Theodore Roosevelt, William H.

newspapers.
If the defendants should fight the
case at least year probably wiki
elapse before they can be brought be-
fore the bar of the district supreme
court for trial.
William Nelson Cromwell said:
"The indictment of the New York
World and the Indianapolis News is
not an indictment of the press of the
United States, as they would like to
have it appear. to obtain the support
of the general press of the country.
am in favor Of free and unmuzzled
press"
The indictments against all the
parties are substantially identical,
and are very elaborate, setting out a
complete history of the transactions
by which the United States acquired
title to the Panama canal property
from the French company. Extensive
quotations from news articles and ed
itorials, published both by the New
York World and by the Indianapolis
News, are given in the indictments.
In addition, they contain the I'M
usual feature of Photographic like
nesses of the men who have figured
in the stories, and the reproductions
of cartoon which appeared in the
Indianapolis News representing Nor
man e. Mack digging up evidence in
the canal zone against Cromwell,
Charles P. Taft and J. P. Morgan, who
are represented as overlooking the
operation. The World pictures of
Charles P. Taft, Douglas Robinson
and William Nelson Cromwell, pub
lished in connection with the story
About Great Panama Deal" ere re-
produced in the indictment against
that paper.

WORLD MAKES STATEMENT
Says President Abuses Power to Sat
isfy Desire For Revenge.

isfy Desire For Revenge.
New York, Feb. 1S.-Bowers &
Sands, of counsel for the World, said
they had no statement to make con-
corning the indictments returned at
Washington, but that the defendants
would be entitled to hearing in this
city unless they waived examination
and decided to go to Washington. In
a statement the World says in part:
"This persecution, If. 1t succeeds,
will place every newspaper in the
country which circulates in Washing
ton-and there are few Of importance
which do not circulate there-com-
pletely at the mercy OF an autocratic,
vainglorious president who is willing
to prostitute his authority for the
qualification of his personal malice.
Few newspapers make large profits.
Most of them could be ruined finan-
cially by the legal expense of defend
ing themselves hundreds of miles
from the place of publication and
against the tremendous resources Of
the United States government.
mr.. Roosevelt Is now abusing his
great power as president to exploit
his political malice. The libel pro-
ceedings have no other object than to
enable Mr.. Roosevelt to use the ma
chinsry Of the United States govern
ment to satisfy his personal desire
for revenge.
We say this reluctantly, but we
say it without qualification, because
It Is true.
mr. Roosevelt is an episode. The
world Is an institution"

COUNTY CLERKS MAKING GOOD
Auditor Right on Their Heels and
They Have No Time to Hunt
For Their Shortages.

PADUCAH,. KY, Feb. 1S.-A
State official who was in Paducah
this week stated that of the country
clerks in the 119 counties of Ken
lucky fully 100 of them are engaged
in paying money which has not been
accounted for to the State. This
is the result of the State Auditors
vigorous policy, following the dis
coverv of the shortages in one cOun-
ty Office and the precautions of Judge
Booze.
Another Western Kentucky clerk
has been found short, but it is believ-
ed no prosecution will result. Few of
the shortages are less than a thou
sand dollars, and when all have been
madeup the State will be reimbursed
close to 100000.

JOHNSON 10 To4
 TO WIN FROM kETCHEL.
Even Money on Knockout Inside of IS Rounds-onIy Bad Weather Can ln- terfere Now.

San Francisco, Oct 15.-The disqui- eting rumor that tomorrow's cham pion fight betwen Jack Johnson and Stanley Ketchsl might be declared off because of a dispute over the $5,000 side bet agitated the pugilistic world today. but the official announcement of Promoter Coffroth tonight that he had taken possession of the S10,000 staked by the two principles has allayed all fears. He has deposited it with a bus mess man to the credit of the two prin- cipals.
 Nothing now is likely to interfere with the fight. Weather conditions alone can prevent it. for the Sunshine Arena" has no cover. but the predic- tion is for clear weather.
 The fight is scheduled for twenty rounds and Will begin tt 3 D. m. after tow ten round preliminaries. Jack Welsh will be the referee The bet ting continues at 10 to 4 that Johnson will win and at even money that he will knock Ketchel out in les than 15 rounds. There was no rush of Ketehel money today to raise the odds and the poolrooms still hold enough coin to keep the odds stable for some time. Johnson expects to fight at 194 pounds and Ketchel at 175.
 Considerable money was wagered to- day on the 15 round proposition.

Even Money Generally Placed.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
RECOVERY CONTINUES.
U. s. steefs Rapid Advance Set Pace
 for Entire Market.

New York Oct. 15.-Prices of stocks today continued the vigorous recovery which set in yesterday. United States Steel was the dominant leader of the speculation and its rapid advance set the tone for the whole market. Of scarcely less influence on sentiment was the new prominence assumed by St. Paul, Amalgamated Copper and Union Pacific, which are supposed to be the favorite speculative mediums of the Standard Oil party. The movement in these stocks had the effect of quiet ing an apprehension professed by an element of the speculation that the Morgan movement in the market did not have the support and approval of the Standard Oil party. The concur rent revival of strength in Reading made an important addition to the faVoring influences. There was no obvious explanation of the revival of strength in the market in the news of the day. The tone of the money mar ket was somewhat easier in the call loan division in spite of the forecast of another heavy decline in the cash holdings of the banks for the week. and the supply of funds was reported to be larger. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $4,164 900. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

 COUNTING ON MULLIN.
Tigers an and g to 10 Favorite-Aw-
 ful Weather Conditions Likely.

Detroit, Oct. 15.-The seventh and decisive game of the great worlds championship series between Pittsburg and Detroit win be played here to- morrow. weather permitting. From the present indications the weather condi- tions for tomorrow will be the worst of the series. Tonight it is raining and almost showing, with high winds, and the thermometer lowering about the freezing point. A continuance of the same sort of weather is expected and if the game is played it will prob baly sbe under conditions which will prevent good baseball by either team.
 Wild Rush for Seats.
 Despite the untoward weather con- ditions it is freely predicted that if the game is played tomorrow it will be witnessed by the largest crowd that ever saw game Tn this city. The re- served seats were put on sale at Ben nett park today, and a wild rush en- sued.
 MuIin vs. Adams.
 Under the present weather conditions the pitchers will be George Mullin for Detroit and Charles Adams for Pitts burg. Each of these twirlers has won two games in the series. Adams de- feated Mullin in the opening game. but poor fielding behind the Detroit pitcher tohttlOul'd pO t1p Oeleal, Tor he held Pittsburg to one less hit than was made by Detroit. Adams again de- feated Detroit in the fifth game at Pittsburg and this time clearly out pitched Summers and Willett. Mullin has pitched three games and won two, while Adams has pitched in only two and won both.
 Hurt Players Will Probably Take Part.
 It is almost certain the three hurt Detroit players-Tom' Jones. George Moriarty and Charles Schmidt-wifl be in the lineup. Tom Jones was at Bennett park for the morning practice but did not participate in title is be- wailing the loss of his pet glove more than his injury. In the confusion aft CT he was injured yesterday his glove disappeared. He has offered a reward Tor it's return, and hopes to have it in time to use it in tomorrow's game. Schmidt and Moriarty are certain to start in the game.
 Even Money Generally Placed.
 Large amounts of money have been wagered on the game and while the bulk is being placed at even money. Detroit has been made an and to 10 favorite in many of the bets.
 The Detroit supporters are betting heavily on their team and are confi- dent Mullin will be able to perform the remarkable feat of pitching four games in seven game series and winning

 wich Association Football.

The members of the Norwich asso- ciation football club turned out again Saturday at Sachem park for prac- tice. While the attendance of players was not up to that of tlIe previous Saturday, yet there were enough to make it interesting.
 Some of ike new members give promise of being valuable assets to the team with little more practice. Most of last years team are again available and altogether Norwich may be counted on to give a good show ing this season. There win be only one more Saturday for practice before the opening league game which takes place October s23 on the home ground so it is hoped that all who wish to make the club go will turn out at 2.3e next Saturday.
