ROOSEVELT WILL BE
GUEST OF EMPEROR

Berlin, April 2.-Emperor William
has formally invited ex-President
Roosevelt to be his personal guest at
the palace for three of the five days
Col. Roosevelt will spend in Berlin.
The ex-president will arrive here on
the evening of May and will be en-
tertained. by David Jayne Hill, the
American ambassador, until the 18th,
when the emperor will return to the
capital from the provinces. Then Col.
Roosevelt will go to the palace.
The emperor will throw court prece-
dence to the winds during Col Roose-
velt's stay. The masters of ceremon-
les and the court chamberlains are dis
mayed by the emperors determination
to give private. and nonofficia1 per-
son precedence at the dinners and
elsewhere over everybody, even the
royal princes. The expectation is that
the emperor, who has given much
distinguished American guest, is pre-
pairing surprises for three days in
which he will give up to the ex-presi-
dent the most of his time.
what do you think Mr.. Roosevelt
would like to see in Berlin?" inquired
the emperor of President Wheeler, of
the University of California, few
days before the professor left for
home.
Men," said Prof. Wheeler. "Mr.
Roosevelt would, think, prefer, above
other things, to meet representative
German men,"
Prof. Wheeler also thought Mr..
Roosevelt might like to hear some
good music, to see one or two CALLER
les and to visit Frederick the Greats
country house, "Sans Souci," at Pots
dam.
While the emperor did not say d.
rectly he would follow the suggested
outline, it is likely he will have a dis
tinguished company to dine with Mr..
Roosevelt and will arrange for an
opera in his honor.
The University of Berlin will bestow
the degree of doctor of laws upon Col.
Roosevelt. While the senate of the
university has not yet acted upon the
suggestion, it will be brought before
that body by the rector and no doubt
will be approved.

CHARTER FOR SECOND
SEATTLE TACOMA LINE

Seattle, April 2.-Following the
granting by the county commissioners
of fifty-year franchise to the Seattle
Tacoma Short Line, covering the use
of county roads at crossings, and of
certain portions of the roads between
Seattle and the Pierce county line,
Frederick H. Murray, general counsel
of the road, announced that construc-
ton work will commence within sixty
days, and that the entire line will be
completed in from twelve to eighteen
months.
The survey, which is largely over
right-of-way already acquired, shows
a distance between Seattle and Ia
coma of twenty-nine miles, which Muir
ray says fast trains will cover in one
hour.

been done by Protestants and Catho-
lies alike, as / saw it, in the field of
endeavor, it would cause
me a real pang to have anything said
or done that would hurt or give pain
to my friends, whatever their religious
belief. But my merely personal con-
siderations are of no consequence in
this matter. The important considera-
ton is the avoidance of harsh and
bitter comment such as may excite
mistrust and anger between and
among good men.
Grateful for liberation.
"The more an American sees of 9TH
er countries. the more profound must
be his feelings of gratitude that in his
own land there is not merely complete
liberation, but the heartiest goodwill
and sympathy between sincere and
honest men of different faiths - good
will and sympathy so complete that in
the innumerable relations of our daily
life Catholics and Protestants meet
together and work together without
thought of the difference of creed be-
ing even present in their minds.
This is a condition so vital to our
national well-being that nothing should
be permitted to jeopardize it. To
seize upon such an incident as this as
an occasion for controversy would be
wholly indefensible, and should be
frowned upon by Catholics and Protest
ants alike, and all good Americans"
The failure to arrange an audience
between Col Roosevelt and the pope,
which was known only in certain cir
cles yesterday, is expected to create a
tremendous stir here, as well as
abroad, far overshadowing the import
ance of the incident in which former
Vice-President Fairbanks was the prin-
cipal.

SAGE MONEY TO BE USED
TO FIGHT LOAN SHARKS

New York, April Mrs. Russell
Sage has inaugurated a Statewide plan
to thwart the loan sharks who fatten
upon the necessities of the poor. She
has returned from her trip across the
continent 10 put into immediate effect
measures to save the unfortunate from
the exactions of the usurer.
The Sage millions will capitalize a
chain of model loan establishments
which will advance money to the poor
on their household goods at the legal
rate of interest.
The plan has been prepared by the
Sage Foundation, in cooperation with
Orion H. Cheney, State superintendent
of banks, and awaits only Mrs. Sage's
final approval.
Mr.. Cheney, who has been waging
a bitter war upon the loan sharks, said
today:
when the Sage Foundation enters
this field not only will it accomplish
most worthy mission but at the same
time it can be made financially profit
able. The concerns which take unfair
advantage of the unfortunates who are
financially embarrassed will be either
driven out of the business or forced to
conduct their business on the same fair
basis as the Sage Foundation"
Mr.. Cheney said he believed the poor
who have to resort to the securing of
loans on their furniture should be
cared for in nreferenca tn tho class
that secures advances on salary.

Philadelphia, April 2.-Following the
lead of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.,
which has given per cent. wage in
crease to $4,000 employees on all roads
connected with its system east and
west of Pittsburg, came an announce
ment from the Philadelphia & Reading
Co. of a similar advance to it's men.
Like that of the Pennsylvania, the
Readings increases affect all employees
whose wages are less than $500 a
month. The Readings advance, how
ever, does not include those employees
whose wages have been adjusted with
in the last 80 days. Including these,
the raise affects about 81 GOO employees.
The prosperous condition of the
roads and the high cost Of living are
given as the reasons for the increases.

st. Paul, Mimi. Sept 16.-James j.
Hill. affectionateiy known as Jim"
in the Northwest. which he has done
so much to populate and develop, is
today celebrating his seventy-second
birthday. At an age when most men
are ready to "go away back and sit
down." the famous railway magnate
continues lively and clipper. His
brain is apparently as active as ever,
and he seldom loses an opportunity
to express decided opinions on mat
ters of public importance in which he
is intereste. First and foremost q
railroad man, his viewpoint Is often
that of the distributor rather than
the producer or the consumer. but no
man in the Northwest doubts that
Jim" Hill always has the welfare of
the country at heart. His address be-
fore the recent National Conserva-
tion Congress was one of the hits OF
the session.
