President Said to Be of 0pin-
ion That 1t Would Be Un-
dignified Action for Chief
Executive.
WILLIAM N. CROMWELL
BEFORE GRAND JURY
He Repeats His Testimony in
Denial That Any of $780,
100000 for Canal Came
Back to America.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Roosevel:
will not go before the district grand
jury in the newspaper libel suits, as
has been stated. Were he a private
citizen nothing would please him
more, but as the chief executive he
considers it undignified to be ques
toned by the inquisitorial body. 1,
can be set down as a positive fact
that the president will not rest until
the editors whom he claims have de
famed Charles P. Taft and Douglas
Robinson. have been brought before
some tribunal for trial.
William Nelson Cromwell was be
fore the grand jury today and is un
derstood to have repeated to the grand
jurors the statements made by him
last fall in his denial that any part OF
$40,000,000 paid by the government
for the Panama canal came back tc
the United States and that therefore
neither Charles P. Taft nor Douglas
Robinson could be guiltyOf the charg
es that they profited financially in the
transaction. Over two hours were
consumed in Cromwell's examination
The grand jury adjourned until Mon
day.

careful and reliable workman. The
climax of his latent hatred for Wealth
he opened fire upon the marshal with
out so much as warning word.
Anbushed His Enemy.
Neighbors say it had been the GUS
tom of Weatherby to stop for a friend
ly "chat" with Mrs. Hendrickson
when on his rounds lighting lamps.
1t is supposed Hendrickson was aware
of this circumstance. At any rate he
hurried home from work Saturday af-
ternoon and did not let his wife know
of his presence. 1t has not been learn
ed definitely whether the man had
his shotgun in the woodshed Or whetn-
er he was in the house, when Weather
by arrived and hurried from there to
the woodshed to secure the gun. 1t
is believed more probable that he had
been in hiding to await his chance at
his enemy's life.
Bravery Of the Son.
That there was not double murder
was due only to the presence of mind
and remarkable bravery of the ten
year-old son. The youth saw his faith
er enter the shed and had followed
him. He was standing near when the
shot was fired that made Weatherby
corpse. The lad saw his father take
aim again but by this time had reach
ed the side of his father and with a
lunge knocked the gun aside, SO that
the shot went wide of the mark. Mrs
Hendrickson turned toward the house
when she saw Wheatherby shot, but
had taken only few steps when she
heard the shot that brought death to
her husband. Tonight she is prostrated
with grief.
When told of the death of her hus-
band, and the tragic manner in which
it occurred, Mrs. Weatherby was made
almost unconscious by the shock
Great sympathy is expressed for her
and the three small children. The
woman is held Altogether free from any
responsibility and the sympathy of
friends was extended. as they realized
how great must be her suffering and
remorse.

NO CHARGES OF FRAUD

County Elections.

Indianapolis, Jan. 23.-There was
no surprise today when Chairman
Jackson of the democratic state COM
mittee issued an official statement
setting forth that his party would
abandon the proposed contest for
state officers which were won in the
recent election by the republicans.
Mr.. Jackson's declaration is volum-
inous, but in part, follows:
ITO the voters of the state of Indiana:
"On behalf of the members of the
democratic state ticket, who, upon the
face of the returns. are shown not to
have been elected at the recent elec-
ton. l am authorized to make a public
statement to you. They desire to say
that above all other considerations
and beyond any mere question of the
holding of office. they are extremely
desirous of being considered patriotic
enough to lay aside any of their per-
sonal rights and privileges. when, by
so doing, they can serve the best in
terests Of the people of the state OF
Indiana. They naturally feel, and 1t
is the judgment of many good men.
offices for which they were candi-
dates"
Lake County Base.
They make no charges of fraud or
dishonesty against any person in the
State of Indiana. but they do call at
tention to the fact that, either through
the laxity of the election laws. or In
some other way, which is we'll calcu-
lated to raise a suspicion in the minds
of honest men. the returns were delay
ed from day to day until finally it was
ascertained that. on the face OF the re-
turns. they were defeated men. They
feel that, from a moral standpoint,
the elective franchise was debauched
in the county of Lake, and that per-
sons voted therein who had not the
slightest conception of the duties Of
citizenship and who had not been even
in the United States OF America for the
full period of one year.
Sacrifice to PEOPLES Interest.
while they think. as all right
minded men think, that the safety Of
our institutions must permanently rest
upon the purity of the American bal.
lot. still they do not think that the
perpetuity of those institutions de-
pends exclusively upon their holding
office in Indiana. They have there
fore concluded, in what they belive
to be a spirit of seif-sacrifice to the
