Roosevelt Pays
Visit to Parliament
of Hungary
Count AppOnyi Holds Reception in
His Honor and Addresses Him
as Friend of Peace.

BUDAPEST, April 1s.-Although Hungary
is in the throes of an exciting general cleo
ton, the visit OF Mr.. Roosevelt fairly
monopolized public attention. The polyglot
newspapers Of Budapest today print col
umns about his arrival and extended edit
orials Of welcome home appear in Eng
lish.
The character Of the crush at the rail-
way station last night when the former

fact that the chief of police suffered a
broken leg and several other persons were
injured.
Today a big crowd cheered the dis
tinguished visitor, as accompanied by Am
bassador Hengelmuller Won Hengervar he
left his hotel and entered an automobile
to begin the days program. Mr.. Roose-
welt first made a formal call at the royal
palace, where he left his card for Archduke
Joseph of Austria. He then visited the
House Of Parliament.
Mr.. Roosevelt is receiving a magnificent
welcome from the interparliamentary
group. Count Appenyi held a reception in
his honor and in presenting him with an
engrossed address, extolled the former pres
ident, not only as the tried and proven
friend of Hungary and peace, but as the
champion Of public morality and honesty
everywhere. He declared thai no other liv-
ing statesman represented such high and
noble aspirations.
Replying. Mr.. Roosevelt paid a tribute to
the valor, courage and love of liberty OF
the Hungarians, whose ancestors, he said,
had saved the western world from the
Monaghan hordes. Acknowledging Count
Apponyis personal references. he insisted
he was fighting simply for the Decalogue
and the golden rule.
Following the reception Mr.. Roosevelt
returned to the palace, where he was the
guest at luncheon Of Archduke Joseph OF
Austria
In the afternoon Mr.. Roosevelt visited
Francis Kossuth, leader Of the united Cd.

method as this process is carried out In

moisture and long exposure TO moderate

from starch to sugar.

There is every hopeful indication that
the backbone Of the freeze will be reached
by Tuesday morning.
, Just what damage will result to the fruit
buds is a matter OF conjecture, though
serious damage is feared. Where smudges
were used in the southern Iowa orchards
Saturday and Sunday night It is believed
that the destruction OF the fruit crops has
been averted, and the %smudging process
will be renewed tonight. But orchards not
protected by smudges are IN all probality
ruined, particularly in the central Mis-
souri, valley region. Fortunately the freez-
ing temperatures have not extended much
south Of the southern Missouri line.
Reports from the oregon and Washing
ton fruit belts indicate no damage from
the cold snap whatever.
