FICTITIOUS ROOSEVELT LETTER.
Socialist Party DiscIaims Any Re-
spOnsibility For Forgery.

CHICAGO, Sept 29.-William Mail
~, national secretary Of the Socialist
party, has issued statement, in
which he says:
''The Socialist party has no share in
the responsibility incurred by the cir
culation of the fictitious letter said to
have been written to Michael DOnnelly
by President Roosevelt. The letter
bears on its face the evidence of it,
own spuriousness. for even If the pres
ident entertained the views attributed
to him it would have been eminently
taGtless and foolish for him to have
given them out in that form at this
time.
Every piece of literature issued by
the national Socialist party bears the
imprint of the national committee, and
we are willing to accept any RESPONSE
bility its issuance may bring. Our in
dictment is of the capitalist system.
and we can find enough of truth to
charge against 1t and both old parties
without resorting to dishonest or ques-
tionable methods to make our case"

wound up the day by shooting valu-

last act was more than the sheriff of

as result he bagged couple of dozen
of the chief offenders. When tho cases
came up before the justice of the peace

accused laid the entire blame ON Hood

got six months in jail, and in sentenc-

ed by dropping the last syllable of the
