Speer is only 80 years old On the

had been slightly irritated during the

Peoples Only Hope in Me, Says
Roosevelt
THE ONLY PROGRESSIVE
Who Can Be Nominated-Any Other
Means Rule of the Bosses-Everyone
Who Believes in Decency Should
Give Support.

New York, May 1.-THE Roosevelt
committee gave out yesterday a letter
frcm Roosevelt to R. A. Caswell of Min
neapolis, analyzing the political situa'
ton.
Mr.. Roosevelt names North Dakota
Wisconsin, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ne
braska, Oregon New Hampshire, Mas.
sachusetts and Maryland as the states
in which the voters have had free eX-
preston of opinion. These states with
256 delegates to the Republican national
convention, will send 40 delegates for
President Taft and PIG against him. OF
these states. Mr.. Taft carried only New
Hampshire and Massachusetts,, and in
Massachusetts, the Roosevelt delegates
at -large were elected by twice the plu-
rality given Mr.. Taft in the preferential
vote.
Mr. Roosevelt thinks that if primaries
were held in all the states there would
be little variation from these figures and
Mr. Taft's chance of denomination Ties
in securing delegates who will misrep-
resent the people"
Mr. Roosevelt again pays his respects
to Messrs Gallinger, Penrose, Aldrieh,
Healing, Lorimer, Guggenheim, Tawney
and Others and says that while his per-
sonal interests are of no moment the
only candidate who can possibly be nom
mated against the bosses is himself.

Democrats are Anxious to Put
Programme Through
ADJOURNMENT is FAR OFF
No Prospect of Ending Session Before
July Final Vote on the
Commerce Court
Yesterday.

Washington, May 1.-THE programme
of legislation is gradually being evolved
looking to fixing a definite date for adj
iournment. The tariff bills were laid
aside Thursday to permit consideration
of the river and harbor bill. From time
to time, as the general appropriation
bills appear in the Senate, the tariff
legislation will be sdetracked to per-
NIT the supply bills to go through. Re-
markable progress was made with the
river and harbor bill Thursday. This
measure usually requires from two days
to a week to go through the Senate.
Thursday it was passed, much to the
surprise of the leaders themselves, III
about six hours.
A member of the finance committee
predicted yesterday that vote would
be reached on the bill revising the metal
schedule in the week beginning May 10.
He believes that most Of the tariff de-
bate will be addressed to the metal bill.
The chemical bill has been reported and
it is expected that other bills will come
out of the committee at the next meet
ing.
The progressive Republican senators
held meeting recently and the fact
became known yesterday that they de-
eided to follow the suggestion OF SEN
ator Cummins and oppose an adjourn
ment OF Congress until after votes have
been had on the four principal tariff
bills relating TO wool, cotton, metals and
sugar. They also agreed to oppose any
recess Of Congress on account of the
national conventions and to insist on
vote on the Lorimer case.
With only five weeks remaining be-
fore the date of the Republican nation
al convention, there is a general agree
ment as to the impossibility Of get
ting an adjournment before the con-
vention, but there is a growing impress
sion that by dilgent work the session
may be brought to a close as early
as July /. That is the earliest date
that the most optimistic senator viii
fix.
One of the most interesting features
of the legislative situation in the Sen.
ate is as to the disposition of the tar
iff legislation. Undoubtedly the pro-
gressive Republicans look forward to
successful coalition with the Demo
cratic senator's thai will result in the
passage of compromise bills through the
Senate But it is not likely they win
be able to realize their hopes. The
Democrats have tariff programme of
their own evolved by the House leaders
and they feel that they owe something
to their party leaders in the House,
which originates tariff legislation. The
Democrats will, therefore, exhaust every
effort to pass the bills that have come
over from the House. Failing in that,
they may be willing to accept COM
promise put forward by the progressive

CALLS ASQUlTH
ENEMY TO CANADA
Bonar Law Directly Charges Premier's
Government With Assisting the
United States"

London. May ll.-Andrew Bonar law
the leader of the opposition in the Brit
ish House of Commons, addressing the
annual love feast of the Primrose league
in the Albert hall yesterday, directly
charged Premier Asquith's government
with assisting the United States in its
alleged designs on Canada.
The Tory leader said: The quarrel
between President Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt showed that the object of reel
procity negotiations was to make Can
ada an adjunct of the United States.
While it was the duty of President TAFT
to look after the interests of the United
States, il was also the duty Of the
British government to look after the
interests of the British empire, but il
went out of its way to try and make
Canada an adjunct of the United States.
from which il was saved by the instinct
of the Canadian people
Bonar law went on to refer TO the
Anglo-Germsn war ornaments. He sail
the time was rapidly approaching when
Great Britain alone would be unable
to maintain an adequate navy. The only
solution of the problem was to unite the
great sister nations Of the empire. lie
continued:
What would have become of that
hope if Canada had become an adjunct
Of the United States?"

Washington, May lI.--The interstate

that he would file minority report,
while Senator Pomerene announced he

is a code of laws on bills of lading.
Under the measure reported every
railroad or other common carrier in the
United States engaged in interstate or
foreign commerce would be liable on
bills of lading issued by its authorized
agents, Notwithstanding the agents had
not received the goods. At present the
railroads are not liable under such cir
