 In speaking of his trip last night he said:

 "The trip was very beneficial to me- I was somewhat worn out from the work of the primary and I got a good rest also obtained a great deal of useful in- formation which will aid me materially in filling the office I met the most ex- perienced heads of police departments in the world, and was cordially received. Our reception by the New Orleans people was very cordial"
 Chief Wier will take charge of his office this morning as soon as he takes the oath of office, which will be administered by Chairman Parker. Captain Johnson will take charge of the day shift today and Lieutenant Hagood will have chrge of the night shift.

ROOSEVELT IN THE LAND OF BIG TREES For Second Time He is Isolated from Outside World PRESIDENT IS TIRED 0LT  He VIII Spend His Nights Sleeping In the Open Air Wrapped in
 Blankets-Expeotine a
 Pleasant Trip.
PRESIDENT IS TIRED oLT

Wawona, Cal, May 15.-President Roose- welt for the second time since he left Washington on his present trip is cut off from communication with the outside world. He Is camping in the big tree country and will remain secluded untii Monday morning. His special arrived at Raymond this morning, before the President had finished his breakfast A detachment of the Ninth cavalry, which Is stationed at Wawona, was at the sta ton to meet him and acted as an escort in the big tree country.
 As soon as the President had finished breakfast he left his car and. mounting the platform across the street, made short speech to the large crowd that had collected. He thanked the people for greeting him and mentioned the good time he expected to have during his four days stay in the Yosemite Valley. The President and his party then boarded stages and started on their forty-four miles ride to the big tree country, where the night was to be spent.
 Luncheon was eaten at Ahwahnee. An exciting incident occurred during the ride from Ahwahnee to the big tree grove. A small forest fire was raging close to the trail, causing a heavy pail of smoke to obscure the road The trail at this place runs along steep side of the mountain. The driver lashed the horses and the Pres ident was soon out of the fire zone.
 At about o'clock, when the party ar rived at Sequoia Grove, the President spent about two hours admiring the trees. He then mounted a horse and, with John Muir, naturalist and Guides Leonard and Leidigh who are members of the forest rangers, started for his camp.
 He will spend the night in the big tree grove, sleeping in the open air wrapped in blankets, The President is pretty well tired out after his strenuous programme in San Francisco and is looking forward with a great deal of pleasure to the quietude he expects to enjoy for the next two days.

SPENCER WHO WAS
 SLAIN IDENTIFIED
MAN KILLED IN RENcONTRE IN KANSAS CITY SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN ONE. WHO SWIM DLED FIRMS HERE.

George D. Spencer, who was killed Thursday night in a rencontre with Policeman Stephen Flanagan, in Kansas City, seems to have been identified as the same person who swindled Klotz & Gold man and Joe and Lee Slaughter out of suits of clothing about six months ago and escaped with the goods.
 He was then travelling with pal and to- gether they visited the clothing stores. The suits were made for them and deliv- cred c. O. D. to a number on Fouth ave- nue. When the boy carried the clothing to the house Spencer stepped into his room and told the boy to wait minute while he tried the clothes on. He took the suits, climbed out of window and disappeared. After a while the boy be- came suspicious and broke open the door. only to find man and clothing gone.

A Fatal Environment.

From the Springfield Republican.
 One by one the communistic societies established In the United States In the early years of the last century are dying out, the latest to disappear being the Harmony Society of Celibates at Econ- omy, Pa. whose lands have just been sold to a Pittsburg syndicate for about $2,5O0, CO., to be distributed among half a dozen surviving members and the heirs of dead members, if there are any, and there cer- tainly cannot be many in direct descent. Communism evidently is not a working principle, at least when applied in spots surrounded by a world devoted to the rule of private property, and when celibacy is added ultimate destruction is made cer- tain, whether communism Is practicable ar not

 An old and very popular country squire was succeeded in due course by young and somewhat bumptious nephew. One of the first acts of the young squire was to address a meeting of the villagers who were told that to get along with him they must invariably be ' polite, punctual and precise" The latter part of the injunction seems to have been taken to heart. for within a week the young squire having been left by his field while hunting came upon small boy in a bylane.

STEWART WAS A MINER.
Man Found Dead In the Woods Made
 Fight for Life.

It developed yesterday that Arthur Stewart, who was found dead between two saplings in the woods near Little ton Thursday morning, was a miner em- ployed at Llttleton. It now seems cer- tain that in some way he fell and was caught between the sapllngs and was unable to extricate himself before death came.
 The ground just under the toes of Stew arts feet was dug up as if he had made frantic efforts to free himself. There is still some mystery about how he got caught between the saplings, as he was just barely able to touch the ground with his feet. and not at all with his hands.

ENGLAND NEEDS
 COLONY TRADE Chamberlain Makes Speech on Free Trade Future ALL MUST STAND TOGE TIER He Says In Order to Preserve the Great Empire the Trade of the varl.
 ous Colonies Must Be
 Secured.
ALL MUST STAND TOGE TIER

London, May 15.-Addresslng his con- stituents at Birmingham, Colonial Sec retary Chamberlain tonight made speech which seems to foreshadow the direct raising of the question of free trade versus protection at the next general cleo ton.
 Mir. chamberlain's unusual reticence and absence from parliament and the political arena since he returned from South Afri- ca, have been the occasion of considerable comment, as has also the fact that he took no part in the heated discussions excited by MT Ritchie's budget and the remis- sion of the grain tax. In tonights pro- nouncement probably will be found an ex- planation of this attitude; it at least shows a variance of opinion with Premier Balfour's speech of today on the. aboli- ton of the grain duty.
 Must Stand Together.
 For him Mr. Chamberlain said local questions were comparatively unimpor- tant beside the great imperia1ist policy on which the fate of the empire depend ed, namely 'Whether we stand together one free nation against the world, or whether we shall fall into separate states, selfishly seeking their own interests and losing the advantages that unity alone can give"
 In a passing reference to home rule, MT. Chamberlain said that if separation began with home rule, the empire would dissolve into it's component atoms, but if he could believe that the opposition party frankly had abandoned home rule, he would be the first to sing, 'nunc di- mittis."
 Colonial Trade Necessary.
 The colonial secretary proceeded strong ly to urge the necessity in order to pre- serve the great empire, that the trade of the colonies should be secured. Canada had offered exceptional advantages, he said, which Great Britain did not dare to accept, because of the narrow inter- pretation of the doctrine of free trade, the policy of dictation and interference by foreign powers. MT. Chamberlain said he was justified by the belief that Great Britain was so welded to It's fiscal system that it could not defend its colonies. This was position not altogether intended by were alive today would agree to treaty of preference and reciprocity with the empires children.
 The speaker said he believed that an entirely wrong interpretation had been placed upon the doctrine of free trade, but that the country ought not to be bound by this, and 1t should not hesitate to resort to retaliation if necessary wher- ever the interests of the colonies and the home country were threatened.
