Ithaca. " Y. Oct. 20.-Twice in one
speech tonight Professor E H. Woodruff
of Cornell University, called Theodo-e
Roosevelt A liar, once an 'unnaitisated
liar" His attack, made at a political rally
over which he presided, threw the house
into an uproar There We're catcalls hisses
cheers and clapping. with a steady shout
behind them all of Parker. Parker" for
the next speaker eX-Judge Alton e.
Parker Judge Parker sprang to his feet
and begged the audience to allow Professor
Woodruff to be heard. The noisier part Of
the house complied and the rest of the
evening went more quietly.
AS soon as Professor Woodruff found his
feet he began to open up the Bellamy
Storer episode. which Colonel Roosevelt
only recently declared was closed He
charged that when the former President
denied sending Bellamy Storer TO the Vati-

there were letters in his Office said the
professor, to bear him out
The uproar over this attack had barely
subsidized when the professor took up his
cudgels again. Mr.. Roosevelt was twice a
liar, he said. when he denied that the late
l.. H Hartman had subscribed to a cor
ruption fund to be used for Roosevelts s
election TO the Presidency. He closed with
a quotation from the Italian historian of
Rome, Ferrero, transferred from Clodius
