THE BERLIN LIBEL SUIT.
ALI Europe Intensely Interested In
Amazing Scandals Disclosed

Special Cablegram to The Star
LONDON, October 26.-It would b. diff
fcult to describe the effect throughout
Europe of the amazing scandals disclosed
in the Berlin libel suit of Count Won
Moltke against Editor Harden. The
worst feature of the case is the extraor-
dinary degree of license assumed by the
press in printing the details of the evil
dence. Never, perhaps. in the history
of journalism in any country has such a
mass of offensive matter been spread be-
fore newspaper readers of all classes
So far as is known there is no public
protest against this action of the news
papers, which is not only taken as a
matter of course. but the demanI for
every scrap of evidence seems wel-nigh
universal. Even the respectable portion
Of the London newspapers reproduces
columns of evidence which no American
paper would venture to offer to its read
ers by publishing. This case, In fact,
furnishes d significant demonstration that
yellow journalism in Great Britain and
Europe is held In check only by fear of
the libel laws and when disgusting mat
ter becomes technically privileged under
the proceedings OF a law court then the
European press becomes far more yellow
than the worst American offender.
On the other hand 1t cannot be denied
that this notorious case demands Ger
tain amount of worldwide publicity. 1t
involves the highest social and official
circles in the proudest court of Europe.
1t is said to be IN some degree the out
come of the arrogant miltar!sm which
dominates these circles, and the effect
of these exposures upon the German
proletariat is likely to be of great po-
ltical Importance.

NOT BOOMING ANY ONE
REPRESENTATIVE KENNEDY
ON HIS PITTsBURG SPEECH.

Representative Kennedy of Ohio, who
was accused of making a Taft speech at
the opening of the campaign in Pitsburg
last week. gave out last night a state
ment defending himself and explaining
why he spoke at Pittsburg as he din
The statement is significant just at this
time, because Mr.. Kennedy had a long
talk with the President Friday. and did
not decide to say anything until after he
had left the White House.
Mr. Kenredy's statement in part is as
follows:
My attention has been called to an in
terview given out in Washington a few
days ago by "a personal friend of Senator
Knox, commenting upon my recent speech
in Pittsburg. which l have read with in
terest and considerable amusement.
There was no intention while making g
the speech which has excited SO much
comment of booming any one for Presi-
dent. l never mentioned Secretary Taft S
name once in the speech, nor do l feel
that | should be criticised for omittng
Senator knox's name. Both of the speak
ers who preceded me pronounced glowing
panegyricS on Senator Knox. in which
fully acquiesced Those laudatory ex-
pressons fell upon the immense audience
as cold as wagon tre-Wh1ch by the
way is the coldest piece of ironm ongery
of which l have any knowledge-and l,
feeling kindly toward the senator had Ii
not in my heart to repeat the cruelty.
I'm what ! said about the earnest peo-
pie Of this country feeling better satisfied
to have President Roosevelt name his
successor than to name him themselves
there was no idea upon my part to counsel
or advise the American people to abdicate
their high duty and responsibility as cleo
tors, nor did / intend to suggest to them
TO submit to dictation by any one /
wanted simply to voice the widespread
feeling of distrust which / believe to be
almost universal-the distrust that makes
us feel that in this great crisis we know
not whom to trust.
This personal friend of Senator Knox
ought to know and probably does know
that in my Pittsburg speech l doomed no
man for President. l had the temerity,
however, 10 utter the conviction that the
next President must be a strong, earnest
advocate of certain policies
Il know nothing of any conspiracy of
Pennsylvania politicians to launch q Taft
boom in Senator knoX's home city, and
desire to say that nobody suggested to
me the line which | should follow in my
speech, and no man was more amazed
than myself that my unqualified praise of
the President and his administration
should be by the friend of Senator Knox
and some Of the EeWSDaDe Of the east
deemed unfriendly to Senator knox's as

PRAISE FOR Mr.. CORTELYO
PRESIDENT CONGRATULATES
SECRETARY OF TREASURY.

President Roosevelt had his first word
afternoon. Wien he gave out a letter he
wrote to Secretary Cortelyou praising
the head of the Treasury and the "conser
valve and substantial business men" who
helped to stem the incipient panic. The
letter may be of much more significance
than shows on its face. 1t is as follows:
The White House. Washington.
October %, 1907.
my Dear Mr. Cortelyou:
Il congrat ul tie yoi upca the admirable
way In which you have handled the pres
ent crisis. / congratulate also those con-
servative and substantial business men
who in this crisis have acted with such
wisdom and public spirit. By their action
they did Invaluable service in checking
the panic which. beginning as matter
of speculation, was threatening to destroy
the confidence and credit necessary TO
the conduct of legitimate business. NO
one who considers calmly can question
that the underlying conditions which
make I'D our financial and industrial we'll
being are essentially sound and honest.
Dishonest dealing and speculative enter
prise are merely the occasional incidents
of our real prosperity. The action taken
by YOU and by the business men IN ques-
ton has been of the utmost consequence
and has secured opportunity for the CAIN
consideration which must inevitably pro-
duce entire confidence In our business
conditions Faithfully yours.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
"Hon. George p. Cortelyou, Secretary of
the Treasury
1t is interesting to note that the men
who did most to check the fright in New
York were ]. Pierpont Morgan and JoiIn
D. Rockefeller together with the banks
controlled by them. Secretary or
telvou made nearly all of the deposits of
government money in four banks: two OF
which are controlled by Rockefeller and
the Standard Oil interests and the other
two by ]. P Morgan.
The charge has been made that it was
largely with governments deposited money
in the banks that he controls that Nor
gan was able to go into the stock market
on rhe day of the worst panic and lehd
so5 o0O coo to keep stocks from breaking.

THE LONDON VIEWPOINT.
No Limit to Quantity and Variety
of Comment.

Special Cahlegram to The Star
LONDON October 26.-New York
credit panic, of course, absorbed the at
tention of the financial world during the
entire week It cannot be said that Eu-
ropeans suffered materially except in
directly Never, perhaps, has hnanclal
collapse been so clearly fOreSeen at dis
tance and so fully prepared for. 1t sur
prised nobody on this side of the water
and .le European holding American Sc
curites was long since reduced to min
imum.
There Is no limit to the quantity and
variety of comment upon the American
financial situation. There are those who
applaud President Roosevelt for turning
on the light There are others who con-
denim him for searching for gas leak
with a make light. There are still others
who ask of what use IS an executive VINO
denounces the leading dnancierS of his
country for fraud and corruption, and
brags of thus destroying public confidence
but who sends nobody to Jail for the
crimes he condemns?'
It is the latter class of commentators
who take We most serious view of the sit
uation They point out that such male
factors as President Roosevelt describes
| would be sent to Jail In any other civil
lied country, and that. therefore, II Pres
to this end ne leaves A choice of only two
conclusions either the Judiciary system
Of the United States Is the most rotten
and most inadequate on earth, or the ex-
ecutive has utterly failed in its duty to
enforce the law as 1t would be enforced
| under similar circumstances in Great Brit
ain. for instance. Either of these con-
clusions they say, is equally discredita-
BILE to the presidential attitude.
If 1t is the judiciary system that is at
fault. why isn't President Roosevelt agi-
tating for judicial reform, which is the
root of the evil, instead of shouting about
the effect of the absanc of this elemen-
tary safeguard of societyf On the other
hand. If the courts are all right 1t must
be the fault of the executive If the big
thieves and robbers were not sent to the
| penitentary long ago. In other words, ac-
cording to conservative foreign opinion.
| 1t is obvious that President Roosevelt has
either done too much or not enough, and
| one is about as bad as the other.
All classes OF financial opinion here
agree as to the artificial character of the
panic. and that 1t is not justified by any
adverse conditions affecting the general
prosperity of the country. It is agreed
| also that nothing would so effectively re-
! store public confidence as the knowledge

BRINGS THE CONSTITUTION.
Arrival of Gov. Frantz Of Okla
homa.

Gov. Frantz of Oklahoma has arrived in
Washington with the constitution that has
been ratified by the people of the new
state. President Roosevelt will confer
with him tomorrow and will then begin
perusal of the official document. AL
though there is practically no doubt that
the President will approve the constitu-
ton and proclaim statehood he will not
do so for the next two or three weeks, or
until he has time to arrange the appoint
ments of two federal judges and two sets
of United States marshals and attorneys
for the state. He wants to appoint these
men and get the federal machinery ready
for business before statehood takes effect.
AS soon as he issues the proclamation
statehood becomes operative.

AID FROM THE RUSSIANS.
81. Petersburg Comes to the Relief
of Westinghouse Companies.

ST. PETERSBURG. October 26.-Owing
to the embarrassment of two of the
Westinghouse companies and the cessa-
ton Of financial support from them. the
municipality Of St. Petersburg has come
70 the assistance of the Russian West
inghouse company. and has given as
SuTances to General Manager Smith that
payments on the electric street railroad
contract will be FASTENED SO as TO pre-
vent a stoppage OF the work.
The situation for a time was critical
al instead of a remittance of S125O0O
expected from America this week the
Westinghouse people advised Mr. Smith
that the Russian company would have
to depend entirely on Its own resources.
A stoppage of work at the big Moscow
factory might have precipitated grave
labor troubles. There are funds enough
