WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 2.—
(Special)—President Roosevelt has
set at rest all doubt as to his Inten
tions as to a third term. He said to
day:
“I will not deviate a single point
from my announcement not to be a
candidate for another nomination.”
This is the most positive statement
from him yet, and Is expected to ef
fectually head oft any movement to
renominate him. Many of his ar
dent supporters have accepted this as
the last word and will turn to other
possibilities. Others will likely con
tinue to boom the President In the
hope that an overwhelming call will
not be refused.

Secretary T. M. Lemly, of the Am
ericas Y. M. C. A., has returned'from
an attendance on the Thirty-sixth an
nual convention of the International
Young Men's Christian Association,
held at Washington City.
Mr. Lemly was delighted with what
he saw and heard and returned with
enthusiasm renewed In the work of
the association In all lines.
"We had over 2,000 delegates,'' said
Mr. Lemly yesterday. "The city of
Washington was fairly given over to
the delegates and visitors. At each
hotel at noon prayer meetings were
held, to which all the guests of the
hotel were Invited.
“The convention itself was grand
and uplifting. Visitors were there
from all parts of the world. Am
bassador James Bryce, of London,
was one of the speakers, as was also
Bryan, Dr. Parkhurst and Secretary
Strauss, of the Department of Com
merce and Labor.
“Bryan made a great hit with the
membership and won hosts of new
friends. It had been planned that he
should speak on Saturday afternoon
from the steps of the Treasury build
ing. but the Inclemency of the weather
drove the crowd to Convention Hall.
He was Introduced by Secretary Cor-
telyou, who referred to Mr. Bryan as
'my friend.’ Mr. Bryan said he was
proud of bis membership In the As
sociation. His theme was along the
line of 'Christianity the Cause of Our
National Greatness.' ”
“One thing especially gratifying to
me was that In so wide a field from
which the delegates came, centers of
higher criticism and agnosticism, not
a note was Struck by the speakers
which did not ring true to the aton
ing power of Christ, and tend to
place his name if possible on a more
stable plane. The Association Is
certainly not affected by the destruc-
tlve'work of the higher criticism, but
presents the cross of Christ in all of
Its purity and simplicity.
"Never before did I so thoroughly
appreciate the greatness of the work.
The Y. M. C. A. has been found suit
able for every line of activity in
which young men are engaged. In
railroad work it has the unqualified
endorsement of the managers of the
big systems. In the Army and Navy
Its value Is highly esteemed by the
Government.
"President Roosevelt gave us a re
ception at the White House. Only
those wearing the Y. M. C. A badge
could get In. He was very gracious.
We were kept moving by the secret
service men. I told him. I was from
the South, and he said something
about being 'delighted,' as I was hur
ried on.
“The convention was In every way
Inspiration and its good effects
will be carried over this and other
countries by the delegates and visi
tors."

JAMESTOWN EXPO
WILL CLOSE TODAY
Financially Big Show Was
Dismal Failure.
NORFOLK, VA., Nov. 29.—(Spe
cial)—With a final blaze of glory the
exposition will come to a close to
morrow. The gates will swing shut
at midnight tomorrow night, the
lights will go out and the Jamestown
ter-centennlal will pass Into his
tory. It Is rumored that Immediately
after Its closing the exposition com
pany will go Into the hands of a re
ceiver. Officials of the company de
clare that the assets exceed the lia
bilities and that all creditors—the
government being the largest—will
be paid la full. While the exposition
has been, to some extent, a social, ed
ucational and patriotic Buccess, It
has been a dismal failure financially.
While the people of Norfolk have
been proud of their big fair, most
of them are glad that it Is over and
that they can now return to ' their
former mode of life. Norfolk Is more
than a little weary of being on dress
parade.
Tomorrow -will be observed as
closing day. with a carnival as the
feature. It had been at first sugges
ted that the day be celebrated as
Tucker-Martin day, In honor of the
president and director general of the
exposition, following the custom of
previous expositions. The proposed
honor was declined by the officials.
