formed to the requirements Of the

TO SPEAK IN
MANY STATES
Roosevelt Will Make Series
Of Political Talks.
TRIP COVERS Big SECTION

Contemplated Tour Includes Twenty
four States in the West, Northwest
and South, in Each of Which He
Proposes to Deliver at Least One
Speech-Will Meet Leaders of All
Factions Prior to Beginning Trip.
Washington, June Theodore
Roosevelt will make a series of politi-
cal speeches during his triangular
swing through the West, Northwest
and South. He will confine himself to
one thorough and comprehensive re-
view of pending questions to be made
at a mass meeting in each state
through which he passes.
Colonel Roosevelt has made hi
plans known in a number of letters to
members of congress. In each of
these, especially those to progressives
and near progressives, he has added
the expression:
Il would be glad to see you and have
talk with you."
Except in the case of Hamilton Fish
and few others he did not specify
meeting in New York, but simply in
dicated wish that during his travels
he might meet every senator and rep
Tesentative from the states visited
and have general conversation on all
matters affecting their localities.
Trip Covers Score of States.
The former presidents junket will
take him through twenty-four states,
New York, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ill.
nois, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyo-
ming, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas,
Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Alaba-
ma, Georgia, Tennessee, South Caro-
lima, North Carolina, Virginia, Penn
sylvania, Maryland, Delaware and
New Jersey.
Aside from these two dozen speeches
ne proposes to fully inform himself as
to the changes that have taken place
since he left the United States for his
African trip. He is especially anxious
to learn all possible of the progressive
movement.
To gain the requisite knowledge the
former president has formally invited
a number of senators to confer with
him in New York before the period of
speechmaking begins. He has selected
both reactionaries and straightout pro-
gressives. Those requested to parti-
cipate in the talk did not receive per-
sonal letters, but message through a
central distributing point.

GOVERNMENT TO
SEEK INJUNCTION
Plans Legal Action to Pre-
vent Increased Rates.
CONFER AT WHITE HOUSE

President and Attorney General Wick.
ersham Discuss Situation in West.
ern Traffic Association Territory and
Decide to Begin Proceedings to
Head OFF the Order for an Advance
in Freight Charges.
Washington, June IA decision at
White House conference between
the president and Attorney General
Wickersham to institute at once in
junction proceedings, probably at st.
Louis, against the Western Traffic as
sociation to prevent general increase
in freight rates preceded by only half
an hour the introduction in the senate
of resolution by Senator La Toilette
declaring it to be the sense of that
body that such an injunction should be
brought.
None of the senators in the chamber
when Mr.. La Toilette put in his reso-
luton knew of the decision already
reached. Senator Crane of Massa-
chusetts, who saw the president at the
conclusion of the conference with the
attorney general, was the first to
take the news to the Capitol.
Attorney General Wickersham, after
attending the sitting of the United
States supreme court, had a series of
conferences with senators and it was
decided that Senator Curtis of Kansas
should make the reply to Senator La
Toilette if the resolution should again
be called up.
Western Protest Effective.
The decision to institute injunction
proceedings followed a conference in
this city between Attorney General
Wickersham and committee repre-.
senting shippers, consumers and pro-
ducers in the territory affected by the
proposed increase in rates.
President Taft regards this situation
as renewed evidence of the Importance
of the provision in the administration
railroad bill now pending in congress,
which, if enacted, will give the inter.
state commerce commission the right
to suspend for sixty days any proposed
increase in railroad rates. In this
period the commission, it is proposed,
shall institute an investigation to de-
termine whether or not the increase is
justified. If this provision were law
the Injunction proceedings Just au.
thorized would not be necessary.
1t is understood that the bill OF In.
junction has been prepared for several
days and that the text Of 1t has been
telegraphed to Chicago to be filed in
the United States court there.

London, June Theodore Roose-
welt was presented with the freedom
of the city of London and he accepted
the honor with a liberalism that led
him into a frankness of speech that
created a sensation in old Guild hall
and throughout England.
AS the former head of a country
that once paid tribute to Great Britain
the American statesman gave the
mother land some bold advice as to
her duty toward her most troublesome
dependency in Africa 1t was, Mr..
Roosevelt said, either right or not
right for Great Britain to be in Egypt
and establish order there. If it was
not right she should get out
Mr.. Roosevelt eulogized British rule
In Uganda and the Soudan. He also
declared that Great Britain had given
Egypt the best government that the
country has had in 1000 years, but in
certain vital points it had erred
Timidity and sentimentality, he said
might cause more harm than violence
and injustice.
"Sentimentality," he added, "is the
most broken reed upon which right
eousness can lean"
Denounces Nationalist Party.
Mr.. Roosevelt denounced the Nation.
alist party of Egypt as neither desir.
Gus nor capable of guaranteeing pri-
mary justice. 1t was trying to bring
murderous chaos upon the land.
Either it was or was not right for
Great Britain to be in Egypt and es
tablish order throughout that country
If it was not right to further this
purpose then the British should get
out. Some nation, said the former
president, must govern Egypt. He
hoped that the English would decide
that the duty was theirs.
AS a whole the speech constituted
the most forcible expression on for
eign topics that the distinguished Wis
itor has made during his European
tour. He dealt principally with the
British policy in Egypt, which is to
day one of the most discussed ot
Great Britain's colonial questions.
His outspoken views sent a thrill
through the 1000 auditors which is
likely to be felt outside the walls OF
the ancient council hall.
