CRACK At ROOSEVELT
TAKEN BY KAISER IN SUP
PRESSED INTERVIEW.
STORM OF PUBLIC WRATH
Would Have Been Aroused by Article
Withdrawn by Century Maya
zine at Big Loss.

states that the omission in the next
number OF an interview with Emperor
William was purely matter OF court
esy TO the Kaiser and that the maya
zine gladly assumes the large financial
loss occasioned by the widespread ad-
vertising of the article written by Will
lam Bayard Hale
In the smothered interview il is
rumored that the Kaiser spoke of
President Roosevelt and OF matters af-
fecting the United States in a manner
that would have aroused as great a
storm OF public wrath in this country
as has been aroused in Great Britain
by the Kaisers interview in which he
says he outlined the campaign against
the Beers.
Said Mr.. Scott: Il have nothing to
say as 10 whether the request that the
article be suppressed came from the
Kaiser or not. ! have nothing TO say
regarding any exchange of messages
or anything else. The Century simply
believed II courteous 10 omit the pub
LEGATION of the interview and has done
so"
1T is a matter OF simple courtesy. .
Mr.. Scott said The magazine does
not consider the matter of expense.
No such arrangements have even been
thought Of
In advertising the interview the
Century announced that it dealt with
impressions OF President Roosevelt
war and Christianity-the true mis-
sion of wealth-the principles OF archi-
tecture-the Roman Catholic Church. .
Since the Kaiser has begun to ap-
preciate the storm raised in England
and Germany by the interview with
him printed in London he is reported
TO have become worried about the ef-
feet of some of his statements regard
ing the first and last subjects Of the
advertised interview. In literary cir
Giles in New York it is regarded as
certainty that the interview would
never have been Withdrawn excepting
at the express request of the Kaiser
and his Ministers.

MAY BE SENATOR ROOSEVELT.
Washington Gossip Has II that He
May Succeed Plat

Washington, Special: That Presi-
dent Roosevelt may be the successor
of Senator Plat in the Senate is re-
garded by many in Washington as not
at all improbable. Those who regard
this as possible. say they have assur-
ance from the President himself that
he would not be entirely averse TO the
acceptance of the senatorial Office I'M
der conditions as they will be after
March 4. So far as is known he has
made no recent expression on the sub
ject. but he has said within the last
year that with Mr. Taft as President
he would not feel the same hesitancy
about entering the Senate that he
would feel with some one in the
White House with whom his relations
were not as intimate as they are with
Mr. Taft.
His general attitude has been ad-
verse 10 entering the Senate. because
he has felt that as member of that
body he would be called upon 10 criti-
else his successor in the presidency.
and this ne would feel a delicacy
about doing.

OUTLINE Of MESSAGE
TO CONGRESS HAS BEEN COM
PLETEp BY ROOSEVELT.
CUTS OUT BIG TASK FOR TAFT
viii Urge Rigid Control Of All Com
bines by a Body Like Inter
state Commission.

New York, Special: dispatch to
the New York American from Wash
ington Is as follows
The President has already com
pleted the outline Of his message TO
Congress. Much Of the material for IL
has been gathered together and many
features have been roughly drafted.
1t can be stated that the President
will send what can be recognized as a
characteristic message. He will re-
iterate a demand for those things
which Congress has not yet got around
70 giving on the strength of former de
mands and will come out for some new
features of progressive legislation.
In short. in his farewell message
the President may be expected 10 cut
out large task for the new Admins
tration, which will assure that there
will be plenty doing for some time TO
come. The tariff question has been
relegated 10 the new Congress and the
new President Judge Taft will have
the writing of the tariff message, and
ii will be his first communication TO
the legislative branch of the Govern
ment He is going to work on il at
Asheville during the winter and have
II ready before inaugu -ation.
With the tariff taken care of Presi-
dent Roosevelt will present the case of
those various reform measures he has
been pressing in the past The list
Will include:
Practical and effective amendments
10 the Sherman antitrust act, with the
view OF establishing some such Gov
eminent supervision of the great in
dustrial corporations as the Interstate
Commerce Commission maintains over
the railroads
Passage OF the Government en-
ployes liability act
Increase OF the naval establishment

ships. at least. and probably a renewal
OF the request for four
Provision for the establishment Of
forest reserves in the Appalachian re
gion.
Inauguration of an effective Feder-
al control Of the water powers OF the
country with a view TO preventing
their monopolization of private inter
ests and 10 assuring that power shall
be sold at reasonable rates.
Internal waterways Improvement
and development.
Campaign fund publicity.
One section of the message to
which the President has devoted him
self with especial satisfaction is the
discussion OF the tleship fleets
trip around the world. Ii has been a
source Of qualification TO him that the
display has been so strikinely sue
cessful, both as a demonstration OF the
fitness of the navy and of the excellent
relations between the United States
and the nations of the world. The
President will take occasion once
more TO press for a permanent policy
of naval expansion.

Mr. Roosevelt will be more than
mere contributor. His headquarters
will be at the Outlook Office. and he
will be in frequent consultation with

somewhat analogous to that of a con
sulting engineer who is called in to

tion TO the staff OF engineers in charge

ma canal

that following the successful maneu-

Government Is planning To send a feet
Of warships around the world. ON
Gals OF the Admiralty we're ques-
toned. but all they would say was:
There is no information we can give
you on this matter"
This negative statement, however.
would seem to support the intimation
that such a tour had been suggested.
but under the present political condi-
tons in Europe II is not thought al all
probable that the Admiralty would
dispatch a feet in any way compar-
able 10 the American feet.
There is a possibility that the
squadron under Sir Percy Scott.
which is at present in South Africa.
and which has been ordered to South
America. may be brought home by
way OF the far East and the Suck
Canal.
