ROOSEVELT WILL
 NOT APPEAR
Refuses to Go Before the Grand Jury in
 the Libel Matter

Washington, Jan. 70 -ITeSl- dent Roosevelt will not go before the district grand jury in the newspaper libel suits, as has been s+ated. Were he private citizen nothing would please him more. p,t as chief executive it would he undignified for him to be questioned by an jnuuisitorial body.
 The action of the New York federal court is in no wise discon- certing to MT. Roosevelt. That Judge Ward would decide as he did yesterday, dism;ssing the sub- noenas served on J. Agnus Shaw and Wm. P. Mclaughlin, was an ticipated by 'Attorney-General Ponaparte and Secretary Root.
 But the administration has other means it will seek to apply in forcing testimony. What they are is not revealed. It can be set down as a positive fact, however that the president will not rest until the editors he claims have defamed Charles P. Taft and Douglas Robinson have been brought before some tribunal for trial.
 William Nelson Cromwell was before the grand jury here today and is understood to have repeat ed to the grand jurors the State ments made by him in his denial last fall of the charge that any part of the S4O,OOO,OOO paid by the government for the canal came back to the United States and that therefore neither Chas r. Taft nor Douglas Robinsol could be guilty of the charges that they profited financially in the transactions. Over two hours were consumed in Mr. Crom- wells examination.
 After him $. k. Jacobs a clerk in the office of the auditor of the treasury department, testified. He was in the grand jury room only a few minutes and exhibit ed the cancelled warrant for S4O,- OOO,OO0 used in settlement of the canal purchase.
 Previous to entering the grand jury room. Mr. Cromwell had an extended conference with Dis trict Attorney Baker.
 Mr. Cromwell brought with him a mass of papers, as did District Attorney Baker and his assist ant, Mr, McNamara. Mr. Crom- well began his testimony short ly after 10 o'clock.
 While no one would volunteer any information on the subject it is believed that Mir. Cromwell laid bare the whole story of his connection with the Panama canal purchase, especially with that phase which had to do with the payment of the S4O,OOO, ,OOO to foreign shareholders. In an in tervieW last fall Mr. Cromwell denied that any of this money came back into American hands.
 Mr. Cromwell concluded his ex- animation at 1925 p.m.. He will not admit that he was to appear before the grand jury, nor would he discuss the case in any of it's phases, He said that he would leave for New York this after noon.
 In the course of his eXamina- tion $. R. Jacobs, a clerk in Hhe office of the auditor for the state department of the treasury de- partment appeared with a num- Der or official papers, some of them framed. These all had to do with the Panama canal pur- chase. Mr. Jacobs examination consisted Simply Of tho ;dentifi-

her stay at that part in the past few
months has been entirely overhauled

for the seasons run between Keokuk

Captain S. r. Dodds, formerly mast
er of the old steamer Crescent, now

ter of the steamer Wenona and will
be gladly welcomed back to his old
p sition as steamboat captain by his
innumerable keokuk friends.
Warren Balm, last years chief en-

the same responsible position again
this year though it has not vet been
