Says taw Does Not Require; "In God We Trust," and It Only Pro vokes Irreverence. WASHINGTON. Nov. 13. In answer to one of tha numerous protests which have been received at the White House against the new gold coins which have been coined without the words. "In God We Trust," President Roosevelt has written a letter which ha today made public. The letter follows: "When the question of the new coin age came up, we looked Into the law and found there was no warrant therein for putting 'In God We Trust" on the coins. Aa the custom, although without legal warrant, had grown up, however, I might have felt at liberty to keep the inscription had I approved of its being on the coinage. But as I did not approve of it, I did . not direct that it should again be put on. Of course, the matter of the law Is absolutely In the hands of I'onRress. and any action in that direction will be immediately obeyed. At present there Is no warrant in law for the inscrip tion. "My own feeling in the matter Is due to my very firm conviction that to put such a motto on coins, or to use It In any kindred manner, not only does no good, but does positive harm, and is in elToct irreverence, which comes danger ously close to sacrilege. A beautiful and solemn sentence, such as the one in ques tion, should be treated and uttered only with that fine reverence which neces sarily implies a certain exaltation of spirit. Any use which tends to cheapen It, and above all, .any use which tends to secure its being treated in a spirit of levity. Is from every standpoint pro foundly' to-be regretted. It Is a motto which, is indeed well to have inscribed 'on our great National monuments, in our temples of Justice, In our executive halls and in buildings such as those at West Point and Annapolis, in short, wherever it will tend to arouse and Inspire lofty emotion In those who look thereon. But It seems to me eminently unwise to cheapen a motto by use on coins such as it would be to cheapen it by use on noatan stamps, or in advertisements. "As regards Its use on the coinage, we have actual experience by which to go. In all my llfo I have never heard any human being speak reverently of this motto on the coins, but I have literally hundreds of times heard it used as an occasion of and incitement to the sneer ing ridicule which It Is, above all things, undesirable that so beautiful and exalt ed a phrase should excite. "For example, throughout the long con test extending over several decades on the free coinage question, the existence of this motto on the coins was a con stant source of jest and ridicule; and this was unavoidable. "Everyone must remember the Innu merable cartoons and articles based upon phrases like 'In God we trust for the g cents'; "In God we trust for the short weight' ;' 'In God we trust for the 37 cents we 'don't pay,' and so forth, and so forth. Surely, I am well within bounds, when I say that the use of a phrase which Invites constant levity of this kind Is undesirable. "If Congress alters the law and directs me to replace on the coins the sentence in question, it will be immediately put In to effect, but I trust that the sentiment of the country, the "spirit of reverence In the country, will prevent such action be ing taken. THEODORE ROOSEVELT." GAIN OF NATIONAL GRANGE Annual Convention at Hartford Hears Encouraging Report. HARTFORD. Conn., Nov. 13.

Police Secure Data on Railroad Service of Poland, Revealing the Possibility Mobilizing Troops. WARSAW, Nov. 13. The authorities of this city made several arrests today in connection with the discovery of a sensational plot for the sale and con veyance of a quantity of military docu ments to Germany. The Information upon which the arrests were made was furnished by Btate detectives. A total of 20 persona were taken Into custody. Among them were two trainmasters of the Warsaw-"Vistula Railroad line and their wives, who ..were apprehended at Alexandrov. The luggage of the trainmen was also seized. It consisted of several double-bottom valises containing the train schedules of the railroads of Po land, as well as eight plans setting forth the number, sire, speed and capacity of the trains and the hours of their arrival at the frontier. These documents laid bare the possibilities of concentrating Russian troops In Po land. Following the clues "thus obtained, the. police at once rounded up and ar rested all the members of a band of railroad and other officials who have been in the habit in the past of smug gling such information out of Poland Into Germany. The most important individual ar rested is thought to be M. Schlschow, comptroller of the printing plant of the general staff at Warsaw. This man has been engaged recently in ac tive negotiations for the sale of 20 original maps of various Russian fortifications. Northwestern " People in the East. CHICAGO. Nov. 13. (Special.)

Thomas Offered to Fight for South. RICHMOND. Va Nov. 13. Consider able interest has been aroused in Rich mond over the assertion that General U. S. Grant at one time offered his services to President Jefferson Davis, of the Con federacy. The Rev. Dr. J.

"There can be absolutely no doubt, how ever," continued Dr. Jones. "In the case of Thomas. I have published the matter time and time again, and will state most emphatically that I have in my personal possession a letter from General George H. Thomas, which admits that at the time of secession he applied for a com mission to enter the Confederate military service." GRY OF TRE CORPORATIONS MELLEN IiAYS UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS TO PREJUDICE.

Infers That It Is All Due to Prose cutions of Combines in Pessi mistic Speech. HARTFORD, Conn., Nov. 13. In ad dressing the members of the National Grange and their friends at a public meet ing tonight. President Charles S. Mellen, of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, Company, said: "The prejudice excited by demagogues and politicians against corporations has now reached a stage where others are suffering. The burden which has rested so long and heavily on corporations and those charged with their affairs is being distributed, and the community will soon have Its own troubles to worry about. "The losses In value, credit and fortunes in this country since the beginning of this year have been greater than occurred as a result of the Civil War. "This is not a rich man's panic; it Is a widespread distress, rapidly extending It self to the farthest sections of the coun try. Bven those who did not know the gun was loaded, whose only thought was sensation and popularity, are becoming sobered by the outlook." Survey Data lost In River. OTTAWA, Ont., Nov. 13.
