Booth, ROOSEVELT CALLS CM PAYMENT MERE BLACKMAIL NKW ORLEANS. Sent. S. Colpncl Thcodoro Hooseveit delivered a nub lie address In tho opera bouse horo last night, In which ho urged that "thin Rovcrnmcnt, Instead of paying 125,000,000 blackmail to alien wrong doors anil their holrs," as proposed In tho dispute xvllh Colombia over the Panama canal property, should "use 1 that $25,000,000 on tho plant ot tho Tanania canal, and as many scores ot millions extra as arc necessary, to take control of tho Mississippi and to "develop all Its possibilities of useful- ness from tho headwaters to tho del ta." Talk im Flood Problem. Colonel Roosevelt mado a partic ular point ot tbo flood problem, which ho said must bo met not only by levees, but great storaso reser voirs up-stream, which would nov only stop tho floods, but servo well for irrigation purposes. Ho remind cd his hearers that ho had teen an advocate of federal control ot the river for a long time, "t Insisted upon It when 1 was prealJent," lw said, "but neither of tho old partlcj adopted It. It Is only tho Progres sive party that has seen tbo need o such a far-reaching constructive pol icy." Ho spolec warmly of tho Progres sives In Louisiana. There wero no other members of tbo party, ho sajd. who moro emphatically deserved well of the party than tho Progressives ot I.oulslana. Ho spoko pt the old Re publican party as having a "deliberate purpose to become tho bulwark of fiourbon antagonism to advance throughout tho nation," and said U17 Democrat were "wedded to outwore principles of government and dead and burled economic theories." Btrak for Xctr Party. Tho day was Labor day, which led him to discuss tho Industrial and econmlc situation. "Both the oil parties aro wedded to their idol. Tho Republican party by ovcry action U4ias taken during tho past two years has made it evident that it intends to see that tho rank and file are shack led and aro put under the control 01 (great bosses of tho stamp of Mr. Barnes and Mr. Penrose. On tho other hand, tho Democratic party which has possessed absolute power In Washington Tor the last two years has shown not the faintest symptoms ot a real understanding ot the needs of the people. It has done nothing whatever for labor and its ac tion on the trusts and the tariff has shown that it is not fit to run the government. With tho trusts that they havo adopted tho policy of firing 'so ns to hit It If It is a bear and to miss It if It is a calf.' " He told hi audience that people of Louisiana were among those hardest hit by "the backward and reactionary policy" which tho government boa adopted as regards tho tariff. He asserted that the promlso to break up tho trusts and reduce the living cost had not been realised, Ho took up in de tail the matter of sugar with which Lo'ulilana Is closely identified. The removal of duty job this commodity, he said, had been a big contributing cause to the present high prices tor sugar, not only seriously affecting tne sugar Industry, but causing damage upon the wholo public. Tjr)ff Commltfop, .f'aerwany's great econmlc devel opment during the forty-tbroo years preceding this lanjentable war," ho said, "had biw duo largely to tho In telligent use of a tariff commission. The Progressive proposal along this line, he hold to bo the only real hopo for good business from the stand point of all. Ho painted to tho disturbed bu6l- nose conditions lu thfa country today which emphasized tho need of a gov eminent commission with power to tell business men from the boglnuing what was right for them to do and what, was wrong. In Now York, ho said tho small provision doalors had been anxious lq couio together for 'consultation ns to how 'to handle flour during these war times, in or dw that Jr people might obtain it as at little added expense as possible Buck, decisions as that in the harves.

After months of deliberation, Mr. Booth has issued a 10,000-word explanation of how he got the wealth that constitutes his qualification for public office. "Mho story ot my hie" is t he prosaic recital of tho ...!! ... l . ...1l . 1 II. . most of opportunity, constant lv adding to savings, invest ing wisely and enlarging the field of operations as wealth accumulated the taleol the village uoekeieller. Mr. Booth in explaining how the Booth-Kelly Lumber company acquired its vast timber holdings, denies that property was secured by fraud or that he as manager was party to any fraudulent transactions. A case, however, is pending in the federal supreme court which flatly contra dicts MV. Booth's assertions. Sui.t was brought to cancel five land patents to tfinber land owned by the Booth-Kelly company on the ground that they had been obtained by "fraud. The federal circuit court of appeals held that the timber lands had been fraud ulently secured, and ordered the patents cancelled. The entries wero made by Ethel LaRaut and Lucv La- Rant, sisters-in-law of Mr. Booth; Stephen LaRaut, Booth's brother-in-law; LaRaut's wife, Alice LaRaut, and Edward Jordan, an employe of the Booth-Kelly company, who confessed that lie Jiad made the filing upon an un derstanding that the company would- pay filing expenses and pay him a bonus 01 $100 for turningover the land. Mr. Booth asserts that he was actuated by the com mendable purpose of nidihg poor relations and that the transactions wore within the law. The following are Mr. Booth's assertions and the findings of the federal court of appeals: .MR. ItOOTII'S STATKMKNT. SWALL VOTE CAST ARIZONA WASHINGTON PRINARIES UOPN STATE TICKET SKATTLK, Wn Sept.

"After final proof, deeds wer made to me which I held ns security for my guaranty. After tho lands wero patented, these deeds were returned and others taken In favor of our com pany, tho books showing every Item of cost In detail without any attempt of concealment.

"In short, there It nothlnc in tlir. books of the company to show that any or tlio ua Hants owed tho lumper company or R. A.

Ilooth guaran teed tho repayment to the lumber company of tbo moneys which It had so advanced." Federal Judge Gilbert, in his decision, cancelled the claims as fraudulent because the entrymen never saw the timber claims after making their entries; never attempted to dispose of 'the claims, although aware of the value of the timber; paid no part of the expenses of filing upon the claims; paid no taxes on the claims; that the Booth-Kelly Lumber company paid all the expenses of the entries and all taxes and charged these expenses and taxes to itself and not to the entrymen. Mr. Booth's explanation of where he got it does not square with the iacts in the case as presented by the United States court of appeals, which has clearly set forth the process wherein' Mr. Booth got some of it.
