Root insisted that the president had

surance to other governments that GER

unduly apprehensive and that the an.

trolman to get back the best way
they could.
e. Y. Sarles and Treadwell
TwichelI were the ring leaders in

SENDS A SPECIAL MESSAGE
PRESIDENT URGES THAT CON-
eREss TAKE IMMEDIATE STEPS
TO SEE THAT NosTRUMs CAN
NOT Be SOLD AS "cuRE FOR
coNsUMPTivEs.p


Washington, June 21.-In a mes
sage prepared In New York and
transmitted through the White
House today to congress, President
Taft scathingly arraigned the man
ufacturers Of what he denounced
as dangerous drug frauds" and
urged congress to amend at this
session the pure food and drug
law 10 strengthen that act in vital
points of weakness recently point
ed out by decisions q kh United
States supreme court.
President Taft believes that I'M
less the law is. amended forthwith
the country will again be flooded
by Injurious nostrums" and "cure
alIs" which were common before
the pure food law first was en-
acted.
The message was transmitted
both to the senate and house and
it was said early today that the
latter would take up the matter at
an early date. Representative
SherIey Of Kentucky already has
introduced bill bearing on subject.

Mr.. Barnett made one Of the best
analysed talks that has ever been
given before a jury in this section OF
the country. His argument before
the jury this morning lasted not more
than forty minutes and the address
was most magnificent one.
The assistant u. S. attorney pointed
out to the jury the irnprobability OF
the story told by Newman on the wit-
ness stand this morning. He showed
where Newman's testimony held
many weak points, especially regard
ing the fact that he did not know
what he was doing. The fact that he
talked to Mason Jones after the shoot
ing, and then started OF across the
country ten minutes after, was brought
out in no unmistakable manner by
Judge Barnett.
The whole point on which the jury
may have to hang for a verdict, is
whether or not the shooting was pre-
meditated, and the prosecuting bar
lister told the jury that, in his opinion,
the shooting was one that was planned
out before hand by Newman.
Every indication now points to the
fact that the defense In the case of
the government against Samuel New
man, charged with the murder of Ros-
coe Conklin on the Fort Berthold res
ervation last October, will plead the
case on the grounds that Newman did
not know what he was doing when he
shot Conklin, If he did the act.
The testimony Of Newman, which
occupied the greater part of the time
OF the court this morning, showed
that he was not rational at the time of
the shooting. Furthermore the cross
examination vindicated this fact that
he was not in his right mind, and that
he knew nothing Of what happened 70,
several hours.
The fact that Mason Jones saw
Newman fire the shot that killed
Conklin, is believed to be the most
damaging evidence yet introduced in
the case. According to the story of
Jones. Newman acted rather queer at
the time. His finding the old gun, in
sorting bullet and firing at Conklin,
never saying word. making no facial
expression or uttering sound, will
undoubtedly be used to work on the
minds Of the jury that ne did not
know shat ne was doing when he shot
Conkiin.
Lowell Makes Argument.

uel Newman, charger y the murder
Of Roscoe Conklin o Fort Ber-
thold reservation, occl the greater
part of the afternoon in the u. S.
court with the argument for the de-
PENDANT.
The plea OF Mr.. Lowell was one Of
the most eloquent addresses ever heard
in the court. He went into the his
tory of the case ana portrayed the
scenes out on the reservation in a
most vivid manner, especially playing
UP the scene of the old father of New
man. White Face, when he crawled
out on the veranda to display his sor-
row and anguish at the death of Conk-
lin.
The argument called to the attention
OF the jurors that there should be no
prejudice in the case whatsoever
might have been the attendant circum-
stances. Because there had been no
disputing of the facts of the case did
not make Newman guilty of the crime
charged, was considered by the de-
Tending attorney. He also played upon
the fact that because there remained
undisputed that the killing took place,
was not an evidence of the guilt Of
Newman.
Mayor Lowell praised Attorney Bar
nett in very high manner throughout
his address and often called the OPP
posing counsel "the able and most
competent district attorney"
Newman on Stand.
Samuel Newman, the defendant in
the case of the U. s. government VS..
Newman, charged with manslaughter
in the first degree. was on the stand
this morning. Some of his testimony
was Of rather startling nature in
the fact that he claimed not to have
known anything of the shooting.
Newman's testimony was rather a
synopsis of the happenings up to the
time of the shooting and after the af-
fair. He also gave brief history of
his life. which was brought out by the
questions put to him by Attorney
Lowell.
The defendant stated that he was
S5 years old and that Conklin, who has
been his lifelong chum. was two years
his junior. Newman attended the
school at Fort stevenson for eight
years and was married In 1893. once
before he had been arrested, charged

A DEFENSE OF

Washington. d. c., June 21.--Elabor-
ating his defense OF trusts and COM
binations of sugar companies, Horace
Havemeyer, son of the late III. o. Have
meyer organizer of the so-called "su-
gar trust" today continued his tes-
timony before the house sugar COM
mittee. The witness limited his APP
proval, however to reasonable COM
binations."
He declared that combinations were
reasonable when they took In small
companies that were liable TO go into
bankruptcy. TIE classed the National
Sugar Refining Co.. in which he Is
seeking in the courts to establish his
control, as reasonable. Hayemeyer
again expressed the belief that con-
sumers OF sugar had benefited by the
creation OF combinations because the
producing cost had been reduced. In
response to Representative Fordney.
the witness said the consumer GER
tainly was paying no more for sugar
than he did before combinations.
