MEETING MANY FRIENDS
Colonel Roosevelt Going Out but Lit
tie and Accepting No Dinner In
VftatiOns In London.

London. May 1S.-Mr. Roosevelt is
seeing many personal friends at Dor
chester house, the home of American
Ambassador Reid, but is going out very
little and is accepting no dinner inyi-
tations. On Friday he will be present
at the funeral of King Edward in his
capacity as a special am AMBASSADOR of the
United States.
The appointment of Henry White,
former American ambassador TO France,
as the diplomatic delegate from the.
United States to the royal obsequies, is
regarded at court as a thoughtful act
by President Taft because Mr.. White
had long. known King Edward. Mr..
White was appointed second secretary
of the American legation in London in
1854 and was promoted to secretary two
years later.
Subs quently he Yves recalled by
President Cleveland, but returned as
secretary in 1897, continuing in that
office until 1907, when he was appoint
ed ambassador TO Italy.
MI Roosevelt began the day with
long talk with his old friend Seth Bull
lock, United States marshal in South
Dakota Mr.. Bullock had luncheon
with Secretary Phillips Of the American
embassy.

COUNCIL TAKES STEPS
TO AVERT EXPLOSIONS

Remembering the recent explosion of
dynamite in the vicinity of Warm
Springs and former accidents of the
kind, the city council passed an ordi-
nance last night making 1T a misde-
meanor to allow car containing dyna-
mite, giant powder, Hercules powder or
nitroglycerine TO remain on any rail-
road track inside the city limits for
more than ten minutes at a time.
The ordinance also provides that no
dealer or individual shall keep more
than One-pOund sample of any high
explosive in his place of business.
Immediate action was urged by mem
berS of the council favoring the meas
ure, and it was passed over three read
ings and made effective by unanimous
vote. Along with the ordinance the
council passed a resolution directing
that all the powder ma gazines be
moved outside the city limits within 20
days.
The council received an application
for franchise for spur track from
the Denver & Rio Grande main line
at Fourth West and Sixth South streets
to the yards of the Anderson Taylor
Lumber company, and it was evident
that this would meet with some opposi-
ton.
The question of making two sidewalk
districts, to include all of the territory
inside the city limits not now embraced
in a district was passed until next Mon
day night, as was a similar ordinance
with regard TO the creation of paving
districts.

on sinking steamer, $50 passengers,

the rapid current, struck the large
sandbar squarely, crushing in the en-
tire starboard side OF the boat

women began to scream, SHE'S sink
irg; she's sinking.
Instantly the officers and crew
found themselves III the midst of
struggling mass of humanity.
The boat was headed for the shore.
but before shallow water was reached
it listed to starboard, submerging half
the deck. A few people jumped over
board. but they were rescued without
difficulty Officers of the government
steamer Missouri, seeing the plight of
the Uncle Sam, rushed to the rescue.
The crew of the excursion boat found
it impossible to use the lifebcats.
In less than ten minutes after the
boat struck every passenger was taken
off safely
The boat was $50 feet long and So
feet beam The loss is estimated at
$4,000
