PORTLAND, Ore, June 22.-The sec
ond day of the good roads convention,
being held at the Lewis and Clark ex-
position, was taken up with addresses
and discussion.
The report Of the committee on Gre
dentials, (which was accepted, recon-
! mended the recognition of all dele
gates registered with the secretary
and all who may register as members
of state, county or municipal organi-
cations.
Judge Scott of Salem, Ore, delivered
the opening address. He urged the
practicability of road construction by
convict labor. Martin Dodge, director
of the office of public road inquiries
department of agriculture, was the
next speaker dealing largely with the
historical feature of the good roads
movement
The address of James w. Abbott,
representative of the road division OF
the government, was one of the most
interesting papers presented to the
convention. Mr.. Abbott spoke of the
trials of the pioneers of the roadless
across the great plains.
When the convention came to the
matter of the appointment of a COM
mittee to receive nominations of Off
GERS President Moore directed that il
be passed and that the convention pass
to the next order of business. This
precipitated the most dramatic and ex-
| citing scene ever witnessed in a con-
vention in this city. No political con-
vention ever held here developed such
this announcement.
Speakers from all parts of the hall
| jumped to their feet. Secretary Rich
ardson was recognized and hotly asked
the reason for such an arbitrary action
Colonel Moore replied that the exc
cutive committee at st. Louis had de-
cided to hold an election later in the
year.
Colonel Richardson spoke in opposi-
tion to this view, contending that the
executive committee was without au-
thority to make such a ruling. He fur
ther stated that the Lewis and Clark
corporation had specifically contracted
that this should be a national" con-
vention when it subscribed $500 to
bring it here.
After Colonel Richardson and several
other delegates had spoken on the sub
ject 1t went over until tomorrow. II
Colonel Moore's contention is sus-
tanned, 1t is understood that the Lewis
and Clark corporation will refuse to
pay the amount subscribed by it.

posed. 1t is understood his condition
is not serious, but his physician was
called in last night and ordered the
minister not to leave his bedroom to-
day.
There is no intimation, however, that
this will appreciably delay the pending
negotiations. The question of tenn
porary suspension of hostilities seems
to rest with Japan. In the meantime
the chancellories of st. Petersburg and
Toxic are occupied with the selection
of the plenipotentiaries.
AS stated in these dispatches last
night, 1t can now be regarded as settled
that they will number three on each
side. An important consideration re-
quiring adjustment is the desire of each
country to appoint negotiators of equal
rank and this increases the probability
that NJ. Witte, president of the COM
mittee of ministers, may be one Of the
Russian plenipotentiaries If Japan
names the Marquis Ito, president Of the
Japanese privy council.
1t is possible that M. Nelidoff, the
Russian ambassador at Paris, may not
go to Washington. AS dean of the Rus
sian diplomatic corps he was the first
choice of the foreign office, but he is
of advanced age and his health is not
robust. Besides, M. Nelidoff is an ex-
ceedingly bad sailor and it is still an
open question whether he may not
ask to be relieved of his mission. In
such an event it is considered certain
that Baron Rosen will be appointed.

tural adviser. Architects are invited

will be 1852, ,000 the second to receive
$3.50 and the third $500.
The program of modernization, while
not complete as yet, may be said to
embrace:
First, correction of the sanitary con-
ditions, the installation of proper
plumbing and provision for heating
and ventilating.
Second to make the building fire
proof and to take out all woodwork
possible in the attic story.
Third, to provide more room for over
crowded Offices; to provide room for
committees of the legislature and for
the supreme court and the district
court of appeals.
Fourth, to treat attic and basement
in their relation to other general pur-
poses.
The commission reserves the right to
adopt and use any suggestions or ideas
or parts of plans two and three for ip-
corporation in plan one. 1t is the wish
of the commissioners that the invited
architects shall signify their willing
ness to compete by about July l. Some
six weeks will then be allowed for the
submission of plans. Then will follow
the selection of the best plan, and as
soon thereafter as may be contracts
will be advertised for and awarded,
which ought to bring the making of
awards about the middle of September.

speed were unable to gauge the dis

the Lake Shore, believes the speed of
the train was not contributory cause
to the wreck. He said that other
Lake Shore trains travel through Men

tained by the Twentieth Century last
night, which was not, Mr.. Marshall
said, above the rate of sixty miles an

for a speed of fifty-seven miles an

BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-In official
and diplomatic circles the return of the
president is awaited with great inter-
est because of the understanding that
in case there has been any new definite
step in the peace negotiations it will
be announced in a statement from the
White House.
Secretary Taft has a number Of tele-
grams from Toxic and st. Petersburg
which he will take to the White House
tomorrow, and a conference on the gem
eral situation and the outlook for an
armistice will follow. In the absence
of the president Secretary Taft has
been in charge of negotiations, but all
information on the subject has been
withheld at the state department.
Despite their strong belief that II
would greatly further the cause OF
peace If the belligerents would avoid
clash between their armies pending
the Washington conference, the presi-
dent and Secretary Taft are aware OF
the wish Of the japanese that before
asserting to an armistice they receive
more definite assurance regarding Rus
sia's intentions.
Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minist er,
is expected to return to Washington
tomorrow, and Sir Mortimer Durand
the British ambassador, will be in
Washington by the end of the week.

man of the New York Central and
Lake Shore railroads said today that
the Twentieth Century Limited train
on the New York Central and Lake
Shore will be restored at once in place
of the eighteen hour schedule on which
the train had been running for only a
few days. President Newman said
"Since the sad accident which has
happened on the Lake Shore / have
had a consultation with the operating
officials, who have explained that the
accident was caused by a misplaced
switch and was not due to the speed
of the train, and they assure me that
the present schedule can be safely
and easily maintaiend. While / agree
with the operating officials that there
is no physical reason why the schedule
should not be continued, nevertheless,
In my judgment. the time of the Twen-
tieth Century Limited should be re-
stored to the twenty hours and 1t will
be done at once.
Until the new schedule can be ar
ranged the Twentieth Century Limited
train will leave New York at $3.50 D. m
and Chicago at $3.50 p. m. as at present,
but viii run on a twenty hour schedule
