Over Reservation Report

A bitter controversy waged among
members of the House Interior Depart
ment Expenditures Committee today
over charges by the Republican minor
ity that the report condemning the In

two members = Congressman Graham
and George. Congressman Mondell of
Wyoming, Hanna of North Dakota, and
Burke of Soubh Dakota, minority men,

COLONEL ROOSEVELT
 AS SPECIAL ENVOY.
To Interest England and Germany in
 San Francisco Exposition.

Washington, Sept 17.--Colonel Roose- welt may be the special envoy of the United States to England and Ger many on the San Francisco exposition.
 It became known tonight that while no formal tender has been made to Colonel Roosevelt, prominent Califor- nians identified with the exposition had suggested to tae administration that the former president might be per- suaded to go to London and Berlin be- fore he sails next month for South America.
 It was stated on good authority also that both President Wilson and Secre- tary Bryan approve the ieda, but are withholding a formal offer until they know the outcome of the populations now being conducted in Europe by J. V. F. Skiff, director general of the Panama Pacific exposition with view to obtaining support there for the ex position. It may be that MT Sl6iff will not complete his negotiations before October A. when Colonel Roosevelt is due to sail, but the tentative plan is to have MT. Roosevelt designated as the emissary of the United States gov ernment. The interest of the admins istratiOn in securing foreign participa- ton is not alone to celebrate the open ing of the canal to civilization, but to make of the Pacific Panama expo sition q forum for the cause of univer- sal peace.
