EXPLAINS TO ROOSEVELT
Tells Him Convention Wants No Of
ficial Dictation 'and Gets Am
icable Reply Removes Im
pression of Frictiqn.
HELENA, Mont.. June 15. (Special.)
United States Senator Thomas H. Carter,
who has Just returned from Washington,
in an interview today stated that the
stories of friction between President
Roosevelt and the movers in the publlo
land convention to be held, at Denver
next week were . absolutely Aithout
foundation. Mr. Carter today received a
telegram from Senator Teller asking him
to preside at the Denver convention and
ire will accept If he can reach that city
in time, leaving tomorrow morning. He
said:
Will Not Brook Dictation.
"Apparently an erroneous impression
concerning the attitude of President
Hoosevelt is abroad. The convention has
been called at the initiative of the Colo
rado Legislature. Some papers nave an
nounced that the President is determined
to send out two Cabinet officers and
numerous subordinates to take charge of
the convention and direct its work. I
have read such statements and, while in
"Washington, took occasion to tell the
President that in my opinion the meeting
of Western men would not passively sub
mit to direction and dictation by Federal
officials.
The President disclaimed any respon
sibility for the published reports and
specifically stated that Secretary Gar
field of the Interior Department and Sec
retary Wilson of the Agricultural De
partment and others would go to Denver
to answer any questions which might be
propounded and give such information as
they could concerning the administration
of the laws and proposed changes there
of. On this basis it was a pleasure to
assure the President that all gentlemen
representing the executive . department
would be most cordially received and
counselled with.
Not to Assail Roosevelt
"I do not understand the convention
Kill assemble with a view of assailing
the administration, but only for serious
conference and full and free considera
tion of the numerous proposals to amend
the existing laws. Iu my opinion the
people, dealing directly with the subject
matter In a practical way, can evolve
more rational conclusions than can those
dealing with the question in a theore
tical sense. I am hopeful the convention
will be productive of much good and no
injury."

appeared before court not as Mayor of
Ban Francisco, but as an ordinary clti
en and possessing no extraordinary
rights. In a counter affidavit which he
read, he denied the allegations of the
Mayor as to public matters requiring the
personal attention of the Mayor.
Mr. Langdon reminded the court that,
as the San Francisco charter provides
that "so long as the Mayor Is tem
porarily unable to perform his duties, a
member of the board shall be chosen
president pro tern to act as Mayor. It
was not necessary that Schmits should
perform any or the duties specified in his
affidavit.
In announcing his decision, Judge
Dunne said:
"It has been the invariable custom of
this court to order defendants into the
custody of the Sheriff after the convic
tion by a Jury.. Schmtts appears here,
not as the Major of San Francisco, but
precisely as any other convicted person.
No discretion in the disposition of his
person rests with the law and certainly
none rests with this, court The motion
Is denied.

Schmits sat without" the betrayal of
any emotion during these proceedings.
Judge rvunhe then called Sheriff O'Neill
before hlra and said:
"I want to advise you. and you ought
to know it without being told, that In
the custody of a defendant turned over
to you by this court you have no dis
cretion. He must by you be confined in
the County Jail at all times except on
orders made by this or a higher court
allowing bim at large in the custody of
yourself or a deputy."
"I understand that. The orders of this

JAPANESE OFFICIAL DEPLORES
SENSATIONAL TALK. '
Says His Countrymen Can Never
Forget America Opened Way for
Western Civilization.
NEW YORK, June 15, The Times to
morrow will say:
Relziero Wakatsukl, Japanese Vice
Minister to France, who Is in New Tork
on the way to London and Paris, talked
yesterday about the Japanese troubles in
San Francisco.
"Americans," said Mr. Wakatsukl,
"should remember three things: That no
citizen of Japan can forget that it was
America who opened up Japan to the
world and Western civilization; that there
are in both Japan and America sensation-mongers,
and that in Japan, as well
as In America, there are politicians out
of power who seise upon anything, how
ever Inconsequential, which may help to
discredit their political opponents.
"As a nation the Japanese have the
utmost confidence in the American peo
ple. They believe that they have the good
will of the people of the United States,
and they value it.
"While Japan as a nation considers the
San Francisco disturbances as purely local
outbreaks and small things, still she does
regret exceedingly that they happen so
often, and she hopes that they may stop.
They cannot do any good, and by being
worked up by politicians and sensational
newspapers at both ends of the line they
may do a great deal of harm to both
countries."

TOKIO, June 15. It has been learned
that Foreign Minister Viscount Hayashl.
at a conference on the American ques
tion, held yesterday, by the alder states
men and Ministers, announced that the
last Incident reported in connection with
the attacks upon Japanese residents in
California was not grave enough to war
rant diplomatic action.
The views of both governments are
fully In accord and the trust expressed
mat tne federal Government .at Wash
ington will furnish a speedy solution of
the question at issue.
WHAT SHOULD HE DO?
Kuppose the Republican Convention
Shoald" Put It Up" to Roosevelt.
New Tork World, Ind. Dem.
In his two speeches at the James
town Exposition Mr. Roosevelt advo
cated: A graduated Federal income tax;
A progressive Federal inheritance
tax on swollen fortunes, with "a maxi
mum of nearly 100 per cent for the
amount in excess of a specified sura";
The abolition of the law of con
tributory negligence, employers to be
made liable for all injuries sustained
by employes;
Rigid Federal control of Western
grazing lands In the publlo Interest;
Government ownership and control
of all public lands bearing coal, oil and
gas.
All these rauical 'measures had been
previously advocated by' the President,
either in speeches or in messages to
Congress. They now seem to have
taken their place among the great
economic policies that Mr. Roosevelt is
so determined to have vindicated by
the next Republican National conven
tion. But who la to vindicate them? Can
Mr. Roosevelt persuade the convention
to adopt his prgramm and leave him?
Will the delegates be more likely to
take the policies without Mr. Roose
velt than to take Mr. Roosevelt in
spite of the policies?
Representative James S. Sherman
says: "New Tork is for Roosevelt, the
country is for him, and in my Judg
ment he will be renominated and re
elected." Mr. Sherman's Judgment is
the Judgment of tens of thousands of
other men who know the temper and
feeling of Republican voters. Of none
of the "favorite sons" can it be said
that lie has made the slightest appeal
to popular enthusiasm and imagina
tion. What is to be the outcome of it all?
It an unbossed. untrammelled National
convention, believing that. Mr. Roose
velt's popularity and progressive radi
calism are the most valuable assets of
the Republican party, persists in re
nominating him, what can he do about
it? What should be do about it?
In spite of personal wishes, could
Theodore Roosevelt or any other man
refuse to accept an unsought-for nom
ination for President made by acclamation?

I need and must have. I was an officer
in the war of 1861-65; wounded and badly
crippled, and it is necessary that I have
a close attendant to go where I go and

COUNT BONI PLEADS
DOUBTS POWER OF COURT
Hadley Disputes Federal Jurisdic
tion Over 2 -Cent Rate.
KANSAS CITY, June 15. After ' four
hours' argument as to the jurisdiction of
the state courts or the Federal court.
Judge McPherson continued the hearing
till Monday afternoon on the petition of
the railroad for injunction against en
forcement of the two-cent rate law at
which time he promised to rende a fle
cision. In the meantime the railways
will continue to operate under the old
laws, ignoring the state Injunctions. '
During bis argument Supporting his
claim that the state court Bhould have
control of the case, Attorney-General
Hadley very plainly asserted that the
Federal Court had no Jurisdiction and
that the state courts should settle the
case. Judge McPherson smiled broadly
at the attorney's suggestion and hW(ed
that Mr. Hadley might be in contempt of
court. The matter, however, was dropped
with the mere suggestion from the court.
Mr. Hadley. continuing, said that he
could, for the state, if he chose, bring
a quo warranto proceeding to take away
the franchise of the railroads, and inti
mated, that the Federal Court would be
powerless to prevent him. The asser
tion of the Attorney-General was mad
In the course of his general argument
and with no show of a threat, but it
served to make the railway attorneys
turn their gaze upon him more closely. .

Count Boni .is playing an Important part
Perhaps It is needless to say that his
sympathy with the plan of reconciliation
has been assured.
There Is no question of his affection for
his children, whom he sees regularly twice
a week, while under the mother's care,
as he is authorized to do by the divorce
decree. ' Other considerations which might
be supposed to have influenced him might
be suggested, but they are not peculiar to
him alone, and in connection with a mat

have a preponderating Influence.

Spreckels, president of the Federal Sugar

National Sugar Refining Companies, and
that he offered to give the railroad com

the sugar company aa the railroad com
pany needed for the electrification of the
road in return for the same rates as his
competitors were getting, came out today
in the answer filed by the refining com
pany to the proceedings brought by the
railroad company to condemn the land.
According to the Federal Company, the
New York Central rejected the offer,
claiming that it was not discriminating
against the Federal Company.
The answer was filed with Counter
Clerk Leslie Sutherland at White Plains.
Now Mr. Spreckels demands 118,393.70 for
the land, which amount he says is the
difference between the amount his com
pany paid- for freight and the rates al
lowed to his competitors. ,
In return for this amount he says he
will deed the land over to the company.
The railroad company has offered 11330.

prevent the government offices of The

with the orange standard of the House

distinguished foreigners at the ancient
portals of the Binnehof, within the
walls of which is located the old castle
in which the sittings af the confer

pomp and glitter.
As upon the occasion Df the first
