London, May 16.-The Roosevelt
party arrived here today and was met
at Victoria station by municipal and
official representatives of the British
government. The king sent the royal
carriage to convey the Roosevelts to
Dorchester house, the home of AM
bassador Reid. The morning papers
print columns of praise for the Am
erican. When official courtesies were
exchanged, Roosevelt proceeded to
buckingham castle where he viewed
the remains of Edward. He then
went to Marlborough house, where
Ambassador Reid presented him to
the king. The meeting was simple,
brief and cordial. George expressed

n. Y. papers criticize TAFT.

New York, May 16.-When Presi-
dent Taft was on the bench, he didn't
allow his subordlnates or litigants to
prepare tentative opinions for him, "
declared the New York World in an
editorial today, commenting on Tafts
letter Of explanation regarding the
latest sensation in the Ballinger in
vestigation. "He did not allow law
yers to antedate his briefs to meet the
claims of opposing counsel. He heard
the arguments, read the decisions and
decided the cases for himself. The
public rightfully assumed this was the
way Taft acted in the Ballinger case,
weighing the evidence and was not
Influenced by anything but the cold,
remorseless facts.
The country can no longer believe
this was Taft's attitude. In allowing
Attorney General Wickersham to tam
per with the date of his summary,
and Assistant Attorney General Law
Ter to prepare memorandum to help
in framing his decision, Taft divested
himself of the function Of judge and
must now be included among the at
torneys for the defense. The New
York Press said: I'VE think the pub
lie will be forced to the conclusion
that the president meant to do right
but was misled by the secretary of the
interior, the attorney general and
Others" 1t concluded by saying 1t be-
lieved the administration would be
benefited by the separation from 1t
Of Secretary Ballinger."

WIFE PAYS RANSOM
TO BRIGAND'S BAND

st. Petersberg.-M. Kosbeleff. a
wealthy merchant of the Caucasus
district, has had an experience that
rarely happens outside the covers of
a "Wild West" romance.
Recently he was taken prisoner by
brigands. who demanded for his re-
lease a ransom of $4,000. The money
was paid by the merchants wife in
5001rouble notes, the numbers Of
which she had previously taken.
A few days after his liberation,
Kosbeleff was playing at his club with
the local chief of police, when he was
astonished to see his opponent pay his
losses with some Of the identical notes
given for the merchants ransom. The
suspected dealings between the police
and the brigands are now the subject
of an official inquiry.

GERMANY FORCED TO
REMAIN IN WAR TRIM

Berlin.-That Germany will in the
near future take steps to secure
large expansion of the naval program
receives striking corroboration in the
Weserzeitung, an influential newspa-
per published in Bremen. The jour-
nal says:
"The tremendous efforts which
France is making to enlarge her fleet
of submarines. and the colossal exer-
tions of Great Britain to construct
her Dreadnoughts, show that cessation
in thes extension of Germany arma-
ments will be impossible.
"If the British and French govern
ments force the pace in ship-b building
as at present, the German admiralty
will have no choice but to take such
measures as are necessary to- provide
an adequate protection against such
gigantic fleets.
After having made inquiries in Of
ficial quarters. we consider it by no
means improbable that after the full
fillment of the provisions of the navy
act of 1909, the imperial German gov
ernment will be obliged to put for
ward legislative proposals for a more
extended and more powerful coast de-
tense.
xwhether this necessary coast de-
fense will be secured by the enlarge
ment Of our flotilla of submarines, or
by the building of substitutes for bat
tleships which are becoming obsolete,
or by the creation of squadron of
auxiliary airships is still open to
question"
The "weserzeitung," which is a rad
ical organ. adds the following edito-
rial comment: This prospect Of an
other acceleration in the rate OF ma
val shipbuilding can only be describ-
ed as terrible"

WILL EARTH PASS THROUGH
TAIL OF HALLEY'S COMET?

New York, N. Y, May 16.-Halley's
comet will cross the disk of the sun
Wednesday. Astronomers disagree on
the question as to whether the tail
will extend through space far enough
to enwrap the earth. Calculations by
Semmrigg, of Austria. indicate the
tail Is twenty million miles long. If
his figures are correct. the earth will
only be 100000 miles away. and so
will pass through the tail. The tail
is supposed to be extremely tenuous
and gaseous, but most scientists
agree that it doesn't contain any me-
teors. There is no probability that
there will be any sensible affect on the
earth's atmosphere. 1t is likely there
will be an aurora.
