TAFT EXPECTED TO ANNOUNCE HIS
CANDIDACY AT TULSA, OKLAHOMA

washington, May 3.-Secretary Taft,
it is expected. will break his political
silence for the first time since he has
been regarded as q receptive candidate
for the Republican nomination for the
presidency in a speech which he prob
ably will deliver at Tulsa, Okla, on
June 6, on the occasion of the assem-
bling of the first Republican state con-
vention. The secretary has accepted
an invitation TO attend that conven-
ton. 1t is not specifically stated that
he is to make a speech then, but II is
not doubted that he will do so IL re-
quested, nor is it likely that the Repub-
licans Of the new state will fail to ex-
tend the necessary invitation.
In the secretary's opinion the present
campaign in Oklahoma viii be a hot
one and probably viii determine for a
number OF years TO come the political
complexion OF the state. The issues
presented are expected to be national
in character. and it may be possible
that Secretary Taft can find much TO
say TO the people of Oklahoma in con-
vention assembled that will interest

ROOT OR TAFT
IS THE CHOICE
Uncer No Circumstances viii
the Strenuous Roosevelt
Again Be a Candidate.
APPRECIATES RECENT TALK
NOT INCLINED TO RISK FLAT
TENING AT THE POLLS.

Chicago, May s.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington, D. c., says:
President Roosevelt has decided TO
set at rest all talk that he Will be a
candidate for the Republican nominal
ton for the presidency next year. 1t
was learned yesterday upon the high
est authority that at the proper mo-
ment the president will issue state
ment TO the American people announc-
ing that he will not accept renomina-
ton under any conditions, and calling
attention to the declaration he made or
the night he was elected in November,
1904, as follows:
1.-THE wise custom which limits the
president to two terms regards the
substance and not the form. Under no
circumstances will be q candidate for
or accept another nomination"
The ACCESSIBILITY of issuing a state
ment at the present time has been
forced upon the attention of the presi-
dent as the result of earnest represen-
lions made to him by intimate friends,
politicians and people residing in every
section of the country who want him
to run again. The president does not
feel, however, that the time has, come
for him to publish a statement; he does
not believe that politics is an all-ab-
sorbing question with the American
people at this time.
Naturally he feels flattered by ap-
peals made to him TO be once more a
candidate, but he is inclined to attri-
butte these suggestions rather to the
approval of the policies he has initiated
and enforced than to any special desire
to keep him in the White House. If
the Republican party can be induced to
nominate a man like Secretary Root or
Secretary Taft, who peculiarly are
identified with the Roosevelt policies,
the president believes the country viii
be satisfied, for it will be assured that
the progressive program of this admin
istration win not be abandoned.
Later on, If the demand for Presi-
dent RooSevelts nomination should
continue, and should come from a larg-
er section Of the people, he win make a
statement of remuneration in the way
indicated above.

BOSS cox ONCE
AGAIN ON DECK
Great Republican Leader OF
Ohio Announces Program to
Be Followed.

Cincinnati. o., May 3.-National and
municipal politics must not conflict, &C.
cording TO the advice given today by
George 3. Cox. whose pretended retire.
ment as Hamilton county leader was
announced more than a year ago after
several years of successful leadership.
He said today:
'In the coming municipal election the
Taft-Foraker figh. must have no part.
If it does, it might mean the defeat of
the Republican party. Separate the
two issues, settle the ore before taking
up the other"
Mr.. Cox added:
Never before In the history Of this
city has Ohio had two presidential can
didates, and this situation calls for the
splitting OF issues. We have mayor
to elect. My idea Is that we ought tC
get this off our hands before taking ur
The national proposition. Suppose, jusi
for the sake of argument, we unite the
municipal and national issues. Suppose
the Hamilton county organization en-
dorses Taft The probability Is that the
Foraker bunch would bolt and the mu-
nicIpal election might be lost for the
sake of something that can be done as
well by a different method.
''The only way to carry out both sue
cessfully is to get the city election OF
our hands. Then we can take up tbs
other"
AS to a statement credited to hin
while in the east, that the Republican
organization in Hamilton county wa.
against Taft, he said:
II cannot pretend to say whether
Foraker or Taft will get the support
of the organizat iou."

Judge Charles Mccall announced that

HORROR.
BODIES TAKEN FROM RUINS

Hongkong, May S.-very great de-
struction Of life and property was
caused at Canton yesterday evening by
the explosion OF a gunpowder maya
zine. Twenty-one bodies have already
been recovered from the ruins. Hun
dreds of persons were injured.
Fifteen buildings were RACED to the
ground and over 100 were seriously
wrecked. A section zoo feet long from
the massive city hall was thrown down.
The historical nine-story pagoda es-
capped with slight injuries. The officials
and STATS OF the hospitals are doing
their best 20 succor the sufferers.
In the Shamien suburb, where the for
eigners live, g terrific shock was caused
by the explosion, but the residents were
unframed.
The roofs OF houses a mile distant
from the exploded magazine were
blown off.
A number of important Chinese and
foreign mercantile establishments were
completely demolished.
The bodies recovered from the ruins
IN the vicinity of the magazine were
shockingly mutilated. Many corpses of
men and women were without heads.
The officer in charge OF the magazine
Was among those killed, and when his
body was recovered a pipe was found
clutched in his hand, which suggests
the possible cause of the explosion.
The financial losses are enormous.
The. city of Canton is about six miles
. In circumference, and Is enclosed by
walls twenty feet thick and FROM twen-
ty-f1ve to forty feet high. There are
sixteen gates into the city. besides two
water gates. The famous nine-story
pagoda. dating from the beginning of

JURY WILL HAVE
TO KEEP HOUSE
Special Provision Made for the
Men Who viii Try William
Haywood at Boise.
BUILDING HAS BEEN HIRED
FOUR BAILIFFs TO BE CON-
sTANTLY ON HAND.

Boise, Ida. May s-The jury which
will try william Haywood, first Of the
accused In the Steunenburg case, viii
keep house during the trial The law
of Idaho provides that such juries shall
be kept together and in seciusion from
public contact, and the higher courts
have always insisted on strict COM
pliance with the provision. Therefore.
rather than take any chances with the
publicity of hotel In this case, Sheriff
Shad Hodgin, responsible for the Gus
tody of the jurors, has hired house for
them. The house, an attractive, WELL
built structure, standing on neat lawn
and garden, is just across the street
that TANKS the rear Of Ada county
court house, and within about 300 feet
Of the court room.
Four BaiIiffs on Guard.
To make the daily journeys Of the
jury as direct as possible, the sheriff
has constructed a temporary stairway
from the rear of the second story of the
court house. Its upper landing is the
platform of a fire escape, and it is
reached through the ante-rOom of
Judge Woods chamber. The jury can,
therefore, be taken directly to the stair
way without leaving the rallied enclo-
sure of the court room. An official
covk has been retained. and arrange
ments have been made with local stores
for a good and varied supply Of food.
Four balliffs-two for day duty and two
for night service-will guard the jury.
The house will be carefully and con-
stantly watched. Entry TO the open
lawn will be prohibited, one of the day
bailiffs will remain at home while the
jury is in court, and the night bailiffs
win do no sleeping during their watch.
Jury Chairs on swiVeIs.
The court room is being partly recon-
structed in order TO increase the seat
ing capacity, both in and outside the
rail Two unusual features of the court
room are that the jury box occupies the
space directly in front of the bench
that is generally filled by the clerk and
his imposing desk, and the witness
chair is in the middle Of the chamber
between the ends OF counsel tables and
directly in front of the middle gate of
the rail. The jury faces the room, but
It's chairs are on swivels that may be
swung around to face the judge. The
witness chair is on a platform and is
visible from all points in the room.
Tables for the Press.
Many extra chairs and tables are be-
ing placed on either side of the room
within the enclosure for the use of the
daily press representatives and long
desk has been built along the outer side
of the rail for the special writer's and
artists. Special seats are being placed
for members of the Boise bar and the
seating capacity OF the public part Of
the room increased TO about 800.
| Judge Wood and Sheriff Hodgin are
cooperating in plans calculated to ex-
pedite the work and comfort OF all en-
gagged in and on the trial under cOndi-
tons are reasonable as circumstances
and necessity will permit.
