FEARS ABOUT
ROOSEVELT
English Politicians Think the
Colonel viii Say a Few
Things
HAS CAUSED A FEELING
OF ANXIETY In LONDON

BY United Press Leased Special wire.
LONDON. April English politicians
are apprehensive to-day lest Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt spring his next
sensation on English soil and that
somebody is going 20 be fearfully hard
hit by IT,
For publication English politicians
uniformly and conventionally express
extreme pleasure regarding Roosevelt's
coming visit to London on May I. but
the truth is they can IN conceal the
fear that possesses most Of them that
the colonel win lose another bolt while
here.
At Khartoum. it was Colonel Roose-
vet's vigorous appeal for submission
to English rule that stirred the press
Of the world. at Carlo IL was his Sc
we're castigation of the Nationalists and
at Rome his refusal 70 be received by
the Pope on the conditions laid down
by the Vatican.
IL is significant that Roosevelts visit
to London will be at the time of a criti-
cal political situation and possibly
simultaneous with another national
election. There are few who believe
that the colonel will be able to re-
frain from voicing his sympathies and
conclusions and It is admitted that
such an expression from a man Of his
calibre win have the most far-reach-
ing consequences.
II is realized by all that If the Col
onel makes up his mind to SAY few
/ things" regarding the situation I'm
England. nothing can dissuade him.
The present apprehension therefore
resembles feeling of helpless antici-
patton. although the possible delivery
by the ex-President were the workings
/ Of fate
Despite the feeling Of anxiety, there
is nothing but admiration for Roose-
velts irrepressibility and fearlessness
To-day's papers go into the Roosevelt
Vatican incident more fully than on yel
terday and they are practically unani
nous in the opinion that the Vatican'l
explanation Of its course is unsatsfac
/ tory.

This reception was to be a public affair.

looked upon as taking the place Of a call
by the Colonel upon tho Methodist Church.
Religious federation.
The prime purpose Of the reception was
TO emphasize tho religious liberation for
which Roosevelt stands and it was for
this purpose tho President took offense at
Rev Mr.. Tipple's statement IN which he
fercely attacked tho Vatican on It's treat
ment OF Roosevelt, tho very thing that
Roosevelt was trying to avoid.
The following statement was made by
the Colonel IN connection with the calling
OF OF to-morrow's reception:
81 had made no arrangements 10 speac
at any church or clerical organization IN
Rome. / have received number OF gem
tlemen of an religious faiths who have
called at my rooms or at the embassy.
Under the circumstances have requested
the American ambassador not TO hold the
reception which he had Intended to hold
on Wednesday afternoon.
AS regards all efforts by whornsoever
anlmoatles because Of what has occurred
In connection with the Vatican and my

What worried him. however. Is the fear
that his host OF Catholic friends IN Amer
lea may not fully understand the situa-
tlon from lack OF Information.
The Colonel expressed this doubt to-day
TO tho United Press correspondent and
then asked:

MACLEAN BOOMS

Board Of Trade President Tells
Spokane Folk They Have
a Great City

SPOKANE, Wash. April 5.-R. J..
Maclean, president of the Board of
Trade of Wilmington, Del, while here
recently was the principal speakers at
the luncheon and business meeting of
the board of directors of the chamber
Of commerce, which was attended by
300 members of the organization and
was accorded a typical western re-
ceptiOn by some of the leading busi-
ness and professional men of Spokane.
Afterward, he said among other things
in an interview:
Il have visited score sof cities in
various parts of America in the last
few weeks. but Spokane has a marked
individuality, the most remarkable
phase being it's residential districts.
where every block contains beautiful
homes of different designs.
Before becoming president Of the
Wilmington Board of Trade, to which
Office / find it necessary to give my
entire time. was in educational work,
and 1 might say that I am still in
educational work, for my visit to the
west and all over the country is to
study the workings of the chambers
of commerce and the boards of trade,
consider the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce, after my investigation of
its affairs and methods of donng busl
ness. the best organized body in the
country.
Circumstances undoubtedly have
helped to make the organization what
it is. as the city is the logical center
of the industries of the surrounding
country. Eastern cities are so close
to each other that there is more in
terweaving of the business interests
of the various municipalities. while
in this country the activity of the
chamber might be called the seismo-
graph of the business OF the Inland
Empire Of the Pacific Northwest"
