OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July s.
Theodore Roosevelt made it clear
today. not by direct statement,
but by implication so strong that
lit admits of no misinterpretation,
that he will support Representa-
tive Miles Poindexter of Spokane
In his fight. for a seat in the Unit
ed States senate from the state of
Washington.
4 They had luncheon together and
la conference at Sycamore Hill to-
day, and Mr.. Poindexter departed
ljubilant. In endorsing Poindexter
flor the senate Colonel Roosevelt
places himself squarely in opposi-
ltioh to Richard A. Ballinger. sec
tretary of the interior, whom Presf-
dent Taft has so warmly defended.
It is the only stand he has taken
bearing directly or indirectly on
1.-THE Ballinger-Pinchot controversy.
Mr.. Poindexter is opposed to Sec
Iretary baIlinger from first to last.
The secretary and Mr.. Poindexter
are both from the state of Wash
Iington.
Colonel Roosevelt looked happy
when he received the interviewers
a little later. He was dressed In
the crash riding suit which he
wears most Of the time he is at
home. Seated in his library he
spoke of the talk with Mr.. Poin-
dexter in al manner that showed
Iplafn1y the pleasure the meeting
had given him. This is what he
said.
'Represehtative Poindexter and
L went over the political situation
In the Northwest. He assured me
he was in hearty sympathy with
my conservation policy. Mr.. Poin-
dexter is a candidate for the Unit
led States senate and is politically
opposed to that wing Of the party
headed by Mr.. BaIlinger, secretary
|of the interior"
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-07-08

The welcome was stated briefly
by Roosevelt and by Representa-
tive Poindexter in these words:
1.-The visit was most pleasant. ]
was pleased to find how thorough
ly we were in accord on all mat
ters discussed"
This was the sum total of the
official statement. Neither Mr..
Poindexter nor your correspond
ent, who was with him at the in
terview and afterward until he
took the train for the west, ex-
changed another word with any
representative Of any newspaper.
Fake Stories Sent Out.
Any number of fake stories
were sent broadcast by persons
wishing to put Mr.. Poindexter IN
an awkward position.
II ann sorry to have to
deny these fakes" said Col.
Roosevelt to me yesterday,
.'because my denial may seem
to reflect on Mr.. Poindexter,
who I know was not i'm any
was responsible for them. I
wish you would do what you
can to make this clear"
Such are the facts in regard to
the Poindexter interview and the
various statements published In
regard to the conference.
Neither Mr.. Poindexter nor my
self are at liberty to say what hap
pened or what was said at the
conference. The result Is sur.
ficiently set forth in the authorrz-
ed statement above quoted. Fur
ther than this 1t is only neces-
sary to say that Mr.. Poindexter is
a progressive; Col. Roosevelt II
also progressive. Mr.. PoindexteI
believes in conservation, real kind
Not the "Ballinger fake brand OF
conservation" He believes In the
kind of conservation which Clifford
Pinchot represents. Mr.. Poin.
dexter has shown his faith by his
works. He has fought the Cannon.
Aldrich system to a standstill.
He has had his patronage taken
from him as punishment py
President Taft and Postmaster
General Hitchcock, butt he mas
gone on fighting them. The
friends of Colonel Roosevelt VIII
not go far wrong in doing wnat
they can to uphold the plans OF
Mr. Poindexter in his fights.

WHITE ISLAND.
its Strange Lakes, Sulphur Fumes and
 Clouds of Steam.

It's Strange Lakes, Sulphur Fumes and
 Clouds of Steam.
 White island, a New Zealand natu- ral wonder, derives it's name from the clouds of white steam in which it ap- pears to be continually enveloped. Its area is only 600 acres and it's height about SSO feet above the sea level
 In form and color it is like repos- ing camel, while it's interior, with its gray, weather beaten, almost perpen- dicular cliffs, recalls the Coliseum al Rome. Overhanging the southern land ing place stands column of rock closely resembling a sentinel. which has been dedicated to the memory of Captain Cook. The water of the is land is of pale green hue. and any thing dipped into it becomes of red brick color. The fumes of sulphur are always plainly perceptible.
 On fine moonlight night wonder full sight is afforded to any one who will sit in an open boat in one of the lakes of the island. Covering an area of fifty acres is an immense caldron hissihg and snorting and sending forth volumes of poisonous steam, while all chances of egress appear to- be de- nied by the steep. silent and gloomy cliffs.-Eritish Australian.

F.yino Fish.

Interesting are the habits of the fly ing fish, that queer denizen of the sea found principally in the region of the trade winds. Does it rise from the sea like bird:" you ask No. It shoots out of the waves like an arrow, and with outspreading wings sails on the wind in graceful curves, rising some times, one might say, to the height of fifteen feet, but not often so high, and then, lowering, it again touches the crest of wave and renews it's flight. This operation may be repeated till it covers distance, say, of 800 yards in the case of the stoutest on the wing, though very often not half that dis tance is covered. A ship sailing through the trade winds will often be visited on dark nights by flying fish which hit the sails or rigging and fall on deck, where of course they soon give up life.-St Nicholas.

sponses Are Sunstruek.

The sponge being an animal, it is necessary to kill it. This is done by exposing it for several hours on the broad decks of the boats. In summer sponges soon die, but in winter take long time owing to weaker force of the sun. After death they are brought ashore and put in the cradles. These are inclosures made on the seashore by setting stakes little apart from each other. The ebb and flow of the tide wash the animal matter from the sponges, and the work is completed by manual labor. They are then taken to the packing house, graded, strung, baled and dispatched to their destina- tion-Pan Mall Gazette
