WITH A FINGER

Former President on His
Arrival at Khartum
{Special Ccble to The Call]
JOHN CALLAN O'LAUGHLIN
Cable io The Call]
(Copyright by the Tribune company, Chicago,
KHARTOUM. March 14.— Colonel
Roosevelt emerged fro mthe jungle this
afternoon, with his finger on his lips
I so far as political questions are con
cerned. Immediately after his arrival
he reiterated the statement that he had
nothing; to cay on the burning issues in
\u25a0J^Tii a and elsewhere. He has gone
jren to the extent of declining to re
ceive a delegation of Syrians who had
prepared an address of a political na
ture, though willing to receive them
individually. It is increasingly evident
that he will not under any circum
stances depart from his fixed rule.
Roosevelt tonight is resting in the
palace instead of the hotel, as he had
f planned, with his wife and daughter,
•who were greeted 'enthusiastically at
I the railriad station when he arrived at
5:20 o'clock.
MH«i. ROOSEVKLT VERY HAPPY
Mrf. Roopevelt showed every sign of
happiness at the reunion with her hus
band and son. The Call correspondent
went aboard the Dal on the last lap of
the long trip, joining the Roosevelt
party at the Gordon tree, so named be
cause the general slept one night there
under. Shortly before The Call cor
respondent stepped on the ship Roose
velt finished finally the entire account
of his African trip.
Tlip scientists of the expedition were
not so fortunate. They must prepare
the specimens for shipment when they
reach Washington and must arrange
the catalogue. This means a tremen
dous amount of work, wherein Colonel
Roosevelt will participate upon his re
turn; While CoJonel Roosevelt was
talking to The Call correspondent re
garding the trip Mcarns and Kermit
landed, the former shooting a couple
of birds required for the collection and
the latter gathering shells and plants.
<.RKKTED BY OFFICIALS
L-aving Gordons tree, the Dal slowly
steamed to Khartum. Opposite Omdur
men. which marks the Junction of the
Blue and White Niles. the Dal turned
toward the palace. At this point the
boat was boarded by a launch convey
ing Slatin Pasha, inspector general of
Foudan; Wilson Boy, governor of Khar
tum: Captain Clayton and Private Sec
retary Sircar, who officially welcomed
Colonel Roosevelt back to civilization.
Colonel Roosevelt was particularly
delicrhtcc to meet General Slatin, who
S3ra6f*dT marvelous escape 'from prison
air : a Ufa 12 years ago and with whose
borik he is familiar.
Colonel Roosevelt was informed that
th* stucco building of yellow lying on
th<> Efaorg of the Nile was at his dis
posal. "Where is the railroad station?"
h*- asked, evidently thinking first of
f"his wife. It was pointed out to him
promptly and he asked how he could
roach it. It was explained that Sir
car's yacht was at his disposal and
\u25a0would carry him to the station and
\u25a0 back to the palace with his wife,
riauehtcr and son.
<. MUUri) IV MOTLEY ARRAY
All of Colonel Roosevelfs blacks
were on the deck of the Day enjoying
the novelty of the sight, never hav
ing before seen anything approaching
a city. They were dressed in castoff
clothes, one wearing some apparel be
longing to Colonel Roosevelt and Ker
mlt. They were rather uncomfortable,
as they never before were clothed as
whites. All. the. tentman. and Colonei
Roosevelt was particularly affected at
thf prospect of separation from Slatin.
Bwana Maloiba, meaning "great mas
ter," had been good, thinking always
of the comfort of others.
"We are losing a fine friend and a
man who is big. big; we are porry."
When we arrived at the palace at
*\u25a0 4:35 a guard of black Soudanese non
commissioned officers made' a lane
through which Roosevelt passed. These
soldiers, in full dress, made a striking
appearance with their uniforms, red
epaulets, bayonet pendants, belts and
short etioks in their hands.' Roosevelt
met all the Khartum officials at the
• palace gardens.
GREETS WIFE AXD DAUGHTER
At 5:15 o'clock he went to the sta
tion, where he greeted his wife and
daughter. The station was cleared of
all except those meeting friends and
r few witnesses, consequently few saw
the affectionate greeting of the family.
Tonight they dined at the palace of
Slatin Clayton.
During the dinner Cunningham
brought the gun bearers to say goodby.
Ten brought the huge tusks of the
li-st elephant he killed. They thanked
ip£ r osevelt in the native tongue for his
prcat consideration and asked that he
• •ome again to Africa for a great hunt
snd promised to accompany him.
The way they addressed Roosevelt
showed that the colonel was never
Bwana Tumbo to members of the party,
\u25a0who denounce this title.
AFFECTED AT PARTING
Before their departure the Roose
velts intend to give a luncheon for the
\u25a0white members of the expedition. - Cun
ningham was deeply affected at the
prospect of separation and says he is
glad the expedition is ended, but
Jforry.-glad because Roosevelt returns in
puch splendid health and sorry the hunt
is ended. He says If the people could
understand the extensive character of
the collection of animals and birds,
shells and plants they -must realize the
tremendous addition to science.
Roosevelt came to Khartoum in khaki
and a gray shirt with pigskin boots
that reached almost to the knees, a hel
met and a green tie which constituted
a dress suit. Tonight he is garbed In
evening clothes which were brought by
his wife, the first time he has worn such
a suit since he left Mairobl.
"I've had a splendid time." he said,
"and it is said I have got through in
excellent health."
This Is considered more remarkable
in view of the fact that the other
whites with the exception -of Kermit
were attacked by fever. Roosevelt was
anxious that the papers should state his
inability to reply personally to the
thousands of letters he has received
asking for trophies and expressing In
terest In him and also sending greetings
oi^.iis return to civilization. t
wloosevelt is still his own secretary
and busy sightseeing.

SLENDEREST CLEW
ON WHICH TO WORK
Description of Man Suspected of
Having Cut Millet Picture
From Frame
Description of the man rranted by
the police as the person suspected of the
theft of the 910,000 palntinc, "Shepherd
and Flock." by Jean Francois Millet,
from the Golden Gate park museum art
gallery Sunday morning: About 40
years of ase, 5 feet 10 inches tall, dark
complexioned. dark hair; believed to
have been smooth shaven; Tiore lisht
colored shirt of mixed Roods, well vrorn
snit of faded dark screen color and dark
Kedora hat.
Only an empty gilt frame in the
office of Curator George Barron is left
the city as a reminder of the $10;000
painting of Jean Francois Millet which
was stolen Sunday \u25a0 morning from the
art gallery at the Golden Gate park
museum. Detective Ed Wren worked
on the case yesterday, but got little
further than the frame.
And every person in the vicinity of
San Francisco who owns a' celebrated
painting is filled with alarm over the
theft and the proverbial uneasiness of
the head that wears the crown was
dreamless slumber compared to the
unrest and apprehension of the heads
that own masterpieces of art.
The robbery at the park museum,
following closely on the 'heels of. the
theft from the California state board
of trade rooms of the Solano county
midwinter fair trophy, has suggested to
the police that the two crimes might
have been the work of one gang.
The loot is, however, quite different,
for the golden cup taken from the ferry'
building could be reduced to valuable
metal and easily disposed of. while to
try to sell a stolen painting involves a
difficulty which increases in direct ratio
to the value of the masterpiece.
OXE POSSIBLE MARKET
There Is one world's market for
paintings where no questions are asked,
and that is the court of the sultan of
Morocco, but that is a long way from
Golden Gate park. The sultan has an
insatiable craving for works of art and
has his agents scouring Europe for rare
paintings which he may acquire.
The Millet picture was stolen by some
one who had a ready market for the
work or by a man with a mania to
possess rare paintings or with a view
to ransom.
The police and the museum author
ities have no definite clews , to lead
them to the perpetrator of the crime.
They learned yesterday several facts
which will be helpful to them.
THE MYSTERIOUS STRAXCER
\u25a0/At 9:40 o'clock^ Sunday morning a
man about 40 years of age, 5 feet 10
inches tall, with -a round face, dark
complexioned, dark hair, and believed
to have been smooth shaven, who was
wearing a light colored shirt of mixed
goods, a well worn, faded green suit
and a dark Fedora hat, applied at the
park museum for admittance. Mrs.
Annie Hook. Janitress at the museum,
told him that the, place would not be
open: until 10 o'clock. The man went
away. -_ \u25a0• '>.'.
At 10 minutes after 10 o'clock Mrs.
Annie Hughes, another janitress, > saw
the same man in the art gallery, lean
ing over the low rail and apparently
studying verj' closely one of the
Thomas Hill, paintings. There was no
one* else in the art gallery and few
other people in the museum' building,
which had then ' been opened *but 10
minutes. There were three , soldiers in
the armory room, but they are not now
thought to have been . connected with
the theft of the. painting.' v
CUT FRO3I THE FRAME
About 5 or 10 minutes ..later Police
man George W. Clark, in makinghis
rounds, saw that the pictured had been
cut from its frame. An indistinct foot
print on the floor inside \ the. railing
showed that man had stepped over
the" guard so that his vandalism might
be easier.
At that 'same .time 'Alex- Lawson, a
special police , guard ; at", the - museum,'
saw a man corresponding ; to .; the' r de
scription .leaving the" museum. He had

had not been derelict in guarding the
works of art - ', ,
The Millet painting is more interest
ing «.nd valuable historically than
artistically, although it was one of the
works with which he started his ca
reer. T. H.. Rabjohn, the . art dealer
and connoisseur, told yesterday of -its
position in art. He said:
"The Millet painting in the Miss
Sarah M. Spooner collection, was one of
Millet's earlier work's. . It was orig
inally drawn in pencil, -but afterward
Millet went over his sketch with oils,
and the marks of the pencil showed
through the. -.later medium. The draw
ing was crude, but the coloring in the
picture was true,"
Its date is approximately in the" year
1532. While the painting may not be
a great example of Millet's genius.still
it has a surpassing value owing tothe
fame . of its creator and the place it
holds in the historical development of
his work.
DIFFICULT TO DISPOSE OF -
"It will be very difficult to dispose of
the ;palnting,"( said' another art dealer,
"because every Millet which is now of
fered for sale: will be scanned "with the
greatest -concern by purchasers. •! It
would seem that the _ painting was
stolen to satisfy a personal -gratifica
tion. - This crime /should- teach Ithe
park commissioners and the ; curators
of; all galleries a lesson." They should
have every work; of 'art; in their : pos
session photographed,' so; that in the
event of theft it * will be easy to iden
tify the picture, if, a clew. is obtained as
to its whereabouts."

ARGUES DEFENSE
OF STANDARD OIL
Milburn Addresses the Supreme
Court of United States in
- Behalf of Octopus
Members of Congress Forsake
Chambers to Hear Review of
Circuit Court Decree
WASHINGTON, . March 14.— Final
flght-for the dissolution of "Standard
Oil", began today before the supreme
court; of the United States, when John
G. Milburn of New York . spoke for
three hours-in its defense. He will con
clude tomorrow. The rest of tomorrow
will be devoted \to the : reply of Frank
B. Kellogg for the government.
The hearing of the suit against the
Standard oil attracted , lawyers and
spectators from .all sections of the
country. Members of both houses of
"congress forsook their -respective
chambers to listen 'to the review of the
decree of the . circuit court of the
United ' States for the eastern district
of Missouri, dissolving the Standard
oil company : of -New Jersey as' a con
spiracy in restraint of trade and as a
monopoly in violation of the Sherman
law. . ... ... \u25a0\u25a0 '. : \u25a0. \u25a0 -. \u25a0\u25a0 -^
REVIEWS OCTOPUS' GROWTH • ' '.\u25a0'
The greater | part of ; Mllburn's ad
dress to the court consisted of a" re
view of the growth of the Standard oil
company. He attempted to -lay the
foundation for the claim that the cor
porations entering into, the reorgani
zation of ; the Standard oil company of
New Jersey in 1899 were noncompeti
tive because for many years they had
been j under so called common owner
ship.
He told of the tremendous size of the
business, and' explained how it had
grown. He said large factors in this
growth were the building of pipe lines,
which "anybody had a right to build,"
the building of refineries and the ex
tension of marketing facilities through
out this country and the world.
"We compete abroad - with great
corporations," he said, "that are pro
tected and shielded" by their govern
ments and compelled to combine so
that they may be powerful. We have
been able to meet them because of our
strength."
After a discussion of ' the general
meaning of monopoly, the attorney
reverted to the alleged monopolistic
conduct of the Standard oil.'
XO RESTRAINT OF TRADE
' Milburn said he did not believe that
the corporation was in restraint of
trade/in view of, the "common owner
ship." It had never restrained the lib
erties or capital of any one who has
entered into it, nor any one who was
its competitor, he asserted. Instead of
being a monopoly, It was urged by
Milburn "that the amount of business
Standard oil was doing was decreasing.
Justice Harlan asked Milburn If he
would call an organization of men to
buy air the coal lands in Pennsylvania
a conspiracy in restraint of trade and
a monopoly.
"The question you put is one difficult
of solution," .responded the counsel. He
explained to the court that »he was
really" getting "out of his line of busi
ness" in, discussing -monopolies.
. "I think you are In your line," said
Justice White.
"Well, the Sherman law Is very in
teresting," observed Milburn. "Napo
leon complained that the laws did not
lend themselves to the imagination,
but he had never read the Sherman
anti-trust act."
As to the charge that Standard oil
men corrupted railroad -officials to ob
tain information as to its competitors'
business, he asserted that' employes
found acting thus would be "discharged.
Experience had taught the Standard
oil, he said, that it had to be more
virtuous than most corporations.

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND DON'T KNOW IT
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are probably responsible for more
sickness and suffering than any other disease, therefore, when,
through neglect or other causes, kidney trouble is permitted to con-
tinue, serious results are sure to follow.
Your other organs may need attention — but your kidneys most,
because they do most and should have attention first.
If 'you -feel; that your kidneys are the cause of your sickness or
run down* condition, begin taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, because as soon as your kid-
neys begin to get better they will help all the other organs to health.
