Third. 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.
The Colonel declined to discuss the
significance of the Governor's visit.
HITCHCOCK'S MAN LOSES
Oregon Man Resents Action Against
Hofer and Sinnott.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June 25. Among Presidential
nominations that failed of confirmation
was that . of Sidney Bieber to be Collec
tor of Customs for Georgetown, (Wash
ington, D. C).
This failed because of opposition by
Senator Bourne. When asked his rea
son for preventing Bieber's confirma
tion. Bourne said he did not know Bie
ber, or know anything about his quali
fications, but his appointment had been
brought about and was strongly desired
by Postmaster-General Hitchcock, and
Bourne "did not propose to stand for
any more Hitchcock appointments if he'
could help it."
Bourne declared Hitchcock is trying
to build up a political machine, in which
Bieber was to be a cog. It is under
stood Bourne took this means of re
senting Hitchcock's action In prevent
ing the nomination of E. Hofer and J.
Frank Sinnott. as Marshal and Collector
of Internal Revenue for Oregon, which
was due very largely to Hitchcock's
opposition.

Ex-Governor Durbin and "Uncle
John" Studebaker Disport Dress

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.)
Rumors are current at Manchester,
N. H., that ambassadors from Russia
and Japan will meet there this Summer
to reconsider certain parts of the treaty
of Portsmouth, signed at Portsmouth,
N. 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.
WOULD-BE BRIDE DESERTS
Rancher Seeking Wife Loses Money
to Confidence Men.
LONG BEACH. Cal.. June 25. Out of
pocket $1100 and no bride is what George
Craighead, a rancher, aged 55, from
Brigham City, Utah, says a matrimonial
venture has meant to him. He came here
looking for the bride to be, and while
making Inquiries for her fell Into the
hands of confidence men at San Pedro
and lost 31000 on a racing game. He says
he advanced the J100 to Miss Emma Har
well. Failing to find her he returned to
his home yesterday.
Following his departure the police lo
cated Miss Harwell in a sanitarium and
he corroborated the rancher's story as
far as it related to herself. She said,
however, that she expended the money
in making a trip to Brigham City, to
discuss matrimony with Craighead, but
that he failed to keep ' an appointment
set for June 4. Then she returned to
Long Beach and now she says in view
of all that has transpired she does not
intend to marry him.
CITY LIFE GIRL'S UNDOING
Seattle Lass, Lured to New York,
Becomes Will to Slave. ' .
CHICAGO, June 25. (Special.) Florence
Dale, tB years old, revealed a story of
how she had been forced to lead a life
of ehame for two years when she took
the witness-stand in Municipal Judge
'Hrmes' courtroom on Chicago avenue to
day against Frank Arnell. 22 years old,
659 North Clark street. The case was
continued to June 29.

her cheeks, told of how she had heard
about New York City and left her home
in Seattle for the metropolis. She was
only 16 years old and met Arnell shortly
after her arrival. She said she had been
beaten black and blue by Arnell and was
forced to give him all the money earned
by her. She said he worked only two
months as a bartender since he met her.
Miss Dale refused to talk about her
parents further than to say that they
lived in Seattle, and the police believe
she has given a fictitious name.
8-HOUR DAY PROHIBITIVE
Secretary Fears Battleships Cannot
Be Built in Government Yards.
. WASHINGTON, June . 25. Secre
tary of the Navy Meyer, Just before
leaving Washington on a trip to Hamil
ton, Mass., announced that he Is going
to reorganize the accounts of the depart
ment. He said that the authorization of
the naval supply account in the general
deficiency bill makes it possible for him
to place the accounts of the department
on a business basis In accordance with
the recommendations of the civilian ex
pert accountants and the best commer
cial practices. ,
The Secretary expressed the fear that
the eight-hour day provision may make
the cost of building a battleship In a
navy-yard prohibitive. He hopes to be
ale to try, in one of the colliers now
building, a gear-drive device for propel
ling machinery and an electric drive in
another collier.

cordance with the Copyright Act. All

. 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-

Hail Adds to Destruction Lert by
Tornado at Station 6 0 Miles
South of Moose Jaw.
MOOSE JAW, Sask., June 25. (Special.)
A frightful story of death and desola
tion as the result of a storm reached
the city tonight over the long-distance
telephone from Mounted Police Station
3-M9-3, which . is situated in the South
country about 60 miles from Moose Jaw.

the storm was destroyed. Three persons

his two little children. The injured are
his mother, two sisters and two brothers;
a hired man named Wilson, leg broken;

about the face.
'As soon as the message was received
medical help was rushed to the scene , of
the tragedy.
SEVEN PERISH IN STORM
Prominent Alaskans Believed Lost
in Cook's Inlet Gale.
SEWARD, Alaska. June 25. Seven men
are believed to have been lost in a storm
which swept Cooks Inlet Wednesday
night, according to a report received here
today from United States Commissioner
Hildreth, of Nick Precinct, Cook's Inlet.
The men, among whom were Joseph
Laubner, a. prominent citizen of Seward;
F. R. Stewart, of Stewart City; W. C. M.
Perkins and John Winter, set out in a
dory from Kern Creek to cross the inlet.
The water was rough when they started
and they had. not been out long before a
terrific storm came up.
It was first thought they might have
taken refuge on Fire Island, half way
across the Inlet, but searchers have been
unable tc find any trace, of them. It
is now r.Hovsd that all were lost. The
names c-C th other three In the party
are not 'mra here.
ITALY VOTES DIRIGIBLES
Socialists Oppose, but Chamber Ap
propriates Bisr Sum.
ROME, June 25. (Special.) The
Chamber, today unexpectedly voted an
expenditure of 10.000,000 lire, about
$1,193,000, for dirigible balloons for the
army.
Socialists and Republicans opposed
the proposal. They deplored the In
creased army expenditure as useless,
saying war was practically Impossible.
They advocated disarmament.
The discussion arose during the ab
sence of the Minister of War. He was
summoned from the Senate and made
an eloquent appeal to the country's
national honor. The vote was then
passed by a majority of 200.

interest here.

Eleanor Butler Alexander In New York
a few days ago, arrived here tonight with

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.
POSTAL ATTACKS MERGER
Bell Telephone and Western Union
Combination Assailed by Rival.
LAS CRUCES, N. SI., June 23. Spe
cial.) The Postal Telegraph Company
has obtained an injunction against a
subsidiary Bell telephone company in
New Mexico for violation of a contract
which the Postal Telegraph Company
made with an independent telephone com
pany last July for five years by which
the Postal Company reached a number ot
towns in New Mexico by an extension ot
its service from El Paso to Silver City, .
N. M. The contract still has more than
four years to run.
A few weeks ago the New Mexico sub
sidiary Bell telephone company bought
out the Independent telephone company
with which the Postal had this contract
and then the subsidiary company notified
the Postal that on July 1 connection
would be cut oft.
