Walk.

took the canal towpath, as furnishing
the most equal grade. He had not walk
ed well throughout the night. and had
only proceeded fifteen miles when he was
compelled to halt. Toward morning a
strong east wind set in. and this is
thought to have affected him. He sud
denly paused in his walk and said to
those who were with him that he could
walk no farther. sinking to the ground,
exhausted.
Afterward he was put to bed. where he
went to sleep almost Immediately. his
pulse was very weak, and it was thought
by those attending him that he would
not be able to proceed today. Chitten-
ango is thirty y-nine miles west of Utica.
Mr.. Weston left the farmhouse at which
ne had been resting at l o'clock this
afternoon. After resting all morning the
aged pedestrian recovered rapidly and
shortly after noon announced that he was
ready TO go ahead He was advised to
remain during the day, but he said that
he felt as we'll ever and that he
wanted to reach Utica tonight and remain
over Sunday in this city. 1t Is said that
his collapse was caused by something
he ate at the banquet given him In Syra-
cuse last night. The next place at which
report may be had from him 1s Canas-
tota.

VOTE NEXT WEDNESDAY
UNDERSTANDING IS REACHED
ON PUBLICITY BILL.
Senator Bailey Now in Favor OF Re-
porting the Mccall Bill as
It Passed House.

An understanding was reached today
in the Senate committee on privileges and
elections that vote would be taken next
Wednesday on the question of reporting
a bill providing for publicity of contri-
buttons to national campaign committees.
The meeting was attended by four repub-
licans and four democrats.
Senator Bailey has been the moving
spirit in the demands that the Senate
shall act on this matter at the present
session. He has bill of his own, but
now desires that the committee report
the Mccall bill, which was passed by
the House, in order to avoid any COM
'plications In conference that might i'm
peril the passage of the legislation.
The democrats of the House commit
tee on election of President. Vice Presi-
dent and representatives in Congress
charged their colleagues with attempting
to smother the Mccall bill in commit
tee. After these charges were made and
reiterated in public speeches the bill was
reported and passed. Democratic sena-
tors today said they desired to acquit
republicans of any such purpose. There
was no political discussion during the
proceedings today.

It May Be Threat.

SAsSJ
But the worst may be yet to come.
Horrifying rumors are afoat about the
Capitol to the effect that President Taft
may veto the rivers and harbors appro-
pr1ation bill. popularity known as the
pork bar'r' bill, since it carries susie
nance for many congressional ambitions
1t would be like losing the commissary
wagon In the midst Of a hard campaign
/ to have this bill vetoed just when re-
nominating conventions are assembling.
Whether there is any connection between
the circulation of this rumor-would it
be called threat?-and the suggestion
that the President is getting anxious
about his bills, is left to speculation
Be that as it may, there is in evidence
very sudden disposition on the part
| or congressman to sit up and take notice
| of the Presidents pending bills and to
turn to with a will and see what can be
done to pull them through.
Status .of the Bills.
Their status, briefly, is as follows:
Postal savings banks-Passed the Sen
ate and hung up In the House colnmittee
facing such opposition as may necessitate
calling a republican caucus to report It,
Statehood for .Arizona-One bill passed
the House and an entirely different meas
ure on the Senate calendar. Apparently
irreconcilable differences of opinion be-
tween the two houses.
Limitation of federal injunctions-Stil
| incubatipg in committees of both House
! and Senate.
| Conservation egislation-Progressing "a
vorably and likely soon to be perfected.
Railroad and interstate commerce legis.
lation-Doing 'about as well as could be
expected" considering the number Of doc.
tors that have the case in hand, each with
different remedies.
However. it is not thought likely that
1t will be another case Of Operations
White House Conferences.
The President today continued confer
ences with senators and representatives
as to the legislative outlook. and he Is
much pleased with the information he
| has received. In fact. he is more con-
fident now as to effective legislation than
he has been at any time since Con-
gress convened.
Senators Smith of Michigan, Jones of
| Washington, Ekins of West Virginia and
| Burton of Ohio told the chief executive
| as to the status Of various measures In
| the Senate. and made suggestions re-
garding their successful enactment. From

| Both houses of Congress will endeavor

conference in as short time as possi-
| BILE, Senator Elkins said today he thought

Entered Without Presentation.

According to the traditional custom of
the Academy of Moral and Political Sci
snces, Col. Roosevelt entered without for
NAL presentation.
Emile Boutroux. who presided. after the
customary routine business had been con-
cluded addressed the academy upon the
result of his observations made during his
recent visit to the United States regarding
the growth of education there. After de-
fscribing the conflict between general edu-
cation and specialization in studies and
dwelling upon the vast resources Of the
American universities, NJ. Boutroux took
Col. Roosevelts ideal as the highest type
OF man which American education sought
20 produce. quoting frequently Roosevelt s
own words in the exposition of his theme
From the doctrine that man who ac-
,complishes nothing and INDUCES only in
Icriticism is a parasite meriting only
lscorn, the speaker evolved RooseveIt's s
doctrine that man is born for action, to
work and to struggie-in other words for
the strenuous life. He said the aim of the
American ideals as enunciated by Roose-
welt was the development of an American
sole and fnseparable, regardless Of the
differences Of politics or religion.
While America was open to all comers
declared NJ. Boutroux, it recognized as
true citizens only those who were entirely
and exclusively Americans in heart and
aspiration. The American spirit, he said,
faith in the power Of honest effort, re-
epect for human dignity and religious
toleration. He dweit particularly on
Roosevelt's theory regarding the duty of
the rich. which. he said. substituted rich
es9e oblige for nobleSse obliEe.

Society's Debt to Mankind.

Continuing, M. Boutroux said that So
eiety does not owe happiness to all per-
sons. but owes to all the possibility of an
honest. comfortable life. The man with
out fortune should first work for his fam
lily. and with fortune he should work
for the public good. To devote life to
amassing gold was ignoble. 1t was
necessary to teach all the doctrine OF
work; to men of fortune the doctrine of
work without remuneration.
Such said NJ. Boutroux, were the doc
trines Of the man whom America recog-
nizes as its most authoritative reresenta-
tive, and whose return would be feted

former President of the United States. de-
hVered his eagerly awaited lecture on
Citizenship in Republic" in the Sor-
bonne this afternoon. His audience was
composed of all of the members of the
French cabinet, 800 students selected
from the University of Paris and many
distinguished guests. by whom the occa-
sion was regarded as the most important
feature of the distinguished Americans
visit to France.
In the course of his address. Mr.. Roose-
welt made reference to the subject of hu-
man rights and property rights in the
following paragraphs:
My position as regards the moneyed
interests can be put in a few words. In
every civilized society property rights
must be carefully safeguarded Ordi-
nariiy and in the great majority of cases
human rights and property rights are
fundamentally. and. in the long run,
identical; but when 1t clearly appears
that there is a real conflict between them
human rights must have the upper hand: /:
for property belongs to man and not man
MIR. Roosevelt spent today in the old
Latin quarter, across the Seine, which
Tor centuries has been one of the intel
lectual centers of the world. At o'clock
this afternoon. in his capacity as q for
eign member of the French Institute he
attended the regular session of the Acad-
emy of Moral and Political Sciences in
the conference hall of the old Mazarin
palace, which is now the home of the
institute. This room was selected in
stead OF the small room in which the
forty fmmortals" meet in order to per-
init the public to enter and because it is
the usual meeting place of three of the
academies, the Academy of Fine Arts,
the Academy of Inscriptions and Litera-
ture and the Academy OF Moral and Po-
litical Sciences.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt is entitled to
wear the green brocaded uniform Of an
acadenlician, he appeared today in his
familiar frock coat Dress. At 3 O'Clock
he delivered his lecture in the grand
aInphitheater of the Sorbonne, where he
was most cordially received. His remarks
