If BEDFORD HAD LIVED.
Witness Says 1t Would Not Look So
Rosy for Thaw.

Pittsburg, July lit has been
learned here that witness that will
appear in the Thaw case will be Paul
Dorm of Wilkesbarre, a suburb Of this
city. Harry Thaw took Dorm to Eu-
rope several years ago.
Dorm said that he has been instruct
ed to keep close counsel until he
hears from Thaw's attorneys. When
asked when he expected to go to New
York Dorm said:
II don't know. But I am ready to
60 wherever Mrs. Thaw is willing to
give me an interview and I won't talk
either in the court or out of it until I
have seen her"
"Did you ever meet Bedford, the
valet whom Harry Thaw engaged at
Southampton
Eyes, did, and it is too bad that
Bedford died..
Dorm was asked what he meant by
that and replied:
well, he was a good fellow and if
he had lived and had to tell all the
things he knew it would not look so
rosy for Harry Thaw."

ROJESTVENSkY ACQUITTED.
Held to Be Not in His Full Senses
When He Surrendered to Japs.


Cronstadt, Russia, July 11-Admiral
Rojestvensky, whose trial on the
charge of surrendering to the enemy
after the battle of the Sea of Japan
began before courtmartial here July
4, has been acquitted after the court
had deliberated for nearly ten hours.
Four officers of the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Bedovi, who were placed on
trial with the admiral, were found
guilty of having premeditatively sur
rendered the Bedovi and all four
were condemned to death by shooting.
But on account of extenuating circum-
stances the emperor will be requested
to commute the sentences of the four
officers to dismissal from the service
and to be deprived of certain rights
which they would otherwise enjoy.
The full report of the courtmartial
shows that Admiral Rojestvensky was
acquitted on the ground that he was
not in his full senses and therefore
was not accountable for what trans
pired at the time of the surrender.

A MISSOURI COUNTY IDEA,
Novel Method of Encouraging Road
Improvement.

Improvement.
Among the unique methods of pro-
noting interest in good roads is that
adopted by citizens Of Saline county in
Missouri, says Walter Williams in the
st. Louis Globe Democrat. From Mar
shall, the county seat, has been mailed
to the farmers of Saline county a circu-
lar letter setting forth the plan. The
plan proposes to assemble at Marshall
on a certain day all the farmers who
get their mail at that town. They are
asked to bring with them each a drag
and team of horses. The farmers thus
assembled are to be divided into
groups, and each group Is to drag and
otherwise improve that day from three
to five miles Of county road leading
into the town Of Marshall The citi-
zens Of Marshall are to supply assist
ance in money, teams and otherwise.
It is expected that much road improve
ment will be accomplished by this one
days united work.
AS an added inducement, a photo
graph Is to be taken of the thousand
farmers and their teams who are look
ed for in Marshall on that day. This
will be taken in sections four feet by
eleven inches in size, and copy Of the
photograph will be furnished free to
every participant in the road dragging.
It will be called "The Good Roads
Legion Of Honor" and the promoters
of the plan say it will be the most won
derful photograph ever taken in the
state of Missouri.

ISOLATED BY MUD.
A Journey Over Some Country Roads
In the West.

In the West.
A writer for paper who recently
TOOK a journey by wagon in western
state describes the condition Of the
roads in certain county as follows:
Whenever we passed a farmhouse
some man would come out to see the
time of day. They all had leisure to
burn, it seemed, during these gloomy,
muddy days. Near creek where the
bottoms were yet flooded farmer
said ours was the first wheeled craft
that had been along that road in some
time. He said he had lived in those
parts thirty-one years and this was
the first season he had ever been COM
pletely marooned. But for the loyal
mail carrier the world would have
been nearly thirty days ahead of him.
THE mud coiled up stubbornly on
the wheels, ever increasing like roll

driver and his passenger had to get

Thaw in the Tombs prison Tuesday
night gave out his first formal state
ment since he shot and killed Stan
ford White on the Madison Square
roof garden In it the young man ut
ters a protest against being regarded
p Insane and declares his counsel as
sure him that no such course as the
appointment of commission to in
quire into his mental condition is con-
templated The statement was hand
ed by Thaw in person to newspaper
representatives. He gave it out with
the permission of his counsel, with
whom he pleaded all day to be allowed
to deny in person the current reports
as to his insanity The statement
follows:
II am informed by Mr.. Olcott and
Mr. Gruber that the interview with the
latter in one of last evenings papers
quoting him (Gruber) to the effect
that I am now insane and that a
1unatic commission would be appoint
ed to demonstrate that fact, has no
foundation whatever; that Mr.. Gruber
never made such a statement and
that no such course is contemplated.
"Mr Olcott further tells me that he
did not go to Philadelphia for the pur-
pose of seeing or inquiring about
Harriet Thaw or her alleged insanity;
and that his visit had nothing what
ever to do with the question of my
mental condition or that of any mem
Der of my family"
The statement was signed with the
initials III. K IT,
Embodies All He Has to Say.
When asked if he had anything fur
Their to remark, Thaw said: THAT
statement embodies all that have to
say"
Judge Olcott, leading counsel for
ThaW, when asked about the prisoners
statement, said:
Harry has been Fostering me all
day to make statement to the news
papers. Finally at his request I out
lined in a general way what Harry
wished to say and left it with him to
be typewriter. 1t was his desire that
he should hand it in personally to the
newspaper men and I gave him that
permission"
Despite the rapid fire questions
hurled at him by the reporters Thaw
remained smilingly non-committal dur
ing the four or five minutes he was
with the press representatives
Assistant District Attorney Caravan

inquiries and had before him several
prospective witnesses. Among them
were James l.. Lederer of Philadel-
phia, who was manager of the wild
Rose theatrical company at the time

organization; May Mackenzie, an &C.
tress and friend of Mrs Thaw, and
Mary Leahy, Mrs. Thaw's maid.
Mr.. Leaderer said that it is his be-
lief that Thaw is razy. He based his
opinion on the mans actions during
the time Miss Nesbit was a member
of the wild Rose" company.
The district attorneys office issued
a subpoena for Mrs Beatrice Schwartz
to appear in John Doe proceedings be-
fore the grand jury. 1t is said the

Use of Steam Road Ro1lern.

In reply to an inquiry by W. Pierre
pont White, county superintendent Of
Utica, N. Y, as to the practical value
Of using on billy roads and operating
the steam roller and road scraper to-
gether County Superintendent F. G.
Douglass of Canandaigua has given
the result Of his experience in the fol-
lowing letter, says the Good Roads
Magazine:
William Pierrepont White. Esq. Utica:
Dear Sir-Your letter Of yesterday re-
ceived and would say that we have never
had any trouble working the Buffalo roll
er on any hills that we have in this town.
In regard to hauling road scraper with
steam roller I would say that we always
use the steam roller as far as possible to
both scrape and turnpike our roads for
the reason that the work performed with
the steam roller Is vastly better and very
much cheaper. AS to the comparative
cost of doing such work with teams or
steam roller, will submit the following:
Engineer, one day. $3.50
Two laborers, one day.................3 $50
Coal and oil. one day.....................1 .50
Iotai $3.50
One laborer. one day................. II
Comparing the above figures shows a
saving In favor of the work done with
steam roller of s6.8 per day, which can be
applied to cost OF roller, besides having
the work done In better shape than can
possibly be done In any other way Very
truly yours. r. q. DOUGLASS.

MODERATES NOT PLEASED
Manifesto Issued attacking Atti-
tude of the NediatOrS.

Havana. Oct. 1.-The executive committee of
the Moderate party has issued manifesto
strongly inferring that the American commits
sion is TO blame for intervention. 1t sum-
marzes the attitude of the party eulogizes ex-
President Palma, reiterates the legality of the
last elections and denies all responsibility for
the revolution and the results thereof. The
manifesto asserts that the bases presented by
President Roosevelt's commissioners were prac-
tically the same as those submitted by the Lib
erals.
In justification of their action in deserting
Congress the Moderate leaders say that inter-
vention was then already an accomplished fact.
They object TO the intimation of the American
commissioners that the retention of the Presi-
dency by Senior Palma was the only possible So
luton to bring about result other than inter
Vention, and they say furthermore, that they
were not able to attend Congress whose powers
had been declared inegitimate
The document says also that the American
commissioners in order to back their erroneous
