ROOSEVELT SAYS
He CANNOT TAKE
UP GOMPERS CASE
No Chance to Intervene While
Jail Sentence Cases Are
Before the Court.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.--In an Of
ficial statement issued at the White
House to-day In regard to Presidential
Interference in the cases of President
Gompers. Vce-President Mitchell and
Secretary Morrison, OF the American
Federation of Labor. now under SEN

still before the courts and that 10 mat

ing 10 pardon or express an opinion as
to the merits of the cases. The text Of
the statement follows;
Various appeals have been made TO the
President to interere by pardons In the
case of Mr.. Gompers and his associates.
Those making the appeals are unaware
of the fact that the matter Is still be-
fore the courts, 1t is civll suit be-
tween private parties and there has
been no way ny which the Government
could have intervened even IL II had de-
sired 10 do so. When the decision Is
made. then the President can promptly
consider whether the terms OF imprison-
ment are excessive or improper, But II

dent 70 act while an appeal is pending.
"If the defendants see III 10 abandon

and most careful consideration, The
President has already instructed the
Department Of Justice 10 keep him fully
informed as TO the progress OF the case
so that IN the event OF it's becoming
proper for him 10 act he may have at
lis disposal all of the facts which VIII
enable him 10 decide whether there was

In court TODAY Aaron Levy, counsel
for the defendants. asked Detective
Raphael how he happened to arrest
the defendants in connection with the
assault and robbery. The detective re-
piled that he noticed them acting in a
peculiar manner and became suspicious.
What do you mean by acting in a
peculiar manner" asked the lawyer.
We'll, they acted as If they were In
their bare feet on a red-hot stove"

CHIEF KILLED IN
FURIOUS FIGHT
Number of Cotte'S Men Also
Fall in Clash With Revolu-
tiOniStS at Moscow.

MOSCOW, Dec. 26-Baron Cote, chief
OF the secret political police. was killed
and Col. MuraA wounded In fierce en-
counter to-day with revolutionists who
were intrenched in a suburban villa
During the fight number OF police
men were also killed and others were
wounded.
Troops were summoned to the aid OF
the police and regular battle ensued.
Artillery had finally to be brought
to the scene to lombard the villa be-
fore the revolutionists were subdued.
The occurrence is the most serious
since the uprising OF December, 1905,
The villa where the fghting took place
occupies a strategic position on Elk
Island. an islet in the river near Mos
COW. that is favorite summer resort,
The leaders OF a revolutionary or
kanization were holding q meeting IN
the house. The police got wind OF the
AFFAIR and surrounded the villa with
the idea OF making q number of ar
rests. As they approached the house
the revolutionists opened hrs. This re-
sistancs was unexpected. and the police
withdrew, The infantry We're sent for,
and with this reinforcement q second
advance was made.
The police and the soldiers had to re-
tire q second time, and II was IN this
encounter that Baron Cote was killed
and Col. Murski wounded, Several SOL
disrs also lost their lives.
When the artillery appeared a few
well directed shots put an end 10 the
trouble. The losses sustained by the
rsvolutionists are not known, but they
doubtless are heavy.

Partners All Withdraw.

The entire brunt of the failure is
borne by Mr.. Poor. his former partners
having Withdrawn from the firm. The
support of their capital was also with
drawn, II was said by one Of the cred
itors lawyers after the announcement
of the assignment. Mr., Poor was the
board member of the old concern Of
Poor & Greenough and has been a mem-
Der Of the Stock Exchange since 1899,
His former partner was John Green
ough, at one time a director With
Charles r. Barney, G. ". Morse and
Others of the American Ice Company.
When this partnership was dissolved
the firm of II. w. Poor & Co. was or
ganized. The partners-all of whom
have withdrawn-were Henry w. Poor.
a son of Henry w Poor, William y.

Had II not been for the fact that the
Stock Exchange was closed to-day the
announcement OF the Poor failure
would undoubtedly have been reflected
In the condition OF the market Com
ing just before the January settlement,
the crash was considered as OF grave
Significance.
Six weeks ago when Mr.. Poor began
the sale OF his $780, 900 library there was
a great deal of speculation in Wall
street as to his motive for the sacrifice.
