ADMIRE ROOSEVELI'S COURAGE
London Newspapers Comment on Prssi-
dents Speech on Trusts

London, Aug 2S.-President Roose-
velt's declarations on trusts and the
Monroe doctrine are both subjects of
extensive comment in the London press
this morning. Discussion Of the former
matter centers less upon the intrinsic
merits of the trust question than upon
the outcome Of the presidential strug-
gle with the party leaders. All the
newspapers express admiration of Pres
ident Roosevelts courage and boldness,
but hesitate to predict the result.
The Daily Telegraph expresses the
opinion that the trust question will
prove to be the most epoch-maling is
sue in American politics since Bryan's
schism on silver, and says there is alb
solutely no discernible limit to the Wis
ia of political convulsions, vicissitudes
and divisions which may be the out
come thereof While recognizing the
danger of the unchecked growth OF
commercial combines, this paper finds
1t difficult to conceive of any form or
process of interference which would not
produce a tremendous financial crisis
and jeopardize Americas economic SUI
premacy. The Daily Telegraph con-
tends that tariff reform would, politi-
cally and economically, be the least
dangerous and the most effective way
of keeping the national monopolies in
order.

TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK
Jealous Lover Kills Man. Woman and
HimwIf

New York. Aug. 2S-Lizzie Otto,
formerly Of sroudsburg. Pa; Arthur
Campbell, Of this city, and Christian
Cans, government tailor at Fort Han
cock, are dead as the result of a
tragedy which took place yesterday in
the apartments Of the woman In East
Twenty-ffth street. where she was
known as Lizzie Hall. The woman
and Campbell, it is believed, died al
most instantly. Cans died in Belle
vue hospital last night.
The OFT woman lived in three small
rooms in the rear of the first floor of
the house, which is a large tenement.
Her almost nude body was found on
the floor of the bedroom, with a bullet
hole through her heart. Arthur W.
Campbell's body, fully dressed. and
also shot through the heart, was lying
behind that OF the woman. Christian
CAM lay dying in the same room, a
bullet having entered Nle base of the
brain and shattered the spinal column.
Both GAM and Campbell had been
calling on the woman frequently and
residents OF the house say they were
jealous of each other Campbell and
the OFT woman were seen together at
the Aquarium Hotel Tuesday evening.
They quarreled, and the woman left,
Campbell going out after her. 1t is
supposed that CAM called at the house
during the night, and, finding Campbell
there, shot both Campbell and the
woman, and then turned the weapon
on himself.
The following note, dated New
York, August, 1902, was found in one
of Cans pockets by the coroner:
"This woman has ruined my life
and hope that God will forgive me
for what am going to do. And am
not sorry for what am going to do
Good bye to all.

PRESIDENT MRBTN
HUNTER FRIEND
Spends Interesting Day IN
Pine Tree State
UtterS Warning for GOmen and
Children and Hears Orphans
Sing in Bangor

Ellsworth, Me-, Aug. 2S.-The presi-
dents second day in the Pine Tree
State was full of interest. Starting
from the governors residence at an
early hour yesterday, he was taken for
a short drive about the city Of Au-
gusta, and at $50 left for Bangor,
where the principal speech of the day
was delivered at the Fair Grounds in
the presence of an immense audience,
which listened with marked attention
to his address. The same close atten-
tion was given him at Wateryille,
where from far and near came hun
dreds to see and hear the first presi-
dent who has visited Maine in many
years. In anticipation of his coming
a general holiday was declared, and all
business was suspended.
Just before leaving Augusta the pres
ident heard that his old guide, Bill
Sewall, of Island Falls, Me-, who had
accompanied him on many hunting ex-
peditions, and who had for a time been
employed on his ranch in Dakota, was
at Bangor. He Immediately wired TO
Congressman Powers at Mayor to "cor-
ralT' him and hold on to him until he
reached the city. That the congress-
man carried out these instructions was
fully proven, when he produced the
tall, raw-boned. red-whiskered hunter
upon the presidents arrival.
Il am glad to see you, BILL said the
president, whereupon Bill replied:
''You amt no gladder than l be-"
Then It was that the president told
the story of his friendship Of many
years with the old guide and hunter,
and how many years ago. while on a
hunting trip through Maine, owing to
the shortage in the meat supply, they
had eaten muskrat together which the
president said was the last meat he
had eaten in Maine before this trip.
The president seemed to delight IN the
rural simplicity of the man, and in
sisted that he should sit down to din
ner with him. Bill therefore had the
distinction that comes to but few, Of
dining with the chief executive of the
nation and the governor Of his state
at the same time.
On the drive through Bangor the
presidents carriage was stopped in
front of the portico Of the orphan
home, where the little ones were as
4 sembled, and they greeted him in
song
Before beginning to speak at the
Fair Grounds the president, noticing
the jammipg and pushing of the crowd
in front OF the grand stand. cautioned
the people TO be careful of the women
and children. and asked them to show
their capacity to manage themselves
which Immediately had the desired ef-
feet The platform from which the
president spoke was directly in front
of the grand stand, which was packed
with humanity. Behind him was an
other dense crowd. He humorOusly in
formed his audiences that he did not
think he faced both ways, but that or
that occasion he would have to. Upon
leaving the platform he drove around
the race track in response to cries from
the audience that he do so.
Last night the president dined here
at the home of Senator Hale, who ao-
companied the party from Bangor He
left for Nashua, N. H., and other point:
in that state, wnere he spoke today.
