TWILL DO HIS DUTY
JACOB RIIs INITIATES ROOSEVELT

Personal. Friend of The President Makes Significant Utteranee in
 Speech 4at st. Raul Minne-

N N
 Saint PauB Minn., Oct, 1s-Unusual interest is manifested today in Jacob Riis address before the first Roosevelt Club in Saint Paul and his statements with reference to a third term for President Roosevelt.
 This organization was the first to bear the Roosevelt name. receiving its title by the express permission of the President Pressure had been brought on MT. Riis to declare his opinions on the third term question and his statement was accepted as being that of close friend of the President. MT. Riis avoided a discussion of the question, but asked his audience:
 'FWill Mir. Roosevelt run again for President?" and then answered it by saying: MT. Roosevelt will always do his duty"
 Although refusing to make any further statement himself. Mir. Riis talked with number of his personal friends, referring to the question in such way as to leave the opinion that 1t is his judgment President Roosevelt will run if circumstances are such as to compel him to do so, but not be- cause of any personal wish to again be a candidate.
 We'll posted Northwestern men who have discussed the subject today be- Iieve- that the Riis statement is con- firmation of the opinion that the Re- publican Party faces the option of ac- cepting Taft or taking Roosevelt as a third term candidate. and that Roose- welt may be forced to run through activities of those who differ with him and oppose Taft becouse the latter is the Presidents friend.

BY RICHARD BRoDERICK.

London, Oct. i6.--Queen Alexandra is not apt to spend very much of her time in London. if one Is to judge from the letters she has been sending home from the little country seat she bought in Denmark Q few miles outside of the city of CopSnhagen, where she has spent several weeks with her sister the Dowager Empress of Russia.
 \ The Queen writes that for years she has not felt 50 happy nor been able to enjoy such perfect rest as during those weeks. While the, two sisters are keeping house together, they live a veritable simple life. They do their own gardening and in the afternoon take long drives or walks both carry ing cameras.
 While they have been doing some entertaining. their parties have neces- sarily been small as the main dining room of the cottage cannot hold more than eighteen people at the most The furniture is very simple. and the only electric light plant which furnishes light and power. Queen Alexandra has herself personally superintended the installation of the light, which has been carried out in a very artistic man ner.
 Queen Alexandra intended to return to London week ago but because of the health of her sister. the Empress. who is continually on the verge of a nervous breakdown, she has decided to stay in her own house until just before the visit of the German Emperor and Empress to Windsor which, will be a solemn and trying function for all con- cerned.

Vigorous, Hale and Hearty at IO7 Years

MT. Leonard Roeder, of BOA Payson Ave, Quincy, ILL, celebrated his 1O7th birthday January 21st last. He enjoys health and is as vigorous as a man 70; thanks to the constant use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whis- key, the great tonic stimu- Iant.
 Mrs. John P. Liebig, his adopted daughter, with whom he lives, has in her possession German travelling book. which gives the date of his birth as January 2Ist. 1900, estab- fishing without a doubt his extreme age.
 Mir. Roeder came to Quincy from Germany in l643. where the follow ing year he was married.
 He is remarkably rugged for one of his years. and, with the exception of the loss of his sight. has possession of all of his faculties. His relatives and friends marvel at the stability of his physical form.
 In recent interview MT. Roeder said:
 T have been taking your Mali Whi-key for a long time. and find ii a great tonic stimulant and an invig- orator for old age. am now IO7 years old and am enjoying good health, largely due to your wonderful medi- cine, Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey."

Berlin. Oct. 1s.--The Kaiser has be- come very much interested in aeron- autics and to the despair of the Elm press contemplates making an ascent in Count Zeppelin's latest airship.
 According to men close to Emperor William he firm believes that the bat ties of the future will be largely fought in the air and for that reason he will endeavor to have the next in- ternational congress of aeronaufs make the first steps towards the adap- tion of international passports At first glance it might appear ridiculous to speak or aerial passports" but the necessity of such papers is neverthe- less apparent
 4 person who travels through the air into another country should not be surprised at being questioned when landing, from where he came, and where he is going. It is in the in- Go ask such information about people who during their voyage are in posi- tion to spy on manoeuvres and photo- graph forts.
 At time when everything is being done on the part of the Kaiser and his government to establish friendly relations with France. it has caused much bitterness in official circles here khas large part cf the French press has undertaken to criticize the Kali ser's contemplated visits to the Hague and Brussels this fall.
 The French papers insinuate that the Kaiser intends to visit Queen Will helmenia only to further his plan of placing German prince upon the throne of Holland. and that he is going to see King Leopold of Belgium mere iy to get promise of financial assist ance in case of a war, from the multi millionaire monarch. .s
 Both accusations are vigorously de- nfed in the "Norddentsche Allgemeine zeiting," the official organ of the German Government

Rishon Too WeIl-Paid.

British Bishopsc are too well-paid thinks one of the most distinguished of them. The Bishop of Norwich, who Is this year President of the Church Congress, has declared that Episcipol palaces are too large and too expen- sive to maintain. and that they should be sold. When taking possession or the Bishops palace at Norwich. he said: 'I had to spend more than $l5'- 900. and it cannot be kept up for less than $2,500 a year. If a smaller resi- dence were provided. my stipend might be reduced by $5OOO or $7,60o a year"
 The Bishop of Norwich receives a salary of $22,5OO a year. which he Is willing to have reduced by $7.5O0. This self denying attitude of the Bishop is one of the chief unofficial topics among delegates to the Church Con gress. .

The quiet. shop-like office of the Strand Union. in Henrietta Street Covent Garden, enjoys the reputation of being the most romantic place oi busiess in London.
 It is the Gretna Green of modern times for there are the headquarters of the registrar of marriages for the Strand district, who is constantly kept busy tying nuptial knots for cele- brities in a hurry.
 As the Strand Registry office Is set in the midst of the great hotels in which the eloping couples from the continent usually stop, the reason of it's popularity for quick weddings is not hard to find.

Hungary, and Is considered the beauty of the town recently challenged a student named Szallogy to a duel.
 Herr Szaollogy had said something deprecatory of her looks. and the fair Margarete. who is accustomed to uni- versai admiration. and appears to be as bold as she is beautiful. appointed another student as her second. and . regular duel with pistols, three shots each. was arranged.
 The police, however. got wind of the affair, and the would-be combatants have been bound over to keep peace. Sued By His Valet. Lieutenant Rene von Dziokowski was sued in the High Court in Vienna yes- terday by his former valet. Alois Ka- derabek. for $2.o00 damages for the loss of moustache.
 It was alleged that the lieutenant had induced his valet to shave off his flowing moustache on the understand ing that he would remain in the lieu tenants service for two years at least.
 A fortnight afterwards, however, Lieutenant won Dziokowski marred, and discharged Kadarabek.
 The valet explained that the dam- ages he claimed were for loss of wages, and for moral and intellectual dam ages, aB every one SuppOscu uc tluot have been in prison. and he was con- seqhentiy summed by his friends.
 The court was unsympathetic, and dismissed the action.
 Conclusions on Consumption.
 The International Congress on Tu. berculosis. which has just closed here, has come to some important conclu- sions regarding the cause and treat- ment of consumption,
 The unanimous opinion of the dele gates was that the bacillus enters the system by the a1imentary canal or by the respiratory tract or by both. that is to say we contract consumption either by the food we eat or by the air we, breathe.
 Tuberculosis can be contracted by one person from another, or through the use of milk and meat from tuber- culous cattle.
 Thus to prevent the spread of the disease all broken down tissues given off by consumptive persons must be destroyed and all dairies and abatoirs must be vigorously supervised.
 An interesting fact elfcited by the Congress was that building an efficient sanatorium for tubercuious patients need cost no more than $1.00o per bed. An institution built at this price in Germany was found to be just as sat- isfactory as another costing double the money.

areat JeweI Rohbery.

Although not a word has leaked out in the public press. a few details con corning a remarkable jewel robbery which occurred in the year 1903. are beginning to circulate in the clubs as the result of some very recent and startling developments.
 In 1903 the Earl of Verulam, direct descendant of the great Francis Bacon of Elizabethian days, was robbed of a collection of jewels which included his- torical pieces of priceless value. Lord Veruiam is one of those peers who take no great interest in social doings, nor does he care to be much in the public eye, but he has always prided himself on his connection with the great Ba- con and is keenly interested in the Elizabethian period.
 Since his loss he has been in constant communication with the London detec- tives, who in their turn have been in touch with the American force. With in the last few weeks, however, there have been developments of an aging character.
 Lord VeruIam has received back one of his most precious lost heirlooms from Aldershot. The anonymous letter which accompaniedSthe heirloom stated that the whole of the jewels and other articles would be.seventually restored if a big ransom were paid. The let ter was evidently written by a gentle man of culture. The police now be- lieve that the heirlooms were taken by a person of some social standing who had a mania for collecting old things and who has come to his senses.
 Among the many articles missing are a crystal medallion of great antiquity containing the head of a young man in gold, several gold medals of the reign of Henry VII and Henry VIII. many Elizabethian relies, caskets and shuff boxes and silver articles with the coat of arms of the Grimstons, the family name of the Verulams. The London police believe that some of the heir looms are in America and they are &C., lively following up the Aldershot clue Lord verulam at present refuses to pay a ransom.

Educating Young Princes.

EIuUCAtAnB LOunB fEaMcGos
 The Princess of Wales has very strong views about the education of her children. Both Her Royal High ness and the Prince have determined that their children shall be knocked into shape" as the Prince himself has expressed 1t, by children of humber birth, and they are both intensely sat- isfled with the results as far as the education of Prince Edward, their eld- est son, at Osborne Naval College, Is concerned.
 The boy has already immensely im- proved in physique and can stand up to the most pugnacious youngster in the college. The Princess has now de- termined that her daughter, Princess Mary. shall go to a boarding school and mix with girls of her own age. This, of course, Is a very advanced program. as none of the Kings daugh- ters were allowed to go to boarding schools.
 The Princess very qunetly has been making inquiries through an agent and at present her learnings lie to- wards very select school known as Pilham House, Seaford. a little seaside village close to Brighton.
 The school Is kept by two sptnsters of a good family who have only ten very carefully selected pupils. amongst them one of the little Swedish Prin- cesses.

Prince is Arrested.

. The Prince of Battenberg has had the trying experience of being arrest ed as a railroad thief. American and English tourists have complained Of how the Italian railroads are infected with thieves, and consequently the police have been on the qui viye for these pests.
 The prince with two friends arrived at Perugia by late train from sport ing trip, and was promptly arrested as a suspectedt thief. He and his friends protected but their baggage was searched. At last the Prince es- tablished his identity. and was releas- ed, but he had to walk three miles at midnight to reach the city. and now he has sent complaint to Italian government who will undoubtedly make 1t hot for somebody.

.4it making desperate fight to retain the old system of communal ownership ol land.
 z Under law passed year ago by M. Stolypin. tn defiance of. the consti- tuition, peasants under certain condi- tions were allowed to keep as private property the lots of communal land which they were for the time being cultivating. Under the communal sys- tenn this land always remained the property of the village as whole, ana was redistributed according to the size of each peasants family.
 The new law unjust1y favors peasants who through accidental causes have larger lots than they have right to. The mass of the peasants, there- fore, favor communal ownership under which they had chance of getting Q fair share. But the peasants with un- fairly large farms are seizing the op- portunity to claim them as private property.
 The poorer peasants are resisting these claims. As the authorities and the courts enforce the new law. the malcontents have had recourse to riot ing and violence.
 Tn one large district of Kherson province nearly every peasant who took advantage of the new law was attacked. Many houses were burnt. The peasants destroyed the houses of several local officers; declared boyr colt of the land-grabbers. and refused them the protection of the village police.
 As the object of. the new law was to create disunion among the peasants and foster a new class of rich mug hiks who would oppose the revolution, the government regards the Incident disorders with complacency.

INDORSED AT THE HAGUE.
Vote on Principle of Obligatory Arbi-
tration by Peace Conference.

THE HAGUE, October 5.-Baron Mar
schall Won Bieberstein delivered a note
worthy speech today before the arbitration
committee of the peace conference, during
which he announced himself to be in favor
of obligatory arbitration but opposed to a
treaty including all the nations of the
world. In the course of his remarks the
baron said that the general feeling was that
the conference, having dealt with questions
of war, must do something for peace.
He favored obligatory arbitration on
grounds similar to the general treaty re-
Gently concluded between Italy and Argen-
tina. In other words, individual treaties be-
tween nations in preference to a treaty in
cluding the whole world which II was pro-
posed should apply to juridical and not to
political matters, which. the speaker con-
tended, 1t would be impossible to separate
as what might be jurdical question in
one country might be political question in
another, or might become political in re-
gard to some point of the litigation.
Continuing, the baron said that some of
the subjects which the general arbitration
treaty plan proposed to submit to arbitra-
ton were such as could not possibly involve
nations in war. Besides If interna fiona
and private law continue to develop as thew
had done during the past quarter of a CEN
tury it would be necessary to agree uoon q
method 10 Apply them In uniform manner
throughout the world, and establish an in
ternational high court, not of arbitration.
but of appeal.
In conclusion the baron declared that the
project instead of regulating international
litigation would create new difficulties
After listening to fifteen speeches the
committee voted in favor of the principle Of
obligatory arbitration, the vote standing 30
ayes and noes. the latter including Ger
