THE PRESIDENTS WOUNDS.
An Uncommon Number Has Been Re- ceived by the Chief Executive
 In His Adye ntures.

Such collection of scars as that borne by President Roosevelt was never owned by an American chief executive before. He is the most wounded" president of the United States Fifteen injuries of more or less serious nature have been received by him since he reached manhood, says recent account.
 During his football days he received many bruises, and during his ranch ing career in the west he got three ribs broken. Later in the Bad Lands he had bone broken in his shoulder from fall from a vicious horse.
 He was attacked by grizzly bear while hunting in Idaho in 1889, and es- capcd by a marrow margin. Two years, before that he was chased by an in furiated steer in the Big Horn country of Wyoming He grabbed the steer by the horns, vaulted to it's back, and rode it for two miles.
 On more recent hunting trips in Col orado he had encounters with noun tain lions in which his quickness of hand frequently saved his life.
 He was slightly wounded in the Cuban campaign, and he barely es- caped death in a trolley accident at Pittsfeld. His leg was so injured that an operation for abscess had to be performed later.
 President Roosevelt's last two in- i juries have been received at the hands of his intimate friend, Gen Leonard Wood, in single stick and napier play, which they used as exercise almost daily. A few weeks ago Gen. Wood thrust his rapier through the presi- dents mask, bruising him severely on the forehead and narrowly missing his left eye. A week later the two friends l were in vigorous bout with the sin i Loe stick in an improved gymnasium near the top of the white house. The | play became rather heated, and in the rapid play the president caught a | heavy cut on the wrist. He had to 1 shake hands with his left hand at the recent white house reception.

 furniture and electrical effects for 'The Lily and the Prince in which Mildred

 this week, for einterest in this clever fellow, who appears to have marvel ous skill with his tongue as with his hands, is even more pronounced than
 usual at tilis time because of his match with Jefferies for the worlds cham pionship, next August. No matter what one may think of the boxing game itself or of it's opponents, there IS always an element of interest about both for the average human; and when a leading exponent of the game one who in past has held the worlds cham pionship and who bids fair to regain it, comes before the public as the very best story teller on the vaudevtlle stage, as Corbett is admitted to be. it would be very unimpressionab ble per son, indeed, that could resist feeling an interest tin him. Corbett is certain ly a very pleasing entertainer, and he has fund of stories that are abso- lutely original for the very reason that they concern his own experiences and cannot on that account be used by others And to the ladies he is equal Ny attractive and interesting for the reason that there is nothing about his wonderfully pleasing personality or his stage work that in any suggests fhe most scientific boxer that this world has ever produced.

SAN TOY.

The production of ''San Toy" by the Augustine Daily Musical company this evening at Polls is sure to prove one of the m usical treats of the season. It is musical comedy of the English type; and while the English are not noted for, their sense of hn1mor, it will be admitted that they have written the best musical plays and ''San Toy" from all accounts is one of their very best products. In London, where it was first produced, it scored a tremen- dous hit, an experience which was re- peated in New York on it's being brought across the ocean. The nlusi- cal comedy as it is known to-day was first exploited in this country by the late Augustin Daily. On its gaining a foothold on British territory and se- curing a theatre in London, Daily or ganized company for the presenta- tion of musical comedy, which was to alternate in his two theatres with the dramatic stock company, and this is the company that appears tbis evening l with only such changes as have been l unavoidable.

He Still Hopes for vindication

LEAvENWORTH, Kan, Nov. 27-The
doors OF the Leavenworth prison will open
at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning for Oberlin
" Carter, formerly a captain of engineers
n the United States army. Convicted by a
eourt-martial of conspiracy to defraud the
government. he has finished a term of five
years imprisonment, having a credit of ten
months for good behavior. Carter will
leave tomorrow for Chicago and be met by
Horace c.. Stone. his attorney. who has
been collecting evidence In the civil case
pending in the United States Court there
through which the former army officer
hopes to get vindication. Judge Kohlsaat
is to decide whether Carter is entitled to
valuable bonds and real estate which the
government claims were secured Illegally
Mr.. Stone said to-day that before the case
is ended the public will have ample proof
that the large amount Of money which
aroused suspicion against Carter was Sc
cured from his father-in-law. Robert F.
Westcott, deceased, who was a millionaire
in New York. Westcott, according to Mr.
Stone, was always generous with his SON.

bonds, shortly after Carriers arrest, the
latter accepted the gift as a matter of
course. The next day Mr.. Westcott left
the Greene-Gaynor case which proved dam
aging to his son-in-laws reputation, tend
ing to show that Carter had got the bonds
from the contractors. I'VE now have proof
from Westcotts bank books and other rec
ords,'' said Mr. Stone, (which tends to
show that this is not true"
United States Commissioner Booth re-
Gently reported to Judge Kohlsaat that he
believed Carriers uncle and brother Loren
20 and Stanton Carter. had turned over all
the property belonging to the former mill
tary officer.
Mr. Stone to-day received a letter from
his client in which Carter wrote: "At the
coming trial in the Federal Court in Chi
cago il will be shown beyond cavil that
every dollar 1 had was properly received
by me: that / always served my country
loyalty and intelfgently; that the work
intrusted to my care was properly, skill
fully and economically done in the best pos
sible manner; that 1 always did my duty as
an officer of the corps of engineers; and
that although crimes have been commit
ted against me, my honor is unsulied"
This is said to be the first comment on
his case which Carter has made public
since his Incarceration.

Three ill-mated partners yesterday petit
toned the judges of the Superior Court to
sever the ties Of matrimony. Henry
Hoover asks for a legal separation from
his wife. Henrietta, charging that she
drinks to excess. When she became drunk,
Hoover alleges. her abuse of him was un-
bearable and he was often compelled to
remain away from home until she became
sober. He further alleged that he tried to
reform her but she resisted all his at
tempts.
Lille E. Snyder alleges in her petition
for divorce from Ernest 0. Snyder, that her
husband has slapped her and refused to
allow her own child to stay at home, say
ing that he would not stay IL the child re-
manned. Mrs. Snyder further states that
her husband has told her and a number of
her friends that he married the plaintiff
for the sole purpose of having her provide
and furnish home for him. Snyder has
been "a constant fault finder and a chronic
grumbler' since his wedding day, 1t is al
legged.
Margaret A. Hatch has, It is said in a
divorce complaint, made q practice and

SUED FOR OATS And HAY
WILLIAM ROUSE & son HAVE CLAIM
AGAINST THE CITY.
The Horse Feed Was Purchased by
Former Board of safety-News
Of tho Courts.

Suit was filed yesterday by William Rouse
g. Son, grain dealers, against the city of
Indianapolis to collect s. 600 for 1900 BUSH
els of oats and fifty tons Of timothy hay
which were bought by the former Board
of Public Safety for the fire department.
The Board Of Safety allowed the bill and
issued warrant on the controller for the
amount.
When Jacob P. Dunn was appointed con-
troller he refused to pay the bill. claiming
that the goods were not satisfactory. He
offered, however. to settle the bill for s, 200,
which the firm refused to accept.

were examined by William H. Long, pur-
chasing agent under the former admins
tration, and they were pronounced satisfac-
tory. The feed was distributed among the
different engine houses and most of 1t has
been fed to the horses. The firm demands

ELEVENTH WARD STIRRED
TROUBLE OVER APPOINTMENT OF
GrUFFRE TO INSPECT oRsHIr.
Claim Made that He Hes Done No
Work for the Cfty-Keaoh's Innu-
ence Responsible.

OF all the appointments e subordinate
positions that have been made by the pres
ent administration since IL assumed the
reins of municipal government none has
caused such howl of disapproval 70 60 up
from the ranks OF the unter<ined as that
of Gus Giuffre to an inspectarship on the
city engineers force. The storm center is
the Eleventh ward. where Che appointee
resides. The anger OF the faithful In that
ward is at fever heat and ths things they
say about that astute statesman. James
Leroy Reach. who is said to be responsible
for the appointment, would not look well in
print. Already several indignation meet
ings have been held
For several days after the public an
nouncement of the appointment OF Giufrre
the paramount query in the Eleventh was.
''Who is this man Giuffrer: Eventually
the discovery was made THAI he was an
Italian and part owner OF saloon at the
corner of Maryland street and Virginia
avenue. Coupled with this came the in
formation that he had been a faithful ad-
herent of the Republican party ever since
the day that he walked proucly out Of the
Office of the county clerk with his naturali-
cation papers tucked carefully away in his
inside pocket. II appears that he entered
upon the recent city campaign fully i'm
pressed with the belief that his interests.
as heretofore. were identical with those or
that party. But according 10 one OF the
kickers, Reach lined him up just before
the election and he IN turn began an active
campaign in the interest OF Hoffman
among the members OF his own race. IL Is
not known whether he accomplished any
thing or not, but the appointment his
reward for whatever efforts he may have
made.
Although on the pay roll of the present
administration. whose representatives dur
ing the recent campaign were lavish In
their promises of economy and reform, IL
is claimed Giuffre has not performed a
days work since his appointment four
weeks ago. Ii Is said that he reports at
the city building every morning. but for
some reason there lis nothing doing"
The appointment OF Giuffre is supposed to
be the Eleventh wards share OF the spells
OF the recent victory. but the Democrats
fail to appreciate the situation.
