PRESIDENT OPPOSES ~possrsm."
Hopes TBaf New York is Done With
 Political slavery.

Washington. Nov. 29.-President Roosevelt has declared himself against "bossism" in New York city politics. His declaration has been made empha- tic in letters to personal friends re- garding the selection of a president of the Republican committee of New York county. He has suggested the names of five or six men, any one of whom in his Judgment would prove an accep- table chairman of the New York coun- ty committee, but he has let it be known that he has not attempted to dictate the selection of any candidate.
 He expressed an opinion as a citizen that whoever is s'chosen chairman should be a man of the highest character and reputation and should possess the necessary independence to make 1t cer- tain that he would conduct the affairs of the Republican organization in New York county on a high plane of efficiency and integrity without regard to any boss of any machine.
 President Roosevelt has not declared himself in favor of selection of Repre- sentative Herbert Parsons or Repre- sentative J. Van V. Olcott, or anybody else as the chairman of the New York county committee. although both Mir. Parsons and Mir. Olcott were included in the list of men, any whom the Presi- dent believes would make an accep- table head of the committee.

Fire Used to BaAie Police in Pool Room Raid. .f


 New York, Nov. 29.--Fire was used to baffie the police today in one of the biggest race track pool room raids made in New York during recent months. Forty men were arrested in the raid.
 The alleged pool room was on East Eighth Street on the third floor of a five-story building. When the police appeared. paraphernalia was heaped on the floor of the room and set on fire. Although the building itself caught fire, the men in the room locked them selves behind steel barred doors and raising the windows so that the smoke could escape. they shouted in unison. Fire! Fire?'
 A panic immediately broke out in all parts of the building in which there were factory girls, who rushed down the stairs upon the police and who had to be rescued and quieted before the raid could continue.
 The streets below were filled with a bowling crowd whose efforts to locate the fire and to help the girls still more impeded the police. When the officers entered the room the last yestiges of what they charge was the evidence they hoped to secure was burning on the floor. The fire had already spread to one of the walls but was extin- guished by the police

 As Nation.

 The Koreans. the minister added. do not decline to recognize Japanese pre- dominance in Korea, but they do not wish to see their methods, institutions and customs transformed into Jnpa- nese methods, institutions and customs, thus undeniably involving great conse- quences to the patriotism of the Kor- cans.
 The minister, however. was hopeful of success through President Roosevelts s mediation or advice. and concluded with saying that the emperor and people of Korea while fully recognizing the Japa- nese rights as paragraphed in the Rus so- Japanese treaty regard the violent means which the Japanese adopt in gov erning Korea as unjust and claim that the powers should not permit it.

DELANEY SERVES NOTICE.
VIII Appeal for Re-Argument of Judge
 Amends Order.

New York. Nov. 29.---Notice was served today by Corporation Counsel Delaney on counsel for W. R. Hearst that an appeal would be made Friday morning for re-argument of Judge Amends order to open the ballot boxes from five election districts.
 The purpose of the appeal Is to per- init the corporation counsel to oppose the recount of the ballots in the five boxes except to make a tally of their total number unless the number should not agree with the returns of the bal lot clerks.
 The appeal will be opposed by coun- seI for Mir. Hearst, who demand a complete inspection of each and all the halIots. In view of Mayor McClellans decision not to oppose the order issued by Judge Amend, the action of the cor poration counsel caused considerable surprise.
