Will Speak Many Times.
IN DENIAL,
CONGRESSMAN Declares He Never Sug-
gested Roosevelt for President After
Taft's Term Expires.

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 5.-Congress-
man Nicholas Longworth who was IN
Cincinnati, denounced as campaign lie
the widely printed story that in speech
at Rock Island, ILL.,, he proposed that
after Judge Taft had served two terms
as President. that President Roosevelt
would again be a candidate for the presl-
dency.
Congressman Longworth's statement in
full follows:
The facts Of the case are: At meeting
at Rock Island, ILL.,, was introduced oy
the chairman as a son Of Ohio, and since
Ohio seemed to be determined to break
the record as a mother of presidents ne
said in a jocular vein that l probably
Replying in similar vein, 1 said that I
was not there as O candidate for any Of
Zee 1 was there to speak of the present
and to the eecf tho 6f
now. / said that l believed confidently
that Judge Taft would be elected Presi-
dent and that his administration would be
so wise and beneficial to the people that
them another term. AFTER that 1 said,
"Ohio would not be selfish and would yield
to som 9h the 1e1 New
I had no particular candidate in mind.
New York coming first into my mind be-
cause Of the presence of Mr.. Sherman ON
the PLATFORM.
At that point many people shouted
Roosevelt" and the audience cheered his
name loudly
am not surprised that some Democratic
newspapers should have taken this up, be-
cause the Democratic party is most anx-
ious to distract the peoples attention from
the issues of today and talk about either
the remote future or the past
The story that I commented upon my al
legged prediction and said it would be ap-
proved by the President is absolutely false.
I have never even thought Of, much less
mentioned the incident until now.
CONGRESSMAN Longworth is en- route to
the east where he will continue his
speaking tour.

Gould, and when she sees me l know
she'll fall in love with me at once"

TAKE TIMBER CENSUS
Supply in United States Will Last About
Twenty-three Years if Estimates
Are Near Correct

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 6.-Te
national conservation commission has
caused the first comprehensive attempt
at a census of the standing timber IN
the United States ever undertaken.
Estimates as to the amount of stand.
ing timber in the United States
range all the way from S22 $4,000,
600 to 2,O0O,OOO,OOO,0OO board feet, a
difference Of more than 100000 100000
feet in the views of the best qualified au
thorities in the country.
The census is expected to give an aC
curate basis for computing how long our
timber supplies will last The concenSS
Of opinion is that the present annual con-
sumption of wood is about 1GOOO00OO,
600 board feet or something more than
that. A leading authority has placed it
as high as 15O,OOO,OOO0 board feet
Assuming a stumpage of 1,4O00OO0OO-
600 board feet an annual use Of 100000.
100000 board feet and neglecting growth
in the calculation, the exhaustion of our
timber supply is Indicated in fourteen
years, and assuming the same use and
stand, with an annual growth Of 4O,OW'-
100000 feet, a supply for Twenty-Five
wears is Indicated

SEES THE PRESIDENT.
TREASURER SHELDON IS A CALLER
AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Object of Visit Is to Discuss General Po-
Htical Situation and Formulate
Campaign Plans.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. g.
George r. Sheldon, treasurer of the Re
publican national committee, was an
early caller at the white house today.
He spent half an hour with Secretary
Loeb, who afterward stated that Mi.
Sheldon had come over from New York
at the invitation of the President.
Upon leaving the white house, Mr..
Sheldon called upon Secretary OF State
Root and Assistant Secretary Bacon.
Mr.. Loeb was asked whether Treasurer
Sheldon had been summoned to Wash-
ington because the President, as has
been reported, was dissatisfied with the
work of collecting funds for the cam
paign Mr. Loeb replied that the Pres
ident was entirely satisfied with the
work Mr. Sheldon has been doing. lie
announced that the purpose of Mr.. Shell
don's visit was to talk over with the
President the general political situation
paign.
Mr.. Loeb said that a statement would
be issued after Mr.. Sheldons conference
with the President. He declined to in
innate what the subject of the statement
would be. Regarding the report that
Mr.. Sheldon might resign as treasurer OF
the national committee, Mr.. Loeb sald
there was no truth in the rumOr
Mr.. Sheldon stated that campaign con
tributions had not been as liberal as i'll
previous campaigns but this he at
tributed to various state laws of the sub
ject The Republicans, however, he said,
would have money enough to carry them
through the campaign.
Treasurer Sheldon of the Republican
national committee, after his luncheon
with the President, gave out the follow
ing statement: THE President asked
me to come over and lunch or dine with
him two or three weeks ago, but the du-
ties of my position have made it impos-
sible for me to come until now. We went
completely over the general situation.
Con his authority as we'll as from my
own knowledge, l can say most positive
ly, that the relations between him and
Mr.. Hitchcock are of the closest and
most friendly character, that Mr.. Hitch
cock has his entire confidence and that
the President heartily approves of the
manner in which Mr.. Hitchcock is man
aging the campaign and | may add, the
President is entirely confident of the re-
suit

feel that no gathering could take place
fraught with greater hope for the well
fare of the people at large than this as
semblage."
This was President Roosevelt's parting
greeting to the delegates to the Sixth Tri-
ennial International Congress on Tuber-
culosis which finally adjourned today to
meet in Rome, tally, in 1911. The Presi-
dent had not been expected to attend the
congress and his appearance was greet
ed with tremendous applause. The
President thanked the delegates on be-
half of the nation for what they had
done and were doing to stamp out the
great white plague.
''you have come here" said the Presi-
dent, Ito combat what on the whole is
the most terrible scourge of all through
out the world. The chance to control
that disease lies in the work of just such
men as those who are assembled here. y
AS Heroic as Soldiers.
The President declared that medical
scientists have shown just as much hero
ism in the fight against tuberculosis as
ever was shown by soldier on the field
of battle. He declared that in no other
manifestation of human activity have
the results been quite so far reaching as
in the ability to grapple with disease.
Just before the congress was brought
to a close. q number of important resolu-
tons were adopted, the most notable
of which places the congress on record
in favor of recognizing the possibility
Of infection of human beings by bovine
tuberculosis. The resolution declares
that preventive measures should be con-
tinued against bovine tuberculosis.
To Prevent Conveyance.
'"The utmost efforts should be contin-
ued," says the resolution" in the strug-
gle against tuberculosis to prevent the
conveyance from man to man of tuber-
culosis infection as the most important
source of the disease"
Another important resolution calls the
attention of state and central govern
ments to the Importance of proper laws
for the obligatory notification to the pub
lie health authorities and registration OF
all cases Of tuberculosis.
To Regulate Factories.
The congress also Endorsed legislation
for the regulation Of factories and work
shops. the abolition of premature and in
furious labor of women and children.
and the securing of sanitary dwellings
to increase the resisting power of COM
munity to tuberculosis and other dis
eases; the establishment Of Fairgrounds
as factor in the prevention of tuber-
culosis and instruction in personal and
school hygiene in schools for the pro-
fessional training of teachers.
