Chief Executive Regrets What He Said on Election Night About Third Term Since Resent Insult. WILL HE BE RENOMINATED AT CHICAGO CONVENTION.

Thought That If Taft Is Not Nominated on First Ballot, President Will Step in and Take the Plum. , Washington, D. C, April 29 'If I fcould have foreseen how things were roinir. to frame up, I would never have frnade that election night pledge and !t would never have reiterated it three jjnonths ago." President Roosevelt fairly chopped fills words when he savagely made that Snnouncement to a Senator who stood y him In his fight for four battlejphlnfi. ; There is no doubt but that the President ia about as angry as he ever Bias been in the course of his Administration. The attitude of Congress toward the Executive and his legislative program has tested his temper Flo the limit. There has never been a President's tnessago- so discourteously received as forma the recent one sent to Congress. 5n the House it was ignored entirely. Bn th Senate, as soon as a message Ifrom the President was announced, PTbe Senators yawned and moved that Bt be laid over for a day or two. This rwaa done, and the Senate adjourned jfvithxmt even polite inquiry as to what fSteiSMSBage was about. I The President gave utterance to the jpfcatement quoted above in talking Cjfwlttra Senator who was one of the Adnftrlstration leaders in the four battlefight. This Senator commented n the extreme indifference of the iffenate toward the President's wishes, M2r4 expressed the opinion that this jlhdlfference, which has almost as'umeoT the attitude of a studied afnCront, Is due to the fact that the PresMent'hAs eliminated himself from the ftace for the presidential nomination, band that Congress, no longer fearing toe shadow of his influence, is trying rto get even for past times when he Ifcas held It up to its duties. "Yes," snapped the President, "and Jf I could have foreseen how things Twere going to frame up, I would never Siave made that election night pledge. Ftm," he added, "it is made, and it etands, even if advantage is taken of Longworth. The Senator in question then referred to the interview ascribed to Representative Nick Ijongworth. of Cincinnati, the President s son-in-law, in which he said that he did not know what the President would do if nominated by acclamation. The Senator csked the President if he would accept. The President snapped his teeth, and said: "My position on that question is well known and ringing the changes on it will not alter it." It is practically certain that the president will get none of his pet legislative bills through. The Civic Federation-Hepburn bill, which is a white house child, is as dead as can be. This bill was drafted after many long conferences in the white house, in which the President, Samuel Gompers, Scth Low, Francis Lynde Stetson. E. H. Ga ry and others participated. It is one : of the president's dearest wishes that 1 this bill be made a law: it centralizes! power, hobbles courts and invests the executive with prerogatives of the! most far-reaching character. Its re- j Jection is a serious blow to his scheme for continuing "my policies." , As for tariff revision the best possi-. , ble recognition he will siet from pre?-j ent indications, is the empowering of the Ways and Means committee, a I Hhi de-bound stand pat organization, to j 5 jsit through the summer as a tariff j ! commission and study the needs of re-I Vision. I There are many who would no? be ! surprised to see him step into the breach, if Taft should be defeated on ' 'the first ballot and take the noniina- J tton himself in order to nc m a position to force from congress the legislation program it now views w,ith indifiference. Fight Only Begun. Senator Beveridge. of Indiana, who tied the contest in the senate for four battleships in this session of congress, declares that the fight for a greater navt bad only just berun. we lought tor a greater navy and we are going to keep up' the fight. he t&id. "Heretofore then fleet has been kept on the Atlantic coast. Hereafter there shall also be a fleet on the Pacific Coast. The president is more determined than ever, and so are we. "It is we who fought Tor a greater navy and who stand for it now more than ever, who are happy today. We won a substantial victory in getting an appropriation for two battle ships instead of merely an authorization, and in getting a promise publicly made on the floor of the senate from Mr. Allison, chairman of the appropriation committee, and Mr. Hale, chairman of the naval committee, for two more battle f hips next session, maklns: four in this

Washington. D. C. April 'f.- The Post says Roosevelt holds the trump card and may veto the public buildings bill because of the failure of congress to adopt certain features of his legislative proaram. especially that pertaining to the const ruction of four Latt leships.

CURRENCY MEASURE AT LAST GO THROUGH HOUSE Decided at Representative Watson's Little Caucus That Vreeland Bill Should Be Favorably Considered. ALDRICH CLAUSES TO BE STRICKEN OUT. Big Meeting Embracing All Members of House, Will Decide Definitely at Conference Next Week. Washington, April 2f. A conference of eighteen influential members of the house was held, through the efforts of Representative Watson, whip of the house, to pave the way for currency legislation. The meeting resulted in a substantial agreement to the effect that the first, second and third sections of the Vreeland bill should be eliminated and the bill should then be passed. The elimination of these sections is an interesting procedure, for the reason that they comprise the only vestige of the Aldrich bill embraced in the Vreeland bill. It was feared the Vreeland bill would stand no show of passing if it retained any part of the Alririrh measure The spnalnr frnm I Rhode Island is not popular in the central and Western states, and it. was doubted whether a bill in any way identified with his name would meet the approval of the people. Another Conference Coming. Two Indiana representatives Crumpacker and Chaney attended the conference. While the conference was informal and by no means binding, it is believed it has blazed the way for action at a conference next week that will embrace all the republican members of ihe house. The bill as agreed upon, with the Aldrich features eliminated, provides! the following method of quick relief in ; times of currency stringency. i National banks not less than ten in' nmnher. are permuted to incorporate : as a clearing house association, with a j capital of at least .s.'t.OW.Ooo. When a financial crisis approaches! and a bank needs money it may realize 1 quickly by taking the notes it holds. I representing loans, which notes must be approved by the proper officers of: the clearing house association, and deposit them with the government. wnicn win issue to tne oank ier cent of their face value in emercencv circulation. j The circulation is to bear a tax of1 from 4 to 1 per cent, according to the j length of time it is outstanding. j The banks belonging to the clearing ! house association are held jointly lia- ! ble for every note put up as a basis for emergency circulation. The elimination of the Aldrich features of the bill takes away the part that permitted the issuance of emergency circulation on state and municipal bonds. The objection to this is that such bonds are generallv held in j ;ew York and such a provision would i be class legislation in the interest of j the New York bankers. THE WEATHER PROPHET.

Physicians and College Superintendent Tell Different Stories of Manner of Caring for Afflicted Ones. MARVEL COMES TO THE DEFENSE OF COLLEGE.

Says That Nurse Did Not Refuse to Care for Patients, But City Health Officer Says This Was the Case. Direct antithesis appears in the accounts of the recent measles scare and Quarantine at Larlhani colli Statements were made by Dr. Cm.rloi Marvel, Dr. Charles Bond and Alnei T. W'aii', superintendent of the lege, to The Palladium today in the effort to place the matter before the public correctlv. There appears a dis-1 parity in these statements that, leaves the entire matter very much in a state of conjecture even alter the at tempts at exnlanaiion. Dr. Marve charged the press of the city with misrepresenting the facts and declared the college? has been done an injustice as the result. Mo said it was in the effort to place the institution in the proper light that he was willing to appear in an interview. Dr. Marvel said Dr. Hond had exceeded his authority in assuming the directorate of affairs at. the college, which is bejond the jurisdiction of the city physician and under the control of Dr. George Grant, county health officer. Stipt. Ware said Dr. Hond was acting under an agreement with Dr. Grant. Dr. Rond maintained he acted purely in the interests of the dormitory students and the matter was controlled by Dr. Grant. In relating the details of the matter, llr. .Marvel said: "When Dr. Hond was called in the first case that of Miss j Florence Maple, be declared she had j the measles and immediately established a quarantine. Me placed the! quarantine against Miss Helen Carter, i Ihe room mate of Miss Maple, also, and refused to permit. Miss Maole to be removed to the nursery, where she' could be given treatment. Miss Maple and Miss C-'Vter were locked ' in- the room together and it seemed 1 arrangements had been mad for .Miss I Carter to attend to Miss Maple. Dr.! Carter, the father of Miss Carter.' heard of the situation and he wrote to the college and to Dr. Hond objecting to his daughter having to take care of a measles patient. It was not until then that Dr. Rond would permit Miss Maple to be removed from her room to the nursery. "It has been reported in the papers Miss Newall. the nurse, refused to take care of Miss Maple and Miss Carter had to. When I was called in ihe case Miss Carter had said she was willing to remain with Miss Maple and i loin tne nurse to stay out. She is in charge of the entire dormitory and it would not do for her to become infected. She said she had never had the measles and did not care to attend to the nursing. When Dr. Hond finally consented to the removal of Miss Maple to the nursery the assistant nurse was put in charge of her. Miss Carter did not develop the disease. I told the trustees they could not interfere under the penalty of violating the law. I told them to keep hands off as a quarantine had been established. I had instructions announced in the dining room that no one was to visit a quarantined person or enter the rooms as this would be a violation of the law ihe same as if it occurred in a private house." Dr. Rond said: "When 1 was called in the first case I communicated with Dr. Grant as it was out of ray district. He told me to put a quaramine card on the door. The case had developed on one young lady and the other had ut-fu f.iuseu so mere was no teliing I whether she would have the disease or j not. The nurse refused to attend to (the patient. She said she had not had the measles and did not want to I nurse a person with the affliction. I The roommate was not required to do ; the nursing but volunteered for the ) work. I did not refuse to permit the iMiiem io oe removed to tne nursery immediately and as soon as I found out her roommate did not have the disease I permitted Miss Maple to be taken to the nursery. After the patient was removed it was necessary to keep her roommate under quarantine for a short time only. She was kept in quarantine simply to see if she wouid develop a case. Her father wrote he did not believe his daughter would make a very good nurse but did not demand she be released from quarantine. Everybody seemed to be satisfied and there was no clash in authority." The explanation of Supt. Ware differs slightly from those of the physicians. Mr. Ware said: "Dr. Bond established the quarantine right away. The first time I spoke to him he said Miss Maple and her roommate must remain in their room. It was the next day Miss Maple was removed to the

President of the Board of Public Works Says That Is Why Light. Heat and Power Man Is in the City.

SAYS COMPETITOR MAY SELL ITS PROPERTY. This However Will Be in Event The Purchase of Municipal Plant Is Wot Made Pole Question Still Up. Prc.-ident George Staulach of the boar i of public works is of the opinion that the presence hereof K. K. Wither- . general manager of the corporation which coin rols the Light, Heat A. Power company, means ibat the company intends to make one final effort to purchase the municipal lighting plant and, if ibis effort is unsin ecssful. the com. ' pany will di.-pose of th Light. Heat tc Power company plant. Mr. Staubacli also believes that the action of the company in making ita final effort, to absorb the municipal plant has been hastened by the action of the rity council in passing the Main street pole ordinance. He stated this morning that Mr. Witherby had informed him that it would cost hii company in the neighborhood of S!t.ii to place its Main street wires underground. Mr. Staiibach states that thi Right, Heat A. Power company will never do this unless, it. secures control of the municipal plant, and he is confident that the city will never dispose of its plant. He appears to be confident that th municipal plant will not be sold out to its competitor and that the courts would sustain, if appealed to. the validity of the Main street pole ordinance and the action of the city in refusing to comply wiih its terms on the ground that a municipality ran not legislate against itself. "If by the first of September, the time given by the ordinance for the removal of poles, the Main street poles of the Right. Heat A Power company are stiil standing, what action will the city take-.-" Mr. Staubach was asked. "The city will order all pedes belonging to that company located on Main street from Second street to Twentyfirst street, chopped down." he replied. The Terre Haute.
