At the latter's specific re- quest, the former president hurried to Marlborough House without de lay on his arrival from Berlin. King George, though under a great strain of business, dropped all his tasks to welcome Mr. Roosevelt Englands new ruler was unusually warm in his manner. Mr. Roosevelt spent some time with the king. The death of Edward, sending all Mr. Roosevelt's plans, askew, still csuld not rob his arrival of all de monstration. Besides the official narijK! there; was' it .":.' gathering of Americans, tourists and members of the colony here, at the Victoria sta tion wuen'his special train drew In from Queensborough. The Roosevelt party occupied the royal saloon on the train. On behalf of the king, Mr. Roose velt was welcomed to England by the Earl of Dundonald, who, witii Commander Charles E. F.

IiOndon, May 16 England is again alarmed over the condition of the queen mother, Alexandra. Official protesta tions of her good health are offset by persistent reports that she Is weaken ing under the strain of formalities fol lowing the shock of King Edward's death and it Is feared . that she will be unable to go through the ceremonies of the next few days, ending Friday with the Interment at Windsor. Queen Alexandra Is closely watched by her physicians. Medicine, however, cannot overcome her grief. She Is the most persistent visitor to the throne room at ' Buckingham, where lies the body of Edward, and again and again every day she has silently slipped in there from her- apartments and knelt to pray at the improvised altar or by the side of the coffin. .:::', . :t- Earthquake In Colombia. . ?

HIE KRBY LETTER President Substantiates State Denied Saturday That There Was v- Any i Truth in the Statement, Bat letter Admitted Its Truthfulness, Klrby Still on Leave of Absence, But Will Return to Work Tomor. row. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, May 16 -Frederick M. Kerby, the stenographer in the office of the Interior department to. whom Assistant-attorney General Lawler dictated the draft of the let ter which he intended President Taft should send to Secretary Bal linger vindicating him of the Glavis charges, will probably be .-called as a witness before the Ballinger-Plnchbt investi gating committee. If the committee does not of its own volition summon him, it is said Attorney Brandeis will do so, although under the procedure which the committee is following Mr. Kerby will not. take the stand until aftor all of Secretary Balllnger's wit nesses have been heard, ns his de fense now has the right-of-way. It is pointed out today that the letter which the president last night sent to Senator Nelson, chairman of the committee,, setting forth the cir cumstances under which the letter of September 13, vindicating Ballinger, was written, is a complete substantia tion of the statement made by Kerby, notwithstanding the fact that on Sat urday afternoon, Immediately follow ing the publication of the Ke?V affc davit It was said officially at " the whitehouse that "there is no founda tion for the story". Young Kerby is still on leave of absence from his office, although he Is to report for duty tomorrow un less some action is taken in his case today.' It is said that he may not be dismissed, but is likely to be trans ferred to another, department, ' as the friends of Secretary Ballinger do not wlBh him to appear as a martyr. An effort may be made to', cause the young man trouble on the charge that he took from his office his steno grapher's note book, which is held to be an official document and had the notes of his dictation from Lawler photographed. Kerby will make no statement ns to whether or not lie did this. It is said that former Secretary Garfield was instrumental in "induc ing Kerby to make a complete state ment concerning the writing of the Lawler letter because of the fact that the attorney-general's office has per sistently failed to produce It up to tli.j time Kerby's statement became pub lic. In any event the Kerby incident has injected t renewed life into the Ballinger-Plnchot : case, and some lively times ahead are prophecied. SAVINGS BANK BIUL. Muy Be Introdced in the House To. morrow.
