. poses Roosevelt Hearing.
WASHINGTON, July 24.—It now
looks as if Col. Roosevelt will not
be permitted to air his objections to
the ratification of the treaty with
Colombia before the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.

committee, sees no reason why Col.
Roosevelt should testify to happen
ings of twelve years ago that are en
tirely immaterial, but that if he has
any valid objections he can make his
statement in writing like anybody
else and it will be considered.
Roosevelt objects particularly to
wards that part of the treaty that
expresses “sincere regret” on the
part of the United States and also
to {he payment of the $25,000,000 to
reimburse Colombia for the loss of
the territory in the Panama canal

Japanese cruiser, one of the fleet of
three that recently visited Pacific
coast ports, will join the Kagamaru
in the north Pacific and that the mer
chant vessel will be escorted to Ja
pan because of the fear that the Hin
dus in the crew will mutiny and
make a pirate vessel of the Japan
ese ship, killing the officers and
crew.
The Canadian government has
spent $10,000 in the past two months
in provisioning the ship, feeding the
three hundred^ Hindus and in the e
tra police precautions taken to pre

sands of Hindus in the city occurred

ASKS PARDONFOR
CONVICT HOGKINS
• * ^ -
Detective Burns Asks President
Wilson to Pardon Convicted
Dynamiter.
WASHINGTON. July 24—Detective
Burns is in this city in an effort to
induce President Wilson to pardon
Hockins, who was convicted of dy
namiting and sent to Fort Leaven
worth for a term of three years.
I Burns has represented to the Pres
ident that Hockins assisted in the
capture of the McNamaras, who were
convicted at Los.Angeles for the dy
namite outrage when The Times
building was destroyed and twenty
three persons killed.
Strong objection has been made by
labor leaders to the pardou because
of the fact that Hockins withdrew
from the other dynamiters and re
fused to make an appeal with them
against the verdict and also because
he is considered a traitor to union
ism. Hockins started at once to
serve his time while the balance of
the convicted dynamiters made an
appeal and were allowed their liberty
on bail but the higher courts re
fused to reverse the conviction and
they started a year later tp serve
the sehtences imposed by the Indian-'
apolis court. Hockins has served half
of his sentence.
Lieut, and Mrs. Howard, of Fort
Liscum, will leave on the Sampson
for San Francisco. Lieut. Howard
has turned over to Lieut. Koehler
all the quartermaster’s supplies.

Senator and Organization Re
publican, for Governorship. |
NEW YORK, July 24.—Colonel
Roosevelt today issued a statement
endorsing former State Senator Har
vey Hinman as governor of New
York. Hinman is an organization
Republican and did not follow the

defeat District Attorney Whitman for

fusal to join the Progressive party
and because of the fear that should
Whitman be elected governor and
make as clean a record in the office
as he has as district attorney of New
York county he would immediately
become presidential timber and thus
might be a rival of the colonel’s at
the next convention.
In the statement Roosevelt calls
Boss Barnes many names and makes
charges of graft and also denounces
the methods of the boss, who has for
many years been fighting Roosevelt.

mittee, when shown a copy of the
