How The Kaiser Tried
To Placate Roosevelt

/, Not until after Colonel Roosevelt's
death has the interesting fact been
brought to light, that early in the
Great War the kaiser deliberately
tried to persuade Roosevelt that ETH
quette demanded that Roosevelt cease
his opposition to Germany.
About a month after the war start
ed. in September. 1914. the kaiser
sent a special envoy to Oyster Bay to
wait upon Colonel Roosevelt. The
colonel received him formally in the
Trophy Room. The envoy clicked his
heels and bowed and said:
"Mr. Roosevelt, his Majesty, the
German Emperor. sends you his cor
dial greetings and asks me to tell you
that he remembered your visit to Ber-
lin with the greatest pleasure and
trusts that the cordial reception
which you received there will always
remain fresh in your memory as 1t
does In his"
Roosevelt did not click his heels to-
gether. but he did click his teeth in a
way that he had when HI was about
to utter something which was intend
ed to end discussion.
Tell his Majesty from me that
thank him for his cordial messag &c
n that I remember my visit to Ber-
lin with the greatest pleasure, pre-
ciscly with the same pleasure that !
remember a similar visit which ] paid
at the same time to the king and
queen of the Belgians.'
The German envoy clicked his
heels together, bowed. and left the
room without another word.

LEGISLATORS OF
MINNESOTA WILL
NOT TRAVEL FREE

st. Paul. Nina, March 13.-Min-
neso:a legislators will not ride free on
railroads, while travelling to and from
the capitol. The house today, by a
vote of 62 to 50, killed the much dis
cussed and, sharply assailed Nimocks
bill, which. would have permitted free
transportation to senators and repre-
sehtatives ION official business" dur
ing their term Of office.
Newspapers throughout Minnesota
opposed the bill and representatives
who spoke against it declared that 1t
meant q return to ~"deplorable condi-
tions" which formerly existed. Friends
Of the measure asserted that h bill
contained proper safeguards" to pre-
vent an abuse Of pass privilege.
Representative w. H, Mclaughlin
Of Faribault introduced q bill to es-
tablish and maintain free county
libraries.
The senate, today, 4s to 10. passed
the Wicker house bill to submit a
constitutional amendment authorizing
the legislature to> levy . state income
tax.
J The amended Cliff essette land
development bill was beaten In the
senate, 81 to II. The bill provided
for county improvement Of agricul-
ltural land. Senators from northern
counties declared such q law would
bankrupt their counties, and they
succeeded in having an amendment
added to the bill which would prohibit
improvements In counties unless q
majority Of the county voters ap-
proved them. Senators who favored
the original bill voted against the
amended measure.

expenditure of more than $3.50, 000,-
pense Of the government and without
