After luncheon at the American en-
bassy, Col. Roosevelt called upon
President Fallieries and Foreign Min

bassy. Part of the afternoon was de-
voted to private engagements.
Mr.. Roosevelt was given an ovation

New York, April 21.-The sudden ad-
journment today of the federal inquiry
into the alleged cotton pool before the
special grand jury raised hopes in GER
tain quarters of the financial district
that perhaps the government had de-
cided to call off the investigation.
Clark McKercher, assistant attorney
general, soon dispelled that hope by
announcing that other witnesses We're
to be called at further grand jury ses-
s;ons. Plans for a deeper probing of
alleged cotton pools will soon. it is
said, be laid at Washington. where Mr.
McKercher is going.
James Patten of Chicago banged his
fist on an oak table of a downtown
brokerage office today and declared
with emphasis that he was not in this

His Last

How q s ably Regenerafes Hin,

The Biograph in this subject has
produced without doubt, the most
unique and consistent story ever pre-
sented. A young inventor while
waiting return on his invention,
sees starvation staring the little fam
lily of himself, wife and baby in the
face. In dire desperation they clan
destinely leave the baby in the min
ister's home, that it at least may be
spared their fate. Later the min
listers house is entered by burglar,
who has just suffered the loss of his
only child. The sight of the founding
induces him to take it home to his
wife who is mourning beside the
empty cradle. Meanwhile, the father
has realized on his latent and goes
to reclaim their baby, but, of course,
the minister knows nothing of it. The
shock almost drives the poor mother
insane. The burglar, Influenced by
the baby's presence, determines to
bt3 man, and engages as coachman
to the doctor who is attending the
grief-wrecked mother Thus he learns
the identity of the baby, and in his
burglar attire, enters the sick room
and places the baby beside her while
she sleeps.
