Will It'oiittnuc In Secret.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Dec. 5. (Special.)
Breaking his nil. nrc for the first time
einee his resignation from the Supreme
Court bench of the State of Washington,
former Justice Milo A. Root toiiay stated
tliat the troubles with which he has be
come Involved and which led to his resig
nation, were brought about through trust
ing a friend whom he had known for
20 years or more.
"But let ne say firit," said Mr. Root.
"I am not corrupt. I did not receive a
BinKle penny. I did not ask for a cent
and what has been done has been done
honestly and above-board. I do not care
to fay that Jude Gordon took my loners
to the Great Northern Railway and capi
talized them for any amount. All I know
about that is what friends of mine have
told me."
Broken in Spirit and Fortune.
Judge Root Is a broken-hearted man.
Not only that, but he is sick and almost
penniless.
"I don't want to talk about this case,"
he said. "The Bar Association is now
Investigating and it Is not a matter that
I should talk about. I will be vindicated.
I have no doubt. I have done nothing
dishonest and if I had received the thou
sands of dollars which it Iw claimed I have
received, there Certainly should be some
evidence of It here."
Judge Root called attention to his sur
roundings, pointed to the furniture in'
liis house, and said:
I'sed Salary to Fay Debts.
"This furniture you see about the
house. Is not fully paid for. I am paying
for it now on the installment plan and
even as I am for my home. I have lived
economically and have attempted to pay
off debts that I incurred during the crash
In 1S93. Every month I have laid aside
at least $25 for this purpose and some
times I have laid aside $100. Last week
when I received my last salary warrant
from the state, I took part of that to
pay off old debts, knowing that it was the
last cent I could reasonably hope to se
cure for some time. Not only that, but
I have been forced to sell part of my
law library to meet expenses."
Lives lu Humble Quarter of City.
Judge Root's friends say he feels more
keenly than anyone imagines the fate
that lias befallen him. One of the'young
est members of the Washington State
Supreme Court, he is now prematurely
dged and his voice chokes with emotion
es he unfolds the reasons for resigning
from tue bench.
'judge Root lives in a neighborhood
wtiere there are more workingmen's
homes than there are fashionable resi
dences. Even the street in front of
his bouse is not graded. From the car
line occupying almost an hour from the
center of Seattle to his home, his resi
dence is reached over a muddy trail and
broken planks. There Is no evidence of
luxury at his home. His house is fur
nished more like a provident laboring
man's home than that of a man who is
accused of having received thousands of
dollars from corporations for favorable
decisions
Denies Gordon Wrote Decision.
;It la untrue that Judge Gordon wrote
the decision In the Harris vs. Great
Northern decision, which has been at
tributed to him," declared Judge Root.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5. (Special.) Of
ficial announcement has 6een made that
the Florida East Coast Railway will
now be rushed to completion -within a

been hurried to the work and more are
rapidly being employed for this, the

FIGHT ON CANNON DROPPED
Taft Will Withhold Programme Till
Inaugurated House Rules May
Be Changed Semite to Vote
on Postal Savings Banks.
WASHINGTON. Dec. (Special.)
Indications are that the COth Congress,
which assembles in its second session
on Monday, will bp disposed to pass
little legislation before the inaugura
tion of Wiliiam H. Taft on March 4
and that Mr. Taft, himself pledged to
carry on the Roosevelt policies, will
be practically compelled, for fear of
enibanasing President Roosevelt. to
withhold his own programme until he
becomes President himself. In the
meantime Mr. Roosevelt Is expected
to thunder against Congress in the
hope that he may be able to force
through some of the legislation which
he lias repeatedly recommended.
May Even l'l Old Scores.
Upon the eve of the last Roosevelt
sess'ion the atmosphere is surcharged
with possibilities which may chnnge
the situation, involving Mr. Roosevelt,
Mr. Taft and Congress itself, including
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, of the
House of Representatives. Theie is a
bare possibility that there may be an
attempt on the part of certain legis
lators to even up old scores with Mr.
Roosevelt before his retirement on
March 4.
In the meantime Mr. Taft will be busy
Cabinet-making. Mr. Taft has declared
that he will not take up thin matter
seriously before February.
Forakcr Will Unburden Soul.
The postal savings .bank legislation,
in which the Administration is deeply
interested and to which the Republican
party is pledged, comes up in the Senate
for a vote on December 14.
Two days later the Senate must vote
on the Brownsville question, a contro
versy which has developed considerable
acrimony between the White House and
Capitol Hill. Incidentally, it is Senator
Foraker of Ohio who Ls the main oppon
ent of the President on this question. He
proposes before adjournment to deliver
himself of a speech on the subject of
the Hearst charges in the campaign and
pay his respects to the President at the
same time. If both of these matters pre
cipitate a controversy, legislation is apt
to be lost sight of. In the opinion of leg
islators. Not Fight Cannon but Change Rule
There is no question that the so-called
Taft fight against the re-election of
Spsaker Cannon has been Indefinitely
postponed, if not abandoned altogether.
The only way Mr. Taft can oust Mr.
Cannon is to make an open attack on the
leader of the House, which is a co-ordinate
branch of the Government a pro
cedure of doubtful policy. It is admitted
that the defeat of Mr. Cannon might
make a nasty situation in the Housi
through the first two years of the Taft
administration and might defeat its legis
lative purposes.
Already a large majority of Representa
tives are pledged to support Mr. Cannon
for re-election, many of whom are, at
the same time, ready to join with their
colleagues to revise the obnoxious rules
under which the Speaker now dominates
that body. This, it is believed generally,
will be the ultimate solution of the diffi
culty which led to unofficial talk of Taft
opposition to the re-election of the
Speaker.

Bankrupted by Friend's Crime and
Suicide. After Losing Family by
Fire and Health by Shock.
CHICAGO, Dec. 5. (Special.) After
signing a draft for J29.00O at the Great
Northern Hotel today and sending jt to
New York to account for the loss
brought upon him by the defalcation of
a friend. C. Smith Williams, formerly
one of New York's most prominent
criminal lawyers, -vas left with only $3
as the remnant of a fortune of nearly
$1,000,000 he had a year ago.
The news of his friend's misapplica
tion of the funds and the subsequent
suicide came as a finale of a most re
markable scries of misfortunes. Will
iams accepts his reverses . philosoph
ically and admits all essential details.
ith. his wife and two children
burned to death in their home, his own
healh shattered by the shock, his law
practice reduced almost to nothing as
the result of disasters, and his fortune
squandered heedlessly In traveling to
find diversion from his grief, Williams
had nothing left him but his share of
his law firm's profits the last year he
was in New York.

on Cabinet ministers as the quickest

through a fierce demonstration by the
.suffragcitt s at Albert Hall against David
Lloyd-George, Chancellor of the iix
chaquer. t
The Chancellor vas addressing a suf
frage meeting under the auspices' of the
Women's Liberal Association. He had
hardly got beyond announcing that he
was present to make known the govern
ment's intention regarding ' the problem
of woman suffrage, when a great uproar
broke-out. Strident voices from all parts
of the hall shrieked, "We want deeds,
not words."
Chained to Seats', Women Fight.
The .stewards of the hall and there
were 350 on hand to deal with the anti
cipated disturbance at once moved down
the aisles to eject the women. They
found the latter chained to their seats.
There was a confused struggle, but rin
uily the chains were cut and the suf
fragettes expelled.
I3ut the numbers of the disorderly
seemed to increase rather than diminish.
Some of the women were armed with
whips and they repelled vigorously every
attempt to eject them. There were tierce
tussels every few moments in different
parts of the hall and every time Mr.
Lloyd-George made an attempt to speak
his voice was drowned by mingled groans
and cheers. Finally the Chancellor, who
for a quarter of an hour had been trying
to get in a word, eat down, and the or
ganist tried to Boothe the hysterical sis
terhood by playing "What Can the Mat
ter Be." but it was of no use, and pan
demonium continued.
Prison Garb Causes I'jironr.
The uproar was at its height when a
doz?n suffragettes who had been released
recently from prison, divested themselves
of their outer wraps and appeared in
their jail garments. These clothes were
liberally stamped with broad arrows.
This exhibition acted on the ' sisterhood
like a red rag on a hull. Megaphones and
bells were brought into use and the noise
bocame deafening. The stewardt; at
length lost their tempers and, as they
continued their work of throwing out the
demonestrants. the clothing of many of
the women was torn off their backs.
Promises Suffrage to Women.
At the end of half an hour of more
the opposition became worn out and M.
Lloyd-George was able to continue his
speech with only occasional interruption.
He assured hie audience, which numbered
8000, that there was a majority in the
Cabinet and in the Liberal party in favor
of woman's suffrage and that a suffrage
clause would be included in the govern
ment's franchise bill, which, however,
could not Tie introduced until the eve of
the dissolution of Parliament. The Chan
cellor added that the time of dissolution
had not yet arrived, though the end of
this Parliament was not so distant as

ROM E, Dec. 5. (Special.) "That
these millionaire Americans, who are
called kings of cotton, of lead, of rail
ways, of oil and heaven knows what
besides, take themselves seriously and
divide their government Willi their
snobbism into departments, with their
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Home Af

of laughter to Europeans who visit the

courtship, which has been copied
and applauded by the whole Italian
press.
"But for heaven's sake, do not lot
them come over to act the sovereign in

more so because they believe their,
money enables them to do as they like,
and that their millions give them the
right to treat as an equal each and

"It is not known positively yet whether
the Duke of Abruzzi and Miss Elkins
will marry or not. But if they do and
if Miss Elkins should take the rank of
Princess, she must certainly . abandon
forever any idea of returning to Amer
ica, even for a short visit.
"And the Elkins family must renounce
the right ef coming to. Italy, or, ut any
rate, to that part of it where the court
resides. Otherwise, they place not only
themselves but others in an embar
rassing position. For it certainly .would
not be pleasing to Italians to have a
royal Princess discussed in the journals
nor to lvad telegraphic messages of the
kind tliat were flying about some mouths

"The Elkins family (which does not

"Supposing the marriage lak-s place, it
