The Roosevelt libel trial in Syracuse N.

It it stated that the American Red Cross has spent over one million dollars for the relief of sufferers from the war in Europe. A serious automobile accident near the Capital emphasizes the fact that too much care cannot be exercised in the operation of automobiles on the public highways. An exchange makes the suggestion that it would be a good thing to keep the Barnes- Roosevelt jury intact after the close of the libel trial and offer it to the warring powers of Europe as a tribunal before which they can settle their differences.

The Middlebury Register in a recent issue printed an automobile advertisement, for the first time in its history. The Register was, until the demise of the late Joseph Battel, probably the only paper in the country, or any other country for that matter, which invariably refused automobile advertising.

Tavenner of Illinois, is right after the "war supply trust" which ihe denominates "the ring." He asks a few questions, which, if based on correct premises, ought, to be answered with proper ex-.

"Why has 4he war department been paying the ring $17.50 for a 3.8 inch common shrapnel when it can manufacture and manufacturing the identical article at Frankford for, Seventeen dollars and fifteen cents is more than twice $7.94. The government could manufacture two shrapnels for the price it has been paying the private manufacturers for one and have $1.62 remaining to the people's credit each transaction. Is it any wonder we do not have as much ammunition as we should have for the money that has been expended? It is the public funds that are being spent here, and the people have a right to have these questions answered. "We are manufacturing a 31-second combination fuse in the government arsenal for, $2.92 for which we have been paying the ring $7.

"These illustrations are not exception, as I will endeavor to show by the fact that on a contract given to Arsenal, for ammunition valued at $1,900,064 we are saving or, in other words, we are saving approximately $1,000,000 on a $2,000,000 order as compared with what it would have cost had than con tract been awarded the ammunition ring." continue! from 1 Vienna, April 25, via Paris, April 2C Charged With attempting to sell to a foreign power railroad plans for the mobilization the Italian army, John Schiehew, an Interpreter, and Anesto Crescente, a designer, employed in the technical office of the Italian railroads have been arrested for high treason. Paris, April 26. -A diplomat accredited to the quirinal who requested that his name be not disclosed, told the Matia's Geneva correspondent that in conversation with Prince Von Beulow, the German ambassador appeared pessimistic over the outlook of a peaceful solution of the Austro-Italian difficulties. "The situation looks glowing," Prince Von Beulow is quoted as saying, "and I expect no good can coma from it. Italy's contentions are such that it is impossible for Austria to accept them.

At the same time military preparations are assuming such proportion that diplomatic pressure is inadmissible. Evidently the object of the negotiations was to gain time." London, April 26. The administration and the war office declared this afternoon that a general attack on the Dardanelles had been begun. An army, it was said had been disembarked successfully.

Under the conditions it seems to me that while it will de damage to renominate him, it will do more damage not to and that this damage will extend outside the state. While therefore I want to emphatically disclaim any sense to dictate the nomination.

I think I ought to tell you my judgment is the convention ought to renominate him. I a msure delegates from this district will be for him. Bennett, Sherman and Dady insist there is no alternative to his renom-inatiqn. Hitchcock says not to renominate him would be a harm to the canvass outside of New Yqrk as well as in his Judgment in New York. Even Smith finally announces he was inclined to take the eame view.

I may add that every man present agreed to keep absolutely quiet in this matter and to consul with you. among others, before any kind of conclusion was announced, but from the papers I should judge some one had talked. It was not for no newspaper man communicated directly or indirectly with me, and I was as much surprised as any one when I saw the statement in the papers." A copy or the above letter was sent to Mr. Parsons. On August 24, 1908 Col.

Roosevelt wrote to Mr. Barnes as "Most emphatically, whatever my friends do up in Albany I shall stand by them. I have goven them, including you, my best judgment It is not a judgment based on the newspaper. It is what judgment Congressman Bennett finds from a personal canvass, that Sol Strassburger finds on each side of New York, but Prendergast and Mike Deady find in Brooklyn; wha tCocks finds here in my own district; what Jim Sherman finds to be the overwhelming sentiment hight near you in central New York, what Hitchcock says as to the effect outside." "Now if you and those like you fear that I shall ask you to cut your throat your fear is groundless, but my judgment is the convention will nominate Hughes, that it will hurt very much more not to nominate him than to nominate him, although it woll undoubtedly hurt us to nominate him." On August 27 Col. Roosevelt wrote to Mr.

Parsons who at that time was a New York congressman from the White House. In part the letter was as follows: "You were very strong in your statement in what manner the men underweight the Hughes unpopularity, and I certainly understand that they say that Bennett felt as you did. As an unimportant incident I may mention that Amos Pinchot says that youhad entirely mistaken him and that he favored the nomination of Hughes. "When Bennett tells me local lead ers like Straasburg say that sentiment is very strong for the renomination of Hughes, I have got to take notice of it I entirely agree with all you sayas to your just reasons for the complaint against Gov. Hughes and furthermore all you say that many of those who desire his renomination, desire it chiefly for hurting the Republican party.

Moreover, my dear Parsons, you can hardly seriously suppose, to quote your own words, I am trying to 'treat you as a puppet' that is, if you mean when you say those in charge of national which of course I am not On the contrary' have written again and again to Taft and to Hitchcock not to make any open statement and I haven't the slightest intention of 'telling you what to do' and never will 'tell the" newspapers you will be told what to do' and never have thought of so telling them. You wrote to see me, and I to say nething until I have seen you. I saw We went over the situation. I afterwards saw Bennett and various others, including Sherman, and the situation as they related it was so totally different that I felt I ought to tell you with the other knowledge brought to me, had made me alter my mind as to what was the wise thing to do." "But surely my letter most explicitly does not seek to dictate to you. Still I absolutely agree with you that there are many currents against Hughes; are many surrents against Hughes; but I don't, see whom you are going to put in his place who won't be weaker.

SrOf course I want the fullest and most open expression of preference at the primaries. That I shall heartily support whatever you, ras- sett and the rest of the leaders finally do, and have no intention of forcing of the nomination or of trying to; but that, unless you object I should like, as a good Republican and party man and 3 staunch believer in you, to tell you mv judgment for whatever it is worth." A series of confidential letters taken from the files of the late Thomas C. Piatt, while he was representing the state of New York in the United States sente were also read to "the VELVET JOE A The Genial Kentuckian Breaks Into a mm mm wiui utile Volume ailed "Pipe Philosophy" An'tale that have lived an' vnll live.

So reads the title page of "Pipe Philosophy," the book that Velvet Joe has dedicated "to all pipe lovers, to all who love pipe lovers, to all whom pipe lovers love" which sentiment leads one to suspect that the author does not expect to limit his readers to the voting sex. To quote from the preface of "Pipe "Since the days of Sir Walter Raleigh, literature has owed an ever-increasing debt to the inspiration that is found in good "How much more human and kindly are the works of Dickens, because of the cheerful flavor of, good dinners and good pipes that prevades pages!

The readers of our columns who have enjoyed fragmentary bits of Velvet Joe's philosophy and verse, will no doubt welcome the opportunity of obtaining this author's writing in a permanent form. And although "Pipe Philosophy" is not on sale, Velvet Joe's publishers state that any one can obtain a- copy by sending a 2-cent stamp to Liggett Myers Tobacco Company, St. Louis, to cover the cost of mailing, etc. A la-ga ntunbsr of men and women, interested in social service attended the Washington County jail services yeeteiday afternoon Mr. J.

Some of the letters were signed by Senator Piatt, while others were signed by CoL Roosevelt. In nearly all of them the writers discussed candidates for offices in the state government and in reply to the question 'of Mr. Barnes' counsel, the former president said with the slightest hesitation he consulted freely with Senator Piatt about affairs at Albany, knowing and realizing he was the "boss" of the Republican party in this state! One. of the letters read during the forenoon session contained this postscript: "All right, 111 change the whole board of tax assessors." The letters were brought to Syracuse by the former senator's son and turned over to the counsel for Mr. Barnes.

Although the colonel raid he had never made it known to the public that he was con ferring with Mr. Piatt over appointment he denied emphatically that such conferences constituted "invisible government." "My action," the witness asserted, "was as invisible as it could be." Montpelier and Vicinity Clifton H. Smith returned to Harvard Dental College Soiton, Sunday noon.
