True Greatness.

How sad that all great things are sad
That greatness knows not to be glad.
The boundless, spouseless, fearful sea
Pursues the moon !rcessantly;
And Caesar, childless lives and dies
The thunder torn Scquoia tree
In solemn isolation cries
Sad chorus with the homeless wind
Above the clouds, above his kind,
Above his Fashioned peak, above
All sign or sound or sense of love,
How mateless. desolate, and drear
His lorn, long seven thousand year!
My comrades, lovers, dare TO be
More truly great than Caesar; he
Who hewed three hundred towns apart,
Yet never truly touched one heart.
The fearful. lorn, complaining sea
The very moon looks down upon,
Then changes, as a saber drawn;
The great Sequoia lords as lone
AS God upon that fabled throne,
No. mol True greatness, glory, fame,
Is his who claims nor place nor name.
But loves and lives content, complete,
With baby flowers at his feet

IN SIGHT.
Strike Situation Is Improving Since
Arrival of Gompers.

Chicago, May 18.-Aside from gthe
presence of Mr.. Gompers the influence
that gave greatest promise of a settle
ment of the strike today was an arbi-
tratiOn committee appointed by the
Chicago Team Owners association and
the Transfers union. The committee is
expected primarily to clear the contro-
versy which for several days has
threatened to result in a general strike.
The team owners are a side issue in
the strike situation and their attitude
does not indicate the attitude of the en-
ployers' association. The team owners,
however, have been conceded by many
to hold the key to the situation mas
much as an attempt by the team own
ers to force drivers to deliver goods to
boycotted houses may be made.
Question to Be Arbitrated.
The question to be arbitrated is the
justification of the teamsters to refuse
to make such deliveries. The arbitra-
ton proposal came originally from the
Lumbermen's association. It was ac-
cepted by President Shea and the joint
team owners organization. In antici-
patton Of a favorable verdict large
team owners prepared today to begin
hauling to the strike affected stores.
The arbitration committee consists of
one team owner, one teamster and an
umpire chosen by the other two.
That both sides were anxious to get
together and settle the strike in some
way was evidenced today when repre-
sentatives of the team owners met and
appointed their member of the arbitra-
tion committee. He was said to be Ed
ward J. Hines of the Hines Lumber
company.
It was said at labor headquarters
that the teamsters also had met and
appointed F. J. Gibbons, president of
the Transfers joint counsel as their
member of the arbitration board. These
two after appointing a third, would it
was announced, proceed to settle the
question as to whether teamsters
should deliver goods to boycotted
houses.
Much secrecy was observed with refer
ence to the meeting today between
President Gompers and Attorney Levy
Mayer, counsel for the employers as
sociation.
Information even as to the place and
hour of the meeting was refused. An
aldermanie arbitration committee ap-
pointed by Mayor Dunno held a meet
ing today at the Office of Attorney
Mayer.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES WEEDS?
Singer Reported Married to William
Rapp, but Latter Denies It.

Chicago, May 1s.-A report is cur
rent in social and theatrical circles
that Nine. Schumann-Heink, the
prima donna, and William Rapp, jr.
her personal representative en- tour
had been married recently. Mr.. Rapp
denied the rumor, but admitted that
he had been congratulated frequently
in the past few days.
Il do not know how many times
have heard that report" said Mr..
Rapp. Il have received congratula-
tons by telephone and by letter, not
to speak of a thousand or so verbal
expressions of interest from friends.
decided that the best way to treat
these congratulations was to ignore
them. So have simply said: We'll,
I do not know why you are cOngratu-
lating me, but I accept your demon
stration of interest with thanks just

Mr.. Rapp is 81 years old, and two
years ago associated himself with
Nine. Schumann-Heink as her per
sonal representative. He manages her
concert tours, and while she is en-
gagged in light opera work he repre-
sents her in the box Office.

ONLY ONE MORE TRIP.
President Probably Win Stay at Home
After That.

Washington, May 18.-President
Roosevelt's southern trip, which will
begin October l, may be the last tour
he will make during his term of office.
1t is the intention of the president to de-
cline all invitations to attend meetings
of any kind from this time forward. 1t
was explained today by a man who has
the presidents confidence that his pur-
pose in forming this resolution was to
persuade the people that the present
term would be his last, and at the same
time give him full opportunity to work
out his policies.
The situation which developed in Chi
cago when enthusiastic diners insisted
upon renorninating him for the presi-
dency was embarrassing for the presi-
dent and he does not want to place
himself in positions where similar eX-
periences are possible. The stories
which have been circulated that the
southern trip viii interfere with an ex-
ira session of congress to begin October
is is without foundation. The president
will return to Washington in ample
time for a session. should one be called
for that date.
The president has made himself famil-
lar with all sections of the country and
has succeeded in his public speeches and
messages in acquainting the people
thoroughly with what he wants to &C
complish in his term of office. It is
said to be his intention to devote him
self exclusively to this end.

st. Louis, May 1S.-In the suit of
Thomas Akin against the board OF
railroad and warehouse commissioners
to prevent them from classifying red
Russian wheat as No. winter wheat,
on trial in the St. Louis circuit court.
Mr.. Corwin H. Spencer testified that
one reason the price of wheat ruled
higher in Chicago than 1t did in St
Louis was because in that city the red
Russian and the No. winter wheat
were not mixed.
During the cross examination of
Spencer many questions were asked
tending to show what relations if any
existed between the interests pressing
the suit in Missouri and certain oper-
ators on the Chicago board of trade.
In reply to a direct question Mr.
Spencer stated:
81 do not know of my own knowI-
edge what caused the break in the
wheat corner in Chicago. but it is my
personal opinion that the break was
caused by John w Gates selling 49,
0O8. 600 or 10000. 900 bushels of wheat
IN three or four days, when it should
have taken three or four weeks to
have disposed Of such quantities"

Bishop Kephart was asked by the
members of the conference for his
opinion and in return advised the con-
ference to adopt the majority report.
The word of the bishop had great
weight with the members of the con-

discussion which was precipitated in
the attempt to pass the report.
On a vote the conference passed by
