IL Karle, jr., of Philadelphia, for in
formation as to the former presi
dent's action when he urged that the
head of the sugar trust be prosecut
ed for wrecking n real estate com
pany. Karle said he did not believe that
Roosevelt had carried out his oath of
office in that he did not see that the
law was enforced against the heads
of the sugar trust. He declared
Roosevelt had left the mutter to his
attorney general and mlded:
''The evidence in the case was ex

I shall continue to criticUe Roosevelt

he did his full duty. 1 did criticise
