NO MATTER The OWNER.
President Will Be Responsible for
What He Writes for Outlook

Washington, Nov. 13.-In connection
with the publication in New York to-
day of story to the effect that the
Outlook magazine with which Presi-
dent Roosevelt had signed a contract
to become associate editor, is controlled
by James Stillman, designated as the
silent man. of the Standard Oil party,
the trusted business associate of the
malefactors of great wealth. and the
friend, aid and adviser of E. H. Harri-
man, brought forth from the White
House today the following statement:
1.-The president has not the slightest
concern with the question as to who
are the stockholders of the Outlook.
His concern is with the general policy
of the paper, which is and has been
consistently admirable in every respect.
The president will be responsible for
what he himself writes; and his prob
able future attitude must be judged by
his action in the past"

torney Jerome publicly announced in
court TO-DAY that he has abandoned
hope of convicting Hitchcock. and
upon his recommendation the bail of
$500 under which Hitchcock has
been held was discharged. 1t is likely
that his attorneys will in a few days
move for dismissal of the indict-
mentS.
The arrest of Hitchcock and his
subsequent indictment and trials
caused quite a sensation in theatrical
circles about a year ago. He was ac-
quilted of two of four indictments
found against him after Flora Wiston,
one of the complainants, confessed
that she testified falsely against Hitch
cock. She is now under $4,000 bail in
connection with the perjury charges.
