LONDON. Aug. 24.--President Theo.
dorc Roosevelt and Secretary Of War
William IL Taft, In the British eyes,
are distinctly the heroes Of the American
political situation.
The London Times, in discussing the
Provincetown speech, rejects the view
that Roosevelt Is on dangerous or nn-
Ijustifable ground in relation TO the
railway. and says that the president
merely proposes such public control as
has long existed in England, where no
railroad can issue fresh shares or bonds
without parliamentary sanction.
The Times regarding Taft's Columbus
speech as much more fairly put than
Rooseyelt's, and as clinching the Ohioan's
first claim on the confidence of the coun.
| try as Rooseyelt's successor to the Re.
publican leadership.
The Times economical and financial
expert agrees with Roosevelt that while
the markets OF the whole world are de-
pressed, there is no conclusive reason
Ito believe that the case would be other
wise if the president had avoided the
trust problem.
The London Daily Telegraph laud.
Roosevelt's cool head and fine courage
and says that Taft Stands head anc
shoulders above every other man men

American prosperity on a sound basis.'

Burton open. on l,eosevep.

ABILENE, Kan, May 10. - Home Rule, a sixteen page paper, magazine style, by ex-Senator J. R. Burton. made its appearance here. About half the paper is devoted to politics, the rest to departments A cartoon show ing President Roosevelt as the driver of the national Republican machine adorns the front page. In the paper Burton says: ''The present policy makes the president bribe giver and bribe taker every day in the year. When a congressman sells his convic- tons on legislation to the president for the postoflices of his district 1t is A worse crime than if he had bought them with his own money outright. Both Roosevelt and Taft are types of the machine politician. Neither ever made a dollar in his life except by holding ofice."

he would not be influenced by what the governor thought and was pre- pared to give the accused man the ben eft of every reasonable daubt. ' Did you read communication from the president of the United States dis cussing this matter and referring to the defendants in these cases as 'unde- sirable citizensy"
 "Yes."
 Did 1t have any effect upon youY'
 The .s juror hesitated moment squirmed little in his chair and then said:
 "well, my sympathy is always with the under dog in the fight"
 The courtroom was convulsed with laughter
 "You were not influenced against the prisoner"
 Not at all."
 And you are prepared to give per fectly fair trial?"
 "Yes, sir"
 "What paper do you readT persisted the lawyer.
 "The Ladies' Home Journal" said Ewing as a gale of laughter swept the room, and Judge Wood had finally to rap for order.
 The question of the defense took . much wider range than that of the state. Its most striking feature dealt with the possible effect upon the minds of the jurors of the letter of President Roosevelt in ealing Haywood and his associates undesirable citizens;" the speeches in Idaho of Secretary Taft, the message of Governor Goodlng to the legislature, the speech in Boise of Senator Hepburn and the action of the Idaho legislature In appropriating mon- sy for the prosecution of the three prisoners.
 The case was halted by the exhaus- ton of the jury panel, and adjourn ment was taken until Monday. Mean time the sherir will summon a special venire of a hundred men. The eleven men under examination but not yet finally accepted or rejected were lock ed up and will be closely guarded.
 When Haywood was brought to the courtroom he found his family in chairs to the right of his seat. in front of which were his counsel. He devoted more attention to his youngest daugh- ter than to any one else in court.
 Mrs. Haywood was seated in her in- valid chair. She was accompanied by her two daughters and a nurse.
 Haywood is a stockily built man, just short of six feet in height and weighs 1so pounds. Apparently his long con fnement. broken as it has been by dai- ly exercise on the lawn surrounding the courthouse, has had little effect upon his health.
 Haywood suffered an accident to his right eye some years ago, losing Its sight.

4 FAKE PRIZE FIGHT.

Burns Got O'Brien Into Ring by .
 stratagem-Hamme Him Good.
 LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 10.-In a statement Tommy Burns, the winner of the heavyweight championship fight, declares that he promised to Hay down" and let "Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien win.
 He said there was no chance other wise to get O'Brien into the ring. He said he resolved as soon as the gong sounded for the first round to break his promise and then determined to go in and win.
 Burns said
 Jack 0'Brien was caught in one of his own traps I could not get him to agree to enter the arena until after l had promised to lay down and let him win the fight. I pretended to be will ing to do this because I wanted to show the country that I was O'Brien's master. In the first round O'Brien was taken of his feet and was scared to death. He knew I had planned too cunningly for them all and that he was due for beating.
 "As for the bets being called o6, I was instrumental in having that done for the protection of the public. 1 wanted to make this explanation after ward, and I did not want to see the public tricked into losing any of It's money. The calling on of the bets cost me S3,SO0, for I stood to win that amount myself"
 Manager McCarey of the Pacific Ath- letic club confirmed Burns statement in every detail.
 O'Brien was located in a room at the Angelus hotel. He was suffering from injuries to his face and hands received in the fight and declined to see any callers or make statement

DAN BUCKLEY's REWARD.
Villanova Boy Who Has Just Re-
 turned Home We'll Spoken Of.

Another Waterbury boy who has made good in athletics at college is Dan Buckley, who has just returned to his home in this city for the sum- mer months. That Dan was popular while at Villanova college is evi- denced from the following communi- cation which was sent to the sport ing editor of the Democrat to-day: Villanova, Pa, May 7th, 'O7. Saturday evening Daniel Buckley of Waterbury, Conn, bade goodbye to the students of Villanova prior to his return home to spend the sum- mer months.
 It was with regret that his many friends saw him depart from their midst, yet there was universal joy when he announced his intention of returning to school next year. This means that he will be back in foot ball again. It needed but the foot ball season last September to bring to light the extraordinary ability of MT Buckley as an athlete. Filling the central position, he was the key stone of the most successful eleven that ever represented Villanova on the gridiron. As guard, position which he often filled, his dash and in trepid playing soon won for him the name ubiquitous Dan" And well did he merit the name, for as regards speed and the finer points of the game he has few superiors in foot ball circles. During the winter months he instituted a boxing class in the college gymnasium, and that he was highly successful was soon made manifest in the several boxing entertainments given for the stu dents and their friends.
 Again, MT Buckley's versatility in athletics was further shown when he was appointed official umpire of base ball games on the college diamond. His thorough knowledge of the game, and he is no mean player him. self, caused his decisions to meet with favor on all sides. Indeed, it is unusual that such all around ex- ceptional ability is found in one man.
 Yet with Mir Buckley athletics were but secondary in his motive in being at college. With the same as- siduity that characterized his work on the gridiron and on the diamond he entered into his studies. In these his progress was unprecedented, showing ever an aptitude as uniyer- sal as it was keen.
 MT Buckley is man in every sense of the word, and does honor to Waterbury. Honest and straightfor- ward with everyone, and filling with that higher sense as to the fitness of things. he quickly gained friends In all the students. As a mark of the high esteem in which they held him they presented him on his departure with a beautiful silver shaving mug embossed with gold.
 Another Waterbury boy of whom his home town has every reason to be proud is Joseph Slavin. the star halfback and captain of the football eleven. as we'll as coach of the acad- emy base ball club. Sal" has the academy boys rounded into great shape and they have a long string of victories to their credit.
