Capt. Harry New. formerly chairman
of the Republican national commit

The Indianapolis News gives
Roosevelt reason for thus speak Of

had them indicted.
!. Some one introduced Judge Ander-
son to Roosevelt at the club. This
introduction was acknowledged by
Roosevelt. aud Judge Anderson pass
led on. New opposed the appoint
ment Of Anderson rs judge. When
Capt. New saw. Jhdge Anderson pre-
rsented to Roosevelt he thought he
saw a chance to disabuse Rooscvel5'a 3
mind OF any prejudice that might
that might exist there on account
of MT. News opposition to the ap.
pointment.

T And with that Roosevelt moved
along and New gave over the busi-
ness OF introducing people to some
one else.
The matter has caused sensa-
ton and much bitter feeling among
the, members of the Columbia Club,
which is the oldest and most ex-
elusive Republican organization IN
Indiana. Judge Anderson is a mem
Der of the club. Efforts have be IN
made to prevent the story getting
out, but it is being discussed quiet
ly by hundreds of public men.
Judge Anderson is one Of the not
cd lawyers Of Indiana. He Is an al
dent Republican but not a politician.
His appointment was made largel,
on the recommendation of Senator
Deveridge. in whose behalf Col.
Roosevelt came here to SPEAK.
Judge Anderson has presided over
the Federal court Of the Indiana dis:
trict for several years, during which
time he has made a fine record. :.

t.andis court in Chicago at the petit
tion for re-hearing Of the famous
ls29,OO0,000 fine case against the
Standard Oil Company. He threw
