YER WIEBE'S ANSWER
To Presidents Letter of Commenda
ton for Football Work,

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 29.-The lettei
sent by President Roosevelt to Halfback
Yer Wiebe of the Harvard football eleven
following the victory over Yale, was an
swered by the Harvard student and ath-
lete tonight as follows:
Hollis Hail. Harvard University.
"My Dear Mr.. Roosevelt:-I received
your kind and appreciative letter of the
oath. I-assure you that it was with the
greatest joy and gratitude that, I read
YOUR sentiments. + agree with you that
Kennard should be given much credit, but
I also feel that every other member of
the team deserves and ought to receive
just as much praise as I. If, as you say,
it was due to my work that Kennard was
enabled to kick his goal, it was in turn
due to the other fellows that could ac-
complish what I did.
again thanking you for your encour-
aging words, permit me to remain
Sincerely and gratefully yours

MUST PASS CENSUS BILL.
Senator Long of Kansas Emphasizes
Need of Speedy Action.

Washington, Nov. .9.--"The census
,ill must be passed during the short
ession of Congress or We'll not be
bile to count noses in 1870" said Sell
,tor Long of Kansas Saturday. Mr.
long is chairman of the Census COM
nittee. and has come to Washington
o do the preliminary work. so that
when the lawmakers meet there need
1e no delay in the preparation of the
measure.
"In order to take the census we must
1ave the machinery" continued Sena-
.or Long, "and that will pe provided
w the bill An army of enumeratdrs,
clerks, card punchers, computers ana
.tatisticians will have to be employed
OF course, we have the skeleton of the
organization in the permanent census
out only a sufficient force Is employed
there to get out the reports in various
industries from time to time. There
is no opposition to the bill to speak
of and there is no reason why it should
not be passed as soon as the approprla-
tions are out of the way.
Speaking of his own defeat at the
primary, which cost him the nomlna-
ton and, consequently, his seat IN the
Senate, Senator Long said that Demo-
cratic votes were his undoing.
The Democrats came in droVes ano
voted against me-" he said. Il was not
beaten by Republican votes. and mao
there been only Republican votes cast
would have had no trouble in winning
It's an old political game, however, 'o1
the party that is out to assist in the
defeat of the officeholders of the party
that is in. BY this move they help
break down the strength of the strong
er party, and sometimes succeed IN
displacing it altogether. But I am not
complaining over the fortunes OF war
Defeat is what every man in politics:
exnects to face some time or other.

A Trick or a Theft?

Clayton Hall of FarminGdale for a
short time Saturday night thought that
he was robbed of his team and even at
the present time he is not quite sure
whether the parties who took the horse
intended to steal the animal, and became
frightened and left the team where it was
afterwards found, or whether the whole
matter was d practical joke.
Early in the evening Mr.. Hall came to
the police station, complaining that he
had been robbed of his team. He said
he left the animal hitched opposite AInes.
bury & Wakefield's store house while he
went into the Cash Market to make some
purchases. and when he returned 10th
horse and the bicycle tired buggy to
which he was attached was missing. The
officers tracked, the horse onto Beech
street by meanst of the wagon tracks and
then lost trace of him for the time being.
A little later the horse was found hitched
on the Gardiner and Randolph bridge
and the next time his owner comes to
Gardiner he will probably stable his
horse while he is doing his Saturday night
marketing.

INTERVIEW VITA HAMS.
New1Yorker Has Lively Times Locked
Up In the Tombs.

New York, Nov. 29.-One Of the best
interviews thus far had with T. Jen-
kins Hams and his brother, Capt. Peter
c. Hams. Jr, who are in the Queens
county Jail, charged with the murder of
William f. Annis, was unwillingly OBJ
tanned a few days ago by Henry II.
Neuman of Van Aist avenue. Astoria,
who found himself locked up in the
same corridor with the Hams brothers
in default of $1,000 bail.
Neuman's offence was that he moved
shortly before election day and then
voted from his old address When he
found he had done wrong he surrender
cd. Tho magistrate later decided he
had done NJ wrong and set him free.
According to the story told by Neu-
man today he was placed in Cell No. 8
and his next door neighbor was Capt.
Hams in Cell No. 5. r. Jenkins Hams
occupied Cell No. 6. directly opposite,
"A stool pigcon!" exclaimed T. Jen-
kins Hams as the keeper who had led
Neuman to his cell disappeared down
the corridor. With that, Neuman says.
his inquisitor made leap at him. In
trying to escape Neuman found him
self backed up against the wall. "A
stool 'pigeon.' again Hams shouted.
Neum2n replied:
mo. I'm not stool pigeon. If you
don't want to talk to me go away. I
don't want to talk to you. Go away"
DO you know the people down.
stair" continued Hams referring to
the men in the sheriff's Office.
YES" Neuman replied, Il know
them all and 1 want you to keep away
from me-
Did you ever serve in the army or
navy?"
No" replied Neuman. land my af-
fairs are none of your business"
We'll" said his inquisitor, It's never
too late to make a beginning and We'll
start right here. Take your hands out
of your pockets, straighten your knees,
hold your chin UP, put your heels to-
gether and turn your toes out. That
looks better. Now look straight ahead
and answer my questions.
Then in answer to Hams questions
Neuman told how he came to be locked
up, and was asked if he knew District
Attorney Ira G. Darrin of Queens.
Yes replied Neuman, but you
ought to know more about him than
do. l understand he's one of your par
ticular friends
Turning angrily on his heels, Hams
shouted to Neuman: ~
You're sent here to hunt for infor-
nation, but you have come TO the
wrong place. You'll find no one here
giving up
Up to that time Capt Hains, who
was in his cell. had not 4aid word
but later when Neuman started to walk
up and down the corridor the captain
suddenly ran at him, his index finger
extended.
"The countersgn, the countersign!"
exclaimed the captain. Attention
dress, front"
Neuman says he thought he was 60
ing to be attacked by the prisoner
The captain began to rattle off a lot
of military commands. From a dis
tance T. Jenkins Hains enjoyed the
scene for a few moments, then he
broke the spell by calling out: Don't
be afraid, young fellow; he won't hnrt
you" NV @s
AT the sound of his brothers voice
the captain bolted back in his cell.

TENSION INCREASING.
Trouble May Be Expected Soon Be-
tween Austria and Turkey.

London, Nov. IA dispatch to the
Times from Constantinople says that
the tension between Austria and
Turkey is becoming more serious. The
departure of the Austrian ambassador,
Marquis Pallavicin will mean the COM
plete rupture of relations. 1t Is diff
cult to see how this can be avoided
ty Turkey while Austria maintains her
demand for the, suppression of the
boycott by the active interference on
tho. part of the Porte. Under the new
regime this is impossible even if the
government issued orders to that eff
feet, they would not be ooeyed. The
heads of the guilds concerned have
told the grand vizer that the boycott
will be persisted in so long as Austria
persists in her present attitude. Many
of the young Turks suspect that one
of the chief causes of Austria's insist
ence is to create embarrassments for
the new regime.

CONFESSESE RR0a
New York World Sorry
For Honest Mistake.
Believed the Alleged Interview
with Kaiser Was Genuine.
Is Now Convinced II Wasn't and
i. Makes An Humble Apology.

New York, Nov. 29.-The New York
World, which recently published what
it explains it then honestly believed
to be a correct synopsis of the inter-
view given by the German Emperor to
Dr. William Bayard Hale, and sub
sequently suppressed, has sent the fol-
lowing cablegram to Chancellor Won
Buelow:
prince Won Buelow, Imperial Chan
cellor, Berlin.
After a painstaking investigation
the New York World finds no con-
vincing basis of fact for its published
synopsis of the Hale interview with
His Majesty the German Emperor. 1t
accepts the verdict that the alleged in
terview ascribed to the Emperor is
absurd words which he cannot have
uttered as a matter of simple justice
to the German Emperor and the Ger
man people, the World will print an
editorial leader Monday morning ex-
pressing it's sincere regret at the pub
lication of synopsis which it regard;
as misleading and mischievous. 1t was
an honest mistake committed merel!
through over-zeal, without the knoWl-
edge of the proprietor or chief editor
and so late at night that the article
did not appear in the first edition
Proofs of the synopsis sent to the au-
thor of the interview had been cor
rected in his own handwriting ant
this was naturally accepted as evidence
that the article as printed was per-
sonally approved by him.
THE NEW YORK WORLD"
In publishing the foregoing cable to-
morrow, the World will state. that the
synopsis was submitted to DR.. Halt
prior to it's publication and that II
words from him would have made
publication impossible. 1t will add tha
DR.. Hale, having contented himself
with the eXcision of several statements
the World printed the corrected cop!
in the belief that DR.. Hale in personal
ly correcting the proofs Had affirmed
the truth of every statement he left uh'
touched"
After reading the Worlds explana
ton tonight, DIR. Hale made public
statement in which he said that prlol
to it's publication he had warned {
repre sentative of the World that the
pretended synopsis was a flake from
beginning to end"

DISPATCHES from Turin reporting that
the interrupted marriage OF the Duke

l,ins was really broken off was shown
to Senator Stephen f. Elkins, who Is

ment The company officials assert that
it is not true. There is considerable
gas in the mine however, and there is
undoubtedly danger of a second ex-
p]OSicn.
Conditions about the mouth of the
mine were disagreeable today. A. driz-
zling rain fell and the weather grew
cold. Many relatives Of the victims
stood all day close to the ropes around
the shaft, but there were few of the
narrowing scenes usually associated
with mine explosion Most of the rel
atives are English-speaking people,
who hear their grief in silence. 1t is
estimated that one-fOurth of the vic
Tins are Americans. AS rapidly as pos
sible the work of recovery IS being
carried on. At short intervals new men
are sent into the mine to relieve others
searching for the dead. Owing to the
dangerous gases and the mass of
wreckage in the mine the work is slow
and is being carried on with great
caution. Experts from Pennsylvania
and West Virginia are in charge of the
work of exploration and are being ma
terially assisted by j. W. Paul and
perimental ard testing station, located
in Pittsburg.
Notwithstanding the isolation of
Mariana, thousands of persons found
their way here today. A train in the
morning brought many from Pittsburg
and intermediate points, while over
500 vehicles of all descriptions were
scattered over the hillsides surround
ing the mine. One boarding house near
the mine was almost wrecked by per-
sons seeking meals. The small house
was packed almost to SuffOcation. Over
1000 hungry sight-seers drove from five
to 10 miles to appease their curiosity
Tonight the undertakers are arrang-
ing for many funerals tomorrow.
Whenever possible the bodies are be-
ing embalmed- The bodies recovered
today will be buried before tomorrow
night. owing to rapid decomposition.
Around the mine mouth to-
night and the boiler house near
by, which is being used as
temporary morgue, there is
sickening odor. Disinfectants are be-
ing used in large quantities and the
situation is greatly relieved by the
change to colder weather. It is fear
ed, had the weather remained as warm
as yesterday. an epidemic of disease
would have resulted.

PRINCESS WILL RETALlATE.
Anna Has Some Sensational Evidence
Against Boni.

Paris, Nov 29.-Those who attend
ed the trial of the suit for possession
Of the Castellane children last
Wednesday heard plenty of fresh
scandal about Prince de Sagan. Next
Wednesday the lawyers Of the princess
are to talk, and she has promised
that some sensational disclosures will
be made about Count Boni de Castel-
lane, her former husband.
Il don't like to tell you the exact
nature of the disclosures as yet" the
princess said, but some Of them will
be sensational The prince and 1 have
teen going over thousands of old let
ters and have found pile of evidence.
Besides, some were secured in other
ways. Certain letters Of Able Cogniac,
who had charge of the children short
ly after my divorce, will be read. For
one thing, these letters, which until
now have not been made public, pro-
test against letting Count de Castellane
get the children. The abbe insists that
their fathers influence is bad, and de-
plores the frightful language he uses
before his children.
"Of course, my baby boy, years old,
