R OYSTER BAY, Sept. 14 — President Roosevelt to-day approved of the issu- ! ance of a formal statement of the facts | concerning the BSeawanhaka Corinthian | Yacht Club dinner incident, which has created so much unpleasant comment. Colgate Hoyt, chairman of the board of | | trusteés of the yacht club, visited Oyster | | Bay this afternoon and had a conference 1 with the President for half an hour. | President Roosevelt expressed regret that | any published statement of the dinner in- | cident should have placed him in-a false | 1 attitude, and, with a view to relieving Sir | | Thomas Lipton of embarrassment because of the statements that he had treated him | with discourtesy, he authorized Hoyt to make a plain statement of the episode. | This evening Hoyt prepared and mueq the following: There has been so much ml-undenundml over the proposed annual dinner of the Sea- wanhaka Yacht Club that I feel it my duty as chairman of the board of trustees to state the the President was Invited | rstanding that it was not to be a rmal function but simply the annual uet of the club, for its members and guests. Sir Thomas Lipton's name was not mentioned, that of any other gentleman in my in- erview, and to assure the public that noth- ing was further from thé President’'s thoughts than to bar Sir Thomas Lipton or any one eise from the dinner, I take pleasure in giving 10 the press the following letter, which I have just_received from Secretary Loeb: My Dear Mr. Hoyt: The President directs me to say that it will be a particular pleasure to him if Sir Thomas Lipton can come to the Seawanhaka dinner. As you will recall, all that the President sald when the invitation was extended to him was that he did not feel like accepting any more jnvitations to formal functions; that if it was simply to be a neigh- borly dinner among his own friends in the wanhaka Club he would gladly come. The kas a particularly high regard to Lipton, and a high appreciation of the manly and sportsmarlike epirit he has shown throughout the yacht contests, The President earnestly desires that Sir Thomas be present at the dinner. Yours very truly, i “WILLIAM LOE® JR. | “‘Secretary to the President.’” | BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept. 14.—Sir Thomas Lipton passed through Buffalo to-day en | | route to Chicago and was sufficiently re- covered to see newspaper men. He was questioned regarding the idvitation he was alleged to Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club. “I do not remember having received any itation, writen or verbal” said he. ou say it was the Seawanhaka Club? . I am a rgember of that club. And you say Secretary Stewart is alleged to have invited me? Why, I don’t remember anything about it. I could not have at- tended the dinner any way, for the reason that I am going to Chicago, where I have many friends, and where I intend to re- main until Monday, consequently I could not possibly attend that dinner on the 18th.” ' i 8ir Thomas added that his {llness did | not amount to much.

LONDON, Sept. 14—Mrs. Alice Gordon Guiclk, president of the International In- stitute for Girls in Spain, died in London to-night.

L e o e e o e ] ] Coney had never obeyed the instructions of President Diaz to report to the latter, but had quietly left the city by some route unknown to his friends and eventu- | ally reached New York, where he was afterward seen by several persons of this city who happened to be in the East. By this time stories to the effect that Coney had failed to gccount for more than $15,000 handled by him during the last few years of his official career in this city were freely discussed in the Mexican quarter. The greater portion of this sum, it was sald, represented money collected from | shippers. and held here subject to orders | from the home Government, which fre-| | quently draws upon its forelgn Consuls | for sums needed to meet obligations else- | where. Another charge made against the | missing man, and one that has since been substantiated, was thab\ Coney had bor- | rowed large sums from various firms on | the pretext that the money was needed | | | | i | temporarily to meet local Government ob- ligations. These sums he failed to re- turn, and in one or two cases the persons | or firms which advanced the money called | on him and threatened to expose him to his Government if he did not immediately make good the amounts. SILENCE AT CONSULATE. Coney left his family behind him. Fre- quent inquiries at his home on Post street failed to reveal his whereabouts, his wife professing her belief in his statement made before he left town that he was go- ing direct to the southern republic. It was claimed by a few of his friends for a time that his recall to Mexico would be followed by an appointment to some high- er diplomatic office, possibly the Consul Generalship in New York. This claim was based mainly on the fact that Coney many years before had saved the life of President Diaz and that the latter had re- warded him with the local appointment and had promised him further advance in the consular service. When, however, it was learned that Coney had not gone to Mexico and the storles of alleged mis- use of consulate funds were circulated the colonists began to realize that long- existing friendship between the sident and his San Francisco representative had been broken. Since then Coney has been regarded in the light of a fugitive. Fre- quent stories have come from Mexico that the missing man was wanted by his Gov- ernment, but in response to inquiries . made at the consulate, the only official source of information here, Consul Gen- eral Zayas Enriquez has repeatedly nn.a that he had not been advised of any in- tended S.ovean the part of his Govern- ment toward apprehendiag Coney, but al- ways adding that if such a_move was to be made he would not necessarily be ad. vised of the fact.

L. BOWERS. * RS. MARTHA E. BOWERS and her sister, Mrs. Zylpha C. Sut- ton, charged with the murder of Martin L. Bowers, the late husband of Mrs. Bowers, were given an examination yesterday after- noon before Police Judge Cabaniss, the courtroom being crowded by persons anx- fous to listen to the testimony. The women charged with the murder were present and listened to the dam- | aging evidence of the physiclans that, were the witnesses of the day. Neither| woman showed the slightest trace of emo- tion until the expert testimony of two physiclans proved that Bowers’ death had been caused by the administration of ar-| | senic, when Mrs. Bowers broke down and shed tears. District Attorney Byinglon conducted the examination for the people and At- torneys Drury and MclIsaacs represented Mrs. Bowers. Ex-Police Judge Charles | Low appeared for Mrs. Sutton. Attornéy Vaughan of Portland, Ore., was present at the recuest of the mother of the ac- cused women. The evidence given by Dr. Carl von| Tiedemann was that he had attended | Martin L. Bowers on June 5 and 9 of| this year, being called in at the request of Mrs, Bowers. The witness detailed the symptoms of the patient and said | that he had diagnosed them as ptomaine | poisoning caused by eating tainted food. He based his diagnosis on the symptoms | presented, and also‘on the history of the | case as furnished by Bowers and his wife. | MANY DOCTORS TESTIFY. Dr. John Gillen testified that he was| called to attend Bowers on June 11 and | found that the patient had suffered from vomiting and was In a weak condition. The witness testified that he diagnosed the case as one of acute indigestion and prescribed the usual remedies. The wit- ness then stated that his patient im- proved under treatment and then became worse in the four days he attended Bow- ers. Dr. Alfred McLaughlin testified that he attended Bowers from July 6 until Au- gust 6 at the Waldeck Sanatorivm and for eight days after Bowers was removed from the sanatorfum until he died. He said: The symptoms of the case indicated an acute case of gastral intestinal trouble, caused by ptomaine poisoning. All the symptoms of pto- toms are similar to arsenical polsoning and it is {mpossible to differentiate the two without a complete history of the cas 1 prescribed for him, among other things, twelve Gross pills, each containing one-twen- tieth of a grain of arsenic. He was to be given three of these pills each day and when he lert the Waldeck Mrs Bowers: took with her_en s to last for two days. or T eited: Bowers at his home Mr. Bowers ked me if she could have the prescription r the pills made up at a near by drug store and I congented. Elght days after Bowers left the Waldeck he was in the same condition as when he was in the sanatorium. On August 14 I found him considerably worse. He was vomiting and in great pain. He was doing fairly well when he left the Vkllfleck and there was nothing in the medicines prescribed to cause the change that took place. 1 had consented to Bowers being removed from the Waldeck to his home on condition that he was given the same treatment as in the sanatorfum, but it was evidentthat he had 3 been given the treatment I expected. I ed Mi Bowers if she had given him the medlcine and food I had prescribed and she said she had, but that her husband was vomit- ing and could not take the medicines and food. I thought it strange, as Bowers had taken the eame treatment at the sanatorium. Dr. McLaughlin then identified the va- rious prescriptions he had written for Bowers and they were filed as exhibits. PRESCRIPTION WAS FORGED. A sensation was caused in the court- room whaen District Attorney Byington showed the witness a glass frame inclos- ing a piece of paper on which was'writ- ten, “Arsenic, one ounce, Hohugh“n. . D.” The witness positively declared the writing to be a forgery and that he had not authorized any other person to his name to the paper. is document will form a strong link in the chain of evidence against Mrs. Bowers and Mrs. Sutton. The detectives found the forged prescription at the drug store of J. Askenasy at Fifth and Fol- som streets, and Drug Clerk J. C. Peter- son has identified Mrs. Sutton as the person who presentsl it and secured an +* ounce of white arsenic. Handwriting ex- perts will be called to prove that the forged preseription is in the handwriting of Mrs. Bowers, and tlie police have a note book. found in Mrs. Bowers’ hous from which the picce of paper was evi- dently torn. Dr. McLaughlin also-identified a num- ber of pills found at the Bowers house, 370 Clementina street, which he gdeclared were similar to those he had prescribed for Bowers. These pllls include sixteen ! of the Gross pills, and the prosecution will show that Bowers was only given eight-twentieths of a grain of arsenic, while at the Waldeck. Dr. John Lagan testified to attending Bowers on August 15 last. but he with- drew from the case when he found an- other physician in attendance. GIVE DAMAGING EVIDENCE. The evidence of Dr. C. L. Morgan and of Professor Frank E. Green proved con- that Martin L. Bowers was murdered by the administration of arse- ze quantities. tified to having made an exami- nation of the stomach of Bowers at the request of the Coroner and of finding more than four grains of white arsenic in the same. Both of the witnesses tes- tified that the quantity of arsenic found | in the stomach of Bowers was sufficient to have caused death, two and’ a half grains being estimated to be a fatal dose. The prosecution brought out the fact that Bowers must have had administered to him considerable of the deadly poison. The o\'idr‘nrv of Dr. Louis I. Breistein and | of Nurse Car! Schmidt of the German al was that on the morning of Au- | gust % last Bowers was taken from his home to the German Hospital and died at the institution at half past 4 of that day. These witnesses festified that Bow- | ers was given from four to six ounces of drinking water every half hour for five hours on the day of his death, This evidence was followed by that of ' @ Dr. Morgan, who gave his expert testi- mony that the finding:of four grains of argenic in the stomach of Bowers, cou- plad with the fact that he was given con- siderable drinking water on the day of his death, tended to prove that much of | the arsenic administered had either been | carried into the bowels or into the eircu- | lation of the body. Dr. Morgan further | testified that he had made tests of the | bedsheets used by Bowers and had found arsenic in the stains of vomit and ex- | creta on the linen, SEEK LERVEY’S RELEASE. The various physicians who were called as witnesses testified that they had not prescribed any arsenic for Bowers, with the exception of Dr. McLaughlin, whose evidence is detailed above. The further hearing of testimony will be continued this afternoon at 2 o'clock before Police Judge Cabaniss. Attorney Alf Whelan made application before Judge Dunne yesterday afternoon for a writ of habeas corpus for the re- lease of Patrick Lervey, alias O'Leary. The writ was made returnable at 11 o'clock this morning. Lervey IS an im- portant witness in the case and has been detained in the City Prison since Mrs, Bowers and Mrs, Sutton were arrested. —_————— WHITNEY NOT SELECTED FOR THE OBSERVATORY Professor Hale Declares That Story About the California Moun- tain Is Untrue. DELAVAN, Wi Sept. 14.—Professor George C. Hale said to-night: “The statement is attributed to me that a Carnegle observatory will be established at the summit of Mount Whitney, in Cali- fornia. As a matter of fact, no such de- cision has been reached. It was long ago announced by the officlals of the Carnegie Institution that commissions should be appointed to report on the advisability of pursuing certain investigations in astron- cmy and other departments of sceience. | The commission on astronomy examined many mountain sites, including Mount ‘Whitney, but as yet no report of any kind , has been presented to the trustees.

SAN JOSE, Sept. 13.—J. W. Thrift, who say’s he halls from Seattle, was shot in the hip early this morning while trying ‘ to enter the rel\dence!of Mrs. E. T. Wood at 72 Stockton avenue. Mrs. Wood and | two other women were alone in the house. | About 3 o'clock this morning Thrift came | to the house and attempted to break in i the front door. He was warned away ! by the women, but refused to go. | Charles A. Holt, who lives next door, | was awakened by the women's cries and f went to their assistance with a six-shoot- er. Warnings of Holt to Thrift to leave ‘(he premises were not heeded, and then | Holt shot in the air to (rl[htell the fel- low. This had no effect on the would- | be burglar, and Holt shot him in the ! right hip. The bullet passed through the fleshy part of the hip, making a painful wound. Thrift set up a how! of pain and he was cared for until Deputy Sheriff | Dreischmeyer arrived. The shooting and the howling of Thrift awoke the neigh- bors and great excitement prevailed in the vicinity for some time. Asa Munsey, a partner of Thrift, was arrested at the Rainier Hotel early this morning. The two men came here from Seattle a couple of weeks ago and have | been picking prunes at the Blackwell ranch, near this city. According to Mun- sey, the two men were drinking yester- day and Thrift had mistaken the Wood house for the one where he lived. This is not belleved. however, as both men were sober when arrested. The officers believe that burglary was intended. Thrift will probably be prosecuted for at- tempted burglary. ——— GOVERNMENT IS PAID AMOUNT OF JUDGMENT Secretary of thei’l‘;eauury Receives Drafts Covering the Award in the Pacific Roads Case.

Henceforth there will be no pigmies, for a wonderful food substance has been dis- covered that makes men and animals grow—grow fast and large. Myths that have come down from an- | cient days tell of races of giants which inhabited the earth or dwelt on the isl- ands of the sea. from old records and folklore is filled with stories of Hectors and Herculeses and Go- llaths and Samsops and Cyclopses. ence has proved that the animals of the earth were once far larger than at pres- ent, and in museums may be seen skele- tons of mammoths and mastodons that lived on prehistoric earth and of awful lefvlamans which dwelt in the seas there- of. The glant men and monstrous animals may all return again as a result of the newly discovered food substance which stimulates growth so rapidly. The new food is lecithin. Its wonderful qualities have just been demonstrated by a series of experiments conducted by Dr. Shin- kishi Hatal, professor of neurology at the University of Chicago.
