Roosevelt Indignantly De
nies Printed Report of
Presidential Candidacy
VIENNA. April 15.—Roosevelt
was Indignant today when he learned
that a report had been printed In
Paris and cabled to America that
one of the results of his recent con
ference with Gifford Pinchot was an
agreement on the part of the former
president to the use of his name as
a candidate for the presidency.
Mr. Roosevelt again reiterated that
be bad not and would not “make any
declaration In regard to American
politics while in Europe.” He had
received and talked with Mr. Pinchot,
be said, as he would receive and talk
with any other political friend. He
said he would hereafter decline to
receive the newspaper correspondent
who had given currency to the re
port.
The story to which Mr. Roosevelt
referred appeared originally In the
Seclo Plex, of Genoa, and was re
peated in special dispatches to Paris
and thence to the United States. It
stated that Mr. Roosevelt had reach
ed an agreement with Mr. Pinehot
and that if It became opportune he
would become a presidential candi

velt arrived here at 6:45 this morn
ing. After receiving welcome at the
station from an official party, they •
entered a court carriage and drove to
tho hotel Kranz, where they break
fasted with Henry White, formerly
American Ambassador to Prance.
Following a visit to the foreign of
fice, the former president lunched
with American Ambassador Kerens
and Baron Hengelmueller. At 2
o’clock this afternoon Mr. Roosevelt
again entered a court carriage and
•drove to Hofburg palace, where he
was received In audience by Kmperor
Francis Joseph In the ruler’s private
apartments. As Mr. Roosevelt enter
ed the court yard the palace guard
turned out and rendered military
honors.
From the palace Mr Roosevelt vis
ited the Capuchin church, in the
vaults of which rest the bodies of the
Hapsburgs. There he placed wreaths
on the tombs of Empress Elizabeth
and Crown Prince Rudolph. Leaving
•the church, Mr. Roosevelt made a
round of official calls.

‘‘As you may know, the defendants
were Indicted oy the federal grand
jury for driving stock on the nation
al forest reserves without permit,
i uey demurred to indictments on the
ground the law under which the regu
lations are made is unconstitutional
in that it undertakes to delegate leg
islative power to administrative of
ficers. The courts sustained the de
murrers and the United States ap
pealed to the Supreme court, which
affirmed the decision of the lower
court by an even division of the Jus
tices. there being four for affirmance
and four against, the ninth member
not sitting.
No written opinion was rendered
and could not be in the nature of the
case because of the even division of
the Justices. Being evenly divided,
their decision merely amounted to an
"■ffirmance of the lower court on
these Dartlcular cases without any
binding force iu ">m«onnent case
that may arise for violation of the
regulations of the secretary govern
ing grazing on the national forests,
it should be perfectly clear that if
Judge Wellburn (the trial Judge) had
refused to sustain the demurrers and
the defendants had appealed the case
to the Supreme court, this decision
would have been affirmed with equal
force. It is the Intention of the sec
retary of agriculture to request the
attorney general to bring another
similar case before the Supreme court
as soon as one arises, in the hope
mere may be a full bench and that a
final and authoritative decision of the
court will be rendered. Pending the
time the £>upeme court renders such
a decision, the regulations will con
tinue to be enforced to as full extent
as in the past, and no change will be
made in the present system of regu
lating grazing on the national for
est unless it is caused by such spe
cific act of congress.
“The national forester states the
courts do not question the right of
the government to enforce its regu
lations by civil actions, but clearly
vlolations of these regulations can
not bo held as criminal nor punish
able as such."

THE CAPITAL
E
■■ — -
WASHINGTON, April 15.—A sym
posium on open air meetings was
one of the features of today's session
of the Woman Suffrage association,
at which some of the open air work
ers exchanged their experiences and
gave their ideas for the best success
of open air gatherings.
Susan W. Fitzgerald, of Boston, de
clared three things essential to the
successful out of door speaker in the
cause of equal franchise. They were,
she said, a dogged determination to
make good, no matter what occurs;
voices of good carrying power; an
understanding of the audience, a
power of mental adjustment and a
sense of humor.
“Some people stop from curiosity
when they see a woman speaking,"
said Miss Fitzgerald. “Many atop be
cause they think it is a salvation
army meeting, or someone advertis
ing patent medicines. Others stop
because it is warm and they are
lazy and it is easier to stand still
than to move on.
"You’ve got to go where the peo
ple are,” counseled the speaker. “It
is absolutely useless to expect them
to come to you. The audience not
only will not come off the thorough
fare to a quiet spot, but won’t cross
th^street.
This mcaiio irnii have got to face
the question of noise, ana we tuu-a
that a trolly transfer point or some
equally busy place was about the
best place for the meeting. It is
hard to talk down the noise of cars,
but it is a lot more encouraging than
to talk to nobody.
‘‘There's no use having a prear
ranged subject. If you find they do
not respond to your points drop them
and take up something that does hit
them. The plea of democracy, the
need of the working woman and the
tax paying argument tell best,” said
the speaker.
The report of the Oklahoma Wom
an SufTrage Association presented to
the national convention by President
Kate H. Biggers shows that the wom
en of the new state are leading a de
termined fight. A petition bearing
nearly 40,000 signers to strike the
word “male" from the state consti
tution has been prepared and asks
that the question be submitted to
the voters at the next special or reg
ular election in Oklahoma in 1910.
Mrs. Biggers reported that one of
the surprises in store came when they
presented the petition to the secre
tary of state. The women, being po
litical nonentities, could not take the
receipt. The secretary of the Okla
homa Federation of Labor consented

Admissions as to Price
Fixing Give Congression
al Committee Good Start
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 15.—
The astonishingly (rank confession of
John Newman, president of the so
called Elgin Board of Trade, also
known as the “Butter Board," telling
how five men meet in Elgin, 111. every
Monday mornfng and fix the price for
the week that consumers of $13,964,
000 worth of butter annually must
pay for the product, and how no
dealer dare undersell the quotations
fixed by the “Butter Board,” bore
fruit here today, when department
of justice ordered O. E. Harrison, the
“trust-busting” expert of the depart
ment, to begin a searching investiga
tion into the alleged violations of the
Sherman Anti-Trust law by the men
who constitute the Butter Trust.
Newman's testimony before the
senate com nlttce on the high cost of
living yesterday caused considerable
surprise here. Congressmen who are
agitating a repeal of tne oleomarga
rine tax say they will offer the testi
mony at the oleomargarine hearings,
which will open before the house
committee on agriculture April 2C.
It has been charged by the supporters
of the proposed oleomargarine legis
lation that the “Butter Board” did
the very things Newman admits, but
they never have had this evidence
from such an authoritative source.
At the department of justice it Is
said that Newman has made out such
a strong probable case of violation
of the Anti-Trust law as to warrant
the department proceeding with an
investigation looking to prosecution.
In brief, Newman testified that
five men met in Elgin every Monday
morning to fix the prices for the week
at which members of the Elgin as
sociation must sell their product;
that a dealer who undersells the
quotations is expelled from the as
sociation; that this condition Is made
possible through the co-operation of
the creameries, the farmers and the
dealers In butter, and that. In fixing
the price of butter, the board takes
Into consideration the butter offered

ascribed the high cost of butter to
the high price of hay. and described
the “Elgin district’ as comprising all
of the state of Illinois, the lower
three tiers of counties of W isconsln
and the eastern tier of counties of
j Iowa.

COLD SNAP CAUSES LARGE
DAMAGE TO CROPS IN UTAH
Fruit Wiped Out in Some Places*•
Half to Third Saved in Others
HALT LAKK, April in.—Reports from nil sections of the state are
to the effect that the heavy damage to the fruit crop lias hern caused hy
the frost and cold weather of the past two days. In some localities the
loss is thought to lie almost total. However, ill places where smudge pots
are In use it is estimated that from a third to half u crop will be saved.
The change in the weather was very sudden and general over a large
area. It caught the furmers entirely unprepared. Their losses have made
for much gloom, particularly in the fruit sections.
