D. G. REID STAYS IN NATIVE LAND ASSERTFRIENDS Local Relatives Deny Expatriation of Tinplate King and Purchase of Warwick Castle. New York Report Claims Former Richmond Man Takes $80,000,000 to New England Home. "To the best of my knowledge D. G. Held has not purchased the Warwick Castle in England, and as to the report that he intends to make England his future home, to expatriate himself, that is absurd." This statement was made today by E prominent Richmond man, a relative of his and who in the past has been closely associated with him. He further stated that another American had leased Warwick Castle for a period of two years. "I know that if Mr. Heid ever left the United States he would not make England his home. He would live fit her in Paris or some place in Germany. Should Mr. Reid ever go abroad to live, it would not be until he had definitelv decided to retire from active business affairs, and I know that j he now has no idea of retiring from business. It is also a fact that if Mr. Reid was going abroad to live he would fco notify the members of his family, which he has not done." Deny Expatriation. The reported action of Mr. Reid in expatriating himself, on the eve of the governmental investigation of the Kock Island railroad system, in which he has been heavily interested, was published yesterday, but local friends of Mr. Reid unite in declaring this reJiort has no foundation of facts. He Bailed for Europe several weeks ago but is expected to return within a short time. Sunday the Cincinnati Enquirer published the following New York dispatch : The announcement of Mr. Reid's intention to expatriate himself and make his home in a famous and historical English castle, appeared in the Cincinnati Enquirer Sunday, and will be of Interest to his hundreds of for-; mer Richmond friends: Daniel G.

Roosevelt Claims Poverty's Pinch Created by Wilson s Trust and Tariff Failures

Theodore Roosevelt in a statement issued today, declares he will enter the political arena and reiterates his faith in the principles of the Progres- , sive party. The text of the state- j ment: ! "Since my return from South Amer- ! ica 1 have received hundreds of tele- : grams and letters from all over the country requesting statements from me on the political situation.

The cost of living has not been reduced. Not the slightest progress has been made in solving the trust question. It has been shown that the reduction of the tariff in no yhape or way helps towards this solution. The economic conditions are such that business is in jeopardy and that the small business man, the farmer and the industrial wage-worker are all suffering because of these conditions. "The truth simply is that the only wise and sane propositions, the only propositions which represent a constructive governmental progressivism and the resolute purpose to secure 1 ESS OUTLOOK GOOD, SMS WILSON Denies Depression and As-j serts Unrest Radiates From Railroad Offices WASHIXGTOX, June 1. President Wilson today expressed himself freely on business condiiions and also with regard to the Clayton anti-trust bill. He told his callers he doe;; not believe there is any depression in general in the United States, hut wherever th depression exists it radiates from railroad offices and related industries, ii. eluding the steel business, and that the ordinary buying and selling of the ; nation has not been atlected That, railroad depression has exercised great influence on the country and has affected credit markets he has no doubt. There is a. world-wide depression in business according to reports that come to him, and the United States is not suffering from it nearly so much as other nations, he believes. The president pointed to the statement from President Fnrrell. of the United States Steel corporation, and E. II. Gary that the outlook in the steel industry is excellent. He does not believe that the tariff has had anything to do with existing business conditions. Secretary of Commerce Redfiold recently reported to him that the exports of the country were increasing more rapidly than the imports. In view of these facts, the president

good results instead of fine phrases, were the principles enunciated in the Progressive platform in connection with the trusts and the tariff alike, Our policies would have secured the passing around of prosperity and also the existence of a sufficient amount of prosperity to be passed around.

What do You Think of Helen And Warrens Marital Troubles

The marital experiences of Helen and Warren have entertained thousands of Palladium readers. The masculine unconcern with which Warren treats some questions that drive Helen almost into hysterics, and the thousand and one nonsensical worries of Helen have aroused conflicting feelings of approbation and condemnation in the many readers of the greatest serial feature ever run in an eastern Indiana newspaper. Almost every reader of The Palladium has made up his mind as to which of the two is to blame for the matrimonial misunderstandings of the couple. The Palladium wants you to write a short letter setting forth your judgment on the question. Communications need be signed only by the initials of the writer, and will be printed in the order of their receipt at the office. Readers are requested to keep their letters short. If you believe Warren is a brute and the sole cause of Helen's misery, say so;:if you believe Helen is a simpering, nervous bit of femininity, put your judgment in writing and send it to The Palladium. The first letters will appear in tomorrow night's issue. For the latest news read The Palladium.

statement made by Detective Abel to The Palladium representatives this noon. "A telephone conversation Mrs. Winters had. letters I found at the Winters home and garments belonging to the child, which had been hidden, are my evidence for the charge I am making." Detective Abel today gave a Palladium staff correspondent the first outline he has published as to the theory of the alleged murder of pretty little ; Catherine. He savs he believes Mrs. ; frenuentlv wore, which has a large hole burned in the back. Take Arrest Very Calmly.

Mr. Cooper was employed here, yet this irresponsible Abel has been allowed to come here and make these charges." Wanted Trial at Once. Mrs. Winters interrupted the attorney saying, "we are ready to be tried and we want to be tried right away." Dr. Winters nodded his assent to her statement. At the close of Barnard's remarks Prosecuting Attorney Walter Myers was prompted by the judge to make his address. He declined to say anything at this time except to ask that bonds of ?lo,000 each be fixed for the three defendants. He said after the hearing that he would fight the request for an immediate trial. The bonds were signed by Scott Robe, a farmer, and Frank Sitton. a relative. Reward for Finding Child. There is a reward of $2.3i0 outstanding in connection with the Winters ca6e. but mot of this money is for the safe return of the child alive. Thus, if the child should be found dead, or evidence discovered that she has been murdered. Abel, the detective would get little or none of the reward money. However, it is believed that the New Castle people would se to it tfiat he did not go unrewarded. Abel was employed recently by Mayor Watkins. who has already paid him about fSO expense money from the fund that has been raised by the eshibition of the moving pictures. Former Prosecutor's View. H. H. Evans, former prosecuting attorney, said Saturday: "In regard to this noted ease, the half has never been told and never will be told until Dr. Winters reveals what he knows. The people of this community have been charitable and generous in their donations of time and money in making search for the child, and until the ease takes a turn from wliat it has. it seems to me that the public should no longer be duped.
