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.

protested game was glx-en to Olympla.
which afterward wanted to self It to us.
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.

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.

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

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

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
