EMPEROR'S
RECEPTION
is CHILLY
KAISER'S GREETING RATHER
FROSTY
ANTI-GERMAN FEELING is MANI
TESTED
English Treat Royal Guest with Great
Respect, but There Is No
Apparent Affection
for Him

BY Associated Press
LONDON, Nov. 13.-Emperor William of
Germany, the guest of King Edward,
made a speech today at the Guildhall,
where he was entertained by the city of
London. He urged the strengthening Of
the Anglo-German relations and en-
phasized his unalterable desire to foster
the peace of the world.
The day passed off without the ex-
pected Socialist demonstration, much less
any disorder or rioting.
The reception accorded Emperor Will
liam by the people of London has been
respectful, but compared to that given
some other royal visitors of recent years
it was in no sense enthusiastic. The at
mosphere which prevailed during his ap-
pearance in public was tinged with de-
cided coldness and there is no doubt that
English officials are relieved that the
passage of the German emperor through
the city was not attended by any dis
agreeable Incidents
The anti-German feeling among a sec
ton of the English people, which is just
at present particularly strong, derived
fresh impetus from the antagonism which
cropped out between the two nations on
various lines during the recent peace
conference at The Hague.
Emperor William evidently intends that
his visit shall inspire better feeling, but
the results are not to be seen. However
cordial the relations between the ruling
houses of Great Britain and Germany
may be, the British public Ndoes not
share these sentiments.
A large section If not a majority, OF the
English people persist in believing Ger
many to be Englands one enemy among
the nations, and this enmity has been
famed recently by continuous warnings
fl ON some of the leading newspapers and
reviews. as well as from military ex-
perts, that Germany'e chief naval and
military activity is directed toward
schemes for the invasion of Engknd-that
Germany plans to surprise England some
day when she Is fully prepared to strike
suddenly, just as japan surprised Russia.
"The German invasion" is becoming
hobby of the anti-Germans and sub
ject of ridicule for the Pro-Germans; the
ioea has, however, unquestionably al
fected the mind of the public and is
ending to surround with suspicion En-
peror Williams professions of yhis de-
sire for peace"
The emperor and empress were enter
tanned at luncheon in the Guild hall
by Lord Mayor Bell and the city cor
poration.
Eight hundred persons, including mem
bers of the royal family, peers, COM
moners and naval and military officers
attended. In speech replying to the ad-
dress of welcome Emperor William said:
'aThe main prop and base for the peace
of the world Is the malntenance of the
regulation between our two countries and
l will further strengthen them so far as
lies in my power. If the German ma
tion's wishes coincide with mine the future
will show bright prospect"
Emperor William appeared in splendid
spirits, but his face was pale and drawn.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 13.-When the trial of
e. G. Lewis, mayor of University City
who is charged by the government with
having used the mails to defraud, was
resumed today, counsel for the defendant
stated that Lewis defense would be that
the Peoples United States bank, of which
he was president at the time it was closed
by a government fraud order, was abso-
lutely solvent.
The government contends that it mat
ters not whether any one was defrauded
if it can be proved that Lewis originated
a scheme, the purpose of which was to
defraud, and that 1t is wholly immaterial
whether the bank was solvent If the con-
ditions named in his periodicals were not
lived up to in all respects.
The government has about forty wit
nesses vet to be heard, and it is said the
defense has a similar number. Inc triai
will continue fully another week.

WELSH DEAD:
KILLED SELF
FOR LOVE
SWEETHEART'S VISIT MAKES
END DRAMATIC
Young Woman, Whose Name May
Never Be Known, Wept {at
Cot-WeIsh Dies as She
Leaves

Herbert Welsh, the Los Angeles young
man who ten days ago, in his apart
ments on North Broadway shot himself
in the breast because of unrequited
love- died yesterday morning at the
county hospital, his death being attended
by most touching circumstances. Welsh,
yesterday morning for the first time in
many days, saw the young woman for
love Of whom he shot himself, and, af
ter sorrowful interview, he waved
good by to her as she left his cot and
fell back dying upon his pillow.
Welsh is the young man who awolle
his roommate in their rooms on North
Broadway with the remark that he could
not live without the love of the woman
he had long considered his sweetheart.
Upon being told to return to bed the
young man placed the muzzle of re-
volver against his breast and fired the
shot which cost his life.
Welsh's roommate notified the police
and the young man was taken to the
receiving hospital There the physicians
succeeded in reviving him, but when
questioned he refused to give any infor-
nation about himself or tell the name of
the woman he loved.
He was taken to the county hospital,
where he agreed to allow the surgeons
TO operate upon him in the interest of
science, saying he was confident he would
die anyway.
Girl Visits Him
Early yesterday morning young wo-
man, tall and exceptionally pretty, called
at the institution and requested permis-
sion to see the wounded youth. Her re-
quest was granted and she entered the
ward and took the chair at the head of
the bed Welsh turned and saw her,
and a glad light filled his eyes as he
stretched forth his hand to the weeping
girl. Not word passed between the
couple and for nearly an hour the wo-
man sat by the youths side, stroking
his hand, and gazing at him.
AT last she arose to go, and stepped
from the room into the hallway. Welsh
raised himself on his elbow to watch
her departing form, and when the sound
of her footsteps died away sank back
unconscious on his pillow.
Nurses notified the physicians and soon
the doctors employed at the institution
were at the youths side. Within a few
moments they knew that all their efforts
were vain, and that he would soon die
A half hour later and the young man
was dead.
All during his illness Welsh steadfastly
refused to tell the name of the young
woman to whom he was so devoted, and
his secret has now gone down to the
grave with him. The physicians at the
hospital are confident that the young
woman who called on him shortly be-
fore his death was the one whose refusal
to return his affection caused him to
end his life.
