Roosevelt Duped by Holmes.

Washington, June 19.-In the trial of Edwin s. Holmes, Jr, formerly asso- ciate statistician in the agricultural department, for divulging cotton crop reports to New York brokers L. c. Van Riper, the principal witness against Holmes, told how, as he alleged, Holmes once befooled President Roose- velt There had been a recurrence of the rumor of a leak in the department -one that Secretary of Agriculture Will son had many times silenced by stren- uous denials-and Holmes went to the White House to give the president a demonstration that would convince him that there was no truth in the rumor. He was able, Van Riper said, to con vince MT. Roosevelt that it was impos- sible for advance information to get out of the bureau of statistics and was congratulated by the president on the efficacy of his system. This demonstra- ton took place, witness said, in De- cember, 1903.

 Trenton N. J., June 19.-Recognizing that public sentiment required that the Republican party in New Jersey must demand the retirement from the high office of secretary of state of Colonel Samuel Dickinson, Governor Stokes held a secret conference with Dickin- son in the statehouse and asked his resignation forthwith
 The governor made it plain to Dick inson that his withdrawal of his suit for $10OO00 damages against Mayor Mark Pagan of Jersey City for alleged defamation of character was accepted by the public as a confession of guilt on the charges that he had a residence in New York city, where he lived with Mrs. Joel Corey and with whom he sailed to Europe two years ago.
 Dickinson is said to have told the governor he was the only person who demanded his retirement and that he would not resign. The accused secrer tary of state, it is said, was told he had until today to resign or the gov ernor would make public a statement rehearsing the charges made by Mayor Pagan and reciting the fact that Dick inson's resignation had been demanded.

state desired simply to show by the witness that there was a confession.
 The defense continued to fight hard the introduction of this line of testi- mony. The court was inclined to give much latitude to the examination, bud finally sustained an objection to the introduction of the subject matter of the conversation betw8en Adams, Or chard, Hawley and Senator Borah.
 Max MaIich Mentioned.
 When Orchard took the stand it was made evident that the defense pro- poses to bring a number of witnesses to prove that Orchard had for years nursed atvengeful spite against Steu- nenberg and had repeatedly made threats against him.
 ''Do you know Max Malich of Den ver?' asked Richardson
 "Yes, sir.''
 ''Did you in June or July of 1905 say to Max Malich, you and he being alone, that you were going to kill Steunen- berg even if you had to swing for it?''
 ''No, sir. I never had any such con- versation."
 Did you say that Steunenberg was mean and that had it not been for Steunenberg you would have been a millionaire, because you had owned a sixteenth share of the Hercules mine and that Steunenberg had driven you out of the state?"
 "No," said the witness.
 MT Richardson asked him if he knew Lottie Day. of Denver and of meeting her in room at the Belmont hotel and telling her that he intended to kill Steunenberg. This also the wit ness denied.
