ROYALTY EXTEND GREETING Valleys North of Rome Can Teach Willamette Farmers Lessons in Mating Country Attractive Place to Ilve In. BY HECTOR M.VCPHBRSON. ROME. May 19. (Special Correspond ence.) One feature of our vlait to Genoa, especially worthy of mention is the city cemetery. It Is probably the most costly cemetery In the world, and Its special claim to renown con sists in one of the finest collections of modern sculpture I have ever seen. It Is surely a unique place for the encouragement of art. Wealthy fam ilies vie with each other in securing; the services of the most famous modern sculptors to create something worthy of note in the long galleries of master pieces which are to keep alive the names of wealthy Oenoese who have passed to their reward. But among all the famous works of the cemetery, stands one which has a peculiar claim to recognition. It Is of a country wo man who during her life saved $2800 selling vegetables. With her earnings she had her Image carved lfe size in marble, and a tomb made ready to re ceive her. The monument is known as the "Market Woman." It stands as the symbol of thrift, ambition and per severance a determination to win a place among the illustrious dead of her City, which has surely been realized. Kvrry Foot of Land In Use. Leaving Oenoa at 10 P. M.. May 10, the commission arrived at Rome at :30 Sunday morning. We saw noth ing of the country between Gen. and Rome until we looked out of the win dow about 5 o'clock Sunday morning, sleepy and fagged as we were, I found my colleague. Mr. Starkweather, with his nose flat against the pane studying ihe condition of the country through which we were passing. In the first place, it was borne in upon us that we of the beautiful Wil lamette Valley have much to learn from the valleys north of Rome in the art of making the country an attract ive place In which to live. Every foot of land appeared to be In use. and all in a high state of productivity. Even the rocky hillsides were clothed In grapevines and olive trees. No crevice which could afford a rooting place for tree or shrub was left barren. The highwaj's presented a hard, white sur face which ran like silver lace through the verdure which clothed the country side. Herds, large and small, of oxen and cows gave life to the Sunday morning landscupe: while their long bluish white bodies and high arching horns reminded us of the fact that here was a rural civilization which had its roots far back In antiquity. Here animals sre of the same strain as the milk white steer which grazed along "Cllt umnus" in the days when the "great house of Tiirquln" was struggling for Its rights. They are a hardy herd, and especially prized u draft ani mals, though the flesh Is Inferior, and hs dairy cattle they are of little ac count. This ancient strain Is preserved mainly In the middle provinces, ad jacent to Rome. Royalty Attend Reception. At the depot In Rome we were re ceived and formally welcomed by Pres ident Cappelli and other members of the International Institute of Agricul ture, together with representatives of the City of Rome. Mayor Nathan was to have been there also, but arrived too late, owing to a misunderstand ing as to the time of the arrival of our special train. Sunday afternoon at 6:30 we as sembled In the International Institute for the formal reception, which was attended by the King and Queen of Italy. Addresses of welcome were presented by the King's secretary and the president of the Institute, express ing the deepest interest which Italy. In common with all Europe, felt In our mission, and voicing the convio tlon that our visit would prove the beginning of a better understanding among all civilized nations. Representative Moss, of Indiana, re plied briefly, expressing our gratitude for the kindly and generous way In which we were received by His Maj esty and the Italian people. He con cluded by introducing President But terfield, of Massachusetts Agricultural t'ollege. who read and presented to the King a beautifully-embossed ad dress. It acknowledged the Indebted ness of our country and of the world to His Majesty In welcoming our dis tinguished cltixen. David Lubin. to Italy, and In making possible the re alization of his dream for a council of nations through the establishment of the International Institute of Agricul ture. After these formalities, each delegate was presented to their majesties in person, with the name of the state which he represente!. and all were ac- orded a hearty handshake by both King and Queen. It was probably the largest and most varied group of Ameri can citizens their majesties had ever re ceived at one time. Mayor Acts aa linlde. On Monday forenoon came onr first business session. Following this came a aerlea of three brilliant functions In honor of the commission. Most of the afternoon was occupied by a reception in the Capitol with Mayor Nathan as host. The Mrvot personally conducted the commission through the priceless treasures of art and antiquity which crown the I'.nt. lollne Hill. In all Rome, it would he um.eun. ig niio a guiue more entertaln ng and stimulating.

In fact. Free Masonry and Socialism, the twin devils of Catholicism, are largely responsible for Mayor Nathan's tenure of office. Following this reception, the Amerl can commission was conducted through the palace of the Princess Dona This palace, formerly open to the public, but now closed, was thrown open as a special treat to our party. Its collec tion of paintings, sculpture, and an tiquities Is very fine.

We elbowed each other round the brilliant banquet board, and spoke our good will In naltlng phrases, which served all too poorly to convey the mutual respect which arose spontaneously within us. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the great banquet, was the fact that we were all interested In the pro motion of the world's arrest hnslc in dustry, agriculture. To wind up the Eventful day. we were driven to the rrpartment of Foreign Anairs, where we were tendered a re ception by the minister. San Jlultano. We had certainly been royally en tertained. But a day so full of ex citement, had levied a heavy tax upon our energy, and when we returned to the hotel about midnight, we were ell thoroughly fagged. But In the meantime, we had made a start upon the real business whlca has brought us to Europe. JAPAN'S NOTE IS BEAD CABINET CONSIDERS PROBLEMS RISING FROM CONTROVERSY. Japanese Believed to Have Receded In Pact From Statement That Treaty Had Been Violated. WASHINGTON, June 6. Japan's lat est note In regard to the California land legislation, admittedly furnish ing problems calculated to tax the tal ents of the American negotiators, was read at the Sabtnet meeting today and later was the subject of a conference between President Wilson and John Bassett Moore, counsellor of the State Department. Consideration of the note by the Cab inet was deferred until the return of Secretary Bryan, who left early in the afternoon for Pittsburg to attend a farewell dinner in honor of the new Ambassador to Japan from the United States, George W. Guthrie. There was some discussion, however, after the long document had been read and President Wilson, as a result of his talk with Ambassador Chlnda yesterday, was able to Illuminate the formal arguments presented, with side lights disclosing internal political con ditions in Japan which are influencing the Japanese foreign office powerfully In the conduct of the negotiations. Press dispatches from Tokio outlin ing the contents of the Japanese note were received with great interest here. The assertion that the California law violates the spirit of the existing treaty by discriminating against the Japanese is looked upon as a slight retreat from the original broad state ment that the treaty has been directly violated.

SENATORS ARE RECALLED Michigan Man Says President's Own Arraignment or "Lobbies" Has in Itself Had Effect on Votes on Tariff. WASHINGTON. June 6. An unex pected turn was given to the "lobby" investigation today Aheii Senator Townsend. of Michigan, Recublican. declared on the stand that the in fluence wielded by President Wilson and the Democratic secret caucus on the making of the tariff bill constituted the "nearest approach to undue In fluence on members of Congress" that the investigating committee would be able to And. Senator Townsend criticised the com mittee for not having asked members of the Senate whether the President had sought to influence them and de clared that, even though the President had not intended it, his recent denun ciation of "lobbies" working in sup port of changes in the tariff would force certain Senators to vote against amendments they knew to be just. Senators Not Named. "Who are those Senators?" demand ed Senator Reed. "I don't care to name anyone," re turned Townsend. The two Democratic members of the committee present. Senators Reed and Walsh, Indignantly resented any inti mation that President Wilson had used patronage or threats to force anyone to support free sugar or fnse wool or to support tobacco as a whole. "I move," said Senator Walsh, "that In view of the serious statements made touching the Executive that any Sena tor who has testified already may be recalled and interrogated in reference thereto." "I am for that," said Senator Nelson, and members of the committee agreed. Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, also a Republican, following Senator Town send on the stand, expressed the opin ion that "executives had more influence on bills than all the persons who have come to Washington put together." President Influences Public. "The statement that the President put out In regard to an insidious lobby In fluenced the public mind." said Senator Weeks, "and that has its effect upon the Senators. The public believes the lobbyist Is a bad man and no Senator likes to oppose a measure if the Pres ident says the lobbyists are seeking to change It." Senator Shlvely, a Demo cratic member of the finance commit tee, said he knew of no lobbying in fluences at work on the tariff bill The Senate agreed to extend the time limit for the lobby investigation 20 days or until June 28. The new element injected into it today will probably carry the questioning of Senators over Into next week. Fea tures of the so-called lobbies on sugar, wool and metals and liquor, labor and other legislation must then be taken up as the second stage of the investi atlon. Senator Townsend's statements in re lation to President Wilson were not in the form of charges. He expressly said he did not charge the President with using improper methods, but he insisted that the charges that lobbies existed and the activity of the Presi dent In support of free wool and free sugar amounted to an "undue Influ ence," even though he did not use the "big stick" of patronage. 'Lobbyist" Newly Defined. "As the term 'lobbyist' is generally understood," he said, "and as I believe it was used by the President in his re cent statement on which the investiga tion was founded, it means one who tries to secure or prevent legislation by the use of means that are improper; by the offer or payment of money, the granting or withholding of favors; by insidious threats of political oppo sition; by the use of patronage or the division of political rewards. I know of po improper lobbyist of that kind. The nearest approach to tindue influ ence exerted upon members of Con gress I believe is the influence exer cised by the President and by the use of the party secret caucus," "Do you mean to say that Is lobby ing?" demanded Senator Reed. "A lobbyist is a man who attempts to influence legislation against the honest conviction, the conscience and the notions of duty of the Legislature," returned Senator Townsend. "Because of the Insinuation that a lobby exists to Influence them to vote for amend ments they believe In, I think some Senators will refrain from so voting. This is coercion." Idea "Rattier Popular. "Ton believe there is a species of lobbying from the Executive, as well as from the outside?" asked Senator Cummins. "Yes. sir. I have no doubt of it." re plied Senator Townsend. "I do not blame the Executive any more than any other. It aeems to be rather popu lar nowadays. "There are two sides to this question. The fact that a man is for protection Is not an evidence that he Is dishonest or because he is for free trade that he is honest. "Democratic leaders have been re ported as saying: 'This is to be a mat ter the President must decide, and In order to be a good Democrat and re ceive the proper amount of patronage, and not perhaps be opposed, you must support the party measure. " "Do you know any human being who can say. as a matter of fact, that Pres ident Wilson has either withheld or given appointments to affect the vote of any man In Congress?" demanded Senator Reed. "No. I don't. I know only what I have heard rumored and read In the papers." said S.enator Townsend. Own interests Not Affe-te. Senator Townsend said he had no substantial interests that might be af fected by the tariff and knew of no lobbies existing in Washington. Senator Weeks testified that he sev ered his connection with all his link ing and commercial concerns when he was elected to the Senate. He said three or four men called on him who might be called lobbyists. Among these were Thomas O. Marvin, secretary of the Home Market Club, and his brother, Wlnthrop L. Marvin, secretary of the National Wool Manufacturers' Associa tion. They were not promoting or op posing legislation, so he understood, but gathering Information for mem bers of the assembly who desired to receive it. Senator Shively testified that he had no personal knowledge of a lobby. Senator Cummins said the flooding of Senators with telegrams and let ters was the only practice he had ob- rROMINEXT PORTIAXD Sl'HANCE MAST DIES or south. Samuel T. Loekmied. The death of Samuel T. Lock wood, who for many years was a resident of Portland, occurred In Pasadena, Cal., on Tuesday last. Mr. Lockwood was born in Illinois in 1834 and came to Port land In 3 889. as general agent of the Northwestern Mutual Life In surance Company, with which company he had been connected almost continuously for a period of 40 years. Prior to his retire ment In 1805, when he moved to Southern California, he was ac tively engaged In business here and much interested In various cl"ic and charitable Institutions. He was a veteran of the Civil War and for a long period of time an elder of the First Pres byterian Church of Portland. A widow and three children survive him, the latter being S. P. Lockwood, the vice-president and general manager of the Co lumbia Life & Trust Company, of this city; E. H. Lockwood, a prominent realty dealer of Pasa dena, and Mrs. John Forsyth, of Los Angeles. served In Washington that wafs wrong and cost money. Senator Page, of Vermont, said his chief interest was in hide and calfskin trade and In fertilizer manufacturing. He had small lumber holdings. "I favored free hides and opposed free lumber In 1909." he said. The op erations of Indian attorneys in Wash ington In relation to claims and attor neys' contracts, he thought, came near being of a lobbying character. 'CURE' HELD VALUELESS CLINICAL ANALYSIS OF SEBCMl PATIENTS ISSUED. No Cases Treated by Frledmann Show Improvement, Is Report in Medical Record. NEW YORK, June 6. (Special.) The first clinical analysis of the conditions of any of the Frledmann patients treat ed In this country are published in to morrow's Medical Record. The results show that some are worse and that the disease was not checked in a single case. , The report is made by Dr. George Mannheimer and is detailed in respect to the nature of the patients' tubercu lar affliction, the symptoms subsequent to the Frledmann treatment and their present condition. The 18 patients whose cases are de scribed were the first to be treated here. Dr. Mannheimer regards the Frledmann treatment in their cases to be concluded. The clinic was held on March 6 and 8. Twelve of the cases were pulmonary and the rest surgical. Dr. Mannheimer summarizes the entire IS cases as fol lows: "In not a single one of these cases was there definite improvement to date attributable to the vaccine. In some the disease progressed unchecked. In no Instance did the temperature return to normal. Five of the 18 developed abscesses, four of them small and one or them large. I cannot determine whether the vaccine hastened the progress of the disease where it oc curred." DALLAS WILL CELEBRATE Elaborate Preparations Being Made ; for Fourth of July. DALLAS. Or..

IDEA NOT OFFICIAL McReynolds Plan Offered on Its Own Merits Only. POLICY IS NOT INVOLVED Administration "Neither Approves Nor Disapproves" Attorney. Gen eral's Sclieme for Whacking Trust Through Tariff. WASHINGTON, June 6. In view of the widespread Idea that Attorney General McReynolds' proposal for a graduated excise tax on the output of tobacco was the expression of a new policy on the part of the Wilson Admin istration to correct trust evils. White House officials today disclaimed that any general policy had been discussed or adopted. President Wilson and the Attorney General discussed the numerous re ports that had gone forth and later White House officials decided to explain Just what had taken place in the coun cils of the Administration in the to bacco industry thus far. Proposal Merely Suggestive. The proposition of the Attorney-Gen. eral was described as a "suggestion" offered on its merits for discussion, and bearing neither the approval nor dis approval of the Administration w"hen broached to the Senate finance commit tee for consideration as an amendment to the pending tariff bllL The White House version of the inci dents of the last two days called at tention first to the fact that Mr. Mc Reynolds proposed identically the same scheme when the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill was under discussion, and pointing to the Introduction at about the same time of a bill by Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, embodying similar ideas. The introduction by Mr. Hitchcock of practically the same measure yesterday was explained as having no connection with the suggestions made by the attorney-General to the Cabinet on Tues day. Plan JTot Yet formal. The Attorney-General urnrilitio- t ,i White House officials, was convinced by several prominent Independent to bacco manufacturers that their condi tion rn competition with the so-called tubaccj trust was steadily growing more nopeless because the decree or dering the dissolution of the trust had not brought genuine competition. Three manufacturer, told Mr. McReynolds that unless some remedy could be de vised their business would be de stroyed.
