COL. ROOSEVELT DENIES
 A IHinJ IERA STORY
A Genoese Newspaper Said That the Ex-President Had Agreed to Let His Name Be Presented As
 a Candidate.

Vienna, April 16.-Mr. Roosevelt was very indignant when he learned that a report had been printed in Paris and cabled to Amelica that one of the re- suits of the recent conferences with Clifford Pinchot Was an agreement on the part of the ex-lTesident to the use of his name as candidate for the presidency.
 MT. Roosevelt again reiterated that he had not and would not make any declaration in regard to Americatn politics while in Europe" He had re- ceived and talked with MT. Pinchot, he said, as he would receive and talk with any other political friend. Mir. Roosevelt said he would hereafter de- cline to receive the newspaper cores pondent who had given currency to this report.
 The story to which MT. Roosevelt referred appeared originally in the Se- colo XIX of Genoa. and was repeated in special dispatches to Paris and to the United States. It asserted that MT. Roosevelt had reached an agreement with MT. Pinchot that if it became op- perfume he would become a presiden- tial candidate.

GOV. PATTERSON PARDONS
 COL. DUNCAN B. COOPER
The Tennesseean Convicted of Senator Carmack's Murder Goes Forth Free Man by the Execu-
 tive's Action.

Nashville. Tenn, April 15.-Col. Duncan B. Cooper, found guilty of kill. ing ex-Senator E. w. Carmack and eentenced to 20 years Imprisonment, was granted full pardon by Gov. Patterson just after the Tennessee su- preme court had reaffirmed his sen. tence.
 Robin, son of Col Cooper, found guilty with his father of Killing Car mack, was remanded to the lower court for a new trial by the supreme court In the younger mans case the supreme court was divided, Chief Justice Beard reading a dissenting opinion.
 Gov. Patterson's pardon for Col. Cooper says: Tn my opinion neither of the defendants is guilty and they have not had an impartial trial" The reversal in the case of Robin is based on assignments of error in the trial iudge's failing to charge separately as 10 Robin Cooper's theory of self-de- fense, linking the defense of the two defendants together.
 Col. Cooper was still at the capitol when the pardon was entred iii the secretary of states office. He was at once surrounded by a crowd of friends seeking to congratulate him. He was as calm and even cheerful through it all as If he had received an acquittal. The reversal in his sons case seemed to interest and please him to the ex. clmsion of his own fate.

DOING GOOD WORK AT PANAMA
All But 7o,s71,594 Cubic Yards of Earth Have Been Removed for
 the Canal.

Washington, April 16-Although it was generally known that splendid progress had been made by the army engineers in digging the Panama canal, the statement contained in the canal records, just at hand, comes as a surprise that all of the excavation that was contemplated Tn the original pro ject has been completed Under that plan 103, ,795,000 cubic yards of ma terial were to be removed, and that has been done. Bnt subsequently,, in order to accommodate naval vessels of the Drsadnought type and the giant liners now under construction, the president ordered the widening and deepening of the canal prism. That Involved the removal of 70,S71,594 ad- ditional yards of material, and that is all of the task of excavation that confronts the engineers.
 The record of accomplishment has been without precedent in engineer ing undertakings. The real work of digging did not begin until 1907 in which year nearly 16,000, GOO cubic yards of earth were moved, and since that time the daily average has been steadily growing until now in 3A years all of the excavation called for in the original plan has been accom- plished. Last month 3,0ol479 yards of material were taken out and this in the face of the heaviest rains known on the isthmus during the month of March.

HOW CAAsDA PROPOSES
 10 DEAL WITH TRUSTS
A Bill Introduced in Parliament pro. so'ns ter Trial of Complaints by Special Commission of
 Four Men.

Ottawa, Ontario, April 14.-Tbe rec. ulatlon of trusts is the object of a government bill which Mackenzie King, minister of labor, offered for adoption by the Canadian Parliament The bill provides that where complaint IS made that trust or combination IS operating unduly to enhance prices or Tor restraint of trade, a commits. sion shall be appointed with power to make thorough Investigation. There will be three commissioners one nom mated by the parties making the com piaint, one by the trust complained against, while the third. who is to De the chairman, must be a judge of a superior court.
 II It is found that the complaint is justified, the commission shall advise measures which the trust shall take to correct the abuses or they may ad. vlse that the tariff protection on the articles produced by the trust be re. voked. If the trust does not obey the finding by the commission it shall he med thousand dollars day until It obeys.
 Tn urging approval of the bill. MT. King said it's object was not to do away with the trusts and combinations A lesson had been taken from the experience of the United States. It had been found impossible to en- force the Sherman law without de- stroying business in the United States. The purpose of the Canadian bill, Mir King continued, was to in sure that the people would share in the benefits resulting from combina- tions and to see that the trusts or combinations did not retain all the benefits to themselves and take ad. vantage of their control of lines of production improperly to raise prices to consumers.
