dent Roosevelt discussed the subject
of international peace" before the
Nobel prize committee, most of them
royal and personages distinguished
in the political, educational, CONNER
cial and social life of Norway.

the members of which are elected by
the Norwegian storthing, that in 1906
conferred on the then president of the
United States its medal and money
award in recognition of his services
in bringing to a conclusion the Russo
Japanese war. The occasion was the
feature of Mr.. Roosevelt's visit to
Norway and one of the most notable
of his European tour
Copies of the address had been
distributed in advance among the
press and this afternoon and tomor-
row morning the views of the former
president will be published in every
country of Europe.
Mr.. 'Roosevelt's discourse was made
with something of the solemnity of a
religious service in the largest audi
forum of Christiania, the national
theater, and in the presence of King
Haakon, Queen Maud and members of
the cabinet and parliament and of
hundreds of most progressive and il.
fiuential personalities in the kingdom.

A COUNTY CLERK
OUT OF OFFICE
GEORGE POELL OF GRAND is.
LAND TENDERS RESIGNATION.
HE WAS TAKING EXCESS FEES
Having Raised Receipts of Employees
in His Office, an investigation Fore
ed Nebraska County Clerk to Re-
sign-Returns $500 of the Money.

Grand Island May 5,-Late yester
day afternoon George Poell, county
clerk, handed in his resignation Mr.
Poell was declared to have raised Ger.
tain receipts of employees in his of
flee and thus to have retained fees
unrightfully. The day after the in
vestigation began Poell turned over
$500 of excess fees that had been re-
tanned by him for several years.
The resignation came as the result
of a conference with Supervisor Slew.
ers, Poell's attorney and w. H..
Thompson. The majority members
of the board, who are democrats, in
Dictated plainly that had the resigna-
ton not been offered it would have
been insisted upon Poell is also a
democrat.
Richard BuenZ, who was a candi-
date for the democratic nomination
at the last primary, was chosen by
the majority members as the success
sor. lie will take charge of the of
flee as soon as he can qualify. In
his resignation Mr.. Poeh claims he
has turned in every dollar rightfully
belonging to the county and asks for
the investigation of the rest of his
term of his office. 1t is said in Poell's
behalf that he raised the receipts to
cover up the shortcomings of some
one else in his office.
AS evidence that there was nothing
political in the ordering of the in
vestigation it is cited that while this
was done on the motion OF republi-
can member, the members of the mi
nority acquiesced in the appointment
of the democratic successor.

A MlX-UP IN CHINA.
Race Riots Place Government in En-

Changhsha, China, May 5.-The re-
cent rioting in this province has now
placed the Chinese government in an
embarrassing position, regarding the
Hankow-Canton railway loan.
Evidence accumulated that the dis
turbance was deliberately planned by
influential positions as a warning to
the central authorities not to NEEDLE

to make plain the determined opin-

Millions of Chinese are imbued with
the idea that the government is yield

THE HOOKER COUNTY TRIAL.
Court Has Not Yet Ruled on Mcintyre
Appeal for More Time.

Mullen, Neb., May 5.-The Hooker
county district court convened with
Judge Hanna presiding. At this time
it is not known whether or not the
Mcintyre murder case will be heard
at this term. The defendant has ap-
pealed for time in which further to
prepare for trial, and the court has
not yet ruled on the application.

important witness in this case and
who had gone to Tenino, Wash, on a
visit to a sister residing there, was
brought here Sunday morning and is
being held by Sheriff Cloyd without
bail to testify in the case. 1t is ex-
pected that Rector will corroborate the
affidavit of Frank Cleavenger, charg-
ing the crime to Harry G. Mcintyre.
Reports purporting to have been dis
patches from here telling of high
tension in public feeling, cannot be
confirmed. Law and order, in the
strictest sense of the term, have pre-

A TILT IN The SENATE

Washington, May 5.-The word in
sulting" was used in a debate in the
senate. 1t was applied by Senator
Hepburn to remarks made concerning
him by Senator Buckley. The Idaho
senator was discussing postoffice
department bill, when he stated that
in order to insure their reaching their
destination he was compelled to regis
ter all the United States maps sent
out by him.
Mr.. Buckley interpreted this state
ment as reflection on the postoffice
department and in defense said he
had had a contrary experience. He
added that he did not know why there
should be a difficulty between Idaho
and Connecticut. Something about
his manner caused senators to laugh
and the manifestation of mirth pro-
voked a protest from Senator Hey
burn who declared Mr.. Bulkeley's re-
marks were insulting" and that 1t
was regrettable that the senate
should be turned into "giggling
school,
Responding, Mr.. Buckley said that
if the Idaho senator's maps were lost
he had a right to complain and con-
corning Mr.. Hepburn said:
His very presence on the floor is
apt to cause little amusement" If
this statement was meant to have a
modifying effect it went wide from the
mark. Mr.. Hepburn appealed to the
chair.
mo senator on this floor is entitled
to make remark so full of intention
al insult as that spoken by the SEN
ator from Connecticut" he said. THE
, rules provide protection against such
treatment"
Mr.. Buckley was beginning to say
! that he had merely undertaken to
defend the postoffice department, but
! Mr. Hepburn would not permit him to
proceed. He demanded a ruling on
the question of privilege which he had
raised. Yielding, the vice president
held the remark of the Connecticut
senator to be in disparagement of his
Idaho colleague. Mr.. Buckley was pro
ceeding to say that if he had said any
thing that was disturbing to the peace
of mind of the senator from Idaho he
would withdraw the remark. Ever
this did not satisfy Mr., Hepburn, bu
the chair held it to be sufficient
amends and the incident closed.

from the President Written Last
Fall, Saying Pinchot Suspected Peo-
pie Who Differed in Opinion.
Washington, May 5,--"It was not a
fair or truthful statement" exclaimed
Secretary Ballinger during the Bal.
lingerPinchot investigation today re-
ferring to a sentence in former Secre-
tary Garfield's letter to the president
last November which read:
He (Ballnger) directed the recla-
nation service to prepare lists for re-
storing the withdrawn lands, but to
do so slowly in order not to attract
public attention"
Roosevelt Acted Illegally
Mr.. Ballinger said that while he had
no desire to reflect on the previous
administration which had withdrawn
the lands-unlawfully he believed
he had issued no such order and that
all the lands actually had been re.
stored within a period of three weeks.
Another statement in the same let
ter was disputed by Mr.. Ballinger
Near the end of his letter Mr. Garfield
said the plan of the reclamation SER
vice for the issuance of cooperative
certificates had been approved by the
senate committee on irrigation. Mr.
Ballinger read an affidavit from the
secretary of the committee to the eff
feet that he haid failed to find any
such approval in the records of the
committee for the past seven years.
AS the reason for his having re-
withdrawn power sites he had pre-
viOusly restored, Mr.. Ballinger said
he feared they might be taken up
pending action by congress giving the
president the power to withdraw them.
He admitted that he had no more le-
gal authority for his action than had
Mr.. Garfield.
Taft Criticised Pinchot.
AT the afternoon session of the in
vestigating committee Mr.. Ballinger
said that since Pinchots dismissal
there has been a reversal of the pol.
icy of the forestry bureau which held
full sway when Pinchot was in charge.
Secretary Balliuser read to the com.
mittee letter received from the pres
ident last September in which Mr..
Taft said "the weakness of Pinchot
lay in his inability to credit high and
honorable motives to those who differ
with him as to his method of doing
things"
