President Roosevelt Sends
Sensational Message
to Congress.
SLAP FOR HUMPHREY
Asks Enactment of Law Giving
Government the Right OF
Appeal.

Washington. April 1S.-In special
message addressed to congress today,
President Roosevelt declares the re
suit of the recent trial of the beef pack
ers in Chicago. was miscarriage of
Justice" That the Interpretation placed
by Judge Humphrey on the will OF
congress "is such as 10 make that will
absolutely abortiYe."
Message Sensational.
The message. which is most sensa-
tional in character. is based largely on
a letter TO the president from Attorney
General Moody in which Moody re-
views the proceedings of the case of
the government against the beef pack
ers. The president says it is clear
that no criticism attaches to Commits
sioner Garfield. as what he did was in
pursuance with the duty imposed on
him by congress.
Slam for Humphrey.
He refers. sharply, however, TO the
decision of Judge Humphrey, saying
congress could not have foreseen such
a decision, and that he can hardly be-
lieve the rule of Judge Humphrey will
be followed by other judges. He de-
clared that such Interpretation of law
as that placed on it by Humphrey
comes measurably near making law "A
farce" and he recommends congress to
pass a declaratory act stating its real
intention.
Asks Right of Appeal.
The president also requests congress
to confer upon the government, by sta
tute. the same right of appeal in Grim
inal cases which the defendant now en-
joys. where the merits of a case have
not been determined.

Another strained pause, which was ter
minated by a sudden preparatory lunge Of
the car. The tension was relieved.

The car gave another lunge and wheeled
slowly from under the shed. The woman
and the boy looked as If a weight had fallen
from them. The girl in white dimpled,
biushed and waved her hand.
And when 1t was all over q trainman

Graceful Dances Of Spain.

From the Nineteenth Century.
In dancing the Spanish woman is queen
OF her sex. To see the real thing you must
get hold OF O gypsy band or visit some
humble dancing place In Seville or in the
south There Is no dancing in the world

full
Spain Is the true home OF the dance.
There are the jota. or Aragon, with its fine
abandon. but stately time: the tango re-
senJbling the danse due ventre Of Moorish
Spain-the dance of gesture and suggestion;
the graceful cachuca, with Its chironomio
play OF head and arms; the Jaleo de Jerez.
which gypsies dance in whirling measure;
tho quaint dances of the Basque provinces,
and scores OF minor local dances more or
less alike peculiar to different localities.
But the great dances are the bolero, the
seguidilla. the chaeona and the fandango
of the south. These dances are the soul
and epitome OF Spain. In all of them prose
gesture-the mystery of true dancing-plays
al important part: in all of them the poetry
OF love and motion Is exhibited with extra
ordinary subtlety and expression.

On the Upper Thames.
From the London Chronicle.


Nuisances as well as pleasures abound on
the upper Thames in summer, and one
would be glad IL the Thames Association

hangs about the towing path with a rotten
rope. and publish that promised ''Gu.ds

only fair to the hotels to announce that
they are already dropping into line. Pos

But a recent expedition from Oxford to
Goring discovered a curious coincidence be-
tween the charges for board and lodging.
It seemed that the hotel keepers had met
