Boston Newspaper
InCurS His Dis
pleasure.
Department Chiefs Are Or
dered to Give It No
Information.
Sequel to Sensational Canard Reflect
ing Upon Mr.. Roosevelt and
His Children.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, Nov 29.-The Presi-
dent caused to be issued late this aft
ernoon the most remarkable document
that ever emanated from the White
House. 1t has to do with the Thanks
giving turkey sent TO the White House
by Horace Vose of Rhode Island and
with charges of cruelty brought
against President Roosevelts children.
A Boston paper printed an account
of how the Roosevelt children had
chased the Vose turkey all over the
White House grounds, plucking at it
until it was exhausted, while the Presi-
dent looked on and laughed. The same
paper printed editorial comments of a
severe nature against the President
and his children for their inhumanity.
The President makes a long denial
through Loeb, his private secretary.
and follows this with an order that the
representatives of the offending paper
are to be denied all facilities for infor
nation in the various departments. The
statement follows:
THE Presidents attention has just
been called to a news item and an edi-
torial which contain an absolute in
EenIlOn IN the shape OF an account VI
the supposed maltreatment by his chill
dren of the Thanksgiving turkey which
Mr.. Vose kindly sent to the White
House in accordance with his usual
custom.
1.-The article states that the children
released the turkey and chased 1t all
over the White House grounds, pluck
ing at it and teasing it and yelling and
laughing until the bird was well nigh
IL ro1
on and laughed.
1.-The editorial contained the follow
ling: Why should the Roosevelt chill
dren be allowed to torment and fright
en- an innocent bird They
should have known better than to make
a plaything of terrified bird. The
worst of it was that the President
watched the proceedings and laughed
There is not one word of truth in
these statements. AS a matter of fact,
the turkey was dressed when Mr.. Vose
sent it and was used for the Thanks
giving dinner There was a bronze
live turkey sent by Messrs. j. Bach
& Co. of Milwaukee. This turkey was
never taken out of its box, but was
shipped to Oyster Bay because of its
beauty and is living peacably with the
rest of the inhabitants of the barnyard
No such incident as that recounted has
ever taken place since the President
has been in the White House and moth
ing in the remotest degree resembling
it has ever taken place.
'"The correspondent of the Boston pa
per has deliberately invented and the
editor has commented upon incidents
which are not only untrue, but which
have not the fiimsiest foundation in
fact This is not exceptional; it marks
the elimination of long series of sim
liar falsehoods, usually malicious, and
always deliberate, which have appeared
in the news columns of the Boston pa
per.
Until further notice the departments
will exclude the individuals RESPONSE
BILE for this series of misstatements
from all facilities for information"

YANKEE LAD is SUPPOSED
TO BE VICTIM OF SPANIARDS
Youthful Cotton Globe Trotter, It Is
Feared, Met His Death on
Canary Islands

LOS ANGELES, Nov 29.-Roswell
Button of Cotton, a globe trotting lad
aged IL years, is reported to have been
murdered. together with several ship
mates, off Puerto de la Luz. Canary
Islands.
Young Button, who left Cotton a
year ago and set out to see the world
as a sailor, had already 'roughed it,
on three continents. In his last letter,
dated Canary Islands, October %, he
wrote his sister, Mrs. McGill, that he
was tired of travelling and anxious TO
get back home. He said they were
about TO leave for Cuba and added sig
nificantly:
II will be very glad. for the people
here are all Spaniards and they don't
like the Yankees. Life is almost un-
bearable."
1t is supposed Button and his com
panions were murdered by the Span
ish islanders through hatred growing
out of the late war. They were sail
ing the American bark Ida.
The State Department will be asked
to make a rigid investigation On But
toms body was found the address Of
his sweetheart, Effie Burbank OF Ana
helm. and to her came the first news

PARKER DIED BY OWN
HAND FOR LOVE OF GIRL
Coroner's Jury Finds More Evidence
of Death Pact Between Railroad
Man and Stenographer.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 29.-Coroner
Weaver to-day rendered a verdict in
the case of c. A. Parker, vice presi-
dent of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton and Pere Marquette railroads,
who died here suddenly in his office
November 19, finding that death was
caused by suicide with prussic acid.
Parker's death at the time was sup
posed to have been from natural
causes, no autopsy being held, and the
body was forwarded to st. Louis for
burial On the day of Parker's burial,
however. and almost at the hour of
his funeral Miss Elsie Gesterling died
by her own hand in Chicago. 1t de-
veloped that she had been his stenog-
rapher in Denver and that there was
a story of improper relations between
them. The stepfather of Miss Gester-
ling said after her death that he be-
lieved that Parker and Miss Gester-
ling had agreed to die together.
1t was shown that just previous to
Parker's death he had visited Miss
Gesterling in Chicago.

BEGINS v Ar
upon FAKE
MEDICINES
Government Causes
Many Arrests in
Chicago.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-The war Of the
Government on fake" medicines broke
out in Chicago to-day. Acting on evil
dence gathered by the authorities in
Washington and in other larger cities,
Federal detectives, assisted by the Chi
cago police, to-day made raids on
places where bogus drugs are said to
be made, confiscated four patrol wagon
loads of medicine" and arrested five
persons for misusing the mails. This
was the result of the Governments at
tack, which is said to be national in
scope, and likely 70 result in scores Of
arrests in different cities.
The evidence upon which the arrests
of to-day were made was based upon
a chemical analysis made by DR.. Virgil
Coblentz, professor at Columbia Uni
versity, at the request Of Government
authorities. He found that "triethy-
late" sold to druggists as a substitute
for "trional," a producing medi-
cine. acted as an irritant instead or
healing. This "doctored" drug was
being disposed of at cents an ounce,
while the genuine article sold for 81 80
an ounce.
An analysis Of aristol, sold as a sub
stitute for iodoform, proved that 1t con-
tained 75 per cent of fuller's earth, col
ored with iron rust.
.'There is no doubt that the use OF
these drugs has cost many lives" said
Inspector Campbell of Postal Inspector
Stuart's office. THE fraud extends
throughout the country

Startling Developments Follow the
Brutal Beating and Robbery of
Portland Woman.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 2s.-while
going home last evening at $50
o'clock, Miss Anna Gavin was choked
In q most brutal fashion and robbed
OF the contents Of her purse in front
OF the First Evangelical Church, near
her home on East Seventh street. To-
night the young woman's brother no.
tilted the police Of the disappearance
Of their brother, William Gavin. The
description Of the missing brother
and the brutal assailant are so similar
that after Gavin had finished his tale
Captain Moore Immediately inquired
whether William had not taken his
sisters money. The reply was halt
ing No"
A peculiar thing about the robbery
that attracted the attention of the de-
tectives was that the brutal robber re-
turned the purse of his victim after
removing the contents and she found
IL empty after regaining consciousness.
So convinced are the police of the
guilt OF William Gavin that when he
is found he viii be arrested on charge
OF assault on and robbery Of his sister.

Ira Reynolds, secretary and treasurer
of the Wade Park Banking Company,
refuses to make any statement con-
cerning the notes given by Mrs. Chad
wick to his bank as collateral and
which are also reported to bear the in
dorsement of Andrew Carnegie. There
is said to be possibility that the mo-
ton for the appointment of a receiver
to take charge of the securities,
amounting to $1,000 900, held in trust by
Ira Reynolds for Mrs. Chadwick will
not come to an argument. 1t was said
by one of the attorneys for Mrs. Chad
wick to-day that a continuance was
asked for in view of the negotiations for
a settlement. There is every evidence,
the attorneys say. that the affair will be
adjusted and that the appointment of
a receiver will not be necessary.

OBERLIN, Ohio, Nov 29.-It is stat
ed here to-day on what is believed to
be reliablesaut Aority that the amount
lent to Mr. G. L.StsL2aNick by the Cit
liens National Bank Of Oberlin, which
failed yesterday, was s240,O0O. This is
said to be exclusive of the 100000 lent
by President Beckwith and Cashier
Spear personally to Mrs. Chadwick.
A meeting of the directors of the
failed Citizens Bank was held to-
night. Director j. r. Randolph made
the startling announcement that the
signature on the collateral notes for
100000 and S250,00 on which Mrs
Chadwick was loaned money was not
worth a dollar. He said he had seen
the notes and they were not signed by
Andrew Carnegie; that such a story
was ridiculous. In his opinion, Ran
dolph said, the signature did not add
dollar to the value of the paper.

CALIFORNIA GAMECOCK
KILLS FOX IN DUEL
Sacramento Bird Resents Attempt by
an Eastern Reynard to Dine
Upon 1t.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. Nov 20
An example of the grit of the game
cock has been reported by Frank E.
Carroll, a farmer and bird fancier,
who lives between this city and Long
port. About three weeks ago he re-
ceived a fine gray gamecock from
Sacramento, Cal. Early this morning
Carroll was awakened by the loud
cackling of every fowl he owned. He
hurried to the barnyard. There lay
a large fox, dead, while the game
cock was vainly trying to free his
spurs from the head of the fox.
Carroll found that one of the birds s
spurs had penetrated the right eye of
the fox and entered the brain. The
thin wires in front of the coop where
the bird was kept were torn apart,
showing that the fox had endeavored
to make a meal of the gamecock,
which escaped and, flying at the fox,
managed to sink spur into its eye.
