--Klnn Kdwnrds pacifying influence In
Euiopean politics makes his death a source
Of deep irgiet to advocates of universal
peace. This appear In a ststement given
by Andiew II. Humphrey. general secretary
of the American Peace nnd Arbitration
league, of which former Senator James B.
Mrf'renry Is president, former President
Roosevelt, honorary president, and which
number among Its member Admiral
Dewey and ninny of the best known mrn
In the country.
Andrew H. Humphrey, general secretary,
gays:
V "That the dealh of King Edward should
f cause the. world-wide sorrow tiiat Is ap
parent cannot be surprising when It Is
remembered lion well he earned the title
cf f" Kdward. the Peacemaker." which has
ben conferred upon him by universal
agreement. Ills death Is a great loss to
tho movement fort universal peace. No
ether ruler in Kurope believed In It more
sincerely. III? lifelong training tihder Kng--land's
great Queen Victoria especially
fitted him to be a peacemaker. His Inter
est In tha movement has been so manifest
and his success and Influence and the
amicable setilement. of Incidents of a
threatening; nature will ihihc him to be
missed In the pence councils of the near
future.
Wetback for the Program.
"King Hdward'a death, coming at this
particular time. Is In a sense a setback for
the program of the American Peace and
Arbitration league.
"Mr. Roosevelt, who is one of the honor
ary vice presidents of this league, might
hava been expected to Invite some exchange
of views relating to the proposition to In
1 rest th (prlo court at The Hague for
the present with tho powers to be vested
In th International cnurt of arbitralon
p which It Is expecrd will lie created at tha
x , third International peace, conferenca In 1315.
"Of course It I Impossible to say Just
how far man In'the Ring's position could
tr would commit . himself on any such
question an this, but i think It Is tolerably
well known that It Is oh Of the propo.l-
tlona In tha direction of International peace
X that Interested King Kit ward deeply,
7 "What will be the attitude of Kngland s
new ruler concerning the peace question Is
problematical. He has seen active service
along the stern lines of a naal officer's
career, but he has not been In that close
and sympathetic touch with various classes
of men which made King Edward a broad
minded, far seeing and diplomatic man.
He la a mail of reserve, lacking elements
that made his father popular, and It Is pos
sible that In his Intercourse wjth other
sovereigns he may not tie able at all times
A to Inspire Unit cordiality that enabled King
( Kdward to pour oil on the troubled waters.
Nevertheless I dont' think the change of
rulers will affect the peace .movement ad
versely. "King George V derived from his Illus
trious grandparents, Victoria and Albert,
and from his una father, a rich Inheritance
of qualities that make much for the up
lift of humanity and tha richest among
them la an Innate lovu and desire for
peace." ' '
lewa Kxprriaril b) Choatr,
"With sorrow I feel at tjie death of a
nioiiaoeVi who ruled his own dominions
well ft,'1 exerted a powerful Influence . for
food throughout, there cornea to me a sense
of personal loss In the passing away of
King Kdward," ald Hon, Joseph H.
Choate, formrr American ambassador to
England. -"tif
a'maii he was ev en more Interesting
V th.it' na a monarch and that Is saying n
" rat deal, for no king ever was more
sincerely loved by his own subjects or
more admired by the people of other na
tions. As a man he was Intensely human,
and when he put off his royalty, as he
delighted to do when opportunity off t red,
and met people In an atmosphere mote
free than that of the court, he Mas one of
the most charming of men, though never

CIMCAOO. May ?.t Special Telegram.)
Representative Michael S. I.lnk of Mitchell
became panlcstrlrken and joined the con
fession stampede In I he big legislative bttb
ei y scandal today. Link went before the
special grand Jury, made a clean breast of
his alleged share In the transactions and
was .purged of the necessity of perjury.
Link's confession was the big sensation In
the startling revelations of graft at Spring
field following the voting of an Indlrtment
against Browne of Ottawa on a bribery
charge and Robert K. Wilson of Chicago
and I.lnk on perjury accusations, l.tnk is
the third to confess and attaches of State's
Attorney Wayman's office arej looking for
a continuance of the stampede. They are
hammering hard on other legislators In
volved in the original confession of Rep
resentative Charles A. White. Browne and
Wilson gave bonds today for their appear
ance at trial.
"Senator J.orinier will have to give up
his seat In the United States senate." w.ie
a remark dropped In various quarters to
day, as the net of evidence the prosecutor
has woven became public. Friends of the
senator Insisted that he would hold onto his
seat In the senate to nwalt the outcome of
the trials. The opinion prevails that speedy
action will In taken and t lint the men ac
cused will be cslled Into court to defend
themselves within thirty daya.
I.orlmrr Will ot Itesian.
Asked If he contemplated resigning his
seat. Senator Tvorimer said: "I have no
such Intention."
Just what Link has revealed In his con
fession Is speculation. State's Attorney
Way man would make no other comment
than that I.lnk had purged himself of per
jury,
One report was that Link had more valu-1
able Information than did Representative
Beckmeyer, who was the second to confess
to alleged graft In the' legislature. Link
was closely guarded by detectives and re
ffised to talk when asked If he had cor
roborated In detail the confession of White.
Representative Mnk -Is believed to have
corroborated the "Jackpot" deal alleged to
have been pulled off In St. Loulr. IleWas
indicted because he denied that he was In
St. Louis at the time White alleged he re
ceived Hm from tho alleged "Jackpot". The
supposition Is that lie has admitted that
Ik received money at the gathering In thetoday refused the request of Prosecutor
Southern hotel In St. Louis, and to this
extent substantiated White's story.
The probe Into the big scandal will 'be
continued In Chicago next week and will be
on In Springfield, where Stata's Attorney
Kilmund Burke has subpoenaed something
like twenty witnesses.
It was reported today that a petition is
to be sent from prominent men In Chicago
to Senator Cullom In Washington, asking
him to place the scandal before the I'nlted
Slates senate and demand a rigid Investi
gation. i i

TRKNTON. N. .1.. May 7. Gavernor Fort
Garvcn of Hudson county for a requisition
on the governor of Illinois for the extradi
tion of J. Ogden Armour, a director of the
National Packing company, who Is under
indictment In Hudson county with other
officers and directors of packing companies
on a charge of conspiracy to unlawfully
enhance the cost of meat through the crea
tion of an artificial scarcity of the same
Governor Fort in refusing to grant the
requisition gave out a lengthy opinion In
which he sets forth the reasons for his re
fusal. The governor points out first of all
that In order for extradition papers .to be
asked for It was necessary that the per
sons whose extradition was desired he . a
fugitive from 'Justice and further that It
was essential that the accused person was
In fact In the state of New Jersey at the
time of the commission of the alleged
offenfc.
The governor says the only evidence be
fore him of the presence in New Jersey of
Mr. Armour on or about the time of the
commission of the alleged offense was hla
presence In Hoboken In March, 190?. to take
passage from that city - to Kurope, and
again In June, 1909, on hla return from
Europe.
The governor holds that the proof before
him Is barren of. any facta warranting an
Inference that Mr. Armour waa In Hoboken
for any other purposes than the. taking of
passage to Europe and returning therefrom.
Governor Fort also saya that the proof as
to the presence of Mr. Armour in New Jer
sey does not coincide with the daya set out
In the Indictment as the time of the com
mission of the alleged conspiracy.
There are other applications pending be
fore Governor Fort for the extradition of
others connected with the meat packing
companies In the wesL but when the hear
ing waa sought by counsel for the packers
the Armour case was selected as a test one
and a hearing was given upon that alone.
W'hether applications for extradition will
now be pressed In the cases of the other
packers will depend upon Proiecutor Gar
ven. Unless some new point can be raised by
the prosecutor the applications will! remit
In a refusal by the governor to grant requi
sitions on the governor of Illinois.

HIS ACTION CREATES SENSATION

He Will Kill More
, Snnkra.
WASHINGTON. May 7.-The cross-ex
amination of Secretary Bslllnger by Mr.
Brandeia was progressing with but mo
mentary renewals of the frequent hitter
clashes of yesterday before the Rallinger-
Plnchot Investigating committee this morn
ing, when there developed the most specta
cular Incident of thr hearing.
Horace T. Jones, n special 'agent of the
land office, who testified rotne time ago
111 support of Ixiuis It. Glavls, arose in hi
place among the spectators and .announced
in a loud voles that he did not bnlleve a
statement made by Secretary Ralllnger was
true and that he desired that a wttress be
called to substantiate or deny what Mr.
Rallinger bad said.
The statement had to do with Jones'
ability as an agent and was attributed by
Secretary Ballinger to Special Agent E. W.
Dixon.
When tho commotion in the committee
room following Jones' Interruption had
subsided. Senator Root demanded that the
witness be admonished that a repetition of
his outburst would subject him to punish-
merit for contempt.
. o Interest In Claims.
Attorney Brandels questioned Mr. Bal
linger as to whether or not the Cunning
ham claims were not oremost In his mind
when he appeared before congress in be
half of tho remedial legislation. Mr. Bal
linger Insisted they were not.
"And I want to reiterate right here,"
added the witness, "that I had no Interest
In the Cunningham claims then,, now or at
any other time. The imputations In your
questions are unfounded and haven't a leg
to stand upon. The Cunningham claims
had gone to entry and needed no legisla
tion. , "and If I had wanted, to patent those
claims, I could have gone ahead and done
so regardless of . the Glavls report. Hut
when that report was received, It was a
mattrr of Importance to hold up the
claims and wait to see If Glavls had any
thing; to let him come through Vlth It,
which he never did.
"As matters stand those claims were
suspended by me and atill are suspended.
No harm has come to the government. Yet
If I had wanted to act In bad faith. It
would have been very easy for me to say
there was nothing in the charges against
the claims and to have them patenud."
More Snakes to Kill.
A long discussion here eusurd as to
wheth?r upeclal agrnta ever took a view
of claims other than the detectives view.
Mr. Ballinger said he was Sony to say that
that Was true, n was tasler, he delared.
to do an Injustice to the individual than
to do him Justice. Attorney Rrandels sug
gested, however, that Mr. Ballinger bad
contiol of the agenta.
"Vs." snapped the secretary, "and 1
have found that the only way tu control
some of those chaps Is to discharge them'."
"When do you contemplate taking that
snake-killing step," inquired Attorney
Brandt is.
' 1 want to say right now that If I am
to continue as had of tha Interior de
partment they will be killed, everyone or
them. If I am to admlniettr the affairs ol
that department H will be with the loya!
tupport of every man In It. I want to

"And will you ktndlv make that nolle
