Colorado District Attorney Resigns.

Earl NJ. Cranston has resigned as United
States district attorney for Colorado.
Nearly year ago he expressed to the
President his desire to resign. but at the
Presidents earnest request he consented
to serve a while longer. The President
regards him as a peculiarly good district
attorney, and has felt very reluctant tn
lose him. but does not feel that he has :
right to insist further upon his sacrificing
his private business.

Offers of Fine Places.

Mr. Cortelyou has open number of Of
fers to become connected with great bank
ing or business concerns of the country,
and it is not impossible that some time in
the future he may consider it advisaol
to accept one of these offers. But up to
this time he has not done SO, does not con-
template doing SO any time soon and has
said nothing or written nothing to the
President that may be construed as res
ignation. He is not under pressure to
leave the cabinet, and the President
would for many reasons, prefer that he
should stay with the administration until
it's close next March.

examination was confined largely to show

the doctor were only such as fever pa
rients usually receive.
Stories Of Newspaper Reporters.
Martin Green, a reporter on a New
York newspaper. who was a witness for
Thaw at the first trial. was then called.
He told the same brief story as on his
first appearance in the case. He was
present on the roof of Madison Square
Garden on the night Of the shooting and
stood about twenty feet away from Thaw
when he killed the architect After the
shooting he noticed that Thaws face was
pale and convulsve and that his lower
jaw hung loosely. He saw the defendant
wave the pistol and saw fireman take
it away from him. He thought Thaw
looked irrational. Thaw's eyes were wide
and staring.
Mr. Jerome read from the newspaper
that employs Green an article written by
Green the day after the shooting. The
writer said in this article that '.Thaw s
face was like marble. his eyes cool and
cunning as he fired the first shot" The
district attorney called the witness at
tention to the apparent discrepancy in his
description Of the appearance of Thaws s
eyes.
Il was writing about how they looked
after the first shot said the witness.
What I testified was how they looked
after the shooting was over
New Witness in the Case.
Mr. Jerome went on to read passage
from the article which said that after the
shooting Thaw made a three-quarter
turn quite slowly, as II to satisfy himself
that all had witnessed his vengeance
Mr. Green said that that was how il
struck him. and with that they let the
witness go.

Mr.. Monnett stated that while on
the bench Mr.. Taft always had ut
his command at least two federal
grand juries and that il was his
sworn duty 10 prosecute every crime
OF which he was cognizant. In such
a capacity, Mr.. Monnett said. bs had
more power to down trusts than
President Roosevelt had at the White
House. He charged him, however.
with having dissolved the Addison
steel pipe trust and then with hav-
ing permitted It's reorganization IN
der the name Of the u 5. Cast Iron
Pipe Co and finally its merger into
the steel trust This steel trust
was formed under his very nose out
of the wreck Of the Addison Com
pany," said Mr.. Monnett. yet he
never lifted a finger
Mr.. Monnet then declared there
was law enough in the land but the
trouble was nobody was enforcing
il. Taking the present Standard
Oil case as an example. he said that
+ dcral injunction could he Sc
cured in sixty days against the
operation of the trust, and that
Federal indictments Of its owners
could be secured any day by pre-
senting the evidence before a grand
jury.
It wouldn't take any more effort
than it does to run down n man who
makes lead nickels or the freckie-
faced boy who knocks the stuffiug
out of the mail box. he said "Whv
don't they indict under the evidence
already taken in st. Louis? The
weakness is in the executive de-
partment. Roosevelt does not draw
the rein taut and will not do so un-
til the cart is crowded upon his
heels"

Prof Charles w. Eliot. president
Of Harvard University, in recent
communication to the Reform Lea
que of New York. delivered a tell
ing blow "a the high tariff system
under which the country is now suf-
fering, and by which the many are
being robbed for the benefit of the
favored few. Prof. Eliot's letter is
, stingi"g rebuke to the system
which builds up rnonopolies and in
creases the cost of products to the
American consumer and at the same
time enables the trusts created by
the tariff to sell their goods cheaper
in foreign markets than At home.
His statements are particularly in
teresting in view OF the fact, not
only that be is one OF the leading
educators and foremost economic
scholars in the country, but he is
also at the head Of the institution of
which President Roosevelt is a gra-
duate, a position which il has been
said President Roosevelt would like
to occupy at some future time.
II part President Eliot says
The high tariff which has pre-
vailed in the United States since the
Civil War has done very little in the
way OF building up new industries,
but it has done unreasonable harm
and is likely to do more and more
harm.
That the high tariff is rot neces-
sary 10 the maintenance Of American
wages or American standards Of liv.
ing appears clear from the common
practice # selling American goods
il foreign countries at much lower
prices than they are sold for ia the
United States and We. at a profit,
: II the American people mean to
maintain their individual liberty in
industries, trades, commerce and
politics thev must steadily defend
themselves against nonopolies "
