SHEEHAN GOES OUT
AFTER SENATORIAL

CANDIDATE OF TAMMANY HALL
REFUSES TO STEP

able Choice Would Be Binding.

NEW YORK, March 27.-William F
Sheehan will go before the DemOciat
ic caucus, to be called Monday night,
as a candidate for denomination foi
United States Senator.
So much he affirmed last night in
an open letter to the Democratic
members of the legislature and in pri
vate conversation he told his friends
he expected another majority endorse
ment. But he is not the only expec-
tant person; Daniel Cohalen, right.
hand man to Charles Murphy in the
councils of Tammany Hall, would not
be surprised If nomination fell into
his lap.
MY position on the senatorship,'
said Mr.. Sheehan, has never been a
matter of doubt l reitterate that un-
der no circumstances will decline
the nomination given me by the unan-
imous vote of the Democratic caucus,
nor will I acquiesce in any suggestion
that my name shall not be presented
to any future Democratic caucus"
IF, and when," runs the letter,
majority of the Democratic repIesen-
tatives shall decide in caucus to re-
consider the vote by which | was nom
mated for United States Senator, to
any person participating therein say
that the position Of the new caucus
shall be as binding and effective as
the first"
Mr. Sheehan would not amplify this
statement last night, but in discuss
ing it he laid emphasis on the ''if, and
when," which he insisted should be
set off by commas, as the introduc-
ton to the qualified contingency. In
short he let it be seen that the posi-
bility carried in those three words
was not one expected to confront.
This agrees with the understanding
of what his hacker, Mr.. Murphy, told
Gov Dix yesterday. He knew then
that Mr. Sheehan would make state.
ment last night and he was able to
carry to the Governor the tenor of
that statement, with renewed assur-
ance that Mondays caucus would be
free and untrammeled. I'm this as
surance Mr.. Cohalan, who was the
personal support of many Tammany
men, reads his chance of success.
On the other hand, the insurgents,
through their leader, Franklin d.
Roosevelt, has given 1t to be under
stood that they will not enter any eau
Gus binding upon them, in which the
choice is likely to be one they cannot
approve.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March a.
In a special message sent to the Gen.
eral Assembly today Gov. Hooper
makes some notable recommends
tions. One of the most important is
the suggestion that law be enacted
to forbid members of the Legislature
from practicing law before any de-
partment of the government. This is
palpably hit at the infamous pardon
brokerage that grew up under the Pat
terson regime. On this point the
Governor says:
Il recommend the enactment Of a
law to forbid members of the Legis-
lature from practicing law or repre-
senting clients in the presentation of
claims of any character, or petitions
for pardon, before any of the de-
partments, bureaus or officials OF the
State government. The wisdom and
efficacy of such a statute have been
demonstrated by the federal govern
ment, and the need of it has been ex-
perienced in Tennessee
The Governor strongly criticises
the present junketing system and
urges that the State create some sys-
tenn that will provide adequate inspec-
ton at a lass cost to the taxpayers.
He says that there is not another
State in the Union that clings to this
Anticipated and extravagant system
of auditing it's books.
The Governor recommends that
some law be passed that will provide
compensation for the members of the
State Board of Education. He says
that members OF the Board have been
compensated in the past but 1t seems
to have been done without legislative
authority He also urges that law
be passed to prevent the election by
the Board OF Education of one of its
mem bers to an office within the gift
of the board until one year after the
expiration of the term of Office of
such member.
Additional provision for the care of
the insane of the State Is earnestly
urged. The present system of con-
fining the insane of the county in jails
is caustically condemned
The Governor also takes a strong
stand against the fee system for the

LOST KEY: COSTS $500.
"Grccn" Policeman Responsible for
500 New Office Locks.

Washington, oct. 1S.-The careless
ness of Capitol policeman, who lost
the master key Of the House office
building, has just cost the government
nearly $1,000 for new locks. As the
master" key could not be found after
an active search lasting for more than
a month it was decided not to take
chance by having n new one made,
but to have new cylinders made for
the 500 locks on the doors of offices
occupied by members of the House.
This work has just been completed.
The lost master" key was in the
custody of a newly appointed police
man. He did not think much of 1t
when he could not find the key, SIM
ply reporting that it had vanished and
asking that new one be made. When
the authorities got after him rather
sharply, he offered to pay for n new
one Finally, the seriousness of the
proposition dawned upon him and
when he found that the government
had to pay out $1,000 for new locks
oil his account, he nearly tainted. He
keeps all his keys chained to himself
inow.

that the cost of the intersection
should be assessed up to those prop

Defends Dollar Diplomacy.

Sacramento Calf, oct ia
vigorous defense of dollar diplo-
macy as exemplfied by the Nicara-
guam and Honduran loan treaties now
before the senate, was made here to-
day by President Taft.
The president lauded the two treat
les which guarantee the collection of
the customs duties of the South Am
erican republics to satisfy loans to be
made by American bankers under the
treaties, as a means of preserving
peace in Central and South America.
He declared that with the debts of
these two countries funded and the
collection of the customs in the
hands of men recommended by the
United States working under the pro-
lection of this country. revolutions
would cease. He urged that the in
terminable Honduran and Nicaraguan
revolutions have the custom houses
as their objective point, and that with
these under American protection there
would be no incentive to revolution.
The loans to be made by the Amer
lean firms of j. p Morgan & Co.,
Kuhn, Loeb & Co, the First National
Bank and the City National Bank of
New York, are to be used to liquidate
the debts of Honduras and Nicara-
qua and their payment is to be guar
anteed out of the customs receipts.
The president was greeted by eight
thousand people here and delivered
his addresse following parade
through the principal streets.
While here he received a telegram
containing a request from the Mex
ioan government, asking permission
to transport Mexican troops through
the southern part of the United States
in order to reach the scenes of Indian
uprisings.

HORROR GROWS

Nogales, oct 13.-Belated advices

west coast of Mexico, will be very
large and the property loss enormous.
All the business section of Guyamas
was inundated by tidal wave which
followed the hurricane. At EN- Pal
mo, most of the town was flooded.
Hermosillo and Ortiz suffered great
ly. 1t is feared disease will follow as
no effort has been made to clear the

Another subject Of interest at the
meeting today was that regarding
closer dry farming methods in what
is termed the light land section ad-
joining the city. W. l.. Thompson
broached the subject and urged that
nothing would be more beneficial to
Pendleton than to double the produce
tivity or value Of the lighter lands

tention tho. by means Il the Camp

suits may be brought about
