CRIMINAL LIBEL,
SAYS ROOSEVELT
Will Reach Traducers,
if Possible.
SHAMEFUL FALSEHOODS TOLD
No Cause for Breath of Scan
dal About Canal.
PROUD OF HIS CONNECTION
President Delivers Himself neated
ly In Address to Deep Waterway
Delegation and Indorses '
Lakes-to-Gulf Scheme.
WASHINGTON. Dec. JO. "If they can
be reached for criminal libel, I shall try
to have them reached," said President
Roosevelt In speaking- about "thosa
Americana who have been guilty of In
famous falsehood concerning the acqui
sition of the. "property and the construc
tion of the Panama Canal Itself."
It was to the committee of 100 of ths
I-akes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway Asso
ciation, headed by Governor Deneen, of
Illinois, received by the President In the
east room of the White, House, that ho
made this declaration. Mr. Deneen had
presented a copy of the resolutions
adopted by the association and made a
few remark, to which the President re
plied as follows:
Sue Slanderers for Libel.
"I have felt, as the Governor has so
well put it, that no more Important serv
ice could be rendered to this country
than the building of the Panama Canal
between the Atlantic and Pacific, and
one thin? I am proud of In connection '
lth the building of that canal Is that
there has not been legitimate cause for
the breath of scandal connected with
any feature of the proceedings.
"We have cause to be ashamed of only
one set of Americans, who have been
guilty of Infamous falsehood concerning
tile acquisition of the property and the
construction of the canal Itself. If they
, can be reached for criminal libel, I shall
try to have them reached. If not, at
any rate all the facta we know or ever
have known are at the disposal of each
and every one of you here and any one
In Congress or out of Congress, If they
,'wlsh to see them.
' Dig Ikes-to-Gulf Waterway.
"Next only in importance, from the
' physical standpoint, to building the Pan
? a ma Canal comes the question of de
veloplng the use of our own' waterways.
That must be done by the policy of Irri
gation at the headwaters up In the arid
regions: and where you come from, gentlemen-
It is to be done by making our
seacoast take a big loop in from the
Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes, and
we will see that that work is done just
as honestly. Just as efficiently as the
Panama Canal work has been done, and
no work could have been done from be
ginning to end more honestly or more
efficiently."
WAIL STREET HATES HIM
Roosevelt Says That Every Lion Is
Expected to Do Duty.
ATLANTA, Ga.. Dec. 10. In a Wash
- ington special printed this morning in
the Constitution, President Roosevelt Is
quoted as asserting that Wall street hates
him.
Wlien I go to Africa." said the Presi
dent in talking to a party of Georgians
who called upon him yesterday, "Wall
street expects every lion to do ms auiy.
Wall street hates me with- fervid sin
cerity, not because of any general de
nunciation of railroads and corporations,
l.ut hmu I have done things since."
The President is quoted as saying that
lie does not plead for a centralized gov
ernment, but for recognition of the poweV
already vested In the National Govern
ment, adding:
"If Congress will give me and when I
sav me I mean -the President, the Na
tional administration, the power to secure
a thorough supervision of the fltiancta1,
affairs of railroads, to regulate the issu
ance of stfick, to prevent stock watering
and to Insure publicity of all their af
fairs, with a due regard to legitimate
tde secrets. It would settle the whole
corporation question."
Urging the necessity of permitting rea
sonable combinations of capital, the
President Is quoted furthec as saying:
If you suould dam up the Mississippi
River you would cause a flood and ac
complish nothing thereby, but you can
guide and restrain this immense water
force by means of levees."
President Vrges Panama Trip.
WASHINGTON". Dec. 10. President
Roosevelt has strongly urged members

for Insult.
ABOUT SECRET SERVICE MEN
Restriction Adopted Because
Members Watched.
PRESIDENT IS GLEEFUL
Enjoys Commotion, Saying Galled
Jade Winces: Both Houses May
Expunge Offensive Passage in
Message From Kecord. . .
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. (Special.) -Congress,
which feels that it has been
insulted and outraged by .President
Roosevelt, is preparing to .vindicate Its
honor by censuring the President for
saying in his annual message that the
members voted -to prevent the usual de
tail of Secret Service men because they
dreaded anything like Investigation " of
themselves. Both branches of Congress
are up In arms and the leaders are hav
ing difficulty in restraining the angry
hotheads from making some petulant
break.
Both Houses Will Act.
Senators propose that "by resolution
the objectionable statement of the Pres
ident shall be expunged from the record.
This would be'an extraordinary proceed
ing, but Senators think it la Justified by
the character of the imputation carried
by the President's words. There may be
some discussion of the resolution, and In
that case it is expected the President
will come in. for a sound rhetorical cas
tlgatlon. In the House it is proposed to have a
special committee appointed' by the
Speaker to consider the alleged affront
offered by' the President and to pre
pare a suitable resolution ' covering the
case. Of this committee it a under
stood that Chairman Tawney, of the
appropriations committee, will be the
chairman, and this la fitting, because it
waa Mr. Tawney who put through the
offensive provision last session which
restricted the President's freedom of con
trol of Secret Service officers and brought
forth the so-called Insult to Congress.
Members Shadowed in Capital.
At that time members of Congress salt!
that by some one's order Secret Service
officers had been shadowing Senators
and Representatives, even going so far
as to inquire into the social and prtvato
lives of the statesmen. This- was savage
ly resented and the House adopted
provision designed to put a stop to such
practices and the Senate concurred.
Mr. Roosevelt appears to be greatly en-
Joying the commotion his message has
created and Is not worrying about the
programme of the Senators to censure

Warm Praise All Demonstra

SAN FRANCISCO. Dee. 10. Abraham
Ruef, former political boss of San Fran

ations of the Jury had been prolonged
throughout a period of 24 hours. The
warnings of Judge. William P. Lawlor
and the vigilance of the police checked
all attempted demonstrations, although
the excitement in the courtroom was so
intense that men were thrust down Into
their seats or seized in the grasp of
detectives as they arose to obtain a
better view of the proceedings.

106 days, ended with surprising quickness.

from the chamber of Carpenters' Hall.

risen with every hour of the delay, and
the adherents of the prosecution were
proportionately discouraged.
Eager Crowd Receives Verdict.

have clung about the courtroom during
the closing days of the trial retained
their seats in the chamber or stood pa

trance, while a. strong detail of police
watched vigilantly for the. first sign of
disorder inside and patrolled every ap
proach to the hall.
A few moments before 4 o'clock there
was a stir of Interest as Judge Lawlor
left his chambers and assumed his seat
upon the bench. Men and women rushed
to secure the vacant places in the court
room or thronged about the entrance. A
bailiff rapped for order, and an intense
stillness prevailed in the chamber, with
its empty galleries and its crowded lower
floor. From within there came the tramp
of the 12 men as they descended the
stairway. Just before the door opened
to permit their entry tho stillness was
broken by the voice of Judge Lawlor.
who assured the gathering that any
demonstration attempted would be visited
with punishment of the most serious
character. v
The jurymen had scarcely assumed
their seats in the box before the brief
proceedings were at an end. The judge

NORMAL GIRLS UP IN ARMS
Student Rebellion Threatens to In

embrace each other In the hallways of the
building without being severely rebuked,

are in a furore of indignation and are
threatening to take their woes before a
faculty meeting and demand greater priv
ileges. The spirit of revolt which has been
brewing among'them for some. time has
finally broken out openly, and they
threaten to withdraw from school If the
regulations are not made less stringent.
A faction among the faculty members,
mostly young men teachers. Is encourag
ing the rebels and secretly fighting what
they characterise as the "czarism" of Dr.
B. T. Mathis, the principal. The fact that
two of the younger women teachers who
attended a student dance frowned upon
by Mathis, were called upon the carpet
and told that they were "disgraced," has
not added to the good feeling, and a first
class faculty row Is threatened.
"The Normal has become a training
school for old maids," said one of the
girls In an Interview today, and this sen
timent Is echoed by teachers in inter
views given out.

of Party Pledge.
MEETS HOUSE COMMITTEE
Says Inquiry Is Thorough and Dif
ference 'in Cost of Production
at Home and Abroad
Will Be Learned.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 10,-Wtlliam H.
Taft said tonight that It was his belief
that the House would make an "honest
and thorough revision of the tariff" at
the extra session which he will call for
that purpose. This belief he bases on
a conference he had yesterday with
Speaker Cannon and on a session today
with the Republican members of the ways
and means committee.
Mr. Taft said he had not as yet con
sulted Senators on the subject. Indicating
the tremendous pressure upon his time
as the reason.
When the suggestion was made that
the Senate would undoubtedly have some
thing to do with the tariff bill, he replied
with no uncertainty In his demeanor that
there was some one else who would have
something to do -with the bill, which, In
terpreted through the medium of previous
utterances, Indicates clearly that Mr.
Taft is determined, even to the exercise
of the veto power, to execute the party's
pledges.
Cannon for Honest Revision.
Mr. Taft dictated a statement which
covered his interview late today with
the Republican members of the commit
tee with the exception of Representa
tives McCall, of Massachusetts, and
Crumpacker, of Indiana. With the lat
ter Mr. Tuft had a satisfactory Inter- .'
view at Hot Springs.
He was asked the substance of the
Interview he had yesterday with the
Speaker. His reply was that Mr. Cannon
had said thaf he was in favor of an
honest and thorough revision of the
tariff In accordance with the party
promises.
Find Difference in Com.
"I had an interview with Mr. Cannon,"
said Mr. Taft. "and with his concurrence
and,, at the suggestion of a member of
the ways and means committee, with th?
Republican members of that committee
this afternoon. ' From my conversation,
with them and the discussion that fol

that they are keenly alive to the obliga
