Honored in Europe.
EXCITING INCIDENT IN ROME
Former President Delivered Scholarly
Lectures In Paris, Berlin and OK
ford-Represented His Country
at King Edwards Funeral.

Scarcely less interesting than his
hunting trip In Africa, and at times
almost as exciting, were the adven-
lures Of Col. Theodore Roosevelt in;
Europe. There he desired to be treat
ed as q man of letters and science,
rather than as sportsman, and his
desire was gratifed. But in addition,
Europe insisted on receiving him as
the most distinguished American of
the time, and everywhere he went
honors were showered on him. En-
perors, kings, princes and all manner
of royalties and nobility greeted him,
d1ned him and toasted him, and the
people in all the lands that he visited
turned out in vast throngs to see him
and cheer him.
In Paris, Christian1a, Berlin and OK
ford Mr.. Roosevelt delivered scholarly
public addresses and the literary and
scientific circles opened to let him in
and marveled at the wide scope of his
knowledge.
The event connected with Mr..
Roosevelt's European tour that
aroused the most interest and excite
ment occurred Immediately after his
arrival in Italy early in April Before
he left Africa his desire to pay his
respects to the pope had been con-
veyed to the Vatican and the holy
father had int1mated that he would be
glad to see the distinguished Ameri-
can. About the same time former
V1ce-President Fairbanks was in
Rome and had arranged for an audi
ence at the Vatican which was can
celled by the pope because Mr.. Fair
banks first addressed the Methodist
mission in Rome. When Colonel
Roosevelt reached the Eternal City he

I purposely delayed the answer to your
letter until I should be able to couple
with it the announcement Of the prince

Legal Services

After two days negotiations Frank
J. Murphy and Abe Ruef reached a
basis of agreement yesterday and the
suit of Murphy for nearly $4,000, as
legal fees. was compromised and dis
missed from the records. Neither Muir

Der, 1908, and for a further sum OF
$500 on a contract. The jury had
been drawn when Walter Linforth, at

first part of the trial in which the boss
was convicted. He dropped out when
allegations we're made that he had at

YOUNG MAKES
U.s.. SENATELAUGH
Iowa Editor Steps on Cummins'
Toes in Maiden Speech
on Tariff

Lafayette Young OF Iowa today gave
the legislative body OF which he has
been member exactly 10 days the sur
prise of its existence.
He had prepared to make an attack
on his colleague. Senator Cummins,
who seeks the passage of concurrent
resolution changing the rules OF the
senate and house so as to permit
piecemeal revision of the Payne-Al-
drich tariff law. This he did. and more.
Standing in Senator Tillman's place.
Young attracted general attention when
he arose. not only because of the nov
city involved in a set speech from so
new a senator, but because of the
quaintness and forcefulness of his Ian
guage.
Young opposed all efforts at revision
of the existing tariff because, as he
contended, the law protected the farm
er He had great fear, he said, that
ultimately the adoption Of the Cum
Minis resolution would prove injurious
to the great agricultural interests.
The senate gasped and then laughed
when Young told it that the country
would feel relieved were congress to
adjourn altogether for two solid
years.
1t gasped again when he alluded to
its members in breezy fashion as
boys" and when he declared that the
editors and not congress ruled the
country. the galleries Joined with the
senators in general hilarity.
Young contended that the use of the
word progressive" was inadmissible.
IT'S an apology for being caught
with the gang" he said.
Addressing the insurgents directly,
he said:
You've got to come back to your
fathers house. I'm the keeper of the
ark Of the covenant, and I tell you that
when democrats are elected to the
seats of William Mckinley and James
A. Garfield, the circumstance should
give you pause. Now if any progress
