PRESIDENT'S ORDERS TO OFFICE HOLDERS Mr. Hitchcock Ass't Postmaster General Receives Instruc tions From Mr. Roosevelt to Stop the Third Term Movement Amoog Federal Pie-Consumers WANTS NO DELEGATES WHO FJIV0R3RD TERM The Movement Said to Have Had Its Impetus a Few Days Ago in a Pull man Car Carrying Hitchcock and Some Tennessee Republican Lead ers, is Summarily Nipped in the Hud By the President The South Must Not KIcct Federal Ollice Holders As Delegates to National (Convention Favoring a Third Term for the President The Or der Does Not Mean, However, That Federal Office ''Holders-. Can Not Be Chosen As 'Delegates and (Jo "I'ninstrneted'VSo Some Tliird Ternicrs Will CJet Through All the . Same. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington, Nov. 20. President Roosevelt has instructed First As sistant Postmaster Coneral Frank II. Hitchcock not to permit any fed eral office-holder of the . southern states to go to the republican na tional convention next summer un der instructions for, or otherwise fa voring, the nomination of the presi dent for a third term. .This fact, which came to light to day, is by far tho most Interesting piece of republican political news to he developed in tho last several ninnthu ft will l.a lllj-ali. In ttllfft away the breath of the antl-adminls- tratlonelement which has been ex ploiting tne alleged efforts or tne Ihe southern republblcan organiza tion for a renominationj and, when lis breath Is recovered, it will be put to harder guessing than ever as to the" political game the executive is playing. While keeping pretty much all the factions among the politicians on the anxious seat most of the time, and letting it be understood that the policy of the administration is not to cross bridges until they actually are reached, the president now and then shoots in a chip that adds to the gaiety of the game. The instruc tions to Mr. Hitchcock form one of those now-and-then incidents. All the time, however, the executive keeps to ah enigmatical, silence un der the entreaties that he cortsent to place himself in the hands of the people,' on the one hand, and under the demands that he forcibly reiter ate his declaration of election night, 1904, on tho other. A liar Is Left Down. The president has issued no ukase -as the one having the power of ap pointment and removal over federal office-holders forbidding the minor officials of the government from par ticipating in the conventions of their party. All that he has done, accord ing to the best of information, is to ' i . , 1 i .' L 4 L n t . . .. insist unit muse who unc mm jiu- Bitions to him shall not allow such personal allegiance to be turned into a movement bearing the stamp of a desire or demand to continue his occupancy of tho white house. II is understood that the president does not regard participation in party conventions as offensive par tisanship. Apparently he believes that an office-holder has as much , right to attend a national conven tion as anyone else, and so will not assume to dictate who shall and who - vhall not stand for election as dele gates. When all' this becomes fully apparent It. may be realized that the puissance of the office-holding con tingent in the south where the re publican organization Is controlled ,so largely by It, will not be dimin ished by the injunction regarding third term instructions or favor. InhlhiHiie tho third term nctlvltv on the part of office-holders, some politicians will be sure to note, the president has not Bald anything as to what private citizens may do. Ro Bult: more guessing and more alle gations' of deep laid schemes in certain quarters. The actual effect, however, to change the breath-exaustlng meta phor, may be to take the wind out of the sails of the reactionaries who have bullded so strongly on Involv ing the president In a plot to organ ize his forces for a renominatlon. The executive Injunction may at- feet materially the Tennessee, repub lican state convention which is to be held early in January, and which has been advertised to fife the first, big third-term , '.gun' in the form of a unanimous Roosevelt indorsement and instructed delegation.

There is no intention of j withdrawing from circulation currency issued in exchange for the! the certificates. To Hring the Money South' and West. In the cases of New York banks It is not - probable that much of the .purchase -.money -will be left on do posit here or re-deposlted here. As was stated in the official announce ment from Washington the greatest need for currency is felt to be in the financial centers of the crop dis tricts, and very likely most of the $25,000,000 or more paid by Now York banks for the certificates Will be deposited in the west and south west rather than here. It is the un derstanding, however, that practi cally all of the $100,000,000 which will be paid in case Ihe entire issue is subscribed will be deposited in banks throughout the country. There Is no intention, in other words, of withdrawing from circulation the mony paid for the certificates. The deposits of money paid for the certificates must, of course, be secured by national banks In the snme way as other government de posits are secured. It is around this provision, strangely enough that much of the confusion in the finan cial world regarding the certificates centered. The procedure is simple enough. Banks will give as security for these deposits the same class of security that is municipal, railroad and other bonds approved by the treasury department that they have been giving as security for other de posits. The strange and entirely er roneous idea prevails in some quar ters yesterday that the certificates would themselves secure the deposit of purchase money paid for I hem. Some of the Piirc'hiiscrs. Among the banks of this city which will take $5,000,000 or more of the securities are those which have as sisted Secretary Cortclyou materially in every slep he litis taken for Ihe reiie! oi money, coauiuons siuco uie situation became acute.

(By l.en.-ed Wire to The Times.) .AVas'hi.'.igton, Xov. 20. The second dtiy's ordeal of Mrs. Annie M. Brad ley on the witness stand found a deep current of sympathy for her pervading the court room. It was indeed a pitiable sight. Oc casional sobs attest the emotion of the woman, as letter after letter from Senator Brown was presented to her and identified by her. A tense feeling prevailed. The tragic moment has arrived and she will tell in her own words just what occurred in that Raleigh Hotel room on December MM last. In the court room are women, wo men everywhere. Seats are at a premium', and even the press repre sentatives are asked for credentials before they are admitted. Mrs. Mary E, Aladisou, her mother, Is in court, as is .Max Brown, to hear the story from the lips of one who alone knows all the details of his father's death. The frail little prisoner is feeling badly this morning. Her voice has almost left her and her eyes blind with tears constantly. '"Cottle," the youngest Brown boy, has recovered from his Illness and is once more able to , comfort his mother with his baby prattle. The jury is nervous and awaits with Ill-suppressed eagerness the hour when Airs. Bradley tells of her desperate deed. Airs. Bradley then detailed her ill ness and suffering on December 1st, just eight days before the tragedy, stating that she was very ill both mentally and physically. Judge Powers, as he neared the day of the tragedy, grew, very deliberate in his questions and almost uncon sciously brought''' Mrs..-' Bradley up to the time when she reached Ogden on the way to Los Angeles and turned back Instead to Washington. She told of exchanging the ticket and begin ning the journey back to Washington, where she knew that the senator had preceded her. "Do you know, Mrs. Bradley, why you changed your purposes when you reached Ogden; why you started back to Washington? With a peculiar little catch in her voice and with a tone pathetic in the extreme she said: "I suppose the Impulse seized me, judge, w hen T neared Ogden and real- eized that it was the starting point." ' Then- she told In the same sad strain. nt the inconveniences of the journey, i T' :Mn Gained for a day by a wreck :iit mime pu nt in Wyoming, of sleep- j ,Klllrs nnd rtu.9 ays, eJ Idtawlng her nearer and nearer to the moment--when she came upon Brown in Ihe Ualelgli Hotel and shot him.
