Danville. Va, Nov. 22.-Rome T.. Chand-
Ter was convicted yesterday in the United
States District Cour OF sending obscene
letters through the mails TO prominent
society girls Of Virginia, and was SEN
fenced to three years in the penitentiary.
Judge Mcdowell said only the failing

The women waited outside until court
adjourned and followed Judge Mcdowell

ROOSEvELT'S
INFLUENCE
FOR GOOD

New York. Nov. 2.-The Chamber of
Commerce held it's 18th annual banquet
last night I'm Delmonico's. Morris X. Jes-
sup, president OF the Chamber. presided.
The first toast OF the evening was to
the president OF the United States and
this was followed by a toast to the Sihg
Of England. Then followed the toast
England and America" to which Joseph
Choat responded. Mr.. Choate said, among
other things:
II think that during the last week
there was a demonstration In this city
and country that must carry home to
the minds OF our friends across the water
the conviction that the peace that exists
between these two countries can never be
broken
1T Is upon the united action OF these
two great nations in peaceful employ
ments that the peace of the whole world
depends, and we did not too freely Law
ish upon the visitors who have just left
our shores demonstrations OF affection
from all Of the people who came in con-
tact with them"
Referring to the entertainment of the
Chamber OF Commerce at a banquet in
Londo by the London Chamber OF Com
merce Mr.. Choate said:
1T was at that banquet that Lord
Lansdowne uttered this sentiment: The
president OF the United States will. in
the years that lie before US, be not only in
his own country. but In the world, "a pc
tent influence for peace and for the good
OF the human race
within a few short weeks after the
utterance OF that sentiment the presi-
dent OF the United States fell by the
hand OF AN assassin. But the king never
dies and the president never dies, and
what he said on that occasion has been
exemplided with marvellous force by the
example Of our present president.
Now, truly. he has been a potent in
huence for the good OF the race. Seldom
does IL fall TO the lot of any man. en-
peror, king or president, TO render man
kind the services that Il has been his
great and good fortune to n during
the last year.
when the part that he had in bring
ing that terrible war TO an end Is re-
alized-if It ever does become fully known
lit will be seen that he deserves the
name Of p~eacemake- as the greatest of
all his times"
Mr.. Choate lamented the absence from
the high seas Of the American flag and
said he hoped that the voice OF the cham
Der would be potent I'm demanding that
something be done TO restore the dag TO

spending to the toast Our United Coun

the world. No partisan prejudice should
withhold from the president the Just hon.
age, for his diplomacy so beneicently ex-
erted In ending the bloody struggle in the
orient.
W have recently demonstrated that
in the presence OF q foreign foe our coun-
try encounters no divisions, and e does
not strain confidence nor tempt imagina-
ton TO predict hat should a greater foe
break upon our shores there would spring
UP IN our midst a patriotism so solid and

HYSTERICS
FROM MOUSE
IN HAT

Marion. o., Nov. 22.-Sister Wallace
Wynn, wearing a hat that had been in
a band-box during the week. occupied a
pew in the centre OF Wesleyan Avenue
church. She did not know that a mouse
had made its nest between the lining and
the crown OF the hat.
Scientists have long known the aversion
OF mice 10 music. This particular mouse
submitted TO the opening anthem n was
undemonstrati tive during the offertory UNI
till the organist pulled out the diapson

As the rumbling basso notes filled the
church the mouse soueaked and scamper-

screamed and tore at her hair. The braids
coma down. the mouse dropped 20 the
moor and Mrs. Wynn tainted.
Occupants Of nearby pews caught sight
OF the mouse. Women throughout the
congregation seemed TO know intuitively
what was the matter and several became
hysterical. The Rev. Dr. G. r. Rowley re-
stored order with great difficulty and pro-
ceeded with the sermon.

Joseph Letter and Cyrus Field Judson.
The plaintiffs claim that the three men
were In a pool In the spring OF 1902 to
manipulate International Power stock and
became indebted for the money.
The account with the brokers stood in
Judson's name, but he says he was
operating for the pool. Hoadley and

Mr.. Mooney insisted that the bookkeep-
ers who made tho transfers were the
proper witnesses and Justice Bowling sus-
tanned him.

aed that they were no longer IN Joseph
