FRANK PIERCE ON STAN IS RECEIVED BY FRANCIS JOSEPH Roosevelt Has Audience With Austrian Emperor. BRANDS STORY AS FALSE Emphatically Declares Article In Parls Herald, Stating He Had Consented to Again Be a Candidate for the Presidency, Isa Pure Fake—Anxious to Hear Both Sides of the Conserva- tion Controversy. ‘Vienna, April 16.—Theodore Roose- velt, on his arrival here from Venice, ‘was met by Herr von Muller, principal secretary of the foreign office, who was there as the representative of the Austrian government; American Am- bassador Kerens and others of the staffs of the American embassy and consulate and Baron Hengelmueller von Hengervar, Austro-Hungarian am- bassador at Washington. After an exchange of greetings Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Kerens entered a court carriage and drove direct to the Hotel Kranz. Owing to the early hour the streets were almost deserted and although the driver and footman wore the imperial livery the passing of the party attracted no attention. After breakfast with Henry White, formerly American ambassador to France, who came from Silesia espe- ofally to meet him, Mr. Roosevelt re- ceived several Americans who had awaited him at the hotel and then drove in the court carriage to the foreign office and made an official call upon Count von Aehrenthal, the Aus- trian foreign minister. Returning to his hotel, the former president re- ceived a eall from Baron Hengelmuel- ler. The baron remained for lunch- eon, Mr. Kerens and Mr. White being also in the party. In the afternoon Mr. Roosevelt again entered the court carriage and drove to the Hofburg palace, where he was received in audience by Em- peror Francis Joseph. As a speclal mark of esteem the emperor received his guests in his private apartments instead of in the usual audience cham- WOULD ' MINIMIZE Suffragist Leaders Discuss Demon- anti-suffragettes and disinterested per- sons agree that the hissing of the president of the United States at the ‘Woman Suffrage convention here will prove the hardest blow the suffrage cause has yet suffered in America. Suffrage association are doing their utmost to minimize the incident, con- fending that the demonstration greet- |ff ing the president’s limited endorse- \‘ ment of the movement was made by | outsiders. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, national president, sald: “It was not our people who hissed and hooted. The demonstration was made by persons whom I recognized as outsiders and was confined to one part of the hall.” Bpectators, however, contend that the hissing was general and that it was plainly an expression of the feel- ings of many of the suffrage dele- gates, INCIDENT. stration During Taft Speech. - ‘Washington, April 16.—Suffragettes, ANDERSON & The leaders of the National Woman BEMIDJI BLOCKER, Props.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. Action Will Be Taken Until the Twenty-five Lawyers in His Depart- ment Pass on the Records. ‘Washington, April 16.—Frank Pierce, first assistant secretary of the interfor, who began his service under Secretary Garfield and was continued in office by Secretary Ballinger, was the first witness before the Bal- linger-Pinchot committee of inquiry when its sessions were resumed. Mr. Pierce denied that he had told ex- Governor Moore, one of the Cunning- ham claimants, that he could have his patents without an examination under the new law of May 28, 1908. He said Land Commissioner Dennett had con- strued the law differently and had told Moore he could have his patents without a hearing. During the winter of 1907, Mr. Pierce said, the Cunningham claim- ants had maintained a strong lobby in Washington and had exerted pow- erful influence on Secretary Garfield and congress to secure the patents. Mr. Pierce said he stipulated with John P. Gray, one of the counsel for the Cunningham claimants, that the cases could not be heard before the Juneau register and receiver, who ordinarily would have had jurisdic- tion, because the receiver's son was one of the claimants and because he realized that the same influence would be exerted with these officers as was apparent in Washington. He thought these influences might warp their judgment. His Decision Will Be Final. The committee questioned Mr. Plerce along lines regarding - the status of the Cunningham claims and as to whether he would be, in effect, the court of last resort in deciding whether the claimants were entitled to their patents. The witness replied that neither the claimants nor the government would have an appeal from his decision. “How do you reconcile your judicial function with that of prosecutor?” inquired Senator Root. 5 “That is a question which has both- ered me a great deal,” replied Mr. Plerce. He expressed the personal opinion that the prosecution of land cases should rest with the department of justice. He explained, however, that when officials of the general land office appeared before him in the role of prosecutors he considered them as- such and did not allow the fact that they were government officers to in- fluence his decision. “I want to say right here,” ex- clalmed Mr. Pierce, “that no decision will be announced in’these Cunning- done, I shall send the record to the department of justice and ask for sim- flar careful attention at the hands of the large force gf lawyers there.” Three Overcome by Coal Gas. Kenosha, Wis,, April 16.—Three members of the household -of David Lonergan, a pioneer resident of Keno- sha, were found unconscious at the Lonergan home. They were David Lonergan, Mrs. Mary Voight, his housekeeper, and Edward Voight, her. son. They had been overcome by coal gas and their condition 18 still regard- ed as critical. = the West. EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH. ber. As Mr. Roosevelt entered . the court yard the palace guard turned out and rendered him military hon- ors. From the palace Mr. Roosevelt visited the Capuchin church, in the vaults of which rest the bones of the Hapsburgs. There he placed wreaths upon the tombs of the ill fated Em- press Elizabeth and the Crown Prince Rudolph. From the church Mr. Roose+ velt set out on a round of official calls and later returned to his hotel, where Emperor Francis Joseph re- turned the ex-president’s call. One of the first things Roosevelt did on arriving here was to again brand as a fake a statement that he had consented to be a candidate for the presidency again. The statement this time was contained in the Parig Herald, which quoted one of its Ital- {an correspondent®. The colonel positively asserted that the story was a pure fake, that neith- er he nor Gifford Pinchot had said anything that could possibly warrant such a statement. In this comnection Roosevelt sald his meeting with Pinchot was not to be interpreted as a desire to hear only one side of the conservation contro- versy. “I want to hear all sides on all questions,” the colonel said, “and 1 shall be glad to see any one who can enlighten me on political conditions. I am sorry Senator Root could not come to Europe.” The colonel made it plain that he ‘would stand for principles upon his return to America, regardless of par- tles or persons. In concluding his re- marks regarding the Paris Herald the colonel said: “As this is thethird false statement ||| in the Herald of a similar character || I might further decline to see the rep- resentatives of that paper.” Fargo, N.
