CAMPING ON THEIR TRAIL.
) An Angry Woman Bids Defiance to
President and State Department
and Will "Pursue the ISSUE"

Washington, April 12.-Mrs. Ida
Won Cluassen, who has been here sew
eral days endeavoring to see Presl-
dent Roosevelt regarding her contro-
versy with the American minister to
Sweden, Mr.. Graves, growing out Of
Mr.. Graves refusal to present her to
the royal court at Stockholm, left for
New York Thursday night. Before
her departure she gave out state
ment in which she said she had mo
chance of redress at the hands Of
President Roosevelt or the state de-
partment,' and that she would pur-
sue the issue to the end"
Her statement criticises President
Roosevelt for denying her an audi
ence, asks II that was square deal"
says she has been shamefully treated
by the Roosevelt administration, and
says that the "reopening Of the case
BY the state department while a NOR

DIE OF FAMINE IN RUSSIA
A Commissioner Sent to Investigate,
Makes Report Of Conditions.
Twenty Millions Of People Are starv-
ing to Death In the Southeastern
Provinces.

London, April 11.-Dr. Kennard,
commissioner of the Society Of
Friends, who was sent to investigate
the Russian famine, writing from
Samara, in the heart of the famine
district, under date Of April 3, ap-
peals to the United States and Great
Britain to promptly send help. He
says:
There are 100000 people dis
tributed in the southeastern provinces
Of Russia who without aid cannot live
to see another harvest" In Samara
alone, the commissioner adds, thous-
ands are dying and 100000 are starv-
ing. OF the latter only 372,700 are
getting relief, a dole of one meal in
"a hours.
AS meal Is only two pounds OF
bread and a bowl of soup, this, accord
ing to the commissioner, means dying
by degrees. Even this meagre dole
in countless instances is divided
among many mouths. There are only
sufficient funds on hand to last until
May l, whereas money will be needed
until the end Of July, wnen the har-
vest will bring relief The commits
sioner especially appeals for canned
milk. He says there are 100000
children in Samara province who have
no milk and are forced to eat coarse
bread made of acorns, powdered
wood and cucumbers, resulting in
thousands Of deaths and much dis
ease,
In conclusion, the commissioner APP
peals to the anglo Saxons for $780,,
900 to save "2O,0O0,00j Of human be-
ings who are dying lingering deaths
from starvation"

Mr.. Spooners speech was delivered

Mr.. Spooner, after thanking tho

being privileged to represent the

United States Senate, as follows:
"As am leaving II never to return
to 1t, let me say few words about
the United States Senate. 1t has
been harshly and too generally crit
cised on various grounds. It was
the intention, evidently, Of the fran
ers Of the constitution that II should
not be popular body; that 1t should
stand between the first and second
thought Of the people, which Is not a
pleasant or popular function. 1t was
expected that the house OF represen'
tatlves, coming directly and so often
from the people, might at times be
more extreme than the real public
interest would Justify. and the SEN
ate was to be the conservative body
to safeguard the people against hasty,
passionate or ill-advlsed measures.
1T Is my conviction that there Il
not in the world a legislative body
more loyal to the public interest,
more laborious and palnstaking in

and better, practical ability to legis.
