Washington, April 9. Tho last
Lbt In tho minds of politicians aa
Uhe probability of Roosevelt plung-

son, has disappeared, following tho
icluslve authoritative statement of
:e United Press yesterday that Rooso
Self IH discuss political mattors at
ome, as soon as he hu talked with
i-Forester Gifford Pinchot, and ex
cutor Elihu Root.
The morning papers throughout tho
ut followed this statement and
j much space to Roosevelt's prob-
Ible attitude.

tho details of tho political moves
mndodurlng his absence, and that ho
will know tho whys and wherefores
of tho changes that havo corau about.
While It is believed that ho will
keep out of tho Insurgent light long
enough to forestall charges of 111
coiiBldered action, If is pointed out
that ho still has tho, habit of doing
tho unexpected, and a statement re
garding tho insurgent movement,
soon nfter his 'return to America, will
not cause much surprise In political
circles.
In fact many political leaders In
Washington would not bo surprised
If Roosevelt's home-coming were
made the time for tho exploding' of a
polltllal bomb. Insurgents are de
lighted oyer tho correspondents' dis
patches from Italy that state, while
not directly quoting the former pres
ident, that ho still admires Congress
man Victor Murdock, the Kansas In
surgent leader.
It Is pointed out that the standing
of tho correspondents precludes any
misrepresentation of Roosevelt, and
the fact that Roosevelt never has any
difficulty In getting his views printed,
even, when refraining from giving di
rect .interviews.
Roosevelt's political and official at
titude towards Aldrlch and the things
Aldrlch stands for are being pointed
out today In connection with the fact
that most men opposing Balllnger
ism, Cannonlsm and tariff are person
al and political friends of Roosevelt,
who stood with them during his ad
ministration in the fights he made
against the "Aldrlch policies."
This, say politicians who are eager
to know what attitude tho former
president will assume when he re
turns to his own country, is a strong
indication that Roosevelt will join
tho insurgent cause on June 15.

STREETS THRONGED TODAY
AND THERE IS HUT ONE OPIN-
, vION AND THAT IS: "THE BEST
HORSE SHOW EVER HELD IN
THE STATE."
Like yesterday morning the day
broke cloudy but before It was far
on Its journey tho clouds had almost
cleared away and the crowd at the
horse show arena was even greater
than that of yesterday afternoon
and considerable more interest and
enthusiasm was evinced with rela
tion to the horses on exhibition and
tho awardment ot tho prizes to tho
winners. ,
All of yesterday afternoon and all
of the forenoon today was consumed
in passing judgment on tho many
handsome horses on exhibition
The immense cro,wd sat patiently
through the slow work and from
time to time expressed its admira
tlon for the animals and it was lib
eral with its applause whenever the
judges announced the name of a
winner of a premium.
Parade of Premium Stock.
The show this afternoon opened
with a parade of the premium stock,
The procession was led by the Salem
Military band and the line of march
was the same as that of yesterday
forenoon. Tho streets of the city
during the parade were lined with
people clear from the arena to the
business section of tho city and as
soon as it was over the throngs
wound their way to the arena where
tho auction sale Is taking place thl3
afternoon.
The auction sajo Is in charge of J
A. Cooper, auctioneer. A large mini'
her. of the horses on exhibition havo
been listed and It was predicted this
afternoon that boforo tho show
closes this evening many handsome
horses will havo changed hands at
fancy prices.
Jlcst Show of All.
Despite tho" Inclement weather
which prevailed on the day previous
to tho show and also prevailed to a
certain extent on the first day and
wh'ch no doubt Interfered with tho
success of the show from the view
point of attendance It is universally
agreed that tho horso show was tho
best over givon In the city. It Is
stated by those who saw the show
of last year that thoro was not
quite as largo a number of horses
In evidence at tho present show
as at tho fornvor, but that thoro was
a grea'tor variety of stock, ond that
taking It all In all, tho grade was
superior.
Whllo tho show because of the
weather did not roach tho propor
tions planned by tho Salem Horse
Show association, tho management
Is pleasod with the showing made,
and has been the recipient of many
congratulations from tho horsemfin
In attendance and thoso Interested
In tho Btock Industry.

Illinois Professor Takes a Fall
Out of "Tama Jim," says His
Teachings Are "Damnable,
Abominable, Disgraceful."
IT IS A STINGING CRITICISM

UNITED PILEBS LI AS CD W1KX.1
Chicago, April 9. It Is believed
here today that Secretary Wilson will
probably make a reply to the sting
ing criticism of himself and teachings
which Professor Cyril G. Hopkins, of
the University of Illinois, delivered
yesterday In an address before the
City club.
In his address the characterized
Wilson's teachings as "damnable,
abominable anil disgraceful."
He said In part:
"Practically all soils contain suffi
cient plant food to produce good crop
plelds; thus supply will be Indefinite
ly maintained,"
"So far as the present outlook Is
concerned the nation posesses amfile
resources in its soil for every con
ceivable increase in population for
several centuries.
"The soil Is the one IndestructlbleJ
Immutable asset that the nation pos
sesses. It is the one resource that
cannot bo exhausted, that cannot be
used up.
"From tho modern conception of
tho nature and purposes of the soli It
is evident It cannot wear out, that so
far as the mineral food Is concerned,
it will continue automatically to
supply adequate quantities of plant
food for crops.
"As a national asset the soil is safe
as a means of feeding mankind for
untold ages to come."
After ho had cited these quotations
Professor Hopkins said:
"Can you blamo tho farmers for
continuing to wear out their land
when these are tho teachings promul
gated from tho highest authority In
the United btates? And these false
teachings are ah the more damnablo
because the common soil typo on the
abandoned farms In Maryland, only a
few miles from Washington, contain
only 1G9 poundB of phosphorus In the
plowed soil of an acre, whllo tho
richest black prairie soil of Illinois,
with a
valuo of 300 an acre, con-
THfe FARMER'S REVENGE; OR,
'
tains more than 2000 pounds of phos
phate in the same stratum."
As a remedy for the rapid wearing
out of farms, Professor Hopkins sug
gested pulverized phosphorous rock,
as is to bo found on tho public do
main.

CHARLES GENTRY PLEADS GUIL
TY TO ASSAULT AND BATTERY,
BUT IS PAROLED BY JUDGE
BURNETT.
To bo Indicted by tho grand jury
over the recommendation of the dep
uty district attorney, WInslow, to bo
arrested and upon being ' arraigned
before the court to plead, guilty to
tho charge preferred against him, to
havo tho court impose sentence and
in tho next breath parole him, was
the experience of uharles Gentry this
morning In the circuit court. '
Gentry is a young man, and the In
dlctment returned against him
charged him with assault and battery
upon Albert Flosu, at Mills City
When tho matter came up for consid
eration before the grand jury Depu
ty District Attorney WInslow recom
mended that no Indictment be re
turned, as, In his opinion, there was
a lack of evidence, but tho jury took
a contrary view, and returned an In
dictment.
Judge Shovs Mercy.
This morning ho appeared before
Judge Burnett for the purpose of
pleading to tho Indictment, waived
tho right of counsol, and pleaded
guilty. Prior to imposing sentence,
Judge Burnett asked for his story of
tho affair, and, after listening to it,
mado up his mind that it was a caso
where clemency should bo shown, as
It was shown that Gentry had been
goaded by Fluso, and otherwise Im
posed upon, until he' had to defend
himself, and also that his manner of
defense was mild. Under tho law tho
court was bound to Impose sentence,
and tho minimum sentence which
could be Imposed was a fine of $25.
Ho Imposed this fine, but availed him
self of tho .provisions of tho parole
law, and Immediately after Imposing
sentence, had Gentry paroled.

Oakland, Cal., April 9. Tho car
dinal of Stanford University tri
umphed over tho California "blue
and gold" today in the eighth annual
intercollegiate regatta on Oakland es
tuary. - Tho Stanford "babies," in four
oared shell, beat their freshmen riv
als of the State University by four
lengths over a mile course. No start
ing time was recorded, and thereforo
tho tlmo for tho distance could not
be obtained.
tho Stanford 'varsity eight covered
a course-of 1 4-5 miles in nine, min
utes flat, and finished two lengths
ahead of their rivals.
Tho finish of tho -varsity raco was
attended by great excitement when
the tlmo keeper announced the figures
In which It had been rowed. :
"Nine minutes flat," ho yelled, and
the majority who heard him believed
that tho Stanford crew had covered
a full two miles in that time, thereby
establishing a new world's record.
Later, however, It was announced
that the actual distance was 1 4-5
miles.
Tho race waa not rowed with the
sanction of tho executive committee
of either college. Both committees
had refused to recognize boat racing
as an Inter-colleglate sport. That did
not deter tho students from entering
into competition, although tho results,
were not official.
Tho Informality of the meet did not:
deter thousands of adherents of both'
sides from lining tho banks of the
estuary and cheering on their crqws.
The Ideal weather conditions brought
out a record crowd.
Tho freshman raco was tho first to
bo run. Tho blue and gold four-
oared shell had the better of tho start
but was soon overtaken by tho Stan
ford babies, who quickly forged
ahead and hold tho lead until tho

and steady stroke.

tho Stanfords wore all new men but

Stroked tho freshmen, was transfer
