APPROVE OF IRELAND
FRENCH PRESS INDORSES THE
PRELATE's SERMON.

PARIS. January 9.-Archbishop Ireland's
sermon on the French church question,
preached In the Cathedral at st, Paul on
December q. is being discussed with con-
siderable interest by the French press.
1t is characteristic Of the iatter's easy
going indifference that this sermon was re-
ported by cable on Christmas day at con-
siderable length. At that moment tne
French press paid little attention to 1t. but
the New York mails having l-ought papers
containing editorial comments on the ser
mon. the Paris journals have suddenly real
tied the significance Of the archbishop
frank and manly declarations. The Temps

COST OF LICORICE.
Witness Wanted to Include Dividend
In Expense Of Making.

NEW YORK. January 0.-Figures show
Ing the cost OF the production Of licorice
paste were produced yesterday at the SEES
sion Of the so-called tobacco trust trial.
by Auditor Beck of the MacAndrews &
Forbes Company. These figures had been
asked for by Special Attorney General Taft,
who Is prosecuting the case of the govern
ment Mr.. Beck's estimates showed that
the cost Of manufacturing the paste
amounted to seven and a fraction cents
per pound in 1903 and 1904. Mr. Taft
however. got from Mr.. Beck the Informal
ton that. in computing the cost of making
paste, among other items included was the
amount paid in dividends on the corpora
ton S preferred stock. The auditor insist
ed that the dividends were in the nature Of
fixed charges" and should properly e in
cluded In the annual expenditures Of the
company. Eliminating these dividends.
which Mr.. Taft declared were in reality a
portion of the companys actual profits, the
cost of manufacturing the paste per pound
would be reduced the witness said, to six
and fraction cents per pound.
He testified that the combination was not
effected to increase prices of paste, but to
enable the Continental Tobacco Company
to control the raw root market in the orr
emf. He was constantly afraid he said that
the Sultan of Turkey would be induced to
the licorice root industry rights in that
country. which would seriously interfere
with the Continental CompanyS business.
Mr. Jungbluth identified several letters
written to him by David Forbes. director
Of the MacAndrews & Forbes Company
and the companys agent in the orient. writ
ten in May. 1904. In the letters Mr. Forbes
said they were getting their normal supply
of raw root in the orient Mr.. Jungbluth
also identified letters in reply. advising Mr..
Forbes to buy only a minimum supply of
raw root.
Mr. Duke had previously testified that
the tobacco company was fearful lest the
Japanese-Russian war should interfere with
its getting its normal supply of raw root.
Mr.. Taft read another letter. in which Mr..
Forbes said there was a large supply of
root on the east bank of the Euphrates and
Tigris rivers, and that If a certain contem-
plated railway was completed they would
easily double their supply Of raw root at
any time.
THAT was during the Japanese war-at
its very height-was 1t not?" asked Mr.. Taft.
land that letter treasured you that you
could get all the raw root you wanted, did
it not, notwithstanding the war or Mace
DOMAIN troubies?'
ut would have had the territory referred
to been open to US. but that section Is
closed to all foreign trade. and It may be
ten or fifteen years yet before it Is opened
to outside trade said Mr.. Jungbluth.

CHICAGO, May 3.--A dispatch L
the Tribune from washington, D. c.
says:
President Roosevelt has decided tc
set at rest all talk that he will be q
candidate for the Republican nomina-
tion for the Presidency next year.
1t was learned yesterday upon the
highest authority that at the proper
moment the President win issue q
statement to the American people that
he VIII not accept denomination
under any circumstances, and calling
attention to the declaration he made
on the night he was elected in Novem-
Der, 1904, as follows;
THE wise custom which limits the
President to two terms regards the
sustenance and not the form. Under
no circumstances will be a canji-
date for or accept another nomination
The advisibility of issuing state
ment at the present time, has been
forced upon the attention of the Pres
ident as the result of earnest repre-
sentations made to him by intimate
friends, politicians and people resi-
ding In every section of the country
who wants him to run again. The
President does not feel, however, that
the time has come for him to publish
a statement; he does not believe that
politics Is an all-absorbing question
with the American people at this time,
Naturally he feels flatered by ap-
ppeals to him to be once more a can
didate, but he Is inclined to attribute
these suggestions rather to the appro-
val OF the policies he has initiated and
enforced than to any special desire
to keep him in the white House, II

to nominate man like Secretary Root
and Secretary Taft, who peculiarly
are identified with the Roosevelt pol

try win be satisfied for 1t win be as
sured that the progressive programme
of this administration win not be
