ROOSEVELT MEETS EMPEROR
Previous 70 Their Meeting the Colonel
Visited American Embassy
in Berlin

Berlin, May 11.-Theodore Roose-
welt and Emperor William had their
first long conversation yesterdaf after
luncheon at Potsda1n. Standing apart
from the other guests they talked
earnestly together for more than IA
hour.
The Emperor's welcome to the for
mer President was exceedingly cor
dial. Wearing the white and gold
uniform Of the Garde du Corps, with
brazen helmet surmounted by a silver
eagle with outspread wings. the EN-
peror appeared at the entrance Of the
new palace on the arrival OF the car
riages which brought Colonel and
Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Ethel ana Ker.
nit to the palace gates. His Majesty
advanced quickly and shook hands
warmly with each one OF them. Later
he presented his guests to the EN-
press, and the entire party sat down
to luncheon at six tables. His Ma
jesty and Mrs. Roosevelt at his left
and Mr.. Roosevelt was seated between
the Empress and the Crown Prince.
A regrettable incident occurred on
the arrival of the Roosevelt party at
Berlin firm Stockholm yesterday morn
ing when the royal carriages intended
for their use failed to reach the sta
ton in time, and Ambassador Hill was
missing from among the officials who
had gathered to greet the ex-Presi-
dent. This was due to a misunder-
standing regarding the arrival of the
special train. The Roosevelts drove
to the American Embassy, and short
ly afterwards Colonel Roosevelt kept
an appointment with Professor Fraer-
kel, a throat specialist.
At Potsdam the Emperor and En-
press treated their American guests
with great cordially, engaging them
in prolonged conversation in the small
drawing room, with other members of
the royal family, before lunch. The
Emperor, after the other guests had
gone, showed Colonel Roosevelt and
his family through the Sanssoucci
Palace himself.
The Emperor has arranged for a
sham battle for today IN which IL, 900
men of all arms will take part. II is
somewhat doubtful, however, If Col
onel Roosevelt can attend, as he is
observing the utmost care, so that he
will be able to-deliver his lecture be-
fore the University on Thursday. Pro
fessor Fraenkel will make another
examination of his throat today and
then decide whether or not 1t will be
advisable for the ex-President TO visit
the battlefield.
Without making any definite state
ment regarding the condition in which
he found Colonel Roosevelt's throat
the physician explained that %laryngitis
often follows a long residence in the
tropics, and that in his opinion the
hoarseness in this case is not due to
the strain of speaking. Colonel Roose-
welt, he thinks, should be entirely re-
covered within a week.
No word has yet come to Colonel
Roosevelt regarding the possibility Of
his being named as special envoy to
the funeral of the late King Edward.

Strengthen Rebate Curbs.

The provision in the present law
against rebates are made stronger.
The bill authorizes the commission to
suspend the operation of a new rate
proposed by the railroads for 100 days,
while the question of the reasonable
ness of the ate is considered by the
commission. The present law allows
the commission to establish only one
through route, while this gives the
power to establish any number the
commission deems for the best inter
ests of commerce. Carriers are sub
jected to fine if they quote erroneous
rates to shippers.
The most important changes in the
retained in this bill are retained in
this bill are the three sections which
give the commission the power to reg
ulate the stock issues of railroad com
panies. AS amended and corrected by
the House these sections are believed
to furnish an absolutely dependable
means of preventing stock watering
! and obbing by those in control o. the
corporations.

Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1910-05-14

Washington, d. c., May 1.-THE
railroad bill passed the House yester.
day afternoon, receiving the votes OF
all the Republicans and several Dem.
%ocrats, the total vote being 200 ayes
and 126 hayes.
This bill Is called the administra-
ton bill. but it is further from being
the same bill that was offered the two
houses from the pen of the attorney
general than the Senate bill would be
if all pending amendments were
adopted.
The bill that passed the House con
tains many provisions that the Sen
ate will not approve, but there are in
the House bill many things that the
public will indorse and it is freely
said that 1t is the best bill from the
viewpoint of the shipper that ever
passed either house of Congress.
For this the insurgents are largely
responsible. They had no hesitancy
in attacking the bad features of the
bill, and when they were told that the
President wanted il passed in a GER
tain way they were not changed from
their position by any respect for his
opinion or fear of his official power.
They accepted the better things in the
bill as it came from the attorney gen
eral. and secured he elimination of
as many as possible or the bad fea-
tureS.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1910-05-14
Provides For Rate Probes.

For example, the bill provides that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
shall investigate inequalities in rates
on its own motion. This was the
best feature of the bill as introduced,
and was retained intact. Under the
present law the commission considers
cases only when brought to its atten-
ton and it costs so much money to
obtain the evidence, pay attorneys and
present a complaint that the shipper
who is least able TO bear an unjust
rate must submit to it as the lesser
of two evils, because to complain and
pay the expenses of a fight might
bankrupt him.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in this bill is given authority
over freight classifcations, now a
constant means of enforcing railroad
abuses.
The commission may regulate the
furnishing of cars to shippers. FAIL
ure to secure cars when needed has
| caused many a shipper great losses.
The House inserted a long and
| short haul clause in the bill, one with
out the joker that exists in the old
law. The most radical departure from
| custom in the bill is the provision foT
"a physical valuation OF every railroad
in the country as a basis of knowing
| what is a fair rate for traffic On the
| road.

GOVERNOR EXPLAINS HIS PARDON DISCRIMINATION nonapbey Says There is Vast Diner- ence fin Respective Gases Of
 SnOwden and Ellis.

Governor Donaghey yesterday eA- plained his action in pardonins ho" eu Snowden, a state convict, on the same dav that he declined to pardoh w Y. Ellis, the slayer Of N' r. WIT lis stating that he had heard con- nlaints from Pine Bluff, the nome o' r,is hecause he pardoned Snowdeh and not Ellis, too.
 ..For the benefit of those who Rno" ,,o,,;no of the situation, l wish 10 eynlain that Snowden, in the nFs' place, is only a boy It years o'd ano uas only sentenced to one year. ne has served all of that time except one nontb He was convicted of grand ,arceov and not convicted for killing q man.
 ''F1,rthermore. the physician or the nenitentiarN wrote me and advised the pardon of the boy, who would have been out in a month, anyhow. The nhysician explained that the boy was suffering from chronic bowel trouole and would be of no benefit to the state for the remaining time he had ,o serve. The physician explained further that the boy might be able to improve slightly if out of the peniten- tiary For all of those reasons par doned him.
 AS I see it, there is a difference between pardoning q man sentenced to three years for killing another man and pardoning 16-year old boy sen- tenced to only one year and who mas served all of that time but one month.

LET THE BEST MAN WIN.

The meeting of the Jefferson County Democratic Central Committee yes terday was anything but harmon ious Democrats charged Democrats with trickery and snap judgment and Democrats declared that Democrats were trying to frame up" things for the purpose of defeating one candi- date and electing another This is a pretty howdy do in times of peace and especially among men of one party. It was another case of poli- tics and one side just 'out politicked the other.
 The Graphic has always stood for honest elections and will continue to do so. There's no necessity for any frauds in the coming election for pro- scouting attorney Let the best man win. If Judge w. D. Jones, the pre- sent incumbent receives the nomina- ton and gets it fairly, the Graphic will support him. The same applies to the efforts of Attorney T. Havis Nixon The election ought to be fair and the Democrats of Jefferson county ought to join hands to make it so. If frauds are committed there ought to be im- mediate action on the part of those in authority to get at the bottom of them If few rascals who set up fraudu- lent work are exposed and punished, as the law prescribes, crimes against the ballot would soon cease in Jeffer- son county and Arkansas.
 There can be no reasonable doubt that crookedness on large scale has prevailed in elections in this county and city. at intervals, in the past. Until this crooked work Is 
 stamped out there can be no assur- ance of healthy politics or honest gov ernment in Arkansas. Crime against tho hallot oueht to be made the chief issue of politics in every state. county a-d n~ec'rct. until 1t Is wiped out root and branch, on"e and forever

JEWISH CHATTAUQUA
 FOR PINE BLUFF
Many Prominent Orators and Lectnr- CTS Coming Here, and Dr. frisch
 Makes An Appeal to Members.

Rabbi Ephriam Frisch, of Congre- gaton Anshe Emeth, has addressed the following letter to the members of his congregation. although other people of this city will be interest cd in the chautauqua movement
 January 12, 1910. Dear Sir: am writing to you about a very important matter that should at once win the interest and support of all people of our city, but especially of the Jewish people. The Jewish ChautauQua of Pine Bluff, the only Jewish culture and educational organization in our city. has conceiV- ed the noble ambition of bringing to our city during the remaining winter months several lecturers of eminenca to deliver addresses at the Temple, both to Jews and non-Jews. As the leader of the chautauqua. am heart fly in favor of this very ambitious and promising project, particularly in view of the fact that such superb course of enlightening and eloquent addresses are calculated to enhance Judaism and to promote better ur- derstanding of the story and lite:a- ture of Jews among ourselves and outsiders.
 Rabbi Leon Harrison, of St. louiS the magic orator, famous all ove: the country, is to be one of the speak CTS. Rev. Dr. Jenkins Lloyd Jones' (Unitarian), one of three &fea:ess pulpit orators of Chicago. and, in deed, unsurpassed in the entire coun- lYv. will be another speaker. Rabbi Leonard R, hatein, of AleXand ,l. La u',sc eloquence charmed our peo- pie last year, and Rabbi Abram Brill of Greenville, Miss, another gifted speaker, are likewise in the course Miss Cora Kahn, of the College of Elocution, Cincinnati, will give de- iisllful reading from ''The Prince Chap" All except Rev. Joaes are to appear but once; he will deliver two or three addresses.
 The bautauqua does not sae. to make ally money on this bold ven tlre. It only cares to make e.i,rnses end an extra little sum to enable it :o send 2 delegate to the .,.t'lona! Con, c; ton at Detroit next summer The ex, enses involved in trlve!ing and fees for the speakers. together with the cost of advertising them property, will amount to nearly four hundred dollars. We are going to se" a season ticket good fo" all the SIX events, for s1.50. Each event by lts:'if is worth che price of The en- tire season ticket, but we have de- termined to sell the entire season ticket for the same price as one theater ticket in order to popularize Gent.'es. Single admission will be fifty cents.
 It will be necessary to sell 400 tickets among the Jewish people alone in order to meet expenses. We do not want to sell tickets on the street to the public at large for this course, in order not to interfere with the ticket selling for the Grand Opera Concert which is to take place soon. May we rely on you, both as a puo- lic-spirited Jew and for your own edification and delight, to buy at least two tickets and, if possible, as many as six or ten? The ticket-sellers will soon be around to see you. Please encourage and patronize them.

A RIGHTEOUS KICK.

Tho country newspaper business IS a funny thing. It seems beyond the comprehension of a large number of people how 8 country newspaper man can have the nerve and audacity to even ask for money for his services or to run his business on, yet he is supposed to boom the town and eoun- try in every issue of his paper, free Of charge, allowing others to reap the benefits of this free advertising. Yet when he approaches them to advertise their business they claim it doesn pay. Yet they expect him to trade at home and go out of town to get the money to trade with. 1t sure IS funny.-Grand Prairie Herald.
