Presidents Friend" Hesitates.

Weeks ago, before the success Of
the peace conference was fOreSeen, and
when the president himself expressed
his thought as one Of hope, not one OF Of
Mr.. Roosevelt's future with one of his
closest and most confidential friends.
"The president is absolutely sin
cere,' said this gentleman, who had
within the week been Mr.. Roosevelt,s
guest for several days and nights; He
means precisely what he says. There
is no string to his declaration. He
will live up to it to the limit Of his
power. He will throw all his energy
into maintenance of his pledge. No
one shall ever be able to accuse him
Of ,indirection or of acting part.
"You pause said I to the presi-
dents friend. ''Please 90 on
"Well, if the president retains his
wonderful popularity, if he makes a
success of the peace conference, if he
goes thru the next three years without
making any serious blunder, I believe
the people of the United States, almost
regardless of party, will rise up and
if they do so, if the demand is genuine
and hearty and representative of the
will Of the majority Of the people, I
do not see how any living man can re-
sist it..
'I cannot speak for the president.
But I know him we'll. He believes it
to be the duty Of every American to
obey the voice of the people. He took
the vice-presidential nomination, not
because he wanted it, but because he
told me and his other friends that no
man has the right to, dictate to his
party or to the people what they shall
do. It is for the people to command,
for the Individual to obey. That is
his philosophy. And I anticipate that
three years hence Mr.. Roosevelt is to
be tried as American public man never
before was-tried by popular COM
mand that he retract his own volun-
tary PLEDGE

AUDITORIUM SELECTED
FOR REGISTRATION

AT noon today the committee ap-
pointed TO select a location for the
registry Offices closed a contract with
Manager Jesse B. Boyer for the use
Of the Auditorium during the 2
days Of the registration
The selection Of the Auditorium
will doubtless meet with general ap-
proyal. and. as Inspector George c.
Hunt was highly pleased with it as
a probable location OF the Offices,
doubtless the federal officials who
will come to conduct the registra-
tiou will also be satisfied.
Owing 10 the fact that the Audi
torium is centrally located and thar
il has the largest floor space Of any
one building in the city it is in ey-
cry way an admirable place for the
registration TO be conducted. The
entrances TO the big building are
large and we'll arranged, and the big
stream OF people that will pour into
the building every day during the
hours OF registration will be easily
handled.
The committee had two other To-
cations under consideration, but de-
cided that the Auditorium was the
ideal place. and. as they We're able
70 secure it on satisfactory terms. the
contract was closed.

R. |. COMP ANY
REFUSED A
new TRIAL

The appellate division OF the supreme
court has granted plaintiffs motion TO
dismiss defendants petition for new
trial in-the case of Edward A. King VS..
Rhode Island Company. This decision
is a very important one as not only is a
judgment OF s3,0O0 against the defend
ant sustained. but the law in regard to
assessment of damages in cases where
liability Is admitted is quite fully passed
upon.
In this case the following course was
followed: When the case was reached
on the trial calendar OF the day. to which
it had been assigned, the defendant. in
order to avoid a trial upon the merits
OF the action. and TO leave open only
the question OF damages voluntarily SUBJ
mitted to judgment by default and the
case was continued for assessment OF
damages Afterwards the damages were
assessed by the court with the inter-
vention of jury, under provisions OF
General Laws, r.. /. Cap. 243 section S.
The defendant objected to such assess
ment for the reason that IL did not con-
form to the requirements of the statute
relative TO defaulted cases and moved
that the case be sent to the justice as
signed TO the common pleas division at
this session I'm Chambers. under pro-
visions OF Cap. 23S. section 8.
The opinion is per curiam and In IL this
language IS used: 1.-THE circumstances or
the case indicate that II was not one to
which Gen. Laws Cap. 23S section should
have been applied, but was within the
provisions OF Gen. Laws Cap. 243 sec. ).
x4n&o-
The former prescribes the manner OF pro-
cceding before Judgment in unanswered
irso facto defaulted cases; while the latter
rclates to the assessment OF damages. In
cuses of default for failure OF the defend
AIT to appear and PLEAD, judgment Is To
be entered after exparte motion under
Gen. Laws, Cap. 246 sec. 1, and such cases
properly go TO the Judge I'm chambers for
hearing on the motion After such hearing
and Judgment thereon. there is nothing to
prevent the Judge from making disposal
OF tho case by assigning the same for as
sessment or damages by tire eottrt, with
or without the Intervention OF jury, in
ITS discretion. In case OF default i'm an
svered cases n judgment will be entered
fc~ the plaintiff OF course and the case ~
then ready for assessment or damages
without reference To the court in cham
bers.
IL Is. however. wholly within the discre-
tion OF the trial Judge TO determine
whether he will then and there assess the
damages, with or without jury, or con-
ti.Iue the same until more convenient
tine or place, there to be disposed of. and
