ROOSEVELT AND ROOT MEET
Former President and Senator Confer
in London.

in London.
London, May 81. E~x-President
Roosevelt has had an opportunity to
hear something of affairs in the Unit
ed States. BY appointment he met
Senator Elihu Root, who is passing
through London on his way to The
Hague. Mr.. Roosevelt and his former
secretary of state had a long talk at
Ambassador Reid's residence, Dorches-
ter House. Asked later what inter-
esting subject kept them together for
so long a time Mr. Roosevelt laugh
ingly replied:
"This is one of the cases in which
I must observe my usual reticence."
Mr.. Roosevelt made a call on Mrs.
Humphrey Ward, with whom he took
tea. He dined with Lord Charles
Beresford, whose guests included
many prominent members of the Un-
ionist party. Ambassador Reid also
was present, as were Admiral Sir Ed
ward Hobart Seymour, Admiral Sir
Girard Noel, Vice Admiral Sir He'd
worth Lambton, Lord Roberts, Lord

SURPRISE TO REGULARS
Senate Progressives Amend the
Railroad Measure

Washington, May 28.-Interstate tel
egraph and telephone companies were
suddenly popped under control Of the
interstate commerce commission by a
viva voce vote of the senate, almost
without debate; and before some of the
%bewildered senators fully understood
the exact Importance of the amend
ment that was being placed in the rail-
road bill. The adoption of the propo.
sirion by the senate makes it certain
that in future telegraph and telephone
companies that cross state lines will
be compelled to conform to the inter-
state commerce act, as a similar pro-
vision is in the railroad bill as passed
by the house. Thus the amendment
cannot be dropped in conference, al
though it will have to be modified, as
the senate and house provisions are
not identical.

R M BURNED TO DEATH
Another Man Barely Escapes the
Same Fate.

Sensational was the rescue Of Jo-
seph Hennessey from the burning Sou
dan livery barn at Conway when G. H.
Philstrom fought his way through the
darkness and dense smoke to the un-
conscious form of the young man,
whom he dragged from the building
through the flames.
Gilbert Landrum, a prominent farm
er residing near Inkster, was burned
to death. He was lying only two or
three feet from Hennessey when Phil.
strom invaded the structure. Ian.
drums presence in the building was
not known until two hours afterwards
when the charred remains were dis
covered.
In addition to the one fatality,
eleven horses were cremated.
Six thousand dollars loss was sus.
tanned. Two small buildings adjoin-
ing the livery barn were also de-
stroyed, entailing another $1,000 loss.

trict court in North Dakota has ever

Two oil the most important cases
are those of Jack Bouye and Pat Nee

WONDERFUL AIRSHIP FLIGHT
Curtiss Makes More Than Fifty Miles
an Hour, .

New York, May 31.-Glenn H. Cur
tiss flew from Albany to New York
city in an aeroplane, winning the s1O,-
600 prize offered by the New York
World. He covered the distance of
1877 miles in 2 hours and 80 minutes
and came to earth as lightly as a
pigeon. His average speed for the
distance, 54.O6 miles an hour, sur
passed any record ever made by an
aerop]ane in long distance flight and
in its entirety his feat perhaps eclipses
anything mar has attempted in a heav-
Ter than air machine.
Paulhan's flight from London to
Manchester, 1856 miles, exceeded the
Curtiss feat in distance, but not in
speed and danger. The Frenchman's
average "a 44.3 miles an hour and
below him lay meadow land. Curtiss
followed the winding course of the
Hudson, with jutting headlands, wood
ed slopes and treacherous palisades.

citizen that justified criticism.
Former Secretary Garfield and for.
mer Forester Pinchot were bitterly
