liberate is necessary.

SEES VENICE BY NIGHT
Traverses Canal Grand in Darkness of
Early Mornins-Later Leaves for
Austrian Capital.

Venice, April 14.-Roosevelt was
rowed thru a stretch of the Cana!
Grand in the darkness of the early
morning today and declared the expert
ence more impressive than the sight of
Venice by moonlight. Roosevelt ar
rived at this morning, and departed
this afternoon for Vienna.
Reaching the hotel the Roosevelts re-
tired at once, but We're up again at 8,
and after breakfast started on a sight
seeing tour. They returned to the hotel
at 11:45, where they were met by the
Duke Of Abruzzi The duke was con-
ductedsg to Roosevelt's apartments,
where he remained forty minutes. SilaS
McBee, editor of the New York
Churchman had breakfast with Roose-
Welt.
Roosevelt offered no comment on the
action of the supreme court in ordering
"a rearguInent of the Standard Oil and
American Tobacco cases.
Mr.. Roosevelt's deep interest In the
progress of moral reform in the United

route to Vienna, while a mob of en-
thusiastic people surged around the

Washington. April 14.-Disregarding
the pleas of many OF his associates.
Senator Burton, chairman OF the ma
,lonal waterways commission. today
presented minority report on tho
pending bill. which would appropriate
$4,000, 900 for improvements of rivers
and harbors. The character Of his op-
position. which IS as weeping arraign-
ment of piecemeal appropriations as
we'll as a condemnation OF many of ths
named projects, makes 1t certain a con-
test will be waged over tho
bill which will be one OF the
most heated in the history OF
the senate. Burton opposes appro-
priations for such projects as the
lakes to gulf inland waterways because
they have not been approved by gov
ernment engineers and the ultimate
costs remains to be determined He
also objects to improvements OF rivers
which necessitate the maintenance of
costly locks and dams

teer officers Of the United States army
who served SIX months or more would
receive retired pay and all honorably
discharged enlisted men over 20 years
of age would receive q straight pen
sion of $50 pei. month, was reported to
lS3he house by Prince of Illinois.
- The military affairs committees re-
pdkt says that altho the volunteer
tr06ps formed SO per cent OF the arm
les Of the United States and achieved
96 per cent Of the historic results, the
regular officers have received all the

The scale Of retired pay is one-third
of the initial active pay of corre-
spending regular officers, for those who
served two years or more, and for those
OF less time OF service the pay is in
proportion.
A private soldier over 20 years Of age
will receive the $50 per month, provid-
dng he served more than ninety days
and his physical disability (not neces-
sarily Of service origin) is such as to
require the frequent and periodical
care and attention of another person.

COOK coNTRADIcTED AGAIN.
Mountain Climbers Found His Alleged
Route Impossible.

Route Impossible.
Fairbanks, Alaska, April 1.-THE
Fairbanks Mount Mckinley expedition
that reached the summit of the peak
started to follow the route DR. Cook
said he took, but was obliged to aban
don it as it is impossible. Thomas
Lloyd, the leader, declared yesterday
no traces Of Cooks camps were found.
Lloyd placed his crude notes of the
journey in the hands of Il compittee
OF the Order of Pioneers of Alaska,
who will arrange for publication of the
story. The party took photographs of
the summit and of points along the
trail. They also established the trail so
we'll that it can be followed by other
parties next summer. y
On one stretch of trail eight miles
long the explorers worked two weeks.
On one of the peaks a Flagstaff four
teen feet tall was erected, firmly but
tressed by rocks. The work done by
the Fairbanks men easily can be veri-
fed.
An eroid measurement taken by the
men places the height OF the noun
tain at 20,500 feet.
Ten men were in the party that left
Fairbanks with dog teams in Decem-
ber. 1t was the theory of the leaders
that the ascent would be less danger
Gus in the early spring than later,
when the snow began to melt. This
theory was confirmed by the experience
of the expedition.

Chicago. April 14.-Early reports
from the cities where the National and
American League clubs open the sea-
son Of 1910 indicate immense crowds
are on hand to witness the initial

Pittsburg, the home Of the worlds
champions, is ball crazy and the team
is lauded to the skies. Men were at
work late in the night erecting elabo-
rate styles of bulletin boards, from the
electrically played game to the i'm
mense posting boards. Never before
have such preparations been made here
to display to the public the progress of
the home team in game a thousand
miles away. Pittsburg opens at St.
Louis. Camnitz and Gibson probably
will be the battery. Parades preceded
the game in several cities.

FARMER KILLED AT CROSSING.
Went to Sleep While Driving Home
Late at Night.

Imogene, April 14.-Jack Hueston, a
man well known around Imogene and
who had been working for Mat O'Brien,
Jr., this spring, was killed py a north
bound Wabash freight about 1880 a.
M, while returning home from Shen-
andoah. The accident occurred at the
crossing just east Of Summit. Hueston
was returning home from Shenandoah,
where he had been spending the even
ing with young lady. It will never be
known just how the accident occurred.
Whether because the hill hid the ap-
proach Of the train and he did not see
it until it was upon him, or whether
he had gone to sleep, trusting to his
horse to bring him safely home, will
always be conjecture.
The train crew Of the train that
killed him did not know of the acci-
dent until they had reached Malvern.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 14-When
John w. Kern announced the launch
ing of the boom Of Governor Marshall
as the next democratic presidential
candidate. more than 500 men assembled
at Jefferson day banquet at the Ger
man house last night, arose and shout
ed themselves hoarse in honor of the
states chief executive. Especial enthu-
siasm followed the statement of Mr..
Kern, the toastmaster, that the people
Of Indiana think Governor Marshall has
made good TO such an extent that he
should be called to a higher position.
AS the Hoosier executive stepped to
the front of the platform calls of Mar
shall, Marshall were heard.
II am not candidate for anything
under the SUM- said the governor. II
am. simply governor of Indiana, de-
sirous of serving the people of Indi-
ana"
This remark brought an additional
outburst Of enthusiasm, and when Ia
ter he added that it is his belief that
no man who sought to get the presi-
dency by trickery-or fraud is fit to be
president. the storm broke again.
Governor Marshall made no state-
ment concerning whether he would ac-
cspt a nomination IL offered, bnt he did
say: II lived before I got the job as
your governor, and I will try to live
after 1t is over"
The policies OF Roosevelt and Taft
were criticised by the governor. who
declared president or other executive
officer had no business having policies.
Roosevelt was declared to have usurped
the functions OF the legislative and ju-

SENATE AMENDS RAIL BILL.
Change Permits Inclusion Of Complain
anita in Commerce Suits.

washington, April 1.-THE senate
resumed consideration OF the railroad
biz, giving attention TO amendments
offered by Chairman Elkins OF the In
terstate commerce committee.
The only amendment adopted was
one permitting the inclusion OF conn
plainants In suits before tho proposed
court OF commerce growing out OF orr
ders of the interstate commerce con-
mission. In this the opponents won 3
victory. The committees oigirai prop
ositior was to permit the appearances
of complainants only thru counsel. Az
agreed upon the provision permits all
persons interested to become parties "a
the suit The more liberal precision
was conceded by the supporters of thu
bill and there was no voting division.
There was extended discussion OF
the question of combined raj, and wa
ter transportation on an amendment
offered by Mr.. Elkins. but no action
was taken.
In response to a question from Mr..
Newlands. Mr.. Cummins said later ne
would attempt to have the bill so modf-
fed as TO have tho interstate commerce
commission continue in It's present re-
lationship of suitor. Mr.. NewiHnds
strongly advocated such course.
MIR. Bacon suggested modification
OF nle provision to meet Mr.. Hughes
views, and which. proving acceptable
to all, was adopted. The provision. as
finally agreed upon. reads:
'Complainants before the Interstate
commerce commission interested in
case shall have the right to appear and
be made parties to the case and be
represented before the court by counsel
under such regulations, as is now per-
mitted in similar circumstances under
the rules and practice of the equity
courts of the United States"
Mr.. Elkins then formally offered his
amendment striking out tho provision
requiring the court OF commerce to
take into consideration the effect upon
the public interest OF any proposed
consolidation of railroads In passing In
advance upon agreements looking to
such consolidation.
Mr.. Cummins sought to enlarge the
scope of the amendment by striking out
the entire provision authorizing ad-
vance action by the court In such
agreements. He said he thought me
tail should GO with the hide"
Mr.. Bristow opposed the new amend
ment on the ground that 1t would per-
nit monopoly He contended that it
would prevent an independent steam
ship line from being established where
the railroads already had a line
Mr. Elkius said .he provision had
been suggested at the instance OF the
water carriers.

Farmers Are Emisratins.
Washington, April 14.-More than
10000 American citizens, with from
$1,000 to $4,000 each, practically all
farmers and the heads Of families. ex-
patriated themselves between March
81, 1909, and March /, 1910. They
went from all portions of the United
States, but particularly from the mid
die west, to take up fromesteads in
Canada. The full number of persons
who went from the United States to
Canada in this period was 95,270.
These figures were compiled as the
result of an investigation which has
just been completed by Commissioner
Of immigration General Keefe.
The investigation which has just
been completed discloses the fact that
the best type of farmers OF the middle
west are the %ones who are selling out
In this country and taking their money
to Canada, there to take up fertile gov
ernment land. Tho bureau OF immi-
grafton estimates that the amount of
money taken from this country by the
95,370 persons who left this country to
make their future homes under the
British flag averages $1,000 to a man.
