At Publication in Paris Of
Pres. Taft's Words
Regarding Our Attitude Toward
Foreign Affairs.


Washington. Nov. 29.-Regarding
the De Tessan interview in the Paris
Matin, the following statement was
given out at the White House. to-
day. by Secretary Hilles:
"An alleged interview in the Matin
of Paris. purporting to quote the
President on certain phases of the at
titude of the government of the Unit
ed States toward foreign affairs was.
this morning, brought to the attention
of the secretary to the President"
MIR. Hilles explained that much
surprise had been felt at the White
House in finding that a gentleman,
the cousin of the French military at
tache, coming introduced by the
French ambassador, should have
| thought, without any authorization, to
circulate as an interview his recollec-
ton of casual remarks made by the
President in the course of hurried con-
versations. The gentleman In question
Twas one of very large number re-
ceived during a busy morning and no
interview whatever was authorized"
Francois De Tessan was understood
at the White House to be cousin of
Count De Chamberun, military at
tache of the French embassy, and was
introduced to the President by Am
b&ssador Jusserand. Count De Cham
berun, late today. however, declared
that the French journalist was no re-
lation of his.

introduced, Wednesday,in-
to Stokes Shooting Case.
One Contains The Alleged State
ment by The Graham Girl
That Stokes Needn't Fear She Would
Make Him Trouble.

New York, Nov. 29.-Some of the ia
nous letters which have figured in
the case, two or three which had not
previously appeared, were brought to
the front sensationarly, today, i'll the
trial of Lillian Graham and Ethel
Conrad on the charge of shooting w.
F. ID. Stokes, the millionaire sports
man and former hotel proprietor. The
most important of the letters injected
into the evidence unexpectedly by the
show girls counsel, contained the al
legged statement by the Graham girl
that Stokes need not fear that she
would ever make him any trouble.
On eross-examnation after the in
PRODUCTION of the letter, Stokes claim
ed that it was signed before Miss Ora
ham left New York to visit his farm
at Lexington, Ky. This so-called CON
fession" or release was a part of the
evidence which the prosecution was
supposed to be holding back to spring
as a sensation later in the trial. but
it's production was demanded by At
torney Clark l.. Jordan, counsel for
Miss Graham, and it was introduced
as part of the evidence of the de-
fence. The note was undated.
Later in the session Mr.. Jordan tried
to get in the record the alleged fact
that Stokes had been in business with
his cousin, convicted of shooting Jim
Fisk. the noted sportsman and finan-
cier, and with Al Adams, the late pol
icy king but the court sustained OBJ
jections to the questions.
Stokes examination closed for the
day with the prosecution reading into
the evidence more than go letters al
legged to nave been written by Miss
Graham TO Stokes, asking him to come
and see her or to give her money.
Miss Graham collapsed when the read
ing was finished.
Tho cross-examination of the wealthy
hotel man thus far has been mainly
an attack on his character and an eff
fort TO show that in the case of Miss
Graham he was the pursuer and not,
as Stokes minated, the pursued.
Miss Graham had stepped out of the
parlor and back into the hallway
when she fired the first shot, Stokes
testified. today He was sure that ne
had not grabbed her before she fired
but he did seize the pistol afterwards.

possession.

OF Mass. Reverses Decree
Of Superior Court
Which Enjuined Lynn Lasiers
From Supporting Strike.

Boston, Nov. ga decision affecting
the rights of workmen to strike and
which it is believed will be OF far
reaching importance as a precedent,

It'll heneh or the supreme judicial
court OF Massachusetts, reversing a
decree or Judge Hitchcock of the SUI

Of Lasters' Local Union, No. /, OF

Randall Adams Co. in Lynn at the re-
quest of Minas II. and Hampartzoon
Minasian. The strike was called be-
cause Minas, a laster, was permitted
to employ his father, Hampartzoon, to
assist him in his work. The defendant
claimed that the system which Is
known to the craft as Contract" or

unequal distribution of the work in
slack time. and thus affected the wages
of the strikers.
In reversing the decree of Judge
Hitchcock and ordering the, bills or

Washington, Nov 29.-Elbert II.
Gary, executive head of the United
States Steel Corporation, made a plea
for big business" today, before the
Senate committee on interstate COM
merce, which is searching for a solu-
ton of the present trust problem in
the United States. Big corporations
are essential to the development of
the country and the maintenance OF
business prosperity, he said. TO pre-
vent their misusing the enormous
power which comes with wealth and
control of industrial agencies. he
thinks the government should take
control of them, through corpora
ton or trade commission, with abso-
lutte power to regulate their affairs.
Add to this a clear law as to what
can and what cannot be done; the
strong light of publicity on all the af-
fairs of corporations; and the elimi-
nation of Presidential and other politi-
cal issues from the business world,
and the unrest" which has spread
over the United States will largely dis
appear, said Mr.. Gary. The coming
election is already disturbing business,
he added. He said members of the
courts ought 10 be appointed for life;
that the President ought TO be elected
for eight years, without the privilege
of reelection. so that he would be in
a position and frame of mind where
he would not be tempted to look in
any direction or toward any interests
in seeking reelection.
Mr. Gary dwelt at length upon the
political situation. He said he had ne
particular President in mind: but that
he believed fewer elections and less
reason for seeking public or private
support for political purposes would
aid greatly in keeping business at q
level At the present time, he said
there was great curtailment of bust

son Patterson, accused of murder of
her husband. Charles A Patterson,
whom she shot to death while the
couple We're walking together in a
suburb, Sept. 25, today, was declared
not guilty by jury in the district
court
As the clerk finished reading the
verdict, Mrs. Patterson sprang to her
feet and caught the outstretched hand
of her attorney. From outside the court
room came roar of cheering. Inside
the room the crowd was quiet. but. as
court adjourned and Mrs. Patterson
stepped forward to thank the Jurors,
the crowd overwhelmed her with con
CALCULATIONS. Her efforts to reach the
jurors were vain. Later. four of the
jurors called on her as she was making
ready 70 leave the jail
The space between the courtroom and
the jail was packed with cheering

Patterson struggled through the throng
while men tried to shake her hand and
women strove to kiss her. Behind her.
waving both hands. went her father,
shouting his joy. Close behind him fol-
lowed the mother and sister, both in
tears. AS Mrs Patterson stepped from
the Jail, the $50 prisoners gave here a
round of cheers.
At no time in the deliberations of the
jury were there more than two votes fol-
conviction. -Four ballots We're taken. The
first was 10 for acquittal and two fol
conviction of murder in the first degree
This ballot was taken last night, aftel
the jury which retired at 9.45 p. M, hac
made it's preliminary survey of the evi
dence. After that ballot the jury wen
to bed.
The second ballot was taken as soon a

ing as the first An hours discussion
followed and the third ballot stood Ii t
/ for acquittal.
The fourth ballot was unanimous TO:
acquittal.
Because of the funeral of Judge Bliss
all courts had adjourned. Word was sent
to Judge Alton at the cemetery that the
jury had agreed. but 1T was two hours
before he reached the courtroom,
The verdict hung, it is declared, on
Mrs. Patterson's trip to Europe with an
terson. Whether this trip was taken
with her husbands knowledge and con-
sent, after he had received $500 from tn :
man with whom she went, as she con-
tended. or whether she had withheld
from Patterson the true nature of the
trip. as the state contended, was the
subject. it is said, with which most of
the jurors discussed in detail.
The Jurors accepted Mrs. Patterson's
story of the shooting that she had fired
after her husband had knocked her to
the ground.
Mrs. Patterson spent restless night
while the jurors voted.
Mrs. Patterson, tonight. said she had
no plans for the immediate future She
said she would not go into vaudeville,

grading" but she thought part in a
