WHEN ROOSEVELT RAN FROM
THE TARIFF sARoNs.

By c. H. Tavenner Special Washing
ton Correspondent.
{. The Taft press bureau, which is
being operated in Washington to fur
Their the candidacy OF Mr.. Taft for
denomination, has sent out the fol
lowing letter, which speaks for itself:
"Mr. Roosevelt has severely criti'
cised the President for having signed
the Payne-Aldrich bill, and Mr.
Roosevelt's deluded followers have
been made to- believe that Mr.. Roose'
welt is a real tariff reformer who
never would have permitted the
Payne-Aldrich! bill to become law.
mt. Roosevelt was in the White
House nearly eight years, during
which time he had abundant oppor
tunities to revise the tariff. He made
no effort to do 50. During those
years he never opened his mouth on
the tariff. 4
There is hitherto unknown chap.
ter in Mr.. Roosewelt's tariff record.
It exhibits him in light that is
characteristic Of him. 1t shows him
lodging and running, rather than face
q fight.
In one OF Mr.. Roosevelt's annual
messages he said that later he
would communicate with congress by
special message on the subject OF
the tariff. The annual message was
printed at the government printing
office and given to the press associa-
tons for distribution to the newspa-
pers they serve. The reader UNI
familiar with newspaper making may
be interested to know that the an
nual messages OF the president : are
printed several days in advance OF
their presentation to congress and
the press associations, as matter OF
convenience, send them to the news
papers, who hold them in confidence
until they are laid before congress.
"This particular message containing
the paragraph stating that the presi-
dent woulf later write special mes
sage on the tariff, was duly sent to
the press associations, which in turn
sent it to the newspapers, with in
structions that it be held tor release.
A few days before the message was
to be read In congress, the press as
sociations sent hurried instructions to
the newspapers they serve, telling
them to cut out the paragraph con-
Gaining the reference to later tariff
message.
Having killed the Objectionable
paragraph, Mr.. Roosevelt was afraid
that it would get out that he had
asked the press associations to thus
revise his message which would
plainly have shown that he was
knowingly and deliberately lodging
the tariff issue, so that he exacted a
promise from the managers Of the
press associations that nothing
would be said about his request to
have the paragraph cut out. This
promise was faithfully kept.
This Is Mr.. Roosevelt's tariff rec
ord-a promise to communicate with
congress on the subject OF the tariff,
then a reputation Of that promise,
then an. appeal to the press Of the
country to shield him. In nearly
eight years he summoned up enough

mous-HistorY of the Case
The New Castle County Superior
Court in Wilmington Thursday
afternoon granted a divorce to John
Bancroft, Jr., from his wife Mad
eleine dupont Bancroft. The fam
lilies of the couple are among the
most prominent in the State and the
charges made in connection with the
case were of a sensational nature.
In addition to granting the divorce,
the husband is allowed the custody
of the couples 4-year-old son. The
court also ordered that a decree
should be entered declaring that
Max Heibler, Jr., an infant, made
a co-defendant with Mr.. Bancroft,
by her husband is not the child of
Bancroft. The infant was given
the name of Max Heibler, Jr., by
Bancroft in his application for di-
vorce. The decision of the court
was unanimous. No mention was
made bv the court of the ross suit
for divorce filed by Mrs. Bancroft.
In concluding its decision the court
says: "In reaching this conclusion
we have not regarded the letters or
other admissions of the defendant
wife or Max Heibler. which were
received in evidence, to be there
after considered or disregarded by
the court in arriving at their judg-
ment.
Mrs. Bancroft May Take an Appeal
When the decision had been read,
7. Rayard Heisel, of Wilmington,
attorney for the young wife, asked
for and obtained an exception by
the court. His purpose was to pave
the way for an appeal to the Della.
ware Supreme Court. The proposed
appeal constitutes a legal point
that the Supreme Court will doubt
less be called upon to decide. The
matter will come up in a few days.
1t was anticipated that the court
would dwell at length in its finding
on the sensational testimony given
at the hearing. This was not done,
however. Neither the plaintiff or
the defendant was in court when the
finding was read. The members of
the Bancroft and dupont families
were also conspicuous by their alb
sence. The husband named Max
Heibler, of Munich, Germany, a
friend of his wife and himself. as
correspondent. The wife, in her
counter suit, named four women of
Munich. 1t is stated that Mrs.
Bancroft will live abroad. On June
15, 1911. it became known that the
action decided today had been in
stituted. Access to the papers was
refused and both the principals in
the case were absent from the city,
but the nature of the charges
leaked out. The infant. the pattern.
ity of which Bancroft denied, was
at the time only a few weeks old,
but the law made it necessary thai
the papers in the case be read tt
the child.

George L. Townsend. a retired
farmer of Odessa, New Castle
County, who has been more or less
active politically, was appointed
United States Marshal for Delaware
last Tuesday by President Taft.
His nomination went to the Senate
with the announcement from Sena-
tor Richardson that there could be
no objection to his appointment.
Delaware has had q hard time to fill
this place, which has been vacant
for six months. Senator dupont
had Cornelius P. Swain, of Bridge
Vile, appointed. and before the
Senate could inquire into his career
he was confirmed. This confirmation
was recalled upon charges that
Swain had carried bribe money from
the Wilmington office of one of the
duPonts. A senatorial investigation
disclosed that the Republicans had
paid from $40 to $40 for votes, and
that 200 votes had been purchased.
Swain's name was withdrawn. Fol-
lowing this exposure Senator Reed
offered a resolution to unseat Sena-
tor DUPONT, charging that his cleo
tion had been obtained by bribery.
This resolution was referred to the
Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions and the ''stand pat" Senators
are doing their utmost to bury it
there. George L. Townsend is re-
