(By Cable to The Times? London, May 31 With conven tlonal pomp that turned tne anair Into a pageant, Theodore Roosevelt was today presented with the freedom of the city of London, and his visit to England formally began. Twelve hundred of the foremost persons of 'London witnessed the cer emonies at the Guild Hall, the guests Invited Including the Dune or Con- naught, Prince Arthur of uonnaught, Ambassador Whitelaw Held, and many well-known Americans, both - tourists and members of the colony here. Cull, drizzling weather prevailed, but did not dampen the curiosity of I nnrlnn . Alnnf ttiA BtrnAtA nf the ex- tii.oci1f1aTit'a rnnia. ab wnll fta zn other parts of the city, American flags were displayed in great numbers, and . hundreds of Teddy bears were swung from .poles. Vast crowds struggled to get a sight of the former president, and so great was the crush that the police were compelled to bar the streets about the Guild Hall a precaution seldom taken save when royalty is the attention. Though the death of King Edward caused the abandonment of some Of the features that had Been planned before Mr. Roosevelt actually arrived in England, the affair today was by no means a disappointment . to the lovers of the spectacular. ; Governed by the precedent ot centuries the municipal authorities added the name of Theodore Roos evelt to the roll of honorary freemen of (he city a roster whica includes the names of Rodney, Nelson, Well ington, Livingstone, Gladstone, Garl' bald I, De Lesseps, and U. S. Grant. At five minutes before noon Mr Roosevelt left Dorchester House, the residence of Ambassador Reid. At his disposal was the gilded state coach of Lord Mayor Knlll a heavy Vehicle, manned by flunkies and out riders, gorgeous with gilt carving. nuioit? Jlllll, me cowi v ui nuuui, rodo Sheriffs Noel and Ralph Slanzen ger in their state coacnes, only a trifle less gorgeous than the equip age of the guest of the cay. Before and behind clattered a squadron of mounted police. All along the route crowds were gath ered and as Mr. Roosevelt whirled hy he was greeted with cheers. " "Teddy," London calls him, taking the cue from Paris, which refused to hail Wm by his family name. The route lay through one or the most picturesque portions of London by way of Park Lane, Constitution Hill, Birdcage Walk and tne embank ment to the Guild Hall on King street. About the hall there was drawn up a force of 1,600 police, guarding the ropes stretched across the streets leading to the building, Beyond were massed thousands of Londoners, with a good sprinkling of Americans. As the carriage that bore the ex 'president rolled up, a cheer that last ed several minutes broke out. Scarcely less Important 'than the conferring of the freedom of the city was the lord mayor's luncheon at the Mansion House. Before the death of the late king It had been determined to make this a magnificent feast, but after Edward's demise the majority of the 850 Invi tations that had been Issued' were re called, the plans being changed to make the luncheon private instead of a state affair. This determination was a dl-sap-k (Continued On Page Seven.) , Number of Paid Subscribers in ; the City SENATOR OWEN SPEAKS Oklahoma' Senator Speaks Against Monopoly His Subject Popular Government and the Flection of Senators hy Direct Vote Great Kvil From Which the American People Have Suffered Within Recent Years. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, May 31 Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, spoke this af ternoon in the senate on popular gov ernment and the election of senators by direct vote of the people. He said in part: "The great evil from which the American people have suffered in re cent years has been the secret, but well known alliance between com ftlercial iiueresisand machine politics, by which commercial Interests have endeavored and often succeeded in obtaining legislation giving them spe cial advantages In nation, state,1 and in municipalities over the body of the American people 'and obtained administrative and Judicial Immunity so that the laws have not been prop erly enforced against them; by which means they have enriched themselves at the expense of the American peo ple; at the expense of democrats and republicans alike; by which private individuals have become enormously rich and many millions of people in tellectually, physically, financially or morally weak have been reduced to poverty and to a condition of rel ative financial, Industrial and moral degradation. "I shall not offend the columns of the Congressional Record with the multitude of Instances u c. rruption in municipal, state, or federal gov ernment. Of recent years their name is legion, and they are all due to the weaknesses of human nature and the defective mechanism of par ty government under which machine politics with corrupt methods have naturally grown up. "A distinguished 'statesman once said that the idea of purity in poli tics was an irridescent dream. "The people retired him, and there after he described himselt as 'a statesman out of a job.' "The gigantic monopolies have rapidly grown until their stocks and bonds comprise a third of the na tional wealth. They aggregate over thirty thousand millions of dollars. Moody's Manual for 1907 gives over 1,000 companies absorbed or merged by or into other companies for 1907, und these conditions grow worse each year. Organized monopoly controls the meat marked; controls the selling price of beef, mutton, pork, fowls and every variety of meat. "They control everything needed by man, from the cradle which re ceives the baby, and the toys with which a child plays, to the casket and the cerements of the grave. 'They have raised prices 50 per cent higher than the markets 'of tue world and their apologists, the polit ical allies of commercial monopoly and their intellectual mercenaries, fill the, public press with solemn ar gument about the quantitative theory of money and the increase of gold as explaining, and justifying high prices. "The whole world Is staggering un der the high prltes ot monopoly, and the people of the United States are afflicted with prices 50 percent high er than those paid by the balance or mankind. The people ask for bread and they get a stone. They ask for lower prices a'nd the causes of high rices when ascertained by this un necessary and absurd research will unquestionably be used as a special plea and as -an apology and pretext for denying the resasonable demand of the American people for the re straint of monopoly and the lowering of prices."
