Roosevelt And The Frank.

To several newspaper men on the train Col Roosevelt talked about his work. He said that just now it was far heavier than it was when he was president. He referred to the fact that some newspapers were opposed to the grant of the franking privilege to him, and said that some people did not realize that, simply because of the fact that he had been president, he was put to an extra expense of more than 5000 a year, most of which was ex- pended in telegrams. His mail has been rapidly increasing, and he has only one secretary.-New York Times.
 But how much additional income does MT. Roosevelt receive from his connection with the New York Outlook which connection is solely due to the fact that he is an president? Is not the sum a good deal more than s5OO0 a year? The large sums that were paid Grover Cleveland for his published writings after he ceased to be president more than compensated him for the added expenses of living consequent on the fact that he had been president of the United States. MT Roosevelt will derive in one way or another an income of probably s25,S00 a year from his ex- presidential pres tige and there is no reason why he should be granted the franl<ing privilege or any other privilege not possessed by other American citizens.

His head and shoulders were below the wires at the time, not hav- ing gotten up among them, although h his hands might have been and re- ceived a charge. There are two alter hating current wires on the pole carry ing 2,300 volts but If they were touch- ed it must have been with his hands. His foot may have been on the tele- phone company's cable but with his hands above his head MT. Malaga said he could not say just where they Were.
 It was also related that he was taken across the road and all the at tention possible given him the resi- dents there assisting and later he was taken to the hospital.
 It is in connection with the duties of his office that the coroner is con ducting the inquest and after eXamin- ing one or two and possibly more wit nesses today he will give his decision as to whether there was any criminal negligence on the part of anyone which entered into the case or whether his death resulted from his own act.

For the purpose of determining if there was any negligence on the part of any one in connection with the death of Edward Hart, who died as the result of a fall from a pole on Laurel Hill avenue, Coroner Franklin H. Brown is holding an inquest and has already examined three witnesses rela- tive to the circumstances. Today fe will have one or two more witnesses before him to find out what they may know about the matter
 The three witnesses examined Thurs day at the coroner's office were Line Foreman Edward Malaga of the gas and electric department, Lineman liar ry Tracy and John Starr who was Hart's helper, both being at work on the same job with the deceased
 John Starr was on the ground at the foot of the pole when Edward Hart started to climb it. He saw him start but had his back towards him when he fell so that he was unable to state just what the circumstances were that caused the fall.
 MT. Malaga saw Hart just as he started to fall. He saw him holding up his hands, lean back from the pole and then spring away diving downward and striking the sidewalk on his head,
