The miscarriage of the original plans
whereby Snyder's two companions
double crossed him and committed the
deed without his aid. and his Imme

officers believe led to 'his death. He
rose from a sick bed as soon as ha
heard of the crime and declared hat
"those fellows have double crossed me
and I will get my share or know the
reason why."
Immediately he set out for Portland,
where he met Perry and Brashear, alias

to think that he was enUtled to a share
of the spoils and induced to return to
the place where It had been hidden.

Upon Policy of Allowing the

(Waatalnstun Burns of The JonrnaLk
Washington, D. C, Oct- 4. It is be
coming patent to the average political
"observer here that the fight for the
Republican nomination for president In
1908 wUl be between President Roose
velt snd Vice-President Fairbanks. In
the struggle It is altogether probablo
that Mr. Fairbanks will be overwhelmed
by a popular wave of enthusiasm for
Roosevelt.
The Indiana statesman started out to
be a candidate for president Immediate
ly following the second Inauguration of
McKlnley. He and his friends msds
a studied effort to give the country the
Impression that president McKlnley had
chossn Mr. Fairbanks as the man to
succeed himself.
The vice-president understands that
President Roosevelt and those closest to
him in the official circle here do not
take kindly to the Fairbanks candidacy.
Mr. Fairbanks represents a line of pub
lic policy entirely contrary to that pur
sued by President Roosevelt.
The vice-president Is a conservative
so-called. No trust would have any
reason to fear him In the White House.
In the 14 years that he was in the ac
tive practice of law in Indianapolis hs
never appeared in court exoept as the
attorney for a railroad or Wall street
Interests that held the bonds of some
railroad. Even now ha is a shareholder
In some o the big railroad properties
and Is closely Identified with Wall
street Interests.
The vice-president relies Implicitly on
ths business Interests to bring about his
nomination.

"Mr. Lewis took his dock and I took
