MONROE TALKS
RESPONSIBILITY FOR BOY
ERTOWN FIRE DENIED.
Proprietress of Ill-Fated Play Admits
There Was Negligence Somewhere
Engages Champ Clark to Defend Her,

WASHINGTON, Feb. Mrs. II. f.
Monroe. of Washing ton, who is under
Indictment at Boyertown. Pa, charged
with responsibility for the loss of 1853
lives at a theatre fire in that town re-
Gently. has engaged Representative
Champ Clark, of Missouri, as ounse
to look after her interests.
1t is probable that Mrs, Monroe viii
resist any attempt to force her to re-
turn to Boyertown for trial. There is
scarcely a family in that city not be-
reft in the tragedy and friends of Mrs.
Monroe here feel that she could not get
a fair trial no matter how earnestly
the citizens of Boyertown desired to
be impartial.
Mrs. Monroe denies that her machine
started the fire. She is reported to
have said that a man on the stage
knocked over. a kerosene lamp. On the
stage was a twO-gallon tank of gaso-
.lene and under the stage was an add
tional can Of the same fluid. When the
fire reached this gasolenc the flames
leaped forth with lightning rapidity.
She says that the oxygen tanks used
by her are intact. They were so per-
fectly made that the flames which
swept over them did not cause their
explosion. She said:
81 am not responsible for the nimsy
construction OF the stage. | am not
responsible Cor the storage of large
quantities or g%asolene on it and under
it. ] am not responsible for the lack
of fire escapes on the building. Surely
some n was negligent, but why blame
mc?'

RUDE WADDEL'S
WIFE SEEKS
DIVORCE
Star Twirier's Better Half
Says Hubby Kept Her
on Peanut Diet.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 1.-Never for
long does George Edward (Rube) Wad-
del, monumental pitcher of Connie
Mack's Athletics, remain far from the
spotlight.
Rube is too busy a mai for that. Let
him cave the diamond and he ions the
costume of the actor. Abas with the
stage, and then you have him fighting
flames and saving lives of women and
children. Tired of being hero, he turns
his attention to ~bartending. Converted
to h anti-saloon movement, and you
have Rubed driving a water cart.
It's all one to RUDE. He never swan
the Niagara rapids because he never
happened to go to Niagara. But If he
were to HE himself to the South Seas
the cables would be hot with messages
of RUDE claiming. the throne and lord
ing it over the band of Polynesian
natives, That's Rube.
Some months ago RUDE tried to hide
himself in Mobile, Ala. His friends had
almost forgotten about him, but Rube's
laurels were not of the kind which the
cold northern SHOWS unfeelingly covers.
Yesterday he popped up again, or his
name did, when his wife-the second,
you know-May Skinner Waddel, be-
gan a suit for divorce.
Just what the trouble is this time
was not told. Two years ago, when
their domestic differences were brought
into court, RUDE was accused of leav-
ing his wife at various hotels as
pledges for the payment of board.
Now tn. ase seems to be somewhat
different. While Mrs. Waddel is living
with her parents in Peabody, Mass,
RUDE is catching sharks in Mobile Bay.
Under the circumstances it is assumed
the wife has plenty to eat, although it
was ono claimed by tho wife that he
kept her on peanuts. And. since RUDE
is 1,50O miles away from her, friends
of the pair are wondering what OF
earth she has to kick about.

terday for the present he would not
proceed in bringing criminal prosecu-
lions against Inspector Harry McC.
Bechtel and Mrs. Harriet f. Monroe,
as recommended by the c~oroner's jury,
for criminal negligence.
Under the testimony and facts pre-
scented at the inquest such a course
would be deemed advisable, said the
district attorney, but added that he
will not GO at it blindfolded. He will
make a thorough investigation of the
facts, and If he sees his way clear to
warrant such a course he will proceed
at once.
Many Boyertown people are %dissatis-
fled because DR.. Thomas j. B. Rhoads,
owner of the hall, was not at least
eensured, and this is finding vent in
expressions of Indignation.
There are few who find fault with
the verdict as far as it goes. but the
opinion is almost universal that it does
not go far enough.
AS far as Mrs. Monroe is concerned,
it is a legal question whether she can
be apprehended unless she voluntarily
presents herself when wanted. Mrs.
Monroe was not a resident Of this state
at the time of the disaster. The law
specifically states that 'if any citizen
of this State shall be criminally negli-
gent, punishment may be inflicted upon

HUGHES GIVES
PUBLIC HIS
PLATFORM
Roosevelt : Differs
With Him on Some
Questions.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-Governor
Charles e. Hughes last night made
open declaration of his views of ma
tional issues and principles.
Until then. when he was welcomed by
scores of ~well-known Republicans at
a reception rendered him at the Re-
publican Club, Governor Hughes has
all questions affecting the country and
the definition of his position on Federal
issues has consequently been expect
antly awaited.
Declaring the Republican party was
a party of progress and stability, Gov
ernor Hughes said the country was
under lasting obligation to President
Roosevelt for his vigorous opposition
to abuses, and for the strong impulse
he has given to movements for their
correction. In the solution of these
difficult problems, he declared, differ
ences of opinion now as always exist
with regard to the best means of solv-
ing them.
Governor Hughes asserted his UNI
qualified opposition to the government
ownership of railroads, but said that
regulation of interstate transportation
is essential to protect the people from
unjust determinations. AS a means
of railroad supervision the Governor
suggested ar administrative board.
Il am not in favor of punishment In
the shape of fines upon corporations
except for minor offenses. The burden
of fines imposed upon such corpora
tons is either transferred to the pub
lie or is borne by the stockholders"
he declared.
A revision of the tariff is advocated
by him. He suggested that the read
justment of schedules be effected by ar
expert commission, so that the facts
be ascertained without delay, and that
Congress dispose of the matter in the
fairest possible manner

NEW YORK, Feb. preceded by a

night in the clubhouse. Although
some of the graduate members of the
club, of whom there were many pres
ent, spoke on the subject of athletic
reforms and for q scheme of larger
participation by Harvard in intercol-
leRiate sports, President Charles W.
Eliot. the guest Of honor and the CHEZ
speaker of the evening, did not touch
in any way upon athletics in his talk,
combining himself for the most part to
complimenting the club and the en-
thusiasm of its members.
President Eliot paid a tribute to
President Roosevelt during his address.
He made no reference to the special
message Of the President, but toward
the close of his address said:
while we may. possibly, some OF
us. differ with President Roosevelt
now, as TO his policies. his example
fifty years from today will be an in
splration TO the people of That day"
