ROOSEVELT. TO-DAY.

OYSTER BAY. N. Y. July "a
Governor George R. Carter, Of Hawaii,
is telling his troubles to President
Roosevelt this afternoon. II the
President does not sympathize with
him 1t is understood that the governor
will step down and out, for he comes
with the ayowed intention either Of
winning out or quitting his job"
The post OF territorial governor in the
Sandich Islands has been a storm
spot ever since the little republic
came under the stars and stripes.
Governor Dole before him was in hot
water continually. and It did not sur.
prise the President when he learned
that Governor Carter had inherited a
bundle of troubles with the office.
The exact nature Of these troubles
has not been made plain to the people
Of the States" but it is understood
that the governor has been at swords
points with a number of other import
ant officials Of the government and
the members of the bar. When Gov.
ernor Carter landed at San Francisco
a few days ago he announced that he
would hand President Roosevelt his
resignation first and argue matters
later for he could speak more plainly
as a private citizen than he could as
a government official. Assistant Sec.
rotary Barnes is authority for the
statement that Governor Carter's res.
ignatlon has lot been received up to
date. Possibly he has taken 1t out
to Sycamore Hill with him. this after.

afternoon the President will receive

tor of st. Dominic's.
