That Mr. Roosevelt, while constantly

all professing the deepest hatred

suppressed a report showing that g
the harvester trust was an illegal

That Mr. Roosevelt was so frightened
by the possibility of tariff sgstation
during his more than seven ^
'years of office that In all his mes- ^

made any mention of tariff except to o
say. once, that he would discuss it
in a future message; which state- ^
ment he withdrew from the message
before It reached Congress.
lf^the present scramble for delegates"
continues a while longer It
may safely be said, therefore, that ,
both Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt, at ^

OF NAVIGATION
*'1
pectal to the Daily News
PMlsdelpbla, Pa.. May 21.?Dele- I
ations representing more than
venty nations and consisting ot the
lost noted experts in inland and
cean navigation of their respective
Duntrles have already arrived in
bis city and additional delegations \
re expected to reach Philadelphia ]
>day and tomorrow, in time for the ,
penlng of the Twelfth International ]
ongress of Navigation, on Thurs- i
ay. In - accordance with the ar- j
angements of the local committee it
i charge of the congress the great- *
r part of tomorrow will be devoted
> a general reception and mutual In- |
redaction of the delegates. The t
ongress will hold its first general 1
iseting at the Metropolitan Opera ]
louse on Thursday and it is expect- (
d that President Taft, who has ac
epted the honorary presidency and '
ms prdmlsedTlo attend the opening .
lesslon, will deliver the opening adIress.
Response will be made by M.
Uexls Dufrourny of Brussels, a high
tfficer of the Belgium Engineering
2orps, who is one of the former presdents
of the International Congress.
This will be the first time that one i
)f these congresses is held in the
United States. Previous congresses
Nlave all been held In Europe, the
last at St. Petersburg in 1908! Preceding
this there were similar congresses
at intervals of three or four
years In Beglium, Prance. Italy,
England, Germany, Holland and Aus
i..o. nnu oacii congress interest
ind attendance increased as the nations
realised the valuable work being
done. The discussions and conclusions
of these gatherings form
the best existing guide for all navigation
problems that may arise, because
they represent the world's
best experts.
The Invitation- to hold the twelfth
congress in America was accepted
with enthusiasm because this country
offers wha is largely a new and
quite enormous field for the attention
of navigation experts and a
great number of new and highly important
problems growing out* of the
Panama Canal, the Cape Cod Canal
tnd the numerous inland canals and
waterways planned or in course of
construction in the United States.
The recent Titanic disaster has made
the safety of ocean travel a subject
of the most intense interest to all
seafaring nations and the dlcusaion
by the unfortunate event will form
part of the program and will undoubtedly
,occupy the attention of
the Congress for some time. In
view of the many new and exceedingly
important questfon to be considered
during the five, days' session of
the Congress and in view, alser of
the Unusually large attendance, it is
Bxpected that this congress will I
greatly surpass its predecessors in
Interest and Importance.
It is exepcted that more than thir- I
ty nations of the world will be represented
at this congress by official
delegates and in addition by a large
number of unofficial delegates, mostly
navigation experts and engineers
prominently ?identified with inland
jor ocean navigation in their respective
countries.

"Cool weather will prevail,"
the bulletin continues, "the first

to warmer weather In this
region about Wednesday. The
weather over the country during
the week will be-generally fair,
