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.

for Twenty-four Hours.
MYRTLE CREEK, Or., May 6. (Spe
cial.) C. M. Nodurft, engineer in the
logging camp of the Myrtle Lumber
Company, who accidentally shot himself
while hunting south of Myrtle Creek
yesterday afternoon, died at 2 q'clock this
morning. .
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.

sult of Arkansas Deal.
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.
