STANDARD OIL MAN
DENIES THAT HE EVER GOT 49,.
100000 IN A FRAUDULENT
MANNER.

Boston, Mass, Oct. 1o.-Henry H.
Rogers, defendant in a suit brought by
Receiver Pepper of the Bay State Gas
company of Delaware, filed his answer
today in the United States circuit
court. The action is brought to reach
fund of S3,000,000 that Rogers is al.
legged to have received fraudulently
from the sale of his stock in the
Brookline and Dorchester Gas Light
company to the New England Gas and
Coke company. Rogers denies that he
has done anything in violation of his
trust as one of the trustees OF the
Bay State Gas Co., of Delaware; that
whatever he did was known to the
Delaware company and that If it had
any occasion to complain, it is guilty
of laches, (neglect.)
He also denies that he was a party
to any arrangement for a transfer OF
the control of the Boston companies
to the Coke company. He admits he
gave an option to H. M. Whitney for
the sale of his stock in the Dorchester
and Brookline companies and he sold
the same for $4,000 900 but denies that
he received $3,OOOOOO or any sum in
addition for the purpose alleged or
"for another purpose"

Question of Finances.

New York. Oct. 10.-The first day Of
Judge Parker's visit to New York was
taken up largely with talks to leaders
in several states who called upon him
at the Hotel Seville.
About noon his first visitor. former
United States Senator Rufus Blodgett
of Long Branch, N. j., came to dis
Cuss the situation in that state. He
brought an encouraging report anent
the gubernatorial outlook, telling
Judge Parker that the Democratic
nominee, Black, stands an excellent
chance of election. National ticket
prospects in Jersey were also weighed
but neither party to the conference
would divulge what was said. Later,
however, a national committeeman on
his way from the apartments of the
presidential nominee said: Were still
claiming Jersey. The situation there
is maturing to our complete satisfac-
tion."
This afternoon several Democratic
stump speakers came around to consult
the candidate.
National Chairman Thomas Taggart
and National Treasurer George Foster
Peabody called tonight. Mr.. Taggart
is going west at the end of the week
to look into affairs in two or three
doubtful states. Whether he will stay
there until election could not be found

appeal for money brought forth better
results than most former efforts though
another plea to patriotic Democrats
will be made within two weeks.

CUTTING OUT CANTEEN
is BLAMED FOR LARGE NUMBER
OF DESERTIoNS OF UNITED
STATES SOLDIERS.

Washington, d. c.. Oct. 10.-Lieut.
Colonel Dun. Judge advocate general
Of the department Of Colorado, in a
report to the secretary of war today,
attributes the large number of deser-
tions to the abolition Of the canteen.
He says:
"These desertions can be in large
part attributed to the malign influences
of saloons and brothels. situated near
the reservations, seducing enlisted
men from the paths of decency. This
is only another Of the many arguments
in favor of restoring to the army the
canteen, which provided places Of
amusement and social intercourse,
where men could get light refresh
ments under restraining, decent and
orderly influences"
