In fact, they should kick so hard that Yale or Harvard wouldn't be in 1t for min- ute. The cars should be run through the main thoroughfare by all means. The Brooklyn district people should be thankful that they have the champion base ball club of the city. The west end people should be not only thank fuI but should feel proud of her golf links which attract so many s'Iooters on." But the fellows who sell a cer- tain kind of drinks when they should not sell them ought to be very thank full that the spotters who went the rounds a short time ago were not good American citizens.

RATHBONE'S CASE,
Senator Hanna Has Long Conference
With Secretary Root.

Senator Hanna had a long conference
with Secretary Root at the War Depart

to the case of Rathbone. It is understood
that when he was in Havana Secretary
Root looked into that case with view to
determining the powers of the President in
bringing about a retrial of Rathbone in the
event that such a course shall be deter
mined upon. officials having knowledge on
the subject refuse to discuss the case in
any of its phases but there is an impress
sion among the friends Of Rathbone that
he Is to be given another opportunity to
establish his innocence Of the charges made
against him in connection with the Cuban
postal frauds. 1t is known that before Sec
retary Roots departure from the city he
was not fully satisfied that charges had
been legally proven by the Cuban tribunal
which considered the case-that is accord
ing to the usual legal standards in the
United States. Whatever action, if any, is
taken in this case will be taken through
