Khartoum, March 16 Tiieodore Roosevelt today finaly and definitely swept away all hope that be would accede to the request of . western commercial interests and return to America via San Francisco, making a triumphal trip across the continent. F. G. Bonfils, the Denver pewspa pcr owner who canfe here with an invitation-signed by all the farther western chambers of commerce, after this second declaration by the for mer president, today admitted that his 10,000 mile race against time to meet Mr.Roosevelt here had been fu tile so fate as the "back door" return plan was concerned, but said that in every other way the experience had been a most pleasureable one. The principal reason given by Mr. Roosevelt for declining the invitation is that he must return to the United States by way of New York to be in time to atend the wedding of Theo dore Roosevelt, Jr., to Miss Eleanor II. Alexander. The real reason, however, it Is de clared although' Mr. Roosevelt maintain silence on ail matters polit icalis that he does not wish to dim the glory of President Taft, and such a journey across the American con tinent as has been planned by the westerners would surely be nothing less than a monster political demon stration, in spite of Mr. Roosevelt's efforts to maintain his status as a pri vate character. Mr. Roosevelt has made one con cession, however, in that he has promised to visit penver and Chey enne next August when Frontier Day celebrations are to be held In those cities.

Washington, March Ki The action of Kentucky, following close on that of Virginia, in rejecting the proposed amendment to the constitution of the United States to provide for an Income tax, is regarded as ominous by the ad vocates of the Income tax in the house nnd senate. ; The proposed amendment, to the con stitution was submitted to. the states last August. Alabama adopted it with in three weeks after It was submitted to the legislature. The Georgia legis lature passed it over without action. South Carolina adopted it some days ago, while Virginia rejected it. Instead f the states rushing, madly over one another In their eagerness to vote for sin income tax "as predicted they have been supremely slow and the opinion now prevails.-based on Kentucky's ap lion, that the amendment will fail. Up to date but four states have taken jmBltivc .action, the other 42 having , shevn more or less indifference. 'New York's decision, it is believed, will have much to do with the outcome in neigh boring states. '-.'-''".. Gasoline Explosion. (By J,eased Wire to The Times.) Camde-n, K.

(By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, March 16 Attorney D. T. Watson, of Pittsburg, began his argument in behalf of the Standard Oil Company today a little after noon in the United States supreme court. He said there has been no change in the original oil company group which existed in 1879, and that the business 'had expanded until the Standard Oil Company was organized in 189D. , ; . . ..- "There is nothing in the Sherman act,' he said, "that limits the amount of wealth or number of people who may engage in business and there can be no competition among the compa nies:, that formed the combination for the j-enson that a man could not com pete with himself." . He referred to the Northern Secur ities case, and pointed out that there was nothing In that decision that can possibly have any bearing on the case now before the. court. He charged that the government is endeavoring to go outside the recoi'ds and pre sent trtatter tbat has not been passed on by the lower courts. He thought ths should not be done as it was against the. rules ' of the United States supreme court. Attorney-general Wickersham fol lowed his brief very closely. He spoke of the methods employed by the Standard Oil Company to hold the business together. He then gave a brief history of how the parent company, with a capital of $10,000,-. 000 increased this Capital to $100, 000,000 by taking In 113 different corporations.
