Roots New York Speech Is
a Forerunner of Message
That Congress Awaits
WOULD SHATTER
GREAT DOCTRINE
Will Point to the Japanese
Question to Show Need
of Federal Supremacy

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-President
Roosevelt in the message that he will
transmit to Congress next Tuesday on
the report of Secretary Metcalf on
in California, will, 1T Is said. take the
most advanced ground in favor of CEN
tralization of power in the Federal
Government that he has yet occupied.
1t is said that the speech of Secretary
Root I'm New York last night, which at
tracted so much attention. was but the
forerunner of this message, and that
the President will NO longer occupy
any middle ground as to the right of
the Federal Government to be supreme
foreign countries or the welfare of the
American people are concerned.
In doing this the President will meet
the attack made on his policy by Sem
ator Rayner of Maryland in the SEN
ate yesterday. In this connection it
is said that having definitely and final
ly settled in his own mind that he will
be able to combat the efforts of those
who would make him take second
for the Presidency, he
throws political expediency to the
winds and will come out as an advo-.
cate in its broadcast sense of the power
of the Federal Government to handle
not only questions connected with other
countries where their rights are con-
cerned, but also other questions of a
entire nation.
In this way the President will shove
to one side all petty and minor mat
ters and open up the broadest discus
sion of the rights of the federation of
States that has prevailed in this coun-
try since the adoption of the Federal
constitution. Tt is not to be under
stood that he will be writing upon the
subject of treatment of the japanese
at all. So far as diplomacy is concerned,
that question is being settled.
He will use the Japanese incident to
point the moral he is to bring to the
door of the Senate. It is said that the
speech of Secretary Root can be taken
as good index to the character of
which the President will pre-
cipitate upon Congress. 1t is also
predicted that there will be more mes
sages from the President than were
ever delivered at short session, and
that the country will be given ample
food for thought.

case tend more to confusion than
to elucidation, and Ach, Short
ridge and Barrett were all sug-
gesting rulings and noting excep-
tions for their clients, all in the
same breath.
"You will rule this way, Your
Honor" Il take it you will de-
eide in this way" they exclaimed
in concert. But when it was all
over and the cherished exceptions
had been reserved for the benefit
of appeal, the court had ruled with
the evident import of the Califor-
mia statutes on the alleged disabi1-
ity of Wise, about which ques-
tions the extensive citations from
the Federal practice did not seem
to have accomplished much save
delay.
Adjournment was then taken
till Monday morning, as the
Grand Jury met in the afternoon
to take up the discussion of fur
ther indictments. 1t is predict
ed that with the beginning of the
year the courts will be over
crowded with criminal cases
against the members of the ad-
ministration, and that some spe-
cial provision will have to be
made for their hearing. Other
attorneys besides Hiram Johnson
will also join Heney and Langdon
in the work of prosecution.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-People are

the remark:

But the attorney continued, al
though Ach and Barrett were evil
IDENTIFY anxious to say something,
and Ruef was getting restive. An
allusion was made to the Blodgett
case, whereupon Barrett re-
marked in an undertone:
"That is the case of Heney

What are you talking about? p
demanded Heney, rising.
Getting no answer, he repeated
his question.
I said that that was the case

Barrett was on his feet and be-

when the dispute was stopped by
the Judge.
HENEY IS SUSTAINED
The court then sustained the
objection made by Heney to the
question which AcI1 had asked
Judge Lawlor on the competency
of Wise. This apparently de-
cided the whole matter which had
been argued for the week, but Ach
and Barrett arose together, one
for Schnlitz and the other for
Ruef, and began to put the same
matter in another form, while
Barrett played the part for which
he is retained of endeavoring to
lead the Judge into confusion.

Judge Dunno called him back
with a request for facts, and il
was decided to call in Judge Law
lor and find the true state of the
case of Juror Wise. A bailiff was
sent to notify the Judge of De
partment II that he was wanted,
and he came Immediately to the
witness stand. After. the prelirn-
mary questions, Ach asked:
did Wallace c. Wise serve in

eve object" he said, ION the
ground that it is not competent
for this court to inquire into the
competency of a grand juror at
this time. That has been inquired
into by the Presiding Judge at the
time the GRIND Jury was impan-
eneled, and it was there deter
mined. We contend that that was
a final judgment, from which
there is no appeal nor prov sion
for review.
''We object for the further rea-
son that the matter alleged is not
a statutory ground for the dis
qualification of grand juror at
this time, the only statutory pro-
vision being that in subdivision 3
Of section 100 of the Code of Civil
Procedure, which refers to sec
ton 2O3 of that code, and there
never was any such section
The Judge said that as this OBJ

to an issue he did not think it
would be fair to render his de-
cision without giving the defend
ants time for more argument.

to lay a new main on Grand avenue,
consisting of Mayor Mckee, Attorneys
McMurray and Arnold and Councilmen
Beemer, Spicer and Downey, held a

will recommend the acceptance of the

outlined by Judge Lacey, with a few
slight changes, which the members of
the committee believe will meet with
the ready approval of the representa-
tives of the railroad company. These
are in the line of suggestions to clear
certain portions of the proposal, main

GRAND LODGE ABOLISHED.
Ancient order of United Workmen is
Now Under Supreme Lodge.

Ogden, Utah, Oct. AT the session
OF the grand lodge of the A. o. U. w.
held in Ogden Saturday, covering the
jurisdiction of Utah, Idaho and Wyo-
ming, it was decided to abolish the
grand lodge of this jurisdiction and
to merge the same into the supreme
lodge of the United States. This &C
ton is not local. 1t is n that is be-
ing inaugurated all over the country,
and the purpose is to remove the grand
lodges as an intermediary body, and
to have the local lodges of the order
deal directly with the supreme lodge
of the order.
1t is said that the A. o. U. w. is
particularly strong in the mountain
states, but is weak in the coast states,
and in the states of the Mississippi
valley. The change is said to indicate
that the running expenses of the order
are to be c~urtailed, and for this reason
the grand lodges of the various juris,
dictions are to be abolished, and the
expense of their maintenance and op
erations are to be eliminated.
