STOCKHOLM. May 7.-Ex-President
Roosevelt, who arrived here today, was
greatly shocked when he learned today
of King Edward s death. What effect
this will have on his London plans he
cannot for the present say, but it is
his intention to go to Berlin and com
plete his itinerary as announced.
Colonel Roosevelt today sent mes
sage to Embassador Hill inquirlng ii
King Edward g death would necessitate
a change in the emperor S plans, and
asking that he be advised should the
emperor go to London. In that event
the former president would undoubtedly
be either the guest of the American
ambassador or proceed TO hotel. He
has n fixed engagement TO lecture al
Berlin university on May 10.
Speaking of the late kings tact, Mr.
Roosevelt gave an illustration of what
he termed the finer sense of things
which the king possessed.

Roosevelt when he comes to London
later in this month"; Mr.. Roosevelt Will
be received most cordially, but the
spectacular features which had been
planned will, of course, be eliminated
1t is understood Mr.. Roosevelt feels the
death of King Edward very keenly,
not only because OF his high admlra-
ton for the dead monarch, but also
because of its possible effect on his
plans to advocate the cause OF peace
Friends here of the former president
understood that one of the principal OBJ
iects of his visit TO the European capi-
tai was to use his influence to make
sure, that the next Hague tribunal
should not be barren of results, but
that action should be taken which
would make n long step in the direction
of universal arbitration and the llmi'
tation Of armaments. Mr., Roosevelt
had. it is understood, spoken eftec'
lively along this line to President
Fallieres, King Victor Emmanuel OF
Italy, the Emperor Francis,J Joseph, anc
other monarchs whom he had visited
He had the hearty sympathy and sup
port of the Italian king in this ms

apprehension which rose this week, as
it would not have done a few years

present situation in the face OF AS

To Avoid Epidemic of Small
pox and Business Dis
ruptiOn
STATE WELL PEPPERED
No Cases Reported In City-Vaccin-
alton Has Been Ordered-School
Children and Poor Folks Free.

The state of Michigan in many
places is well peppered with small pox
and unless very strenuous and exacting
measures are adopted there is liable
TO be a general epidemic.
The city health officer and common
council have been keeping an eye on
the situation, and knowing from eX-
perience that if smallpox should again
get foot hold here there would be no
end TO expenses and also depression
in business which would be keenly
felt by our business men and citizens
generally.
A general order has gone out TO the
schools from the city council that all
scholars not already vaccinated must
do SO up TO the eighth grade, and that
free vaccination will be given TO all
poor people in the city. The superin-
tendents the mills and factories
have also notified their employees To
comply with the law and thus assist
in heading of a possible epidemic.
The city has gone through one or
two sad experiences with smallpox in
the past five years, and we certainly
do not care for a repetition of its dis
agreeable invasion.
