FAMILY JOYOUSLY MEETS HIM Sirdar, and Many Officials Go Up Nile to Welcome Him. COLONEL GROWS HOMESICK JLe Returns From Tear's 'Hunt In Fine Condition Silent About Politics Until He Reaches Home Hunt Successful. KHARTUM. March. 14. Looking the picture of health, witn physical fitness showing in every line, Theodore Roose velt came back today from the long trail on which he had spent nearly a year. Thousands gathered here to see him, descried from afar the familar form and the more familiar smile made bo to those who had never-before set eyes on him by the countless pictures recently published. Later there was a Joyous reunion of Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt and their children. Kerralt and Miss Ethel, in the north station of Khartum, where Mrs. Roosevelt and her daughter arrived about 5:30 o'clock In the evening. Soudan Meets Hunter. A launch carrying the representatives of the Governor-General of Anglo Egyptian Soudan and Major-General Sir Francis Reginald Wlngate, Sirdar of the Egyptian army, met the steamer Dal up the river. On the small Dal Colonel Roosevelt and the members of his party had voyaged for more than 1300 miles from Gondokoro in Uganda, where they embarked .February 28. It was a wearisome trip, for there was little to be-seen, and the latter part of the voyage was exceedingly uninteresting, the river sometimes be ing- a mile and a half wide, with mud flats on either side where crocodiles abound, arid toward the end Colonel Roosevelt displayed considerable anxi ety to be ashore. The White Nile was more placid to day than yesterday, when a heavy northwest gale stirred up trie water and threatened delay to the anxiously awaited steamer. The Sirdar's staff officers were taken aboard and when the steamer, with the American, British and Egyptian flags flying, arrived at Gordon's Tree, they were seen surrounding the ex-Presl- dent on the bridge. Colonel Roosevelt was attired in khaki uniform and wore X whiter helmet. Roosevelt Fit to "Hit Line." For several hours the Dal tied up opposite Gordon's Tree within sight of Khartum and during that time Colonel Roosevelt answered hundreds of tele grams and letters that had accumu lated here. All observers remarked his fitness and energy end among them were those who had noted in Colonel Roosevelt, when he left New Tork a year ago, the effects of the strain of a long and strenuous term in office. From these effects he la now completely recovered and although Ihe hardships of the wilds of Africa have ot reduced his flesh to any appreciable tfegree, he looks, to use Wis own words, able to "hit the line hard." Roosevelt Silent on Politics. The ex-President has refused to grant an interview or talk until he is in pos session of the fullest information on all points. Shortly after 4 o'clock this afternoon the steamer came slowly up to the palace dock, amid continuous volleys of cheers. Colonel Roosevelt was warmly greeted I by Major-Genesal Sir Rudolph Baron Blatln Pasha, inspector-general, and by : Major P. R. Pfcypps, the Sirdar'o private secretary. He and the other members of the party were conducted to the palace grounds, where the heads of various gov ernmental departments were introduced and tea was served. The Sirdar's palace ts situated in the center of six acres of. 1 beautiful gardens. It stands on the site of Gordon's palace, on the steps of which Gorddn was done to death. Happy Family Reunited. After tea the Colonel and his son crossed the river to the Khartum north ' station, where Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel arrived shortly afterward on an express. By arrangements made in ad vance, the meeting was in private and the reunited family remained within the palace car for some time, coming forth laughing and happy. They returned to gether to the Sirdar's palace. Mr. Roosevelt- spoke enthusiastically about his hunting trip, but he acknowl edged that he was a trifle homesick and was not sorry to return to civilization. The party secured an enormous bag of game in the Sudd district, where, Mr. Roosevelt says, they had not been troubled at all by mosquitoes, which Usually are an almost unbearable pest. Bag Includes Rare Beasts. The bag included nine white rhinoceros. which are exceptionally rare, and three giant elands. The elands were such fine (pecimens that the Colonel expressed Concluded, on P&gw. &-J CUDAHY TO LEAVE KANSAS CITY HOME PACKER OF KNIFING FAME WILL LIVE IX CHICAGO OR OMAHA. Still in Chicago Seeking Seclusion. Helper in Cutting Has Tried to See Him. CHICAGO, March 14. (Special.) John D. Cudahy, who has been in Chi cago since last Thursday in practical seclusion in an effort to escape notori ety following his knife attack on Jere Lillls, is said to have decided to Quit Kansas City and to make his future home lA either Chicago or Omaha. Mr. Cudahy has been at the home of Joy Morton, 23 Lake Shore Drive, with his brother 'Joseph," whose wife is the daughter of Mr. Morton. . Despite the reports that Cudahy had gone to the family Summer home in Mackinaw Island, it was disclosed by one of the Morton servants today that Cudahy and' his brother still , were guests at the house. A telephone call brought the information that the Kan sas City packer was there. "Mr. Cudahy. has no statement of any kind to make regarding his plans," the. voice of a man came over the tele phone. ,Earlier the man, who. said he was "Jack" Cudahy, answered the tele phone. ... TJow. long do you expect to remain in' Chicago?" he was asked. "Just as long as I care to stay," he answered. , It was learned during the day that Johann Moss, Cudahy's chauffeur, who assisted him in his attack on Lillis, has been in Chicago. He has made several efforts to get in communication with his employer. CANNY ANDY WEE BIT NEAR Bellboys TMnkit Him Aye Bashfu' AVI the Siller. SAN FRANCISCO, March 14. (Spe cial.) Bellboys at the St. Francis Ho tel are mourning over the failure of Andrew Carnegie to loosen his purse strings on his departure. It has been the custom for celebrities at this hotel to add a liberal sum to their bill and have the management dls tribute it among the servants, giving special attention to the bellboys who can do much to aid in making a guest comfortable. The Chinese Minister recently dis tributed $500 in this way. But Car negie did not do things in this lrge generous Oriental style. He added nothing to his regular bill, but -when his secretary was leaving the hotel he distributed new half-dollars among the bellboys, who were not slow to de clare that the Scotch philanthropist was very "near," despite his millions.

OFFICIALS DOUBT WALKOUT Another Conference May Be "Sought Between Parties. SITUATION NOW CRITICAL President of Brotherhood of Loco . tive Firemen and Englnemen Says Managers Have Made Light of Conditions. CHICAGO, March 14. At midnight tonight W. S. Carter, president of the brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Englnemen.. said that a strike of 25,000 firemen on practically all the Western railroads had been called. Mr. Carter said the decision to strike had been reached at a meeting of 43 members of the Western Federated Board of the Brotherhood, each member representing a Western road. The exact hour at which the men are to walk out, he said, would be de cided upon tomorrow and every mem ber of the union between Chicago and the Pacific Coast would be informed by telegraph when ' to quit work. The railroad managers said the dan ger point Is passed, but late tonight their views may have been changed. Another Conference Probable. It is thought that the managers' com mittee, headed by W. c. Nixon, gen eral manager of the St,. Louis & San Francisco Railroad, will invite Presi dent Carter and . his. committee to an other conference. The brotherhood has taken the posi tion that unless all the questions in dispute aresubmitted to arbitration un der the Erdman.Act, a strike on all" the systems between Chicago and the Paciflo Coast would be necessary. The railroads today reiterated their assertion ' that they would continue to refuse to submit to arbitration of any thing but the wage demand. Managers -Think Strike Impossible. "We know a strike 'will not be called," said O. L.- Dickeson, assistant to the president of the Chicago, Bur lington & Quincy. "That stage of the game is over. It is now only a ques tion of our getting together. The men will readily see that a strike would be preposterous." "The railroads are trying to make light of the situation," said President (Concluded on Page 2.)

DEEP INVESTIGATION PLEDGED Echoes-of Panama Canal Af , fair Are Heard. PAPER SAYS IT HAS PROOF Asserts All M. Dues' Operations as " Inspector of Religions Properties Were Tainted With Graft. Chartreuse Holdings 1 Cited. PARIS, March 14. Echoes of the Panama Canal scandal sounded today In the Dues Interpellation. A certain cypher list of persons who M. Duez al leges received hush money from him in the course of his embezzlement while inspector of the properties of the re llglous orders- promises to play a part similar to that of the check book of M. Thlerret, which compromised many politicians in the Panama Canal affair. None of these names has yet been made public, but the Journal asserts it possesses proof that all M Duez' operations were tainted with fraud and collusion. The paper says it can prove that establishments worth $400,001) were sold for 30,000, while some were leased for 30-year periods under private un derstandings by which M. Duez was to receive large rake-offs. Official Defends Himself. One of the officials named in connec tion with M- ' Duez took the tribune when the interpellation was resumed today to defend himself against certain insinuations that had been made. M. Millerand. Minister Of Public Works, Posts and Telegraphs, characterized- as fables the Tumors- that-he .had. received $180,000 in fees from Duez and that he had accepted $2000 in hush money. M. Barthou, Minister of Justice, de clared it was proposed to conceal noth lng. He then explained that Duez had been appointed on ' the urgent recom mendation of M. Imbert, and that Le Couturier and Menage, the other chief liquidators, had the indorsement of the Public Prosecutor at the formal sug gestion of the Chancery. Probe to Go Deep. "We Intend to probe this affair," he said, "and to ascertain whether there is any gangrene in our judicial organiza tion. If anybody is responsible, he will be punished, but it is not a party question." The speaker was interrupted by M. Delahaye. who shouted: "That was the HIMSELF, AND PORTRAIT OF HIS cry at the time of the Panama scandal." Minister. Barthou declared Parliament was equally responsible with the Gov ernment and then announced it was the purpose of the Government to ap peal from the Judgment in the liqui- ; datlon cases, wherever It was possible, saying that a circular containing in structions to this effect already had been dispatched to the Prosecutor.

(Special) R F. Shier, president of the Rlick Eagl Mining Company, who came down to this city from the mines last night, brought with him one of the most peculiar min eralozlcal formations ever discovered. It is a piece of chrysocolla. on which a per feet outline of Mount Hood is stamped with a metallic mixture of gold and cop per. Chrysocolla is a blue stone resemb ling turquoise, and the goldan outline of the mountain on the deep blue back ground is beautiful. Shier picked up the curiosity some time aeo and Bent it with a number of other specimens of chrysocolla found in the main tunnel of the Black Eagle mine to a Jeweler for polishing. The polishing disclosed the likeness of Mount Hood ' more fully and the Jeweler informed Shier that it was one of the most beau tiful stones he had ever seen and vouch safed the opinion that it was wortli at least KMC . , FANATICS LET WOMAN DIE Medical Attention Is Refused Young Mother by Holy Rollers.

People living near by had endear ored to get medical attention for Mrs. Green, but the woman's husband and other Rollers resisted, saying that HOST. only appeals direct to God would avail. ,The Ballard colony is in close fel lowship with that at Belllngham, which recently waited for the end of the world, letting a sick child die while they prayed and shouted.

GOVERNMENT WORK COSTLY Engineers Too Often Incompe tent, Says Railroad Man. WESTERN MEN ARE NEEDED President of Great Northern Rail way, "Who Has Purchased Orange Grove In Southern California, Talks of National Affairs. LOS ANGELES, Cat, March Spe cial.) The "railroad prince regentof the Northwest," Louis W. Hill, son of James J. Hill, has invaded the Southwest by purchasing an orange' grove at Redlands. With the end of his vacation nearly at hand and upon the eve of his return to the empire of huge endeavor, of which he is both a chief and a prophet. Mr. Hill today expressed some of his views on affairs of National moment. "The Government," he said, "is en gaged in the so-called reclamation wont which is costing a tremendpus amount of money. And the results are invariably small. Pinchot Fish Preserve Is Joke. "I know Mr. Pinchot very well, was with him on a three weeks' junketing trip once and had a good opportunity to find out what he doesn't know about for estry and kindred subjects In which ha was supposed to be an expert. "Not very long ago he broached a scheme for making a fish preserve ot the Pacific Coast waters. Think of the asslninity of that!" It is an Index of his impracticable ideas. Government Projects Costly. "The Government reclamation plans art with - few exceptions useless and in many Instances they are junk piles. WhPn the Government finishes a reclamation project it charges more for the land than do private concerns and twice as much for the water. "This Is because the reclamation offi cials are either crooks or incompetent. I recently came across a Government rec lamation engineer in Oregon who couldn't find his way five miles from his camp without getting lost, and this was over a country within his field of operations. Eastern Men Not Competent. "There is too much of this business ol having Eastern theorists put In charge of our big Western' enterprises. What, for instance, does James R. Garfield know about our problems," or Mr. Eliot, the ex-president of Harvard University? "The sort of man we want to solve our Western problems and to carry on our great work of reclamation are big West ern men. not New Englanders whose range of vision is limited, to their own little streams and valleys. "Out here we have millions of horse power going to waste in our streams. They can't comprehend this or sensibly suggest how it may be developed." "Are the Hill lines interested in Orien tal trade?" was asked. "Oriental trade? There is none. Why, you could put all the Oriental trade In one good sized ship. All the tea and silk that comes to us wouldn't very heavily burden an ordinary coasting vessel." CALHOUN WITHOUT VALET Democratic Manner of Minister Causes Comment in Bay City. SAN FRANCISCO. March 14. (Spe cial.) William J. Calhoun, the new Minister to China, caused much com ment at the St. Francis Hotel late last night when he arrived with his wife unattended, by valet or maid. Calhoun said he wouldn't know what to do with a valet and Mrs. Calhoun said they could get plenty of native servants when they reached Pekln. This democratic way of traveling presents a striking contrast to Minis ter Crane's arrival with over a dozen trunks, two maids and a' valet. Cal houn also presented a contrast to Crans in the fact that he quietly declared he couldn't talk about the open dcor or other diplomatic questions. He said, however, that American business men should visit foreign coun tries more than they do, in order to learn what is wanted, so that we can meet competition. NO CLEW STOLEN MILLET San Kranclsco lollce Puzzled by Sunday Daylight Theft. SAN FRANCISCO. March 14. Al though a vigorous search is being made by the police for the valuable paint ing by Jean Francois Millet. "The Shepherd and His Flock," which yester day was cut from its frame in the Golden Gate Park Memorial Museum, the detectives detailed on the case ad mit that they have no clew on which to work. They believe that the picture will be kept in concealment for a long time, possibly for years, before any attempt will be made to dispose of it and therefore but faint hope of Its recovery is entertained. flGHO j.
