The Colonel returned this morning from his Maryland tour, lie said he expected to remain In Oyster Bar week before starting on his Ohio cam pala-n. Harvester laaae Reviewed. Colonel Roosavelt's statement follows: "With Mr. Taffa personal opinion about me I have no concern, beyond pointing out the sufficiently obvious fact that he never discovered that was dangerous to the people until had been obliged to come to the con elusion that he waa useless to thi people. But his specific statements as to the trusts, the crookedness In se lectlng delegates and the Lorlmer In cldent. 1 shall once again answer, al though I have answered them specifi cally In Massachusetts. "Mr. Taft knew all the facts about the Harvester trust decision and he was present at a Cabinet meeting where they were discussed and at that Cabinet meeting and also In private conversation with me he repeatedly and emphatically approved the course taken. Just as he repeatedtv and em phatlcally approved the course taken as regards the Tennessee Iron fc Coal Company. "He waa absent from the country when Mr. Kmtth was reporting to me and consulting with Mr. Bonaparte, bat after hla return in January the matter came up again and It appeared that Mr. Bonaparte had not understood that my Judgment waa that the course advocated bv Mr. Smith was the proper one to follow. Taft aad ftaapartr Differ. "Accordingly the matter waa cone over at length In the Cabinet meeting. Mr. Bonaparte was the only member who waa Inclined to believe that the suit ehould be continued without re gard to Mr. Smith's Investigation. Mr. Taft emphatically took the opposite ground: and It Is utterly Impossible tlat he should now have forgotten that h did. as a member of my Cabi net, take the opposite ground. "Of rourM as a member of my Cab inet whom at that time I was supporting for the Presidency, he knew and could not avoid knowing everything of Im portance that went on. It la Impossl M to reconcile hla present position by anv standard of honorable conduct. "1 saw Mr. Perkins In regard to this matter precisely as I aaw Mr. Morgan at the time of the beginning of the Northern Securities Company suit, and as I saw representatives of the Stand ard Oil Trust again and again at th beginning of t-'ie Standard Oil suit. Just as In the rase of every large law suit I saw any party Interested who asked to appear before me; I believed then, and I believe now, that t tie course urged by Mr. Smith waa the only one to take. aekaacea aa te Trasta. ".Mr. Taft says I have changed mv mind about the anti-trust last. He well knows that the position ( take now Is precisely the position I took again and again In speeches and In meesagee to Congress while I was President, lie waa then In my Cabinet and repeatedly expressed his approval of what I thus said. "Mr. Taft says I have said that the anti-trust law ought to be repealed. Mr. Taft well knows that this is not trti I have always explicitly stated that It ought to be kept on the books and really enforced not merely nom inally enforced, aa has been done by Mr. Taft in the Standard Oil and American Tobacco Trust cases! against all trusts guilty of anti-social prac tices, but I have always said, and now say. that by Itself the anti-trust law will never solve the problem of deal ing with the great corporations, and that to control the great Industrial Interstate corporations we should have law akin to the present Interstate commerce law but without the mis chievous Interstate Commerce Court.

Mr. Taft knows well that I censured him. not for having thus continued the prosecu tion of the suits that I had begun, but because, after he hail gotten these de risions he permitted the Department of Justice so to shape matters that the result was a complete nullification of II the good results of his suit." Colonel Roosevelt refers to the pend ing Investigation of Juilg Archbald of he Commerce Court, and asserts tnat he Judge waa appointed to placate a Pennsylvania politician, although the appointee s alleged unfitness for the of fice had already been called to Ireel dent Taft'a attention.

May 5 El Kader Temple of the Mystic Shrlners arrived here this afternoon at 4 o'clocklS the Shrlners are proud. The Portland delegation Is made up of 155 members and will take part In all the many scheduled events.

Butt, as a sol dler. newspaper man. aide to Presi dents and Todge member, and his h role death on the Titanic were com memorated by his Commander-in-Chief, the President, the Secretary of War, a Senator of his native atate, a con temporary In the newspaper field, and the fraternity of Masonry at an 1m presslve memorial service here today. The tribute President Taft paid to hla late aide epitomized all that was said. "Everybody knew Archie as Archie. I cannot go to a box at a theater; I cannot turn around In my room I cannot go anywnere without expecting to see his smiling face or to hear hi cheerful voire In greeting. The life of the President la rather isolated, and those appointed to live with him come much closer to him than anyone else. The bond Is very close and It is dif ficult to speak on such an occasion Sacrifice Keynote of Character. 'Archie Butt's character was single, simple, straightforward and Incapable of Intrigue. -A clear sense of human ity lightened his life and those about him. L4f e was not for him a troubled problem. He waa a soldier and when he was appointed to serve under an other, to that other ho rendered im pllclt loyalty. I never knew a man who had ao much self-abnegation, much self-sacrifice aa Archie Butt. 'Occasions like the sinking of the Titanic frequently develop unforeseen traits In men. It makes them heroes when you don't expect It. But with Archie It was Just as natural for him to help those women as It was for htm to ask me to permit him to do some thing for someone or for me. 'He wss on the deck of the Titanic exactly what he waa everywhere. His death leaves a void with those who loved him. but the circumstances of his going are what we all would have had, and while tears fill the eyes and the voice is choked we are felicitated by the memory of what he was." President la Overcome. President Taft spoke with difficulty and he waa forced to an t.brupt end ing by a failure of voice a id a steady flow of tears. Beside Mrs. Taft sat Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Butt, of Augusta, Oa. Opposite them sat Secretary Wll son. Secretary Meyer and other prom lnent officials. .. Senator Bacon sat with the members of the Georgia delegation in Congress, and throughout the meeting place were statesmen, soldiers, friends of the dead officer. Temple lodge No. 32 of the Masonic fraternity was seated with the speakers. Senator Smith, of Georgia, who once employed Major Butt aa a Washington correspondent and knew him as man and bov, spoke freely of his associa tions. He said he could not fall to mention the splendid courage of an other Georgian, Jacques Futrelle, who lost his life on the Titanic, a fellow worker with Major Butt. Kdgar C. Snyder, a Washington newspaper man, spoke of .Major uuit s activity In the newspaper field and quoted a tribute written by Henry Watterson. a former employe of the President's aide. Carter B. Keene, mas ter of Major Butt's lodge, also spoke, Philander C. Johnson read a poem ded Icated to Major Butt.

Maryland's first Presidential primary election to morrow will decide the votes of the If delegates this state will send to tne National conventions. The Importance of the election la Increased by the fart that the law permits no divided delegation. A victory in Maryland will mean l delegates all in a block, bound to sup port the candidate for whom they are natructed until they "conscientiously believe he no longer has a chance of winning. While this feature of the in structions had been variously Inter preted, it Is conceded to hold the dele gates at least for the first ballot at the National conventions. The names of Theodore Roosevelt and President Taft appear on the Re publican ballot, while the Democrats have the privilege of voting for Speak er Clark. Governor Harmon or Gover nor Wilson. Active campaigns have been waged on behalf of all these can didates and to Judge from the claims of the opposing leaders none of them la likely to win by a wide margin. The election tomorrow will choose 12 delegatea to the state convention, representing the various counties and the legislative districts of Baltimore, and each county or district will bind its delegates to vote for a National delegation favorable to the Presiden tial candidate for whom surh county or district declarea Its preference. Vic tory, therefore, will depend on the coanty or district votes and not upon the popular preferential vote of the state as a whole. Prefessnr S. J. Holmtt. of the University of Wisconsin.

The knockout blow which Theodore Roosevelt received In the Massachusetts Presidential primaries Is likely to be emphasised by the recount of the votes now going on at the behest of the Taft managers In the state. It has been definitely established that about 18,000 ballots cast for Taft delegates at large in Massachusetts were declared invalid by the election officials because the voters voted for nine Instead of eight Taft candidates for delegate. "That the Taft victory will be con firmed morally by the recount and will more than likely be confirmed legally la no longer a matter of doubt.
