Ulllun Hobart French, for merly of Butto, Mom., who Is threatening suit agalnit F. Augustus Holme, the Mon tana copper millionaire for 2i.0uo worth of ( uretie which she claims he gave her and then borrowed back again, gave a candid recital of a new chapter of her acquaint ance with Mr. Ilelnxe today. Mri. French, who Is trying to keep her old friend from Butte from marrying Mrs. Bernlce Henderson, a Broadway chorus girl, delved Into the eHlnse closet and while therein took occasion to rattle something which sounded dangerously rear like a skeleton. In brief, the woman said that the Stand ard Oil company, through a " beautiful woman spy, learned of Mr. Helnxe's actions Just prior to 1907, when he with Charles T. liarney and Charles W. Morse, were form ing the United Copper pool. Morso with drew and kVe deal fell through, shattering the fortunVa of Barney and Morse and aendlng Barney to his death by suicide and Morse to the federal prison at Atlanta. Mrs, French said that the Standard had been trying for six years to get revenge Upon Helnse, who was described In Wall treet at that time as, "a fresh young fellow from Butte," Some yeare before Helnse had dictated the terms In the Amal gamated Copper deal In Montana and this Settlement cost the Standard S12.0OO.O0O. .

Lawson of Boston and Mr. Helnse. Bonie of the details of the settlement In the coppe rwar were never cleared up until Mrs. French made her sensational remarks today. Tha copper- war Involved some ot the coiintry'a foremost financiers, number ing, among them. In addition to Helnse,' Rogers and Uwnon, tha members of the Rockefeller family. Skipping over tha Interesting, period In which the Standard Oil company was "lay ing low" and waiting for an opportunity to ven up old scores because of the dictatorial wanner In which Helnse had arbitrated the Amalgamated deal, Mrs. French came eaat and was Initialled as Mr. Helnse's house' keeper In apnrtmenta facing the Waldorf. . . . , . . a u..t..-- -n Mrs. Frenen aaserui inni aim iicih " lived aa man and wife In at least four New York hotels whfen sne names oerore iney settled down within the shadow of the Wal dorf.

She played her game ! so well thut Instead of seeking the friend ship of Mr. Helnse, he sought hem. "They spont much time together and thla I cievcr woman lost nu tme In worming all the business aecrets out of Helnse. Ill the meantime Morse grew frightened and quit.

WASHINGTON, Au(. 27. (Special Tcle aram.) If Colonel Theodore eiwisevelt tlll seems disposed to take a crWV at Ameri cana for race suicide, he will t plenty of material, because the census f. naves which are being complied here ahow that the birth rate haa dwindled to a treat extent In the last ten years. Government statisticians who are working- with the figures turned In during the census taking- say that the signs ahow a big growth In race suicide. The Internal Increase In population from 1900 to 1910 was about t.OOO.OOO, as against 11.000,000 between the years of 1SU0 and 1900. Ths deduction Is made on the estimate that the 1910 census will show a population of 90,000,000, an Increase of 14.000,000 since 1X90. However. It la estimated that Included In this 14,000,000 are 9.000,000 Immigrants, thus leaving only 6.000,000 (hat were born In the decade. Using the same method of ", n is estimated mat n.uw.wo were oorn in the decade between 1S90 and 1900. It Is well known that the birth rate In foreign families la much higher than In America, so that figuring finely It would appear that not more than S.OOO.OOO babies have been born In the United States In typical American families In the last ten years. , , In New York City and In other congested centers It Is estimated that the birth rate In foreign families Is over 7S per cent higher than In American families.! Pursuing this trend of reasoning even further. It would appear that some day real American famlllea will be extinct, while the United State will be Inhabited by a polyglot nation of cosmopolitans. Census experts estimate that the urban population of the United States will show an Increase of 46 per cent in the last ten years. However, the returns are generally unsatisfactory.

It will and must Imply no degradation of the Koreana, who, under the annexation, will enjoy exactly tha aame righta In Korea aa the Japanese, It Is the wish and command of the emperor of Japan that every effort be made to make the Koreans feel no humiliation, but rather relief at the annexation. 'The policy of Japan In administering the new portion of the empire will be directed towards a steady Improvement of condi tions and Improvement of the resourcea of Korea." It may be stated with authority that al though tha treatlea of Korea with foreign powers lapse with the annexation, the present customs tariff of Korea, which Is much lower than that of Japan, will be continued for an Indefinite period under Japanese rule. This Is the point by which foreign intersxla might chiefly be affected If tha Japanese tariffs were Introduced.

ItOOSEVELT WITH HIS OLUFRIENDS Former President of the United States at Frontier Day Festivities at Cheyenne. GREETED BY HIS OLD COMRADES Reviews the Scenes of Years Ago Upon Western Plains. CLASPS HANDS WITH COWBOYS Greatly Interested, Watches Roping Contests and Races. PAYS TRIBUTE TO REMINGTON West Turns Out Its Thousands, Who Cheer Their Idol as Ha Stands and Watches the Passing; Show. BY HOMER DAVENPORT. CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Aug. 27.-(Speolal Telegram.) Into the midst of a picturesque setting, representing the old frontier daya of the west, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, former president of the United States, made a triumphal entry today, shook hands with old friends, looked upon the old scenes, reviewed a parade and delivered a speech, not to mention eating a luncheon tendered him by publlo spirited cltlsens ot Cheyenne a dinner given by the governor of the stale and a whooping, uproarious greeting from cowboys, soldiers and Indians. The west Is near to the heart of tha former president and he showed It plainly In his speech and his Joyous manner of entering Into the spirit of the occasion. Ha applauded and used every word In his emphatlo vocabulary In expressing his pleasure over the scenes of the afternoon when he watched cow roping contests and bucking broncho competitions and cow pony races, all Incidental to tho annual celebration of Frontier day. In his speech, the former president dwelt upon tho debt which the nation owes to Frederic Remington, the artist who per petuated in bronze and upon canvas the typical scenea of the old west when cow boys galloped over . the plains, and wild steera and buffalo were as plentiful aa chickens and pigs are loaa. Tribute, to Ilrnilngton. Colonel Roosevelt spoke of the lost op portunities of early artists and then re ferred to Mr. Remington by saying: "But In our generation for our good lirtune'a great artist arose who was ca pable of seeing and recording the Infinite plclureaquenesa of .th lira of, the plains and the Rookie. Of course I speak of Froderlo Remington." . . ' Tha biggest and best of wild west show marks tha passing of the goldcndays. The sheep man and his hereditary fee, th ranchman, now shake hands over barb wire fences and tho long grades that lead up to the summit of the Rockies have lost their romance- of round-use and Stampedes. Instead, railroad tracks cut up the plains and the foothills' and the most romantlo of the rocky buttes are seen through strands of telephone and telegraph wires. But the passing of the west has not dimmed Colonel Roosevelt's love for It. Ills memory of the old daya when he ran a ranch In upper Dakota will ever be green and consequently his affection for western men, manners and Institutions will - U v with him throughout this natural span. , From the time Colonel Roosevelt's party left New York Tuesday morning until the big show waa over today, it has been one great ovation. Whether the ovation was given by a mass of people or by a few, it was always full measure. Arms and Elbows Cat Ice. The greetings of Colonel Roosevelt some how seem to be different from those given to other publlo men. In the demonstrations for Colonel Roosevelt, anus and elbows cut much Ice, hats turn to flails and lungs give forth tones that are unmistakable. The folk of the country seem to consider him entirely different though he consider them all the same sound citisena When he scanned the audiences In north ern New York and said: "I like the stock of which you folks are made." .there was no doubt In the minds of his hearers that he meant what he said, and as the echoes died down one was con vinced that he stood better with thena liana the bosses, and that if Vice President Bhe. man, Barnes aim wooarutt were an 10 weigh in against him they would fare baui. Theodore Roosevelt seems to be, Inspired by the local color in which he finds him self. If he addresses an audience of busi ness men, as was the case at the public breakfast tendered him in Buffalo, he talks on matters pertaining to business, but In a different way. For instance ut Buffalo he told his audi ence that it was their duty to keep the waters of the Ureat LAkea pure; that "men must not pour their sewage Into their drink ing water." All through Ohio and the middle west the crowds were frantic to see at close range the man who had stirred up so much Interest In a few years. He seems to look, like he were plucked from the audience be fore him. ' ' Take llliu at Ills Word. When he told the mass of trainmen at one stop that he was a member of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Firemen, he looked like one of them and they took him at his word. At Chlcugo be was a typical Chlcagoan, but west of that he seemed to fit even more closely Into the environment in which he found himself. As the country "flat tened and the prairies commenced to tinge with wilder life, the colonel took on the changea gracefully as a ptarmlgun does at the beginning of winter. It is this faculty he haa of being Just the man for the place that pleases the masses so. Confronted by a mixed mass he stands alone aa one Theodore Roosevelt, the man, that never falls to please the people. That he possesses the personality with the power of a Napoleon la certain. An old woman tottering under thetwelght of 85 years said to her grandchildren at Cleveland: "Well, I saw him perfectly. Now I am satisfied, as 1 didn't calculate on hearing a word." At another stop some girls were so hilari ous over having shaken hla handa that young men were trading on the handshake, getting It second-hand from the colonel, first-hand from the blushing girls.
