ROOSEE VEL 7
is ANGE RED
He Places Col. George
Harvey in the famous
Ananias Club

New York. Aug. Colonel Roosc,
welt yesterday added another distin.
guished member TO the Ananias club
In the person of Colonel George Hnr-
veys editor OF the North American Re.
view.
The initiation took place In the of.
flee of the Outlook. OF which Colonel
Roosevelt Is contributing editor, and
the new member. while not actually
present, was put through with much
vim and considerable bounce
While Colonel Roosevelt did not use
the shorter and uglier word" In con.
nection with Colonel Harvey, his Ian
guage was distinctly blunt and plain.
The reopening of the club. which
was closed just prior to Mr. Roose-
velt's departure for Africa, was
brought about through an article In
the August number of the North
American Review. entitled "Is Roose-
welt an Asset OF a Liability" and
which was signed THE Editors" In
a paragraph at the top OF page ISL,
this sentence occurs, But recently
Roosevelt, the man, declared that II a
national election were to be held next
November, he undoubtedly would be
the Republican candidate and would
win"
When Colonel Roosevelt saw this.
his eyes snapped and his teeth clicked
as he almost shouted:
That Is simply falsehood:
have never said anything like that"
II was pointed out to Colonel Roose-
welt that Colonel Harvey evidently
meant 10 convey the impression that
he could be forced into accepting the
nomination. BY that time Colonel
Roosevelt appeared extremely angry
and, again repeating that he had
never made the statement attributed
TO him, made rush for the waiting
elevator.
New York. Aug. 2-"It may be un.
seemly for me 10 engage with Mr..
Roosevelt In a controversy involving
a question of yeracity. That which !
wrote. of course is true" said Colonel
George Harvey al his home at Deal
Lake, n. j.. last night.
