MUNNSOo New York 361 Broadway, Eiiiuct Office. 525 St_ Washington, D. C. MAY BE HELD IN 3T. PAUL Next Meeting of National Conserva tion Congress. The National Conservation congress may assemble some time this summer or early fall in St. Paul. If it does former President Roosevelt will de liver his promised address to the del egates there. This was the statement made by Governor Eberhart when it was learned that his private secretary, Ralph W. Wheelock, is trying to ar range at Washington for the meeting to be held at St. Paul. Mr. Wheelock was given the power by Governor Eber hart to make all arrangements pos sible and secure the congress for Min nesota. "We want the congress" said Gov ernor Eberhart, "and we shall bend every effort to secure it. It is logical that the state which took the lead in starting a campaign for state conser vation of resources should be the first to entertain the national body." TIOINSS FROM mm 1 Interesting News From Sweden, Norway and Denmark. SEEKS TO INVALIDATE SALE Albert Vystrom, Who Disposed of His Remains to Swedish Anatomical In stitute, Wants to Buy Himself Back. Thousands of Fishing Boats at Work Along the Coast of Norway—Spell ing Reform Movement in Penmark. *2* 4* *$* 4* *f* *5* *f* *S* *$* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* SWEDEN. Albert Vystrom, who accepted a fee several years ago from the Royal Swedish Anatomical institution for possession of his skeleton after his death and subsequently met with a refusal from the institute when he fought to buy himself back, appealed from the lower courts, which held that the institute had a right to Vystrom's "framework," which it need not re linquish unless it choose. Vystrom was a destitute man when he made the bargain with the institute, but has since come into a fortune. He argues that the agreement is of a na ture to put a premium on murder, in case the purchaser should become im patient to possess his skeleton, and, as such, is contrary to public policy The institute maintains that there are peculiarities in Vystrom's construc tion, which it desires, in due season, to investigate more closely than is possible except on the dissecting ta ble. Another thing particularly an noying to Vystrom in the lower court's decision was an order that he pay damages to the institute for hav ing had two teeth extracted without the institution's permission, the lat ter having put in the counter claim when Vystrom began suit against it. A great Swedish song festival will be held in Stockholm in 1912 in con nection with the Olympian games which will be held in that city that year. All the leading singing socie ties and soloists of Sweden will visit Stockholm on that occasion and the plans are to make it the largest and most representative sangerfest on rec ord. Indeed, it will be the greatest sangerfest ever held in the world and the plans are henceforth of a large order. No efforts will be spared to qjake it a great affair and King Gus taf himself is said to be willing to serve as chairman of the executive committee. This announcement will practically guarantee the financial phase of it and large sums of money will undoubtedly be contributed by leading business houses all over the country. The typographers of Stockholm have organized an emigration fund with a view of aiding all of the members of the Typographical union who desire to emigrate to America. There are at least 100 typographers in Stockholm at present who are out of work ,&nd this is one reason why the organiza tion has taken such a singular step. This is practically aiding Swedish emigration to America and naturally enough the Anti-Swedish Emigration society is up in arms about the mat ter. Prince Wilhelm's palace, "Oakhill," on Djurgarden is fast approaching its completion and after a few details have been attended to the royal pair can occupy it at any time. Much in terest attaches to this new palace. It will be thing in remembered that every connection with it will be strictly English. During his absence at the Riviera King Gustaf travels under the name of Count of Tullgarn. Recent dis patches from there state that the king's health has already been very much improved and that he is in the very best of spirits. The crown prince and crown princess will spend a part of the sum mer at Sofiero. They are expected to arrive at Sofiero during the latter part of May. The Royal Geographical society of London has awarded Carl Skottsberg, a member of the Otto Nordenskiold South polar expedition, the Murchin son prize. A banker named Jansson of Stock holm, who a few days ago celebrated his fiftieth birthday, has donated $10, 000 to the Stockholm high school. •ji e|e eje e|e *2* *1* NORWAY. 4* 4* 4® 4* *i* *1* 4® *1* 4* 4* The flash of a spark from a motor boat is beginning to mark the pres ence of fishing fleets and the light, fast pleasure boats, likewise engine driven, are penetrating the fjords of the Scandinavian peninsula and re sort-fringed shores everywhere. Up on the west coast of Norway, accord ing to consular reports, is one of the most ideal places in the world for such pleasure craft. There are "wa terways that run up into mountains and, protected from the ocean by a continuous series of islands, afford the finest sailing and boating amid unsurpassed scenery. The cod fish ing far north on the coast of Norway, so much nearer the coast than other cod fisheries, has brought the motor boats into special demand for that purpose. Consul Taylor of Stvanger reports to Washington that there are 5,000 fishing boats altogether on the west coast alone in a comparatively small water area and that the catcl* of cod between Feb. 1 and the last of the month will exceed 40,000,000 pounds. This opens a market for the motorboat possibilities. Indications are that the tourist traf fic fa Norway will assume great pro portions this year. The Norwegian Tourist association has been busy this winter and has been doing a great deal of advertising. However, Norway as a tourist country is getting to be so welj known that it scarcely needs any advertising. Tourists from all parts of the world have already been there and they have spread the fame of Norway's mountains and fjords over the entire globe. The tourist industry brings lots of money to the country and the Norwegians aim to take care of it and are doing everything in their power to increase it. Amundsen, the undaunted, will start for the polar regions in May. While Mr. Amundsen has been disap pointed in financial backing he claims ROALD AMUNDSEN. that he has sufficient funds and equ ment to go right ahead with his poiar work and he certainly is not a quit ter under any consideration. During his coming visit to Chris tiania Colonel Roosevelt will be the guest of King Haakon at the royal palace. The university will award him the honorary title of doctor of philosophy. It is significant that Mr. Roosevelt will be the first person who will be thus signally honored by the university. The stock company which owns and controls the Grand hotel, Christiania, reports a net income this year over and above expenses amounting to 123,300 crowns and has declared a dividend of 10 per cent to the stockholders. There are hundreds of laboring men who are idle throughout the country. The central bureau in Christiania states that at least 7 per cent of the members of the various labor unions are out of work. 4s *2* 4* 4* *i* *2* *2* •J* DENMARK. It is interesting to note that a spell ing reform movement has been start ed in Denmark. It seems to have taken hold of people in earnest, as even the newspapers are commencing to give considerable attention to the matter. It is proposed to eliminate the double a and introduce in place of it the Swedish a, with a ring over it. It would seem that this would, from all viewpoints considered, be the more feasible way of using the a, as the double a certainly does seem super fluous. Yet the reform in spelling will of course meet opposition. Some people will take the stand that it will never do to imitate the Swedes, but when it comes to language matters the Swedes claim that they have a few things to teach their Scandina vian brethren. However thi3 may be, the reform movement in spelling in Denmlrk is assuming interesting pro portions. There has been much trouble with the parcels post system recently in Copenhagen and now it develops that wholesale swindles in this department of the government have been going on for years. One J. C. Larson has confessed to swindling, stating that he has been pursuing this kind of work for a number of years without being discovered. The sum involved amounts to more than 20,000 crowns. It appears that Larson, in the capacity of superintendent, permitted the swin dles, which recently assumed such large proportions that he thought the only way was to go and confess it all He will be tried and sent to prison in the near future, as he himself ex pressed the wish to go to prison and serve his time. Danish postal statistics state that about 8,000 persons are employed in the mail service of Denmark. Fifty years ago, there were only 600. About 3,600 persons carry the rural mails and 1,465 the urban mails. The num ber of pieces carried last year was 303,000,000, of which 163,000,000 were letters and postal cards. About 15, 000,000 letters went to foreign coun tries, and 17,000,000 came from foreign countries. MARION S. NORELIUS. Colonel Roosevelt Received by Austrian Emperor. BRANDS STORY AS FALSEHOOD Denies Stating He Would Again Run for Presidency. Vienna, April 16.—Colonel Theo 4&re Roosevelt was received at the jj^iistrian capital in manner almost like jlit^t accorded a reigning sovereign The punc{il.iouB Austrian court, the gapst ceremonial of those of Europe, jpid arranged the programme and it l6|t nothing undone which would em pnkside the unprecedented honor that was being paid the visiting American As a special mark of his personal esteem the aged emperor-king, Francis Joseph, received Colonel Roosevelt in his private apartments at the impos ing H6fburg palace instead of in the ?«gular audience chamber. The mon g.fch, who was attifed in an irpperial gniform, was extremely gracious to the American and kept him in con versation f®r thirty-five minutes. What interesting subjects they found to dis eijss has not transpired, as they were alone, and Colonel Roosevelt naturally has declined to reveal the slightest detail of the conversation. Emperor Francis Joseph intended personally to return Colonel Roose velt's call on his way out to the Schoenbrunn castle, where the mon arch ustHSlly passes the night, but was deterred from so doing by a sudden storm. Therefore, he was compelled to send his aide-decamp. Such an honor as a relurn visit from the emperor is only •xtended to reigning sovereigns. Brands Story as Falsehood. One of the first things Roosevelt did on arriving here was to again brand as a fake a statement that he had consented to be a candidate for the presidency again. The statement this time was contained in the Paris Herald, which quoted one of its Ital ian correspondents. The colonel"positively asserted that the story was a pure fake, that neith er he nor Gifford Pinchot had said anything that could possibly warrant such a statement. In this connection Roosevelt said his meeting with Pinchot was not to be interpreted as a desire to hear only one side of the conservation contro versy. "I want to hear all sides on all questions," the colonel said, "and 1 shall be glad to see any one who can enlighten me on political conditions. I am sorry Senator Root could not come to Europe." The colonel made it plain that he •would stand for principles upon his return to America, regardless of par ties or persons. In concluding his re marks regarding the Paris Herald the eolonel said: "As this is the third false statement in the Herald of a similar character I might further decline to see the rep resentatives of that paper." CHIEF OF POLICE INJURED One Result of Roosevelt's Visit to Budapest. Budapest, April 19.—Colonel Roose velt's visit to Budapest has already cost the chief of police a broken leg and if the enthusiasm of the Hun garian populace continues throughout his stay there is no telling what the final count will be. The chief of police was caught in the crush at the railway station, knocked down and trampled on. He tried his best to save himself by tell ing the people who he was, but the great throng was bent on just one thing—getting just as near Roosevelt as possible—and had the chief been emperor it is probable the result would have been the same. Roosevelt said the struggle at the station reminded him of a New York department store bargain day rush. He was literally raised off the ground and carried forty feet by the enthusi astic mob, but emerged without a scratch. IOWA'S LOSS IS VERY HEAVY Freezing Weather Costs State More Than Five Millions. Des Moines, April 19.—Secretary .Wesley Green of the Iowa state horti cultural department estimated that the loss of Iowa's fruit and vegetable rop from the freezing weather will jj)e far in excess of 55,000,000. He as ierts that early fruit, cherries and ?lums in particular, have been totally destroyed, while vegetables may be replanted, thus regaining a portion of the loss. St. Paul, April 19.—The plum crop has been ruined by the recent snow and freezing temperatures, the crab apple crop has been seriously affected and the gooseberry and currant crops are practically ruined. The cold and snow have not affected the grains. On the other hand the snow was a good thing for them and for garden truck. Only the hardier vegetables have been planted and these were not hurt by the drop in temperature. HAVENS AND ALDRIDGE. Victor and Vanquished in New York Congressional Contest. W 4 DEMOCRATS GAIN SEAT Elect Congressman in Repub lican Sironghold, Rochester, N. Y., April 20.—Between 6,000 and 8,000 voters of Monroe coun ty changed from the Republican to the Democratic column and elected the first Democratic congressman that has represented the Thirty-second dis trict in twenty years. James S. Ha vens, a Democrat, running on a tariff reform platform, defeated George W. Aldridge, for a score of years the ruler of the county Republican organization, by 5,900 votes. Monroe county, which comprises the Thirty-second congressional district, is normally Republican by about 6,000. James Breck Perkins, whose death in the middle of his third congressional term necessitated a special election, carried the district in 1908 by 10,167. votes. Havens had arrayed against him one of the strongest political organizations in the state. Yet in a campaign last ing but seventeen days, and v/ith has tily constructed machine, he accom plished one of the most remarkable overturns in political history. Rochester is a city of both homes and factories. Monroe county is one of the state's garden spots, crowded with productive farms. Rochester has a reputation as a manufacturer of men's clothing, shoes, photographic supplies, buttons and various small wares that require skilled labor. SECURE MORE THAN $10,000 Burglars B!ow Safe in Bank at Spring City, Tenn. Spring City, Tenn., April 15.—Rob bers blew the vault of the First Na tional bank of this place and escaped with more than $10,000. Bloodhounds were placed on the trail, but thus far the safeblowers have not been appre hended. One of the robbers shot at S. E. Paul, assistant cashier of the bank. Paul was unhurt. ALL QUIET AT CHANGSHA Property of All Foreign Missions De stroyed. Hankow, April 19.—The latest news received from Changsha, where the natives have been rioting and have de stroyed the property of foreign mis sionaries, is that all is quiet. The provincial treasurer has taken charge of affairs, the governor of the province having been killed by the rioters. DAUGHTER AT HIS BEDSIDE Her Presence Brightens Mark Twain, Who Is Seriously III. Redding, Conn., April 19.—Accord ing to those in attendance Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain), who is ill at his home, Stormfield, is a little im proved. Mrs. Ossip Gabrilovitch, Mr. Clemens' daughter, has arrived from Europe and her presence seemed to brighten her father materially. Minister Calhoun at Peking* Peking, April 17.—William J. Cal houn, the ntiwly appoisted minister to China, arrived here and was met at the railway station by members of the American legation, & representative ol the foreign office awl the legation marine guard.
