ROOSEVELT SAYS
He WANTS A 10GA
Makes No Secret of His Desire to
Enter the United States
Senate.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Feb. 2-Wililarn E. Curtis
in a Washington special to the Record
Herald says:
Jacob Riis may seek notoriety by
proclaiming third term for the presi-
dent, and other idolators may hope and
pray for such a thing, but Theodore
Roosevelt will not be betrayed or be-
come entangled by his fool friends. His
destiny is marked out for him and when
he has finished his presidential term he
hopes to- get a job at the other end Of
the avenue.
In the meantime he intends, if posi-
BILE, to travel and do eplittle shooting.
But he could not find ste.ssly employ
ment as a hunter and traveller, and his
ambition rests upon seat in the
United States senate.
Talk About Harvard.
There has been some talk of making
him president of Harvard college and,
If you will make inquiries at Cam
bridge, you will find many people who
consider the matter as good as settled.
Down there they will tell you that, al
tho President Eliot is old and weary,
he intends to hang on until the end Of
Roosevelt IS term and keep the presi.
Dental chair warm for him.
But, altho scholar by instinct and
devoted to the welfare of his alma
mater. Colonel Roosevelt does not feel
fitted for such position. It does not
suit his tastes. He wants more active
life. and likes politics better than any
one occupation.
No Shelf for Him.
There is ole thing certain, and that
is that he does not intend to be placed
on the shelf. When his term as presi-
dent expires he will be a few months
past 81 years old; Just at the prime of
manhood, and the period of highest USE
fulness. He makes no secret of his am
bition to come to the senate from tho
state of New York. He talks about it
freely and anyone who has doubts
on the subject has only to call at the
White House and introduce that topic
of conversation. The president will tell
him frankly that he intends to hunt
and travel for year or so and then re-
sumo his active interest in politics and
make the senate if possible. Hesde-
clares frankly that his ambition lies
there and that he hopes to realize it.

ATTACKS DULUTH
BOARD OF TRADE
Attorney General Brings Action
Under Antitrust Law
Of 1899.
Declares That Board Under It's
Rules Monopolizes Grain
Trade at Duluth.

Action by the state to dissolve the
Duluth Board of Trade was begun to-
day.
Suit is brought by. the attorney gen
eral, under the antitrust law. The
complaint, which was served in Duluth
today, charges the Board of Trade with
being an unlawful combination in re-
straint of trade. The action grew out
of the complaint by the Minnesota
Farmers exchange. which was denied
membership in the Duluth board. and
claims that the board has refused to
allow any Of it's members to handle
grain consigned to them by the ex-
change. This has barred them entire
", it is claimed, from the privileges, Of
the Duluth market.
The state will preserve the evidence
Of the Farmers exchange, but will
also claim that the bylaws Of the
board themselves are illegal. Special
reference is made to rule 26, which
siders and in section provides:
| "Any member Of the Duluth Board
! of Trade who shall become the agent
| of, or who shall handle grain on COM
mission, or otherwise, for any person,
| firm or corporation, when such person,
| firm or corporation is known to be buy
ing or handling, or has attempted to
buy or handle, grain for less rates of
| commission than provided in this rule,
| such member shall be considered as
having violated this rule and be held
subject to the penalties prescribed.
! Papers in the case have been pre-
pared by, R. A. Stone, assistant attor-
ney general, under the direction of
| Attorney General Young, who ap-
proved their form before leaving for
the insurance conference at Chicago
They were sent last night to the sheriff

= Without any doubt, the tariff is to be

year-assuming that rate legislation
substantially as the president wants it

if so, it will be the chief issue in the
