PRESIDENT GAGS
THIRD TERN SHOUTS
Warns Federal Officehold-
ers Not to Work for
Nomination.
Started Great Commotion.
Opposition Sees
Dark Plot.

The remarkable uncertainty which
has existed concerning the conflicting
reports about President Roosevelt's
order that Federal OfhcehOldeTs must
not unduly involve themselves in third
term politics. was ended yesterday by
authoritative statements.
The facts, now positively established,
are that the President sent to the Secre-
taries Of the Treasury, the Interior, and
the POstma ster General "a letter on the
subject The letters were to AL three
Identical. They said substantially that
it had come to the attention OF the
President that Federal ofhceholders
were taking part in politics to promote
the movement for q third-term nOInlna-
ton OF the President: that the PTesi-
den. disapproyed of these activities, and
desired that Federal officials should be
informed that he would not permit them
10 take EaTt in conventions as third
term delegates, or in insTucting other
people to act as third-term delegates.
This letter stirred up a huge COmmO-
ton because of conflicting statements as
10 whether 1t had really been issued.
There were charges and counter
charges Anti-AdministTatiOn neWspa-
pers charged that no such letter had
been issued, that it was all part OF
The game Of Presidential hide-and-seeE
so feelingIy described by Mr. Justice
Brewer,
What everybody wants to know now
is. whether this letter is to be taken as
equivalent 10 a nnaI reiteration by the
President of his statement that he will
not run again. All kinds of views are
taken of it, The President does not
undertake 10 forbid Federal oniCehOld-
er5 to take any part IN politics. He does
not forbid them being delegates to con-
ventions He doesn't think it necessary
TO go so far; but he does make plain
that he doesn't want them busying
themselves with any third-term move
Yrent for himself.

DEATH PENALTY WANTED
BY JURIES IN FRANCE

PERIS. Nov. 23.-The French minister
OF justice has become irritated at the
number OF petitions that have been
reaching him for months from the Juries
Of France praying for the retention Of
the death penalty on the statute book
OF the country.
He has just addressed a letter to the
first president OF the Paris court of APP
peals asking that magistrate to Teassure
the jurtes that their fear Of any re-
crudescence of crime arising from thc
non-carrylng out OF the death pennlty
is unwarranted and deprecaling the
sending OF petitions.
The minister adds: "Juries should
also remember that while they are en-
gagged on the business Of the sessions
they are ipso facto magistrates, and
are forbidden from criticising the Nun
ner Of carrying out the sentences ne
cessitated by their veTdicts."

dangers urkcd in wait for me? How long
could reasonably expect my poor old feed,
box to bear up in its unaccustomed element
Already it was; sinking down frlghtiully AZ
myself slowly and carefully little farther
toward Holly, who sat uneasiy upright oppo'
site me- giving vent to his apprehenslons IN
low, continuous whines.
Presently l deserted dark object floating
in our wake and as it came near, and /
recognized big cedar pail that always hung
under our wagon, ! reached out with eager
hands and drew it close, as | might have well
coined a farewell message from my loved ones
Soon | perceived that by holding it tightly
against the side of the feed-box i could to
some extent steady the erratic movements OF
the latter, and ! made the most Of the dis
covery; for as l gazed into the dark, swift
water, knowing / could not swim, i realized
that my one chance lay in keeping afioat until
my friends should miss and find some
means of following and rescuing me.
Surely, | thought, father must soon lis
cover the loss of the feed-box with its living
freight. Then followed mental picture of
father fright and anxiety, and in imagination
| could see him running wildly along the
river banks, looking for some trace of me.
l tried to calculate how long it would take
them to get ready to come to my rescue, and
wondered whether they would wait to build
a raft or take horses and follow on terra
hrma.
That thought turned my attention to the
river banks, and, to my CONSERVATION, / per
ceived that they were becoming each moment
higher and more rugged They now reared,
like black walls, on either side and seemed
trying to close in upon me, as the stream
narrowed and deepened; while the scrub
growth of trees and bushes that capped their
SUBMITS shot past like the gaunt forms of
running savages outlined against the moonlit
| sky.
Innumerable terrors worked on my excited
fancy. Thoughts of Indians, panthers, bears
and crocodiles rushed in quick succession
through my brain, and last, but not least,
there was the ever-present prospect of a
watery grave.
| ! cannot tell just how long I had been
adrift, but probably not more than ten min
utes, when / became conscious of continuous
roaring sound-dull with distance at first, but
growing each instant palmer and nearer,
| 1t puzzled me. / could think of nothing it
resembled but the soughing of the wind on a
stormy day, among the treetops of the, old
woods pasture, back in my native Hoosier
State; and for little while / tried to think
| it was the western winds at play with the
meagre woody growth above and about me.
| Meantime, on and on the current bore me,
never for an instant letting go its clutch,
though often turning and twisting my frail
bark until capsize seemed imminent.
