Statement.
Berlin, May 10. Colonel Roosevelt
reached the railway station an hour
ahead of the Kaiser's Imperial guard,
sent as an honorary guard. Roosevelt
took a taxicab and was at the Am
erican embassy when the guards
reached the depot. The Kaiser was
angry at Baron Vonschoen, minister
of foreign affairs, owing to the mis
carriage of plans. On account of the
Kaiser's mourning for the death of
his uncle. King Edward, Roosevelt
and the Kaiser will meet only Inform,
ally from time to time. They lunched
together at the Potsdam palace to
day and the Kaiser was most cordial.
Sensation n Norway.
. Christiana, May 10. Mr,- Roose
velt's visit here has ben followed by
an Incident which Is making a sensa
tion In Norway.
Mr. Roosevelt severely censured
ex-Premlcr Gunnar Knudsen, who
Is now vice president of the par
liament, for using his name and quot
ing him as a partisan in Norwegian
politics. The ex-premier has been
making a campaign and Introduced
bill in parliament for the conser
vation of natural resources, chiefly
the water power and the opposition
party has been fighting this scheme
as an infringement on personal rights.
At the recent gala dinner at the
castle, Mr. Knudsen had a conversa
tion with Mr. Roosevelt on this sub
ject The latter In the belief that he
was speaking of general principles,
expressed warm sympathy In the
work. Mr. Knudsen asked permission
to make the ' former president's re
marks public.
"Tell It to anyone you like," Mr.
Roosevelt replied enthusiastically?.
There was a considerable stir when
the newspapers appeared quoting Mr.
Roosevelt as a warm supporter of
Knudsen's policies. Mr. Roosevelt
summoned Knudsen and Insisted em
phatically that he Issue a denial and
he himself issued a letter to the same
effect. The oposltlon papers are now
attacking the ex-premler.
The Aftenposten says:
"From the denial which Mr. Gun
nar Knudsen was compelled by Mr.
Roosevelt to make It appears that at
the conversation In question Mr.
Roosevelt was thinking of his own
American policy, while Mr. Knudsen
was spenklng of his Norwegian pol
icy. We will, not dwell upon the want
of discretion shown by Mr. Knudsen
In trying to Involve a guest of the na
tion In our Internal political disputes
and trying to turn him to political
account. .
This want of discretion rightly
aroused a great Indignation. It is an
absolutely unprecedented phenomen
on that a man holding a position like
Theodore Roosevelt does, should dur
ing the visit he pays us be compelled
to Issue a denial of what the late pre
mier stated regarding his conversa
tion with him. v
Roosevelt for Representative.
Passaic, N. J., May 10. President
Taft, in. all probability, will designate
Theodore Roosevelt as a special am
bassador to " represent the United
States at the funeral of King Edward.
He said last night he would take the
matter up with Secretary Knox when
he returns to Washington,
President Taft said he was anxi
ous to appoint Colonel Roosevelt to
represent this government. As yet he
had taken no step In that direction,
however, as up to the time he -left
Washington yesterday morning no, of
ficial notification had been received
GOLD HOARD COULDN'T

sions for fifty years. The ves
sel left supplies to last them for
six months,
i
by the Washington government as to
the date of the funeral. 1
President Taft Is not conversant
with the precedents as to such occa
sions, but if a special representative
Is called for by the proprieties and
Mr, Roosevelt will accept the desig
nation, he will be named by the pres
ident. Secretary Knox will be con
sulted In the- matter.

President In Letter Says He Believes

ard Peace Is Strong for Interna
tional Peace and Arbitration Bry
an Expresses Hope That Coiigrex
Will Endorse His Proposition of Ar
bitration Tribunal.
Hartford, Conn., May 10. Much en
thusiasm was Injected into last night's
session of the New England arbitra
tion and peace congress by the read
ing of letters from President Taft and
others, containing expressions of their
sentiments . toward the peace move
ment... The letter from, President Taft
was as follows
"My Dear Mr. Call: I have' your
letter of April 22 and am glad to know
that the New England abritratlon and
peace congress is to- hold an import
ant meeting from May 8 to 11.
"I have on more than one occasion
expressed myself "as being In favor, of
international peace and in favor of
arbitration and I also dwelt on the
subject In my inaugural address. That
does not mean, however, that I am in
favor of a country giving up thai
which we now use for the purpose of
securing peace, to-wlt: our army and
navy because I believe that the ex
pense of armament is working to
ward peace.
"I earnestly hope that your meeting
will be productive of much good In
the , promotion of permanent peace,
and I wish you every success In your
efforts In this direction.
"Sincerely yours,
"WILLIAM H. TAFT."
"Should a permanent tribunal of
arbitration be organized and be per
manently in session at the Hague, a
great step would be taken for the set
tlement of International differences,"
read a portion of Secretary Knox's
letter of regret.
William J. Btyan sent a letter ex
pressing regret at being unable to at-,
tend. In addition Mr. Bryan said:
"I hope that your meting will en
dorse a proposition which I introduced
at the London conference rour years
ngo and which was afterwards en
dorsed by the New York peace con
ference. It is a declaration that all
questions in dispute between nations
should be submitted to ,an impartial
International tribunal for Investiga
tion and report before any declara
tion of war or commencement of hos
tilities. This leaves the party to act
Independently after the report, but If
we can secure time for investigation
and report on the facts, a peaceful
settlement of the difficulty Is almost
certain."

EGG TAPE WORM
The egg tapeworm Is the latest par-
aslticoi discovery, according to a let
ter Just received by Major Lee Moor-
house from a niece who Is an egg
candler in a packing plant at Brng
hampton, New York. As this young
lady has discovered three of these
diminutive animals In as many dif
ferent eggs during the past few
months It would seem that those who
nre accustomed to taking their eggs
raw had better be sure that they are
fresh from good healthy Oregon hens.
The young lndy states In her letter
thnt during the past winter she found
something that looked like a tape
worm In an efeg. As it was a curi
osity at the plant the manager took
the animal to his physician who pro
nounced it a parasite and a""specie of
the tapeworm. .
Last week she ran across another
one and the steward of the state hos
pital being In the store, he took it
up to the chemist of the Institution
for a minute examination and classi
fication. On the day the letter was
HOUSE PASSES
RAILROAD BILL
By Vote of 200 to .126 Lower
House Adopts Regulation
Measure,
AMENDMENTS PROPOSED
L AT LAST MINUTE LOST
By Substantial Vote, Hard Fought
Measure Is Passed Although Bear
ing Little Resemblance to Original
Amendment to Alter Certain
C'luiisctt Are Defeated President
Taft is Satisfied With Measure
Says Remedial Features Are SOU
Held.
Washington, ' May 10. The house
thU afternoon adopted the railroad
regulation bill by a vote of 200 to 126.
Representative Mann of Illinois, of
fered an amendment reestablishing the
clause permitting railroads to merge
under certain conditions, but it was
defeated 168 to 160. Adamson moved
to recommit the bill with Instructions
to eliminate the court of commerce
clause, but it likewise was defeated.
Washington, May 10. The admin
istration railroad bill was oday re
ported from the house, as a commit
tee of the whole, for a final vote.
This marks the beginning of the end
of the fight on the measure in the
house. Leaders declare It Is likely
only a few changes in the bill's form
as reported today, will be made. Only
the battered remains of the original
was left when Jt was reported for
votes. President Taft seemed satis
fled. He said: "I am not familiar
with the condition of the bill in the
house as in the senate, but I think
possibly the bill hasn't been emascu
lated In either house, and that it con
tains all of the remedial features of
the 'original, and that the things omit
ted are neither substantial nor vital."
The sharpest skirmish' Is likely to
come up In the final stages of the
fight over the long and short haul
clause. The clause provides that the
railroad must not charge more for a
short haul than for a long one, over
the same line. The adminlstrationists
do not favor this amendment. Taft's
speech at Passaic last night when he
gave his virtual approval of the
hacked bill Is being quoted by the In
surgents as a presidential endorse
ment of their action.
President's Speech.
Passic, N. J., May 10. In a speech
before the Passic board of trade here
last night, President Taft declared
with a great deal of emphasis and
amidst an outburst of applause that
the railroad bill has not been emas
culated in any vital way and predict
ed that a satisfactory law would be
passed.
"The bill." said the president, "still
retains its imnortant features and I
am hopeful that within the next two
weeks we shall see the passage of the
bill in both houses, the adjustment of
the differences between the two hous
es nnd its final enactment."
In a review of the pending legisla
tion. Mr. Taft expressed the belief
that the following measures would be
enacted Into law:
Statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico.
Postal savings banks.
Anti-injunction. .
The so-called validating bill of the
conservation measures.
The publicity of campaign- expen
ditures. The railroad bill.

She says the worms are about an

The work of candling eggs, accord

young lady's letters. Is as simple as
it is Interesting. An electric light Is
dropped Into a tin tube containing a
hole in one side about the size of the
eggs before which the egg Is passed
In its process of candling. If the egg
appears clear and the air space Is
small, the egg is somewhere near
fresh but If it appears black or
cloudy, In all probability the hen fruit
Is somewhat ancient. Between the
two extremes there are a great many
different grades and the good egg In

In
His Church.
Lisbon, Portugal. Hearing strange
noises in the night, the priest in charge

packing all the gold and silver orna

KINGLY ADVICE

Country getting back 1
to normal conditions
In Official Letter Asks bat People Re
turn to Daily Occupation Until
Day of Funeral King and Queen
of Norway View Dead Ruler
George May Not Have to Shoulder
Responsibilities Immediately. . ,
London, May 10 The country Is now
beginning to resume its normal life,
the king's earnest desire being that
except on the day of the funeral of
King Edward VII., which is fixed for
May 20, the national mourning shall
Inflict no sacrifices upon the people.
Premier Asquith and Reginald Mc
Kenna, first lord of the admiralty,
arrived in London last night. Other
members of the cabinet and officials
holding important positions under the
government, are hastening to the cap
ital, King Haakon and Queen Maud
of Norway were met at the station
last night by King George and Queen
Mary, and young Prince Olaf threw
his arms around his uncle's neck. The
party drove Immediately to Bucking
ham palace, where they viewed the
body of the late king. A brief reli
gious service, was held in the chapel.
King George in a letter to the the
atrical managers expressed the wish
that the theaters reopen until the day
of the funeral, on account of the
number of people that would be
thrown out of work by the closing of
the houses. Th's plan will be carried
out.
The king issued another letter In
which he said:
"Knowing so well the feelings of my
beloved father. I am sure it would be
contrary to his wishes that there,
should be any interruption to the en
joyment of the public during the
Whitsuntide holiday. I therefore hop
the general mourning will not pre
vent my people from taking the usual
advantage of the various opportuni
ties afforded them for the coming;
days."
Whether at the very outset of his
reign and while still suffering from
the shock of breavement, King George
should be compelled to shoulder the
heavy responsibilities of deciding
between the opposing political parties
on the vexed question of the veto of
the house of lords, is a matter which
Premier Asquith must now decide.
All the ministry are again as
sembled in London, and there was a
strong feeling among the moderate
men in favor of shelving the whole
question until next year. -
The new king was an assidioua at
tendant upon the recent parliamen
tary debates and doubtless Is thor
oughly versed in all the aspects of the.
question, but he would never have
anticipated that he would be called
upon to give the decision. In any
case it .is expected that the parliamen
tary recess will be extended until the
middle of June.
