Roosevelt's last annual , iommp to
congress will bo of the nature of a
classlo a document that may go down

uccora'pllahment and aim of the pres
ent administration.
At no time during tils term of office
- has the president given the attention
i to the preparation of a message that
. he is devoting to this one. Roughly
,ior the summer, and supplemented
since hia return by important depart
mental recommendation, he is still at
work amending and polishing.
Much attention will be paid In the
message to questions of economio r

tures will be recommendations of an
amendment to the Sherman anti-trust
law exempting labor organisations from
Its provisions, and the passage of ami

Additional fortifications for the Phil
ippines and for cea coast defense in
this country will be strongly urged.
Congress will be requested to broaden
the powers of the Interstate commerce
- commission in the supervision ef rates
before they become effective. The dif
ficulties encountered in the adjustment
of interstate rates by states having rail
1 road commissions have raised a" demand
. for additional federal legislation that
the president believes will meet -.with
hearty support even by the minority
party In congress. .
The postal savings bank project of
the pout master general , will receive
hearty indorsement and an earnest rec
ommendation that It be speedily enacted
into law.
The groat growth of prohibition senti
ment and the demand of the state that
the federal government meet the "orig
inal package" decision of the supreme
w court will be touched upon.
The president will also- recommend
legislation, requiring publicity of cam
paign expenses. He has not yet in
dicated whether he 'will repeat bis
previous recommendation for the enact
ment of an inheritance and income tax,
but he Will cress for a federal incor
poration license and for the enactment
. oz a new employers' liability law.
, :- ": Atlantic meet. ' ' :" -
The president will take advantage of
certain- criticisms in the last congress
as to the advisability of sending the
Atlantic fleet into Asiatic waters, by
pointing? out the feeling of international
amity that followed its triumphal prog
: ress, and the great advantages, commer
cially and otherwise, which he believes
will Taccrue in Japan, China and other
point of the Orient.
Statehood for New Mexico and Arir
Bona will not be neglected, nor will the
demand for the creation of an. "Ap
palachian forest reserve." Also his ad
vocacy of the adoption of a policy look
ing to the purchase of at least one le
gation site a year will be renewed.
The placing of dates upon the labels
of packing house products and the pay
ment of tho cost of inspection by the
packers Is another matter to which he
will call attention. The demand for
uniformity In divorce laws will be re
iterated, as well as child labor legisla
tion. -- - ,; V''. !.-.,., -

amount as may be almost prohibitive.
In that event they are preparing to ap

Morse still maintains the attitude
that he Is not guilty and that he can
prove It. Hie counsel disagree entirely
with the ruling of Judge Hough that
entry in the books of a bank Is false
even if properly made, provided the act
that caused the entry Is In itself il
legal. They intend to quote the rulings
of other judges on that point, and ap
pear to have no doubt that they, will
win.
Far from feeling the loss of the com
pany of Curtis in the Tombs, Morse
expressed himself todav as srlad that
iis former employe and president of
tne .National Bans; or wortn America

Morse took was that It would In no way
ild his case to have 'Curtis remain In
prison and as he always stood on his
own feet, he can do so now without
dragging down anyone else. It Is not
believed that Morse today ts the wealthy
man tie is generally reputed to De. on
the contrary, those who nave suits
against him say they believe that all
the stocks and bonds' he at one time
possessed have been hypothecated.
Whatever he may have settled on his
wife and sons la not known, but that
lie personally has anything like the
fortune of $21,000,000, which he told
Curtis sometime ago he possessed is
not believed. Morse spent most of his
lime tooay receiving visits rrom nis
wife, sister. Miss Jennie Morse and his
two sons, Benjamin and harry. Before
the visits began he spent more than

Cannon Bombards Panama
Canal, Woman's Clubs arid
Conservation of Resources
Leave. Problems for Fu
ture Generations, He Says.
(United Vrtu Leased Wire.)
Chicago, Nov. T. ;Uncle Joe Cannon,
speaking before the Chicago Bankers'
club tonight, declared his opposition to
the Ides, of conservation of public re
sources and against the expenditure of
large sums for the completion of the
Panama canaL Before the speech was
delivered newspaper men were re
quested. to leave the room.
The speaker, declaring that they were
all hard headed business men and pot
doctrlnaiies, said the province of gov
ernment was the protection of life, lib
erty and property.
"Let it -perform those functions," he
said, "then-let every man take care of
himself."
There are great problems to be
solved hv the next congress." said Can
non, "and they are not going to be
solved by the emotional hysteria of the
party."
Other; guests at the banquet were
Charlevw. Fairbanks and James Ham
ilton Lewis, Charles O. Dawes, retiring
president of the dub, acted as toast
master. Fairbanks was the first speaker. He
said the Panama canal was a great un
dertaking but he expressed the belief
that the country would finish it.
Then Cannon spoke. He referred to
the canal first of all."
: take to Oulf TlrsV
"This is not a time." he said, "for the
expenditure, of a large sum of money
for the completion of the Panama ca
naL Discreet care should be used in
the endeavor to build a deep waterway
from the lakes to the gulf."
He said- great engineering problems
were unsolved, and they might better
be left to future generations.
Newspapers, magazines, specialists
and dootrinarles. women's clubs add
school children, he said, signed memo
rials to congress for the Issuance of
bonds for millions to be used in all
sorts of plans.
- "Because I happen to be one con
gressman who- is In a position where
my judgment is brought to bear on
these subjects, some think I should be
killed altogether."
Lsave Forests to State.
' He said many people blamed him for
opposition to the reforestation of tho
Appalachian range. There was ,a ques
tion, ne said, a to whether the nation
had the police power to prevent the
destruction of forests. He said he
thought the police power remained with
the states. He declared there was also
a Question as to the advisability of re
forestation, and criticised magazines
and newspaper for their articles on the
waste of coal and tlmoer. It reminded
him, he said, of the boy who was re
quested by his teacher to figure out
how long It would take a frog to jump
out of a well if it fell back "two feet
when It jumped up one. The maRa
tlne, . he said, seemed to forget the
great quantities of undeveloped coal in
the- Rockies. .
Knocks the Panama CanaL
. The completion of the Panama canal,
he said, might come when the nation
had reached 600,000,000 Inhabitants.
Transcontinental railroads might be
comDleted. he thought, when tne na
tion got to be 100,000,000 or 200,000,000. j
It would be a serious thing, he said,
for the country to go ahead now and i
make mistakes.
. Referring to the campaign, he said: i
"The campaign ha demonstrated that I
Democracy has a great -leader, but he!
has developed great opnosltlon. Some I
day a really great opposition to Re- j
publlcanlsm will be developed, but It will
be by a real Jeffersonian party." i
He said deieat had once come to the !
Republicans because they had a bll-!
lion-dollar congress in two years. The ;
government was great and expensive,
and now a billion-collar congress was
me resuji every year.
Lewis, the next speaker, assured the
elub members that the Democrats would
work in harmony with the Republicans
for the welfare of the country.
The Bankers club has about 200 mem- .
bers, most of whom are millionaires.

Charges of Criminal Nature
Are Preferred Against
Milo A. Boot of the Su
preme' Court of Washing
ton $50,000 Shortage.
v (Bpeelal Dispatch to Ths Journal.)
Olympla, Wash, Nov. 7. Charges of
a criminal . nature against Associate
Justice Milo A. Root of the supreme
court are to be investigated by a com
mittee 'from the State Bar association.
under instruction from the supreme
court These charges also involve the
nam of Judge M. J. Gordon, justice of
the supreme court from January 1895.
to June.; 1904, and since the Utter date
until a few weeks ago division counsel
for the Great Northern railway at Spo
kane. Judae Gordon resimed his position
several, weeks ago. .within the last few
days the story has been published that
his resignation was due to a shortage
la accounts of $50,000. These rumor
now involve the name of Justice Hoot
and are to the effect that Judge Gor
don and hi attorney have declared
that all or most of this money went
to influence the decisions of the su
preme court and was solicited by and
paid to Judge Root. Judge Root a day
or two ago was summoned to Seattle
by intimate friends and the nature of
these reports laid before him. Today
he went before his associates on the
supreme bench and denied the stories
and asked that proceedings be Instituted
to determine the fttctsl ;
Investigation Ordered.
Chief Justice H. K.- Had ley today di
rected a letter to President J. B.
Bridges of the State Bar association,
requesting him to. appoint a committee
from the members of the association to
determine the truth or falsity of the
charges,- and, in the event they are sus
tained, to recommend such criminal
prosecutions and disbarment proceedings
as the facta warrant. Throughout this
letter the name of Judge Gordon' is not
mentioned, but the scope of the instruc
tions to Bridges indicated that it is the
desire that the whole matter be sifted
to the bottom. When asked as to this
point Chief Justice Hadley declared
that that was the Intention of the
court.
"During the " primary election cam
paign." said Judge Hadley, "my atten
tion was called to certain statements
made by Judge J. W. Robinson con
eerning th Integrity of Justice Root,
but the court certainly would not have
taken cognizance of them in the form in
which they were presented. The first
Intimation I had of the involving of
Judge Root's name in the Gordon mat
ter was when he made his own state-,
ment to me and his other associates."
President XUmes Committee,
President J. B. Bridges has appointed
the following committee: John H.
Powell, Harold Preston, Seattle; Judge
i. iv elites, k. u. Huason, Tacoma; ti.
M. Stephens, Spokane.
In the rumors current concerning
Judge Gordon and Justice Root, the as
sertion has been made that, Nuxcum V
Nuzium, Spokane attorneys for Judge
Gordon, have In their possession writ
ten evidence of Justice Root's solici
tation and acceptance of money to In
fluence his decisions. It Is certain they
will be called before the . investigating
committee, as will Judge Gordon.
Both Judge Gordon and Judge Root
were formerly on the superior bench
in Thurston county. Judge Gordon was
elected to the supreme bench in 184
and wa chief Justice at the time he
resigned. He Is a father-in-law of
State Treasurer George G. Mills.
Judge Root was appointed to the su
preme bench at the time of the in
crease authorised by the 1905 legisla
ture. In 1906 he was elected to a short
term and was reelected for six years
at the recent election.

POOR RUSSIANS
FOR FOR LIFE
Sure Death Is Given I3ack
Friends Appear at Chi
cago Hearing.
(United Press Leased Wire.)
Chicago, : Nov. 7. 'Apollonarls Alex
endrevitch and Christian Rudowskl,
two Russian fugitives, are fighting for
their lives on American soil. The men
are accused by the csar's government
of crimes thev deny ever having heard
of until they were arraigned before
United State commissioner Foote. Al
ready an order is out for the deportation
oi Aiexanarevucn, a tail young stuaeni,
who was arrested several days ago and
taken before the commissioner.
Upon the assertion of an interoreter
mat Aiexanarevitch expressed willing
ness to return, to Vilna for trial on
charges of forgery, he was ordered
turned over-to a representative of the
Russian government Deputy Marshal
wsinwrign,i was sworn in as a special
officer of the cxar And was given pa
pers for the deportation of Alexandre
vitch. He took the prisoner into cus
tody tonight and since - then his move
ments have been secret.
Realising that Alexandrevltch' ' de
portation mean his execution shortly
after his arrival in the czar's domains,
the Lettish . Social Democrats of Chi
cago held a meeting and telegraphed to
their agent at Washington to present
the matter to the secretary of state, if
possible, before Alexandrevltch is de
ported. ;
Alexandrevltch was a student In a
Russian university. He was dismissed
witn many otner oecause tne students
were suspected of revolutionary tenden
cies. He fled the country after inef
fectual attempts to get back into the
university. The czar consul here,
Baron Ernest Schilling, charges that
Alexandrevltchforged a certificate as
an apothecary's clerk and aided other
students In similar forgeries in their
elforts to regain admission to the uni
versity. The same kind of "proceedings were
under way for the deportation of Ru
dowskl on a charge of murder, when a
lawyer engaged by the Lettish organisa
tion appeared in court and demanded a
hearing tor the prisoner. The case was
continued.
Rudowskl is an Ignorant Lithuanian,
who was a nrlvate soldier in the revo
lutionary army of the Baltic. The Let
tish champions officials say the czar
has received pledges from high Ameri
can official for aid in the deportation
of a large number of recent arrivals
from Russia They accuse the czar's
agents of intending to order wholesale
executions oi uie men.
