DEMANDS APOLOGY
FROM ROOSEVELT
Author of "Animal Life" Says Na
lion's Chief Executive Has
Attempted to Injure Him
USES STRONG TERMS
Writes Letter in Which Are Couched
Strong Expressions Regarding
Merits of Jlis Position.
Stanford, Conn., May 28. Dr. J.
W. Long tonight made public a let
ter sent by him to President Roose
velt. In substance the letter says
that in a recent article the President
deliberately attacked Long as well
as his book.
"You have used the enormous in
fluence of your official position to dis
credit me as a man, to injure my
reputation and incidentally to make
a pbor man poorer by destroying, if
possible, the sale and influence of his
book. Long says he has given the
result of long years of watching wild
animals for the purpose of studying
their habits and to ascertain, so far
as man can, their domestic life. The
incidents recorded from his own ob
servations are true as far as an hon
est educated man can see and under
stand the truth. Long says as the
President of the United States,
Roosevelt has gone out of his way
to publicly Injure a private citizen
who was attending strictly to his own
business; as a man, you have ac
cused of falsehood another man
whose Ideals of truth and falsehood
are quite as high as your own."
Long goes on to say if he has
spoken falsely, or if he has wilfully
deceived any child or man reading
"Animal Life," ho promises to re
tract every word and never write
another animal book. On the other
hand, if he shows to any disinterested
person that Roosevelt has accused
him falsely, "You must publicly with
draw your accusation and apologize."
Long then takes up the principal
statements to which the President
takes exception and cites eye wit
neses to incidents alluded to In his
book to substantiate his statements.
"If this testimony," says Long, "Is
not enough, I will fill it up to full
Scriptural measure." Concluding
Long says the President cannot at
this stage take refuge behind his
Presidential office and maintain
silence. "You have forfeited your
right to that silence by breaking it by
coming out in public to attack a pri
vate citizen. If your talk of square
deal is not all sham, if your frequent
'moral preaching Is not hypocritical,
. I call upon you as Presldnt, aa man,
'to come out and admit the error of
' your charge, in the same opon and
"public way in which you made it."

Bold Robber Makes Midnight Haul
From Saloon and General
Merchandise Store
NO ARRESTS MADE
Other News Items Thomas Randall
Jailed for Selling Liquor
to Minors.
(Times Special Service.)
Bandon, May 2S. Excitement Is
intense here as tho result of a whole
sale haul made early this morning
by some unknown party. The El
dorado saloon, owned b'y the Ras
muBsen Brothers, was entered some
time after midnight and the till was
cleaned of over ?36. Tho general
merchandise store of tho firm of
Lorenz nnd Hoyt was also entered,
supposedly by the same party, and re
lieved of a suit, hat and other ar
ticles of clothing. Tho store was
entered through a trap door In tho
rear, and it is thought from this that
the party was familiar with the
place. No suspects have been appre
hended. ,,
SELLS TO MINORS.
Selling liquor to twelve and thirteen-year-old
boys is dangerous prac
tice, as was demonstrated Saturday
when A. E. Hadscll had Thomas
Randall, of Bandon, lodged in the
county Jail at Coqullle to await the
July term of court. George N. Far
rin prosecuted. Several of tho boys
to whom Randall sold liquor were
unable to go homo for several hours
as a result of their intoxicated con
dition. Randall has not a proper
license and this charge will also bo
brought against him.
I1ANDON FLOURISHING.
Bandon is in a flourishing condi
tion, and business Is going on In that
city that would do credit to a much
larger place. Tho pulp mill will soon
be a reality. The two shipyards
have four largo vessels under course
of construction, and In nddltlon a
great deal of building Is going on.
Among tho now residences being con
structed is one by Nels Rasmussen.
This Is a modern house In overy re
spect, and Is said to bo one of the
finest In the city.
Tho Bandon Hotel, operated by
the Galller Brothers, Is doing a
heavy business, and Is generally
crowded to capacity. Sunday over
three hundred dinners were served
there. This is quite a record for a
hotel of its size.
AL"L ex U. S. and Confederate Sol
diers and Sailors are requested to
meet in old Masonic Hall (over P. O.)
at 1:30 o'clock Thursday to attend
