(United I'reM Lamed WJr.) :; Washington, D. C, Deo, 1, President Roosevelt touched a button in the tele graph room of the executive office at 1:80 o'clock today (Washington time), ending a current over a direct line to Spokane, Wash., and sotting in motion the . machinery- of the national apple allow.. No guests ' were present Spokane, Wash., Dec. f!l-The national apple show was opened in this city at 10:30 today. President Roosevelt touched a button at the White House. Louis W. Hill made a formal opening address this afternoon and was followed by Mayor Moore and Fv E. Goodalf. presi dent of the chamber of commerce. A floor space of 80,000 feet carries a magnificent display oP 6.000,000 apples. The upacioua state armory was at first thought large enough to house the exhibition, -but the exhibits were so numerous that several temporary struc tures were erected to accommodate the overflow display. The exhibits Include fruit fr6m many parts of the United States and Canada.- and from England, Germany, France, Norway and Japan. The show will continue through the entire week. During this time there will be lectures by heads of agricultural departments and meetings under the auspices of various horticultural societies. The primary purposes of the exhibi tion, which la the first of its' kind, are to nhow the value of the apple as a wholesome food and healthful fruit, to demonstrate its manifold uses, to gether with the value of Its by products, and to stimulate an Industry which already means millions of dol lars annually to commercial orchardists in America. Premiums to the value of J35.000 are to be awarded- and there are aleo 12 ? rises, consisting of tracts of Irrigated ruit land with perpetual water rights. The largest apple, of regular shape, with perfect stem and calyx and with out blemish, is to be reproduced in bronse. which will be1 heavily plated with gold. The reproduction will be given to the grower of the perfect apple.

"I do not believe that he Is advised of the real status of the case. I da not believe that Ms statement will have any effect." "Will Cut JTo Xoe." Max O, Cohen, the secretary of the Union Republican club, and the leader of the anti-Chamberlain movement In that organization, la solemn but offi cially optimistic. "I am a party man," said Cohen this morning. ''I believe that the party should have Its rights. I believe that there should be a Republican senator. I believe that there will he one. I do not Know wno, ana I do not care, so long as he is a Republican. Roosevelt has said a whole. lot of things, and f do not believe that his statement will cut any Ice in Orea-on." Cohen says he has not decided Just -i iniw in- incK is 10 Dft Klorie. JHe has not advised any raw what tn An and has not formulated any plan, but in L-uniium nevenneiess tnat there will be a Republican senator. Xertchem in Oloom. Jimmy Kertchem. who has been boosting the game over in the Sellwood district, is also gloomy. He led the movement which resulted In the Sell wood club taking the Initiative In sending out the now famed and almost forgotten petitions asking Statement No. 1 memhers of the legislature to repudiate their pledges. The Sellwood petition Is not accumulating signatures very rapidly and Kertchem Is grieving because of that fact. What hurts him most of anything, however, is the fact that several men upon whom he was counting have vigorously declined to sign up. The have intimated to Jimmy that It was not at all nice for him to come to them with such a petition, arguing that he was not working In a good ran Me. They have wound up their arguments by gently but firmly declin ing to have anything to do with the petitions. . Jimmy is disconsolate thereat. Since Kertchem and Cohen and a few others have been the ones Who have hoen keeping the anti-Statement No. 1 agitation alive their gloom augurs ill for their cause. With the petitions down and out. the leading and most in fluential men of their own party ar rayed against them, and all vigorously contending that a pledsre Is a pledge and should be kept and with no encourage ment being given from any of the State ment No. 1 members of the legislature, their cause is recognized by people gen erally to be hopeless. As one of the commentators on the situation puts It. "The anti-Statement No. 1 bunch have blown up on the back stretch." T. JENKINS HAW TRIAL NEXT MONDAY New York, Dec. 7.
