14 THE SUNDAY PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 21, lyiM. HISCAMPAIGN PLANS Rooseyelt Will Be at Oyster Bay Little During Summer. FEW SPEECHES WILL BE MADE President's Idea in Remaining at Capital During Heated Season Is to Be In Touch With Leaders. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. It seems prob able that President Roosevelt -will be In "Washington during the heat of the Presi dential campaign this year instead of at Oyster Bay, where it has been supposed he would remain for several months. The President has made tentative arrange ments for the Summer and Autumn, and they Include a comparatively brief so journ at Oyster Bay. It is quite certain that the President himself will not go to Oyster Bay this year until after the convention. A few days, perhaps, after the convention, he will go to his Summer home. He will re main there, according to present arrange ments for a week or ten days. Assuming that he will lie the nominee of his party for the Presidency, it Is expected that he will return to Washington to receive the formal notification of his nomination. Soon thereafter he will return to Oyster Bay to remain there during the latter half of July and the whole of August- It Is possible he may prolong his sojourn at his Summer home until the middle of Sep tember, but not longer than that. He then will return to Washington, and re main here during the campaign. Many reasons have induced the Presi dent not to pass the entire Summer and Autumn in Oyster Bay. Chief among them is the necessity that he should be in close touch with the people of the country, particularly the leaders of the Republican party. This will bo scarcely possible if he should remain in Oyster Bay during tbewnpaign. Facilities ofall kinds in thSfeetty Long Island town in which is loc40i the President's Summer home are limited. Crowds of even moder ate proportions cannot bo accommodated there, and it Is inconvenient for visitors to reach the President even after they ar rive in the -village, the President's home. Sagamore Hill, being three miles from the station. President Roosevelt will go to Oyster Bay early in November, In order to be there on election day. It is quite probable he will receive the returns from thel elec tion there, but this'bas not yet been deter mined definitely. Some time In the Sum mer or Autumn the President will visit the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, but no time has been fixed for that visit While it Is possible he may make one of two short trips in the Summer, he has decided that he will no nothing in the nature of political campaigning.

After the season had been finished and according to President Fink's decision, the race was a tie, Hoquiam and Aberdeen were to play a series of three games and again Fink ordered the three games played on Aberdeen's grounds. An effort was made to change the schedule In order to give the tailender3 a chance to over haul the leaders, bu Hoquiam protested, and now they claim It is owing to our opposition last season they want to drop us. The whole contention Is because Ho quiam will not stand for Fink as presi dent, and, as he is aspiring for that po sition, he is anxious. He telegraphed Ab erdeen to see If it would stand for Che halls, but it said "no." "Hoquiam" is the war cry. The upper teams ask for a con cession of 50 per cent of the gate receipts, and, when it was looked Into and found that Hoqulam's and Aberdeen's gates last season for the last games were over $250 each, Olympla $25 and Centralia JCS, "not for a minute" said the harbor towns. "We are the drawing cards in this league and can make more money out of it, but if the people want a league, we will give them one If everything is Just." Beck Is Hard to Find. Manager Ely has been burning up the telegraph wires, between Portland and Toledo. O., for the past couple of days trying to get a line on Erve Beck, the second baseman ho slsnfs! !s the place of Andy Anderson. Ely has sent a dozen telegrams to Beck, but no answer came. Yesterday he appealed to the Postal peo ple to locate Beck if possible. This last move was a success, for during the after noon the Brown manager received a wire from the "hard-to-find Beck" saying that he was sick In bed and that he had writ ten Ely a letter. Ely wired Beck to come to Portland, and that there were better hospitals here than In Toledo. Win Third Qualifying Rounds. W. Minor and Miss Bryan, S. G. Wheeler and Miss Myrlck won the third qualifying rounds of the mixed foursomes for the Mrs. J. W. Ladd prize at the Waverly golf links yesterday afternoon. defeating quite a large field. The play started at 1:30 and after the. play a dinner was served. Those who played were: Major and Mrs. Langfitt, C. Ball and Miss Brewster, W. Minor and Miss Bryan, J. Kolloch arid Miss Strong, Andrew Kerr and Miss King, S. G. Wheeler and Miss Myrlck. & B. Linthlcum and Miss Wilson, P. Kerr and Mrs. Wilcox, J. D. Carson and Miss Burns, N. B. Aver and Mrs. A. L. Lewis, G. Goode and Miss Jewell. B. Cooklngham and Mrs. S. L. Linthlcum, R. Koehler and Mrs. Wilson, R. Hogue and Mrs. Alvord. The next round will be played In about one week. On Monday, Washington's birthday, special events have "been arranged. Umpires Were Talked To. The F- and K indoor baseball teams, which played a match game at the Ar mory last night, have got themselves tied for first as kickers among a goodly col lection of umpire persuaders. F won by 9 to 6, but winning was not the point of the game. It was to see which could jaw Umpires Mackle and Daugherty most. Only the captains put up the smooth talk to the umpires until the fifth Inning, when the teams were tied, and nobody was par ticularly displeased, though both were morally certain they had been handed a bunch. Then something happened to Ks pitcher, and F made five runs. Men were making base runs right and left, and K saw this would never do, so whenever there was a chance to Interfere with a decision the entire K team would rush at the umpires, while F would defend them, ana there would bo hot talk. The two contesting teams are not known as cracks, but there were few errors, and It was a pitchers' battle throughout, ex cept when the umpires came in for their share of the trouble. HARRTWAN luAY BE LET IN. SOURCE OF DISCORD. Hoquiam Version of Dispute in Southwest Washington League. HOQUIAM, Wash.. Feb. 20. (Special.) A dispatch to The Oregonlan stating that Hoquiam is to be dropped from the South western Washington League this season has bees published, and. as an effort is being made to 'knock" the Hoquiam men. they desire the facts of last season's work to be known. Following is their story: The Hoquiam league team led the pen nant race through the season and won 12 out of the IS games played. President Fink reversed one because Hoquiam did not play the Tacoma league team, which OJyropIa brought down to this city. This Negotiations With Hill for Trackage to Puget Sound. CHICAGO, Feb. 2a Hill and Harriman interests are discussing the advisability of entering into closer relations In the Northwest with respect to an interchange of traffic, and It is understood the way has been paved for an agreement. The question of Interchange of traffic between the Hill and Harriman lines in the Far West has been a live topic for several years. It is well known that Mr. Hill desires a 'shorter line Into Port land than is provided by the Northern Pacific, and it is equally well known that Mr. Harriman desires an entry into Ta coma and Seattle. Both interests can obtain what they desire, provided they can reach a basts of exchange. The Northern Pacific now turns over considerable traffic to the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company at "Wallula, Wash., and the Harriman line Is compelled to deliver to the Northern Pacific at Portland a great deal of traffic destined for Seattle and Tacoma. From Wallula to Portland is 214 miles by the Harriman line, and 410 miles by the Hill route. Mr. Hill. is therefore said to de sire trackage right for the Northern Pa clfic trains from Wallula into Portland. Mr. Harriman is equally desirous of ac quiring trackage rights for his trains over the Northern Pacific from Portland to Tacoma. The great advantages which would accrue to both systems are ad mitted by both interests. (This Is no doubt the revival of a story Jong currenL While negotiations are no doubt under way, it is impossible to gain any definite idea as to when they will be consummated. If ever.) WILL CONFER WITH SHIPPERS Western Roads Ready to Discuss the Recent Advances in Rates. CHICAGO, Feb. 2a Executive traffic officials of the Santo Fe and the Hill and the Harriman lines are arranging a meet ing in Chicago with a half-dozen of the largest shippers in the country, with a view of discussing the recent advances which were made in the rates to the Pacific Coast. The shippers who have been in vited to attend the conference are en gaged' mainly in the iron and steel and lumber business, although other Interests are to be represented. The meeting will be the result of ob jections which have been made to the increases which went Into effect January 15. The advance on iron and steel and some of their products amounted to about 5 cents per 1ft) pounds, and the increase on lumber was material. Another Transcontinental Road. While complaint is made by promoters of the new Grand Trunk transcontinental railway across Canada that the terms im posed by the government are too strin gent and that the necessary capital ceuid barely be raised In England without a land subsidy, yet It is urged that the line is to be built. According to a Vancouver. B. C. dis patch, there have been announcements by government officials that the Mne wil: go through, whether as a public under' taking or a private enterprise. Sentiment In favor of another line east and west through Canada Is very strong through out tho Dominion. Eastern ana California Races By direct wires.

Minister Cho said today that although neutrality had been proclaimed by Corea in the struggle between Japan and Russia, the Corean people desired that Japan should succeed, as It meant the Inde pendence of their empire. i Finns, Danes, and Even the Wild Tribesmen, Are Anxious to 'Do Battle. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 20. The re port that Count Casslnl, Russian Ambas sador to Washington, Is to be recalled Is absolutely unwarranted. His services are highly esteemed and at the Foreign Of fice It was said his recall Is not contemplated. It Is understood that the Russians taken prisoners in the Chemulpo battle will be brought home. These men will henceforward be noncombatants. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 2a With ref erence to the stories of a disaster to the Russian troops at Lake Baikal one re port saying that three regiments were drowned while attempting to cross the ice-covered lake. It is explained that the trans-Baikal line was blocked at the Bai kal Station during the night of February IS by an avalanche of snow, which fell from a neighboring mountain. A train having troops on board dashed into it. the locomotive was derailed, and in the suceeding five cars one soldier was killed. five severely Injured and four were slight ly hurt. Traffic was expected to be re sumed the following day. Further advices from Port Arthur today say that all the women and children and most of the male citizens have left there. The wave of patriotism sweeping over the Empire seems to be swamping racial feellag, even the wild tribes of the Cau casus, the discontented Finns and sullen Poles forgetting their grievances, .and coming forward to volunteer their serv ices to the common fatherland. An In stance of devotion among the Czar's He brew subjects is afforded by the act of 45 Jewish doctors In throwing up their practice to go to the front. Before leav ing, they attended a service held in a synagogue here. Rabbi Drabln made a fervent address to a large congregation, which Included Baron Glnzberg and other Jewish notables. He said: "Our fatherland Is passing through a difficult epoch. The moment has come when you, my brothers, must show the whole world that you are not unworthy sons of your country, and that although standing apart before the altar of reli gion, you are united with other citizens before the altar of patriotism, and are ready with all the Czar's faithful lieges to sacrifice yourselves for the fatherland. Remember that Russia is strong, not only in arms, but in God s blessings." After the service the congregation sang the national hymn. The Czarina, who continues to take great personal interest in the work of providing for the sick and wounded of the war, presided today at a special meet ing of the Ladies Patriotic Society, which was attended by several Grand Duchesses and others of the highest ladles in the land, and presided at a service held at the Winter Palace at which the girls of the Imperial Schools acted as choristers. Dur ing a discussion In regard to utilizing the services unsparingly offered by the girl hood and womanhood of Russia for the relief of the wounded, tho Czarina pro posed temporarily to suspend the studies In the girls' schools, in order that the girls might be able to devote the school hours to sewing. The suggestion was ap plauded, but no definite action was taken. Her Majesty, who is an expert needle woman, has done much to encourage sew ing among Russian society women. Now that the Government has officially recognized the public subscription to pro vide war vessels to replace those destroyed by the enemy, the newspapers are discuss ing the best type of vessel, opinion veer ing from submarine boats to torpedoboat destroyers. A service organ points out that cruisers would take too long to build, adding that It prefers powerful torpedoboats, and suggests that they be built where the Japanese got theirs. Financial circles approve the action of the Imperial Bank In selling London, Paris and Berlin bills cheaper than be fore the war, believing this measure will thwart the speculators In those centers, where they are trying to force down the price of the rouble. Tho municipality of Khabarvosk. East Siberia, has drawn up a scale of prices for foodstuffs to prevent speculation during the war. American Military Observers. WASHINGTON. Feb. 2a Japan has ac ceded to the request of this Government to be allowed the privilege of sending military observers with the forces in the field, the general staff today designating four officers for this purpose, as fol lows; Colonel Crowder, Judge Advocate; Captain Marsh and Captain Morrison, of the Artillery, and Captain Kuhn, of the Engineer Corps. Code Messages Can Be Transmitted. NEW YORK. Feb. 20. The Western Union Telegraph Company announces that code messages can now be transmitted to Japan, and that the Western Union code is on file at the disposal of the pub lic at the central office of Imperial Post of Telegraphs at Toklo, Kyoto, OsakI, Yo kohama. Kobe. Shlmonosekl, Nagasaki, NIkko and Hakodate. WIFE OF CONSUL TO RETURN. Mrs. H. B. .Miller Will Leave Niu Chwang for Oregon. GRANT'S PASS. Or., Feb. 20. Word Is received here by her friends that Mrs H. B. Miller, wife of Consul IL B. Miller, formerly of Grant's Pass, but now sta tloned at Niu Chwang, China, will return home. Mrs. Miller will return on ac count of war hostilities now raging in that part of China. Recent dispatches tell of Mr. Miller's work In sheltering Japanese refugees and his willingness to aid the needy of either side. While his position is neutral, it is not a pleasant nor a particularly safe one, and Mrs. Miller will come home. Few men are better or more popularly known in Grant's Pass and Josephine County than H. B. Miller, more familiar ly known down here as "Harry Miller, or -Just plain "Harry." He made his start In the world In this part of Oregon. and at present holds extensive interests. here, both in town and country property. His fruit farm on tho Applegate, near here, is one of the best in Oregon, and Harry Miller's Newtown Pippin apples are probably better known In parts of the Orient to which they have been and are being shipped, than they are in this sec tion. He organized the Sugar Pine Door & Lumber Company, of Grant's Pass. and represented this district at the State Legislature In 1BS5. SUSPECTS MAY ENTER ARMY. Political Agitators Will Then Be Free From Police Surveillance. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 20.
