SATURDAY, MARCH ID, 1909.
CHARES NAGLE, TRUST BUSTER.

Mr.. Taftb secretary Of commerce
and labor the official who will be in
chief charge OF the work of gathering
information concerning the trusts,
is Mr.. Charles Nagel, Of st. Louis.
MIR. Nagel was, at the time Of his
selection for cabinet office. attor-
neg for the Standard Oil Trust. He
figured somewhat in the campaign
OF 1908. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Roosevelt charged that corpora
tion repre- entatives were supporting
Mr.. Bryan. Being called upon for
particulars Mr.. Roosevelt named
Judge Priest OF st. Louis as one of
the corporation representatives that
were supporting the democratic can
dtdate. 1t was pointed out at the
time that while Judge Priest was
attorney for prominent oil man
in a particular casa Charles Nagel
the attorney OF record for the Stand
ard Oil trust, was connected with
the Republican national committee
and that Mr.. Roosevelt did not ap-
pear to be greatly alarmed on that
account. In its issue of January 10
the st. Louis Globe Democrat. repub-
mean, printed from its Washington
correspondent a dispatch predicting
that Mr.. Nagel would be cho1en sec
rotary OF commerce and labor. In
that dispatch the Globe-Democrat
correspondent said:
1T was also asserted TODAY chat
no member of the Taft cabinet will
come into his place with less wire
pul ing and solicitation in hi, be-
half 1t is said that after a digpi-
hed presentation OF Mr.. Nagel's name
from the right quarters, no campaign
was carried on in his behalf. and
that the only further representa-
tons made were at the solIcita4 ION
Of Mr.. Taft, who sought additional
information"
IT Is plain that all that wa nee
essary TO secure for this Standard
Oil trust lawyer place in Mr.. Taft's
cabinet was a "dlgnified representa-
ton Of his name from the right quar-
ter,."
Can it be that the Nagel appoint
ment was one of the subjects under
discussion when Messrs, Taft and
Rockefeller met in Georgia during
the month of January?-iThe Com

Desires Understanding With Britain,
But Has No Confidence.
Berlin, Feb. 9.-The visit of King
Edward tomorrow is regarded general
ly in itself as an event at the present
moment of the greatest political signi-
ficance, and with the feeling that it
would be an excellent thing for both
nations if the meeting of the two mon
archs resulted in a mutual understand
ing tending to allay international ten
sion. From no quarter, however, is
the expectation voiced with any conf
dence that the visit of the English king
will produce direct tangible effects.
King Edward is accompanied by
Queen Alexandra, and official circles
welcome the royal visitors in the most
courtly tone, regarding their coming to
Berlin as a return for the emperor s
visit to England, and are making no
comment on the political Importance of
the event.
Cologne, Feb. 8.-King Edward and
Queen Alexandra arrived here at 10 80
o'rlocA tonight and proceeded to Ber-
lin.

FLEET STARTS FOR HOME.
viii Arrive February 22-Few Repairs
Necessary.

Gibraltar, Feb. S.-while heavy
guns doomed a parting salute and
drowned the cheers of spectators and
the playing of Home, Sweet Home"
by the sixteen bands of the American
battleship fleet, the great white ships
got nder way at IL o'clock this morn
ing and slowly and majestically left
their ancl cages in the war basin here,
and started on the last lap of their rec
ord-breaking cruise around tie world.
For the greater part of the last sec
ton of their As, 000-mile cruise the 16
ships will proceed alone, in double col
umn formation; but about ], 900 miles
off their home coast they will be met
by the North Atlantic fleet, in com
mand of Rear Admiral Arnold, and es-
corted by his ships to their final an
chorage at Hampton Roads, from which
port they started their world-cruise
December 16, 1907. The big fleet is
expected to arrive at the Roads again
on Washington's birthday, which
makes the time of its voyage around
the world exactly one year and SO days.
On this long cruise no serious acct
dent has marred the logs of the big
white ships, though the vessels have
seen ample excitement. They have
been through strenuous target prac.
tice in the Philippines, have visited
Japanese waters when the relations be-
tween the two countries were in ar
unsettled condition; and more lately
in the latter part of their voyage, have
raced through the Mediterranean tc
give succor and aid to earthquake
stricken Sicily and Italy.

Wheat Market Soaring.

Chicago, Feb. 9.-May wheat dis

made new high record. The market
opened with unusual excitement in the
pit and early displayed such FESTIVE
features that the leading owners not
only sold heavily to check the advance,
but advised all their followers to do
likewise. This advice was followed so
promptly that the position at the close
showed the reverse of the early ten
dency May closing with gain of a
cent, while other months gained p to
q cents, as compared with Saturday
finals.
The range for the day was; Open

London, Feb. 8.-Events in Persia
are marching toward crisis that will
necessitate Anglo Russian intervention
on the largest scale unless the progress
sives and reactionaries reach a compro-
mise as to constitutional government
in the immediate future and check the
anarchy overwhelming the Shah's do
mains. As European interest shifted
from North Africa to the near East, so
now it is shifting from the near East
to the middle East. Mulai Hafd gave
way to Abdul Hamid and the "Red
Sultan" gives way to Ali Mira.
In. overthrowing the governor of Is
pahan and notifying the legations that
all loans and concessions will be repu-
dated unless approved by Parliament,
the Persian Liberals hurl new factor
into international relationships.
Prominence is given to an article in
the Kavkas, of Tifiis, by an American
traveller who has crossed Persia re-
Gently.
"By degrees chaos is spreading
everywhere, he says. "The turbulent
conditions are involving every popuIous
center and organized brigandage i:

WRITES OF uNsTRuoK BLOW.
President Says Riding Story Is Not
Worth Denial

Los Angeles, Feb. 9.--Mrs. A. w.
Rhoades, of this city, whose daughter
was mentioned in the Washington story
which was widely circulated to the
effect that President Roosevelt had
struck the young lady's horse while
riding past her on the road, has receiv-
ed the following letter from the presi-
dent on the subject:
"My Dear Mrs. Rhoades II thank
you for your letter of the 29th ultimo
and am glad TO hear from you that your
daughter denied the story that struck
her morse. OF course | never struck
her hor or any other lady's horse.
The whole story was so absurd as not
to be worth denial. Numerous stories
of this kind are started from time to
time by foolish or malicious people.
Occasionally | am obliged to deny
them, but as a rule | find it best sim
ply to ignore them, because denying
them calls attention to them and gives
a chance to mischief-makers to mislead
well-meaning people by further repeti-
lions of the stories. Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

Mitchell Fine Up Again.

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-Contesting
the attitude of the defendant that a
fine imposed against man should not
be enforced against his estate if he
should die before collection were made,
the government attorneys appeared be-
fore the United States circuit court Of
appeals today to argue the appeal filed
by the government against David M.

the late John H. Mitchell, former y
United States senator from Oregon,
who was convicted of land frauds and
sentenced to pay fine.

JAP SITUATION SERIOUS.
President Thanks Gillette for Aid in
Averting Trouble.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Opinions differ
shout the gravity of the Japanese sit
uation. Those best informed, as a
rule, look on it as serious. Senator
Perkins, of California, does not agree
with the chief executive that action by
CALIFORNIA; legislature will contravene
the treaty rights of the Japanese.
Senator Flint, of California, however,
feels greatly disturbed, as does the
president, lest California may at this
time pass legislation which will violate
Japan's treaty rights and be consider
ed an unfriendly act.
The president is said to have fears
that things may go so far that Japan
will break off diplomatic relations with
this country, and he has sent kilograms
warmly thanking Governor Gillett and
Speaker Stanton for their patriotic
efforts in behalf of the nation. He
feels that at this time California has
no right to commit any act which
might plunge this nation into war.

New York, Feb. 9.-"The stage is
worse today than it was in the days of
paganism. said Archbishop Farley in
his sermon in st. Patrick's cathedral
today. The archbishop said:
1.-THE old preachers wanted US to be-
lieve that we must live undefiled to be
saved. All about US we have the men
and women who are setting evil exam
pies. Men hoary with age go to the
public places and to the theaters in
shamelessness and they bring with
them youngsters who cannot escape
corruption. We see today men anc
women-old men and old women-whc
ought to know better, bring the young
to the orgies of obscenity."

Hunters Allowed to Kill But Five Birds

Salem, Feb. 9.-As amended by the
joint committee on game, the season
for hunting pheasants has been short
ened to one month-October Is to No
vember Is. The limit has been reduc-

concession was made to the sportsmen
in that hunting with dogs will continue
to be ALLOW ed.
The season for duck-hunting on the
Columbia river has been fixed from
September Is to January l5. This
was a compromise by the committee to
satisfy the conflicting interests that
appeared before it. The limit will re-
main at so ducks, but the sale of this
game will not be permitted in the mar

examination of the revised game laws

house favorably tomorrow.
