rms aroused Representative Madi-
son "i Kansas who said he still be-
lleNcd In the integrity Of Roosevelt
ana a spirited colloquy followed,
Mr. Earle said that he had come to
the conclusion that the real estate
company had failed because Of the
sugar rate war between the American
Sugar Company and the Pennsylvania
Sugar Refining Company The Real
Estate Trust Company owed much
to the latters stock.
"Bonaparte told me that the pros
ccutlon against the sugar trust was
ruled out by the Knight case and he
sent me brief of the case. Mr..
Roosevelt refused to look at my tes-
tImony ! made appeals through let
tors TO Mr. Bonaparte and called, but
never reached him. When ! first laid
my case before Mr. Purdy of the De-
partment OF Justice, he said.
That is the very thing we have
been wanting We viii put the - -
I'm jail. But no action was ever or
dered by Mr.. Bonaparte. In April,
l9OI ! went on my own account and
brought suit against the sugar trust
I'm the southern District of New York.
l lost on a demurrer, appealed and
won, and when the case was on trial,
1t was settled.
81 used to think Theodore Roose-
Welt the greatest man in the universe
and tho people Of Kansas still do"
said Mr. Earle.
Have you ever had any trouble
with Mr. Roosevelt" asked Chairman
lIardwick.
mot at all I voted for him twice
and stumped for him and when l
went to him about the prosecution OF
the sugar trust, | felt sure something
would be done"
Mr. Earle said he had had but one
conversation with Colonel Roosevelt
in many years, "He slapped me on
the back ana asked me If my course
at Harvard had done me any good.
In that particular way Of his he said
something to me in Latin which
did not understand.
see you know your Latin he
said / said | did, but | did not un-
derstand a word
Talking TO the President in Latin
made me feel silly" said Mr.. Earle.
Mr. Earle could not give the definite
date OF the Latin conversation with
Roosevelt, but said It was the only
one he remembered he had with the
President in many years, or since the
two left Harvard
"Have you ever been prosecuted
because OF your antipathy to the
sugar eust?' asked Representative
Madison
Not at all said Earle
