Intercourse with His Eel.
low Citizen.
AUTHOR PUTS IN A COMPLAINT
Executive Has Gone Out of His Way,
DR.. Long Declares
Demands That Apology and Retrac.
ton Be Made - Dispute Is
Over Fact in Wild
Animal Life.

Stamford, Conn, May 29.-Dr. Will
liam ]. Long has made public a letter
sent by him to President Roosevelt.
The letter says in part: THE issue
between you and me is no longer one
of animals, but Of men, 1t is not chief
" a matter of natural history, but of
truth and personal honor. In recent
magazine article you deliberately at
tack me, as well as my book. You
have used the enormous influence Of
your official position to discredit me
as a man, to injure my reputation, and
incidentally to make a poor man even
poorer by destroying, if possible, the
sale and influence Of his work.
Pith of RooseveIt's Attack.
I'm my book I have given the re-
suit of long years of watching animals
in the wilderness with no other object
than to study their habits, and so far
as man can to understood the mystery
Of their dumb life. In every preface
I have stated, and l now repeat the
statement, that every incident I have
recorded from my own observation is
true as far as an honest, educated man
can see and understand the truth. In
your recent attack this is what you
chiefly deny. l have spoken the truth
and you accuse me of deliberate false
hood and misrepresentation.
Went Ont Hunting Trouble.
GAS president of the United States
you have gone out of your way pub
iicly to injure the private citizen who
was attending strictly to his own bust
ness; as a man you have accused of
| falsehOod another man whose ideals
of truth and honor are quite as high
as your own. This is the whole issue
! between US. 1 meet it squarely and so
must you. If have spoken falsely; if
| in book or work of mine l have inten-
tionally deceived any child or man re-
garding animal life, promise public
ly to retract every such word and new
er to write another animal book. On
the other hand, if l show to any disin-
terested person that you have accused
me falsely you must publicly withdraw
your accusation and apologize. AS a
man and as president no other honor
able course is open to you.

Utilities Bill, Pet Measure of
Gov. Hughes.

Ian has recorded his official disapprov-
al Of the public utilities bill, which
he sent back to the legislature where
it is expected to be repassed without

measure the mayor explains that while

cipleS embodied in the bill it is as a
whole so destructive Of the principle
OF home rule that but one course was
open to him. This was his basic OBJ

that such legislation would result in
evitably in disappointment OF partisan
commissions who in times of party
stress would use their power to coerce
the transportation companies into sup
plying funds with which to corrupt
the electorate.

indianapolis. May % - The su.
preme court holds that city or
dlnance, not only forbidding saloons
outside OF the business part of tina
city. but also defining the boundaries
OF the business part. so MS 10 include
only few squares surrounding the
court house and the place where most
of the business is done, IS valid. It
holds that the only ground on which
such an ordinance can be successfully
attacked is that the city has been
guilty of an unreasonable abuse of it3
power and discretion in declaring such
boundaries.
State Controls the Traffic.
1t also declared that a state may
authorize saloons TO be licensed aud
that the saloon business is lawful ex-
cept as declared unlawful by the state.

Thompson, in a prosecution against
him for violation of a city ordinance
OF Greencastle. by keeping a saloon
near the Big Four station, was re-
versed and 8 new trial ordered.
He Violated the Ordinance.
The ordinance fixed the boundaries
of the business part or town as Co
lumbia street on the north. Market
street on the west, Walnut street on
the south and College avenue on the
east, and Thompson'S saloon was four
squares north of Columbia street It
was surrounded by two railway sta
tions, beer depot. an oil storage tank,

restaurant, respectively, on different
sides. and the nearest residence was
