NOTHING IN 1T.
Secretary Of War Officially Bran
Rathbone Charges Against Wood.

Washingto n, March 25.-Secretary
Root today took official action on the
charges made by Estes G. Rathbone
against Brigadier General Leonard
Wood. He made an Endorsement on
the papers saying no answer to the.
charges was required from Wood. and
no action will be AXE thereon; that
1t was known to the secretary that the
charges in every respect were without.
just foundation. l
The secretary refers to the part AIKEN
by the military governor in the post-i
office cases in which Rathbone was de-,
PENDANT, saying that Wood at every.
step had the approval Of the secretary
of .war and exercised only such control
,as was necessary as military governor.
HE refers to the game of Jai Alai and
declares that the gift accepted by Gen
eral Wood had no citation whatever to
any official action Of his, but was part
of the expression of gratitude of the
Cuban people toward the representa-
tive of the United States: to have re-
fused the gift would a been dis
courteous and unjustifiable. The ac-
ton of customs officials in reference to
the gift the secretary says was strict
ly in accordance with law and official
propriety. The Endorsement closes as
follows: There is no foundation for
the charges"

TO HELP NEW
Frank Vanderlip Says It Must Go After
the Foreign Trade.


Boston, March 24.-Frank A. Wander
lip, vice president of the National City
Bank OF New York, at the dinner Of the
commercial club here last night, pointed
to the great slump in exports of manu-
featured products from the United
States the last. tive years, and to New
England's prestige in the financial md.
Industrial world.
New England should not longer seek
to supply capital for western enter
prises and manufactured products for
the home market, and direct energies to
development of foreign commerce.
MI. Vanderlip showed that the west
no longer locke to New England for
capital; New England no longer con-.
trolled shipping; the west and south
were gradually absorbing New Eng
lands manufacturing trade; New Eng
lands bank capital is not increasing;
deposits are increasing slowly, railway
development has practically ceased;
skilled labor is leaving New England
Iy foreign born.
Mr.. Vanderlip would not say New
England had reached the limit Of de-
velopment. But he pointed out what
seemed to him the remedy. New Eng
land should turn to the limitless mar
kets in foreign lands He pointed out
the difficulties n showed they were,
not unsurmountable. He urged an or
ganization Of great financial strengths
for intelligently representing New Eng
lands interests in the worlds market.
This organization should establish ex-.
hibition rooms In centers of trade
throughout the world, with expert.
J statesmen In charge.

TIPPED OFF THE RAIDS.
New York Police Officer Gives Sense
------ -------- - E.:lnea = 1890 -

New York Police Officer Gives Sensa
tionaI Evidence.
New York, March 24.-George Bis
sert, d discharged policeman, gave
sensational testimony against Inspector
A. A. Cross, on trial for neglect Of duty.
Bissert swore that in 1901 he was
Instructed by Inspector Cross to til,
off" proposed raids on pool rooms.
Bissert said as a wardman at the
Fifth street station he had gone to the
Germania pool room every Saturday
afternoon. On many visits he heard
the calling names of horses
as reported from the race tracks.
did you go there on police bust
ness 2" asked Deputy Assistant District
Attorney Morgan.
NO" said Bissert, with q grin.
Witness was asked to relate his on
v%ersations with Inspector Cross in re-
gard to the pool rooTns. Btssert said
he had been summoned to Cross office
at headquarters at h time Jerome's
raids were going on, two years ago.
THE inspector met me in the hall
when I came down here" said Bissert.
HE said there were going to be some
warrants Issued for the pool rooms. He
said: I want you to get on to those:
warrants. If the rooms are right"
give them the tip"
did you obey those instructions?'r
asked Morgan.
81 did"
Blamed by the Inspector.
Attorney Morgan asked Bissert
: whether he had a talk with Cross aft
erward.
Yes, I met him two days later. He
asked why 1 did not tip the place off.
L said 1 tipped it off. He said he would
transfer me, and for me to report back
to my precinct"
Bissere said the talk referred to the,
pool room at Clarendon hall. He had
gone to Yorkville court with another
plain clothes man, O'Connor, since
dead, and hung around until they over
heard enough to know Clarendon hall
was menaced. He sent O'Connor to no.
tify the pool room people.
He asked a superior officer If Clar-
endon hall was right" and was told
1t was; then he sent O'Connor with the
tip.
The pool room was emptied but no
raiders appeared. After an hour some
one passed word that a false alarm had
been sounded, and the pool room re-
sumed. Its patrons gathered just in
time to be scooped by the tardy raid
ers. Bissert said afterward he got an
explanation Of these circumstances be-
fore higher officials, when they re-
moved from him the stigma Of having
failed to give the tip right"
Attorney Elkus, Cross, declined to
cross examine Bissert, to the disap-
pointment of the prosecution, because
cross examination would let in testi-
mony on redirect which. would have
strengthened the case.
