He was closely guarded, unbeknown to him, and in the audience was scattered a strong force1 of secret policy v His subject was The Futility of Political Assassination." The students of the university, many of whom are radical, listened attentively, at times applauding enthusiastically. The others of the audiences, which included some of the best known men, Egyptian and European, In the country, at times be trayed enthusiasm. Mr. Roosevelt drew on the history of the United States for three examples of futile assassination the throe "martyr presidents." About the University grounds there was a pig crowd drawn from the lower classes the nationalists being In the majority, gtrong police guards kept them back, and struggled hard to pre vent conrestion. ..'.-'' The fear that the occasion would be slezed by the opponents of England's rule for a demonstration led the author ities to strain every resource of pre vention." .

' A WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE HELD (By' Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington, March 28 It was said this morning by several members of the Ohio congressional delegation who attended the white house conference lust' night -which lasted until long after midnight, that the Ohio political situ ation was not discussed. This aseition may be accepted with a certain allow ance in view of the somewhat precari ous political condition existing in that state, views from a republican stand point. It Is asserted by the represent atives who were at the conference that anything but Pesldent" Taft's legisla tive program was considered. The presi dent said that he did not wish the Ohio delegation to assume that he is attempt ing to Interfere with the rights of con gress In the matter of legislation but he had merely called the conference to ascertain .from the members of congress what they thought of the prospects of securing the passage of the bills recom mended .in his. annual message and which were endorsed by the party plat form. . Prerldent Taft discussed the naval program of two battleships the con servation measures, the- railroad bill, the anti-Injunction bill and the postal savings bank bill. Nothing, however, was said of the ship subsidy bill which has been reported to the house. Representatice Douglass of Ohio ex plained this morning that as the presi dent had been -away from, Washington for some days he had deemed it ad visable to send for . the delegation to discuss the prospects for the early pas sage of 'the administration's leglsla- Hive program. There was a general un animity of opinion. Representative Douglass said, and the president was assured that the delegation would give hearty support to the measures recom mended. H ' .-..' . ' i ' ' Another conference' may be called when the postal savings bank bill' In reported to .the house as there is a de cided division of opinion on this. bill. It Is virtually admitted that President Taft will not get Just the bill he wants. The general . construction placed on last night's white house conference by some politicians Is that the president Is decidedly alarmed at the delay of 111 senate and , house In pushing his measures through, and that he has awakened to the fact that the outlook forthelr passage is not entirely en couraging.

(By- Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington, March 28 Congress has been in session four months lacking a few days, yet the first ad ministrative measure' recommended by President Taft in his annual mes sage, sent to copgress in December has not.been forwarded to him for his signature. If the desire of the mem bers to force an early adjournment prevails, more than half of President Taft's legislative program will go over until next session. An examination of the record, gives this result: The house in December , passed the bill to admit . Arizona and New Mex ico to statehood by unanimous vote These bills have just been ordered re ported to the senate, with some amendments, but no time has been set for their consideration; the house committee on merchant marine and fisheries, by a party vote, reported the ship subsidy bill, which has been on the calendar for several weeks with no indication when the lead ers will bring the matter before the house. The railroad bill, which also provides for a commerce court of ap peals,- was reported to the house last week after having been considered by Interstate and foreign commerce com mittee since January 20. This meas ure will provide Ja heated debate, it is believed, as the minority mem bers ef the committee, In so many words, charge that the bill, if enact ed into law : in its present form, would nullify the decision of the United. States supreme court in the Northern Securities case, thus per mining the railroads to merge. President Taft's pet measure to grant federal charters to corporations doing interstate business, his anti injunction bill, and his conservation bills are still before the house commit tee, where they have been for. threw months. The postal savings banl bill', which was introduced in the house and senate- at the opening of the session last December, have made some progress in that the sen ate has passed the measure and li is now before the house committee on postoffices and postroads. . Friends of the bill say the house committee will report it, with numerous amendments early in April, but just when it will be called up no one in authority seems to know. House insurgents say the delay in the president's- legis. lative program can be charged to the regulars, who have resisted the move ment to liberalize the rules whereby the house majority could enact legis lation. Now that the speaker has been eliimnated fiom the rules com mittee, much of the lost time will be made up in securing early action on the administration's measure now on the calendar. With but two remain ing appropriation bills sundry civil and general deficiency to be report ed to the house-, and the naval hill now having the right of way. t :ie house ought to be free of the supply bills by April 10. : This does not in clude, however, an omnibus public building bill, in which" every member of the house is iuterested. . it will readily be Been, according to these facts, that there Is enough important legislation recommended by the pres ident to keep congress in session for at least three months longer.
