ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE ASKS
CANDIDATES THEIR POSITION
Bead Oat Letter to One Handred

Cuaaell to Pick a Slate.
Letter have been sent to th US candi
date for the city council on th three tick
ets by the Anti-Saloon league, through
Harry A. Stone, aecretary, aaklng where
they stand on the saloon question. Three
questions are propounded In th letter,
on asking If they favor a patrol system
for saloons, another if they favor reducing
the number of saloons and increasing th
license fee of those remaining so a to re
ceive about the same revenue a now, and
a third If they will favor th closing of all
saloons between th hour of 11 o'clock at
night and 7 o'clock In th morning.
"Th Anti-Saloon league favor a patrol
district audi a th city of Minneapolis
haa, which limit the saloon in number and
keep them within a certain bounded dis
trict." Mr. Stone writes In hi letter to
th councllnianlc candidates:
We believe that saloon in residence dis
tricts, cause more drunkenness and domestic
unhanDlnis than do they In th bualness
districts. The residence district saloon is
also a greater danger to women, and chil
dren. Red-light district saloons re con
ceded by everybody to be breeding places
for crime and aggravate the evils of prosti
tution. Following are th three question pro
pounded to the candldatea:
Will rou. If elected to the Omaha city
council, vnte for an ordinance establishing
a patrol district bounded by the following
street, and providing that no saloons shall
be lioensed outald aald district: On th

DEBATE OYERJARIFF BILL
(Continued from First Page.)
(Continued from First Pofce.)
President Roosevelt, and which. It Is under
stood, was equally so to Mr. Taft, and It Is
believed the senate will follow the example")
of the house It not again raising the ques
tion. Senate Committee.
In the senate Monday the time will he
devoted to the reorganisation of the senate
committees.. The republican , members of
the senate committee en finance will, dur
ing the week, continue their Informal con
sideration of the house tariff bill In the
hope of having their amendment well under
way when th bill I formally received
from tie houae.
Th democratic representative will meet
In caucus tomorrow night to formulate a
method of procedure In future caucuses
and also to consider the course of those who
bolted the recent caucua.
That there will be a lively contest over
the tariff bill Is evidenced by the prepara
tions that are being made by the sponsors
for the bill and by those who oppose It.
Chairman Payne, supported by his chief
lieutenant. Representative John Daliell
(Pa) and other republican members of
the house way and means committee, to
gether with Representative Broussard (Ls..),
th newly appointed democrat will be
armed with thousands of documents and
communication for the defense of the pro
vision of th Payne bill.
Anamanttlon Handy.
Tha comiu't1:.'' old room la on the house
floor of the capltol, and yesterday "field
headquarter" were established there by
Mr. Payne. The document which may be
needed when the tariff Vlll comes before the
house for debate were moved from the com
mittee room to the house office building,
and the special corps of tariff experts,
with William K. Payne, the clerk of the
committee, In command, will be ready to
supply Information to Chairman Payne at
a moment' notice.
Directly beneath the headquarters of the
Payne force ore .he headquarters of the
enemy, the democrats. Champ Clark, the
minority leader, har taken possession of
John Sharp M'-Mams' old room and waa
today occupied with the preparation of the
report of the minority. With the exception
of Mr. Broussard. the democratic members
have held "councils of war" for the last
few day In the Clark headquarters. They
have had little time In which to digest the
provisions of the Payn hill, but they hav
collected a maaa of figures and will make
a strong fight against every protective duty
In the bill unless tl la a revenue producer.
While the Payne and the Clark force will
be lined, up against each other on many
questions, there may - be several duties
which they will Join In fighting other op
position. This is due to the fact that Mr.
Payne Is not a high tariff man. When an
amendment Is offered to increase the duty
of $1 per 1.000 feet frOvlded for lumber
by the Payne bill, JO. Payne and Mr J
Clark will stand together in opposition to
tha Increased duty, and each will find that
some of his triistod aides htve deserted
him. Thla Illustrates the feeling that pre
vail throughout the membership of the
house that every member should work for
th Interest of hi Individual constituency
and that the tariff question I largely a
local one.
Oa Polat Not Controverted.
There la one point about the new hill on
which little controversy la expected In the
house, but which It is believed will be
given much consideration In the senate.
That Is the revision of the present tariff
law with regard to ambiguous phraseology.
The changes in the wording of various par
agraph and sections of the bill have been
made in accordance with the recommenda
tions of Thomas J. Dougherty, assistant
counsel of the Treasury 'department, who
ha prosecuted customs case for the gov
ernment throughout the country, supple
mented with extensive Information and
data supplied by Major Herbert M. Lord,

OYSTER BAT. N. T., March 21
Happy In the prospect of hi departviie
Tuesday morning for hla long-plamiod
African 'safari." or hunting trip, ex
PresKlent Roosevelt was the soul of good
humor today at hi home at Sagamoro
Hill, where the members of his family
gathered for a final reunion before the
long Journey to the Jungle. The x-prea-Ident
waa In high spirits and took a de
light In looking 'after his personal be
longings. W. Kmlln Roosevelt and hla
fatnlly, cousins of the ex-presldent. called
In the afternoon. Ex-Secretary of the
Interior Oarfleld visited Mr. Roosevelt
and extended his wishes for a safe Jour
ney. '
Mf Roosevelt was up with th sun to
day, aa he said, to make the moat of the
first day of spring. Nearlng diu.-c'u
time, the start waa made on foot for
Christ church, three mllea away. Mr.
Roosevelt walked with hia wife and
couRln, while Arrhle and Ethel proceeded
on foot ahead. Rev. Henry Washburn,
rector of the church, incorporated a bpe
clal prayer for Mr. Roosevelt's safe re
turn In the regular prayer.
Several of the congregation pressed
about Mr. Roosevelt at the close of the
church services and wlahed him a fine
Journey and good luck.
Mr. Roosevelt and his wife made the
long trip back to Sagamore Hill on foot
and ieemed not to mind the clouds of
dust raised by passing vehicles; rather,
Mr. Roosevelt took It as an experience
that might likely be met with on the dry
veldt outside of Nairobi, where he will
niaxe his headquartera In British East
Africa.
Inspecting; III Baaaaare.
After luncheon Mr. Rooaevelt, with two
officials of the steamship company, made
a careful Inspection of all the baggage
In order to see that everything wa right
and tlht for the four-week trip to Mom
bassa. Th baggage was checked for
Naples and will be taken to the steamer
at Hoboken tomorrow.
"I am going to New York In the morn
ing," said Mr. Roosevelt, "and will go to
the Bteamer to Inspect my quarters and
see that my personal bHggage Is safely
cared for. I aha II take with me my wear
ing apparel, rifles, ammunition, one tent
from here, books and some scientific In
struments." . Mr. Roosevelt was shown a dispatch
stating that a gentleman from the wort
would Join tho expedition here as an ad
ditional number.
"I don't know anything about It," snld
Mr. Roosevelt. "If any one else Is going
I don't know. If they try, I think there
will be aome way to etop them. There Is a
story that a man went to Texas with a
22-calibre revolver and a cowboy said to
the newcomer: 'Stranger If you shoot me
with that thing and I find It but, I'll kick
you out of Texas.' Well, If I find any one
trying to follow me, I may think of the
cowboy story."
While In that genial mood regarding his
trip, Mr. Roosevelt laughingly refrained
from talking-about it to visitor to Saga
more hill, and t6 the correspondent who
called on him today, he aald:
"I want to say now that I do not Intend
to make and will not make any statement
subject here or at Naple or Mombassa,
regarding my African trip or on any other
so that any appearing as coming from
me will be false on it face."
Many to See Him Off.
Mr. Riooscvelt seemed surprised when
informed that several delegations from
civic and political organiiatlons from vari
ous parts of the country would be at the
dock and that Beveral thousand people
would undoubtedly bo on hand to give him
a parting cheer as the steamship goes out
"Gracious me.." said Mr. Roosevelt,
"you don't really mean to say there will
be such a crowd aa thnt. Are all those peo
ple comlngT The French ambassador. M.
Juaserand, wrote me that he would seo
me at the dock. If the big crowd Is com
ing I will write the company to see that
he has no trouble In getting through the
crowd.
"I will leave here early Tuesday, and
may go by ' f Hoboken from New
York, whir course, depends upon the
weather. T....- will be no speeches or
Statements from me at the steamer."
Th lnU 'ligence that many package have
been received at the pier from varlou
friends containing everything from an as
sortment of pill to our all the ill that
flesh is iieir to in the Jungle, to ammuni
tion und guns, raued Mr. Roosevelt to
exclaim:
"1 might say now that I have engaged
all my equipment and I won't take them.
I won't even look at them. Ifa no use to
send those thing to me."
Mr. Roosevelt said he was a private cit
izen and aa sucl- he was entitled to a pri
vate cltlien' right, and would decline to
make any statements on any political af
fairs. On his nturn here tomorrow after
noon a delegation from the town Board of
Trade, hcaied by C. C. Hester Painter,
chairman of the Loard, will call at Saga
more Hill arvl present him with a set pf
resolution recently passed commending
him as cltUen and wishing him a safe
return.

Is the latest man to tell the police how
he was robbed. He says flvo men on the
rear end of a car at Fburteenth and Far
nam streets crowded him as he was board
ing tho car on March 9. He says when he
had occasion to use his pocketbook shortly
fter, he found It had gone. It contained
$43.10 and a few papers.
Chief of Detectives Savage declare that
suoh cases as Mr. Howard reports are al
most Impossible to work on, for, although
meagre descriptions of the suspected per
sons are given, the report Is made over a
week late, giving tha pickpockets a chance
to rob hundreds of other men and then
leave the city before the police get after
them. Besides Mr. Howard, three or friur
other men hav told .(.ha .police of being
robbed on street ears recently. '
John Hughes of 1308 North Twenty-fourth
