Oct' lT.Prssldant ' Roosevelt wll) tomorrow be given from n unquestioned authority oomprenen . slve report of the political situation in the went, thelnlddle weat and a porUon of the southern states. William 11 Taft. the Republican standard-bearer, win 'ha hia tina tomorrow at break fast and luncheon, after hla notable a wins- around the circle. The greater portion of the day. following attendance at church, will be devoted lo a discus sion of oolitlcal affair. It Is under stood that the cabinet roembera In the city and the political generals who are accompanying the Republican candidate will be present at tne conrerenca. The outcome of the deliberations may determine whether President Roosevlt will deliver one or more speeches in New York atate, as has been suggested by several of his eastern advisors. The conference at the White House gives promise of being one of the most notable events In political hlatory. Com ing as It does at the beginning of the last two weeks of a campaign unsur passed In its ran id unfoldment of sen' sational incident-, and at the conclusion of a notable tour by the administration candidatethe conferees will be In a position to place their fingers upon the 'sore spots' and formulate a plan of battle. for a whirlwind finish. Taft Might Save Hughes. While Judge Taft has been touring the west, President Roosevelt has been earnestly engaged In sounding political sentiment In the east. Advices coming to the White House give the Kmplre state to Taft but predict the defeat of oovernor Hugnes. it is me w mio House impression that If Judge Taft throws himself Into the breach he may save the dav for Huahes. The Connecticut situation Is oauslng some concern. The fight against can didate LJlley was reported to the pres ident today to be extreroaly bitter. It was these advices that induced the pres ident to Issue a statement which In ef fect announced the administration's en tire approval of Lllley's campaign, f Uneasy Abont Ohio. But New York and Ohio will be the mitin battleground during the closing days of the campaign. Although the president and the mem bers of his cabinet continue to express the utmost confidence In Taft's elec tion, their anxiety as to the situation In Taft's awn state I manifest . Discussing the situation In Ohio, one of the members of. the cabinet, tonight said: "Whllt I think Ohio la safely Repub lican there has been a lot of talk re cently about Koraker's friends knifing the ticket,' I presume tney will do so to some extent, for the feeling has been very bitter. There is also disaf fection among the labor and negro vote In the state, but this should be offset somewnat by the Lea and Hisgen lion ets, 'Which will undoubtedly counteract a considerable number of labor votes. Mr. Taft's recent trip In the state, when he addressed himself - particularly to worklngmen, will be produotivs of good results J .am syre." i nun cauinei memoer, sunougn R reaving confidence In Tart's carrying ew York state, admitted that there were grave doubts aa to Hughes pulling through. Dlsousslng the situation else where, he said; Counts on Standpatters. I have no knowledge that the La Follette factldh in Wisconsin Is going to cut the national ticket to anv ex tent, although there have been rumor to that effect. - Kansas has been re ported to be close, but I do not think the results will show it. The Republican DartT this vear has K-ar .A,,KI.J with " Ia, ..,(Anal state fla-hts. I attribute this to the fact that the standpatters havo been try ing to maintain tneir ground against tne representatives 01 Kooseveit policies. But when It comes to voting, I do not see how the standpatters can find any nome put tne Republican party, cer tainly ther cannot gain anything by votina for Bryan, and even if It does o against the grain. I think they will finally decide to elect Taft. Zn the Closing Bash. Postmaster-General Meyer made a speech here tonight before the District of Columbia League of Republican olubs in which he took as his text Bryan s issue of the guarantee of bank deposits, pronouncing It "socialistic in the extreme and In violation of all equitable principles New York Monday night next and i Few Spdals Hers are t.'few extra values' that w have fa stock at the pres ent time.

FOOTPRINT LEADS SLEUTHS A MERRY CHASE, ENDING NOWHERE j' Twa indefatigable officers did a piece of Sherlock Holmes work; last week that realty should have brought the guilty man to book. It looked like a strong clew, and the further they followed It the more sure were they that when they untangled the skein they would find at the other end the thug who knocked out P. B. Kelly, the station agent at Estacada and robbed the depot aafe last Saturday night. There was nothing the matter with their work the only trouble waa that It waa a false clew which presented It self. Kelly waa struck down sbout 8 o'clock while sealing a car at USstacada. j The safe was robbed or 43. w. LUIls, special agent of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company, and Peputy SHariff Archie Leonard went to work. " Kelly had been put out gf business before he had any opportunity to see the features of his assailant, so he could give the officers little help, much as he wished to do so. In leaving the station the robber had, however, stepped Into the soft clay bank, leaving a plain footprint several inches deep. It was evident that the mark had been made by Shoes with pointed toes, and apparently new shoes at that. When they learned that a man who bore a bad reputation had left his work in a wood camp three miles away, and, after saying that he was going to Esta cada, went to Currinsville Instead, they iook an interest in Mr. waa Man, wnen they found that he had bought a pair of shoes corresponding to those which apparently made the print at the Eata cada station, the scent grew fresher. Then they were told that ha was out of money Saturday, ana had vainly tried to Dorrow money. By this time the two officers had walked miles upon miles, going from one wood camp to another, but nowhere was there any further trace of the man they wanted. That the much-wanted man had $30 due which he could have drawn Mon day was the next piece of news. All day Monday they worked, and still no sign of their man. Neither did he come for his money Tuesday, nor Wednesday. By this time Lillis and Leonard felt convinced that they were on the right track, and had the man with the bad record appeared he would have been ar- reatea on tne spot. The end came suddenly. Jn Portland Thursday they learned tHat the man in question had Deen In the city Saturday night and at the time the robbery at Estacada was taking place he was draw ing out a sum due him from another company. It was an absolute alibi! HOOD' RIVER" UNIVERSITY CLUB GIVES FIRST ANNUAL BANQUET (Bearat Newt br Lonrwt LfJ Wire.) New York, Oct. 17. Considerable in terest is shown In legal clrclesover the report that the big Chicago packing concerns are contemplating the organ ization of an English holding company in order to get around the so-called anti trust laws of various states In this oountry. It Is ndt admitted Dy tne Ar mour, Swift, or" Morris Interests that such a proposition Is contemplatea, dui It can be stated on good authority that the matter has been under considera tion for some time. Th ri-nt decision in California, con victing the Sacramento manager of the Western Meat company of conspiracy In rpBlrRlnt of trade under the Cartwrlght nntl-tmiftt act of that state, has aroused a irood deal of interest.

With the new system of medical in pectlon established in the Portland Dubllc schools -barely two weeks, the value of the Innovation secured through the efforts of Superintendent Rlgler and Dr. Esther C.

It- was at once closed and thor oughly, disinfected. Only one day of school was lost. If Dr. Btorey had not inspected tne school DuiiQina tne neaitn ornce wouia have had no means of knowing that a contaelous disease was present there until smallpox had spread all over the Clinton-Kelly district ana tne scnooi would have been obliged to close down for the rest or tne term just as tne Chapman school did last term. It will be remembered that this last mentioned school was discontinued two months before tne term ended and at one time 10 families in the district were quarantined by the health depart ment. The upnecessary expense caused to the city by this condition of things amounted to many times the salary of a medical Inspector and the lost time of the students of the district cannot be replaced. iJJJLF ,nst ihe m"at company as a cor poration under tha tc .""?," tin lh.tiutcirae ? theae- (t believed.' will havo an important bearing UDon tha status of the National Packing company" ieiJlithe 5y.ent 2f th" decision in Cal ,t & calling for the dissolution of the ,W,OBtern Meat company and the possibility of actions befng brought in T&tili 1f th.e 9am" or against the National Packlnr enmnanv k. i-. ests back of these concerns' are said to tlon.
