BRITISH RULE IN EGYPT PRAISED BY ROOSEVELT Imrwrtant Political Results Ex« pected From Former Presi dent's Statements Noted American Leaves Khar tum for Cairo After Day of Banquets . JOHN CALLAN O'LAUGHLIN Copyright. ISIO. by the Tribune Company, Oilcso. [Special Difpatch to The Cell] KHARTUM, March ' 17. — Colo«el Roosevelt closed his stay tonight in Khartum, and, after affectionately bjd ding goodby to his companions on his long hunt, started for Cairo*. The hjial day was made up of various functions, one of which was at the Egyptian club, where he impressed the Egyptian offi cers with the importance of not mix ing politics with soldiering. Roosevelt intends to stop at Assouan and will inspect the dam at Luxor and Karnak. At Cairo he will stop four days, where Sir Elden Gorst, who is the British agrent of the khedive, gives a dinner. He will address the students of the Egyptian university, where he will urge the support of British rule and practically denounce the nationalist movement. The British expect this to have an important political effect in Egypt. Roosevelt leaves Alexandria March SO for Naples, and when he arrives in Rome he will be presented to the king and pope and thence will go to Vienna, where he will be the guest of Ambassador Hengelmuller. From there he will go to Budapest and will arrive in Paris April 19, where Colonel Roose velt's strong personality has won for him great popularity. . . . At Khartum the phlegmatic English men were aroused to enthusiasm by the magnetic character and the strong speeches for their continued control over the Sudan. They believe what he has said "will have a tremendous affect on the Sudanese Egyptians. Roosevelt will leave Paris for visits In Brussels, The Hague and Copen hagen. He also will lecture in Chris tiania May 3. He will visit Stockholm one day and th<*n go to Berlin, where he will meet the kaiser May 9. From there he will jro to London, which he expects to reach May 16. He is due to sail for home June 13. Colonel Roosevelt took the occasion on leaving- Khartum to once more re iterate his statement that he had not even thought of the political situation In America, and any statement that he was considering the governorship of New York or any other office was with out justification. PLEADS WITH WIFE TO RETURN TO HIM Pathetic Scene Witnessed in Judge VVeller's Court . A pathetic scene was witnessed in Police Judge Weller's court yesterday, when John Humphreys Implored his wife, Bertha, to return to him for the sake of their boy. But the woman was obdurate, and said that she would have nothing further to-<3o with him. Humphreys has charge of a small station for the Southern Pacific com pany, and his wife left him and their boy recently. He searched for her and found that she was employed in the Hammam baths. He came to the city, but she refused to see him. He met her in FlHmore street Wednesday and when lie pleaded with her to return to him she railed a policeman and had him arrested for disturbing the peace. Humphreys told the judge that his only excuse was that he loved his wife too much to»give her up. The judge sent them into his chambers and when they returned into court Humphreys sadly said that his efforts had been in vain, and he promised to leave the city and not trouble her again. The case was dismissed. VANDAL MAKES ATTEMPT TO WRECK ELEVATOR Special Watch Kept on Lincoln Building P. Rossi, one of the occupants^f the Lincoln building. Fifth anjl Market streets, complained to the Lincoln realty company a few days ago that for the third time within seven weeks an' attempt had been made to tamper with the elevators and pump machinery by greasing the contacts in the battery.

THE -SAN FRANCISCO CALL; FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1910. CHAMPAGNE COOLER CAUSE OF SUICIDE Lieut. Janney Was Angered by Wife's Gift of His Prop erty to Ames MANILA, March 17. — The military in quest < into the death of Lieutenant Clarence M. Janney developed the fact that a silver 'champagne' cooler was the- cause of the final quarrel which led the lieutenant to kill himself. The cooler priginally belonged to the lieutenant, and, according to the tes timony, was given to Lieutenant Colonel Robert F. Ames by Mrs. Jannefr. When Xhe lieutenant and his wife dined at the home of Ames last Saturday night Janney saw and recognized the cooler, whereupon he upbraided his wife for having given it to Ames. During the verbal exchange that fol lowed the lieutenant called Mrs. Jan ney a liar and insisted that she apolo gize to him. The wife apologized and the dinner was resumed, it being gen erally thought by the other guests that the incident was" closed. A little later, however, Janney left the 'house and. returned with a re volver, with which, according to the coroner and a military board of in quiry, he {shot liimself .in the presence of _ those, \at. the" table!" Mrs. Janney testified t|iat her husband and Lieu tenant Colonel Ames were intimate friends. "' In . arm;- circles, it is believed the action of* Major General William. H. Carter, commanding the department of Luzon, in'; returning the report of the board of inquiry with a request that furthr-r testimony be taken means that a court martial is contemplated. GOVERNMENT WILL SOON CONCLUDE MAYBRAY CASE Virginia Merchant Crossed Con- tinent to Lose $8,500 COUNCIL BLUFFS,' 'la.; March 17.— There was every evidence when Judge McPherson of the federal district coun announced a recess late this afternoon until 7:30 o'clock tonight that the trial of J." C. Maybray and associates for al leged wholesale swindling operations was nearingthe end. The government rested just before 5 o'clock and counsel for. the defense intimated that.no evi dence would be offered by them." All day long, new witnesses were called to the stand to add to the evi dence'before the jury.. Most of this consisted of letters and documents of fered by the prosecution to connect the various defendants with some specific allegation in the indictment. The. monotony of this "tedious work was relieved, however, just' before ad journment by the calling of John H. Sizer, a Virginia lumber merchant, who .testified to having traveled 3,000 miles to Los Angeles to wager^ $8,500 oh a horse race, in which, Willard Powell, one of the defendants, was one of the jockeys. , ' *- \u25a0 L * » .

These are npw nearly $25,000,000 lower than at the same time last year, and prospective further withdrawals of the metal necessitated measures to increase the bank's holdings. - > .''\u25a0', For some time India has been draw ing heavily on" the available supp.lies of gold and considerable sums are still wanted to move the large crops. In addition to this demand there is a large number, of foreign issues, including a big delivery of American bonds in ex change for British gold, to be provided for. •; Forthcoming- internal monetary requirements, also demand the building up of the reserve. ;^ It is quite unusual for the bank rate to be advanced at this time of the year. No doubt one ofV the chief, causes there for is the government's failure to col lect taxes.

''. The best authorities are agreed that large proportions of the bonds and note.s recently offered by American bankers have been placed abroad.
