Roosevelt Shows Some of the News
paper Correspondents Lively
Article on G.. Washington.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Mr. 7.
Roosevelt is like Mr.. G. Washington.
He admits it himself. Just about to
retire from the Office Of president OF
the United States, with men saying
all manner Of evil against him and
desnitefully using him, he sent today
for some half dozen Of the faithful
among the Washington correspond
ents, and, taking them into his inner
office, he reached over and took up
faded, yellow and worn periodical
of the vintage Of 1877. After shak-
ing off some Of the dust and must, it
! was seen to be a copy Of The Aurora,
paper edited by Philip Freneau at
Philadelphia. The date was March
6, 1877, two days after George Wash
ington retired from office, and an edl-
torial article in it read as follows:
"Lord, now lettest thou thy sew
want depart in peace. This was the
pious ejaculation of a pious man who
beheld a flood Of Happiness rushing IN
upon mankind eff ever there was
time that would license a reiteratlon
Of the ejaculation, that time has al
rived now, for the man who IS the
source Of all the misfortunes Of our
country is reduced to level with MS
fellow-citizens and is no longer pos
sessed of power to multiply evils up
on the United States. Every heart
in unison with the freedom and hap
piness Of the people ought to beat
high with exultation that the name OF
Washington ceases from this day to
give currency to political insults, and
to legalize corruption. A new era IS
now opening upon us, an era which
promises much to the people, for pub
lie measures must now stand upon
their own merits, and nefarlous pro-
iects can no longer be supported by
name. When a retrospect has been
taken of the Washington admlnlstra-
ton for eight years, it is subject OF
the greatest astonishment that SIN
ole individual should have eankered
the principles of Republicanlsm IN
an enlightened people just emerged
from the gulf Of despotism and should
have carried his designs against the
public liberty so far as to have put IN
Jeopardy its very existence; such'
however, are the facts, and with
these staring us in the face, the day
ought to be jubilee in the United Sta
tes'
But in spite Of Mr.. Frenau's SER
ious reflections on the first president
ct the time of his retirement from
office. George has come to be quite
ficure in history. So will 1t be with
Theodore. and the newspaper cor
respondents received it as Informal

GOVERNOR PATTERSON
ON THE STAND
Tennessee Executive Told of Col.
Cooper's Demeanor.

>
Nashville, Feb. 27.-Two facts
stood out strongly in the Cooper
Sharpe trial today for the murder Of
former Senator Carmack. One "
the calling by the defense of Cove .
nor NJ. R. Patterson, the other was
the failure Of the State to eross-ex-
anime him. It has generally been con-
ceded, however, that innocently Gov
ernor Patterson was one Of the re-
mote causes Of the killing.
Gov. Patterson testified twice
once before the court and again be-
fore the jury. To the court he hold
how he was called over the telephone
by Colonel Cooper's daughter, Mrs.
Lucius Burch. What Mrs. Burcn
told him he did not say, but, it is
known the girl was in deadly terror
and appealed to the chief executive
to use his Influence to avert the
tragedy. Whatever it was that Mrs.
Burch said so impressed the Cover
nor that he took his private secre-
tary and began a frenzied hunt for
the colonel, commencing at nine
o'clock and ending at noon at the
Maxwell House where he found Col.
Cooper.
He told of the conference there, at
which besides himself were present
Colonel Cooper, Attorney James
Bradford and Robin Cooper. He de-
scribed the colonel's anger and his
declaration, and told how they sooth-
ed the old soldier and made him pro-
mise 10 let his friends arrange a
peaceable settlement.
After he told his story to the court,
Judge Hart listened to arguments and
decided the governor could not repeat
the conversation at a conference at
tended but might say what the result
was and describe the colonel's manner
and demeanor.
The State to the surprise Of all de-
clined to cross-examine today but re-
served the right to recall the COVER
nor later for a grilling.
Immediately after the governor was
excused the judge adjourned court.
Attorney General Garner opened
the days proceedings by asking that
further cross-examination Of T. L.
Thompson on the subject in dispute
be postponed until later. "We have
some authorities to cite and will pre-
pare a brief. In the meantime we
will ask Thompson few questions
not connected with his visit to Sena-
tor Carmack. The jury Was brought
ill.,
"Mr. Thompson when you reached
Senator Carmack's body did you see
hat.''
"Not until after we put the body
in the wagon when some one handed
me a green hat and said it was his. y
"Was it Carmack's?"
II understand that was not the
senator's.' Witness told how upon
hearing Senator Carmack had been
shot he ran from the capitol block
away to the scene Of the tragedy.
"You came down Seventh avenue
ON the same side Of the street that
John Sharp, one Of the defendants,
claims he went up towards the capt.
tol?"
"It was a most unusually smoky
day, forest fires had been raging, it
was coludy and as there was no wind
pail of smoke hung over the city"
the witness said.
"Could You tell or see a blue steel
pistol half 4 block away?
II could not
did you see as You approached
any one at the scene Of the TRACE
dy?"

tinctly.'

PLAY VERY WARM
HANDBALL GAME

The handball tournament started up
in the gymnasium of the Y, M. Z. a.
Yesterday afternoon with two of the
hottest games ever seen here. The
players were Baptiste and Chris. Lew
is. They had been practicing steadily
for a long time and there were those
who expected a warm time, but had
not figured on go so fierce as 1t
turned out to be.
A large number of players and 9TH
ers were present to witness the con-
tests. From the jump the struggle
was something great to behold and
not until the end of the second game
was there anything even fairly GER
tain about it.
The first game resulted 21-19 and
the second 21-20.
LAS these contests are so long strung
out it is not likely that more than one
will, for the present at least. be play
ed in day. The players themselves
have this largely in hand, arranging
the games to suit their own convent
ence as to time.

FIRE HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE
DRYING ROOM-FAlRFlE
HOTEL DESTROYED

Abba. Jan. l. -(Special) The
Abba Steam Laundry plant was des-
troyed by fire yesterday. The fire had
it's origin in the drying room and by
the time it was discovered the entire
upper floor of the building was abaze
and it was with the greatest difficulty
the fire was kept from going to the
lower floor. The city hall of Abba ad-
joins the laundry and there was dan
ger that that building would go also.
Just to the rear of the laundry is the
plant Of the Abba Interurban Co.. and
there was fear that the fire would pre-
vent the running Of the cars. Such
setback at this time would have been
serious TO the company. The fire,
however. was overcome, and the only
damage was to the laundry building
Much of this weeks business had
been sent out the previous day and
that will cause the loss 70 be not so
heavy. The entire loss will be about
5000, with insurance to cover only
portion of that amount. Manager
| Worth states that the building will
be repaired and work resumed Just
as soon as possible. This is the second
| fire for the Abba laundry in recent
years. and at each time the financial
loss has fallen heavily upon them.

Broadway Hotel in Ashes.

Fairfield. Jan. /. = Where the
Broadway hotel formerly stood empty
and blackened ruins are seen today
as evidence Of the fire fiend which
Quilted the building THURSDAY.
All the guests escaped with little
inconvenience to themselves The en-
ployes of the hotel lost practically ev-
erything they possessed, being barely
able to escape in their might robes.
Their rooms were on the Upper floor.
The firemen fought the flames with
zeal and probably saved the house to
the west of the hotel from being con.
sumed The roof of the hotel was
doomed before the hose companies got
action upon it and their efforts were
directed largely to saving the con
tents. The contents of most of the
rooms on the lower floor Were saved
1t is thought the fire Was started
from defective kitchen flue, as a fir,
had been started about clock Il

the district court would be conclusive
of the issues in this case and in view
of the fact that a trial of this case at
this time would incur heavy costs to be
paid by this county and a decision OF
the case, which ever side it might be
in favor of, would not be decisive of
the question, | believe that it would
be in furtherance of justice to continue
the trial of this case until after the
question of the sufficiency and legality
OF said revocation petition shall have
been determined by the district court
Il, therefore, move the court to con-
tinue the trial of this case until after
the hearing for temporary injunction
in the equity case before referred to,
for the reason that substantial justice
will thereby be more nearly obtained"
The attorneys for the defendant and
Mr.. Hunter, representing d. NJ. Silence.
opposed the motion of the county at
torney, who was the attorney really
representing the real interests of the
state of Iowa and the taxpayers vt
Wapello county Justice Melick, as
has been stated, sustained the motion
and the case was continued.
Our law provides that case of this
kind can not be dismissed, without the
consent of the county attorney. Not
withstanding this fact, Mr.. Hunter,
representing D. M Silence, without
the consent of the county attorney, at
tempted to dismiss this case and at
| once had another information filed by
his client, D. NJ. Silence, before the po-
| lice Judge and the same is now be
! ing tried before Judge Kirby in his
ex-officio capacity of a justice of the
peace.
| 1t will readily be seen by reading
of the motion above set out that thu
position of Mr. Cornell, the county
attorney and the man properly select,
ed to represent the interests Of the
state of Iowa in these matters, is that
this case can benefit no one,
| The only possible benefit that we
can now see in the trial of this case tc
any one is that the liquor interests
will be able to satisfy themselves as tC
the sufficiency and validity of this pc
tition at the expense of the taxpayers
of Wapello county.
| We are informed that Captain Han
non holds this petition insufficient v {
do not know in whose interest Mr.
| Harmon is acting and we believe hin
to be wholly mistaken.
] Yours very truly,
Lowenberg & Coen.
