weather was fine; in fact. rain had fallen

probabilities Of heat So London on that bright

annual holiday. and such time London is the gayest
and live.est city IN the world,
And then, wholly independent of the weather, there
was the Great Question.
From The hour when the first bus rumbled Cityward

FRANK KELLOGG TO
MEET ROOSEVELT

ST. Paul, Mimi, May 7.-(Special)-Be-
fore many days have elapsed the heads
OF former President Roosevelt and his
specially appointed trust buster will be
together In some more or less secluded
spot in Europe. 1t became known today
that Frank B. Kellogg is speeding across
the Atlantic In response to an urgent
summons by Colonel Roosevelt. Within
a month the same vessel will bear them
together to America
Among the first of the letters which
Colonel Roosevelt is credited with having
written to his personal and political
friends was one to Mr.. Kellogg. but at
that time the st. Paul attorney could not
respond. A subsequent epistle, however
seemed to brook no delay, and Mr. and
Mrs. Kellogg quietly took their course
Europeward.
There Is nothing upon which to base
ANY thing more than a surmise of the sub
ject matter of the conversation to follow
the meeting of these two men. Mr.. KEEL
logg has imbibed enough atmosphere of
the former President in touch with poit-
ical conditions at home, and those who
have conversed with the government pros
ecutor say he entertains views sufficient
ly pronounced to be of interest to the
jungle hunter.
The information about the reason for
Mr.. Kcllogg's trip came to st. Paul to-
day in a private letter from him.

BALLINGER WILL
KILL MORE SNAKES

Washington, May AFTER being dra-
matically interrupted at the morning ses-
sion by Special Agent H. T. Jones, the
intimate friend of Louis R.. CLAWS, who
indirectly questioned a. statement made
by the witness, SecretarA Ballinger, at
the afternoon session of The Ballinger-
Pinchot investigating committee, served
notice that II he continued as the head
Of the interior department there was
going to be some more snake killing"
and that 1t would be kept up until the
last snake was dead.
Attorney Brandeis, who has been cross
examining the secretary for the past
three days, wanted to know Just who
was to be dropped from the service, but
Mr.. Ballinger said this would be known
in good time. @
III I am to continue to conduct the
affairs of the department" said the sec
rotary, ut will be with the loyal support
Of every man in the department.
Mr.. Brandeis and Ballinger got along
better today and there were fewer clashes
than on yesterday. This was probably
due to the fact that the examination
took less interesting turn. and having
to do largely with documentary evidence
and also to the fact that the attorney was
constantly interrupted by members of the
committee. 1t was necessary for the
photographers often to go back over sew.

ton last asked by the attorney.
The committee will meet on Friday
next week in the hope that the cross
examination OF Secretary Ballinger may
be concluded then -

Twelve beautiful show girls will stand

they will strew before the President upon

and even the suburbs, will send their en-
tire companies to the opening exercises.
Over $4,000 has been spent in prepare
lions. and It will be conducted on a more
lavish scale than the one held Is years

MILLIONS PAID ON
KING EDWARDS LIFE

London, May 7.-(Special )-Lloyds will
pay several million pounds sterling of
insurance on King Edwards life. Theat-
RIGA, managers, promoters Of exhibitions,
merchants whose success in trade de-
pend a gay season, all protected
themselves against complete loss by in
sIring his majesty's life. Lloyds ac-
cepted the risk as late as yesterday
afternoon at IS guineas per cent After
King Edward was operated on for APP
pendictis in 1851 Lloyds demanded so
guineas per cent to insure him.
The effect of Edwards death on Lon
don trade is exciting the gloomiest appre-
tensions. The fashionable hotels, which
had their rooms booked up from next
week to the middle of July. are having
tho bookings Cancelled by wholesale. Many
rich Americans who intended making
London their chief stopping place this
summer are going to the continent in
stead.
House agents are having town houses
thrown back on their hands and numer
Gus important English families have de-
cided not to open their West End man
sions this summer. The vast body Of
servants of all kinds and walters, whose
chief livelihood Is gained from April to
the end of July, can find no employ
ment, the big hotel keepers and caterers
having resolved to keep down their stats
to the lowest limit.
Great distress Is anticipated among this
class, who are dependent for their liv-
ing on social functions The taxicab
men are in despair and large numbers
of new taxicabs. purchased for the sea-
sons pressure, cannot now be put on the
streets. The drivers engaged are being
dispensed with.
But the heaviest losses will fall on the
costumers and miliners, who find their
vast stocks of costly dresses ana stuffs
lying unasalable on their hands. Few
women buy new mourning, SO the dress
makers will benefit little by the court
order to wear 1t.
All theatres are closed until after the
funeral, which means loss of 10 days
pay to the employees. Railroad excur-
sions have been Cancelled and in every
direction the depressing effect of King
Edwards death Is making Itself felt.
King George is expected to make an APP
peal to the public in the next few days,
or possibly after the funeral to resume
ordinary pleasures, SO that the beginning
of his reign may not be associated with
loss and suffering to his subjects.

resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Bartholdt, republican of Missouri
proposing to empower the President to
appoint commission of five members
to consider and report upon means or
establishing universal peace. The Ian
guage of the resolution would commit
Congress In favor of an international
federation court, which would deter.
mine by decree all disputes arising be-
tween nations with authority to enforce
its decisions by the arrangements of
the federation TO be provided and con-
trolled by 1t.
Oscar T.. Crosby of Warrenton, Va,
who appeared for the Worlds Fedora
ton league, argued eloquently for the
adoption of the resolution.
President e. F. Richards, president of
the National German Alliance, and w.
j. Ledoux, representing the Interna-

addressed the committee.
