Roosevelt Meets Cordial Welcome
From German Emperor.
Theodore Roosevelt, advocate of in
ternational peace with the big stick,
and Kaiser Wilhelm II, Eurorpe’s
strenuous war lord, met Tuesday for
the first time.
Though the death of Edward VII
altered the official plans for the re
ception of the ex-president of the
IJnited States, the kaiser gave him a
brotherly welcome. Shortly after his
arrival here from Stockholm, Mr.
Roosevelt, accompanied by his family.
Was whisked out to the royal estate

received with open arms and little
show of formality.

Tennessee Republicans Join Anti-

Leaders of the republican party in
^Tennessee held a conference at the

Since the pardon of Colonel Dun-

Three Daring Men Are Drowned Off
the Alabama Coast.
The daring of William Olson, so»
of the lighthcruse keeper at Fort Mor
gan, Ala.; William Peterson, ex-sailor,
and Albert Thomas, three men em
ployed as laborers at Fort Morgan,
Ala., has doubtless cost their lives.
After finishing their labors Thursday
afternoon the missing men, accompa
nied by a painter named Zyboski,
crossed the channel ta Fort Gaines,
about three miles from Fort Morgan.
All with the exception of Zyboski
resolved to return to Fort Morgan in
spite of a gale blowing 40 miles an
hour, also of a strong outgoing chan
nel current. Effcrrts to find the party
have been fruitless, and the only
hope, a meager one, is some vessel
has picked up the frail craft. A tug
boat searched surounding Islands
without result.

Who Entered Residence,
Evidently the victims of burglars,
Charles W. Beman, a hindoo butler,
and Margaret ^eshan, an aged house
keeper, were found murdered in the
residence of Dr. Mott D. Cannon, in

The two had been killed some time
during the physician’s absence. Re
turning, Dr. Cannon discovered the
bodies.
The butler, wha was 25 years of
age, and the old housekeeper had
both been shot.
Examination of the physician’s
study showed that the top drawer of
a bureau had been, “jimmied’* open
and $100,in bills, $100 in silver, and
several valuable gold stickpins taken.
Nothing else in the house was touch

F. AUGUSTUS HEjNZE,
of his brother’s firm, Otto Heinze &
Co. A jury in the criminal branch of
the United States circuit court, after
a trial lasting nearly three weeks,
found him not guilty, and he was dis
charged.
Thus failed ingloriously the federal
government’s attempt to hold Heinze
responsible for financiering during the
panic of three years ago alleged to be
in violation of the national* ^a^lcing
laws. Charles W. Morse got fifteen
years for “bank wrecking,” but
Heinze’s transactions were held legal,
notwithstanding the prosecution’s
vigorous attempt to prove him a gam
bler with millions not his own.

WANTS VANDERBILT.
Dallas, Texas, Would Like to Have
U*niversity Located . There.
Dallas, Texas, wants Vanderbilt
tmiversity brought to that city from
its present location at Nashville,
Tenn., and so anxious is the Texas
city to have this famous institution
established there that offers of fabu
lous sums and many acres of ground
will be made to the board of trust,
as an inducement when the affairs of
the university ccmae up for discussion
before the conference.
The board of trade of Dallas is in
teresting itself in the movement of the
school and has offered $400,000 cash
and as much as will be necesary, to
gether with a choice site for the
schoors location.
French Idea of Heaven.
“As the Dutch make cleanliness a re

once met a Frenchman who said, ‘My
idea of heaven is eating pate de foie

Over Two Thousand Delegates At
tend Big Convention.
More than 2,500 delegates are at
Baltimore to attend the Southern
Baptist Convention. Joshua Lever
ing, of Baltimore, is president of the
convention, and it was authoritatively
stated that he will be re-elected to*
that office.
Having no legislative authority, the
convention will simply approve or dis
approve questions, but it prpbably
will take a stand on the liquor ana
other important issues.
It will be asked to approve re
quests for about $1,350,000 for various
works of the denomination. St. Jos
eph, Mo., Fort Worth and other Tex
as cities and Jacksonville, Fla., are
in the contest for securing the next
convention.

SPORTING Because he talked
AFFAIRS “too much baseball” Ar
thur Laycayette, a wealthy Cuban,
who resided • in this city, has been
committed to Bellevue hospftal for
examination as to his sanity, says an
exchange. The committal was made
at the request of his daughter, who
beKsame alarmed over her father's
condition after he remarked in the
lobby of an up-town hotel that he
T^as confident he could “beat any ball
player in the National league.”
Racing will not be reestablished
in Louisiana at this session of the

nounced that he would veto any meas
ure repealing the LocEe law. This

the Chicago Nationals, who did most
of the work for the locals behind the
bat, has been sold to the Philadel
