SPOKANE, WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY,
MUzzLES THIRD
TERRIERS
PRESIDENT WAVES BIG STICK
OVER HEADS OF GEORGIA
POSTMASTERS IN CONvEN-
TON TODAY.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-De-
spite what plans some of the en-
thusiastic Roosevelt third-termers
may have had in relation to today's
convention of Georgia postmasters
at Macon, when all postmasters of
first, second and third class Offices
are to gather and complete an Or
ganization known as the Presiden-
tial Postmasters' association, no
word in relation to the coming
presidential campaign will be heard
from the platform of the conven-
ton. The delegates may speak of
politics and policies, but If so it
will be with bated breath and in
soft whisperings.
Anticipating that the organiza
ton of the Georgia association
might result in some void third
term talk, President issued orders
late yesterday to Assistant Post
master Hitchcock not to permit any
federal office holders in the south
ern states to go to the republican
national convention next summer
under instructions favoring the
nomination of the president for a
third term.
Hitchcock Is to address the post
masters today and the presidents
message will be delivered in this
way. The president does not OBJ
ject to postmasters taking part in
political conventions, but insists
that men who owe their positions
to him shall not be active in any
third term movement.

The above confession, revealing
the character of Albert Graham,
was made this morning by AL Ad-
Olson, who Is in st. Luke's hos
pital, to Chief of Police Rice. This
was the first time since the deadly
explosion a week ago that Addison
has been able to collect his
thoughts sufficiently to make a CO.
herent statement He has all along
seemed willing to tell all he knew
but was unable to do other than
state that the three men were
boiling the deadly explosive out of
the dynamite sticks.
Today he told his story in de-
tail and when the chief told him
that Charles H. Dean. who is now
confined in the county Jail as a
suspect, had refused to tell any
thing, he was dumbfounded.
Following is Addison's story:
"The three of us, after Graham
said he would show us how the
nitro was boiled out of the sticks
of dynamite, went out to Natator.

Mantle in a tin can which he had
picked up just before we started

case. | came to here in the hos
pital and didn't know how | came
to be injured until told of the ex
| plosion."
Dean, however, has steadily
maintained that he did not know
how the explosion occurred or that
any dynamite hda been taken out
there. He gave 1t as his impress
sion that dynamite was concealed
under pile of rocks where they
built the fire. He said Graham had
sore feet and took the tin pal
along so he could heat some water
and soak his feet. Whenever held
closely to the questions regarding
Graham, Dean would shrug his
shoulders and refuse to make any
| further statement. Constant sweat
ing by the police failed to elicit q
more comprehensive story.
Feeling certain that Dean knew
| more of the affair than he cared
to tell, Chief Rice kept him lock
ed up and evaded habeas corpus
by releasing him on demand OF
the court and arranging that
Sheriff Doak should again imprison
him.
There is discriminating evidence
against Dean. Witnesses to the
| explosion stated that after he was
thrown to the ground by the shock
he got up, went back to where the
| fire had been and took something

Men who were schoolboys from mr.

change in the RECOMMENDATION of
Latin has taken place since their time.
Nearly every school and college and
university has substituted the Roman"
pronunciation for the English method
which used to prevail. And yet the
modern schoolmaster, both here and in
england, laments the fact that the Ro-
MAJ nan pronunciation makes no Roadway
The ,old-time schoolboy laughs at him.
He knows why it u.s. Each years
