ROOSEVELT DID
NOT SNUB Upton
His Attitude on Yacht Club Dinner
Explained in Official Statement
WHAT SIR THOMAS SAYS

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 15.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has approved Of the
issuance Of a formal statement OF the
facts concerning the Seawanhaka Co
rinthian Yacht Club dinner incident,
which has created so much unpleasant
comment.
Colgate Hoyt, chairman Of the board
of trustees of the yacht club, visited
OYSTER Bay and had a conference with
the president for half al hour. Mr..
Roosevelt expressed regret that any
published statement ef the dinner in
cident should have placed him in
false attitude. and, with a view to re-
lieving Sir Thomas Upton of embar-
rassment because of the statements
that he had treated him with discour-
tesy. he authorized Mr.. Hoyt to make
a plain statement of the episode
Mr.. Hoyt prepared and issued the fol-
lowing:
There has been 50 much mlsunder-
standing over the proposed annual am
ner of the Seawanhaka Yacht Club that
I feel it my duty as chairman OF tAs
board Of trustees to state the facts viz:
That the president was invited by me
TO be the guest of the club at its annual
banquet. and he accepted with the dis
tinct understanding that it was not to
be a large, formal function, but simply
the annual banquet of the club for its
members and guests. Sir Thomas Lip
toms name was not mentioned, nor
that of any other gentleman, in my
interview. and to assure the public
that nothing was further from the
presidents thoughts than to bar SIT
Thomas Upton or any one else from
the dinner. l take pleasure in giving
to the press the following letter which
l have just received from Secretary
Loeb;
my Dear Mr.. Hoyt-The president
directs me TO say that it will be a par
ticular pleasure to him if Sir Thomas
Luton can come to the Seawanhaka
dinner. As you will recall, all that the
president said when the invitation was
extended to him was that he did not
feel like accepting any more invitations
to formal functions; that If it e'as SIM
ply to be a neighborhoOd dinner among
his own friends in the Seawanhaka
club he would gladly come. The pres
ident has a particularly high regard
for Sir Thomas Upton and high ap-
probation of the manly and sportsman
like spirit he has shown throughout
the yacht contests. The president
earnestly desires that Sir Thomas be
present at the dinner.

KILLED HIS sRoTHERIN-LAw
L. L. Adar7s Shot BY w. Il. Reed In

Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. l6.-Wil-
liam Harvey Reed. 2S years Of age,
clerk in the general delivery Cw'art-
ment Of the postofIice, shot and Nilled
his brother-in-law, Lawrence 7. Adams,
aged q years. The tragedy occurred
in Adams room in the third story Of
a cottage, % South Vermont avenue,
where the two men boarded.
When Captain of Police Maxwell ar
rived ne found the homicide with his
young wife. He submitted to arrest
without resistance and appeared to be
uncOncerned. The police found the
victim lying on the floor of his room
with a bullet wound in his breast
above the heart. The ball had passed
entirely through the body, coming out
Just above the hip. Blood saturated
the clothing and had formed a large
pool.
An officer is in charge of the cottage
and the occupants could not be Induced
to make statement. The motive for
the murder is no known.
The neighbors report that there had
been some excitement in the cottage
during the morning and that the
shooting was the outcome Of a quarrel

one report is that the fatal wound was
made with a shotgun. another with a
rifle and a third that it was a revolver.

BULGARIA WAY START wAR
Powers Must Step Turkish Massacres
or She VIII Act.

OF one VIII ESAs
Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 15.-The Bull
garian government, through its for
eign repres entauves, has addressed a
note to the great powers, declaring
that the porte is systematically deyas-
tating Macedonia and massacreing the
Christian population Further it says,
Turkey has modified her whole army,
which cannot possibly be for the sole
purpose Of suppressing the revolution.
Therefore, the Bulgarian government
appeals to the humane sentiment Of
Europe TO prevent the continuance of
the massacrss and devastation and to
stop the mobilization OF the Turkish
army. The memorandum concludes
with the plain statement that unless
the powers intervene Bulgaria will be
forced to take such measures as she
may deem necessary.
The Bulgarian ministry, there ap-
pears to be little doubt, in face of the
strongest pressure from within and
without, has endeayored to maintain
strict neutrality, but it appears very
possible that the government may now
depart from this position.
While it is possible that a Turko-
Bulgarian war may even yet be avert
ed, the probabilities of such an en-
counter were never greater than at
the present moment. The recent note
to the powers, the most decided step
yet taken by the prlncipality, was
dictated not only by the alarming re-
ports Of wholesale massacres an de
vastation daily arising, but even more
by the Indifference of the powers to
wards the severity of Turkeys repres.
sive measures.
