S. Sought SAYS THE TIME IS RIPE Secretary Knox Transmits Suggestions in Note to Officials [Associated Press] TTTASHINGTON, March 30.—Follow- ing the proclamation a com ing tin 1 proclamation of a com ' ' plete tariff agreement with Canada today, it is announced that President Tart has Invited Canadian officials to a conference, looking to closer trade relations between the two countries and to a general readjust-; ment of duties. : _ ■ . Tim president's Invitation to Canada la included In an exchange of note* be tween Secretary of State Knox and the dominion government. The note expresses satisfaction at tne happy termination of the tariff negotia tions and advances the nope that the way has been opened for an early settlement of all differences between the two governments, Including the troublesome question of the water boundary line. .... The note then expresses the holier that tho time is ripe for a conference looking to the betterment of trade re lations between the two countries. President Taft from the first did not hesitate to let It bo known that he would go a long: way to avoid a tariff war with Canada. Such a war, he be lieved, would fall heavily upon Amen can interests and manufacturers. It was the president who took the lnlativo in inviting Finance Minister Fielding to Albany to discuss the dif ferences between the two countries. The exchange of views at Albany was such as to indicate that peace was aa surt d. charge that Canada was unduly The charge that Canada was unduly discriminatory against the United •States originally grew out of the Cana dian treaty with France, whereby the latter country was given a reduction of from 2Vs to 5 per cent. President Taft did not take the view that this was discriminatory, Inasmuch as France in return offered to Canada a similar reduction of rates. The United States, never having offered concessions to Canada, Mr.\Taft held, could not expect such preferential treatment on the other side. There stood in the way, however, the fact that the reductions granted by Canada to Franc© were automatically applied to thirteen other countries in eluded in Great Britain's "favored na tion" policy. This, the president held, did amount to discrimination against the United States. President Taft made the proposition that Canada would be absolved from 'undue discrimination" against the United States if this country were given a 2^4 per cent reduction on the article! with which Amorlcan firms compete with the -favored nations" in iii.. Canadian market. The dominion government finally agreed to this, and on these terms the settlement was reached. As to wood pulp and print paper, some criticism has been leveled at the president. It was officially stated at th« White House today that these items did not and could not enter into the negotiations. The rates and terms of duty on wood and wood pulp arc fixed in the Poyne-Aldrlch tariff law and oannot bo made the subject of negotia tions on the part of the president.

RAILROAD BILL IS TO BE AMENDED; ROOT DEFENDS IT Elk ins Reports Agreement After Conference on Vital Changes CUMMINS IS AROUSED lowa Senator Denies Com mittee Has Considered Modifications [Associated rrossi WASHINGTON, March 30.—Several amendments to the administra tion railroad bill, which were agreed upon after conferences between the senators who reported the measure from the seriate committee on Inter state! comerce, were made public to day by Chairman Klkins of the com mittee. The changes proposed are regarded as highly important anil Intended to mod ify many of the criticisms that have been raised against the bill In the de bate had thus far. The several iirnendments will provide for the following: Authorizing- appeals to tho supreme court from Interlocutory orders or de crees of the court of commerce grant ing or continuing an injunction re straining the enforcement of an order or the Interstate commerce commis sion. Providing; for hearing on flvo days' notice in connection with the tempor ary suspension of orders of the com* mission. Allowing complainants before the com mission to be represented by counsel in cases appealed to the commerce court. Changing the provision relating to the making of new routes and Joint classiftcatlc . between rail and water lines so as to limit the authority of the commission to cases win he "no seasonable or satisfactory through route by rail and water exists." It is provided, also, that the com mission shall not have the right to establish any through route, classi fication or rate, fare or charge when the transportation Is wholly by water. Senator Root spoke two hours in support of the bill in the senate to day. The portion of the speech de livered dealt almost exclusively with tho proposed court of commerce, which Mr. Root defended notwithstanding, he said, it appealed to him far less strong ly than did most of the features of the bill. He was questioned closely by Senators Cummins, Crawford, Jones. Kttyner and others, and in response to the Inquiries said he would favor an amendment to the bill permitting the representation of shippers in cases Involving their interests. He argued for the general policy of having all the law business of the government concentrated in the de partment of Justice. Mr. Root will continue his speech tomorrow. Senator -Root began speaking just after Senator Elki>-s had introduced the series of amendments to the bill, already outlined. In presenting the amendments, Mr. Klkins stated they had the support of a majority of the members of the committee on inter state commerce. This remark brought Mr. Cummins to his feet. He said that the committee had had no meeting and therefore had had no opportunity to consider the amendments.

Such, at least, was the announcement made tonight after a family conference at the home of Police Matron Cham bers, where young Miss Seifert has been staying since the return from her flight. There Is, however, one string, a rather long one, to their prospective bliss. John Seifert, the girl's father, con sents to the marriage only on condition that it shall be deferred for eighteen months, and that in the meantime his daughter shall take the trip to Europe with him as planned before the elope ment. Miss Seifert assents to this ar rangement and expresses herself as de lighted to be reconciled with her pa rents. Young Foreman, however, will try to persuade Mr. Seifert to permit the mar riage before the trip to Europe. That he will consent seems doubtful, but he has so far relented toward his daugh ter's youthful suitor as to permit him to visit her at Mrs. Chambers' house this evening. Miss Seifert is somewhat HI as a result of the hardships of the flight into the snow-clad mountains, but seemingly is very happy over the new urrangement. Young Foreman is little the worse for his trying experience of Tuesday except for badly scratched face and hands, the injuries "having been received in forc ing a way through the bushes for him self and "the girl following him. It is learned tonight that Mr. Seifert Is arranging to take his daughter east within a week and thence to Europe. CUSTOMS MEN SEIZE $5000 JEWEL ON WOMAN IN N. Y.

ROOSEVELT'S AID ASKED BY CHINA Empire Plans Putting 22,000,000 Men on War Footing and Becoming Greatest Military Power In the World PEKING, March 30-—Great interest is expressed in Chinese official circles over the interview at Cairo Saturday between Wu Ting Fang, former minis ter from China to the United States, and former President Roosevelt. It Is generally known that Wu Ting Fang purposely arranged his route homeward from America to China so ho could meet Col. Roosevelt and discuss with the latter great plans for the reorgan ization of the Chinese army, to which Wu will devote his energies on the return to the empire. Because of Roosevelt's knowledge of the workings of the United States war department, of which he was once as sistant secretary, and because of his practical knowledge gained on the field and while president, Wu has long cher ished a dream, which has enthused Chinese officialdom, of making the for mer president the actual leader of the army organization work In China. Wu is said to have actually broached the matter at one time with Roosevelt as a substitute for the African trip, and the former president, while not willing to accept the task at the time, was enthusiastic over It and promised every possible aid to China. The interview at Cairo, therefore, had considerable significance, and Peking anxiously awaits its result. China is "army mad" at present. Yin Tchang, the new Chinese minister of war, is due hero from his former post at Berlin April 5, to start the active work of putting the empire on the tre mendous war footing of 22,000,000 sol diers. With her 400,000,000 of popula tion, the nation expeqts to launch the greatest army in the world and to force Itself to the fore as a military power to be reckoned with. With this object in ultimate view, Chinese emissaries have for years been inspecting the mili tary forces of Europe and America, and foreign officers have already organized a well drilled nucleus to a huge organ ization in China. Before leaving Berlin Yin Tchang said: "We will overshadow all other nations in military affairs. From the weakest soldiers will be as the sands of the sea solliers will be as the sands of the sea and the equal in discipline of any others."

SINGLE COPIES: ON TRAINS, 8 CENTS RUNAWAY CAUSES FATAL ACCIDENT THREE INJURED WHEN TRAIN STRIKES BUGGY Fourteen.Year.Old Girl May Die in Santa Fe Hospital from Basal Fracture Received in Collision A pair of horses, hitcberl to a buggy in which two young girls and a 17 --year-old boy were riding, became frightened at a passing automobile in Colorado street, South Pasalena, last night, and aft?r a mad gallop extend ing for a milf and a half, crashed into the Los Angeles bound Santa Fe lim ited train at the Lincoln park crossing, fatally Injuring one of the girls and se riously injuring the other girl and boy. Helen Howard, aged 14 years, is at the Santa Fe hospital, suffering from a basal fracture of the skull and an in- Jury which necessitated the amputation of her right leg below the knee. The physicians at the hospital stated her injuries were fatal. Her step-sister, Daisy Rodgers, 15 yais old, is occupying an adjacent cot in the same hospital, suffering from a fracture of the left collarbone and mul tiple bruises of the head and body. Lester Kdwards, 17 years old, es caped with lacerations of the head and face and a sprained left shoulder. The young persons live in Kagle Rock and yesterday afternoon Edwards in vited the girls to accompany him for a ride. The girls complied and Daisy, sitting on Helen's lap, took the reins, and the merry party started down Col orado street. The puffing of the auto frightened the horses, and before Edwards could take the reins they were galloping madly down the street. Edwards made every effort to stop the frantic animals, but to no avail* and the Lincoln Park crossing was reached just as the Santa Fe limited train was rushing on its way to Lob Angeles. The engineer saw the runaway, but m unable to stop the train In time to avoid the collision. The engine struck the rear of the horses and scattered the occupants of the buggy. Miss Howard was hurled through tho air, and it Is thought her head came in contact with a telegraph pole, and caused the basal fracture. Her right leg was caught and crushed. Miss Rodgers, who was driving the horses was tossed against a pile of rocks, but her injuries, according to the physi cians, will not prove fatal. The train was stopped and the three persons were taken to Los Angeles and treated at the Santa Ke hospital. Young Edwards was frantic with grief, and last night Was unable to make a co herent statement other than to say the horses became frightened and ran away. He paid no attention to his own injuries, but was solicitous as to the condition of the young girls. At the Santa Fe hospital it was re ported early this morning that Miss Howard had but a slight chance of re covery and her death was momentarily expected.

I *£ CENTS ROOSEVELT WILL RANK PRINCES IN KAISER'S PALACE Emperor to Entertain Him Three Days, Putting Precedents Aside COURT IS ASTOUNDED University of Berlin Will Bestow Doctor of Laws Degree on Visitor [Associated Pressi BERLIN, March 30.—Emperor Wil liam hns Invited former Presi dent Roosevelt to be his personal guest at the palaco for three of tho five days Colonel Roosevelt will spend. In Berlin. The former president will arrive hero the evening of May 9, and will bo entertained by David Jayno Hill, tho American ambassador, until the 12th, when the emperor will return to tho capital from the provinces. Then Colonel Roosevelt will go to tha palace. The emperor will throw court precedence to the winds during Colonel Roosevelt's stay. The masters of cere monies and the court chamberlains aro dismayed by the emperor's determina tion to give a private and non-offlclal person precedence at the dinners and elsewhere over everybody, oven the royal princes. The expectation Is that the emperor, who has given much thought to the entertainment of his distinguished American guest. Is preparing surprises for the three days in which he will give up to Colonel Roo3evelt the most of his time. Asks Wheeler's Advice "What do you thing Mr. Roosevelt would like to see in Berlin?" inquired the emperor of President Wheeler o£ the University of California a few days before the exchange professor left for home. "Men," said Professor Wheeler. "Mr. Roosevelt would, I think, prefer abovo other things to meet representative German men." Professor Wheeler also thought Mr. Roosevelt might like to hear somu good music, to see one or two gnlleriej and to visit Frederick the Great's country home, Sans Souci, at Potsdam. While the emperor did not say di rectly that he would follow the sug gested outline, it is likely that he will have a distinguished company to dine with Mr. Roosevelt mid will arrange for an opera in his honor. The University of Berlin -will be stow the degree of doctor of law upon Col. Roosevelt. While the senate oe the university has not yet acted upon the suggestion, it will be brought be fore that body by the rector, and no doubt will be unaniously approved. May Attend Reception The American Association of Com merce and Trade has invited him to be present at a reception. Ho decline 1 a public dinner some months ago, as he said his stay in Berlin would bo short and he did not think that ho ought to accept an invitation so long in advance. It is regarded as extremely likely that he will now agree to a reception and American residents in Berlin hava an opportunity of meeting: him in this The newspapers have published everything available about the for mer president's utterances in Khar toum and subsequently, bo that the general public is well informed as to his movements, and if any public op portunity is afforded of greeting him the people of Berlin aro ready to avail themselves of it. Already there is a great pressure for tickets to hear his lecture befora the university, and for invitations to the reception of the American Associa tion of Commerce and Trade. Col. Roosevelt, some months ago, in answer to the remark that ho could have a great reception In Berlin, said: "I snail be there simply as a private person. I am not one of those who cling to the fringes of departed great ness." RAPS ROOSEVELT SPEECH IN CAIRO CORNELL PROFESSOR CALLS UTTERANCES TACTLESS Says Former President Not Called on to Tell Egyptians How to Manage Own Af. fairs [Associated Press] CHICAGO, March 30.—Prof. Nathan iel Schmidt, head of the department of Oriental languages and literature at Cornell university, who has just re turned from a protracted residence iv Egypt, Syria and Arabia, criticised for mer President Roosevelt's recent speech at Cairo at a luncheon given today by the Chicago association. "There are plenty of Americans in Egypt and Arabia today," he said, "who have dealt more tactfully with those numerous questions which go to make peace between nations than did a former president of the United States who spoke in Cairo the other day. "The speech was rather uncalled for, I think. Now, a German would say that Mr. Roosevelt was Just right. It is the German policy to lay down the law, anl if necessary to lay on the lash. They would think it wholly proper that he should tell the Egyptian* how to manage their affairs. "Hut there is a question in my mind. I lived there a long tim<\ and I used to read the Egyptian nationalist newspa pen every day. There is really a tn mendous feeling. I think the truth is that the English policy of pouring mon ey into the country and developing It commercially, and at the same time, al lowing extreme freedom of ■peaob, i* the best one In the long run. You can't use force effectively on those i>v<>pi.> and whip them into amiable BUhJ They have long memories, and as for loin of speech, they've got to have it. It's in the blood."
