4 TIIE 3IORXIXG OBEGOmy, : SATURDAY. MAY 7, IPIO. HDOSBIELT TALKS OF GENERAL PEACE Remarkable Address Is Made . - Before Royalty, Who Join in Loud Cheers. ... REVERENCE PAID BJORNSON "Whole Audience Stands as Speaker Pays Tribute to Dead Author. League of Peace Among- All Xations Is Advocated. CHRISTIANIA. May 6. Notwithstand ing an occasional weakness of the voice, Theodore Roosevelt made a deep impres sion on tho audience which gathered to day in the National Theater to hear his address on "International Peace" before the Nobel Prize Committee. It was de scribed by the members of the commit tee as the most notable assembly since the Nobel prize was founded. King Haakon and Queen Maud were present, as were all members of the Government, who occupied seats on the stage, and the entire Parliamentary body. Including Miss Rogstad, the first woman to be elected to the Norwegian Storthing. The overture at the opening of the ses sion was especially composed by the Royal bandmaster, Johann Halverson, who dedicated It to Mr. Roosevelt. The tlieme embodied the "Star Spangled Ban ner," Norse folk songs and melodies. The stage was covered with flowers andpnly the Stars and Stripes were visible. Before taking up the subject of his official address Mr. Roosevelt spoke of the late Bjornstjerne Bjornson. "I wish to pronounce a tribute,' he said, "to the great Norwegian who has iuKt died ' The whole house arose, and stood with bowed heads for a moment and Mr. Roosevelt continued "whose death leaves a gap in the literature of the whole world." He alluded to Bjornson as a man who had always stood for the right - as he conceived it to be. v . As Mr. Roosevelt proceeded " with his address the Norwegians commented upon tile similarity between the style of pub lic speaking of ex-President Roosevelt and Bjornson, remarking on the same favorite gesture with the clenched hand. The address was broken by abundant applause, in which the King joined. At Its conclusion the Queen stood and joined the audience in giving nine cheers for Roosevelt. The Colonel proposed three cheers for Norway and led the cheering, Ttut the house broke away and gave nine, following the Norwegian custom. The audience then sang the Nor wegian anthem and dispersed. The ex-President today gave Sculptor lgland a 4-minute sitting for a statue to be erected in Nortli Dakota. Colo nel Roosevelt wrote to Representative Louis B. Haiina, in charge of the mat ter, he did not believe in statues to living men, but added if his friends were going to have a statue he thought It ought to be typical of his early days in North rakota, either as a frontier farmer or a cowboy. The main thing was the right sort of a picture, whether St was a likeness- of him did not matter. Ir. Fridtjof Nansen, the explorer, paid a visit to Mr. Roosevelt today and recalled that he had told Mr. Roosevelt 30 or 12 years ago that If any Ameri can discovered the Pole he would pick Peary. The municipality of Christiania to night gave a dinner in honor of the ex-President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Colonel Roosevelt prefaced his lecture with a word of gratitude for the honor conferred upon him with the Nobel Peace Prize. The medal, he said, he should hand down to his descendants with pride. while the money part of the prize, h said, he felt would better serve the pur pose for which it was intended If it were used to promote peace in the industrial world. There is need, he said, to curb the jrreed and violence of part of the world of labor as there isi of part of the world of capital; to check a cruel and un healthy militarism in international rela tionships. The great end to be kept In view, said xne Loionei, is ngnieousness. Justice as between man and man, nation and na tion. Peace is generally good in itself. but it is never the highest good unless it comes as the handmaid of righteous' ness, and it is an evil thing if it serves merely as a mask for cowardice and sloth, or as an instrument to further the ends of despotism and anarchy. No. mi' is worth calling a man. he said, who w ill nit fight rather than submit to in tamy or see those that are dear to him kuner wrong. The pqace measures he advocated, said Colonel Roosevelt, were 'only such as he would wish to see. his own Nation at tempt, and were such as- he himself while at the head of this great Nation iiad tried to practice. Four things lie fn ion n tnut he aahl would tend to ad vance me cause or peace. First, treaties vr arbitration; second, further develop ment of The Hague tribunal; third .necking growth of armaments by Inter national agreement; fourth, a grea . jrau9 oc uoace or tne nations of th world. Arbitration treaties, said the Colonel, -ould be made to cover almost all guw tlons linble to arise between nations if iney are drawn with the explicit agree neni mat each contracting party will speet the other's territory and its- abso lute sovereignty within that territory and the equally explicit agreement that all other possible subjects of controversy will be submitted to arbitration. Such a. treaty, he held, would Insure peace Unless one party deliberately violated it. The stabllshmeiit of a sufficient number of these treaties would go a long way to forming a world opinion. As to the work of Th Hague tribunal. Colonel Roosevelt held up the Supreme Court of tho United States- as1 a model for the Court of Arbitral Justice, consti tuted et the second Hague conference. Tho methods adopted for securing peace and good relations between the various states offer valuable suggestions as to what should be striven for In securing a species of world federation for Interna tional peace and Justice. No one power ' could or should act by Itself, he said, in taking steps for check ing the growth of the -armaments of the nations, especially naval armaments, for It Is manifestly unjust that any power which really does believe In peace should place itself at the mercy of some rival which may have no such, belief. The groat powers, he thought, should find no insurmountable obstacle in reaching an agreement which should put an end to the increasing extravagance of expenditure on naval armaments. Possibly an agree ment limiting the size of ships, might be of use, he. thought. GOOD ROAD LAW SOUGHT Oregon Association Meets to Discuss Legislation. Active work to secure favorable leg islation for good roads in this slate was begun last night at a well-attended meeting of the Oregon Good Roads' Association In the Commercial Club. One of the Important matters discussed was that of securing a constitutional amendment which will permit ea-cn' county to Issue bonds for the con struction of roads. "With Dr. Andrew C. Smith presiding. on a vote, it was definitely decided to bring the matter before the people In November. If favorably acted upon, th bill allowing each county to bond Itself and thereby secure good roads will be taken . before the Legislature. According; to Judge Webster, who made an extended report to the Asso ciation, the majority of counties of the state desire this action, and will sup port such a bill. That the convict labor bill would pass this year, is also tne Deuet or Judge Webster. This would give the state an opportunity to assist the coun ties in the work of building more and better roads. It was decided to call a good roads convention during the Rose Festival, the exact date of which was not defi nitely decided. The convention will have prominent representatives from every county, and to them will be ex plained the work which, the association s doing. In addition to this, the mat ter of securing legislation favorable to the good roads movement will be taken up and thoroughly threshed out. John Beal, E. Henry Wemme, I)r- Andrew C. Smith, Judge Webster, and others Identified with, the work, spoke enthusiastically on the prospects for results soon to be secured. It was reported by Phil S. Bates that Morris O. Eldrldge, good roads expert of the United States Government, would be here shortly to give lectures throughout the state on the movement.

In passing along a steep .hillside, his feet slipped and, while falling, he threw his rifle from him. The weapon struck the hill with such force it discharged, the bullet striking the spinal vertebrae, glancing along the ribs and stopping just under the skin of the abdomen. A comranion. hunting nearby, answered his calls for help and endeavored to pack the wounded man on his- back, but, fail ing, left to summon help from the saw mill, a mile and a half distant. Nodurft, though mortally wounded and in terrible agony, the lower part of his body being paralyzed, secured his rifle and fired oc casional shots to attract attention and guide his rescuers. A force of men rushed to his "aid and packed him on a stretcher over the rough hills to the mill. Doctors were summoned from Myrtle Creek, Riddles, Canyonville and Roseburg, but they could do nothing beyond deaden the pain. Nodurft was well liked, of in dustrious habits and the only support of a father and mother, both of whom are over 70 years old. The funeral service will be conducted Friday by the I. O.-O.

VANCOUVER, Wash., May 6. Spe clal.) After trading, unsignt ana un seen," Vancouver property for a farm in Arkansas, Mr. and Mrs. James T. Mc Cann believe they have been bunched and have filed 6uit against "Will El Purdy and H. D. winters, who, they declare, fraudulently represented to them that the property was worth much more than it is. They sue for $3300 damages. The McCanns allege that the defend ants represented to them that SO acres of the land was in cultivation, had a good log house on it, aOO fruit trees set out. 40 acres of corn planted and 40 acres in hay. Being convinced by this glowing de scriptlon, they traded their Vancouver property for the farm, and then went to look at It. In making the trip they say they spent $500. They further allege that only ten acres of the 120 acres was cleared, there were no crops except one acre of corn, no rent coming in. no building on it, and only 200 inferior fruit trees. Had the place been as valuable as it was represented, it would have been worth S3S0O, so the plaintiffs sue for the difference, or $3300.

INSURGENTS FIRM 111 FIGHTING BILL Tactics of Regular Senators on Railroad Measure Do Not Swerve Them. CONFERENCE UNITES FORCE Clapp Contends They Are Trying to Give Taft What He AskedPur pose Is to Strengthen Bill Af ter Cutting Out Weak Spots. WASHINGTON', May 8. Insurgent Senators say they will not be swerved from their course on the railroad bill. no matter what tactics are pursued by the conservative Republicans. Announcement of this unyielding stand was made at the conclusion of an insurgent conference last night by Senator Cummins of Iowa. For three days the insurgents have been in session for a thorough consid eration of the political and Legislative situation. What will the effect be on your or ganization now that President Taft has made it clear he is depending upon he line-UD of regular Republicans to carry out his programme?" was asked. Senator Clapp hastened to answer. "He said- he wanted a railroad bill. didn't he? Well, that Is what we are trying to give him." Mr. Cummins added the progressives would continue to offer amendments they thought would improve the pro posed legislation. He said he was not ready to say whether he would uti mately vote for or against the railroad bill. 'If I think It contains legislation of benefit to shippers and the people gen erally, I -will vote for it, of course, even though It does not carry provisions I had thought should be carried. If It contains provisions which In my Judg- ent would weaken the regulation tne Federal ' Coverr -rient now exercises over railroads, why then I would vote against it. That Is all I can say." Rumors of serious differences of opinion in the progressive ranks were denied by several progressives. One of the reports circulated was that Sen ator La Follette opposed the offering of amendments to strengthen the. bill and Senators Cummins and Clapp in sisted it was their duty, after tearing down the work of the regulars which they .believed to Le objectionable, to exert their influence to construct leg islation to take the place of that stricken out. It is understood the insurgents will support the Dixcn amendment on long and short haul clauses, and the Cum mins substitute for sections IS, 14 and 15 relating to Federal regulation of the capitalization of railroads. Forty-five Senators, all from the con servative or "regular" wing of the membership, are said to have joined In the movement to formulate a new Ad ministration legislative programme. Two more are claimed positively. As utterly Impossible for the conser vatives to reach, the regulars have classed Beveridge, Bristow, Clapp, Cummins. Dolllver and La Follette. The men on whom the reg-ular Re publicans are still working, and who will receive the attention of President Taft, Include Bourne, Borah, Brown Burkett, Crawford, Dixon, Gamble and Nelson. All of these men ha- voted with the ii.urgents from time to time. They have refused, however, to be called insurgents, and have been found in the ranks of the regulars at least half of the time. It was reported yesterday, although no confirmation cot Id be obtained, that Senator Dixon would voto with the reg. ulars as soon as the long and short haul amendment to the railroad bill was disposed of. Senator TSorah, it was stated, would also join in the line-up for the Taft programme, provided he was given .assurance of support for his bill providing tor tne Issuance of $30,000,000 in certif.cates of indebted ness to provide money to complete rec lamation prole'-. Senators Bourne and Nelson, it is said, wTill be lound In the conservative ranks if the new legislative' pro gramme takes cognizance of certain measures favored by them. 4000 ATTEND REVIVAL EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS COX- TIXUE TO DRAW CROWDS. "Portland Xeeds to Wipe Out Sa loon and Other Evils," Says Rev. H. C. Hart in Address. Tho evangelistic meetings In Hawthorne Park Tabernacle yesterday afternoon and last night . were attended by Increased audiences, with fully 4000 in attendance. After an inspiring musical service, con ducted by Rev. A. S. Magann, Rev. H. C. Hart spoke for an hour last night on the Fullness of the Blessing," dwelling on the importance of feeling the divine touch. Continuing he said: "There was a great crowd at the altar last night, filling the front and. the side aisles. That great evangelist, S. B. Myers, declared there is nothing so Im portant as the fullness of the Holy Spirit. What is the -church without the power of the Holy Spirit?" - "The disciples were even doubters be fore Pentecost. The same condition ex ists in the church today. The preacher may be able and witty, but he is help less to point the way to sinners unless he is filled with the Holy Spirit. Every year there is an overflow of the Nile, and so there must be an overflow of the Holy Spirit. I am not here to fuss over hair splitting questions, but I want you to be sure you have the experience. Heaven is not bankrupt yet. That brother who at tends his lodge in preference to the prayer-meeting is not right. "Mark you, I am not striking at the lodge. Portland needs an old-time re vival to wipe out the saloon and other evils. The touch of the Divine Spirit will do it. The trouble with: the church is that It is afflicted with self-seekers. Some of the members ehout the roof off and then give a nickel to the support of the church. The church must wake up." An altar meeting followed the discourse, with a crowd at the altar. Today will finish the first week. There will be no meetings Saturday. Sunday will be made a great day. There will be the 3 P. M. meeting. At 6:30 P. M. all the young people's societies will hold a rally under the charge of Rev. E. Nelson Allen. Waterfront Road Wanted. MARSHFIETLD, Or.. May 6. (Special.)
