W. Thoiuimon, a reporter oti the New
York Times, was the first witness to
day at the resumption of the trial of
the damage case of Theodore Koose
velt against Kdltor Newell, lie swore
that during the limes he wua with
Roosevelt thut the ex-lresideut was
always sober, that he drunk only a
single glass of champagne at ban
quels and that his manner was posi
tive and cool.
Thompson swore that he never
even heard of the "suggestion" of
lloosevell being drunk, lie deelared
also that he never used profanity and
t hat "no one dared use an obscene
word in his p rese nee. ' '
Thompson was followed on the
stand by I'hillip Roosevelt, a cousin
of the ex-lresident. The witness,
who is -1 years of age and ti feet 7
ini'hes tall, said he knew the Colonel
ho well that he had been "swimming
with him when he had on no clothes."
He until he had been a newspaper
man since March, and accompanied
the Colonel on his trip through
Northern Michigan. He said: "The
Colonel hardly ever drinks anything
except at night, and then a tcaspoon
ful of brandy in milk." Asked if he
ever saw the slightest indication of
Uoosevelt being intoxicated, witness
shouted. "Of course not."
Hearsay Not Permitted.
Wednesday's proceedings were
marked by an Important ruling by
Judge Flnnnlgnn, which, in the in
troduction of evidence by the defense
will have the effect of excluding cer
tain kinds of hearsay evidence. This
ruling came after a prolonged argu
ment during which the jurors were
excluded from the room, and after
the attorneys for the Colonel had
urged the exclusion of certain kinds
of testimony i ich they said might
he introduce by the defense
through deposi. i taken from per
sons in various part of the country.
Keputalimi lit Strtke.
The effect of this ruling was that
the Colonel's reputation is the issue
iu the case and testimony on his
repulat ion may be introduced but
that rumor, or reports about bis
reputation, Cuming from persons not
(lualilled by experience to judge,
shall not be admitted. In the fu
ture progress of the hearing, It way
explained by the court, persons who
traveled with the former President
or who had been associated with him
with any degree of constancy may
testify to his reputation.
A man who has men ly heard him
deliver a political speech or had
seen him for a few moments in a
crowd may not testify as to bin repu
tation, although he may tel: bow
the Colonel acted or appeared at thai
particular time.
XKW YORK, May 28. "The Jap
anese would not dare to invaae
America but if they did I would
shoulder a gun myself and fight
them, although I am a man of peace."
This was the last word of Andrew
Carnegie, who sailed on the Olympic
to present personnll' to Kaiser Wll
helm the peace -Lid-ess framed In the
recent St. I -on Is peace conference.
Carnegie will also attend The Hague
peace meeting before returning home.
"It would be foolish," Carnegie
said, "for Japan to go to war with
America. The Japanese might get
into America, but they couldn't g;t
out.
"1 am a man of peace, but If the
laps should star; hostilities I would
shoulder a gun myself. We have
22.Odil.ono men In Anwrlci capable
of handling arms, and Ji.mu knowa
it.

if they want any more from Amertce.
than they receive from 0ngland and
other nations In the way of treatment
of their citizens HvIuk on alien soli.
It is foolish of them to expect It."

first three runs in the second on hits
tiy Jewett and II. Quine, a wild throw
to first on the third strike of the next
batter and Kiebel's slow roller. They
registered their fourth run in the
third on Whipple's fine base running,
niter he had been pased to first.
In the fatal eighth a combination

fire of unknown origin completely
destroyed the confectionery store and
home of Mr. Short, at Myrtle Creek.
The store waa iu the two-story build
ing owned by Dr. C. K. Hogue, now of
Portlund, and formerly occupied by
him as a drugstore. A small barn
adjacent to the other buildings was
also burned. The (tore building,
cottage and barn were of the approxi
mate value of $4000, covered by $2.
fiOtl Insurance. The confectionery
stock and fixtures, including a soda
fountuln, were valued at $1600,
with about 11100 Insurance. Mr.
Short also lost some household ef
fect, although saving a considerable
portion of such belongings.
There Is now clew to the origin of
the fire, the principal theory being
that it originated from a smoulder
ing cigar stub thrown beneath the
store building. The reur half of the
store, which stood high above the
ground upon wooden supports, was
all in flames when the fire was dis
covered. It Ib not known that there
was any fire in the building during
the day or evening.
