ROOSEVELT ORDERED
 IT STRICKEN OUT.
Original Bull Moose Platform Had a
 Prohibition Plank.
Special to The Bulletin )

(SpeCldl to The BuueUn.)
 Washington, Aug.s 2O,-The story of Matthew O'BTien's attempt to get a prohibition plank in the Bull Moose platform has been printed in many papers, but how he came to make the fight has not been told until last night when it was told by O'Brien at the capitol in this city. It seems that O'Brien was in Chicago on business and went to the Congress hotel. whers the platform committee held it's initial meeting, on the first night of the con- vention. As he entered the lobby of the hotel he was accosted by former Congressman Adam Bede of Mime sota and the following dialogue en- sued:
 Mir Bede Hello, what are you doing here, O'Brien? You are a prohibition ist.
 Mr. O'Brien: I am here to put pro hibition plank in the Teddy platform
 MT. Bede: What hospital do you pre- fer to be taken to? Tell me and I will send for the ambulance
 MT. O'Briene Don't you think I dare do 1t?
 MT. Bede: I have a plank I would like to get Into the platform, too. The people of my state are greatly inter- ested in it. We want toilet rooms in airships, I believe the plumbers union would fall for that plank.
 Mir. O'Brien: Stop your kidding and watch me 1 am going in now anG make a speech in favor of my plank And he did go in, and there was nc need for the ambulance. The commit tee and the audience applauded hin and he was requested to draft the plank and it appeared in the tentative platform, but Roosevelt ordered il stricken out

two additional fruit steamships wiI De chartered to sail in connection with
 the larger passenger and freight steamship. The company has already been assured by responsible plantation owners in Jamaica that more than
 sufficient fruit of the highest quality will be at once supplied, So that there
 will be no shortage in that direction. Besides negotiations with plantation
 owners ip Nicaragua, Costa Rica. Co., ] lombia and other tropical countries are being entered into, so that a greater
 supply of first class fruit will be ready when required
 The profits of this department of the | company cannot help being equal to
 those now being made by the several | existing fruit companies. It is known | that their profits have been almost
 fabulous, and one company is recently l credited with making a net gain of
 $l,OVO,OOO each month for the months
 of May and June of this year. It is fully believed by the officials of the
 company that within a short time af- ter the inception of the service that
 other fruit steamships will be required TOT the business that will develop The l fruit will be handled at the New
 London terminal of the company more l eXpeditiously and with less cost than
 now prevails at any other port. The
 fruit cars will be loaded on their own
 tracks, directly alongside the steam | ships
 1 Freight will be accepted for Jamaica, 1 the West Indies, the Isthmus of Pan | ana and the west coasts of both North | and South America at rates exceeding 1 ly favorable to shippers in Canada and l the United States The tracks of the | Central Vermont railway, a part of the | Grand Trunk system, and those of the | New York, New Haven and Hartford
 railroad bring this freight to the side | Of the ships. and the absence of float
 and lighterage charges enables rates | to be given which will secure a large
 percentage of freight and consequent l profits.
 The route will be the shortest from
 Canada and New England to the Pan
 anna canal. and in a recent conference
 with the officials of the Grand Trunk
 railway system In Montreal the com l pany was assured of the hearty and 1 effective cooperation of that railway, | which practically operates throughout

WEST AVON ELECTION
 OFFICIALS IN ERROR
Denied Citizenship to Two Sons o-
 American Citizen.
Especial to The Bulletin.l


 Washington, Aug. 20-Charles F. Stilwell of West Avon has written the bureau of naturalization, department of commerce and labor and asked to be informed as to the citizenship stat us of his two sons. born in Canada.
 The facts as stated by Mr. Stilwell are as fOllows Both the father and mother of these young men are of native birth. Mr Stilwell was en- ployed by the Edison Electric company of New Jersey and was sent by that company to Hamilton, Canada. as it's agent He never claimed citizenship there, never owned real estate there, never took any part in the politics of the country and paid frequent visits to his home in the states.
 During his residence in Canada two sons were born to them. In 1896 he returned with his family and took up his residence in Connecticut. His own right to a vote has never been ques- toned but the election officials of his town refuse to allow his sons to be made voters on the grounds of. their foreign birth
 Replying to MT. StiIwelIs letter, Hon. Benjamin s. Cable, acting secre- tary of the department of commerce and labor, quotes section 1898 of the revised statutes of the United States, which. he says, establishes the status of the sons. The section quoted reads
 That persons heretofore born, or hereafter to be born, out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, whose fathers were or shall be at the time of their birth citizens of the United States. shall be deemed and considered and are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States"

 Pressed her ruby wine, And I laughed, and danced we on'

At THE OREGON THEATRE
SANFORD DODGE HAS
THE RIGHT OF WAY

In casting about for successful
play for this season, Mr.. Sanford
Dodge decided to produce '"The Right
of Way" With this end in view he
secured from Charles Frohmans
agents the American and Canadian
rights for this wonderful drama. He
will use Eugene w. Presbrey's ver-
sion which is conceded to be most
finished dramatization of Sir Gilbert
Parker's popular story, which by the
way is founded on absolute facts.
The story is not In any way dis
cussion of religion, still 1t propounds
some questions that are difficult to
answer and in fact can only be an
swered by the individual opinion and
dictates of the individual brain and
conscience. The play is constructed
and executed with artistic care and
detail and is intensely interesting
with thrilling climaxes and tense tell
ing dialogue.
AS Charley steele, the brainy law
yer, Mr. Sanford Dodge will prove a
revelation to those who have known
him in the Sack and Buskin" Of the
legitimate drama. Those who have
