NOT T"NATURE FAKIR"
Long, Challenging President,
 Says Stories Are True.
FABLE Ayr READY TO GIVE PROOFS"
Amrms That Wild Animal Tales of "Northern Trail," Called Absurd by Roosevelt, Are From Real
 Life In Woods.

STAMFORD, Conn.,, May 29.-Wil- liam J. Long has made public an open letter he wrote to President Roosevelt which adds an interesting chapter to their mature fakir' controversy In part it is as follows:
 "The issue between you and me is no longer one of animals, but of men. It is not chiefly matter of natural history, but of truth, of personal honor. "As president of the United States you have gone out of your way pub licly to injure a public citizen who was attending strictly to his own business.
 "As man you have accused of false hood another man whose ideas of truth and honor are quite as high as your own.
 If have spoken falsely, if in any book or word of mine I have inten- tionally deceived any child or man re- garding animal life, I promise publicly to retract every such word and never to write another animal book.
 Dr. Long submits an affidavit to sus- tain the truth of the story President Roosevelt calls mathematical impos- sibility, and he continues:
 If show to any disinterested per son that you have accused me falsely you must publicly withdraw your ac- cusation and apologize. As man and as president no other honorable course is open to you. You base your recent charges chiefly on the matter of big white wolf killing, young caribou by a bite in the chest, described by me in Northern Trails.'
 You declare the thing to be math- ematical impossibility and declare not possibly could wolf perform the feat"
 Dr. Long declares he knows from his own observation and from the testi- mony of Indians that wolves do some times kill in this way and then quotes the signed and witnessed statement of s. J. Hapidan, an educated Sioux In- dian, who states he saw a horse which a wolf had killed by tearing its chest. In addition to this Dr. Long says he himself had seen deer which had been slain in this manner by a wolf and further recites that his In- dian, Maty Mitchell of Borry bay. Newfoundland, declares that the big white wolf frequently kills caribou in this manner.
 You cannot at this stage. Mir. Roose- welt, take refuge behind the presiden- tial office and be silent. You have for feited your right to that silence by breaking 1t by coming out in public to attack private citizen.
 If your talk of square deai is not all sham, if your frequent moral preaching is not all hypocrisy, I call upon you as president and as man to come out and admit the error and in- justice of your charge In the same open and public way In which you made it."

1.-THE ISLE OF BONG BoNG.'


 The above musical comedy Is in it. self all that one could wish for in that line. It is arranged prettily and unique ly and the musical numbers are catchy and the scenic effects the most desirable and beautiful. Every bit of the makeup of the whole comedy is cleverly done and with good con- pany certainly would capture any au- dience by storm. But there was not a good company presenting it last night, that is all were not good. Some of the best songs and choruses were spoiled in their effect because Of the lack of good singers. Some of the drills and dances were excellently done. There was a little horse play al times too that could well be eliminated but the unique way in which some of the scenes were worked In and the clever manner in which they were enacted caught the spectators for its novelty alone. This was particularly true of the cowboy scene, San Antonio" One of the sweetest songs in the whole production Bohemia was rendered tiresome because of the singer not be- ing equal to the demand made upon him. The entertainment seemed to please, however, and there were many bright and interesting features cot- nected with it. It is one of the most deliberately staged and costumed pro- ductions that has been seen in the local theater John W. Ransome, featured as the German comedian, made one of the best hits of the evening and while at times he drifted Into some of the old Rogers brothers battle scared jokes, as whole his wo:R was gen timely pleasing and clever.

Four Arrest. In Trunk Mystery.

NEW YORK, May 29.-Though four men were arrested in New Jersey yes terday on suspicion of being the fugl- lives sought in the case of the murder of Father Caspar vartanian, the Ar. menian priest whose body was found in a trunk on last Sunday at 333 West Thirty seventh street, the case against them failed quickly.

RATE WAR IN CALIFORNIA.
Companies Operating Between Los An
egles And Frisco Will War To End.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug THAT
the slashing OF freight rates by the
steamship companies operating vessels
between Los Angeles and San Francisco
did not end as cut out was demonstra,
ted when the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company announced a new schedule
which will 90 into effect Sunday.
The new rate is to 3 cents lower
than the one announced Tuesday. The
notice of the new rates was telephoned
to Los Angeles by the general freight
agent at San Francisco.
When asked ii they would meet the
new rate, the district freight agent OF
the Independent Company stated that
they were here to stay and would con-
tinue to haul freight.
The present schedule makes it pmch-
cally impossible for either company tt
operate at profit, as the railroads
charge 10 cents for hauling the freight
to the wharves, leaving the steamship
companies six cents with which to de-
fray the expenses OF hauling the freight
Both companies state that they ar
in the field to stay and will keep up thu
fight to the end.
