NO NECESSITY FOR 1T.
Roosevelt Declines to Make Politca
Speech at Pittsburg.

Washington, Oct. president
Roosevelt told Congressman Barch-
field of Pittsburg that for him to go
on the stump and make a speech in
Pittsburg, as Republicans there desire
him to do, would be the same as carry
ing Goals to Newcastle. There was
absolutely no necessity for him to
speak in Pittsburg, he said, because
that district, in his opinion, was en-
tirely safe for Mr.. Taft. Mr. Barch-
field showed the president a telegram
he had received from the Republican
committee of Allegheny county re-
questing him to join with the commit
tee and the other congressman from
that district in an appeal to National
Chairman Hitchcock to have the pres
ident make his first speech in Pitts
burg in case he decided to go on the
stump.
Congressman Barchfield said he
agreed with the president that his
presence in Pittsburg to speak was
lot necessary.

that capacity when such government

MASCOT IN SMOOTH
! RUNNING ORDER

NWhen the curtain rises at the Opera
House on the evening of the 23rd there
will be a scene of startling brilliancy
disclosed. Lassies and lads celebrat-
ing the vintage feast will be effective
ly grouped in surroundings seldom
surpassed in stageland. Too much can
not be said of the chorus of The Mas
cot" All work well together and
know exactly what to do and when to
do it. There will be none of that stiff
ness so often noticed in amateur per-
formances, and the general action is
carried throughout with a vim and ex-
cellence not to be surpassed by pro-
fessionals- In The Mascot" there are
several opportunities for good chorus
work which require both good voices
and good action and which are all done
full justice to. In this respect the
management has shown excellent judg-
ment in the selection of the chorus.
There is an excellent spirit being
shown throughout the entire cast. both
principals and chorus being determin-
ed to make The Mascot" a complete
success, and every individual member
realizes how much just one person can
do towards making the whole COM
bination run smoothly and complete
At present THE Mascot" is running
like beautiful piece of machinery, not
discordant note anywhere, but with
that humming steady rhythm which all
engineers love to hear and when de-
notes good engineering and perfect ad-
justment.
The rehearsal held at the Opera
House last night only goes to prove
what has hitherto been said and it
was most satisfactory from every point
of view. From now on the orchestra
under the direction of Capt. Berger
will attend all rehearsals. The pres
ence of the orchestra will help to ac-
centuate the particularly fine work OF
the chorus which is already so notice
able with a piano accompaniment only.
Tomorrow night there will be an
other full rehearsal and nearly every
evening next week will see the Mas
coters hard at it. With such careful
and steady application on the part OF
both principals and chorus the result
is bound to be crowned with a great
success.
The box office and plans will open
on Monday next at Wall, Nichols Co.,
and all are advised to make early book
ings, as there promises to be a great
rush for seats.

SHIPS HARD LUCK.

ASTORIA, (Or), April 6.-The Ger
man ship Alsterkamp, in ballast from
Caleta Colosa, Chile, arrived in port
on Sunday, after an uneventful pas
sage. She lost her charter to load
grain for Europe at 80 shillings by not
arriving here by February 18th, and
now the best obtainable rates are not
better than 25 shillings. She will go
to an anchorage with the disengaged
feet at Tongue Point. The captain says
that the Chilean port is a most aggra-
waiting one, as it took two months to
discharge the vessel and three more to
secure a ballast.
She failed to bring Consular bills OF
health, as is required by law, and this
afternoon she was fined $4,000 by Act
ing Collector of Customs Parker. Cap
tain Schnmach secured Chilean health
bills. but none from the American
Consul. 1t is supposed the captain will
file protest against the fine and the
entire matter will be submitted to the
department in Washington to be pass
ed upon.

PAPER
IS INCORPORATED

s. Sheba, the local Japanese news
paper magnate, has taken up the idea
of high finance, from the appearance
of articles of incorporation when
were filed with Treasurer Campbell
yesterday. The articles are in the name
of the Hawaii Shinpo Sha, Ltd, and
Sheba holds 494 out of 500 shares OF
stock. The others are distributed as
follows: K Haga, 2; r. Murakami, 2;
y. Mikami, l. H. Sakai, J.
Sheba's high finance, or at least the
appearance of it, comes through other
papers which are filed with the arti-
Giles and which show that the Shinpo
Sha is being incorporated for the sum
of $4,000, or exactly twice the amount
for which he sells the printing plant,
which is tie only asset mentioned as
belonging to the corporation. 1t is I'M
derstood that part of the stock will
soon be placed on the market for pur-
chase by local Japanese, though Sheba
will retain the control.

SECRETS OF
THE NAVAL SERVICE
DEPARTMENT UNDER INVESTIGATION BEFORE
MITTEB-w1TNEss IN SUBMARINE HEARING GOT CON-
FIDENTIAL MISREPRESENTATION INQUIRY THAT
FOREIGN NATIONS HAVE PRIVATE MEANS INFORMATION.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Navy
Department, and not the Electric Boat
Company, was virtually under investi-
cation today by the special House COM
mittee inquiring into charges prefer
red against that company by Repre-
sentative Lilley. The question as to
whether the company had authorized
illegitimate means to promote legisla-
ton in it's favor was forgotten in the
admissions made by a witness to the
effect that he had secured extracts OF
reports made to the Navy Department
supposed to be confidential.
The witness was Robert G. Skerrett
of New York, formerly employed in
the Navy Department and at one time
the European representative of the
Lake Torpedo Boat Company. He stat
ed frankly that while in the employ OF
the Lake Company he received anony-
nous extracts from reports made to
the Navy Department, and that he
used these extracts in technical arti-
cles prepared for publications in mag
azines. Questioned as to their source,
he replied that he did not know from
whom they came and that he had ac-
cepted them as correct and used them
in his articles.
The climax of Mr.. Skerrett's testi-
mony came when he was asked by
Chairman Boutell if he did not con-
slider that his action in publishing in
formation which the United States
Government regarded as secret was
highly dishonorable." His reply was:
mo, think it indiscreet."
1t is the evident intention OF the
committee to follow up this new line
of evidence and if possible, discover
the leak in the Navy Department.
The first report to which reference
was made was one prepared by Lieu
tenant Nelson, U. S. NJ, who conduct

TREATY DEADLOCK

LONDON, April 1.-THE Foreign Of
fee recently received drafts of treaties
having as their object the settlement
of questions pending between the
United States and Canada. These
treaties were considered satisfactory
except as to a few minor points which
referred back to Ottawa and it was
fully expected that a complete agree
ment was about to be reached. But
the news cabled from the United States
of which the Foreign Office has unof-
fetal advices that a deadlock exists
over the disposition of power from Nj
agara Falls, came as a surprise to the
officials.
Negotiations for the submission OF
the Atlantic fisheries dispute to arbi-
tration have not advanced to any great
extent. Newfoundland has been SLOW
in>replying to the points which have
been referred to that Government and
in addition Great Britain does not find
it easy to reconcile the views of New
foundland and the Dominion of Canada
in preparing the case. Already there
is talk of the necessity of renewing the
modus vivendi.

COLLEGE SONGS BANNED.

URBAN, Qll), April 5.-Temper-
ance agitation in Champaign, Urbana
and the University of Illinois, at white
heat over the local option election
Tuesday, has compelled the college glee
club to revise it's repertoire or songs.
Until the war against booze" attained
such proportions, the Illinois Club. like
all other organizations of colegians,
contained a large assortment of good
fellowship" songs, in which wine" and
stein" and fine were rhymed. in acr
coTdance with all traditions of the
campus. Even if most of the singers
were prominent members of the Young
Mems Christian Association, with rec
ords in the total abstinence line, they
took it as a matter of course.
Until the present agitation no one
had objected to the songs, but now all
is changed. The managers of the Or
ganization carefully went over the list
of songs and found to their horror that
there were innumerable ditties which
came under the ban.
