Trenton, Jan. 3O.-That Colonel
The lore Roosevelt would no more de-
cline to take the nomination for the
presidency than he would decline to
enlist if needed in time of war is the
opinion of Lawrence F. Abbott, one of
the editors of the Outlook, contained
in a letter received here today by Ed
ward c. Stokes. former governor of
New Jersey.
Il am convinced he does not desire
the nomination and will enter no con-
test for it," writes Mr.. Abbott. How
ever Mr.. Stokes visited the Outlook Of
fee last week, had an interview with
Colonel Roosevelt and suggested that
he write a letter or have one written
defining his position relative to the
presidency.
The letter from Mr.. Abbott given
out by Mr.. Stokes today is prefaced
with a statement that Mr. Abbott has
no authority to speak for Colonel
Roosevelt but that during the past two
years he has had exceptional oppor-
tunities to learn Colonel Roosevelt's
views and the workings of his mind.

A continuation of the Stotts-B Bone
tilt at the city hall was exhibited at
the board of commissioners meeting
this morning when Stotts advised Bone
to ''selI his life insurance and real es-

Commissioner Bone had introduced

Now the city crematory is under Com

wrath of the commissioner IN charge

Bone sneaked this ordinance up
here before the commissioners when

out laying out work for the tree trim

The ordinance came up for second
reading and discussion this morning
When it was read by the city clerk,
Stotts jumped to his feet and foared:

KANSAS LAW IS HIT.
Z. S. Supreme Court Holds Corpora
ton Restriction Invalid.

The United States supreme court
took whack at the Kansas corpora
ton law this week and put one of it's
provisions clear out of business, even
if it had to reverse the Kansas supreme
court to do SO. The Kansas law re-
quires all foreign corporations to pay
fees and make reports to Kansas Off
Gals before they can have rights in
court. In the case of the Moline Bug
gy Co., against c. B. Hawkins of EN-
poria the Kansas supreme court up
held the constitutionality of the law
by refusing to recognize the foreign
corporations right in court.
The Moline corporation carried the
case to the United States supreme
court and today word was received
here that the Kansas court had been
reversed.
Hawkins bought a buggy from the
Moline people and gave a note for pay
ment. He refused to pay the note,
When sued in the courts it was held
that the Moline corporation had no
right in court because it had failed to
observe the provisions of the Kansas
charter laws.

BINDING TWINE SAVED
1t Is Exempted From the Proposed
Raise in Freight Rates.

Chicago, Jan. 30.-RaiIroad commits
sioners of nine western states and
shippers fighting the proposed schedule
of increased freight rates, due to take
effect February Is, succeeded today in
getting binder Irvine removed from the
new list. The rats win remain UNI
changed.
The partial victory came during a
hearing before Chief Examiner George
N. Brown of the suspension committee
of the interstate commerce commission
Seven of the commissioners withdrew
yesterday and declared Brown had
prejudiced the case by refusing 10
grant an extension of 120 days for in
vestigation of the new schedule. Later
they returned and said they would take
their case direct to the commission
Robert Fife, chairman of the western
classification committee made the an
nouncement regarding binder Irvine to-
day. Chief Examiner Brown had recon-
mended the withdrawal Of the proposed
new rate. Binder Irvine has been a
subject of much agitation.
The effect of the concession will be a
saving of 100 per cent in the rates.
Shippers also will be allowed to ship
/ binder Irvine in cars with agricultural
implements.
A ruling in the new classification
was that binder Irvine could not be
shipped in less than carload lots.
The railroads submission to the pro-
shippers in regard to this particular
item of the tariff will not keep the
state commissioners from fling their
protest with the commission in Wash
ington. A statement will be sent to the
members of the commission by the
state commissioners asking that they
be permitted to argue the ACCESSIBILITY
of the suspension of the entire sched-
ule. Chief Examiner Brown will make
his recommendations to the commission
not later than FebrrSry 10, when that
body will sit in the case. The state
commissioners declare they should
have the right to present their case in

PALMYRA IS OURS.
England viii Not Be Allowed to APP
proprate the Island.

Washington. Jan. 9O--There is
every indication to believe that the
American state department will resist
any attempt of any British syndicate
or of British government to assert
sovereignty over Palmyra island in the
Pacific ocean. The United States ana
Great Britain may have to submit to
international arbitration the question
of sovereignty. Governor Frear or
Hawaii today notified the state de-
partment that the island long had been
in the possession of Judge Henry r.
Cooper of the Hawaiian supreme court,
who was much disturbed over the re-
port that Great Britain was about to
claim title.
The department has undertaken an
investigation which thus far has dis
closed that while existing charts show
the island to be British by virtue of it's
annexation in 1889 by Captain Nichols
of the British gun boat Cormorant. the
island has previously been annexed TO
the Hawaiian kingdom in 1882 and the
commission appointed by President Me-
Kinley in 1898 to take over the Hawaii
an islands In that year annexed to the
United States specifically included Pal
myra island as part of Hawaii.

BOY IS NOT OF AGE.
Claimed That George Reser Can Not
Be Sued.

Motion to set aside the service as
affecting George Reser in the Stewart
Reser alienation suit, was filed today
by attorneys for the defense on the
grounds that Reser has not yet at
tanned his majority and that service
was not properly secured. It is also
asked to have the plaintiff deposit
bond for costs.
When the case was filed, George
Reser was made defendant with his
sister, Edith Reser. The young man
is but 10 years old and it is claimed
that the service secured is not legal
and that he should be released as a.
party defendant.
Mrs. Stewart. wife of the former
Rossville postmaster editor, also fail
ed to deposit a cash bond for costs in
the case. 1t is charged by the defense
that she lived in Missouri for a time
before the suit was filed and cannot
now bring an action in the Kansas
courts on a poverty affidavit. With
the two motions was filed an affidavit
from Alice z Reser, mother of the de-
PENDANTS, in which she recites that
George Reser is but 10 years old.

MERELY BOOKKEEPING
By-Product Entries Have Nothing to
Do With Selling Price of Beef.

Chicago. Jan. 3O.-Steiner G. Lang
her, margin clerk for the G. H Ham
mond company plant of the National
Packing company at Chicago, began
his sixth day on the witness stand to-
day when the trial of the ten Chicago
packers was resumed this morning
In an effort to refute the govern
ment's charge that the margin was q
material factor in fixing the selling
price of dressed beef, Attorney John
Barton Payne, representing Edward
Ti1den, president of the National Pack
ing company, had Witness Steiner G.
Langher read into the record of the
packers trial today entries from the
sales books of the corporation.
These tended to show that dressed
beef, on which the test cost was iden-
teal. was sold in New York and Bos-
ton by defendant consignees at differ
ent prices on the same day. In some
instances the selling price varied from
5 to "a cents a hundred pounds, ac-
cording to the entries read.
The defense contends that the by
product allowances used in figuring the
test cost and adjusting the margins is
simply a matter of bookkeeping and
is not a factor in determining the sell
ing rrice of beef.
