CHEERED BY CROWDS Made Speech on South American Trip and Politics; Visited Wilson and Smithsonian Institute, In Nine Hours. Washington, May 26. Former Pres ident Theodore Roosevelt today came jack to the National capital where he spent seven years as Chief Executive. Into nine hours he crowded a speech on his South American expedition, a call on President Wilson, a political. talk with the Jf rogressives m con gress; a visit to the Smithsonian . In stitute to see the trophies from his African hunt of four years ago, a meeting with a few members of the diplomatic corps and a dinner with his old friends here. . . ' Besides there were a dozen im tromptu receptions from crowds in tke railway station, at his hotel in tne streets, and up. the avenue when he per chance stopped for a moment. The dav was such a hot and busy one, ti colonel's collar rapidly melt ed awav, but he showed no evidence of fatigue. The crowds, the cheer the struggles to shake hands, the pho tographers and all the rest were like old campaign days. The colonel smil ed and waved his hat continually, and fired out "Bully" and "By George, that's fine" at everything. He had a thoroughly good time. 1. , ' Progressive members of Congress vere at the party: headquarters to meet the Colonel after the lecture to night, and to go over the political-situation with him. It was understood that the Colonel wished to sound sen timent here, particularly with refer ence with the advisability of making an early attack on the policies of the Wilson administration. The Congress men for their part wished to go over the whole field with him, learn his ideas regarding matters now before Congress, and -if possioie map .-our a tentative plan for the - coming : cam paign. -.. ', fr, Col. Roosevelt protested, however, that politics was not the main, object of his visit to Washington. "It was for science, not for poli tics," he said. " - Little Politics In Visit With the exception of his confer ence with Progressive Congressmen, politics had little part in his , day's programme. He was too busy for that. Reports that while here he might meet Republican ' leaders came to naught, for the Colonel saw none of them. "Not a Republican showed his head," he said laughingly.- It was learned that before Col. Roosevelt left Oyster Bay a Republi can member of Congress telegraphed to him, asking for an appointment. Col. Roosevelt declined to discuss the matter, but it was understood he felt too much already had -been, crowded into the day, to permit" of such a meeting. Col. Roosevelt's icall on President Wilson was perhaps of greater inter est to the public than any other event of the day. The President and his predecessor spent more than half an hour together and talked of most everything except politics. Col. Roosgvelt went to the White v House dressed in a gray suit and a white felt hat. He had intended to don more formal attire, but there was too much else to do. When the Colonel arrived at the ex ecutive mansion he leaped out of his automobile with his old time vigor and walked quickly into the White House. The former President greeted Warmly "Jimmie" Sloan, a secret ser vice man, and other White House at taches who served during his admin istrations. Two Big Men Meet. " "I'm very glad to see you," said the President as the shook hands with Col. Roosevelt. They had met before and therefore no introductions were neces sary. After the" exchange. of greetings the President led the wayto the south portico of the White House where breezes from the Potomac made more bearable the extreme heat. TThere lemonade was served and the two men sat down for' a-long talk.' - Speaking of travel, . books, and tel hng stories, the two men seemed to enjoy their meeting greatly. All con troversial subjects were avoided, but the Colonel himself mentioned the River of Doubts which he discover ed in Brazil and joked over the con troversy about it. As he rose to' leave Col. Roosevelt inquired about the health of Mrs. Wilson, who is confined to her room, find thft President, n aired nnrtlrvnlarlv that the Colonel convey congratula tions to Kermit Roosevelt, who will be married nort month In "Madrid, Then they shook hands warmly and oi. Roosevelt walked quickly to hjs baiting machine.

Jacob August Riis became, through his work in behalf of the poorer peo ple in New-York "the most useful citi zen" of the metropolis, according to a tribute once paid to him by Theodore Roosevelt, his intimate friend. . As an almost penniless immigrant, he obtained (knowledge of the slums at first hand, and found conditions there os repellant that he consecrated his whole life to warfare against wretch edness. Riis led a varied career after com ing to America. He was born in Denmark in 1849. He built miners huts in a Pennsylvania construction camp, mined coal, made bricks,' drove a team and peddled fiat irons and books. At 27 he spent his last cent in reaching New York, hoping to enlist through the French consul in - the French army against Germany for the Franco-Prussian war, but his services were refused, and Riis was forced to accept a beginner's place as a report er, for a New York news bureau. At the very first he made his most con spicuous success in . the study of con ditions on the East Side of -New Yorte. -With only $75 capital and notes for $575 he succeeded; in 'buying' the "South Brooklyn News," which was on the verge of bankruptcy, and made such a success with the property that he was able to sell it at considerable nroflt-a few years later. He returned to Denmark and married the girl who had refused him when he began as a carpenterVapprentice. ThiB first wife died in 1905, and two-years later Riis married Mary PhillipT of St. Louis.

Morehead, and named Chairman Morehead and National Committeeman E. C. Duncan as two men representing the meeting to confer with leaders of the Progresi sives and Roosevelt Progressives. The one idea was to get the party united again and back to the strength of 115, D00 and more enjoyed in 1908. There was not the slightest nnpleasantness or disruptive sign, the meeting mov ing smoothly for two hours. ; .

Two propositions, were ; before the meeting. One was offered by Gilliam Grissom to the effect that a committee of seven be named to appoint a com mittee of three who would confer with representatives from the other wings of the party to the - end that & joint convention might be called.

Cabinet mem bers were optimistic today after an exhaustive review of all communica tions that have passed between Pres ident Wilson and the American ' com missioners to the Niagara Falls-Mexican mediation conference. It -was declared that negotiations had pro gressed fio far that a preliminary ba sis for peaceful solution of interna tional difficulties had been reached. This, it was said, soon would take the form of a protocol which probably would.be signed by agents of -General Huerta's government and the United States. No one would disclose what would be the terms of such a proto col. . When" the cabinet met the President laid before it developments that have come day by day in the exchanges be tween the ; American commissioners and the mediators and the stipula tions thus far proposed to the South American -envoys by - the representa tives of General Huerta. Among the messages received from the seat - of the. peace conference -was one con firmatory of press dispatches that one of Huerta's own enveys had declared that the .agrarian, question would not be permitted to disrupt the interna tional effort to avert war between the United States tand: Mexico and to in sure the ultimate restoration of peace to all Mexico. , No DetaUsy Given. While none of the cabinet members wnnld talk of details disclosed con cerning the progress of-mediation, all conveyed the impression, that nothing had ocdurred to cloud ; the horizon of peace.

Mr. Marshall was inclined to-the be lief that Federal prohibition legisla tion would be a violation of State's rights.

P. Jordan Shot to Death by Sister. , MRS. HAND UNDER BOND Tragedy Enacted In the , Home of Their Father,- Following Quarrel and Alleged Threats to " Take Sisters Life. . ; (Special Star Telegram.) Burgaw, N. C, May 26. A terrible tragedy was enacted; at the home of George F, Jordan, on Stag Pond, five miles east ' of Burgaw, at 9 : 3Q o'clock this morning,, when his daughter, Mrs. Grover C. Hand, shot and in stantly killed her brother, George P. Jordan. An inquest "was held late this afternoon V by the. coroner's jury, whose, verdict was that deceased came to bis 'death at the hands of his sis ter, and Mrs. Hand : was . arrested and placed finder bond., of . $1,000 for her appearance for trial at the next. term ot Pender Superior court. The reports - ol the circumstances leadine ud to the moment of the homi cide are conflicting. From the state ment of .an. old colored woman who witnessed the tragedy, it seems that Jordan and his sister had had some unpleasant words earlier in the morn ing, but that the quarrel had appar ently been passed over.- She says that Jordan i-went to the stable for some purpose, . and, after " picking up a lantern, started back to the house. Before he reached the house, his fath er, who was in the yard and who is very feeble, stumbled and fell. Mr. Jordan went to him, took him up and helped him to the back porch. Then George P. Jordan started - to walk through the passage way of the house; when his sister poked the' gun out of the door of the kitchen and fired,- the load . taking effect in his nieck, killing him instantly, according to the color ed woman's story. ' Another report of the affair, which story Is thought here to be probably the more .nearly - accurate,,- is. to the, effect that,v following a quarrel yester-. dav. which was renewed this morning, the younger - Jordan had.,; remained - around the house lor three -hours,-during which time he was, heard, to have loudly threatened to kill his sis ter, and that finally -he rushed into the house, -broke through the dodr in to the room into which Mrs. Hand had locked herself : for protectionand there the killing occurred, the woman having ' provided herself with a gup beforehand. It is said she fired a$ he approached her, after having rush ed the door. It is said that this ver sion of -the affair was given Mr. J. J. Moore, of Burgaw, by Mrs. Hand. It is understood that; Mrs. Hand claims the -killing was in defense of her own life. -After the' homicide, she, took, her father and Walked about a 'half .mile to - the vhome of her sister. Mrs. W. G. Casteen, where she calm ly told her sister. what she-had done. It is stated that the homicide" this morning was' but the climax to strain ed relations that had existed between the two for quite a while because of Jordan's - suspicions that his sisters, Mrs. Hand and Mrs. W. G. Casteen, were endeavoring to persuade their father to give them the advantage of their brother in . the division of his estaterwhiGh is said to amount to be tween " $15,000 and $20,000. Jordan lived with his father and Mr. and Mrs. Hand." ' ' '. . The report is that 'Jordan while sober and ' orderly, was' not , industri ous or thrifty, and' that he was de pending" largely upon his inheritance for his livelihood in the future, ac cording to appearances. It is one of the most deplorable af fairs h that ever occurred , in Pender county. Mr. , and Mrs. Hand have been making their home with her father for some time, the latter's wife having been dead several years and he having suffered a stroke of paraly sis some three or four years ago. He is almost helpless. - " :v SLIM PROSPECTS FOR VOTE Oil TOLLS REPEAL J Give Up Hopes for Ballot on Measure This Week. - Several Senators Gave Notice, of Their Intentlton to Speak on Question Friday No. Session of Sen ate Saturday. .

The question of, the use of fermented and ."unfer- inented wine in the Communion ser-. vi'ce today provoked commissioners attending the General Assembly , of the Presbyterian church .in the Unit ed States (Southern) . into a lively discussion.
