that he has successfully accomplished

pleted arrangements for an immediate

The lumbermen plan to file petit

COL ROOSEVELT
HAS RELEASED
THE DELEGATES
Says Taft Won Preference
Vote in Massachusetts
and Urges Men Named
to Support Opponent.

Oyster Bay, May 1.-Col. Roosevelt
renounced his claim today to the eight
delegates-at-large to the republican
national convention elected for him in
Massachusetts yesterday. He tele-
graphed that he would expect them to
vote for President Taft. taking this
action he said, because Of the fact that
President Taft carried the state on
the presidential preferential vote.
Col. Roosevelt announced his decis-
ion In a statement, copies of which he
telegraphed to each of the eight dele
gates-at-large elected yesterday. The
statement follows: r
I'm Massachusetts the ballots con-
tanned the names of eight candidates
for delegates-at-large with, printed un-
der each, the words pledged to vote
for Theodore Roosevelt and also con-
tanned column in which the voter
was to express his preference as to
whether l or Mr.. Taft should be NOM
mated as president. 1t would seem
unlikely that majority of the voters
would both vote for the delegates
pledged to me and at the same time
express q preference for Mr.. Taft, but
apparently this is what has happened.
"Such being the case, and on the
assumption that the preferential vote
is for Mr.. Taft, hereby announce
that l shall expect these delegates-at-
large to disregard the pledge to sup
pert me and support Mr.. Taft; and II
any one Of them hesitates, I shall
write him and urge him with all the
emphasis and insistence in my power
to take the course indicated and sup
port Mr., Taft in the convention.
in this fight am standing for GER
tain great principles which regard as
vital to the present and future welfare
OF this nation. Ny success Is OF value
only as an incident to securing the
triumph Of these principles. Foremost
among these principles is the right OF
the people to rule and the duty Of their
representatives really to represent
them, In nominating conventions no
less than in legislative or executive of.
fees. -f.a-
IF majority of the rank and file
of the republican party do not wish
me nominated, then, most certainly l
do not wish to be nominated. s...s.
"My aim has been to get the genll-
inc expression of the genuine desire
precisely, as, If nominated, should
desire to get at the polls the genuine
expression Of the majority of the
whole people; because my only pur-
pose in being elected president would
be to put into effect certain principles
and policies in which ardently be-
lieve, and which could not possibly
put into effect unless had behind me
the hearty support of the majority OF
our citizens"

JAPANESEHAVE
NOT ACQUIRED
MEXICAN LAND
President so Informs Senate
in Message Answering
Resolution in Which In
formation is Sought.

Washington, D. c., May 1.-Presl.
dent Taft today informed the senate
that the department Of state has no
evidence whatever adequate to show
any acquisition of land or any inten-
ton or desire to acquire land, whether
directly or Indirectly, in Mexico by or
on the part of the imperial Japanese
government. The presidents message
was in response to a senate resolution
calling for information regarding an
alleged purchase of land at Magdalena
bay by the Japanese government or
by Japanese company.
Secretary Knox in his report said
that the rumors regarding q Japanese
purchase evidently arose from an
American syndicate's efforts to dis.
pose of lands near Magdalena bay to
a Japanese syndicate. An effort was
made to ascertain the attitude of the
American government toward such
transaction, since the syndicate felt
that Japanese capitalists would not
care to consummate the purchase
without the approval of the Japanese
government and that the latter would
not give its approval unless assured
the transaction would be unobject1on'
able to the United States.
The state department made 1t plain
that the transfer would be 80 obvious
ly a cause of regret to the American
government that it would appear un'
necessary further to comment on the
disposition of the federal government
In the premises" ..,.
The message precipitated debate
in the senate, Senators Bacon and
Lodge concurred In the opinion that
If the Monroe doctrine did not cover
the situation a new doctrine covering
it would be created. ....,a 81 -..-s
Explaining his reasons for calling
for the correspondence, Mr.. Lodge
said it was to prevent the development
|of any embarrassing situation with
reference to Mexico and Japan. He
said the time had come when the
United States should take the position
that neither directly nor indirectly
could any foreign government obtain
the control Of lang in this hemisphere
that might constitute menace to the
United States. -.. u-. .
Senator Raynor said that If Japan
established a base of supply or coaling
station In Mexico he would regard the
act as declaration of war.

DISCUSS RULE :.
ON ADJUSTMENTS
GENERAL METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CONFERENCE AT MINNEAPO.
LIS TO TAKE ACTION.

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 1.-Already
interest is keen among the delegates
who assembled to attend the opening
here of the quadrennial general con.
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church as to what action shall be taken
on proposal to change the present dis.
ciplinary rules governing amusements
The rule prohibits dancing, games OF
|chance ,theater going, circuses and
horse racing as being "a tendency to.
ward worldliness." The proposition
as to it's rentention or rejection has
been referred to committee.
Among the arguments advanced in
opposition to retaining the present rule
as given to the committee are:
1T violates Christian freedom.
"It is source of constant irritation
1T puts many in an unjust attitude
as disloyal to the church.
ut cannot be enforced. ...
GAS an uninforced law it brings dis
cipline into contempt. a
1T keeps many conscientious people
out of the church.
ut breeds hypocrisy.
ut has not added to spirituality in
the church" 'o..-.-s -.
Arguments for continuing the rule
are given as:
"The rule voices protest against
worldliness.
Repeal suggests backward step
morally. E... e..
MANY will avoid harmful things be
cause the church directs.
Il hn nj uyif
great publicity as indicating moral
declension." ,...E
It was stated it probably would be
several days before the real work Of
the conference was reached. Only the
mornings are to be devoted to con
ference business, the afternoons being
given up to committees and the even
ings to reports from missionaries.
