WAN LITTLE BOOMS
RISING IN CHICAGO
OVERTURNING
One Fact Stands Out
in Chicago.
GREAT "MOVEMENT" IS MYTH
Guesswork Ends With Delega
tions Actually on Ground.
POSITION, THOUGH, STRONG
Roosevelt Still in Position to Make
OP
Unmake Any Candidate in
the Field, With Single Ex
' ceptlon of Himself.
CHICAGO, June 4. (Editorial Cor
respondence.) I have ceased to have
any kind of confidence in the claims
and prophecies of the experts In
political prognostication; but I do not
hesitate to risk a single observa
tion on my own account. I do not know
what the Republican convention is going-
to do. but I am sure I can tell
what It will not do. It will not nom
inate Theodore Roosevelt to be its
candidate for President not unless
tome three or four or five hundred
delegates who are now unquestionably
against him are miraculously convert
ed within the space of a few days.
I do not make this statement in any
epirlt of elation, nor do I pretend that
I have fallen upon a great discovery.
It Is the result of a painstaking: in
vestigation, conducted solely with a
View of ascertaining the facts. But
one with an open eye must see the un
cscapable truth.
Great "Movement Is Myth.
The preat Roosevt-lt movement
myth; it does not exist except in the
abounding- Imaginations of sundry sensation-loving
reporters and in the gos
sip of hotel lobbies, barber shops, men's
cafes and street corners, but not with
the delegates.
It has decorated the front pages of
the New York and Chicago newspapers
-until now, when a faint glimmer of the i
real situation has begun to penetrate
reportorial heads.
When the delegates began to arrive
in Chicago, the era of spacefilling
guesswork drew to its close.
States which had been listed in the
Roosevelt column took their proper
places and the Roosevelt totals
dwindled from formidable proportions
to a few handfuls. Take the state of
."Washington, for example It has been
credited for the most part to Roose
velt, and even this morning's Chicago
Tribune assigns to the Colonel six
votes there. He has one or two, and
he may have none.
Sentiment Wrongly Estimated.
It has been thought that Oregon will
be for Colonel Roosevelt as second
choice. I violate no delegate's confi
dence when I venture the assertion that
it Is a sad mistake. California, too,
was supposed to be fairly aflame with
Roosevelt enthusiasm. Perhaps it is,
but it is not reflected in the desires or
probable course of the men and women
with votes.
I was told by a New York delegate
that a careful canvass of that delega
tion disclosed that there are 45 for
Hughes, 36 for Root and three for
Roosevelt. The chief Inspiration for
swelling the Roosevelt balloon in New
York is a gentleman from Syracuse, a
Mr. Wilkinson, an amiable and opti
mistic follower of the Colonel. He told
me that he had devoted seven entire
months to a personal survey of the
country, and that everybody is for
Roosevelt, everybody, everywhere.
Actual Consideration Considered.
One is led to wonder whether the be
lief In Colonel Roosevelt's Invincibility
and overwhelming popularity, common
to so many minas, is seif-nypnosls, or
what? For It Is so demonstrably an
error that It would be interesting to
know Just why It persists. v I do not,
of course, mean to deny Colonel Roose
velt's general popularity. I would
have it borne in mind that I am dis
cussing him now as a candidate for
President among delegates to the Na
tional convention. I am not concerned
In any academic consideration of the
situation as it ought to be; only as it
is, or, rather, as I see It.
But I have not in any way altered
my opinion, heretofore expressed, that
Roosevelt holds the key to the situa
tion. He can make or unmake any
candidate except himself. The Repub
lican convention is willing to negotiate
with him and to compromise on any
candidate except himself. It will
probably accept any suggestion from
him as to anyone except himself. If he
should declare against Hughes, it may
confidently be expected that the
Hughes castle would topple over, and
It Is the same with any other. If he
says he prefers the nomination of Root
or a dark horse, undoubtedly Root or
the aforesaid dark horse would be lift
ed near to a nomination. But what
will he say or do when he learns, as he
must learn, that the convention is not
In a heroic mood? That is the great
mystery of the hour, the subject o
most anxious and nervous speculation.
Knowing; Ones Expect Bombshell.
It is thought by the wiseacres who
know the Colonel's political habits that
he is likely to toss a bombshell into
the Republican camp at any moment.
It is inconceivable to them that he will
sit quietly by his Oyster Bay fireside

Popular Feeling Grows That Na
tion's Salvation Still Lies in
Pursuing Strong War Policy.
BERLIN, June 4. (Special.) The
general committee of the Conservative
party has unanimously adopted a reso
lution approving- the attitude of the
party leaders and particularly the stand
of the Conservative members in the
Reichstag and the Prussian Parliament
on submarine warfare and peace con
ditions. It also extended a vote of
thanks and confidence to the Conserva
tive party chief. Van Heyderbrand.
In this connection considerable com
ment has been aroused by the frequen
cy with which Grand Admiral von Tir
pltz's name has been mentioned as e.
result of the recent naval battle. No
little significance Is attached to the
fact that the Prussian House sent tele
grams of congratulation not only to the
Kaiser and Vice -Admiral Scheer, the
commander at Sftager-Rak, but also to
von Tirpitz, whose name evoked stormy
applause. Many other congratulatory
messages have been pouring In on von
Tirpitz and these facta all tend to indi
cate a strong reaction against peace
talk and a growing popular feeling that
Germany's salvation lies in a strong
war policy.
The Germans have been goaded into
this reactionary state of mind by the
fact that Germany's repeated intima
tions of readiness to make peace have
been Interpreted in Prance and Eng
land as evidence of a weakening on
Germany's part, and it has created a
prejudice in high official circles against
any further peace talk for the present.
JAPANESE HONOR J. J. HILL
Notable Orientals at Seattle Pay
Tribute to Memory of Friend.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 4. To honor
the memory of James J. Hill for his

CHINDA SOON TO LEAVE
Japan Prepares to Transfer Ambas

TOKIO, June 4. Japan has asked

ment of Viscount Sutemi Chlnoa, now
Ambassador to the United States, as
Japanese Ambassador to the Court of
St. James, as successor to the Marquis
Katsunosuke Inouyo, who desires to re
turn home.

In California, and he recently conferred
frequently with Secretary of State
Lansing with reference to a clause In
the Immigration bill which was objec
tionable to his government.

COLONEL WILL STAY HOME
Delegates Demands for Personal
Attendance Not to Be Met.-
CHICAGO, June 4. The Progressive
National Committee will meet tomor

clared positively tonight that the
Colonel would remain at Oyster Bay

UNKNOWNS ARE AMBITIOUS
Mr. Cobb Finds That Noah Webster
Covered Whole Ground in His
Celebrated Work, Now Ap
plicable to Situation.
BT IRVIN S. COBB.
CHICAGO, June 4. (Speclai.) In
framing- my dispatch for this day and
data I have sought the able, although
posthumous, collaboration of a promi
nent member of the well-known Web
ster family of New England not Dan
iel, but Noah. Daniel was a Republi
can, or would have been had he lived
until this time, but Noah wrote for all
parties. He Is dead, but his dictionary
goes marching on. To him then have I
turned for help.
In the sterling dictionary bearing his
name I find for the short word "boom"
the following array of definitions:
Boon" Variously Defined.
1. A long pole or spar run out from
various parts of a ship or other ves
sel for the purpose of extending the
bottom of particular sails.
2. A strong iron chain cable, or
line of spars bound together, extended
across a river or the mouth of a har
bor, to obstruct navigation or passage.
3. A pole set up as a mark to di
rect seamen how to keep the channel in
shallow water.
4. A hollow roar, as of waves, of
cannon; the hollow cry of the bittern.
5. That space on the upper deck of
a ship between the fore and mainmast.
where spare spars, etc, are stowed.
Verb; to make a hollow, sound or
roar.
"Hollow Roar" Descriptive.
How vivid Is the English language.
Here in Webster we discover that a
boom Is a hollow roar, which exactly
describes most of the booms presented
to the attention of the delegates to
the Republican National Convention
now assembling. Some of them are so
hollow you can see right through them
and back again. We find, too, that
a boom Is a thing used in connection
with a device for catching the wind.
That also applies. If it were not for
wind, there would be but few booms
here tonight in Chicago, whereas they
are present in numbers amounting to a
great multitude. Also a boom is
space on an upper deck, as may be
noted. There is any amount of space
in the upper decks of some of these
booms. In fact, on the upper deck they
are practically all space wide, deep,

Mr. Bryant came here from Corvallls
about five months ago, severing his
connection with the First National
Bank of that place about last October.
At the time the tragedy took place.
Mr. Bryant's mother, who is nast 80
years of age. was out walking with
her grandchild, and Mr. Bryant was in
the house with an aunt. When he shot
himself, his aunt ran across the street
to the home of William F. Kelly. Mr.
Kelly found Mr. Bryant dying, and he
lived but a few minutes after Mr.
Kelly's arrival.

ICE SWEEPS ALASKA TOWN
Floating Cakes Demolish Buildings
In Council City.
NOME, Alaska, June 4. Council City
was almost completely swept away by
floating ice cakes from the Neukluk
River late yesterday. Many buildings
in the lower part of the town were de
molished.
The ice Jammed In a canyon a short
distance buuw the settlement, causing
the water to back up, and, with its

Declared Destroyed.
NATION IS LESS PESSIMISTIC
Admiralty Blamed for Needless
Candor, at Outset.
FEW OF OFFICERS SAVED
Casualties in Line on Cruisers Sunk
Are Noteworthy; Lord Beresford
Says Beatty Won Brilliant
but Costly Success.
LONDON. June 4. The British Ad
miralty tonight Issued a statement
saying there was the strongest ground
for the belief that the British navy In
the battle with the Germans off Jut
land last week had accounted for a
total of 18 German men-of-war, and
that there was nothing to add to 'or
subtract from the original announce
ment of the British losses.
The statement gave the German loss
es as two battleships, two dread
nought battle cruisers, four light cruis
ers, nine torpedo boat destroyers and a
submarine.
Feeling; of PeMUnlm Relieved.
The pessimism which prevailed as a
result of the Admiralty's original state
ment of losses, which now Is considered
to have been needlessly candid and
conservative in underestimating the
extent of the German losses, as com
pared with those of Great Britain, has
been greatly lessened by the latest
statement.
A dispatch from Copenhagen says
rumors are current in Hamburg that
two additional German warships be
sides those announced in the German
communication the battleship West
falen and the battle cruiser Lutzowd
were sunk In battle. A wireless dis
patch received here Saturday from Ber
lin said the German Admiralty ad
mitted the loss of the- Westfalen.,
Admiralty Still Cautions.
The Admiralty statement tonight de
clares that the German losses in the
fight were not only relatively, but
absolutely, greater than those of the
British. Maintaining its practice of
caution, the Admiralty still refrains
from giving the names of the lost
German ships.
The official list of the casualties
among officers shows that hardly a
single officer of the line escaped from
the British cruisers sunk in the battle.
An additional casualty list of petty
officers shows that 43 of them were
saved from, the Queen Mary, Invincible,
Fortune, Ardent and Shark. None was
saved from the Indefatiglble. Defence,

Only Few Minutes Previously.
Fire of unknown origin, which start
ed In the clubhouse of the Portland
Hunt Club at Garden Home, about 9:20
last night, totally destroyed the build
ing, with a loss of approximately $4500.
Hard work on the part of people living
Ui the vicinity was all that prevented
the fire from spreading to a number of
nearby residences.
There was no one In the clubhouse at
the time, the caretaker having left only
about five minutes previously. The
flames were first discovered by a. M.
Cronln.- who lives nearby, and he Im
mediately gave the alarm
So rapid was the spread of the flames
that It was impossible to save any of
the furniture or furnishings of the
clubhouse. The residences of Dr. W. L.
Wood. Fred A. Martin and A. M. Cronln,
all within two or three hundred feet
of the clubhouse, had close calls, but
were undamaged.
