At the request of the King --of Belgium, Henry 1. Kowalskv, of the San Francisco bar, a personal friend of King Leosld, called at tbe White House today by appointment and presented tbe reply of the federation for the defense of Belgium's interests abroad to attacks made on the government of the Congo. Mr. Kowalsky presented an autograph picture of King Leopold framed In silver. In the wurae of an extended audience with tbe president, Mr. Kowalsky said: Interested Britishers are endavor-lnunder the guise of friendship of the Congo Free Slate natives, to oicn the quest ion of sovereignty of those nations by railing a conference by the powers, at which it is hoped by tbe Britishers that England may establish the contention that Belgium is absolutely impotent to maintain an government in the Congo. In an interview with the Associated Press, Mr. Kowalsky said: I presented tn ihe president a letIn reply to the ter from King baseless charges of the British humanitarians and also other documents stating the Belyiau side of this controversy. "The testimony of travelers, from the days of Sir Stanley to Ihe present time. Is unanlniuus and emphatic in praise of the Congo Free Slate government. If It were necessary to disprove such i.'icnnsistr nt and palpably iafoe charges as those which try to ms! it appear that the Belgian officials in the Congo chop off the hands of the Macks whom they are trying to enslave, we could bring the statements of such ts Major James Harrison, Sir Harry lohnston.

After hla visit to the White House, Mr. Kowalsky aeut a ruble-grato King Leopold, assuring him uf the presidents apprrciaiion of his majesty's thoughtful conshU'iatlnn. King Leopold, in his letter to Mr. Kowalsky, a copy of which was left with tbe president, encloses a statement about, the Congo trout the federation for the defense of Belgian interests abroad, and says: You will, In delivering Ibis comto the president, reitermunication ate to him on my hrhalf the feHings of esteem I have for him and the unshaken confidence I place fn his spirit of Justice and impart !h Illy. 1 have fo express the desiro that Mr. Roosevelt, will ViuvHy take cognizance of this address in your presence so that you may Ire afforded an opportunity to give him any further information he might wish to obtain from you.
