no slump, as there was four years ago.

RooseveIt Makes Vigorous Reply to
Attack on Taft's Rejiuion,


Washington, Nov. 9.-Attacks upon
President elect Taft because Of his
religious views We're vigorously an
swered by President Roosevelt in q
letter made public last night.
The president holds that mans
creed is purely his own affair and that
it interferes in no. wise with the faith
full discharge of his duty. To allow the
subject of religion to enter politics of
this country, Mr.. Roosevelt said, would
be to hark back to bigotry. If a man
wishes to keep silence in regard to his
faith, that is his privilege, and no one
should vote against him for it. Honesty
and upright living are the qualifica-
ions necessary for public official.
The United States citizenship and
the civilization of this day call for the
broadest liberality. declares sthe chief
executive. Emphasizing his argument.
he points to the fact thai. Catholic and
Protestant, Christion and Jew. sit side
by side at his cabinet ia ole, all of one
mind in the consideration of the ma
terial affairs of S0,0O0.0O0 people Of

; That Mr. Taft is a Unitarian Is
passed by the president as matter
of personal concern only. and the re-
port that Mrs. Taft and Charles P.
Taft are Catholics is shown to be in
correct.

HELD. FOR MURDER
Coroner Holds Frank HaIen Guilty Of
Killing George Bennett Of oeIwein -
Grand Jury to Act at Once.

Special to Times Republican.
Oeiwein, Nov. 6.-The finding Of the
coroner's jury in the case of George
Bennett. the old man, an account OF
whose murder is given on the inside
pages of this issue. is that Bennett
came to his death by means of a sharp
instrument in the hands of Frank Ha-
len. Both men had been drinking
heavily, and the younger one probably
committed the crime in drunken
frenzy. The testimony brought out the
fact that Halen had inflicted a num-
Der of minor wounds on Bennett and
started off. when the latter called to
him to comeback and finish the job,
which he did
The grand jury was empaneled this
afternoon and will act on the case at
once. =
Bennett was down town Sunday
night, and the officers say that he left
the business district at II o'clock. Ha-
len says that Bennett asked him to ac-
company him home. and he did so. the
trouble occurring on the way. The po-
lice believe the crime was committed
shortly after II o'clock but it was af-
ter 1 o'clock the next morning when
they were told of the murder. The
peculiar conditions surrounding the
tragedy are mystifying to the officers.
and they are trying to discover some
motive that one might have to kill
Bennett. They think it strange that q
young man. if guilty Of premeditated
murder, would give himself up, and
discover to them that crime had
been committed. They say 1t might be
accounted for OH the ground Of mental
irresponsibility.
