Hon. W. B. Sheppard, at present
district attorney for the Northern
District of Florida, has gone to Wash

President Roosevelt and the powers
at the national capitol regarding I'LL.
Ing the vacancy On the Federal bench
caused by the death Of Judge Chas.
SWayne. Mr.. Sheppard left here
Wednesday night, and reaches Wash
ington this morning.
The district attorney is now the
only Republican candidate for the va
cant position, as NJ. B. McFarlane, of
Tampa, has withdrawn and has sent
a strong endorsement to the Presi-
dent for Mr.. Sheppard. When the
latter left Pensacola, he carried one
OF the strongest endorsements to be
AIKEN from this city. Letters directed
to the President from State officials.
attorneys in all sections Of the dis
trict, bankers and business men and
the Republican State machine, strong
ly endorse him, and his friends be-
lleVe that, with his popularity with
the department of justice, the Presi-
dent will name him.
With the exception Of the depar-
ture Of Mr.. Sheppard for Washing.
ton and the withdrawal of Mr.. Nc.
Farlane from the race, there have
been no developments within the past
few days in regard to the vacant
]udgeship. 1t is believed here that
within a week or ten days that the
President will announce bis decision.
Should the President name Mr..
Sheppard, it will leave a vacancy in
the Office Of district attorney, the
filing of which will cause almost a.
much interest as the filing Of the
judicial vacancy.

while the executive committee OF the

approve the demands to be made by the

arrived from the east and took uD their
quarters at the haywood lodging house
at 131 Fell street. II was the advance
guard of CaIhOun's army of strike
breakers.
The terms to be submitted to the
company which were decided upon by
the meeting OF the carmen's union last
Tuesday evening came before the exc
cutive committee OF the labor council
last night and were approved. The
terms will now be submitted together
with the appreciation Of the committee
to the full meeting oEkhe council which
takes place on Friday evening. Then
they go back to the meeting of the

will be held tonight a vote will be
taken to refuse to break in any more

demands.

VISITS NATIONS CHIEF
Talks Third Term to Him
and Is Not Given a
Rebuke
By Ira E. Bennett

WASHINGTON, April 22.-SenatOr
Jonathan Bourne of Oregon gave ont
stirring Interview tonight in which
he advocated the denomination of Pres
fdent Roosevelt, whether Roosevelt
wanted nomination or not. 1t will be
remembered that IL was at Senator
BOurne's dinner that Senator PenrOse
of Pennsylvania is alleged TO have
dfvuIEed the details of the rich mems
S5,oOO,OOO conspiracy against the pres
fdent.
Bourne told friend the other day
that when he arrived in Washington,
he heard that Roosevelt had told his
friends that If they wanted to DO him
q good turn they would not discuss the
third term or agitate it. and that he
would not listen to any talk on the
subject Nevertheless Bourne went TO
the EFhite House and talked third term
straight from the shoulder He said
Roosevelt listened intentiy without
saying a word. and did not reprove him
when he had finished
Bourne says in his interview that
when he ran for senator in the pri-
mary campaign Is months ago, he de-
cIared for Roosevelt for a second cleo
tion term, and that it was approved
by the people. He says he feels sure
that the Pacific coast will demand
Roosevelt again. He declares that the
president is only the servant of the
people and that if they command him
to serve again he cannot refuse. He
adds:
The mission providence put into his
hands and the unfinished business that
he has inaugurated can be better ad-
vanced and its fruits made more GER
tain only by continuing him IN the office
OF chief magistrate until 1912. and DO
and shall favor such capitalization of
public opinion as shall force him to
waive his personal preference and yield
TO the public demand that he become
candidate for second elective term"
It IS a significant fact that Senator
Bourne has become a very close friend
Of the president during the last few
months. He accompanies the president
on long walks and is consulted on
many important subjects.
Bourne winds up his interview by
saying that he gives it without the
knowledge Of any person.
