Members of Congress Arriving Not Eager to Pnblicly Express Their Views Many Politicians do not Bc lieve That Roosevelt's Personal In clinations Will be Given Serious Consideration by Republican Con vent ion- The .Demand .for. .Xom Years More of Roosevelt" has not Yet Reached the Proportions of a Party Ultimatum. (Special to The Messenger.) Washington, Nov. 30. Members of congress arriving in Washington for the session are loaded with, ideas as to the next presidential election, but not many of them care to give public expression to their views. Democrats are a little more inclined to talk, pos sibly because there is no danger of Democratic lese majeste, the Demo cratic party at the present: time being HDQ3LV without a ruler. V It is not to be, understood that any Republican member of congress would be hauled up on the carpet and asked to explain anything be might say abouti the presidential succession; but t- there are other ways in which a man ,-.yr pTfto talks too much can be , made - to feel the weight of official displeasure. The average congressman is more or lees of a timid soul, after all, no. matter how brave a front he may present to . his constituents, and he doesn't go hunting ways and means of displeasing his party chief j. ; If there was but one influential Repa bli can in the presidential race, the av erage Republican congressman would be for him, enthusiastically and voci ferously; but in the present circum stance he doesn't see the need of tak-; ing chances of . getting aboard the fnrong band wagon. Itf would be ec- barrassing to declare ior Taft, tor in- ' stance, and. then have to ask a favor of Speaker Cannon; ana it would be equally unpleasani to be committed to Fairbanks and have to seek some thing at the hands of Mr. Taft. Ail this is aside from the natural reluctance or congressmen to avow themselves either tor against the re nominatlon cf Mr. Iloosevelt. The president says, of course, that he does ' not wan t and would nt accept another nomination, dui a gooa many -wise politicians Believe "Mr. Roosevelt, per sonal inclinations wih not be given serious consideration when the next nominating convention meets. There is : now, in all parts cf thecountry, more or. less of .a . demand . for four years more of Roosevelt,'' but the demand has not yet reached the proportion of v a party ultimatum. It may do so dur ing the next year or it may die out. Until it does one ithing or the other, Republican congressmen are going to be pretty caraful how nsy talk ior publication. What they may say in private .conversation. 'is quite another natter." ' . 6ne of the mo.i, important Demo cratic outbursts of the ivetk is an in terview with Senator Ui?ackburn cf Kentucky, in waiih hd declared vuih out equivocation for the nomina'fon of Mr. Bryan, i Senator Blackburn doesn't make a practice of advertis ing his political views, but when ho does talk, . what he says is. worthy tf consideration. 11U declaration : for Bryan was couched in the folio vTg language:; .. --;h -J, .'..Vv.o "William Jenn'cga Biyan is ras?y the best rnai ava- "bniv for :ie Demo crats to nominate for president In 1908 ; Tb eodore Roosevelt and Willin m -Randolph Hearst were eliminated as presidential possibilities by the ver dict rendered, by New York voters on Nov. 6. when the enure Democratic ticket, except Hearst, was elected. . It matters not whom the Republicans nominate for president in 1908, the party must grip one horn of a serious dilemma. If they name a man of the Roosevelt calibre and ilk, there will be division in tfu ranK, and it they choose a reactioat.ry. .ciscontent will be a threatening factor. 1 desired to say . something ea r lier at the time by others that 1 thought -it wise to poswp ie eKprpssion of th -- own views. In my juagment, Mr. Bryan is the best man for the Dcrno1 crats to noaiinaoe for president- in 190??, notwithstanding1 hi t:ti:f cd reference to governm.-nt ownership cf jailroads.

In consider r ' ItiP' Mr TAt-cO r in Hire mirnHnii -ara must not lose sight of the important fact that he spoke only as a private citizen and in an unodficiaT capacity; this fact is accentuated Dy the greater fact that - the congress ' and not the president is the source " of our laws ; , and I am sure that no congress 'con trolled by Decocrats -will submit; to usurpation or : interference by its exe cutive '"chief."

Senator Patrick IL McCaiTeri, leader of. the Kings county democracy, who is to be given a hearing by a sub-committxe of the state democratic committee on charges of haying failed to properly support, the 'head of the state ticket in the recent election, "returned today from a western trip. - The committoe during the senator's absence from the city, met, but after a brief session, ad journed to await his return. Asked wh ether he had shortened his trip -be cause- cf the approaching hearing Sen aror McCarren said: "No, not a bit of it. I would, not have shortened my trip for forty such, trials." He added "I intend appearing before the commit ter if I am wanted and will employ counsel if necessary. I shall inform the state committee that th only of ficial action taken by the regular deni ocratic ; orgtnization of ; Kings county iregardlng Mr. y Hearst was the ratifi cation of the ticket nominated at the Buffalo convention. I shall insist on my rights as am American citizen to think as I please and to give expression to my thoughts." BX-HIRING RECORDS BROKEN. New Atlantic. City notel of Terra Cotta and Concrete Going up in Sections at the Rate of a Story a Week. Atlantic City, N. X, Nov. 28 A unique building record is being made in the erection of the new Hotel Tray more. The contractors are putting up a nine-story fireproof structure in phenominally short time, without in terfering with the business of the present hcjtel, which, still occupies one half of the site, for the new , building, and with eo little noise that its guests are, not disturbed. . ; v This feat is being accomplished by the use of reinforced concrete and hol low tile, and by dividing the building into two sections. The first section is now going up next to the present hotel : As soon as this section is fin ished the guests will be transferred from the original hotel, which will then be torn down and the second section erected on itisi site. . . Proress in. the work has been un usually rapid. Pile driving was begun cii September 15th, and since then the structural work has risen at Qe rate of one complete story m six working days. Half the construction force are carpenters for v making ,tiie concrete beams and columns. The floors are made with alternate sections of burnt tile and concrete. - Experts are great ly in favor cf this combination of re inforced concrete and "follow tile. The concrete allows greats rapidity of construction, economy, arid avoidance of -noise,' and the hollow tile ensures .that the structure wQI be as nearly unburnable as it is possibTe to make it, the tile floors and partitions serv 5ng as" barriers to prevent the spread of flames and smoke. .

DrMattoax, the ope- rator who was In charge of the block tslegraph station at Rangoon. Mattoax who disappeared after being relieved less than an. hour after the accident, has not been found, oespite the fact that railway detectives have scored the country around the wreck and his horns' at Sandy. Level, in Pittsylvania county, some forty mie3 from tne scene of the accident on a branch . of the Southern. ' An examination of the telegrapn late . today stated that the company was desirous, of apprehending Mattoax in order to secure a statement from him that might throw some light on what it was led him to allow two trains in the same block" at the same time. This official was not prepared to state ,-tJoday whether or not the com pany would take steps to prosecute the "missing operator and he did not think now if he could be prosecuted under the laws of Virginia. An examination o f the telegraph sheets kept at -the Rangoon and Law yers block offices discloses the fact that Mattoax allowed train number 33, the Jacksonville express in the block, tne train passing his station getting a clear track from him at 6.06 o'clock. The operator at Lawyers, the next sta tion ahead, claimed that Mattoax. did not ask him for a "clear track" for number 33 and he therefore did not know this train had passed Rangoon The block sheetJ at Lawyers bears out this claim. The sheets at both offices show that the operator at Rangoon asked the operator at jawjrers for a clear track for number 37, the vesti- buled limited and the lawyers oper ator, ' hot knowing number 33 was In the . block, gave number 37 the right of way at' C: 14 o'clock and number 37 passed Rangoon at that time. , Sim mered down, if Mattoax, at Rangoon, had reported train number 33. on the block at Lawyers, then there would TIIE VOTE OF THE STATE.
