COL. ROOSEVELT DENIES REPORT OF
 POLITICAL. PLANS
Says There Will be no Keynote Speech by Him to Open Next
 Congressional Campaign.

(F'rom a Staff Cores. of United Press)
 London, June 9.-There will be no Keynote" speech by Colonel Roosevelt to open the next Congressional cam paign as planned by the men in con- trol of the League of Republican clubs. The annual convention of that organi- zation to be held in New York next month will have to get along without the inspiration of the presence of the former president. Not only that but the story that he has planned a speak ing tour which will carry him from New York westward as far as the Rockies and south to Texas, is not for political speeches nor will he until he reaches home.
 Colonel Roosevelt today authorized the United Press to deny the report that he accepted the invitation of Congressman Moore of Philadelphia to address the League of Republican clubs In his letter regretting that he could not be present and make an ad- dress. the ex-President states that he has made no arrangements to partici- pate in political gatherings and can- not do so at the present time.
 The Colonel is annoyed by the re- ports from the United States of ex- tensive engagements made for political speeches., While he will not discuss the reports his close friends point out that the stories are undoubtedly being circulated for political effect. They declare that in many instances the false statements of alleged political engagements are undoubtedly circu- lated by members of the regular Re publican organization.
 The only positive engagement of even a semi political nature made by MT. Roosevelt is to attend the dinner ar ranged by Robert J. Collier in New York and that was fixed before Roose- welt started from Africa.
 The Roosevelts are spending their last day in England at the country home of Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secretary at New Forest. They will sail for home tomorrow on the Kaiser in Auguste Victoria.
 A special train will carry Mrs. Roosevelt. Kermit, Ethel and Mrs. Longworth from London to Southamp- ton station where Colonel Roosevelt who will remain over night with Sir Edward Grey, will join his family At Southampton, a special tender char tered by the Hamburg line, will take the party to the liner. The Imperial suite, embracing four large rooms. forward on the port side of the promenade deck, will be occupied by the Colonel and his wife A three room suite on the same side of this deck has been reserved for Mrs Long worth and the other two children.

There is one other pleasure which really and truly does the effective work of the woodchopper's vigorous exercise and perspiration. This meas ure is the Atlas Turkish baths It's use is increasing even though people do not understand just why it is of so much benefit for a person confined indoors at some sedentary occupation. There is hardly any influence which will do more to promote general phy- sical well being than a weekly Turkish bath at the big, perfectly equipped Hotel Atlas Turkish Baths, Fairfield avenue near Broad street. always open under the personal supervision of Prof Atlas.

SUED THE WRONG MAN
Peculiar Case Thrown Out Of Court
and Plaintiff Pays Bill

Middlebury. March 5.--Charles
Westfall, a Middlebury jeweler was
sued by Justice Dickens court here
Friday by an East Middlebury man
for 500 the value of two watches
which he claimed to have left for re.
pair about year ago. The plaintiff
and other witnesses testified that he
had SO left the watches with Westfall
and that upon repeated request for
their return the defendant denied
that he had ever had the watches in
his possession. The defendant testi-
fed that he had never had them or
seen them, whereupon another local
jeweler brought the watches into
court, claiming that the plaintiff had
left them with him for repair about
a year ago and had never called for
them
The case of the plaintiff thereupon
thrown out of court and he was fore
ed to pay the cost of the hearing as
well as to pay the right man for re-
pairing the watches.
