KREME | | Ishpeming (Mich.) | of state; THE FURNITURE MAN Opposite Postoffice BRINGS ARRAY OF WITNESSES Roosevelt at Marquette to’ Fight Charge of Editor. | ACCUSED OF INTEMPERANCE Newspaper De- clared the Colonel “Gets Drunk, and That Not infrequently, and Ali His Intimates Know It.” Marquette, Mich., May 27.—Theo- dore Roosevelt has arrived here to fight the charge that he is a drunkard. Accompanying Colonel Roosevelt were Robert Bacon, former secretary Truman H. Newberry, for- mer secretary of the navy, and Gifford Pinchot, James R. Garfield, Regis H. Post, former governor of Porto Rico; Dr. Alexander Lambert, Jacob A. Riis, Dr. Rixey, former surgeon gen- eral of the navy; Lawrence Abbott, W. Emlen Roosevelt and his son Philip, William Loeb, J. Gilson Gardner, L. A. Curtis, O. K. Davis, Frank Tyree, John Callon O’Loughlin and James Sloan. All of these are to be witnesses. Sloan and Tyree as secret service men accompanied Colonel Roosevelt on many of his campaign tours. His suit for $10,000 damages against George A. Newett of Ishpeming, own- er and editor of Iron Ore, a weekly mining paper, has begun in circuit court here. His attorneys say they are attacking not Newett alone, but through him all those who have whis- pered the story Newett printed—that “Roosevelt gets drunk, and that not infrenquently, and all his intimates know it.” The substance of the affidavits on which the bulk of Newett’s case will rest was collected in Ohio, along the route of Roosevelt's campaign trip last fall. Charges in Affidavits. The affidavits charge that in Athens. Bellefontaine, Jackson, Urbane and Martins Ferry, Roosevelt was assist- ed to the platform by attendants at each elbow and a third behind, that he exhibited symptoms of excitement and conducted himself generally in such a manner as to lead the witnesses to believe he was under the influence of liquor. Affidavits taken by Roosevelt's at- torneys, following in the trail of New- ett’s lawyer, and which the plaintiff will seek to introduce, say that for- mer President Taft, touring Ohio about the same time, also was assisted to the platform by attendants. They will seek to show it is customary to sup- port dignitaries to the platform. Personal testimony will be intro- duced, according to the attorneys, that | Roosevelt on the Ohio campaign tour tasted alcholic drink only once—a portion of a glass of champagne at the home of Dan R. Hanna at Ra- venna. The colonel also has affidavits from Dr. John B. Murphy, noted Chicago surgeon, and Dr. Arthur D. Bevin, both of whom treated him after he was shot in Milwaukee, and who de- clare a thorough examination dis- | closed no alcoholic taint in him.

Philadelphia, May 27.—Paving the way for further Sherman law prose- cuaions the “anthracite coal trust” was given a body blow by the United States district court here. A decree was entered in strict ac- cordance with the recent supreme court decision perpetually enjoining the great anthracite coal carrying roads and mining companies from monopolizing trade under the 80 called “65 per cent contracts.” The decree dismisses the anti- trust prosecution brought by the gov- ernment in 1910 against a dozen rail- roads and coal companies, except to find that the 65 per cent contracts are in violation of the Sherman law. This finding was made by the su- preme court last winter.
