ously ill with diabetes at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Wayland Trask, 1929

By Associated Press.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 25.-The
Social Revolutlonist and Group of Toll
members of the late parliament, num-
bering 139 deputies, yesterday issued
manifestos summoning the people to
continue by force the struggle for the
land, liberty and popular representa-
ton. The documents, which proclaim
that parliament perished for defending
the peoples rights, are remarkable for
the fact that the emperor for the first
time is attacked by name for breach
of faith, the revolutionary proclama-
tions having hitherto attributed all sins
to the government on account of the
lingering sentiment of loyalty to the
emperor among the peasant masses.

A POLICY AT STAKE.
THIRD TERM IDEA NAY Be AL
LOWED FULL PLAY.
Washington Dispatches Say It Is
to Be Used to Kill Off Booms
of Observation-Disclosures
Might T akeNomination Rather
Than See Policy Fail.

Washington, March 11.-Politicians
in Washington are trying to figure out
the meaning of the sudden outburst
of the Roosevelt third term boom here.
They regard as especially significant
the typewritten memorandum given
out Saturday by Representative Mar
tin, of South Dakota, after confer
ence with the president, vigorously
defending the third term idea.
They have reached the conclusion
that the president realizes that the
third term movement must be allowed
to run right on in order to head off
the progress of the booms of reaction
airy candidates. The prevailing opin-
ion here remains that President Roos-
evelt personally will go as far as he
can to prevent his own denomination,
but will stop at nothing to assure the
nomination of a successor in accord
with his policies.
Rather than see them succumb,
many believe that the president him
self, if properly approached, would
take a denomination, providing no
other candidate satisfactory to himself
and friends is strong enough to unite
the next Republican national conven-
tion.
There are indications that, under
cover of the third term boom, the
friends Of the president are working
to get Roosevelt delegates, who may be
used as the president and his seconds
COO A. Tho foof %hot Coorokorv Taft
and other loyal Roosevelt adherents
are not stopping in their efforts to
make convention votes Is taken as
proof positive that such movement
is on foot.

Of withdrawal aggregating "a, OOO,.
600 acres. Since the withdrawal ex-
perts of the geological survey have
been engaged in ascertaining the coal
bearing value of the withdrawn lands,
and while lands to be restored to entry
are still classified as coal lands it is
understood their value as such does
not warrant their exclusion from
public entry. The location of the
lands and the details of the order are
withheld until the presidents ap-
prevail is given.

Secretary Oliver has notified the gov

itia force that it has been found nee
essary to omit for this year the con-
templated annual brigade and divis-

absence of about 5000 troops in Cuba,

In lieu thereof camps of instruction

be invited to take part in the devel-
opments of the sea coast. Invitations

LANE SUGGESTS RELIEF
Lumbermen May Ask for Joint Rate BY
Way of Portland.

Way of Portland.
Washington, March 9.-Lumb ermen
in the Puget Sound region have COM
planned to the interstate commerce
commission that they have been un-
able sincee January to obtain trans
portation of their products to Eastern
points because of the inability of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads to handle the traffic. Com
missioner Lane, of the interstate COM
MERGE commission, has received letters
from lumbermen west Of the Cascade
mountains saying it is impossible for
them to get their products to Missouri
river points and asking whether the
commission cannot afford them some
relief.
Commissioner Lane has suggested
that they can make formal complaint
to the commission requesting it to
grant them through joint rate from
the Puget sound region via Portland,
Or, over the Northern Pacific, and
thence via the Oregon Short Line aud
Union Pacific to Missouri river points
The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific admit that they cannot carry
more than fourth of the lumber that
is offered, but heretofore they have
refused to permit the Oregon Short
Line or the Union Pacific to make q
through route or joint rate with
them.
It is expected that the lumermen
will act upon the suggestion of Com
missioner Lane. .
