NEWETT CONVINCED HE WAS MISTAKEN Does Not Believe Roosevelt Got In- toxicated—Colonel Wins Suit. Marquette, Mich., June 1—Theodore Roosevelt won his libel suit yesterday against George A. Newett, who charged the colone! with drunkenness. The colonel having waived damages after the defendant had uttered a re- traction, the jury awarded the nom- inal charge of &ix cents provided in such cases by the laws of Michigan. Each party in the suit will have to pay his own expenses. Judge Flinnigan instructeq the jury to bring in a verdict for the plaintiff, which the jurors did without leaving their seats. When the publisher who had said Colonel Roosevelt “gefs drunk, and not infrequently, as all his intimates know,” had recifed that he had depo- sitions from forty “reliable witnesses” ta show that the charge was true, but that nevertheless, he belleved after listening to the plaintif’s witnesses that he had done Colonel Roosevelt an injustice, and therewith retracted his charge of intoxication, the ex-presi- dent arose and addressed the court as follow: “Your honor, in view of the state- ment of the defendant, I ask the court to instruct the jury that I desire only nominal damages. I did not go Into this case for money. I did not go into it for any vindictive purpose. “I went into it and, as the court sald, I made my reputation an issue because I wished once for all during my lifetime thoroughly and compre- hensively to deal with these slanders so that never again will it be possible for any man in good faith to repeat them. "I have have achieved my pur- pose and I am content.” Publisher Newett, in his statement, said: “T have been profoundly im- pressed during the progress of this trial by the nature and extent of the evidence produced by the plaintiff to the effect that he did not, in fact, | use liquor to excess on any occasion. “I am unwilling to believe that these eminent men would purposely misstate the facts, or that under the circum- stances related by them and their in- timate acquaintance with the plaintiff for so many years, they could be mis- taken as to his habits. “I therefore have been forced to be- lieve that those who have given depo- sitions or made the statement that in their opinion, on occasions to which they refer, Mr. Roosevelt was intox- icaied had insufficient means and op- portunity of observing him correctly and were misiaken. “Up to the time of this trial I had believed that the statements made in articles which I publisheq were But in the face of the unqualified testimony of so many distinguished men, who have been in position for years to know the truth, I am forced to the opinion that I was mistaken.” | AN EPISCOPAL BISHOP TRAVELS IN STEERAGE.

The pope this morning received in farewell audience Cardinal William H. O’Connell, archbishop of Boston, who is leaving for home on Wednesday. When the cardinal entered the pri- vate library, the pope met him half way, saying: “I am sorry you are going, sorry.” The pontiff, notwithstanding hours' hard work which he had al ready accomplished, besides the fa- tiguing receptions of late, appeared as strong and altered as when Cardinal O'Connell saw him on May 21. They conversed at length on many import- ant ecclesiastical questions. The pope inquired regarding the missionary con- gress which is to meet at Boston In October, saying that he understood it woulg be attended by about sixty bishops from the United States and Canada. He wished the congress ev- ery success. Inquiry for Cardinal’s Friends. When the audience was about to end, the pope, recalling the fact that when he received Cardinal O'Connell on the previous occasion the cardinal's companions,! Mgr. Michael J. Splaine, of the archdiocese of Boston, and Dr. J. R, Slattery, superintendent of St. very three Blizabeth’s hospital, Boston, remained | in the ante-room, foregoing the honor of being received by the pope because they were not in regulation attire, asked: “Where are your friends?” The cardinal replied: “In_the ante-chaml “I hope,” satd the pope laughingly, “that this time they are suitably cos- tumed to appear before me. Two Americans Received, Receiving an affirmative answer, the pope requested that Mer. Splaine and Dr. Slasiery. be presented. - He rec- ognized the former immediatel and congratulated him upon his fluent Italian, Mgr. Splaine having learned the language while he was a student of the American college in Rome when Cardinal O'Connell was rector. After giving him his hand to kiss, the pope kept Dr. Slattery’s hand in his, ‘saving: pray that your mis- sion as a Christian physician will bear blesseq fruits. Afterwards the pontiff blessed St. Elizabeth’s hospital and the work of the Franciscan Sisters-there and also the doctors and nurses. Dr. Slattery Impressed Condition. Dr. Slattery was the first physician of any nationality received by the pope since his illness, with the ex- ception of his personal attendants. The moment he was outside the aud- ifence room, Dr. Slattery was sur- rounded by officials of the Vatican and others, all of whom were anxious to learn of the impression he had re- In describing that impres- sion, Dr. Slattery said: “No doctor could fail to note that tho pope has robust and healthy fibre. 1 could tell from the grasp of his hand and the vivacity of his eves that there remains plenty of life, that the pontiff has many years to live. While hold- ing my hand I felt it as in a vise. The by Pope’s Holy Father does not look in the least like a man who has been seriously . I could see by his gemeral ap- pearance and the color of his skin that his circulation is excellent.” JOY RIDE HAS A DISASTROUS END.

FIFTEEN PASSENGERS All But One Escaped Injury—Provi- dence Local Strikes Third Car of Express and Plows Into the Fourth. Boston, June 1.—A score of passen- gers in two Pullman cars of a New York bound train on the New York.

The car “Caryville,” which followed the derailed car, was dented on one side by the impact of the locomotive, but none of its 12 passengers was hurt. Cause Not Given Out. The cause of the collision given out. was not HEAVY EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES. In April 43,000 People Sailed from Two German Ports. Berlin, June 1—Emigration from Hemburg and Bremen is heavier than it has been in years. During April more than 43,000 persons left for the United States from these two ports alone. This was nearly double the number that left in April, 1912—seven -six per cent. more, to be exact. Not nce the tida! wave of emigration in 1907 has the exodus been So great. Two causes are assigned for the ac- tive emigration. First, political un- certainty and rumblings of war from the kans (echoed throughout East ern Europe for months) have caused the less warlike to long for home where peace appears to be more stable. The volume of emigration swelled from Russia and Austria, too. in the face of everv discouragement the gov- ernments could place in the way of their subjects. Many persons were called to take up arms temporarily in both countries. and in Russia dire:t obstacles were placed in the path of would-be emigrants. The second cause is the prevailing low steerage rate to Canada. This is the outgrowth of a rate war among several steamship companies. The fare has been shaved down to less than $20, thus making it possible for anybody to go. MEXICO NEGOTIATES LOAN OF $100,000,000. $75,000,000 of It for Government and $27,000,000 for Railways.

THE LONDON POLICE IN LEAGUE WITH THIEVES Observing Newsboy Brings AbeutSen- sational Disclosures. London, June 1—A newsboy saw a man scale a stone wall the other day. From this trivial circumstance have resulted. disclosures of an alliance be- tween certain uniformed members of the London police force and thieves and highwaymen under which the po- lice have not only aided the thieves, but actually turneqg thieves themslves in their hours off duty. Almost every London householder has been in the habit of calling up the po- lice department on the eve of his va- cation to ask him to guard his unoc- cupied hoome. Comsequently, the de- partment has an enormous list of un- occupied houses. The numbers of these houses are given the members of the force with instructions to watch for burglars. Recently there has been an epidemic of burglaries in the outlying resfdent- ial gection of the city. Practically all the looted houses were homes of per- sons away on vacation who had noti- fled the department of their plans. Very few of the burglars have been caught; in fact the patrolmen on the beat where the burglaries occurred in- variably reported that they had seen no suspecteq characters in the neigh- borhood. To make the problem still more difficult the burglaries were sel- dom giscovered until weeks afterwards when the owners returned home. A newsboy, delivering his papers in the thief-ridden section of the suburbs saw a man climb over the wall of a large garden surrounding a manslon that sits back well from the roadway. He had read of the burglaries; his suspicions were aroused and he sum- moneq the nearest policeman, having telephoned #dready to the precinct sta- tlon. Within a few minutes a cordon of bobbles and detectives closed abous the mansion. Three burglars were captured, reds handed; one escaped by climbing thea wall and running. Of the trio cap- tured two were found to be policemen:| one of them, indeed, the man who did police duty eight hours a day on the beat where the mansion was located The newsboy glimpsed the escapinz burglar and asserted that he, too, was a policeman. The third prisoner was a notorfous thief. Since the arrest of the burglar po- liceman an investigation has revealed that the case is by no means excep- tional, and that the, immunity from arrest enjoyed by many London burg- Jars is due to a widespread aillianee with the police. Reluctantly, the Lon- doner is abandoning the old custom of notifying the police when he ex- pects to take a vavcation. Instead, is adopting the American habit of joining with his neighbors in em- ploylng a watchman. The first In struetions given the watchman are te watch the police. Tt hag not yet been necessary to em- ploy some one to watch the watchman. When that time comes, It is not un- Ukely that the Londoner will dispense With' his vacation altogether.
