ROOSEVELT HAPPY AFTERJESTIFYING Declines to Add to His Sworn Statement Made Before Senate Committee.

fPfatlonal News Association) NEW YORK, Oct. 5. "My sworn statement at Washington answers' all their charges, I've nothing else- to say about it either now or at any future time." In this manner ex-president Theodore Roosevelt today summed up all that he had to say about his testimony before the senatorial committee investigating campaign funds yesterday. He was bombarded with questions as soon as he arrived here from Washington in company with Dr. Lyman F. Abbott of the Outlook, the latter's son, j Ernest Abbott, and Collector of the ! Port Wm, Loeb, Jr. He had nothing to j Bay, however, except that he was in fine fettle. Read Newspapers. j The Colonel had read all the newspapers recounting his testimony before the committee and he seemed weir pleased with the absence of comment in some of the publications opposed to him politically. "I guess we've beaten them at their own game," said Collector Loeb to his former chief. "Yes, I gueBS so," replied the colonel, with a grin of satisfaction. "Well, doctor," said the. colonel, turning to Dr. Abbott, "I'm going to the Harvard club for some breakfast. I don't know whether you want to eat with me or not after what some of the newspapers have said about me." "Oh, I guess we can stand it if you can," was the reply. . "I'm used to it by this time," answered the ex-president. Helps Poor Woman. This conversation took place in one of the elevators in the Pennsylvania station. In the same elevator was a worn, tired looking woman with a baby in her arms and four small children at her knee. She had a quantity of bat tered luggage with her and was plainly in poor circumstances. The colonel patted one of the youngsters on the head and asked the porter who was caring for the mother's luggage, who she was. He learned that she was Mrs. Ellen Butler, bound back to her native Glasgow, Scotland, from a little town in Tennessee. When Col. Roosevelt found she was going to an Anchor line steamship and that she intended to walk, he drew a $10 bill from his pocket and pressed it into the woman's hand,' telling her she could take a taxicab. Then he hurried over to his own automobile and set out -for the Harvard club. f . , If you have young child rtj jqq havie perhaps noticed that disonfersf the stomach are their most common ailment.

WILEY MAKES ATTACK UPON COL. ROOSEVELT LAST NIGHT

Large Crowd Gathered at the Gennett Theater Enjoys a Caustic Speech of the Former Chief Chemist of the United States Wiley Claims Authorship of the Pure Food and Drug Act.

Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, former chief of the United States bureau of chemiBtry, in a caustic speech at the Gennett theater last evening charged Theodore Roosevelt and President Taft with nullifying the pure food and drug act. Dr. Wiley spoke under the auspices of the Democratic party, which he joined after "the perfidy of the Republican party towards the pure food act." His audience was delighted with his presentation and was on the friendliest terms with him from the time he began talking until he stopped. His frequent sallies at Roosevelt wre applauded. The pure food expert based his address on the principle that the basis of a republic is the good health and physical condition of its members. "If political parties and their leader undermine the health of the masses by refusing to prevent the adulteration of food and drugs such parties are recreant to their duty and do not deserve support," cried Dr. Wiley. Narrates Life's Work. He then proceeded to show how after thirty years of persistent work ho saw the pure food law passed. "That was the culmination of my life's work" said Dr. Wiley. "I was flushed with victory, but my joy was short lived." After telling of the efforts to weaken the pure food law. Dr. Wiley asked "Who committed this unpardonable sin against the conscience and health of the public? The great tribune of the people, Theodore Roosevelt, and his cabinet officers. I am naturally not greatly enthused with the prospect of the continuation of this crime against humanity by the return of Roosevelt to supreme power." Attacks Roosevelt. "Surely," continued the doctor, with, a satirical smile that brought a laush from his hearers, "as a matter of economy to this nation, it might be well to return Roosevelt to the White house. With Roosevelt in charge there would be no need of a congress and a Supreme Court. There would be no use for legislative and judicial departments. The only money needed to be appropriated would be that for the executive department. What's the use of all this machinery, anyhow, with Roosevelt to look after the affairs? When he is in the chair his cabinet officers are used only as a registration hoard for his edicts and a $2000 a year clerk would serve that purpose just as well. Then again, with Roosevelt in charge there could be great economy in printing. All public documents could be reduced because of the 26 letters In the alphabet, only one, the letter "I" would have any function. Roosevelt Pretender. "He says, 'I passed the pure food act.' I had suspicion that Wiley and a few other ordinary citizens backed by the people, practically, had something to do with it, but I find that I am mistaken. The hero of Armageddon did it GERMAN STEAMERS IN WRECK TODAY (Natlonat News Association) LONDON, Oct. 5. A dispatch from Hamburg to the Lloyds agencw states that the German steamer Vandalia was sunk there today in collision with a floating dock. Shortly afterward the German Steamer Gracia collided with the wreck of the Vandalia and was beached in a sinking condition. Both vessels were owned by the HamburgAmerican line. One member of the crew of the Gracia is missing, but with this exception all the seamen and passengers were safely landed.. Habits of Game Birds. I was riding along the shore of Great Bear lake, in Utah, one afternoon and, coming suddenly over a rise of ground, surprised a grebe in the edge of the tules. She swam into the lake, turning and calling repeatedly. Then two little grebes appeared, and. swimming low. with only their heads and beaks visible, hurried after their mother. As they overtook her, each one reached out and. catching the feathers of her back In their beaks, they drew themselves alongside and quickly huddled under her wing, completely hidden. Had I not been a spectator to the act I should never have suspected her of carrying two little "stowaways' as she hurried off. J. Alden Loring in Outing. Skillful Flattery. "How -welt you look!" "Do you think so?" "Yes. Indeed. I do. I never saw you looking better In my life." "I'm so glad to hear you say so. I hope you mean it." "I really do.

I'll not even refuse you nothing. I'll give it to you.'

all. Of course there seems to be a little difference of opinion between

Roosevelt and Senator Hepburn, who had charge of the bill on the floor of the Senate. The Senator in a letter suggested to Roosevelt that the people were very much in favor of the pure food law and that if he, Roosevelt, made a slight mention of it in his message, it would be a big help but Roosevelt In a letter to the Senator, said that the pure food bill was of such little significance that it was not worthy of mention in a presidential message. In a letter Roosevelt, with his usual modesty, declared that he himself had put the ;ure food law through and thaft he had worked with such men as Mr. Garfield, who at that time was Secretary of the Interior, but investigation revealed the fact that Mr. Garfield was not appointed until six months after the pure food law was passed and didn't even know that a bill of that kind was pending before Congress." Benzoate of Soda. Dr. Wiley told the story of his relations with Roosevelt in a story-like way that gave a peculiar spice to his genial humor. He told of a meeting that had been held in President Roosevelt's office at which there was present Solicitor McCabe and Associate Chemist Dunlap, a Mr. Curtis, of Rochester, N. Y.; a Mr. Grosvenor, representing the Williams Brothers of Detroit; James S. Sherman, at that time a member of the house of representatives, who represented Sherman Brothers. Display of Roosevcltian Anger. "They had spent the previous evening with the President, showing him how Wiley was ruining Republican business," declared Dr. Wiley. "This particular Republican business consisted of putting benzoate of soda and saccharin into hurrnn foods." The secretary of agriculture, who was present told the President that benzoate of soda was injurious in food, and Dr. Wiley told the President the same thing. Solicitor McCabe and Associate Dunlap agreed that benzoate of soda in food was injurious. The President then declared that the drug being injurious "had matters stopped there," declared Dr. Wiley, "there would have been no Ramsen board, but at this juncture Mr. Sherman interposed with, 'But, Mr. President, how about, the saccharin? My firm saved $4,000 last year by using saccharin instead of sugar.' I unfortunately butted in at this juncture and said, 'Yes, Mr. President, and every one who eats those products is deceived, believing he is eating sugar, and moreover, the health is threatened by this drug.' "Turning on me in sudden anger, the President said: 'Anybody who says saccharin is injurious is an idot; Dr. Wiley gives it to me every day.' Having thus had my mental classification officially defined, I withdrew." "HIGHER UPS" HIT IN A VICE PROBE (National News Association) , CHICAGO, Oct. 5 The first definite move in the state attorney's war against the "higher ups" in the antivice crusade came today when a war- ' rant was issued for Harrison B.

Richelieu as an Editor. The first reporter of France was Louis XIII. The national library possesses the manuscripts of thirty-six articles written by that king. Almost all are accounts of his military operations. These articles were published in the Gazette de France. The "copy." however, did not go directly to the printer. Louis XIII. wrote abominable French, and he had vngue notions of orthography. His articles were corrected and often entirely rearranged by a secretary named Lucas, who copied them, sending to Richelieu the new manuscript. Richelieu examined it in his turn and often Introduced additional corrections. At the siege of Corbie the king wrote a few lines eulogistic of the cardinal, but afterward crossed them out of his article. Richelieu wrote them in again, and so they appeared In the Gazette de France. Palladium Want Ads Pay. Folger P. Wilson Henry j. Pohlmeyer Harry C. Downing Harvey T.

The work of preparing Glen Miller park for winter is now in progress and Superintendent Ed Hollarn and hfs men are hard at work. All the animals are now in their winter quarters, excepting those which are not placed in winter quarters. The tender plants have been brought In and the shrubs are being bound and covered and the ground around their roots strengthened. Specimens of the Ampelopsis Veitchie vine, a kind of clinging ivy, was purchased yesterday from a Centerville nursery. This vine will be rlanted on both sides of the arch at the glen. It grows rapidly and will add greatly to the effectiveness of the arch, according to Mr. Hollarn. A hardy hedge 6iriiilar to a pivet hedge has been purchased and will be planted on both sides of the arch for seventy-five feet. The hedge grows to be four feet high but will be kept trimmed to the height of two feet.
