Will NOT Bn CANDIDATE
ROOSEVELT MEANT WHAT HE
SAID ABOUT PRESIDENCY.
Will Take Trip Abroad, and Than It1
Is Figured Out He Will
Again Be a Candidate.1
Washington — “President Roosevelt
will not permit his name to go before
the next national republican conven
tion, in my judgment," said one of
the big leaders of tne republican party
this week. “1 believe Mr. Roosevelt
meant ^hat be said on the night of
November (i, 1304, when he was
elected president, that he would not
be a candidate to succeed himself.
Thai he regarded his election, as an
election to a second term and that at
the end of his term lie would retire
to prvate life. I have every reason
to believe that he is of the same op
inion uow.
“Hut that does not say that he will
not again be a candidate tor the high
ftflice of president. My opinion is that
at the coining national convention a
man will he nominated who, in many
ways, will reflect the Roosevelt idea.
Whether that man will he Secretary
Taft. Vice President Fairbanks or
some one yet uudrempt of f do not
know, hut I am profoundly convinced
that whoever is nominated will he sat
isfactory to the present chief execu
tive.
“With someone else in the White
House i can now see a candidate that
might prove to he mighty interesting
and in some particulars unknown in
the annals of onr political history.
“I happen to know that Mr. Roose
velt desires, above all things, to make
a tour of the world a la Bryan. Should
the president indulge the thought,
that is very close to him, and travel
with Mrs. Roosevelt on a tour of re
flecxtion and observation through the
older civilizations of both east and
west, kings and queens, emperors and
shahs will pay to him that honor due
t<> a u ex-president of the United States
and Theodore Roosevelt the man. He
will take two years in which to ‘girdle
the earth,' and if my guess Comes true
he will land in the country of his birth
just about the time the national re
publican convention is to convene in
the summer of 1912. And having had
four years of some other president,
the people will just naturally demand
the nomination of Theodore Roose
velt. and the people usually get what
they go after.
FINAL WEEK OF CONGRESS.
Appropriation Bills to Have the Cail
in Both of the House.
Washington—Aside from approp
riation hills and conference reports,
the ship subsidy bill is (he only meas
ure of general importance that is likely
to receive (lie attention of the house,
and the Aldrich financial bill probably
the only one that will receive the at
tention of the senate during this, the
closing week of the last session of the
Fifty-ninth congress. It is Senator
Aldrich's intentions to press his bill
for consideration whenever opportu
nity offers, and he is still hopefn! of
success, notwithstanding the opposi
tion. the congested condition of busi
ness and the limited time left. The
house friends of ship subsidy also pro
fess themselves as hopeful, but they
admit that every day that goes by
without action lessons their chances.

Honors for Burkett.
Washington—The reading of Wash
ington's -farewell address has become
a fixed habit in the senate of the
United Stales on every recurring an
niversary of the birth of the father
of his country. It is considered quite
an honor by senators to be selected
to read the address, and the vice pres
ident is compelled to exercise consid
erable; tact to avoid -giving offense
when lie makes the designation. His
choice fell on Mr. Burkett of Ne
braska. and the selection proved a
good otic.
Will Make Few Changes.
Washington—The senate committee
on postofflces and postroads took up
the postoffice appropriation bill. The

ELEVEN TAKEN FROM WRECK.
Soma Survivors Rescued From Steam
er Berlin..
Hook of Holland—largely as a re
sult of the courage and determination
of Prince Henry of the Netherlands,
the prince consort, that which at first
appeared to be an impossible task,
has been achieved and the heroic and
unflinching efforts of the Duth lifeboat
men have succeeded in rescuing alive
eleven more of the survivors of the
Steamer Berlin.
The gallant Dutcn lifeboat men were
rewarded after mote than thirty
hours of hard and dangerous work.
Buffeted and driven back time after
time they refused to relax their at
tempts to rescue the handful of ship
wrecked people, and finally at 3:30
o’clock Friday afternoon the receding
tide and some improvement in the
weather having made the conditions
easier, their long fight was crowned
with success.
Although several of the persons res
cued were in the last stages of ex
haustion, they are on the road to re
covery and some of them have been
able to tell of their awful experiences.
Two women and a child are still on
hoard the wreck, but it is feared that
they are dying. Nothing daunted, how
ever, the brave Dutchmen are prepar
ing to make further desperate efforts
to rescue these unfortunates.
When daylight broke a handful of
survivors of the (treat Eastern Rail
way company’s steamer Berlin, from
Harwich to Rotterdam, which was
wrecked off the Hoos of Holland,
could still be seen clinging to the
after part of the steamer. The efforts
made to rescue this survivors were
continued throughout the night, but
proved futile, owing to the furious
seas and heavy snowstorm, which
raged all night long, rendering it im
possible for the tugs or lifeboats to
approach the wreck, over which
mountainous seas continued to dash
with terrific fury. So intense was the
cold that it was thought that those
who were stili alive on the remnants
when darkness came must have been
frozen to death, but some six or eight
persons appear to have survived the
terrible experience of the last twenty
four hours.
MISSOURI TV/O-CENT LAW.
Railroads. It Is Said, Will Fight the
Enactment.
St. Ixntis, Mo.—A preliminary meet
ing of railroad men representing a
number of the roads in Missouri was
held in the office of President A. J.
Davidson of the ’Frisco system with
the view of instituting concentrated
action against the new 2-cent rate
law just passed by the legislature.
No definite course was agreed upon
owing to the absence of representa
tives of several roads from the con
ference. and the meeting resolved it
self into an informal discussion of
the effect of the new law' will prob
ably have upon passenger service
generally.
THE GRAZING LAND BILL.
Senator Surkett of Nebraska Talks on
Same.
Washington—Senator Burkett on
Friday spoke an hour on the provi
sions in the agricultural appropriation
bill for the government of the graz
ing lands in the arid and semi-arid re
gions. The committee had adopted
practically the provisions of his bill,,
placing these iands under the agricul
tural department, to -be handled in
districts and leased and regulated in
much the same fashion that grazing
rights are managed within the forest
reserves. No action was taken on the
provisions.

the tendency is now stronger than ever.
He pleaded for sibsidizing the mer
chant marine.
Dismal View by Railroads.
Omaha—That it will stop railroad
construction in Nebraska—possibly re
duce wages among the employes—
probably lower the standard of train
service or else raise freight rates, and
that it is “confiscatory,” and therefore
illegal, is the sum total of the conten
tions of the heads of passenger and
legal departments of Omaha railroads
concerning the 2-cent fare bill that
passed the house Wednesday evening.
Nominated by President.
Washington—The president sent to
the senate the following nominations:
Assistant treasurer of the United

AS MR. SHONTS SEES IT. j
DISASTER OFF DUTCH PORT
ONE LIFE SAVED OUT OF A HUN
DRED AND FORTY-THREE.
Life Savers Are Compelled to Stand
by and Watch the Passengers and
Crew Perish.
London—The worst disaster for
many years in the history of the busy
cross-channel traffic between England
and the continent occurred during a
violent gale shortly before 6 o'clock
Thursday morning, when the Rotter
dam mail steamer Berlin, from Har
wilch to Hook of Holland, having
safely weathered the hurricane, was
wrecked as it was entering port. With
one single exception all its passen
gers and crew, numbering 143 per
sons. lost their lives or are clinging
hopelessly to the wreck.
The terrific seas broke up the
steamer with such awful suddenness
that all efforts to save life appear to
have been utterly hopeless. Late in
the evening it was reported that a few
survivors were clinging to the wreck,
but as the heroic efforts all day of the
lifeboat crews had failed to reach
them little hope that they will be
saved remains.
No cause has been assigned for
the disaster and it probably never will
be known bow the steamer came to
miss the channel. It is conjectured
.that some derangement of the engine
or steering gear may have rendered
the vessel uucontrolable. Captain
Precious of the Berlin had a good rec
ord of fourteen years’ service. Tlr
list of passengers an the fated steamer
was lost and all the names of those
who were on board have not. yet been
learned, but as far as has been ascer
tained there were no Americans
among them.
A terrific, southwestely gale was
blowing right in shore and drove the
steamer on a sand bank close to the
northern jetty as it was trying to en
ter the new waterway. Heavy seas
quickly pounde^ the vessel to pieces.
It broke in two, its forepart sinking
immediately, while the doomed pas
sengers and crew could oe seen for a
brief space of time clustered on the
after part. Then the afterpart slipped
off the ledge and disappeared in the
mountainous wages. Tugs and life
boats promptly put out to the assist
ance of the Berlin when the alarm
was first sounded, but the violence of
the gale and the heavy seas made it
impossible to approach the wreck, and
the helpless would-be life savers saw
the steamer break up and the crew
and passengers washed away without
being able to render the slightest as
sistance.
London — At an early hour this
morning the Great Eastern Railway
company received a dispatch from the
authorities at Hook of Holland say
ing: “Up to the present time only one
passenger, Patterson, has been saved.
There are still some people alive on
the wreck and we hope to rescue
them.”
South Dakota Passenger Rate.
Pierre, S. D.—At the morning ses
sion of the house the 2-cent rate went
down and the 2% rose at once from its
ashes and was accepted by the house
without a protest. On the call for the
Carroll 2-cent rate he moved to strike
out all after the enacting clause and
substitute the re-enactment of the pres
ent law, with the maximum rate re
duced from 3 to 2%.
Passes Passenger Rate Bill.
Raleigh, N. C.—The state senate
passed a 2%-cent passenger rate bill,
also including the second class fare,

voted for a 2-cent rate.
Pollard Must Put It Back.
Washington—The judiciary commit
tee of the house on Thursday reported
on the resolution of Representative
Pollard which required that committee
to investigate and report upon his
right to the salary paid him by the
sergeant-at-arms for the period from
March 4, 1905, to the date of his elec
tion, July 18, 1905. The conclusion of
the committee is that Mr. Pollard had
no predecessor in the Fifty-ninth con
gress, and therefore the statute under
which the salary was paid did not ap
ply. The money will be paid back.
Prohibition Bill Killed.
Washington—The house committee
on the District of Columbia has decid
ed that it will make no report on the
Webber bill to prevent the manufac
ture and sale of liquor In the District

Hayashi Is expected in a few days.
MR SMOOT KEEPS HIS SEAT !
_
MOTION TO EXCLUDE HIM FROM
THE SENATE DEFEATED.
Numerous Speeches For and Against j
the Senator Since the Resolution
to Unseat Him Was Reported.
Washington — Senator Reed Smoot
retains is seat in the United States
senate. This was decided Wednesday
by a vote of 42 to 28. ending a long
contest. Eighteen senators were
paired, making the actual standing on
the resolution 51 for and 37 against.
Senator Smoot did not vote, and Sen
ator Wetmore was absent and not
paired.
The Smoot resolution was called up
soon after the senate convened. Every
seat in the galleries was filled and
during the actual voting the standing
room on the floor of the senate was
crowded by members of the house and
employes of the senate. Seldom has
there been a proceeding affecting the
standing of a senator that has attract
ed so much marked attention. In the
audience were representatives of a
number of prominent wuinen's organ
izations, which have been active in cir
culating and having presented petitions
of remonstrance against Mr. Smoot.
These women secured many thousands
of signatures to their petitions.
There have been numerous speeches
made for ami against Senator Smoot
since the resolution to unseat him was'
reported from the committee on priv
ileges and elections, just prior to the
adjournment of congress last year.
When the voting began Mr. Smoot
retired to the republ^an cloak room
to await the result.
Senator Hopkins offered his amend
ment to the committee resolution and
it was adopted. Under this a two-thirds
vote would have been necessary to
carry the resolution, which declared
that Mr. Smoot is not entitled to his
seat. Senator Carmack then offered a
substitute for the amended committee
resolution, a simple resolution declar
ing that Senator Smoot should be “ex
pelled.” The effect of this would be
to displace the committee resolution if
adopted and it was defeated.
Then came the vote on the commit
tee resolution as amended, which was
as follows:
Resolved, Two-thirds of the senat
ors present concurring therein, that
Reed Smoot is not entitled to a seat as
a senator of the United States from the
state of Utah.
The yeas were 2S and nays 42.

stricken out on points of order, were

accomplished by a rule presented by
the committee on rules after the bill
had been reported to the house by the
committee of the whole.
AGAINST PRIZE PACKAGES.
Omaha Joins Other Towns in Object
ing to Freight Rule.
Chicago—Representatives of com
mercial associations in this city, Kan
sas City, St. Louis, Milwaukee, St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha peti
tioned the railroads of the central and
western states to withdraw their
present rule which permits the ship
ment of prizes with other goods. They
asked the substitution of a rule pro
hibiting the •sending of prize packages
with regular consignments.
Will Not Withdraw Magoon.
Washington—Referring to published
reports of an interview with General
Andrade in Havana, in which the gen
eral gives the substance of an inter
view with President Roosevelt, it is of
ficially stated that the president did
not tell anyone he was about to with
draw Governor Magoon from Cuba and
it is added that he has not the slight
est intention of so doing at present.
General Andrade, after his talk ■with
the president, repeated the statements
he had made to the president and to
Secretary Taft.
Bryan at Columbus.

Nebraska Division Bill.
Washington—The Nebraska judicial
bill will be signed by the president be

which it went through the house.
JAPANESE ARE DISSATISFIED.
Amendment to Immigration Bill Is
Not Liked.
Toklo — The official text of the
amendment of the government bill has
been published. As expected it has
created the strongest dissatisfaction
among the interested parties, although
the movements of procedure have not
yet assumed a definite shape. The
Japanese residents of the Hawaiian isl
ands have telegraphed President
Roosevelt and the Hawaiian represent
atives in the house reporting the seri
ousness of the injury which will be
caused to their rights and interests by
this legislation.
The leaders of opinion here are
aware, however, that under the circum
stances the only alternative is to calm
ly resign themselves to the situation,
hoping that the government can ar
range with the government authorites
to reduce the sacrifice in the interest
of Japanese immigrants to a mini
mum.
They regret the enw law, lest the
Sau Francisco people, glorying in their
success, should asume an overbearing
attitude.
News of this kind would only tend to
injure Japanese susceptibilities, which
President Roosevelt has specially been
careful to avoid.
Protest from Honolulu.
Honolulu—At a mass meeting of
Japanese t lie following cablegram was
ordered sent to President Roosevelt:
“The Hawaian Japanese respect
fully protest, in the name of humanity
and civilization, and also in the name
of liberty, against the prohibition of
their emigration to the United States.
It enslaxes us permanently to Ha
waian capitalists.”
The meeting also cabled to the Jap
anese foreign office as follows:
“The Hawaiian Japanese are unani
mous in firm opposition to the action
of the American congress in prohibit
ing them from emigrating to America,
which is incompatible with the em
pire’s dignity and ruinous to Japanese
interests in Hawaii. Energetic opposi
tion, is reouested.”
'Frisco Japs Pleased.
San Francisco, Cal.—The terms of
the agreement between the federal
authorities and the Schmitz party at
Washington is acceptable to The Jap
anese of this city, according to a state
ment issued by U. Oyama, secretary
of the Japanese consulate, as follows:
“We have received no official informa
tion regarding the matter, but if the
newspaper reports are correct I am
sure the Japanese people as a whole
will be pleased with the terms. We
have every confidence in President
Roosevelt in this matter. We have
insisted that the Japanese, as a peo
ple, shall not be discriminated against,
and I believe that this is secured by
the agreement reached in Washing
ton.”

JUDICIAL BILL HAS PASSED
NEBRASKA WILL HAVE AN ADDI
TIONAL FEDERAL JUDGE.
Indications Are That Thos. C. Munger
of Lincoln Will Fill the Place
Thus Created.
Washington — The judicial bill
which passed the house Monday as s
substitute for (he senate, or so-called
Burkett bill, is the result of Judge
Norris’ earnest and persistent efforts
Judge Norris saw after amending the
senate bill and providing for two di
visions, an additional judge, marshal
district attorney and ail the machin
ery of the new federal judicial dis
tricts that such a bill could not pass
Wherever he went iu liis proselyting
for the bill he heard objections. Be
lieving that relief shou'd be given tc
the south half of the state and that
there should be a rearrangement ol
the divisions within the district, he
prepared a substitute for the Burkett
bill, which undoubtedly will become s
law, the intention of Senator Burkett
being to move that the senate concui
in the house substitute, which pro
vides for an additional judge without
creating a new district.
The divisions as outlined, seven it
number, were the result, of Judge Nor
ris' close study of geographical condi
tions in Nebraska, the trend of rail
roads and the natural contiguity ol
the counties upon certain towns ot
places where court is to be held being
closely considered by the author ol
the bill.
The seelction of Chadron as one ol
the places in the North Platte country
for holding court was at the instance
of the sub-committee ani was adopted
because it was satisfactory to Judge
Kinkaid.
Now that the bill is out of the woods
and its passage only a question of a
day or two at the most, people of the
South Platte country will have an op
portuuity to speculate o.i who the del
egation w.ll select for recommenda
tion to the president as judge. Prob
ably the man whose name is most
ta!ke>d of in Washington is that ol
Thomas C. Munger of Lincoln, who
when Senator Burkett was in the
house, was the latter's chairman 211c
campaign manager. There is also C
C. Flansburg, Judge Sedgwick, Judge
Lett on. Paul Jesson and others out foi
the place. But it is generally thought
here Mr. Munger will ge„ the plum. It
is understood a petiton signed by s
large number of the Lincoln bar is or
its way to Washington in behalf o1
Mr. Munger.

LAND RESTORED TO ENTRY.
One Hundred Thousand Acres Avail
able for Settlement.
North Platte—A few days ago th
secretary of the interior served notice
upon the officers of the United States
laud office located in this city that
they should fix a date, and cause no
tices to be published, of the restora
tion of what has heretofore been an
irrigation reserve, located in Lincoln,
Keith, Deuel and Cheyenne counties
along both sides of the North Platt;*
river. This tract was reserved under
the national irrigation law from home
stead entries under the Kinkaid, or
one-section law, and it has never been
subject to one-section homesteads,
and no entry whatsoever is now per
mitted upon this tract until May 1,
1907, when the order restoring the
lands to entry will take effect.
This order restores all the irrigated
reserve within the boundaries of the
North Platte land office district, ex
cepting about thirteen and one-half
townships in Cheyenne and Scott’s
Bluff counties. The land which is now
vacant and to be restored in this ter
ritory embraces 100,000 acres, in
round numbers. It is located princi
pally in Deuel, Cheyenne and Keith
counties, and from one to five miles
Irom the North Platte river and about
the same distance from the new Union
Pacific railroad being constructed up
this river from North Platte to Bridge
port.
DANGER IN EATING PORK.
Dr. S. K. Spalding, Health Inspector,
Warns Against Hog Meat.
Lincoln—Pork eaten raw or not
thoroughly cooked, in the opinion of
J)r. S. K. Spalding, state health in
spector, is a danger to human life.
Dr. Spalding has issued the following
word of caution:
“The recent cases of trichinosis oc
curring in this state at Hastings and
Fremont emphasize the fact that pork
eaten raw, or even not thoroughly
cooked, is dangerous to life.
“No law could he passed by the
legislature that would compel a bac
teriological examination of every car
cass that was killed for home con
sumption. and it is only in this way
the trichina can be discovered and
the meat products condemned.
“For this reason we must depend
upon the press of the state to make
known to the people in the most pub
lie way the danger there Is in eating
raw pork. This knowledge should also*
be taught in all schools, and a full dis
cussion of the subject then be had in
our homes. S. K. SPALDING,
“State Health Inspector.”
Beet Growers Want Contracts.
Culbertson—Beet growers in the
vicinity of Culbertson are desirous of
making contracts with the beet sugar
factories, but it seems the manufac
turers are not out after contracts as
heretofore. For the last four or five
years there has been quite a contest
between the American Beet Sugat
company and the Standard Beet Sugar
company to secure these contracts
from the farmers to grow beets and
every spring the territory was
thoroughly canvassed by agents. This
year the American company is in the
company doing business in Nebraska
it will not canvass the territory to
get all the contracts it wants. The
beet growing industry has reached a
stage of develonment that it will be a
serious loss to the farmers if they
cannot find a market for their beets.
Between 300 and 400 carloads of sugar
beets have been shipped each season
from this point to the factories at
Leavitt and Grand Island, and while
some of the growers have objected to
the terms of 1907 contracts, these ob
jections would not appreciably affect
the acreage that would be planted
this year, provided contracts could be
made with some reliable concern.

few miles east of this city in which
William B. Johnson, a farmer, lost his
life. A crew was at work threshing
some alfalfa and while Johnson at
tempted to make some adjustment in
.the machinery his clothing caught in
a sprocket. Before assistance could
be rendered or the machinery stopped

40 for the same, and the amount goes
