ANOTHER TERM
Would Mean Reelection Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

Washington, June IA clash with
Japan on the Pacific ocean over the
possession of the philippines would
mean third term for President Roose-
welt, and nothing on earth could pre-
vent his denomination aud election.
Even though the trend toward hostili
ties should not reach an actual declar-
alton OF war before next summer, Off
cials and political Washington is ready
to stake its reputation on the name of
Roosevelt
That there will be a long and posi-
bly, a serious diplomatic correspond -
ence between Washington and the
powers of Europe over the japanese
question now seems assured France
already has made advances, which in
the opinion of the diplomatic corps
here, is significant, if not ominous.
The Japanese complications will de
mand lirmness, fearlessness and frank
ness, and this of course, is expected
from the Roosevelt administration.
Under the most favorable conditions
the Democratic party is not in con
dition to pat UP much of fight in the
next national election. With the,
country preparing for war, the people
would not be ready to change admin
istrations and Theodore Roosevelt
would be unanimously elected.
Japan's first move would be against,
the Philippines, and this country
would be called upon to defend its
possessions in that part of the globe.
With war excitement prevailing at its
heighth, that contest with Japan
would bring about, the president
would be forced to reconsider his de-
termination not to take another mi
nation. This is the only condition un-
der which the president would accept
another nomination. Those who, are
talking third term for the president are
not consulting his wishes, or do not
realize how firm he is in the determi-
nation to retire at the close of his pres
ent administration.

A Fast Game.

A large number witnessed the Sum

Zig bunch of rooters, who certainly
oyerworked their lungs in behalf Of the
team, and as luck would have it, they
rooted not in vain. The game was a
good one; spiced by many fast plays.
Up to the 9thinniHg the score stood 2
to 2,when, by reckless playing on the
part of the Pierre team, Philip secured
Three runs. The locals did not score.
But, Pierre seldom, if ever, won Sun

Party Rate Tickets.

A far reaching decision has been rem.
dered by the interstate commerce COM
mission respecting "party, rate tickets
Various railways of the country have
been proceeding on the theory that
such tickets applied only to theatrical
or amusement companies. The com
mission holds, however, that the trans
portation of such amusement compan-
les on party rate tickets would be sim
iliar to transportation where the same
number of persons not belonging to
such company offered to travel and
that, therefore, the tickets must be
opened to the use of the general public.

JAPS INVITING A JAR
Are Accusing Feeling in Jadan
Antagonistic to Uncle Sam.

That the Japanese of the Pacific
coast and the progressives, political
party Of Japan, have entered into an
alliance which have the earmarks Of an
international conspiracy with the over
throw OF the present ministry in Japan
and the annulment of the clause in the
immigration bill excluding Japanese
coolie labor from the continental I'm
tied States as the ultimate objects, was
learned anthoritatively Saturday last.
The preliminary steps in this scheme,
it is said, will be to induce the Toxic
government to recall Viscount Aoki,
the japanese ambassador to the United
States, to demand an apology and
perhaps an indemnity from this gov
eminent for the alleged acts of violence
against Japanese subjects residing in
San Francisco.

Thousands of dollars are being raised
by the Japanese OF the Pacific coast to

bill and the guarantee of the natural

residing III this country.

NO SUSPICION OF GRAFT
Every Charge in Connection With
Panama Canal Investigated

Washington, June 29.-"After investigat-

to my attention, whether apparently well
founded or not, / have been unable to
find a single penny of graft going to any
one in connection with the 1sthmian

This statement was made by Secretary
Taft today when his attention was called
to the statements that special accountants
had been sent to the Isthmus TO examine
the books of the disbursing officers of the
commission. Secretary Taft announced
that he had sent to the Isthmus a com
petent accountant to look into the meth
DDS of keeping the cOmTnissary accounts
there. and to prepare new method
whereby the commission will be, able to
ascertain better the cost of supplies and
the proper price to which they should be
sold to employees. Some inquiry had de-
veloped that the commission was making
too large a profit out of the cOmmissary
and. rather than have this happen, the
government will provide more liberal
bill of fare, it's object being to keep up
the food supply at q high standard. There
was no evidence of graft, however, the

tleships today Secretary Metcalf, with
a view to giving encoura cement to all
OF the armor-prOducing concerns, while
insuring to the government the lowest
possible rates, decided the contract
among the three bidders. The Midvale
company had arranged their bid so as
to make special price for what are
regarded as the easiest forms of armor
plate to produce and their bid was
the lowest for the greater part of the
armor. This bid was rejected by Sec
rotary Metcalf and was consequently
rearranged to meet the wishes of the
department. At the same time the
Midvale company was notified that if
1t ultimately wished a share of the
business il must reduce its bid to the
level of the lowest bidders which it did,
Consequently Secretary Metcalf was
able to announce today that he had
awarded as follows.
To the Bethlehem company 1890
tons; to the Carnegie company. 3,545
tons, and to the Midvale company, 1880
tons class A armor, at $3.50 per ton,
and class B, c and D at $500.

Another recent tragedy in the train
robbing line also touched Chicago closely.
Mr.. Pinkerton's story of it follows:
"A gang of yeggman held up a through
train of the Illinois Central railroad near
Harvey Ill, on the night of August !.
1904 The express car was not attacked.
but at the point of revolvers the passen-
gers were compelled to deliver to the
robbers their money and valuables. These
hold-ups were traced to St Louis lOdg-
ing house by St. Louis and Kansas City
police detectives, and as he was leaving
the house one Of the men suspected of
having committed this crime was arrested
by the St Louis detectives When others

This One Is Unique.

One of the most daring train rObberies
recounted by Mr.. PinkertOn was the fol-
lowing:
September go 1891. oliver Curtis Perry
boarded a New York Central railroad
train near Utica while the train was in
motion. cut his way into an American
Express company car. and, covering the
messenger with revolver, stole S5,OOO and
some jewelry therefrOm, cut the air
brakes which reduced the speed Of the
train. and made his escape.
February q, 1892, Perry again boarded
an express train near Syracuse, n. Y,
concealing himself on the roof of the ex-
press car until the train was in motion,
when. with a hook and rope fastened to
the roof of the car while the train was
moving at fifty miles an hour, he lowered
himself to a window and, covering the
messenger with a revolver ordered him
to throw up his hands. The messenger
attempted to pull the bell cord. but Perry
shot him in the hand the messenger re-
turning the fire with several shots. Just
as the last shot was fired by Perry the
train pulled into Lyons. He attempted to
escape by driving the fireman and engi-
neer from a locomotive which stood on a
siding, which he boarded. and started "a
escape in ii full speed, but was followed
bv railroad employees in another lOcOmo-
tive. who subsequently overlook him and
after considerable shooting caused his ar
rest.

Exploits of the DaItnos.

The story of the exploits of the famous
Bill Dalton gang was wildly told by Mr..
Pinkerton. Eight members of the gang
were killed while resisting arrest. The
others were captured.

every member was killed.
One of the sensational train rObberies
of more recent date was thus described
