President Hoooevelt Speaks.
Wheu he concluded the governor Intro
duced President Roosevelt, who delivered
the principal address of the day. The presi.
dent spoke as fellows;
It Is a very real pleasure for me to at
tend these ceremonies at the capital of
your great state. In every great crisis
uf our government the attitude of Penn
sylvania has been of crucial Imporlanue,
aa the aftectlouate nickname of "Keystone
tstate" signifies. Pennsylvania has always
looked warily before It leaped, and It waa
well that It, should do so. But having
finally made up tta mind. In each great
crisis of our uatlonul history, its weignt
has been cast unhesitatingly upon me
right 'Bide, and has been found irreslst
ibie. i'ms was true alike at tbe time of
the Italia ration ol Independence, at the
time of the adoption ot the ootislituUuu
; mid during the lerrllile yeare when the
iaHue was tbe preservation of the I'nlon.
Pennsylvania's soil is historic It wua
within iVnnsylvaiua's borders that I lie
contest opened which waa to decide
whether the valiant soldiers of France
would be able tu tuir thla continent agalnfcl
the domination of the people of tne tntf-.
Uah-epexking colonies.- It was on Penn
sylvania's soil that the le.iuratlon of in
dteitdence was signed and Urn constitu
tional convention held. It waa In Penn
sylvania that Washington wintered at Val
ley Forge, and by keepInK hla army to
gether during that winter definitely turned
the scalee in our favor lu the contest for
Independence. It was sgaln on Pennsyl
vania's soil, at Gettysburg, that the tide
turned In the civil war. In the composi
tion of br people, moreover, lennayl
vanla baa epitomised the composition of
our union: for here many old world races
have mingled their blood to make that new

HAVANA. Oct. 4 Now that the disarma
ment of the revolutionists and the govern
ment volunteers Is progressing steadily,
tho thoughtful portions of the public of ail
nationalities are animatedly discussing the
possibilities of Cuba's future form of gov
ernment. The desire for annexation, which
bns been carefully concealed for the last
four years, is now voiced openly, end the
wish thnt the 1'nited Ptntes retain some
measure of actual control In Culn affairs
is heard more Insistently than ever.
Representative ot leading elements, both
Cuban and foreign, have been asked to
attend a meeting nest Sunday to discuss
the feasibility of holding some sort of
plebiscite by which alt classes of the popu
lation would be enabled to express thi-lr
Ideas on what the future form of govern
ment should be. One plan siicgestfd Js the
formation Into groups of the various for
eign elements, each of which will formu
late Its own project of government.
The Idea of holding the next elections in
January has been entirely abandoned, the
general preference among Cubans appear-'
lug to favor the holding of elections In
June. The question of the status of con
gress and whether senators and represents,
tlves are to receive their salaries after the
establishment of the provisional govern
ment will be decided In Washington.
Insurgrents Are l.aylna; Down Arms.
Reports of the disarmament operations
show considerable delay and confusion, but
no real opposition. On the wholo the work
Is proceeding smoothly find the only com
plication encountered was met and dis
posed of today by Brigadier General Frede
rick Funston, assisted by General Agr-t-monte
of the disarmament commission. It
appears that General Albert's agreement
to disarm and disband was conditional on
the surrender and disarmament also of all
the policemen In the town of Guinea. Gen
erals Funston and Agratmonte went In on
automobile to Gutnes to straighten out the
matter.
Upon their arrival the mayor of Guinea,
Senor Ayala, absolutely refused to dis
charge the police. General Funston de
clared that unless the mayor agreed to j
the conditions an armed force would be
sent to disarm Asbert's army, which nutn- i
bers 1,1(10 men, and that this would pos
sibly result In bloodshed. Argument had
no effect on the mayor until he was told
that he could retain the police payroll and
reinstate his men after quiet had been re
stored. Marines Will Police tinlnes.
General . Funston further suggested the
sending of marines to police the town tem
porarily and this plan was accepted. Gen
erals Funston and Agramonte then visited
General Asbert at the village off Cpttaro
and found him agreeable to this compro
mise. Accordingly twenty-five marines will
be sent to Guinea tomorrow to police the
town and to receive, under the supervision
of General Agramonte, the arms of As
bert's force,
General Asbert. like other rebel com
manders. Is particularly anxious that every
man of hla command lay down his arms.
The reason Is that these commanders aspire
to and expect to be prominent factors la
political control after the next election, and
they do not desire the presence of large
bodies of men who might rise against
them should they be permitted to retain
their arms. Asbert's men will begin to
move In toward Guinea tomorrow and the
actual surrender of arms probably will take
place on Saturday.

While on their way from Havana to
Guinea Generals Funston and 'Agramonte
were halted by Insurgent sentinels, who
threatened to fire upon them In the belief
that they belonged to tho rural guards. The
sentinel's were profuse In their apologies
when they learned who waa In the automo
bile. The news- that General Funston was
passing through spread throughout the sec
tlon, and on the return trip to Havana
women along the route pelted Funston's
automobile with flowers.

MURDERER MAY BE IN TOILS
Parker People Believe He la "aiae a
Man Arrested at Howard
for Aasaolt.
SIOUX FAL1& 8. P. Oil. 4 (Special
Teles: rami It is confidently believed that
the mystery surrounding the Identity of the
person or persons who caused the death
of Mrs. Harry M. Lollms. wife of a promi
nent farmer resl'Iing near Parker, by ad
ministering chloroform Tor the purpose of
robbery, will be unraveled as the result
of the arrest at Howard today r a man
who ll Is thought waa Implicated In the
crime.
The prisoner la a stranger and was ar
rested at Howard on the charge of assault
Ing a fourteen-year-old girl residing at
that place. When residents of Marlon
heard Monday morning of the death of
Mrs. Collltia some of them formed a posse
and took up the trail of a stranger, who
passed through Marion at 4 o'clock Mon
day morning, under the belief that he
was Implicated In the crime. They traced
the fugitive to the Adam farm west of the
little town of Monroe, where he got dinner
Monday. From there they traced him
through a com field to the E. B. Watter'
farm northwest ot Canlstota. where he
stayed Monday night. Later the members
of the posse found where the man had
slept In a corn tjeld Tuesday night and
finally traced him , to the farm of Gottlieb
Telsch near Canbva, where he stayed
Wednesday night! and until 10 o'clock
Thursday morning.
Here all trace of him wns lost until
the arrest of a man at Howard for assault.
The members of the Marlon posse express
themselves aa being positive that the man
under arrest at Howard Is the man whom
they trailed for three days. The prisoner
is about five feet eight Inches In height,
weighs 108 pounds Is 36 or 40 years old and
wore a white hat with Initials cut Into It.
It now develops that the Turner connty
authorities discovered In close proximity
to the window through which the robbers
entered the Collins house the clear tracks
of three horses. This indicates that the
robbers went to the Collins place on horse
back and that at least some of them made
their escape on these horses, some of
which may have afterwards been aban
doned. The report of the state chemist of the
Brookings Agricultural college, to whom
the stomach and other vital organs of
Mrs. Collins were sent for the purpose of
ascertaining whether or not other drugs
In addition to chloroform had been ad
ministered to her, If completed has not
yet been made public. It Is probable the
nature of the report will be withheld from
the public for the present at least.
EVILS OF INSURANCE REBATES
Convention of State Coatntlesloaers
DUrnaa Sean a for Abolishing
the Practice.
WASHINGTON, pet. 4. The National
Association of Insurance Commissioners to
day adopted a resolution against the so
called rebate evil, front which It was stated
the public bad suffered even at the hands
of some of the biggest companies. It was
explained that many Insurance companies
run regular gnt-rlch-qulck schemes under
the guise of offer1i,'-SuW'moti dividends
tnat are wnouy impossible of realisation,
it waa shown ' that frequently some
wealthy and Influential man In a com
munlty Is offered a secret or special con
tract, reducing the cost of the Insurance
to him" on the promise that he will work
for the ends of the company In -his local
Ity. It Was represented that many people
who take the chance of getting large div
idends are Induced to Insure beyond their
capacity to pay, but that these dividends
which. It was stated, are really secret re
bates, go to the richer members of the
community, who, It was alleged, do not
need them.
The following officers were elected: Pres

WASHINGTON. Oct. 4. Secretory Root
made public today the correspondence
leading up to the Intervention in Cuba.
The correspondence took place between
Consul General Btelnhart at Havana and
Acting Secretary Bacon, of the State de.
partment. An Important feature developed
in the dispatch was that intervention waa
asked by the Cuban government as early
as September 8. and that as long ago as
September 14, President Palma had de
termined to resign aa president of tbe
republic and the vice president and cabi
net ministers had also determined to no
longer continue In office. It la slso showu
that Intervention by the United States
has long been planned by the Palma gov
erament and was communicated to the
State department In a letter by Consul
Steinhart as early as September . The
correspondence follows:
HAVANA, Sept. x, 1906. Secretary of
State- (absolutely confidential). The sec
retary or state of Cuba has requested me
In the nameeVif President Palma to ask
President Roosevelt to send Immediately
two vessels, one to Havana, other to den

and property. President Palma will con

Prealdeat Healtatrs to Act.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHING
TON, Sept. 10. Steinhart. Havana; Your
cable received. Two ships trnva oeen sent,
due to arrive Wednesday. The president
directs me to state thai perhaps you do
not yourself appreciate the reluctance
with which this country would intervene.
President Palma should bu informed that
In the public opinion here It would have
a most damaging effect tor intervention to
be undertaken until the Cuban govern
ment has exhausted every effort In a seri
ous attempt to put down the insurrec
tion and has made this tact evident to tne
world. At present tbe Impression cer
tainly would be that there waa no real
popular support of the Cuban government
or else that the government was hope
lessly weak. As conditions are at this
moment, we are not prepared to say what
shape the intervention should take. It is,
of course, a very serious thing to under
take forcible intervention and before going

ject :
"The rebellion has Increased In, the
provinces of Santa Clara, Havana and
Pinar del lap. and the Cuban government
has no elements to contend with, to de
fend the towns and prevent the rebels
from destroying property. President F.s
trada Palma aaks for American interven

send to Havana with the greatest secrecy
and rapidity two or three thousand men
to avoid catastrophe in the capital. Tho
Intervention asked for ahould not be made
public until the Amerlcsn troops sre In

The special was drawing four troopa of
tho Fourteenth United States cavalry from
Fort Ethan Allen to Newport News, where
they are to embark for Cuba. The
soldiers quickly got to work to rescue the
Injured.
Many of the passengers on the regular
had left the train when It came to a stand
still and were pacing tip and down the
track when the crash came. One man's
grief was pitiable. HI name was J. W.
Dacey and he ran up and down tho track
crying for his wife. In a few minutes
her lifeless form was Identified. They had
been married last night at Arlington,
Mass., and were on their honeymoon,
having planned an extended trip.

Magnificent beyohd measure has the
season of Ak-Sar-Ben been and as a grand
culmination of the splendid functions
comes the grand coronation ball at the
Coliseum tonight. This, event, when for
the first time, the Identity of the king
and queen Is made known, la one of Iti
tensest Interest throughout the roaita and
the ceremonies always are regal In their
grandeur and Impress! veness. The sur
passing splendor of all preceding events
this year Inspires the belief that the
coronation will he correspondingly su
perior. Willie this is tne climax or tne
festivities t lie carnival grounds always
see the finale of the gay period which
comes Saturday nrght with thousands f
people engaging In a demonstration of
at least greater volume than any other
of the season.
Brilliant by day and dialling by night,
the Imperial city of Cibola, glowing with
the pomp and splendor of regal pageantry,
became redolent of the sweet, somber touch
of nature Thursday, when, through the em
blazoned thoroughfares swept gracefully
Ak-Sar-Ben's second flower parade.
You didn't detect the fragranceT Artifi
cial flowers? Oh, fie on you, commercial'
monster.
If 6,000 American Beauty roses don't give
fragrance, then truly, there was no redo
lence from this parade. But 1.000 American
Beauty roaea. as genuine as ever nsture
made, a ad thsy packed on Just one automo
bile, to say nothing of. other banks of flow
ers, breathe off 'enough sweet Incense, tu
satiate the soul of the most Inveterate
nymph from Fairyland,
Well, they looked so genuine that you
thought the fragrance was there.
Of such was King Ak-Sar-Ben's second
flower psrade, which marched through
Omaha Thursday , afternoon. - Crowds,
ctowds, crowds! They lined the streets as
they did for the Industrial parade Tuesday
afternoon and the electrical pageant on
Wednesday night and cheered because they
were delighted. How could they help be
ing? Typlraf Colore te the Freat.
Led by the Royal Hawaiian band that la
doing such yeoman service for King Ak-Bar-Ben,
the three autos-red, yellow and
green the typkal colors, conveying the
members of the board of governors, a 10 tig,
graceful, beautiful line ot flower-decked au
tomobiles, like one variegated serpentine,
threaded Its way through the city, starting
at Twenty-fifth and Far nam streets at 2:30. '
The Initial autoa belonged to O. W. : Wat
tles, F.mll Brandels and Gould Diets.
To impress the Judges, with superior ar
tistic taste Mrs. John Lars en made of her
machine a beautiful creation of pink and
black popples. These were alternated In
squares, the effect being equally striking
and pleaaing. The occupants were Mr. and
Mrs. I .at sen, Miss Margaret Mahony, Mrs.
Anderson of Kansas City and Miss Esther
Larseri. All were drtstvd In black and car
ried pink parasols.
The electric runabout of W. O. Meg -a lb
waa Cive ed with a banket p Ira Hies.
Every portj'jn. of the machine was h-U'l,n
by thrive beautiful fjowei. and the effect
was most artistic. Mi. May Megeath and
Edward Megeath were the occupants. Miss
Megeath was dressed In white and wore a
hat decorated with palm lilies. Edward
Megeath was dressed In white.
Pretty Picture.
A most delightful picture waa that ar
ranged by Mrs. Leonore Nelson, wl o had
deftly covered her machine with pink and
w hite rosea, broken by a sprinkle of aspar

machine, while tbe hark of the seat wss
