QlV"S HAND SUSPECTED KMabllslmici.' Food Depots and lxur of Ih.-'o -le and Fuel Supplier by 'oernnient I Suggchted. LONDON, March . (Special.) In court circle there are reports of In terchanges between King George and Premier Asqultn owing to the Premier' failure to settle the coal strike. The Kins Is of an Impatient temperament and unable to appreciate the Irresis tible force of trade union organiza tion. Ho 1 bitterly surprised at the failure of the Cabinet's mediation and expresses amazement that Asqulth was unprepared with an alternative scheme for compulsory settlement. . Asqulth found It impossible to satisfy the King that the Cabinet had done its utmost, so Lloyd-George, In whom the King has great personal confidence, was sent to reassure him. For once the Chancellor' brilliant powers of, persuasion failed. Msg Would Call Opposition. The King oiugarestcd that an emer gency might arise In which he would be compelled to call to his councils tho leaders of the opposition and ask whether they were prepared to carry on the government and , deal with the present situation. - ' Lord Lansdowne wu sounded, but Bonar-Law Intimated that such a step In the present crisis must delay a set tlement Indefinitely and that It was the duty of the government to discbarge It responsibility In that connection. The King, greatly displeased, pro posed to Invite coal owners and the miners' representatives to Buckingham Palace, believing he could force them to accept the governments proposal. I nuanal C'onrae Postponed. Asqulth had great difficulty In per suading him that the failure of such an extraordinary expedient would have tha worst possible consequences. The King also wished to address a public appeal to owners and miners, but As qulth Induced him to defer this un usual proceeding until further efforts to bring" about a settlement have failed. So far as Tory leaders are concerned, there is nothing they dislike more than an Invitation to handle this thorny situation, although full of hope that when tho strike Is over they can di rect a damaging attack against the government and posaioly provoke crisis. King George displayed a masterful disposition toward the Ministers and Is believed to have been Instigated by the Queen, whose whole entourage Is Tory. The great bond between the King and the present Cabinet Is the reconciliation policy with Germany, which interest him more than any thing. Ireparatlons are being made to mini mize the serious consequences of a prolongation of the miners' strike. Lady MacLaren. a well-known authoress, suggests that a a first step the govern ment might prevent a further advance in price of coal by fixing a maximum selling price and Instructing every mu nicipality and county council immedl- Aretlc Trust Will Bo Heard From, He Says, if Both Men Reached tbe South Pole. NEW YORK. March . (Special.) Dr. Frederick A. Cook, an expert on Polar controversies, predicted today that what he called the "Arctic trust" will stir up a dispute In case word comes from Scott that he, too, haa found the South Pole. "But," said Dr. Cook, "I'm reody to throw up my hat for Amundsen, and If I find out later that Scott has also reached the Pole, I'll throw up my hat for him, too." The Brooklyn explorer thought he had detected In the news from London an attempt to belittle Amundsen by saying that Scott's discoveries would have greater scientific value. Inas much as the Englishman had more accurate scientific Instruments. Dr. Cook reasoned that Scott could not have reached the Pole first, a his out fit was heavy, while Amundsen traveled light, was accompanied by Norwegian ski runners and was an expert at han dling dog. Amundsen and Dr. Cook were to gether in 1897-99 and, according to the doctor, were the first white men to spend a Winter In tbe South Polar regions.

She is to make a lec ture tour of the United States and Can ada extending over six weeks. Her ladyship I consistent and mil itant Socialist. She makes a specialty of talking Socialism, but on this lec ture tour she will not deliver any ad dress exclusively devoted to the sub ject. " " . " ' Lady Warwick Is a suffragist but she was unsparing In her attacks upon the militants who have been rioting In London. She said that most of them were women seeking notoriety. "These women," she declared, "have hurt the' cause. They have set back that which they say they are working to accomplish." FIRE CLAIMS FIVE LIVES Harvester Company's Big Wurehonsc Bunts In Winnipeg.

FOLLOWERS DESERT COLONEL Defection Partly Offset by Ultra-Radical Gains. FIGURES ARE ANALYZED La Jr'oIIette and Cummins Booms Ap pear in Bad Way New York Herald Estimates Taff, 593; Roosevelt, 277. NEW YORK. March 9. (Special.) The New Y'ork Herald tomorrow will say: President Taft on the first ballot in the Chicago convention. That is indicated by a poll made by the Herald's representative in every state. Making generous allowances for the claims of all sides, striving in every instance to be. impartial and as analyt ical as possible, the poll gives the President 593 of the votes, as against 277 for Mr. Roosevelt. The Indications are that the President will have on the first ballot, providing conditions are the same In June as they appear to be now, 64 more than the necessary majority of 639. Avalanche Not Revealed. Inquiries by correspondents show a drift for Mr. Roosevelt In some sec tions, but reveal nothing like the "ava lanche of sentiment" which-it was pre dicted would develop as soon as Mr. Roosevelt came out in the open. They disclose a sincere determination on the part of the Republican leaders In all parts of ' the country, with few ex ceptions, to bring about the rcnoml natlon of Mr. Taft. In all quarters Mr. Roosevelt Is be ing attacked for his ultra-radicalism. as . voiced In his recent Columbus, O., speech. One-time Roosevelt followers have gone from him literally In droves, but partly to offset hia radical radi calism, which Includes the recall of Judges and judicial decisions in cer tain circumstances, he has won over to his standard many radicals who .hither to had stood aloof on tho ground that Mr. Roosevelt was not radical enough. It likewise attracted to his tent many of the one-time followers of Mr. La Follette. Taft Has Ninety Delegate. Up to date 92 delegates have been elected. All but two of them are for President Taft. Two are unlnstructed. In many states the situation is - so chaotic that the leaders themselves re fused to make any prediction. In New Jersey, for instance, the Republicans are split and the Issue there will be fought out at the primaries to be held on a date yet to be fixed by the Legis lature. Texas, with 40 delegates, is predicted in the Roosevelt column. In Ohio there is likely to be an almost equal division of 48- delegates. The Roose velt men have a splendidly equipped organization at work in the Buckeye State, and are plentifully supplied with money, in which respect they differ from the Taft men. In Pennsylvania, especially In the western part, there has ben a rapid growth of the Roosevelt movement. It is being pushed by trained politicians of the old Quay school, who see In Mr. Roosevelt the . medium through which they can deal a blow to the Boles Penrose machine.' T. R. Beblnd In New -York. In New York State the Roosevelt men have made slight headway. Tim- Wife of Millionaire WTio Obtained Divorce In Oregon Gets Writ on Unsecured Notes. LOS ANGELES, March 9. (Special.)

LAIDLAW'S VOICE IS DROWNED I. W. W. Members Also Derida British General. POLICE ARRIVE TOO LATE Yells of "Militia," Lawrence" and Ribald Exrecation Follow Boy Scout 'Party as Meeting Is Abandoned to Rioters. Long, sibilant hisses, wild groans and ribald jeers from a crowd of men representing the local headquarters of the Socialist and I. W. W. organiza tions, who packed the front seats at the meeting, under the auspices of the Board of Education, to be addressed In Gipsy Smith auditorium yesterday by General Sir Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, made it Impos sible for the speakers to be under stood and ended the gathering in a turmoil. At the close the Socialists hurried their own speakers to the platform. from which "militarism was de nounced in rabid terms. No policemen were present, and when called by telephone, they arrived after the Baden-Powell party had re tired. The police had been notified Fri day that trouble might develop at the meeting. It was Just at the very height of the meeting, while James E. West, of Washington. D. C. chief executive of the Boy Scout movement in America, was reading the Scout oath, that a party of lads, only too evidently in cited by those opposed to the meeting, rose and stalked out in a body, while the wooden building fairly echoed with the cheers and yells of the ser ried rows of Socialists. Laidlavr Also Victim. Even James Laidlaw. British Con sul, was not spared. His voice, raised to a high pitch to introduce Mr. West, was drowned in a sheer chorus of yells, catcalls, hisses and abuse. Even the Socialists themselves, the cause of the disorder, could not ob tain a hearing for their own speakers, and a recourse was had to boisterous singing of tho Socialist song, "The Red Flag." With quiet dignity Baden-Powell at tempted to Ignore the interruptions and addressed himself to the boys . in tha audience, but so persistent were his opponents that his address almost failed Its purpose. Yell Speed Speaker. It was in the midst of uproarious yells of "Militia," "Lawrence" and "Masschusetts" that the "B.-P." party left the building, while further hisses speeded their auto on its way. The uproar at the auditorium di rectly "followed up" the street dem onstrations of the Socialists Friday afternoon and yesterday morning when Baden-Powell and the Boy Scout movement were satirized and de. rided by ribald banners. Socialist speakers have been de; rfouncing the Boy-Scout movement on the street corners since -it was an nounced .that General Baden-Powell was to come to Portland. Friday afternoon they organized a parade as a demonstration against him and the movement of which he is the author. When it was found that hia arrival had been postponed until yes terday morning, they held their ban-
