This afternoon representatives of the

Mr.. Roosevelt seemed surprised when
informed that several delegations from
civic and political organizations from
various parts of the country would be
at the dock. and that several thousand
people would undoubtedly be on hand
to give him a parting cheer as the
steamship goes out.

ARE all those people coming? The
French ambassador. Mr.. Jusserand.
wrote me that he would see me at the
dock. If a big crowd is coming l will
write the company to see that he has
no trouble i'm getting through the

New York, which, of course, depends
upon the weather. There will be no

Spirit of Cancellation.

NJ. Barthou received the deputation IN
q conciliatory spirit. He said that the
government could not discuss the resig-
nation of an official except with parlla-
ment, but he practically gave the dele
CATION the satisfaction they demanded
on other points, explaining to them
however, that the government had not
vet exercised its right of dismissal.
Premier Clemenceau later met the
deputation and confirmed NJ. Barthou' S
statement with regard to the attitude of
the government.
At the conclusion of these private in

No HENDERSON,

Mr.. Roosevelt was shown q dispatch

would join the expedition here as an
additional member.
I don't know anything about it. 90
said Mr.. Roosevelt. IF any one else
is going | don't know it, If they try.
1 think there will be some way to stop
them. There is a story that a man
went to Texas with a 22-caiibre re-
volver, and a cowboy said the new
conner:
- Stranger, if you shoot me with that
thing, and 1 find it out, I'll kick you
out of Texas
We'll, if I find any one trying TO fol-
low me, l may think of the cowboy

To the correspondents who called on
him today Mr.. Roosevelt said:
Il want TO say now that I do not in

will not make any statement regarding
my African trip or on any other sub
ject here, at Naples or Mombassa, so
that any appearing as coming from me

Took Records Previously Denied

Fight.
(special Correspondence.l }

Hermiston, Ore Oct. IA climax
to the legal struggle between the new
and the old boards of the waterusers'
association occurred last night when
the members of the new board, headed
by Secretary George Upthegrove en-
tered the office of F. A. Yates, former
secretary, forcibly opened the safe
and took possession of the books of
the association.
This drastic action on the part Of
the members of the new board was
taken after Yates had refused hpon
advice from his attorney, to turn the
books over to the new board as was di
rected by Circuit Judge H. ]. BNan.
1t is not known what further de-
velopment will occur in the fight.
Thus far no steps have been taken
against Upthegrove for having broken
into the office ana secured the books.
The safe in Yates office was opened
by means of sledge and cole
chisel.
The present controversy has no con-
nection with the former rivalry ex-
listing between the two sides of the
town. The old contention between the
and the Newport elements
has been dropped and peace reigns
supreme as far as the most of the peo.
pie of Hermiston are concerned.
