Holland Hears
Williams Threat
to Occupy Land
Report Emperor May Act Unless
Country is Defended Against
England.

THE HAGUE, Feb. 9.--The reports that
Emperor William at one time threatened
to occupy Holland unless that country was
placed in a state Of defepse against the
possible discomfort OF the English were
given a more definite form In the first
chamber Of the states general this after
noon during a discussion of the Foreign
office estimates for the year.
Baron Won Heckeren urgently demanded
that steps be taken to secure a guaranty of
the integrity of The Netherlands in the
event OF trouble between Germany and
Great Britain and gave as a reason that
"a neighboring sovereign intimated a few
years ago that he would be Obliged to
have Dutch territory occupied II Holland
did not place itself in an adequate state Of
defense against Great Britain"
Foreign Minister Van Swinderen de-
olared he was not in a position to refute
Heckeren's assertion unless the latter ex-
planned precisely what was meant by the
words "neighboring sovereign" and 'in-
timated."
He urged Heckeren In the interest Of the
country to be more explicit. The latter
however, had no more to say and the
matter was dropped without further light

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-President Taft
To-Day was given fun details of the plans
formulatsd for the reception to be rendered
former President Roosevelt on his arrival
in New York some time between June Is
and 2
Colonel John A. Stewart, president OF The
New York State League OF Republican
Clubs. and representatives of the repub-
lican clubs Of New York City discussed the
matter with the president for half an hour
or more and told him the committee would
undoubtedly extend a formal invitation for
him to be present at New York as the guest
of honor.
In the cablegram received in New York
yesterday Mr.. Roosevelt stated he would
be glad to accept a reception provided 1t
was made a simple affair and was ten
dered on the day OF his arrival.
Colonel Stewart said the idea now was
to have the steamer on which Mr.. Roose-
welt arrives met down the bay by a fleet
of yachts and harbor craft and that there
be land parade of some sort
Taft viii welcome Him.
The plan for President Taft's participa-
ton is to have him present in New York
so that MIR. Roosevelt may call upon him

Roosevelt will be the principal speakers
Colonel Stewart said the reception was
to be kept free of any suspicion of fac
tionai politics and there was nothing of the
return from Elba" movement connected
with II.
President Taft had hoped to go to Alaska
during the coming spring. but indications
are that he will not be able to make the
trip unless congress adjourns early in May
The president said he would not go tC
Alaska unless he could be back in this
country June 20, when his son, Robert A.
Taft, graduates from Yale. Under these
circumstances 1t is very probable the presi
dent will be able to be in New York wher
Mr.. Roosevelt returns from his African
expedition.
The president was told by Colonel Stew
art he would be informed of the details
planned for the reception as they progress
and that his wishes would be consulted
and will outweigh any other consideration
