WiLL MT IE A GAMDIDATE
ROOSEVELT MEANT WHAT HE

Ma Candidate.
v.1
Roosevelt
will not peradthis bum to go before
the aezt natjnaal republican conven
tion, in my judgment," said -one of
the bic leaders oY toe republican party
this week. I believe Mr. Roosevelt
meant what he said a the night ot
November C. 1934. whea he was
elected president, that he would not
be a candidate to aucceed himself.
That he regarded his election as an
election to a second term and that at
the.eed of his term he would retire
to arvate life, I nave every reason
to believe that he is of the same op
inion now.
"But that Joes not say that he will
not again be a candidate for the high
oflce of president. My opinion is that
at the coming national convention a
man will be nominated" who. in many
ways, will reflect the Roosevelt idea.
Whether that man will be Secretary
Taft, Vice President Fairbanks or
come one yet undrempt of I do not
know, bat I am profoundly convinced
that whoever is nominated will be sat
isfactory to the present chief excu
tive. "With someone else in the White
House I can now see a candidate that
might prove to be mighty interesting
and la some particulars unknown in
the annals of our political history.
v "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
flection and observation through the
older civilizations of both east and
west, kings and queens, emperors and
shahs will pay to him that honor due
to an ex-president of the United States
mid Theodore Roosevelt the man. He
vrill take two years in which to 'girdle
the earth. and if ray 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 Call
in Both of the House.
Washington Aside from approp
riation bills and conference reports.
lie ship subsidy bill is the only meas
ure of general importance that is likely
to receive the attention of the house,
and the Aldrich financial bill probably
the only one that will receive the at
tcation of the senate during this, the
closing week of the last session of the
Fifty-ninth congress. It is Senator
Aid rich's intentions to press his bill
for consideration whenever opportu
nity cflers. and he Is still hopeful of
success, notwlthstandiag 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.

Washington The reading of Wash
ington's farewell address has become
a 'fixed habit in the senate of the
' United States on every recurring an
' 'niversary of the birth of the father
of his country. It is considered quite
-en honor by senators to be selected
to read the address, and the vice pres-
iden't is compelled to exercise consid
erable tact to avoid .giving offense
: 'when he makes the designation. His
choice fell on Mr. Burkett of Ne
braska, 'and the selection proved a
good one.
WiM Make Few Changes.
Washington The senate committee

ELEVEN TAKEN PROM WRECK.
Some Sunft vera Rescued-From
or 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 flrst
appeared to be an impossible task,
has been achieved and the heroic and
unflinching efforts of the Data lifeboat
men have succeeded In rescuing alive
eleven more of the survivors of the
Steamer Berlin. . -
The gallant Dutcn lifeboat men were
rewarded after more 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 hi the
weather having made the conditions
easier, their long fight was crowned
with success.
Although several of the persons res-.
cuod 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
board 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 Great Eastern Rail
way company's steamer Berlin, from
Harwich to Rotterdam, which was
wrecked off the Hook 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 still 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 TWO-CENT LAW.
Railroads, It Is Said, Will Fight the
Enactment.
St. Louis, 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.

Same. ,
Washington Senator,. Burkett on

DISASTER OFFDUTCH 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-
w'ilch 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 sucn 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 how the steamer came to
miss the channel. It is conjectured
hat some derangement of the engine
or steering gear may have rendered
the vessel uncontrolable. Captain
Precious of the Berlin had a good rec
ord of fourteen years' service. Tb
list of passengers on 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 sonthwestely gale was
blowing right In shore ami drove the
steamer on a sand bank close to the
northern jetty as ft was trying to en
ter the new waterway. Heavy seas
quickly poundeu the vessel to pieces.
It broke in two, its. forepart sinking
immediately, while the deemed 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 ha the
mountainous wages. Tags and: life
boats promptly put out to the assist
ance of the Berlin when the alarm
was first sounded, but the violence of
the gate- and the heavy seas made it
impossible to approach the wreck, and
tiie helpless would-be life savers saw
the steamer break up and the crew
and passengers washed away without
I being able to render the s&ghtest 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 ene
passenger. Patterson, has been saved.
There axe 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. Ob 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,
which is made 2 cents. The house bad
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

V'-'K
MR SMOOT KEEPS HIS SEAT
MOTION TO EXCLUDE HIM FROM
THE SENATE DEFEATED.
Numerous Speeches For and Against
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 women'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 anu 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 republican cloak room
to await the result.
Senator Hopkins offered his amend
ment to the committee resolution and
it was adopted. Under tMs 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 t was -defeated.
Then came the vote on the commit
tee resolution as amended, which was
as follows:
Resolved,. Two-thirds of toe 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 Utan.
The yeas were 28 and na'ys 12.
HOUSE PASSES POSTAL. BILL.

riers Reinstated.

pest road's; passed the house- Wednes
day. AH the provisions relating to
Increased pay, affecting 90 per cent of
the postal employes, which were
stricken out on points of order, were
restores to the bill. This action was
accompBsbed 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 Town in Object
ing to Freight Rate.
Chicago Representatives of com
mercial associations in this city, Kan
sas City, St. Louis, Milwaukee, St.
Panl, Minneapolis and Omaha peti
tioned the railroads ot 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 aad to
Secretary Taft.

Nebraska Division Bill.
Washington The Nebraska judicial
bill will be signed by the president be
fore the end of the week, having
passed the senate in the exact form in
which it went through the house.
JAPANESE ARE DISSATISFIED.
Amendment te Immicratiea Rill Is
' Net Liked.
Toktt, The omcial tsxt of the
amendment of the government Mil has
been published. As expected It
created the strongest
among the Interested parties, although
the movements of procedure have not
yet assumed a definite 'shape. The
Japanese residents of the HawaUam vi
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
San 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 the 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 requested."
'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." INDICT THE RAILROAD.

- WaeUagtba The judicial hoi
which passed the house Monday aa a

Norria' earnest and persistent efforts
Judge Norria saw after amendlag the

visions, aa additional jadge, marshal

ery of the new federal judicial dls
tricts that such a bill could not pass
Wherever he went in Ids preselyttai
for the bill he heard objections. Be
Ueving that relief should be given tt
the south half of the state and that
there should be a rearrangement oi
the divisions within the district, he
prepared a substitute for the Burkett

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 is
number, were the result of Judge Nor
ris' close study of geographical condi
tlons in Nebraska, the trend of rail
roads and the natural contiguity of
the counties upon certain towns ox
places where court is to be held being
closely considered by ihe author ol
the bill.
The seelction of Chadron as one ol
the places In the North Platte countrj
for holding court was at the instance
of the sub-committee and was adopted
because it was satisfactory to Judge
Kinkald.
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
portunity to speculate oa who the del
egation wll select for recommenda
tion to the president as judge. Prob
ably the man whose name is most
talked of in Washington is that ol
Thomas C. Munger of Lincoln, who.
when Senator Burkett was in the
house, was the latter's chairman anc
campaign manager. There is also C
C. Flansburg. Judge Sedgwick. JuCge
Letton. Paul Jesson and others out foi

here Mr. Munger will get the plum. I

Dr. S. K.
Warns Against Hog Meat,
Lincoln Pork eaten raw or not
thoroughly cooked. Ia the opinion of
JJr. S. K. Spalding, state health ua
specter, is a danger to human life.
Dr. Spalding has Issued the following
word of caution:
"The recent cases of trichinosis oc
carriag ia this state at Hastings aad
Fremont emphasize the fact that pork
eaten raw. or even not thoroughly
cooked, is dangerous to life.
"No law could be passed by the
legislature that would compel a bac
teriological examination of every car
cass that waa killed for home con
sumption, and it is only la 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
lic way the danger there la hi eating
raw pork. This knowledge should also
be taught in all schools, aad a full dis
cussion of the subject then be had la
our homes. S. K. SPALDING.

Growers Want Contracts.
Calbertson Beet growers ia the
vicinity of Calbertson 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 Sugar
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 an the coutiacts It wants. The
beet growing industry has reached a
stage of development that it will be a
serious loss to the farmers if they -cannot
find a market for their beets.
Between 300 and 409" 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 190T contracts, these ob
jections wonld not appreciably affect
the acreage that would be planted
this year, provided contracts could be
made with some reliable concern.
