24-Col. Theodore Roosevelt will not
be a factor in the coming mayoralty
election In New York. He has elimin-
ated himself absolutely from the con-
test and your correspondent Is III a
position to state unQualifiedly and abb
solutely that there Is no ground for
the hopes raised yesterday by the Par

saying that Mr.. Roosevelt could return
In time for the campaign.
When shown Wise's statement by
the correspondent of the United Press.
Mr.. Roosevelt declined absolutely to
make any statement except to request
the United Press to deny categorical
ly all such reports, and to repeat that
every day of his time between this and
next March, when he will come out
OF the jungle into the upper Nile coun

s1.25 DUTY TO Be
PUT ON LUMBER
Hides Will Be Taxed 10 Per Cent,
and Boots and Shoes 10 Per Cent,
According to Reliable Information.

WASHINGTON. July 24.-Passage
OF tariff bill satisfactory In the main
to the president, the house and the
senate, and adjournment Of congress
within ten days. is now believed to
be within sight. August Is named as
the probable date when the special
session will come to an end. Senator
Aldrich who found IL impossible to
bring the work OF the conferees to a
conclusion last night. as he had hoped,
is confident that they will finish today.
The bill will be printed with all OF
the changes that have been made by
the conference committee. and tomor-
row and Monday, the Democratic mem
bers who have been excluded from the
meetings up to the present time. will
be invited to join In their Republican
colleagues, and look over the COM
pleted bill. 1t will not make q great
deal OF difference what they may hap
pen to think Of It.
Reports as to what action OF the
conference committee will be on the
FIVE presidential issues" continue con.
fiioting. Both the free raw material
men, and the ants are claiming vic
that the result will be a compromise,
and the best information available Is
that hides will be taxed ten per cent
with leather ten per cent. instead OF
70 per cent as In the present law, and
boots and shoes 10 per cent instead OF
the existing rate Of 25 per cent.
Coal Is said to have been fixed at
46 cents, instead Of 81 cents, the pres
ent rate, and there will be no reci-
procity with Canada, whereby 1t might
come In free. The countervailing duty
on oil will be taken of. Lumber will
be made $l.25. which Is a split be-
tween the 81 rate proposed by the
house and $3.50 as suggested by the
senate, and reduction OF Is cents per
1000 feet from existing law. Also the
reduced rates OF the senate bill on
dressed lumber will be retained. On
iron ore, an agreement has been prac-
tically reached to reduce the rate o.
duty from 26 cents TO 10 cents per
ton. to cover the difference in cost
between landing Cuban ores on the
Atlantic coast and the transportation
OF western ores TO the Pittsburg mar
kets.
On cotton goods, the house conferees
have succeeded In securing some re.
auctions from the senate rates on the
cheaper grades. Gloves and hosiery
are still In dispute. but 1t Is predict.
ed the high house rates on these ar.
ticles will be cut down somewhat. The
internal revenue tax on snuff and TO-
baoco has been increased from six 10
eight cents per pound In accordance
with the amendment adopted by the
senate at the instance of Senator Bev
eridge.
The drawback provisions have moi
been finally decided on. but there Is
not q great difference on this subject
Foreign yachts are to be taxed 81 pei
ton instead OF 35 per cent ad valorcm
as proposed by the senate.

He's For Plan If People Want It, But
Declines To Give His Per-
sonal Views.

In response TO a letter from the De-
troit Federation OF Labor. ASKING him
whether he favors municipal owner
ship OF street railways and also wheth-
or he favors submitting the question
TO popular vote, Mayor Breitmeyer
has outlined his position. He refuses
to give his personal views as 70 this is-
sue but declares himself willing to SUI
init the question 10 the people. The
letter follows:
MIR. Alfred j. Exton. Secretary De-
troll; Federation OF Labor.
Dear Sir-I have your commun-
cation Of July 18th. stating that
the Detroit Federation OF Labor
would like my views on the ques-
ton OF municipal ownership.
To my mind the only question
which | can consistently answer
is the last one. The mayor of the
city OF Detroit is chosen TO repre-
sent the entire electorate and car
~ out the wishes OF the majority.
The new constitution has wisely
provided that no franchise can DO
given private parties or no NUM-
cipal ownership or operation, plan
may be entered into withDuc The
vote of a decisive majority OF the
electors I'm its favor. Under those
conditions the duty of.the mayor
is to follow the will OF the people
when it is expressed. II the people
OF Detroit want municipal owner
ship. no one will strive more earn
estly to put II into operation than
will |: IL they do not want 1t. no
effort OF mine could bring 1t about.
certainly favor giving the people
a right at the proper time 20 say
whether or not they want NUM-
cipal ownership | am,
Yours very truly.
