPUBLICAN TIDE
WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS DEFECTIVE "HEARS" WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS SINGER THROUGH FINGER
TIPS.
Ex-Senator, After Tour of 41
States, Says Sentiment Is
Growing Rapidly.
PREPAREDNESS IS POPULAR
Tarty Situation on Pacific Coast
lleclared Splendid Except in
Spots Topeka, Kan., Most
Apathetic on Defense.
CHICAGO. April 30. (Special.) Ex
Senator Burton, of Cleveland. Ohio's
"favorite son." candidate for Presi
dent, reached Chicago last night on
the last lap of his campaign speaking
tour of the United States.
Mr. Burton, who has covered 41
states and thinks the Republicans are
coming back this Fall, encountered the
Klihu Root boom as soon as be reached
the Auditorium HoteL.
Reports from New Tork that the
Root people, under the direction of
Senator Wadsworth. were about to at
tempt a recrudescence of the New
Yorker's boom and with the approval
of Mr. Root, were not received as a
surprise by Mr. Burton.
Root Movement No Surprise.
T have heard something about it.1
said Mr. Burton, "but I have no definite
information. I would not be surprised,
however, if an earnest movement had
been undertaken in behalf of Mr.
Root."
The Eastern advices are that Root
headquarters will be opened in Chi
cago within a fortnight, and that the
Middle West will be sounded for the
New Yorker as it is now being sounded
for Colonel Roosevelt.
Mr. Root, who has rooms engaged at
the Congress Hotel as a member of the
New York delegation, has not as yet
asked for headquarters.
Senator Burton, reviewing the trip
that has taken him into 41 states, said:
"I firmly believe that Republican
sentiment is growing rapidly. I have
just come from the Pacific Coast, and
out there we seem to be in splendid
shape, with the exception of a few
local spots.
West Alive Except In Spots.
"I have found the Far West people
also alive to the question of prepared
ness, except in spots. Topeka, Kan.
for instance, seems to be the most
apathetic on preparedness. I found
little response in that city to the pre
paredness suggestions. But in the
border states, particularly New Mexico
and Nevada. I think the Republican
party, with its preparedness pro
gramme, will sweep things. All along
the Coast, too. it seems clear that the
Republican party is to come into its
own."
Mr. Burton left for Cleveland for a
short rest before coming back West
the middle of May.
OFFICE ROBBED THRICE
POSTAL RECEIPTS ARE TAKEX FOR
THIRD TIME AT ISLAND CITY.
ThieveR Get S Cnmb 2."M Stamps, Two
Stransrem Are Detained, Though
Evidence I Lacking.
LA GRANDE. Or., May 1. (Spe
cial.) Island City's postoffice is being
robbed with distressing regularity. For
the thii d time within tv o years the
office was robbed last night.
Last niht $S0 in cash and $250 in
stamps were taken. The robbery the
first of last August netted ?8i cash.
but nothinp else was taken, while in a
burglary before that there was about
$90 taken.
The indications show that the work
last night was done in about the same
way as the one which happened last
Summer. The postoffice is located in
a store building which was broken into
in the same manner and the cafe was
blown open in practically the same
way.
Two men who are strangers in the
country and who were camped along
the river last night have been detained
under suspicion, but nothing thus far
has developed to show that they had
anything to do with the crime.

CARL SO FOR HELEN KELLER.
Helen Keller, the world's most famous blind and deaf woman. Dlaced her finsers on the lfns and throat of
Caruso, the Metropolitan tenor, and "heard" him sinK the "Lament of Samson." from Saint-Saens' ODera. "Sam.
son et Delila." Through the medium of her marvelous sensitive fingrers the matchless voice of the greatest tenor
was transmitted to her soul as she sat and listened, her lips apart, her sightless eyes wet with tears, and she
whispered over and over again: "Wonderful, wonderful."
"TtiouRh I cannot see your face I c an feel the pathos of your sons." said Miss Keller.
And Caruso replied wi h his lips against her hands, "In your fingers I can feel your soul, in your blue eyes
your soul is shining."

cial.) Headed by Mayor Lewthwalte,
of West Linn, and Mayor Wilson, of
Oswego,' a delegation from those two
towns catted on the County Court Sat
urday to ask for county aid in improv

ANGERED EMPLOYE SHOOTS
Aged Employer Seriously AVoundcd
in San Francisco Cafe.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 1. Charles O.
Swanberg, president of the Merchants'
Ice & Cold Storage Company, of this
city, and proprietor of the Portola-
Louvre Cafe Company, was snot three
times in the breast and once in the
back by a disgruntled prospective em
ploye here today.
He is TO years old. His condition is
serious.
William Hass, the man who, Swanberg
says, did the shooting, ran out of the
cafe office where the shooting oc
curred and escaped.
WASHINGTON. May 1. Hope of an
agreement in conference on the Army
reorganization bill seemed brighter to
night after an all-day session of the
conference committee. In which a basis
for negotiation of differences between
the Senate and House on the regular
Armv was reached.
Senate conferees agreed to yield on j
the proposed standing army of 250,000 1
men and to accept a peace strength
of 180,000 men, provided the House
would accept the expansion system
of organization in the Senate bill.
Under this system the regular Army
could be increased in time of con
flict to 220,000 or more. House con
ferees tentatively agreed to this
proposition on which to base agree
ments as to detail, organization of
units and other features of the meas
ure. The Chamberlain bill, before It
was amended jn the Senate, placed
the maximum strength of the regular
Army at about 170.000 men. whereas
the House bill left It at 140.000.
Although the conferees are exerting
every possible effort to reach a com
plete agreement, some of them fear
that all disputed points cannot be
worked out without referring some
points back to the Senate and House
for further instructions. Senate con
ferees still are holding out for the
Federal volunteer army, as well as
their proposed system of Federalization
of the National Guard, but House lead
ers insist that eventually they will win
their fight to eliminate the volunteer
army and retain the House National
Guard provisions.
The matter of a Government nitrattf
plant has not been reached by the' con
ferees, but its opponents regard it as
certain that it will be stricken from
the bill.

homish County Convention.
EVERETT. Wash.. May 1. (Special.)
Roland H. Hartley, the Everett busi
ness man who announced his candidacy
for the Republican nomination for
Governor of Washington at the Sno
homish County convention held here on
Saturday, said in his announcement, in
part:
"While serving in your Legislature.
I saw such splendid opportunities for
an executive possessing the courage
of his convictions and not afraid, that
I found myself longing to be Governor
of Washington for just one term of
four years.
I fully expect to be nominated and
elected, and if I am. upon my sacred
honor as a man. I promise to devote my
time, my energy and the best that is
in me to the interests of all the people
of this commonwealth, without regard
to expediency, popularity or further
honors in public life. Planning for fu
ture honors and elections has been re
sponsible for more failures and cow
ardly action In public office than any
one other thing.
"A Governor does not make the laws.
It is his duty to enforce them, and if
he is not scheming for further honors
for himself he Is apt to be afraid to
veto a bad measure, or to enforce a
good one, even if by so doing he gains
the ill-will of the professional agitator
and political blatherskite.
T believe the prohibition law and
every other law should be enforoed
to the letter and should be changed
only by the people.
