Theodore Roosevelt, has captivated '. Vienna. Crowds line the streets for a glimpse of him, and gather in front of his hotel. The enthuslasmiver his visit is even keener than It was in Italy. it is "Hoeh Roosevelt" everywhere lie appears. This morning the former president after 'a whirl at his correspondence before he left the Hotel Kranz, made un early start by automobile for a visit, to Count Wilczek's castle, Kreu zenstein, one of Austria's shbw places This, ancient edifice,; which dates from the eleventh century, is magnificent ly picturesque. Cplonel Roosevelt took cbvioiis delight tit his inspection of it. ..-' He had little time to" spare there, however, the luncheon given at the Hotel Bristol by Ambassador R. C. Kerens calling him back. One of the most brilliant gatherings of dig nitaries that" has marked Mr. Roose velt's stay in Vienna was , at the luncheon. The guests Included For eign Minister Von Aehrenthal, Baron Hengelrauller von Hendervar, the Austrian ambassador at Washington now here on leave of absence; Baron ess Von Hengelmuller. Henry .White ex-Ambassador to France; American Consul General Charles Denby, offi cials of the American eiribassy, and many Austrian officials, both civic an J national. Mr. Roosevelt, took more delight at the international sporting exhibition than in any other feature of the day's entertainments. Escorted by Prince Furstenberg, president of the exhibi tion society, he went into every detail of the show, displaying keen delight in every moment. The former presi dent proved a greater attraction than the show itself, and the officials had difficulty in keeping his path clear. The most brilliant function of the entire stay came tonight in the court dinner at Jfchonbrunn Castle, on the city's outskirts. This beginning at 6 o'clock, Mr. Roosevelt had littre time for his visit to the Imperial opera. Like the court equipages, the Imperial box had been put at his dis posal. His program took him from the opera to the reception at the American embassy, where hundreds of his compatriots had crowded. This reception took the place of the rout which had been planned by the Mar grave Von Pallavlclni, who was com pelled to abandon the plan because of of death In his family. The rout was intended to have been the opportu nity for a meeting between Mr Roosevelt and the leaders of Viennese society in a manner less' formal than at the court dinner. The Margrave's palace In Josef splatz is one of the handsomest buildings In Vienna. The Hungarian government has put at the disposal of Mr. Roosevelt and Kermit a special train for the trip to Buda-Pest, ., which will be broken by a stop tomorrow at Count Appanyi's castle, "The Eberhard," near Pressbtirg. : A committee of some of the most distinguished Hun garians has been organized to plan the entertainment of Mr. Roosevelt Because of lank of time Mr. Roon- evelt today was compelled to decline an Invitation extended my Emperor Francis Joseph, through an aide, to go on a capercalllie hunt after the court banquet tonight. The emperor wished to take Miy -Roosevelt by special train to the eastern Alps to hunt these birds, which are shot just before dawn.

The general public has not ' been, informed clearly of the serious ness of the situation because there was some hope of settlement and the movement- was called a "suspension".

(By Cable to the Times) , Geneva, April 16 An' anarchist subsequently proved to be a member of the American Black Hand, was ar rested Wednesday at Chiasso, Swltz. erland, the police believing that he was planning against the life of Col onel Roosevelt. The announcement of the arrest was made today by the police, whp said that he had, when arrested,', cipher, telegrams "from America. He was on ' his way to Venfce)? where Mr. Roosevelt was ex pected. ' Th4 arrest was the result of intri cate system of safeguards whltrh has been thrown about the former pres dent on his European travels. Every country on the continent and Great Britain, as well, has been called on for the crack men of the secret po lice. With unusual co-operation a watch has- been kept on all known dangerous radicals. Through this precaution, It is said, the American anarchist was discov ered , his presence in uurope mignt have gone undetected had he not been seen in the company of men on the police list of dangerous charac ters. The result of this surveillance was a close'watch on his moves for a day or two and his arrest at the mo ment, according" to the police, when he was setting out to curry out the' plot. ' . The telegrams from America found in his possession, it has been learned, have been partially deciph ered, and tend to indicate, that the entire plot against Mr. Roosevelt was engineered from across the Atlantic, American chiefs; directing every move of their catspaw president. .

Wood, of Scotland county, and had just grad uated from Wake Forest College when he moved to Hamlet. Some of the prominent citizens of Hamlet . have held several meetings recently in the interest of the pro. posed Rockingham-Gibson Railroad. This road will come through 'the heart of town provided the town will give them a depot site and right of way through the corporation limits. It will be hard to get the people of this town interested in this road, as this Is strictly a Seaboard town and it is believed' the Coast Line is behind this movement. Mr. J.; M. Shea, superintendent of this division, will be transferred to Atlanta very soon, and Mr. Gore, of the Atlanta division will come to Hamlet. It is expected that the clerks in the superintendent's office will also be transferred.

This line of questioning was ob jected to by Mr. Vertrees and result ed in a long controversy between counsel and the committee. Mr. Brandeis finally drew from the wit ness that the documents in evidence showed that Glavis had taken such steps toward criminal prosecution Evidence to show that this had been done, Mr. Brandeis asserted, had not been submitted to the president when he was asked to pass upon the case. Mr. Finney did not know why such evidence which was contained chiefly in daily reports of Glavis and Jones was not sent to the president. He supposed it was not considered ma terial. John W. Dudley, former register and receiver of the land of fice In Juneau, Alaska, whom former Special Agent Love said had received an' intimation from Colliers that it would be worth five to ten thousand dollars to him to come to Washing ton and testify, arrived here today under summons of the committee. : MAKY MANXERIXG. jjlp"' i ; f--m T "' ' ' V I ? m'" ?v'-V - !V? i . i 5 '-'' t' I -;- js- I , m: J X K i , Mary Mannering, the puiiulai a(.

SERIOUS LOCKOUT IN GERMAN TRADE (By Cable to The Times) Berlin, April 16 -Troops were dis tributed in every city in Germany af fected by the general lockout in the building trades which went into ef fect at niidnightv Reports received here today indicate that 400,000 men throughout the country have been thrown into idleness. The social democrats have started a campaign of agitation, making the most for their propaganda of the sit uation which was brought about by the refusal by the socialist federation of trades unions to accept the wage scale offered by the master builders union. ' An attempt will be made to parade tomorrow. Bloody clashes will undoubtedly follow. , Fully 10 per cent, of the latter organization's members regard the men's demands as fair and have refused to join In the strike. More than '20,000 firms are In the movement. The 'entire , organization' of the working" classes has been drawn on fdr. support by the locked-out men. The building trades 'unions already have in cash more than $3,000,000 and will not begin, to pay benefits for two weeks. A great Sum is due in supporting contributions' dally. While negotiations for peace are under way at Munich, It was declared that the employers of Bremen, Ham burg, and Berlin, not at first included, .would be called on to join In the lock-out. Mr. E. B.
