COMPROMISE REPUDlATED.
Suit Ordered Against Armour & Co. by
Gov. Roosevelt for 81 ,25O,OO

ALBANY, n. ", March 13.-Governor
Roosevelt has refused to sanction the pro-
posed compromise of the suits brought by
New York State against Armour & Co., of
Chicago for violating the state butter laws
and has ordered the attorney general to
proceed with the prosecution of the cases.
Four years ago suits were brought in the
courts by the State to recover from Armour
& Co. penalties amounting to $1,2J9,Vco for
selling oleomargarine in this State as an
imitation of butter. An agreement was en-
tered into by Armour & Co., the state COM
missioner of agriculture and the attorney
general that the suits be discontinued on the
stipulation that Armour & Co. pay TO the
State SO 600 and agree to sell no more cleo
margarine in this State. The agreement was
signed by Commissioner Wieting and Attor-
ney General Hancock during the admins
tration of Governor Black and was pre-
scented to that executive for ratification he
took no acton in the premises. however,
and 1t had been pending in the executive
chamber for nearly two years. 1T was
brought to the attention of Governor Roose-
Welt by a Senate resolution adopted week
ago. Governor Roosevelt In announcing MS
decision to-day said that he did not think
IL was proper TO compromise under the con-
ditiors proposed. If the State had ground
for bringing suits for the original sum 1t
would be improper to compromise for $O,O0O
He was of the opinion that the cases should
be decided In court on their merits.

Mason Mitchell Rough Rider and actor,
who is giving a twenty-minute description

was asked. How Is 1t possible to know
that a piece of the shell that struck Mr.
Mitchell also struck Mr.. English's horse,
when the two were separated?" But Cap
tain English issued the following statement
of the matter which shows that pieces of
the shell also struck Colonel Roose-
