"You haven't been washing their teeth,"

PARIS, April 26. This afternoon at the
American embassy Mr. Roosevelt received
a deputation from the French parliamen
tary group for international arbitration,
headed by former Premier Leon F.our
geols and Baron d'Estournclles do Con
stant. The baron, who shared last year's Nobel
Peace prize with M. Beernart of Belgium,
expressed to the former president regret
that Parliament was not in session, as
the group had planned a great demonstra
tion In his honor. Nevertheless, he said,
the group desired to, again show its grati
tude., many times expressed, for Mr. Roose
velt's decisive Intervention In favor of con
ciliation, Justice and International peace.
He continued: "To our gratitude forvthe
past is added our confidence In the benevo
lent Influence that you will continue to ex
ercise' In tho future. This confidence Is all
the greater because your 'conception of
peace conforms with our own. Peace for
you as for us, Is not peace at any price,
but Justice.
"Our propaganda Is a continual fight foi
the right despite skeptics who are your
enemies and ours, we will not stop the good
fight so glorious for democracy against
the abuse of force, which ls the negation
of all moraljty, human dignity, liberty and
civilization."
Mr. Roosevelt thanked the deputation for
their call, saying that one of the priceless
gifts which he had received while he was
president was the "Life of Sully," the fa
mous minister and friend of Henry of
Navarre, which was presented to him by
the French interparliamentary group.
Another Peace Conference.
M. Bourgeois, after saying that Mr.
Roosevelt was responsible for the Becond
peace conference at The Hague, declared
that ha looked forward to a third confer
ence and counted on Mr. Roosevelt's in
fluence to that end. Mr. Roosevelt re
plied that his Influence could be taken for
granted, and added:
"But you must remember that I am now
a private citizen."
"I," too, am a private citizen," remarked
M. Bourgeois.
Mr. Roosevelt also received a delegation
from the Franco-American committee,
whlc,h ls devoted to the development of the
mutual Interests of the two countries.
As a souvenir of Colonel Roosevelt's visit
yesterday to tha city hall, M. Caron, presi
dent of the municipal council, today pre

signia worn by the city fathers.
Present from I'allierr.
This afternoon President Fallleres,
through Commandant Bard, the officer of
his military household, presented Mr.
Roosevelt with a magnificent tapestry, the
design of which is a copy of Gerome's fa
mous painting, "Love Mounted on a Hl
pogrlff." The tapestry was made at the
celebrated government factory at Beauvais
and Involved several years work. It ls
considered one of the handsomest pieces
turned out by the factory in a generation.
KANSAS CITY, April 2'..--There was

Dickson, a sreond cousin of Mrs. Logan O.
Swope, testified Mrs. Hydo told her last

hous was bitter last November 27. Chiis

aamo thing, she said. All were attacked by
typhoid In a few days.
Hyde and Wife Laugh,
Dr. Hyde and his wife laughed quietly
when Miss Dickson answered at least
twenty of Attorney Walsh's questions with
"I don't remember."
After hearing Miss Dickson's testimony
regarding he illness, Judge Latshaw
ordered it stricken out, as he did not re
gard It as revelant to the case.
Mrs. Swopa cried today when Mrs. Mat
Pierce, a nurse, testified that in his last
hours, probably during a delirium, th
nurse thought, Chrlsman Swope beseeched

But nothing whs said J.o Judge Latshaw
