PROHIBITION CHIEF TOPIC
AT BREWERS CONVENTION

Chicago, Jan. ga billion dollars of
beer brewing capital will be represent
ed at the annual convention of the
United States Brewers Association,
which began in Milwaukee today.
From every state in the Union influ-
entail representatives of the brewing
industry are gathered. The 600 dele
gates are accredited from firms or cor
porations, SO that the convention will
have much more than an individual
or a locality representation.
Prohibition will be the prominent
topic Of the three-day session. Exact
ly what the brewers will decide to do
is unknown, but that action will be
recommended tending more sharply to
define the attitude of the beer men
in the "wet" and dry dispute is gen.
orally conceded. 1t is likely that a
whole day will be given over to a
minute discussion of the conditions
confronting the beer men in the fight
now being waged so fiercely against
them by the prohibition advocates.
There will be political and sumptu-
airy economists and experts with facts
and figures in battle array to prove
that beer, if not the very nectar of
the gods, is at least next door to an
absolute necessity.

GoMPERs OPPOSES
NEWSPAPER BOYCOTT

Washington, D. c., June 6.-Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor has come out
squarely against the boycott of news
paper because of it's utterances adj
verse to labor's cause or it's patronage
by non-union advertisers. In letter
to the Union County Trades Council
Of Elizabeth, N. j., which has attempt
ed to boycott an Elizabeth paper, Mr..
Gompers says:
Whether a newspaper publishes an
article, piece of news, an advertise
ment or an editorial bitterly antagonis-
tic to organized labor, organized labor
cannot afford to place a boycott upon
that publication. We demand free
speech and free press for ourselves
and we resent any invasion of that
right, no matter by whom proposed,
and what we ask for ourselves in the
form Of free speech and a free press
must be accorded to everyone, no mat
ter how hostile he may be to our great
movement"

BOTTOM FALLS OUT OF
GRAYS HARBOR LOG MARKET

Hoquiam, June 6.-The bottom has
fallen out of the log market on Grays
Earbor and unless the price goes high
er there is possibility of a general
shutdown of all the logging camps in
this vicinity. Never before in many
years has the price of logs dropped SO
low, and taking into consideration the
price of stumpage, there is some log.
ging being done at loss. Nos. 1 and
2 fir have dropped to So and $5.25 per
thousand. There is no demand for
spruce, but the prevailing price is 50
for No. and S. for No. 2. The log
gers have taken the cedar from the
market and when it was withdrawn
the quoted price was $11. The mar
ket has been gradually falling, but no
one anticipated such reduction. One
remarkable thing is that stumpage has
been sold in this vicinity for as high as
SIS and S. per thousand.

sioner w. L. King, who was
sent here by the dominion government
to inquire into the anti Oriental riot

investigations have been held. Eight
thousand dollars was paid to the Jap

PRESIDENT PLANS TO

Washington, D. c., June 6.-Imnort

President Roosevelt's determination
against third term is contained IN
the admission, made yesterday for tbo

plans to leave the United States in

Will spend a year hunting big game
Rumors that Mr.. Roosevelt was to
leave the country at the conclusion ~
his term of office have been printed
heretofore. When information has
been sought at the White House the
answer has been that no definite con-.
clusion had been reached as to the
presidents plans. But yesterday il
was stated that President Roosevelt
with his son Kermit, would sail for
Cairo in April, 1909, just as soon as
the necessary arrangements for the de-
parture could be made after the fourth
of March.
1t is the desire of the president to
OAAA3 O1Nh CSI CAC Ouu Iu0 year from
the wilds of Africa specimens of every
species of game to be had on the dark
continent. He will visit no other coun.
try, it is stated.
The outfit for the expedition will be
obtained on reaching Africa, but an &C.
tive correspondence in this city al
ready is under way. The exact size of
the hunting party, the number Of
guides and retainers, animals, etc., has
not been determined on.
The president will take with him an
assortment of arms which he will re-
quire in the variety of hunting con-
templated. This outfit includes, of
course, guns of the highest power. Dur
ing the absence of Mr. Roosevelt in
Africa, Mrs. Roosevelt and other men,
bers of the family will remain at the
family home at Sycamore Hill, Oyster
Bay.

TURBINE STEAMERS EARN
$780, 1000 ANNUAL SUBSIDY

New York, June 8.-The gigantic
turbine steamers Lusitania and Maure.
tania have earned for the Cunard
Steamship Company an annual sub
sidy of $750,O0O, according to a cable
from Liverpool received by the New
York representatives of the line. The
message, stated that the British gov
erpment announced in parliament that
the two great steamers have fulfilled
all conditions Of the subsidy agree
ment. The conditions were that the
ships should make 241z knots an hour
for a transatlantic trip.
The Mauretania has averaged 24.86
knots an hour westbound and 24.42
eastbound. The Lusitania has aver
aged 24.S3 westbound and 1882 east

organizations is probable.
Trust Resolution.


There will be trust resolution
along the lines of that embodied in the
platform of 1900 when the necessity
and propriety of honest cooperation
and combination was realized to meet
new conditions and extend American
trade to foreign countries, but when
conspiracies which create monopolies,
limit production and control prices
we're pointedly condemned.
Much care will be given to the plank
dealing with the Philippine islands and
Cuba. The pacific attitude of this
country toward Cuba will be held to
have been demonstrated by the pres
ent relationship of the two countries
and by the generally known fact that,
having restored peace and order to
that island, the United States Is now
preparing to bring its protectorate to
an end and remove the evidences of
it's control. Our management of at
fairs in the Philippines will be ex-
tolled; it will be agreed that the Phil.
ippines are prospecting and improving
under the present administration Of
affairs, and it will probably be set
forth that to abandon those islands
before our work there is finished and
the Filipino people, made ready for
self-government would be inhuman, I'M
wise and in every way unjustifiable.
AS usual, the platform will declare
for protection of the civil liberties Of
the negro race. There will be strong
declaration in favor of continued i'm
provement of the navy, including con-
slant increases of our battleships, with
the end in view of protecting our In
terests abroad, maintaining our stand
ing among the nations and supporting
the Monroe doctrine, which doctrine
will again receive unqualified indorse-
ment. There will be word in favor
of the maintenance of the army on it's
present basis, but no recommendation
for it's enlargement.
Among other recommendations that
will be made will be the following:
For fostering our commerce in the
Orient; for the open door in China;
for exclusion of coolie labor, whether
Chinese or Japanese; strong COM
mendation of the present civil service
policy; Endorsement of the plan to
grant subsidy in the interest of the
ocean mails to South America and
Australia and for the encouragement
of American shipping generally.
