Term Proposition Said to Be Subject of Conference Soon at Oyster Bay Colonel Silent. OYSTER BAT, N. T., June 25. (Spe cial.) Theodore Roosevelt, within a short' while, will probe deep into the political situation in New York State with Governor Hughes. Although Mr. Roosevelt will make no direct request on the Governor that he resign from the Supreme Court bench to which he was recently ap pointed, he will insist upon the fact that unless Hughes accepts a third nomination for the Governorship and runs next Fall the Republican party in this state will be whipped abso lutely, and this means that Colonel Roosevelt will try to persuade Hughes to give up the Supreme Court in order to save the Republican party in the State of New York. Positive information to this effect was received here tonight. In the course of an interview which Mr. Roosevelt granted this afternoon, the ex-President was asked when Governor Hughes was expected. He answered: "Really, I do not know." "Well, Colonel, are you willing to .say why Governor Hughes is' coming and what you are likely" to talk about?" was the next question.

HARRY MURPHY MAKES PICTORIAL PROPHECIES All Dignity Forgot on "Hoosier Day" GEORGE ADE HELPS FUN ALONG Beveridge and Fairbanks Vie With Elusive Quoit. LEAPFROG MILD DIVERSION Ex-Governor Durbin and "Uncle John" Studebaker Disport Dress ing Contest Causes AVild Scram ble on Humorist's Farm. HAZELDEN FARM, Brooks, Ind., June 25. (Special.) Dignified Sena tors and Governors played croquet and pitched horseshoes, played mumblepeg and leapfrog, wnne equally dignified Federal Judges, poets, authors and other dignitaries gave what they were pleased to call an imitation of baseball today at the annual "Hoosier day," given by George Ade, the humorist, at his beautiful farm. Five hundred na tive sons and daughters, now expatrl-' ates in Chicago, came out on a. special train and in automobiles to assist in the ceremonies and to deplete Ade s stock of Spring chickens and other edi bles. "A pleasant day was had by all." Autos Meet Distinguished Guests. Large delegations poured in from Indianapolis and other cities in the state, and there were especially hon ored delegates from outside cities. All special trains were met by automobiles at Brooks, and the guests were whirled out to the farm. This farm, by the way, more closely resembles some famous old English country place.' It is quaint in appearance but modern in every par ticular. As serving to show that po etry or some other peculiar Indiana quality pays well, Ade said that half million dollars' worth of automobiles was lined up "back of the orchard." George Ade Receives Visitors. George Ade stood under the trees In front of his house and received th guests. Scattered about the green were ex-Vice-President Fairbanks, Senator Albert J. Beveridge and "Uncle" John M. Studebaker, who was classed as a "Hoosier father" rather than a "Hoosier son." When the last machine had emptied its occupants, William B. Austin a nounced that luncheon was ready on the west lawn. Everything on the tables was ' described "warranted Hoosier made." The programme started off like a three-ring circus..' Senator Beveridge, Mr. Fairbanks. "Uncle" John Stude baker and Dr. William A. Evans pitched horseshoes at one corner and were um pired by William T. Durbin, ex-Gov ernor of Indiana. Pat Women Run Race. A crowd of women shot at a target at another corner, while the fat women ran races in another section. There were fireworks, affinity races and egg-and-spoon races, in which women were obliged to leap hurdles with eggs in spoons without spilling the eggs. In the meantime a large band was playing, rendering the circus suggestion all the more real. George Ade and his father marched at the head of a line that circled about the entertainment grounds. The line consisted mostly of Indiana's famous authors and Supreme Court Judges. Dressing Contest Is Climax. As a climax to the afternoon's pro gramme there was a dressing contest. in which a dozen men divested them selves of coats, vests, collars, ties. shoes, socks and cuffs. The clothing was dumped miscellaneously in a box. At the signal each man started to find his clothes, throwing his neighbor's vestments right and left in the scram ble. Many prizes were awarded as a fin ishing touch to the programme. Baron Rosen and Japanese Ambas sador Hasten to Spend Summer at Same Resort. BOSTON, Mass.. June 25. (Special.)

H., on September 5, 1905, formally ending the Russo-Japan war. The Japanese Embassy Is already set tled for the Summer at East Gloucester. Baron Rosen, head of the Russian Em bassy to the United States, and a prom inent figure at the negotiations at Portsmouth, has suddenly changed his plans and is coming to Manchester to spend the Summer instead of going to Bar Harbor. While no official 'confirmation of the rumor could be secured, it was learned from a source worthy of credence that the coming negotiations were the cause of the Baron's coming here.

JEFFRIES AT STRENGTH'S APEX His Muscles Wonderful in Velvety Softness. NEGRO'S OLD TRICKS SAME White Man's Training Complete, He Is Happy as His Nature Allows la Perfection of His Physicality. ' Johnson Better - Than Ever. BI JACK LONDON. (Copyright. 1810. by the New York Herald Company. Registered In Canada In ac cordance with the Copyright Act. All rights reserved.) . RENO, Nev.. June 25. (Special.) Despite . the scribes and sports who fell for the rumor that Jeffries was to box at 3 o'clock this morning, and who journeyed vainly out to Moana Springs at that unearthly hour. Jeffries him self selected the perfectly respectable hour of 10 A. M. He skipped the rope and shadow boxed to the . time - of many tunes whjch he whistled himself, instead of panting for air in this high altitude, and the punching-bag rat-tatted to the lilt of Mendelssohn's "Spring Song." For another thing, he evidenced a remarkable good temper and cheer fulness. He has passed through the strain and drag of his long and ter rific training, and with that far be hind him, perforce yields to the good spirits that are the emanation of per fect well-being. Jeffries Hugely Kittenish. All through his couple of hours of hard work today he was kittenish and frisky in a huge way, full of Joshes and bubbling with grim laughter. One does not imagine him laughing heart ily ever. It is his nature and his makeup to hint of grimness. even when he is jovial to the top of his bent. . After the rope-skipping he stripped and showed the wonderful-built man he is, from the ground up. . His legs were like columns not gnarled and knobby columns, ' but clean-swelling columns, soft-lined and in keeping with the solf-lined strength of the rest of him. There is little doubt that in the his tory of the ring there was ever a heavyweight so well and symmetrically proportioned. His thighs are so mighty that they remind one inevitably of the legendary Teutonic warrior, who by the grip of his thighs made his war horse groan beneath him. It would have to be an armor-plated, steel-trussed horse that Jeffries could not make groan. Muscles Are Wonderful. Lean-bellied as a Greek athlete, the muscles of his torso begin their long, deep swell outward and upward from the waist. His back muscles play In matted masses, while those of the shoulders and biceps leap into a twisted roll at the slightest uplift of the arms. , And they are all the right kind of muscle. They are not hard and knotted like those of the professional strong men and weight lifters. They do not bind him and hold him by their inflexibility and weight. . And this is something that the unini tiated do not understand. While those that knew looked on and gloried in Jef fries' condition, someone remarked naively that he was surprised at his softness and at the sheath of fat that encased him. Fat, there is not any fat on him! Those soft mounds and ridges and rolls are the finest grade and quality of muscle a man can possess. One might as well call a cat fat because, when it Is relaxed, its muscles become all velvety softness. That may best describe Jeffries' mus- (Concluded on Page .)

Heney and "Jack" Green way, the Rough Rider of Minnesota, for a walk through his estate today. They inspected the stock and the chickens and the old-fashioned flower garden behind the house.

Taft Congratulated on Personal Success. RECESS WORK MAPPED OUT Separate Probes of Oklahoma Scandal Are Authorized. SPEAKER IN GENIAL MOOD Tncle. Joe' Holds Xo Malice, He Says in Statement as House Dis solves President Signs Virtually All Bills. WASHINGTON, June 25. President Taft walked out of the Capitol at 11 o'clock tonight smiling. The second session of the 61st Con gress had just adjourned and he had signed practically all matters of legis lation that had been placed before him. He received congratulations from his Cabinet and from members of both branches of Congress upon the suc cessful passage of most of his pet measures. Mr. Taft shook hands all around and continued to smile. Bribery Inquiry Ordered. The last measure signed was a joint resolution to authorize the Secretary ot War to lend tents to the Appalachian exposition to be held . in Knoxville, Tenn., In September, which Mr. Taft expects to attend. Each house of Congress marked it closing hours by voting for an investi gation of the McMurray Indian con tracts. Instead of the usual scene of comparatively undignified relaxation from the business of legislation, both houses devoted exceedingly serious at-, tention to-the-- charges of bribery at tempted and other forms of improper influence made in the Senate yester day by Senator Gore of Oklahoma, ami subsequently in the House by Repre sentative Murphy of Missouri. Two Committees .Named. Two separate investigations are pro vlded for, one in each house. Each body passed a resolution creating a select committee of five members, to pursue the Inquiry, to the bottom dur ing the recess of Congress, and to re port whether any of its members are. or have been, interested in any of these contracts. Until a late hour today it looked rather as if the matter would go by default, but as soon as the two houses reconvened at 9 o'clock tonight, after a recess since afternoon, the subject came up with a rush and crowded gal leries listened with intense interest to the proceedings x which ended in the vote to probe the charges. In the "marble room" adjoining the Sen ate chamber, were ex-Senators Long of Kansas and Thurston of Nebraska, who have been mentioned in connection " with the Indian contract matter. In adjourning the House, Speaker Can non made a brief statement in which he said that he held no malice toward any one and hoped that all would have a pleasant vacation.
