AuLD TELLS HIS STORY
Miss Arnes Wishes TO Relate
"Real Cause but Is Stopped

Boston, Mass. February 9.-The
CharIestown navy yards social set,
which has crowded the big dance hall
three times this wecE at tho court
martial of Paymaster George P. Aud
for conduct unbecoming a gentleman
and officer. Just missed hearing to-
day from the lips of one OF the nu-
1nerous women witnesses what she
claimed was the real cause OF the
e1ectment of Dr.. Il. S. Cowles from
the dance of December II. Miss Mar
garet Amel, daughter of DR.. Ames, OF
the navy wanted to tell tho cause. but
the court preferred to hear Paymaster
Auld's version of the affair. The
DAYS session was practically given PIP
to the young officers defense OF him
self.
II appeared from his statement that
several of the dancing set at the yard
discussed Or. Cowles for days before
the dance. and Mr.. Auld said that he
then received permission from Miss
Ames to have DR.. Cowles kept from
Tho dance on account OF certain stories,
in which the name of Miss Dorothy
ueslcr of Evanston, ILL.,. was involved.
Then came the incident at the dance.
! when Mr.. Auld asked DR.. Cowles To
retire from the hall. following which
tho two met in the corridor below and
continued their alteration with DR.. q.

MORE ROOSEVELT LUCK.

What has happened 10 Roosevelt i'll New York
bv reason of the thnly concealed bargain for the
support of Hearst is in danger OF happening TO
Governor Harmon in Ohio. by reason of the I'M
piled support Of ex-senator Foraker.
As in New York the votes which man OF
llearsts telnperamfnt will be able to throw
against Dix will be largely overbalaneed by the
votes which will be thereby scared away from
Simson, So we suspect the practical support OF
Harmon by Foraker will have the effect of weak
ening. instead of adding strength 10 an otherwise
admirable situation viewed from Democratic
standpoint.
Foraker attacked Roosevelt, while making what
was nominallv a speech in aid of the Republican
campaign Apart from the natural jealousy of
the ex-President by Mr. Tatts Ohio friends,
such course could nor have been taken except
with the clear purpose of gaining revenge. 1t
was bound to bring about a degree of demorali-
zation in the Republican camp, in which the fire
alarm still has many friends. But we hesitate
10 throw up cap at the spectacle, because we
believe that il will result in awakening sym
pathv for Roosevelt which has hitherto not been
manifest in Ohio When the Colonel gets started
in campaign in which he will probably be adroit
enough to speak well or the administration Wltn-
out committing himself to ii, the revulsion against
Foraker may be Of proportions sufficient to ma
teraly iniure the Democratic cause.
Foraker's seal was which the country gen
orally was glad 10 hanging at the belt of the
strenuous one. In his case the thud of the big
stick met with a popular reception. IN his fight
against the once powerful Ohioan, the then Presi-
dent Roosevelt had the opportunity to make
real fight for that ,'decencyn about which he is so
fond Of talking. In The Foraker instance the
Hearst disclosures were based on something more
than the usual blast Of IA ready slanderer. For
aker smelled To high heaven OF Standard Oil.
Neither his former record nor his furious pro-
ttstation could stop tie verdict. Roosevelt won
rs usual In that east, the Jury of public opinion
reached The unanimous verdict that he deserved
to win,
Denunciaton at this time by the man whom he
numerically whipped from public life will do
anything except injure Roosevelt In the case
Of Foraker he is fortunate in the possession Of
his enemy We could wish that at this time the
ex-Senaior would turn and denounce Harmon
a BIZ, For the time has come when victory JOYS

THE PEOPLE OF VESUVIUS.

struetise floods and storms which sweeping
The vicinity Of Naples and the villages clustering
around the volcano are directly traceable 10 the
renewed outbreak of sullen anger on the part Of
this sleeping but restless natural monster
Already there are beginning to drift il from
the afflicted districts the usual tales Of death and
destruction. Villages in some instances are COW
cred with ashes In others they have been wiped
from the map by streams of lava flowing from the
mountainside In other Instances the sea- torn
with commissions in It's bed, has risen and swept
,levastatinglv over the streets. These things are
moi new 10 tie people. The terrors they carry are
familiar. They are what all experience teaches
NAV be expected again and again. Why do these
people live III such territory. Why do they
persist in walking literally over the crust of
volcano Why, for their own sakes, and for
the sake Of their children do tiiey not 20 where
their dreams will not be constantly shot through
with the nightmare of impending destruction.
The answer lies somewhere deep in the unrea-
s,ninc breast of human nature The habit of
environments is strong upon these people. They
have the honing instinct. They distrust new
places new faces new cndeayors Riches will
not tempt them away. Safety, much they
would be expected TO value it. would not com
pensate them fer the loss Of their familiar sur
roundnes A. dog Will return 10 the scene of
