resentative Gardner had been unneces-
sarily severe in the terms In which he
demanded Of Col. Roosevelt the production
Of certain suppressed papers. Mr.. Gardner
last night gave out the following state
ment:
II realize that my attack on Col. Roose-
welt may be considered vicious. Prob
ably should not have made 1t SO strong
had he been less scathing In his remarks
about me.
As . matter Of fact. absolutely re-
fused to attack Col. Roosevelt until after
I was shown certain correspondence
which startled me like bolt out of a
clear sky. A short time ago 1t was
proved to me beyond peradventure of
doubt that President Roosevelt was en-
gagged In advising President-elect Taft to
ret together with Uncle Joe Cannon at
the very time when those Of US WHO were
fighting the old guard in Congress felt
that we surely had President ROOSEVELT
sympathy, II not his active support.

that President Roosevelt considered that

No Ground for Interference,

1T Is true that American property has
been rendered less profitable because OF
the present disorders in Mexico, but this
affords no ground for international re-
lief Of any character. British and French
subjects similarly lost heavily during the
rebellion In this country, and. although
their claims were referred to arbitration
the United States was never held re-
sponsfble for a single act necessarily in
cident to state of war, even though
property was destroyed In the course OF
campaigns, and the growing OF crops
prevented, the carrying on Of business
Quent. Practically the only responsibility
for property taken by its own troops
under the command OF officers, and for its
benefit or for wrongful imprisonments or
like outraGes committed by the Federal
troops. The United States was never
held responsible for q sisgie act of the
Confederates.
Notwithstanding the presidents just
referred to. It IL urged. in defiance OF all
principles Of international laws fixing
the liability Of nations, that the United
States should enter Mexico for the pur-
pose OF protecting, as II IL said. our citi-
zens and permitting their property tc
