MAY MEAN HIS SUPPORT
FOR PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Says That the Distinction Between a
Term as Vice President and Term
as President Is Not Well Taken
II an Official Is a Good Man He
Should be Better Fitted 10 Serve
the people After Mature Expe-
rience-Politicians Say Fulton Is
for Roosevelt.

Astoria, Sept. 19.-United States
Senator Fulton, in a statement today,
says he believes in the third term
idea. He sees no harm in a good man
acting three terms.
81 see no merit In the attempt to
make a distinction between one term
served by one who is elected as vice
president and one term elected to
serve as president. If the president
should die the vice president is ex-
pected to succeed him, hence he Is
logically elected president.
"In my judgment the opposition
to the third term Is not based on
sound reasoning. and will pot stand
the analysis. II satisfactory an Of
ficial should be better qualified to
serve. better able to carry out the
policies which the people approve" ;"
This is taken by politicians to mean
that Senator Fulton will perhaps Join
his colleague, Senator Bourne, in his
ardent campaign for President Roose-
velts denomination.

MRS. REYNOLDS ON STAND.
Sensational Testimony in Portland
iHN Murder Trial.

Portland, Sept 19.-The sensationa,
witness in the Reynolds trial today
was Mrs. Reynolds, who told the jury
of Incidents in her life with Hibbins
and minutely described the scene with
Hibbins just prior to the shooting by
Reynolds.
A. S. Pearson of Freewater, told
how Hibbins had been warned two
years ago that Reynolds was very
jealous of his wife and would kill
any man who trifled with her affec-
tions.
Eta and Harry Reynolds, children
OF the man on trial, testified that they
had seen Mrs. Reynolds kiss Hibbins.
Edward Gross testified that Mrs. Rey-
nolds had the key to Hibbins' apart
ments at the Lincoln hotel and she
appeared there the day following the
murder and collected some womanAs
clothing which she said was hers.
Reynolds will probably go on the
stand late this afternoon or tomorrow
morning. The case will go to the Jury
probably tomorrow night

Oklahoma City, Sept. 19.-Not-
withstanding the political speeches of
Secretary Taft and other "heavy
weights" opposing the new constitu-
ton and the democratic ticket of
Oklahoma, both have been adopted
by overwhelming majorities.
The constitution. carrying a pro-
vision for absolute prohibition for 21
years. was adopted by a majority of
three to one, the average majority
being about 10000, and the demo-
cratic ticket headed by Charles N.
Haskell for governor was elected by
majorities from 10000 to 10000.
While the complicated ballots,
made necessary by vote for Off
GERS constitution and prohibition. are
being counted slowly and official re-
turns are not all in, the figures CIV
en- are practically correct and the Of
fetal count will not change the re-
suit.
Four of the five congressman are
democratic and practically all of the
other officials OF the new state will
be OF that faith.
In view of the heavy vote for the
new constitution It is not thought by
prominent politicians that President
Roosevelt will refuse to ratify 1t, al
though he is known to be opposed to
many of its provisions.

la GRANDE ADMITS
JAPs TO sCHOO[
SCHOOL BOARD CONSIDERED
QUESTION ALL NIGHT
Kioto Hayshi, japanese Youth, En-
tered Ward School at the Begin
ming OF Year But School Patrons
Objected and the Board Agreed to
Admit Him, Overruling the Objec-
tions-Other Japanese Children,
But Not Adults, Will be Admitted.

After an all-night session in dis
cussing the admission of Kioto Hay
shi, japanese youth, to the public
schools of that city, the La Grande
school board finally decided to ad-
nit the boy on equality with white
pupils.
Thus was the question of Japanese
in the public schools, the question
which stirred San Francisco to fren-
zy and which threatened for a time
to cause international complications,
disposed of in La Grande.
Young Hayshi had been attending
a ward school for some time and OBJ
lection was raised by a number of
patrons of the school and the matter
was formally brought before the
board. So thoroughly did the board
discuss the matter, that 1t remained
in session practically all night before
deciding to admit the boy.
This was practically a test case,
and it is said a number of other
Japanese youths will now enter the
schools. However, no adults will be
admitted. The teachers do not OBJ
ject to the japanese in the schools,
practically all Of the objection COM
ing from school patrons.

New York, Sep. 1s.-The new Plaza
hotel, the latest addition to New
York's long list OF palatial hostel
ries, is to be formally opened next
Monday morning. The builders of
the Plaza claim that II is the costliest
and finest hotel In the world. An
idea of the enormous sum of money
spent in the erection of the Plaza
may be had from the mere statement
that It's cost was more than double
that of the magnificent Hotel Astor,
which was completed only two years
ago.
New York contains not only the
largest and most luxurious hotels of
any city in the world, but also more
of them, ranging in cost from ST.
600, 900 to s12, 100000, which latter
figure represents the cost of the new
Plaza 1t is to be further remarked
in the same connection that the most
luxurious hotels are by far the most
prosperous. The present effort is
not to build economically, but ex-
pensively-to crowd as much luxury
as possible into hotel building, for
the rich New Yorker can be counted
on to make the most lavish expendi-
ture a profitable investment.
Counting permanent and transient
guests, the five score high-class ho-
tells in the city of New York take
care of about $4,000 people every
day. The lowest estimate places the
average price paid for rooms annd
board at 1925 a day. At that rate
the receipts are s312,500 a day, or
S114,062,500 a year.
The actual cost of the new Plaza is
said to be slightly in excess OF that
Of the Waldorf-Astoria, heretofore
considered the largest and most lux
urious hotel in the world. When the
Waldorf-Astoisa was projected, al
most every one said it could not be
made to pay. Yet today it is very
profitable property. 1t is hard to i'm
agine a house with 40 magnificent
public rooms, more than 1900 guests
rooms, and accommodations for be-
tween 400 and 1900 people, being
practically filled all the time, but
these figures represent the Waldorf
Astoria's accommodations, and it is
constantly crowded.
The new Plaza occupies the site of
the old hotel of the same name at the
corner of Fifty-ninth street and Fifth
avenue, opposite the entrance to Cen
trail park and directly across from
the Savoy and Majestic hotels. The
builders figured at the beginning to
spend about $S,500,000 on the struc-
ture. but later II was found that in
order TO place the hotel in that state
of perfection which the management
claims cannot be reached by any 9TH
er hosiery in the world, it would be
necessary to add $4,000, 900 to the or
iginal cost of the furniture. And
this additional sum was added with
out the slightest hesitation.
Already, the management of the
Plaza announces, large percentage
OF the suites have been leased. The
hostelry will have as its permanent
guests some well-known people,
among them are John w. Gates, Mrs.
James Henry Smith, Alfred G. Van
derbilt, George J. Gould. C. X. G.
Billings, Mrs. oliver Hartman, Julius
Fleischmann, John A. Drake, Mrs.

Rhodes, First Witness.
william Rhodes was the first wit
ness called by the state and he told
of having gone to the scene of the
shooting with another man the night
of the killing. In the twilight they
had found the horses OF the two men
and little later the dead body Of
Myers. Afterwards they came across
Rhonimus and asked him for his gun.
The witness was required to draw
a diagram of the scene and while he
did so District Attorney Phelps PRO-
duced a shotgun and a pistol, the
weapons used by the two men In their
duel. When the diagram was fin
ished it was shown to the jury, Ac-
cording to Rhodes he had examined
Myers horse and found some shot in
his right shoulder.

THE INSIDE HISTORY Or STANDARD OIL

New York, Sept. 19.-Wesley Til
ford, Standard Oil treasurer, was to-
days first witness in the oil hearing
and gave the early history of his con-
nection with the trust which he Joined
in 1888. Ten years later be became
a trustee and attorney.
He admitted that during the eight
years of liquidation, dividends from
subsidiary companies were paid to
trust certificate holders. This point
is important as the Ohio supreme
courts order OF 1898 demands the
trusts dissolution.
Kellogg tried to show that the trust
conducted its business in open defi-
nnce with the order. Tilford said Of
fcers of subsidiary companies were
elected by stock taken out and held
by individuals.

Wallace -Shillito, A. H. Moore, Rich
ard Brewster, jackson Gourand, and
Mrs. Young Hayworth.
Some of these will pay SIS to 800
a day for their rooms, exclusive of
meals. For the famous royal suites
$500 a day will probably be asked for
short periods Though these rates
seem enormous to the majority of
people the price paid in reality is
not in excess of what 1t would cost
to maintain a Fifth avenue home,
while the worries are less and the
accommodations better. 1t goes with
out saying that the Plaza will be es-
sentially a home for the rich. 1t
marks the topmost notch in the lux
ury of metropolitan life for men and
women with large incomes who do
not care to undertake the responsible
ity of keeping a city house of their
own.
AS may readily be imagined, the
payroll at the Plaza will be immense.
The general manager Will have CHIEF
steward and half a dozen assistant
stewards. There will be go cooks, 81
chambermaids and an equal number
Of housemaids, 40 floor girls. go bel
boys, 200 walters, 75 laundresses 25
porters, 20 bartenders, 10 wine cell
lar men, fifteen BARRIERS and about
$50 women of all work in the kitchen
and elsewhere, who may be said tC
look after the immediate persona
comfort of the guests.
The chief engineer and his assist.
ants. electric light men, elevator men
plumbers, locksmiths and general re-
pair men will easily number 25t
more. Then there will be the. office
staff and the accountants depart
ment, making all in all very nearl,

be paid off every week or ever,
month. as the case may be. aside from

POSTAL RATES TO DROP.
New Foreign Rate Goes Into Effect
on October 1.

on October 1.
Washington, Sept. 19.-Beginning
October l the new foreign postal rate
adopted at the meeting of the last uni
versal postal convention in Rome in
April, will become effective. The new
rate makes the charge for foreign
postage cents for the first half
ounce and cents for each additional
half ounce instead of 10 cents for each
ounce, as the present rate prescribed.
This applies to all mail sent to for
eign countries except Canada, Mexico
and Cuba. To these countries the do
mestic rate of cents for each half
ounce still holds.
The charge of postal rate from 5tto
3 cents for each half ounce after the
first is the only important change
adopted by the last universal postal
convention. All civilized countries
were represented. each having one
vote. At present the postal rate is
governed by the Washington conven-
tion OF eight years ago.

At the district fair office this
morning the taking of entries COM
menced and the office will be con-
stantly open for such business dur
ing the next three days. Already a.
few entries had been received from
parties who were in the city from
long distances, but others were ask
ed to wait until today before making
entry.
1t is now the wish of the fair man
agement to have entries made as fast
as possible during the next three days.
Mrs. Willis, who served as stenog-
rapher to the secretary last year, has
been engaged to assist Miss Fitz Ger
aid in the work Of receiving appli-
cations and both young ladies are
now on duty.
According TO Secretary F1tz Gerald
1t is not necessary for intending ex-
hibitors to have their goods at the
pavilion at the time applications are
made. But those who are to partici-
pate are expected to register at once
and then to have their exhibits on the
ground by Saturday. 1t is hoped to
have everything in readiness by Sat-
urday evening so that but little work
will be left for Monday forenoon.
Sections So and So of the miscel-
laneous rules regarding exhibits are
as follows:
SO. An entrance fee of 10 per
cent of the first premium will be
charged in Divisions A, B, c, D, e,
F, X, o. p and Q, to be paid at the
time of making entry, but no entrance
fee will be charged in Divisions G, H,
1, L. NJ and N.
SO. When exhibitors become en-
titled to single premium, amount
ing to the value of either a gold, sill
yer or bronze medal, 1t shall be op-
tional with them to take such medal
in lieu of the money premium by
making written application to the
secretary before the payment OF the
premium.
Big Sheep Exhibit.
This morning ]. N. Burgess, man.
ager of the Cunningham Sheep &
Land company, phoned to Secretary
Fitz Gerald Of the fair commission
that they would have a band of 40
bucks on exhibition here during the
fair. Space for them has been allot-
ted and the fine blooded animals will
materially assist in making the stock
exhibit an interesting one.
TIL amount of stock now promised
for exhibition is so great that it will
be necessary for the commissioners
to build a temporary shed on Cot
tonwood street as was done last year
This shed and the 50x200 annex will
be used for the stock exhibits.

AT ll:ZO tnls IoreHoon tne tWeiLh
man for the Rhonimus jury was Sc
cured and the actual trial of the case
commenced, the opening statements
to the Jury being made by the attor-
neys before the noon recess.
p. E. Fletcher and John L. Wald-
man were the two jurors secured this
morning and It was with sighs of re-
lief that the lawyers asserted to Mr.
waldman as one of the IL. Soon af-
ter court had convened a recess had
been necessary in order to summon
more men for examination. II was
after IL when Sheriff Taylor appear
ed with Waldman and court resumed
work.
Immediately after the last man had
been accepted the jury was sworn
by County Clerk Frank Sailing and
Judge Bean asked for the opening
statements. Before they commenced
1t was ordered that all parties sum-
moned as witnesses in the case be
required to leave the court room ex-
cept while testifying personally in
the case.
For the State.
In his opening statement for the
prosecution District Attorney Phelps
reviewed the story of the killing Of
Myers by Rhonimus. Before the
shooting Myers and young Roberts
had met the old gentleman on the
road and a quarrel had followed in
which Myers called Rhonimus a
liar.
Afterwards, according to the dis
,trict attorneys resume, the two men
had been attempting to avoid Rhoni-
mus when he had come upon them.
He then pictured the fight as having
been started by Rhonimus firing at
Myers, the discharge striking him in
the body and left arm. After being
his pistol, one shot striking his em-
ployes horse in the leg, while the
second shot hit Rhonimus himself.
According to the prosecutor, the
evidence will show that Rhonimus
was angered at Myers and that he
had gotten his shotgun with the in
tention of killing him, and that he
fired the first shot after Myers had
wainly striven to prevent a fight.
Zee Says "Self Defense
In his statement of the case for
the defense, Judge James A. Fee
outlined the version of the story to
be presented by the defense. He ad-
mitted that Myers had been killed by
the defendant, but declared that the
: was done in self defense and that
had he not killed his enemy Rhoni-
mus himself would have been slain.
In his recital of the tragedy Myers
fired twice at the old man before the
latter's shotgun answered with the
charge that sent Myers headlong
down the hill. =
Horse Thieaery Charged.
Without mincing words the de-
fendant's attorney declared that Tom
Myers was a horse thief and that he
and Jim Roach, another notorious
horsethief, were training young Rob-
erts In the art at the time the killing
occurred.
He held that at the time Of the
fight Rhonimus had found Myers
and Roberts driving n band OF horses
in which were several animals be-
longing to the defendant. He deJ
clared that some OF the best men in
the county would testify during the
trial as to the good reputation of the
