To former Secretary of the Treas ury the colonel said: "Oh, George, this is just fine of you to come out here and meet me." A young student of the University of California stepped up to the ex hunter, who greeted him, saying: "You ought to be here to welcome me. I have given an elephant to your university and all I can say is it is not white." Congressman William S. Bennet, of Brooklyn, as he stepped up to grasp the hands of Colonel Roosevelt, was drawn close while the hunter said: "I got something to say to you, but I can't say it before these news paper men."

Through you I thank your committee and through them I wish to thank the American people for their greeting. I need hardly say I am most deeply moved by the recep tion given me. No man could re ceive such a greeting without being made to feel both very 1 porud and very humble. "I have been away a year and a quarter from America and I have' seen strange and interesting things alike in the heart of the frowning wilderness and in the capitals .of the mightiest and most highly 'polished of civilized nations. I have through ly enjoyed myself and now I am more glad than I can say to get home, to be back in my own country, back among people I love. And I am ready and eager to do my part so far as I- am able , in helping solve problems which must be solved if we, of this, the greatest democratic re public upon' which the sun has ever shone, are to see its destinies rise to the high level of our hopes and its opportunities.

UNCLE JOE" CANNON Scores Newspapers, Maga zines and Other Critics COMPLIMENTS CHAMP. CLARK The Venerable Speaker of the House in a Virile Speech Defends the Old Rules Fifty Thousand Bills Intro duced at Every Session, and Some of Them the Authors Do Not Want Passed Speaker Will Always he Criticised. Washington, D. C, Special. The old rules of the House were defended and tho critics of the Speaker were severely scored by Speaker Cannon in a brief address in the House Satur day. Mr. Cannon contended that the operation of the rules', as adopted by the 51st Congress and as enforc ed by him, had never intefered with the will of the majority of the House when an actual majority had been obtained on any proposition. He scored newspaper and magazine writ ers who had criticized him, and said they had proceeded from a" lack of knowledge and upon false premises. The venerable Speaker was greeted by cheers from his Republican col leagues when he had concluded. . Representative Cooper, of Wiscon sin, one of the leading " insurgents," attempted to reply, but there was objection. Nearly every member of the House was in his place and every teye - was centered upon Mr. Cannon as he be gan to speak. ; , Mr. Cannon declared that whoever should be speaker of the House, whether for two or eight years, could not escape criticism. He spoke of the 50,000) bills introduced In each congress, all with their advocates de manding consideration. "Many members introduce bills that they do not want, passed," said Mr. Cannon, explaining the troubles that face a Speaker. He -d-eclaf ed ' that, undc r the rules as they had been adopted in the 51st Congress, it had at any time been possible for a majority in the House to legislate. Referring directly to minority lead er Champ Clark, the speaker suggest ed that the gentleman from Missouri would make the best speaker the mi nority could obtain. This remark was a signal for an ovation by the Democrats in honor of their leader. Continuing, Mr. Cannon said, that not half as many bills were passed under the new "unanimous consent" rule as formerly and he ..ridiculed the suggestions about his role as a "czar." Whatever the clamor. might be he declared that he preferred to maintain his fidelity to the majority of the House.

Mr. Tawney then moved to appro priate $200,000 in addition to the $100,000 aoporpriated some months ago. Mr. Fitzgerald moved to make it $400,000, but the House refused to sustain him.
