THE WORLD LIFE'
EMPHASIZED BY PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT BEFORE CON.
GRESS OF SCIENTISTS.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 27.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt this afternoon receiv-
ed members Of the International
Congress of Arts and Sciences in the
east room of the White House.
In expressing his pleasure over the
meeting, the president said: perhaps
the happiest feature of our modern
world life is the steadily increasing
recognition of the fact that 1t must be
a world life; that no nation can hope
for the fullest development If 1t con-
fines itself exclusively within its own
boundaries; that progress must come
from a frank recognition of the fact
that each nation can help others and
can be helped by them. l feel that not
only do associations and gatherings
such as this mean much for the scien-
tific, artistic, intellectual development
of all nations taking part in them, but
feel, also, that these gatherings all
help to prepare the way for the time
when the great Ruler of right and
equity shall prevail among the nations
exactly as they now In highly civil
lied countries prevail among indiyid-
uals."

CUNNEENS' REPLY TO
y GOVERNOR ODELL
THE STATE MADE TO SERVE THE
PARTY.
A rerversion of Public Funds In a
Manner That Is Morally
eprehensibIe.

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 27.-Attorney
General Cunneen tonight issued q
statement in reply to one by Governor
Odell, in which the latter, in comment
ing on the Democratic state platform.
asked why, if there mad been abuses in
the administration of the state govern
ment, Attorney General Cunneen made
no protest.
81 have been in Albany less than two
years. says Mr.. Cunneen. "In that
time l have repeatedly advised Gov
ernor Odcll that appropriations of pub
lie money by the legislature were un-
authorized by the constitution but he
has ignored my advice and given such
appropriations his approval"
After citing several instances At
torney General Cunneen continues: "I
am convinced that Governor Odell Is
more disposed to make the state serve
his party than make his party serve
the state; that for this purpose Offices
have been multiplied, salaries have
been increased, the term of Office has
been extended and the administration
Of the government is becoming more
and more by special laws and under
which the people are more dependent
for favor upon the party in power
than they would be under general
laws"
After citing further instances of the
creation of unnecessary boards, and
similar acts, the statement says: "The
matters l have referred to are motor
ious. They appear by the public rec
ords of the state. They constitute
perversion of public funds in a manner
morally reprehensible."

age Case Cause Amusement.
Horse Thief Sent to
Reformatory.


Attorney Maneval, who is one of the
counsel for Mrs. Emma Chamberlain in
her suit against Drs. Myers and Cham
berlain for damages, stirred things up
in court room No / yesterday by an
attack upon the doctors. The court
room was full of the medical fraternity,
but none of the members of the pro-
fession took the attack seriously. They
smiled and laughed at his sallies and
even the jurors in the box smiled at
the oratory, wit and sarcasm. He re-
ferred to DR.. Marchand as the big good
looking fellow. He claimed they were
all standing together and working
against DR.. Exline because of little
trouble over the use of a telephone.
Doctors are good deal like human
beings" said Maneval, with infinite
irony. Some are good and others
notoriously bad" Picking up a receipt
he held it high above his head and
said:
Here is something that speaks loud
er than Gabriels trumpet, when he
stood with one foot upon the waters and
the other upon the land. The idea of a
trumpet with feet struck the crowd as
rather ludicrous and the application
was lost. His principal argument was
against the profession generally. He
claimed that the two defendant doc
tors had allowed the patient to get in
condition within six days of death,
and that their neglect was the cause
of the condition of the limb.
The testimony OF DR.. Mcdonald, of
East Palestine was referred to in the
argument. He claimed to have had in
his practice in that country town 20
cases of broken knee caps. The local
doctors expressed disbelief of this,
claiming that it was impossible for any
one man in a country town to have
seen so many cases OF this injury.

Through the MaiIs--Asvesf
Caused Sensation
PROMINENT CHURCH
Ana Society Citizen Victim of Uncle Sanp's hu-
specfors--- Taken To Cleveland To Ans
Wer the Charge.

A sensation was created in Canton
Tuesday afternoon by the arrest of
Willard J. Frost, local agent for the
New York Life Insurance company
upon the charge Of sending articles
through the mails contrary to the pos.
tai laws. This he did under the name
Of the Canton Importing and Specially
company, the articles being certain
contraband rubber goods. The penalty
for the crime is from one to five years
In the penitentiary.
WAS A SURPRISE.
Frost's arrest was a surprise for the
reason that his best friends had no
suspicion that he was engaged in the
trade, and he has been an especially
active member of the United Brethren
church of this city since he came here
from Uhrichsville about year and a
half ago. He was a teacher in the
Sunday school and held several prom
lnent positions in the various church
departments.
AT FAIR GROUNDS.
The arrest was made by United
States Marshal Chandler of Cleve-
land about 4 o'clock yesterday. Frost
was found at the fair grounds, where
he was engaged in grinding coffee, he
being one of the committee Of his
church that was giving meals at the
fair grounds during the fair to aid in
raising money for the payment Of the
church debt. When the officer placed
the man under arrest he was greatly
surprised and
SHOWED AGITATION
He wanted to go to his home and
bid his wife good bye, but this was de-
MED him. He was hurried to the sts,
tion and then to Cleveland, where he
will be arraigned before the United
oldtSo COult
Frost did not deny the charge. He
claimed, however, that he had not sold
any of the goods since last January
for the reason that the business did
not prove profitable. There Is no law
against selling the goods, but there
is law against sending them through
the mails or using the mails to adver-
tise them. Mrs. Frost was notified
of the arrest by friends and Is said
TO BE HEARTBROKEN
over the affair. They have one child,
little boy.
