(By Leased Wire to The Times. ) Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 25 "This is the nerviest breakfast: party I ever saw." ..;.'...-"'" Thus spoke Colonel Theodore Roosevelt,' strenuous exponent of the strenuous life, author, editor; hunter, private citizen and a former president of the. United. States as he stepped frim his private car, the Republic at 6:20 o'clock this morning on his ar rival from Utlca. A lot of "handshaking followed for a moment and then Colonel Roosevelt was escorted to a waiting automobile and whisked to the Elllcott Club, where as the guest of that organiza tion, he, with about 360 other Invit ed guests, partook of a light break fast and later made a brief address, The reception committee of the Elllcott Club assembled in front of Elllcott Square at 6 o'clock this morning and shortly afterward ten automobiles were driven to the New York Central station to await the ar rival of the city's distinguished guest. The train arrived exactly on time. Despite the early hour there was a fair-sized crowd at the station, but no time was lost. Breakfast-was served immediately after the party arrived at the club. During the course of the t meal several of the guests took the privi lege of bothering Colonel Roosevelt at his breakfast by slipping behind his chair and engaging him in con versation. Among those who Inter rupted him were Postmaster Fred Griener, the republican leader of Erie county. The conversation was quite extended but afterward Colonel Roosevelt declined to state what they talked about. Asked If the local or state political situation was a part of their, talk, he passed the question off with the remark that It was too early in the morning tof talk politics. Breakfast finished about 7 o'clock and Vice President Crouch arose and introduced Colonel Roosevet In a few words. ' .. .' .-- Mr. Roosevelt sard: "I have but a few minutes and I'm going to plunge right Into a subject of utmost Interest to the citizens of Buffalo , the state of New York and the entire nation. That is thekeeping of the fresh water supply of the Great Lakes unpolluted. ' "We claim to be a civilized people and we ought to be able to dispose of sewage except through our drinking water.-' .,'-';.'. C "Action by the state so far as its own boundaries are concerned and action by the nation because of other states interested should be taken to keep the waters of .the Grea Lakes as pure as possible. Uncle Sam has got to act and he must have the co operation of the citizens of the states. "I believe in pure government, and In so believing I recognize no party dictlnctlon. If I make any party dis tinction' It is a little more my busi ness to hunt out a crook that belongs to my party than if he belonged to another. Friends, we must keep our eyes fixed. Distrust above all other men the man who will inveigh the dishonesty of another." Colonel Roosevelt talked for about fifteen minutes and then entered his automobile and was driven to the at 7:30, sharp.

TIRES UNDER CONTROL Rain and Snow Aid tbe Fire Fighters More' Cheerful ,' Reports Received From the vivc Districts Today All Except California Fires Xu Thought to be Under Control. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Spokrme, Wash., Aug. 2o Rain and snow are checking the northwest forest fires. Following the scattered rainfall of yesterday, today brought more cheerful reports. It. Is believed that the worst is pastand yet before the fires nowi raging burn themselves out the property loss may be fully $50,000,000. Although the loss of life among the forest rangers will not be as great as Was at 'flrst supposed, fresh re ports received today indicate that the total death list will be above 200 at the least. - Though the situation in Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon is Improving, according to today's ad vices, tho situation in California is Lworse and it is feared that the fires in the Sierras will do immense dam age. At Helena and at 'Butte', Mont., companies of the militia were to day held under arms in readiness to- be sent into the field against the fires at the order of Governor Norrls. The Thompson Falls fire and that along the Clarks Fork valley today were the most serious, the worst of the others,- the report said, having beon isolated. The chief danger at the present time in the opinion of the forest sorv ice officers, is the springing up of a high wind. The saving of the Gallatin reserve is attributed to the two-inch rain snowfall. This checked the progress of a wall of fire' several miles long which was sweeping toward the Yel lowstone Park, A downpour in the Flathead country materially im proved the aspect of the fight there. i ne rains nave come at tne crucial moment. Worn out with days, and in some cases weeks, of incessant fighting, the hundreds of men who have been back-firing and using all other resources in the futile attempt to stay the fires, are exhausted. It is feared that many of the men in hos pitals will be unable to recover com pletely from the terrible . strain : of their battle. The railroads which have suffered through the destruction of bridges, trestles, ties and telegraph lines, have renewed .their attempts to restore their lines to a normal condition. Hundreds of track workers today are working to rebuild structures that are still smoking. It will take weeks, however, to permanently re pair all damage. The railroads loss es are estimated in the hundreds of thousands, of dollars. BLOW TO STATE IN BRIBERY CASE (By Leased Wirb to The Times.) Chicago, . Aug. 25 Judge Kerston delivered a blow to the state today at the close of the prosecution's case in the trial of fcee O'N'oil Browne for bribery when he refused to permit Rep resentative Link to testify In the Jack pot matter and thus refused the value of all the testimony given in that con nection. T'-.-':. The ruling came as a surprise to States Attorney Wayman and was only given after a private conversation be tween court and counsel lasting twenty minutes. .The attitude of Representa tive Link on the stand was truculent and he appeared anxious to impress the court and Jury with the'. Idea .that he had accepted ope thousand dollars from Browne after hjs vote had been Cast for Lorlmer without believing that In so doing he was committing any of fense. .':. . ..- ': ' Link is the last witness for the state and the case was adjourned at 11. a. m. until 2 p. m. because of the neces sity discussing in chambers; the en tire range of Link's testimony In, view of the court ruling out of the Jackpot matter.
