Arrival of Roosevelt
Opens Berlin Season

Special Cablegram to The Star
BERLIN, May 14.-With Mr.. Roose-
velt's visit the coming American season
began. The hotels ere crowded, rubber
neck wagons filled and the American ac-
cent is heard everywhere. There is not
much RoOseveltiana. Stories of his do
ings and talks with the kaiser have not
yet leaked out. Curiously, nobody seems
to be able to describe exactly the scene
of his first greeting by the kaiser. It is
known that Roosevelt impressed the
kaiser immensely. The empress is kind
ness personif1ed, and the forceful colonel
Is the style of man she admires. Roose-
welt made one American lady happy by
cOnsenting to use her ninety horsepower
auto for a trip. He has granted many
audiences, among them a long one to Mr.
Kellogg. the trust buster. Mr. Kellogg
will return to the United States on the
same steamer as the RoOsevelts, sailing
June Is.
Ambassador Hilfs action in consulting
the British court and government regard
ing modified arrangements for Roose-
velt's English visit, caused by King Ed
wards death, is criticised by ultra-sensi-
tive Americans as unusual and superflu-
Gus. 1t certainly creates a precedent, but
a majority of American. English and
German opinions applaud DIR. HilPs ac-
tion. 1t was taken after deliberation
with the German ministry of foreign af-
fairs 0hd the British ambassador here.

ST. PETERSBURG. May 14.-Consid-
cradle meaning is attached to the per-

mourning in Russia for King Edward at
three months. which is longer than would
be accorded to the memory Of any one

imperial court minister, Baron Gen.
Frederick drew up the first order, which
said the mourning period should be one

months. This date will carry the Russian

SUPPORT IS PROMISED
Every Effort Will Made to Push
Administration Measures.
ATTACKS ON PARTY TAKEN UP
Executive Deplores Them, Although
cism-Railroad Bill Changes.

A decided step in the direction of as
suring the adoption by Congress of prac-
tically all Of the administration legisla-
tive program was taken at the White
House last night. From 1890 o'clock
until long after 1 o'clock President Taft
discussed the situation with a large ma
and five Of the party leaders from east
ern states. There were present:
Senators Flint, California: Guggen-
helm, Colorado; Hepburn and Borah,
Idaho: Curtis. Kansas; Nelson, Mime
sofa; Carter and Dixon, Montana; Burkett
and Brown, Nebraska; Nixon, Nevada:
Gamble and Crawford, South Dakota
SmOot and Sutherland. Utah, and Piles
and Jones, Washington, representing
states west of the Mississippi river, and
West Virginia: Crane, Massachusetts,
Root. New York, and Brandegee,i Con-
necticut, representing the east. :.
President Taft talked with great free
dom about the situation. He said that he
did not care about criticisms of himself,
but that he believed everything possible
should be done to prevent attacks upon
the party. In that connection he referred
incidentally to the statement of Freder-
ick M. Kerby. the Interior Department
stenOgrapher who put out q story against
officials in connection with the prepara-
ton of the Taft letter dismissing CLAWS
from the government service. The Presi-
dent simply cited the instance to show
the sort of attacks being made against
the administration. He thought that the
administration senator's should help out
in dissipating the effect of such attacks.
Every man present agreed to stand by
the President. 4....
Certain amendments to the railroad bill
were agreed, upon. and, through these it
Is planned to get the support of some Of
the insurgent republicans. This state
ment is regarded as very significant, as
looking to the avoidance of clashes be-
tween party factions wherever they can
be avoided.
The railroad bill. the anti-injunction
measure, the statehood bill, if possible.
and the public land withdrawal bill were
agreed upon as a revised legislative slate
and all Of the senators present pledged
themselves to vote for these measures. 1t
is not believed. however. that the state
hood bill will getl through.
1t was agreed. tnat IL filtbustering meth
DDS were used against this program those
present last night and the regulars repre-
sented by them would stand together and
vote to lay time-killing amendments on
the table.

Primary Election to Be Held Tues

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May IA gen.

incidentally United States Senator
Charles Dick will, In all probability, be
placed in nomination by the republicans
for reelection. Senator Dick will be the
only senatorial candidate on the primary
ballot, although there are several candi-
dates who will make their fight before
the legislature. An attempt to keep his
name from the ballot by Injunction failed.

The warmest contests are apparently

In the former Representative James Ken
nedy has three republican opponents. and
in the latter w. Aubrey Thomas is op-
posed by two of , his own party.
In the large cities Of the state there
is little interest. as the present represent
atives are practically unopposed. but in
the country the tariff bill has. been a
fruitful source of stump oratory. and
feeling has in places been high and bit
ter.
The state campaign, although its course
will be largely governed by the result
OF the primaries, has cut little figure so
far, as Gov. Harmon has no opposition
for denomination. and the republicans
have not seriously begun the selection
Of a candidate for governor.

NO JUDICIARY NOMINEES.
Republicans Decide Not to Put Up
Ticket in Tennessee.

Leaders Of the republican party in Ten
nessee held a conference at the White
House yesterday and practically decided
not to put a judicial ticket in the field in
the coming elections. but to join with
anti-Patterson democrats In the support
of an independent ticket
Since the perdoning Of Col. Duncan B..
Cooper, who was convicted Of the muir
der Of former Senator Carmack, there
has been much disagreement in the dem
ocratic ranks. and the attitude Of the re-
publicans. therefore, was a matter Of
great moment. Concerning the confer
ence the following was issued last night
by those who participated:
''As the result of conferences at the
White House this afternoon. in which
Representatives Brownlew and Austin.
State Chairman Newell s. Sanders and
other republican leaders of Tennessee
participated, 1t is practically certain that
the republican party, will not nominate
ticket for the supreme court and the
court Of civil appeals in the coming state
elections. This Is taken to indicate that
the republicans will unitedly join with the
anti-Patterson democrats in supporting
the Independent judicial ticket"

litical section of the congress and was

deemed it unwise to bring up the ques-
ton. One of the European delegates. Mr..
Majeraski of Lwow, declaring that in
spirit he was with the other delegates.
said he must withdraw from the room.
as he had no right to participate in de-
Hberations on this subject.
The action Of the congress is said to
have placed the European delegates in
an embarrassing position, but when the
question of Poland's Independence was
once brought up, the delegates declared
that there was nothing to do but to in
dorse it unanimously.
Protection Of Emigrants.

lowing resolution, which was adopted as
the sense of the congress-:
