Chandler, Boston, who appeared as counsel in the case, representing his own and the interests of Banker Camille Weidenfeld, presented a long state- ment at the hearing before Examiner Mabey in the Federal Builaimg, In the course of this statement Mr. Chandler tells at great length how of Lamb had held deeds to property in Worcester, wi Mass., owned by Lawson, & Co, worth about how Lamb refused to turn those deeds; how there was spondence between Chandier Weidenteld and Lamb on this jenfeld U0; corr and point. The correspondence falled to accom- anything and Lawyer Chandler spon Lamb and demanded that he &ive up the deed to the Worcester prop- erty.

Kal |PRESIDENT DEFENDS ARMY IN PHILIPPINES Tells Veterans at The Weirs Our Troops Committed Only a Few Outrages. THEIR FOE A CRUEL ONE. Says Soldiers Were Under Constant Temptation to Re- | taliate but Surprisingly Few of Them Did So. THE WEIRS, N. H., Aug. 28.— President Roosevelt's train reached The Weirs at 12.03 o'clock: Here, as at other points along the line, he was greeted by immense throngs, the crowds at Nashua and Manckest- er being especially notable. At The Weirs he was received by members of the New Hampshire Veteran As- sociation, whose annual reunion he came especially to attend. Tue President had slept on the train ead made an early start. His speech in The Weirs was a de- fense of the operations of the army tn the Philippines. He made short speeches at Nashua and Manchester, where big crowds greeted him, but at the other stations simply bowed from the train platform, | At Munchester the President was es- sorted to a carriage and taken on @ drive through the industrial and pusi- ness sections of the clty. A military escort was in charge of Col. Henry B. Fairbanks, The President's carriage was drawn by four handsome horses. On one of the bridges the two lead horses became unmanageable and they had to be taken out. Nothing more aevlous than an annoying delay re- muited, A few minutes later, standing in the carriage, Mr. Roosevelt made @ short speech. The President was enthusiastically cheered at the close of his remarks, following which the line of march was taken up for the depot, where the President boarded his special train for the Weirs, Addrean to the Veterans, When the President was introduced to the veterans he sald: “Any American who has a proper sense of the relative proportion of | things must reallze that to tne men |who fonght for the Union in the dark days of the civil war there Is owing a greater debt of gratitude than to any others, Great wera the deeds you std |and viral the need of doing them, and | many were the lessons taught the rest of us, both by what you accompilsaed in the war and by the way n which, when the war was over, you turaad to the work of peace with the same spilt! which had led you to triumph on the | tenicd Nelds, "You saved the Union and you freed }the slave, and thereby freed the slave's master from the worst of ail thraldoms, You did us the service of struggling in | a cause, and ¢or a reward in that way based upon aught that was merely ma- torial, The Task in the ippines. “We have just brought to a conclusion a war in the far Kast—a war which rang Up As A sequel to our short strug- gle with Spain. ‘The ‘army, which has done its work so well in the Philippine Islands, has had a task which was small indeed ‘compared with yours, but which nevertheless was fraught with hardship and diMculty pecultarly its own. “The men who after three years of painful, harassing, incredibly laborious! warfare in the tropical jungles against a | treacherous and savage foe, have final! brought peace and order and clvil go ernment in the Philippines, are your sons, your successors. “THEY HAVE BEEN CRUELLY MALIGNED, EVEN BY SOME WHO SHOUL DHAVE KNOWN BET.

Though the attend- ance was much lower in numbers than on any previous day of the meeting, it was nevertheless in ex- cess of any day of the previous sea- son. Hundreds of New Yorkers left on the early trains. The layers still remained and fougut out the getaway programme with the public, The stake feature was the Sara- nac, a $65,000 handicap for three- year-olds, which brought out a smashing good field of horses. The other races were not much so far as quality was concerned, but the fields were quite large and’ afforded good opportunity for speculation. The weather was charming and the track in perfect condition, Regarding the cable to the effect that WiiHam C. Whitney had founded the “Beresford trust,” for the benefit of persons connected with the turf who are in need of assistance, Mr. W".tney this afternoon said he had nothing to say on the matter. The information given out by the stewards last night to the effect that Senator O'Brien's entries had been refused because of the “doping” of Hans Wagner was not correct.

As a result five prisoners are in the guard- house at the Twelfth Regi-. ment camp, and Capt. J. Beaver Gearhart, of Company F, Twelfth Regiment, is suf- fering from a wound on_ his shoulder, made by a stone jthrown by a striker. A report gained currency to-day that the strikers were gathering in force to make a march on the No. 4 colliery, where the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company is min- ing and cleaning coal. The colliery is at the west end of the Panther Creek Valley, and the Governor's troop was ordered to that poiut. Com- panies F and K, of the Twelfth Regiment, were placed on trol- ley cars and run through the valley. ~ Surrounded by « Mekhi mr When the cars reacued Summit Hill they were surrounded by a mob of strikers, who hurled rocks at the soldiers and called them hard names. While “Jimmy” Marteen, an Italian, was in the act of hurling a stone at a car several soldiers jumped off and made an attempt to capture him, Marteen offered resistance and the soldiers were compelled to fix their bayonets. In the fight Marteen was slightly wounded in the left side. The soldiers started back to camp, and as the cars rounded a curve just outside of summit Hill, at & point where the tracks take an. abrupt dip, the motorman on the | first car made the discovery that | the rails had been greased. | | The cars were stopped and soldiers sent ahead to place sand upon the raiis,/ | When this had been dono it was possl- ble by moving the cars slowly to reach. | Lansford In safety.

The cars proceeded again, but had not gone far when another crowd was en- countered and the soldiers were again taunted and stoned. Half a dozen pol- diers jumped off and captured three men who were urging the crowd to attack the troops. The men gave their names as John King, Timothy King and John Kelly.
