IN CRITICISMS
OF FFRENCHMAN

PARIS, June 4.-Further criticism OF
President Roosevelt in his anti-railroad
campaign. at the hands of European
economists and fnanciers, was offered
today by Paul LeRoy-Beaulieu. Frances
most distinguished authority on eco
nomical affairs. He indolses the opin-
ion recently expressed by Lord Roths-
child, that the President goes too far
He said today;
I believe there is some truth in Lord
ROthschild's statement that President
ROosevelts antitrust policy has helped
to lower the values of gilt-edged Sc
curities.
"Of course. II is quite right that he
should curb the trusts to some extent"
As a partial explanation of the de-
cline of valuable securities. Leroy
Reau'ieu said: In France and the rest
OF Europe. indeed throughout the world,
out most notably in America. the de-
velopment OF vast and varied industrial
enterprises has been too fast for avail
able capital"
The French economist. however.
showed that he has great Caith IN
American securities by saying he has
his capital invested in American rail-
way stocks, and advises French capital
lists TO rut their money in similar In
Yestments.

PREMIER TO WE'D
NURSE OF WIFE.
LADY BANNERNAN

LONDON. June A sensation has
been created here by the announcement
in Liverpool paper that Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman is 70 wed the
nurse who attended Lady Campbell
Bannerman during her lcst illness. In
cold type the Liverpool Courier says:
a popular and exalted light OF the
Liberal party and a right honorable
gentleman. as prominent in their coun-
ellis as in the government, is about to
re-enter the blessed estate Of matrimony
under quite romantic circumstances. In
order to Obviate what might be a very
general deduction by outsiders. il
should be stated that the gentleman in
question is we'll advanced in years.
Lady C3mpbel-Bannerma died last
August az NIarienbad. 1t is said that
the woman who nursed her through her
long illness will be the second wife of
the premier. who is now seventy-ons
years of age.
In political inner circles this story is
being referred TO in a shocked tone in
an indignant tone, and i'm a sorrovvfuI
tone. Pessimistic radicals say the mar
riage will Shatter the Liberal party. and
that &C. b will be "banished" 10 the
house of lords.
II so, the irony OF fate has never been
ain was about TO experience a fresh
illustration Of what Lord Beaconsfieid
said, which was that ''the most ridiculous
of all imaginable sights is the British
public IN one of its fits of indignant
righteousness.

Pethbone were the authors OF a plot
that had for its object the punishment
by violence Of those men who had been
most prominently identified with the
forces opposing the lawlessness With

Haywood and the others with the dvna-
mite outrage at Independence. Col. with
the shooting OF Collins. superintendent
Of the Smuggler mine at Telluride. with
attempts 20 kill two judges OF the SU-
preme court Of Colorado. and with other
