. GERARD IS CONVINCED
PEACE IN SIGHT;
A. P. A. Service.
BERLIN, May -'8.—American
Ambassador Gerard is convinced
that peace is at least in sight and
has not hesitated to openly voice
his opinion. According to ait
interview with the ambassador
published in a Munich paper
from its Berlin correspondent, he
is quoted as saying that nothing
can shake his confidence that
peace is on its way.
The reasons upon which the,
ambassador bases his beliefs are
not disclosed. It is evident that
he is not alone, however, as tfhe
same opinion is reflected else
where in ininistrial circles. Gov
ernment officials profess to know |
nothing concerning the reason
for the extraordinary sentiment
which is apparently in no wise
substantiated by events.

W ASH IN GTO N. M ay 29.
Rumors are circulating in official
circles t*hat serious differences
have arisen between Secretary
Lane and Daniels over the ques
tion of restoring to former claim
ants the California oil lands
withdrawn by President Taft for
the uses of the navy.
Daniels insists tlrat the lands
:<hall remain under tlv; control of
the navy department while Lane
I is said to be equally insistant
| that the land shall be restored
to the men who filed on claims.
It is the Lane contention t*hat the
opening of the Matanuska coat
fields will give the navy ample
fuel supplies for the present and
there is no necessity of holding
on to the great area of oil land
withdrawn by Taft. He also con
tends that he remaining oil areas
will lie ample to supply all de~
mands of the navy.

ASSASSIN “ ATTEMPTS
Eoostmrs life
By A. P. A. Service.
KANSAS CITY, May 19
For the second time in his career
Theodore Roosevelt was close to
death at the hands of an assas
sin today and tliat the former
president was not killed or seri
ously injured is considered little
short of a miracle.
Roosevelt arrived in the city
this morning to deliver an ad
dress and was on his way to a
hotel when the attempt to as
sassinate him occurred The car
in which he was being driven
was proceeding along Grand
avenue tlirougli a large con
. people gathered to see
him. .Suddenly, without a hint
of warning a heavy knife with
a tour inch blade was hurled by
some unknown person at the
former president.
Owing doubtless to the speed
of the car the weapon missed tlhe
figure at which it was aimed and
buried itself in the wood work of
the tonneau but a few inches
#_
from the spot where Roosevelt
sat. Weapon struck point first,
hung for a moment and fell to
the running hoard of tlic car.
Had the would he assassin aim
ed a few inches higher the knite
would undoubtedly have struck
Roosevelt as the aim was other
wise true. Several persons wit
nelsed the act but before the
man could be apprehended he had
dashed through the crowd and
escaped. The incident has ere
ated great excitement in the
city. Roosevelt himself had lit
tle to say of the matter beyond
(lie statement that such things
would occasionally occur.
