THERE IS NO PLOT.
Story of Designs on ROOsevelt'S
Life Officially Denied.

Washington, Nov. 19-Chief Wilkie, of
the United States secret service, in
speaking today of Mrs. Lena Dox-
heimer's story of plot to kill President
Roosevelt, said that a searching inveeti-
cation by operatives of the secret service
proved conclusively that she was mis-
taken to the facts. Chief WilKie is
convinced that there has been plot
against the life of the president, such
Mrs. Doxheiner describes. He believes,
however. that she is honest woman
ana sincere in her beliefs.
Mrs. Lena Doxhein.ez, who says that
until she became Z meTber of the First
Methodist Episcopal church at I5oboken,
two Years ago, she was associated with
an anarchistic society of that place. and
whose mental balance is questioned. is re-
ported to have related to- the Mothers
club and the pastor of her church a story
of alleged anarchist pIottings against the
life of President Roosevelt. According to
Mrs. Doxheimer there have been in the
last fourteen months three persons as
signed to the task of removing the
president. One oF these a Frenchman
named Meloye. she says she persuaded to
return to Paris. where he was killed by a
street car. She processes to believe that
/ he put himself in the way of death in
order to spare his relatives the humlia-
/ ton of regarding him as suicide. Next
according to Mrs. Doxheimer. the as
sassin's task was assigned to man
named Mueller living in Avenue D.. this
city, who few days later died of poison
/ elf-administered. The last of the three
designated for the murderous work, Mrs.
| Doxheimer alleges. was Mrs. Schroeder
/ of Harlem, who also ended her life by
means of poison
Mrs. Doxheimer asserts that among the
| plOtters several millionaires- Her
conception of what constitutes a million
are is indicated by her statement that
| these men "owned houses
Mrs Doxheimer says that recently she
| has been under suspicion of her former
anarchistic associates and that they have
/ followed her and her husband from place
to place. so that they have required the
protection of detectives.
The Rev Charles L. Meade. Mrs. Dox-
! heimer's pastor. will make statement
regarding the so-called confession.

the court ROOM Before w. w. Ross,
counsel for the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western road resumed his cross
examination OF President Mitchell.
Chairman Gray, for the commission,
again asked counsel to assist in exDe-
diting the proceedings. He said the
commission was loath to interfere. but
they hoped that Mr.. Mitchell would not
be asked to give his opinion of matters
of which he had no personal knowledge.
Mr. Mitchell, answering questions by
Mr. Ross. said that an increase in wages
without adopting the weighing system
would not meet the demands of the
miners An eiSht-hour day would in
crease the annual income of the men.
Mr. Ross was proceeding to analyze
the constitution of the Illinois branch OF
the United Mine Workers with relation
to it's bearing on the contracts with the
bituminous operators, when Judge
Gray interrupted with an inquiry as to
the object of this line of questioning.
Mr. Ross replied that it was for the pur-

Indian Railway Company Says Grown

London, Nov. 1e.-It is necessary to
repeat the warning previously given to
American manufacturers for foreign
markets against the folly of supplying
anything except the best materials in
the early and critical periods of their
trade with European and other custom
ers. Every failure or shortcoming from
whatever cause, is seized upon and ex-
plotted for the general discredit of The
American trade
The London papers constantly print

He adds that the makers of the locomo-

flee had offered to give me a receipt in
full for the taxes for S20. .000 Mr.. CORN
ley asked if I had said anything to DR..
Rush. and if I had not. to speak to him.
L conferred with DR.. Rush on the 18th
or 18th of April, and went into complete
details. He wanted to know how it
could be done, and asked What does

ANDERSON TO ALLEN.
Another Chapter in the Amusing
Controversy.

Henry Allen. chairman of the state board
of charities and Major Anderson. secre-
tary of the Commercial club, are still
making eyes at each other about the
contracts of the charities board. Several
weeks ago the Commercial club sent a let
ter to the governor reminding him that
the board of charities had been purchas-
ing supplies for some of the state insti-
tutions outside of Kansas. Allen answered
that in all cases where feasible the mater
ial and supplies had been bought from
Kansas dealers and intimated that the
Topeka people did not know what they
were talking about At the last meeting
of the club Secretary Anderson suggested
that Allen take day off and Jump on
the secretary in order to satisfy himself
for the injustice which he believed had
been done him. and Allen accepted the
challenge Today he makes further an
swsr to Allen as follows:
I'm answer to my invitation to the
chairman of the state board of charities,
that if he did not like the way the Com
mercial club did things he might take a
dav off and jump onto the secretary, Al

couched of a daughter this morning.

be doing well. The new princess will be
named ''Mafaloa" The child born to
the king and queen of Italy today is the
second daughter. the first Princess
Yolande Margherita, having been born
at Rome on June l, 1901.
The accouchement occurred a month
earlier than was expected. The king
yesterday was shooting on the Island of
Monte Christie when he was suddenly
summoned home. He Immediately
boarded a yacht and was landed on the
beach in the neighborhood of Rome. As
there were no debarking conveniences
the king was carried ashore on the
backs of sailors A motor car was in
waiting and he soon reached the palace.
The birth of another princess instead
of an heir to the throne is great pub
lie disappointment
United Stat tes Ambassador Meyer was
the first outsider to personally congrat-
ulate the king. The sovereign was in
excellent spirits. He declared he was
satisfied with another daughter and said
the queen and child were doing well.

Bear.

Smedes, Miss. Nov. 19-President
Roosevelt's bear nunt in Mississippi is
ended and he has not had even i shot
at a bear. The last day of the chase
was simply a repetition of the three
preceding days so far as his luck was
concerned. Try as the hunters would,
they could not get a bear within range
of the presidents rife. The dogs got
fresh trail early and the president and
Holt Collier followed it half dozen
miles to the Big Sunflower river. The

river still further down. 1t was then

made to break camp at 2:30 o'clock the
