RoosEVELT's SIDE OF IT
Nay Have Received Mason, hut Is
Sure He Gave No Expression
of Sympathy.

Washington, Jan. "A statement in
cable dispatches from London that
President Roosevelt has EXPRESSED his
hearty sympathy" with the liberal par
ty in Great Britain induces no direct
statement from the president. While
the president probably received d. N.
Mason, the candidate for the British
parliament, who referred to his
friendly interview" with the presi
dent, no recollection of Mr. Masons
call is entertained by either the presi-
dent or officials at the White House.
The president makes it plain, how
ever, that he gave to nobody an ex-
preston of sympathy with any polit-
ical party of Great Britain, or with the
candidates of any party.

MRS. HILL HAS AN ANSWER
Attorney General of Illinois Ex-
plains Why Military Can Not BE
Used Against Saloons,

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. An answer
to Mrs. Emily l.. Hill, president of the
Cook county w, G. 7, u, who asked
Gov. Deneen why he could not use the
military forces of the state to close
the saloons violating the closing laws,
Atty.-Gen. Stead has written an opin-
ion, saying in part:
"Dramshops are regulated by the
same laws that govern assault and bat
terry, larceny AID other cases, and it
would clearly be out Of the province
of the governor to call out the troops
to enforce these laws. The fault lies
with the people themselves for the
non-enforcement of these laws, by rea-
son of the people electing officers who
will not enforce them"

WHAT DOUGAtRTY STOLE
EXPERT SCORES THE PEORIA
SCHOOL BOARD
Even Ordinary Diligence Would
Have Prevented rtagc-Bunk
and Board Members Liable.

Peoria, H., Jan. 4.-The report of
defalcations of NJ c. Dougherty was
made public at a meeting of the school
! board. The total shortage for seven
years is $541, 40S, from which will be
deducted approximately $4,000 for I'M
| authorized but warranted Expenditures.
Everett gave it as his opinion that the
total shortage for eighteen years would
fall slightly short of 1000 900, stat
ing that large amounts of forged script
had been found in 1887 and 1889, but
no totals or estimates on these years
had yet been made.
The report scores the officers of the
board, the treasurers and presidents
especially, the fianance and auditing
committees and the members of the
board individually.
Everett declares that if the board or
any of its officers, had used even or
binary diligence in the performance of
their duty the mulcting of the fund
would have been impossible, and that
the members of the board are individ-
ually liable for all shortage which can
not be collected from Dougherty and
the Peoria national bank.
The report shows that $532, 900 of
the shortage was directly manipulated
by the cashing of fictitious script
through the Peoria national bank, of
which N. c. Dougherty was president.
1t declares that the bank is liable for
every cent of this amount, and the
board, on the strength of the report,
elected Judge David Mccullough to act
as attorney in recovering from the
bank, instructing him to enjoin the
bank from further payment of divi-
dends or other disbursements until the
claim of the board should be adjusted
in the courts
Senator Orville Berry, of Carthage,
receiver for the bank, was present at
the meeting and announced that he
would fight in the courts the attempt
to hold the bank liable.

wherein he afterwards concluded that
his decision had been erroneous, ana
in consequence he paid to the losing
side the amount which they had suf-

As rare as that suhlimated conception

Pulaski years ago by gentleman who,
