9 TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JUNE 7, 19i4. COLONEL PLANS TO . RESTRICT ACTIVITY Jhird Party Campaigp Now to : V , Be Concentrated Chiefly L on New York State. DRIFT IS PLAINLY SEEN Decision to Indorse Republican Can " . dldates Shows Roosevelt Is Not j Being Deceived Into ' : Over-Confidence. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ;. lng-ton. Juno 6. When Colonel Roose "," velt first returned from South America It was announced that he would make 5 a nation-wide campaign in behalf of - candidates nominated by the third par- V ty for seats in the Senate and House of Representatives, and for the Gover ; norshlp in several states. As he sailed for Spain the Colonel gave out an au- thorlzed statement to the effect that : he would concentrate his political ef r forts largely to he sate of New York 7 this Fall. T Some months ago the third party r leaders in Congress made the announce. ment that a third party candidate would be put in the field In each con- frressional district, and in each state where a United States Senator is to be ' elected this year. Just before Colonel ;. Roosevelt set sail for Europe it was announced officially that the Progress 'l: Ives would Indorse Republican noml- nees wherever suitable men were nomi- nated by the Republicans, and where r.: the Republican platform met with the jr: approval of the Progressives. . Advisers Not Fooling ColoneL ;7 These developments are regarded by ." politicians as significant in themselves, : but considered in connection with re " turns from special elections, such as that in New Jersey, and In further con - nectlon with primary returns, such as those in Oregon, they assume even ; greater significance. They demonstrate that Colonel Roosevelt has not been deceived by the colored reports made " to him by such men as George W. Per " kins, Glf f ord ' Plnchot, Bill Fllnn and r" others who were his chief supporters two years ago. - There seems to be no doubt that Colonel Roosevelt, sooner or later, will ;; turn up in the Republican ranks. He is i:. not expected to make the flop suddenly, for he must placate the men who stood with him In 1912 and who are Insisting :.. he must keep open the breach In the r Republican party. It Is not to be pre !T sumed that a man of Colonel Roose ! velfs political acumen would think for ... a minute that a party that has lan ; gulshed. as has the Progressive party .". in the past year, can hope to swallow the Republican party of today. Republican Remedies -Indorsed. So far as criticising and condemning - the Democratic Administration on the ;" tariff, on its foreign policy and on its legislative policy is concerned, there is - no difference between Colonel Roose ::: velt and the Republican leaders In Con- - gress. The things he condemns are ' the things they condemn. The reme 7: dies which Roosevelt would apply are -.- the remedies Republicans prescribed while he was in South America. A continuation of Democratic, control of t: the Government would be no' more ob ' jectionable to Colonel Roosevelt than it would to the average Republican now in Congress. What plans the Colonel may have for :.. the future he did not make plain be- fore he sailed for Spain, but the fact . that he decided to make only a few political speeches through the country, and intends to confine his activity largely to his own state and the fact t that he will make only two or three speeches In Pennsylvania, where it was once believed he would campaign that f; state for his friend Plnchot. is accepted 7 as indicating his belief that a nation ; -. wide campaign for third party candl ." dates would be futile.

PROVOKED. B. K.elim Tells Railroad Commission Be Waa Forced t. Walk When Brakemaa Made Mlatake. SALEM, Or., June 6- (Special) B. Koelln, of Hlllsboro. has written the State Railroad Commission a tale ot woe about railroad imposition which is in a class by itself. He is provoked and is said to have a right to be. The Commission, however, finds it can be of little service to him under the cir cumstances. Mr. Koelln boarded a Southern Pa cific) train at Beaverton some time ago and asked that he be allowed to get off at Newton. The conductor in formed blm that the agent had made a mistake In selling him the ticket to Newton, for usually the train did not stop there. However, he agreed to let Mr. Koelln off and instructed the brakeman to stop the train at Newton. After passing Dunzer the brakeman. thinking it was Newton, stopped the train and apologized to the passenger for having carried him past his station. When he reached Dunzer Mr. Koelln learned of the brakeman's mistake and was compelled to walk several miles to Newton. The railroad officials have admitted to the Commission that the mistake was made by employes of the road and Intimated that it was useless for Mr. Koelln to "cry over spilled milk." The trainmen, the official wrote, have been reprimanded and there is nothing else to do but to see that such mistakes are not made in the future. Mr. Koelln, however. Is unable to Bee any comedy in the errors of the men who had charge of the train. ESTATE VALUE $1,000,000 Will of Mt. Clementine I Lewis Is Filed for Probate.
