Roosevelt Party Is Treated With Creai
Hospitality at Potsdam and Berlin
Throat Specialist Examines
COL Ro0Seve|t'S Condition.

Berlin, May 10.-TheodOre Roosevelt
and Emperor William had their first
long conversation today after lunch
con at Potsdam. Standing apart from
the guests they talked earnestly to-
gether for more than an hour
The Emperor's welcome to the for
mer President was exceedingly cordial
Wearing the white and gold uniform
Of the Gard Du Corps with brazen
helmet surmounted by silver eagle
with outsprcad wings, the Emperor
appeared at the entrance Of the new
palace on the arrival of the carriages
which brought Colonel and Mrs
Roosevelt, Miss Ethel and Kermit to
the palace gates. His Majesty advanc
ed quickly and shook hands warmly
with each one of them. Later he pre-
scented his guests to the Empress, and
the entire party sat down to luncheon
at six tables. His Majesty had Mrs.
Roosevelt at his left and Col. Roose-
welt was seated between the Empress
and the Crown Prince.
A regretable incident occurred on
the arrival rf the Roosevelt party
from Stockholm this morning when
the royal carriages intended for their
use failed to reach the station in time
and Ambassador Hill was missing
from among the officials who had
gathered to greet the eX-Prcsident.
This was due to a misunderstanding
regarding the arrival of the special
train. The ROoseVelts drove to the
American embassy and shortly after
ward Col. Roosevelt kept an appoint
ment with Prof Fraenkel, throat
specialist who made Il careful exam
nation.
At Potsdam the Emperor and En-
press treated their American guests
with great cordiality. engaging them in
prolonged conversation in the small
drawing room. with other members of
the royal family before lunch. The
Emperor after the other guests had
gone. showed Col, Roosevelt and his
family through the sans S"ucl palace
himself.
The Emperor has arranged for n
sham battle for tomorrow III winch
2.0JO men of all arms Will take part.
1t is somewhat doubtful. however. II
Cot Roosevelt can attend. as he is po-
serving the utmost care 50 that ne Will
be able to deliver his lecture before
the university Thursday. Prof. Fraeh-
l<cI will make another examination oi
his throat tomorrow morning and Wiil
then decide whether or not it VIII be
advisable FOR the ex- President to visit
the battle.
without making any definite state
ment regarding the condition in when
he found COL RooSevelt'S throat, the
physician explained that laiYnsttlS
often follows q long residence IN tht
tropics and that in his opinion the
hoarseness in the case is not due 10
the strain of speaking. Col. Roosevelt
he thinks. should be entirely recoV-
cred within week.
No word has yet come to Col Roosc-
Welt regarding the possibility OF MS
being named as special envoy I" the
funeral of King Edward.

DETROIT FANS WAITING
FOR SHORTST0P TO SIGN

If little "Donie" Bush would only
come across with his signed contract
Detroit fandom would heave one
mighty sigh Of relief right now.
The fact that he is still standing
very aloof is getting on the nerves
of the ardent a mirers of the agile
little shortstop. 1t isn't a silence that

dire.

that the speed wonder from Hoosier-

that one little chance i'm ten is enough
TO cause a world Of IVORY, just as a
similar instance did a couple of sea-
sons ago. with Ty Cobb as the reluc-
tant signer.
The cobwcbs have accumulated over

been absolutely nothing doing between

INDIANAPOLIS MAY GIT
NEXT CODE CUP EVENT
ARGUMENTS ARE PRESENTED

Chicago, Feb. 16.-Contestants I'm
the western stock chasslc race for the
Cobe trophy may wage the battle Of
cylinders over the two-and- one half
mile motor speedway at Indianapolis
this year, If plans outlined recently
by T.. A. Moross, promoter, bear fruit.
The man behind the hoosier speed oval
landed in Chicago Friday, armed with
strong argument to he presented be-
fore Ira NJ. Cobe of the Chicago Auto
mobile Club, and every effort will be
expended 10 stage the classic on the
brlcked circuit May 2S.
That the indianapolis course will
permit the drivers of high-powercd
cars To- attain terrific speed was DEM
onstrated In December, when Lewis
Strang piloted the 100 horse power Fiat
to worlds records. averaging almost
one hundred miles an hour. When the
Cobe race was run last June over the
Grown Point-Lowen road course the
winning car averaged less than fifty
miles an hour. But in that race the
cars were all listed as stock models
while the big Fiat is an out-andout
speed creation geared to 121 miles an
| hour.
| 81 understand the officials of the
| Automobile club contemplate running
| the next Cobe race over speedway
which Is still i'm the making" stated
/ n Of 40
opinion they will meet thousand OBJ
stacles in this work. In the first place
| the speedway cannot be complete
earlier than September and be i'm pro-
per condition for the speed machines.
Then in the event the officials under
took to stay the race, say i'm the fall
II would conflict with the Vanderbilt
the Lowell and the Fairmount Park
contests. Most of the big drivers
would be i'm the east, where the courses
i'm the past have been to the liking OF
the racing cars.
"My proposition to the Automobile
club is simply this: If the officials con-
sent TO having the race held on tho
| Indianapolis course lut ihdiiobNih'i'
will do everything in its power tC
bring about the success of the meet
ing. NV plan is to send several thou
sand tickets To the club to be Solo
among motorists in Illinois and sur
rounding states, and when the biz
count Is taken the Chicago club WIZ
receive 80 per cent. of all the money
realized from sales of tickets in this
city or in the states allotted the loca
officials"
The first meeting of 1910 will be hel'
at Indianapolis on May 27, % and 80
and all the big drivers Of the industry
will be entered for the various con
tests. If held at indianapolis the Cep'
race would be staged before crowd o
over 100000 people, and this gather
ing would seem as but small-size'
corporals guard if scattered about thu
vast plant.
