Col. Roosevelt's confession of faith, -
to be made in Chicago next week, is a
speech in which he says he takes more
interest than any other he has ever de-
nvered. He was told that Senator Dixon

Wife Tells Her Story,

With her husbands leering at her from

yesterday afternoon related to the jury
her story of the shooting
Il did not shoot Mr.. Grace, and he
knows it; as God is my judge, that is the
solemn TRUTH" she exclaimed dramatical-
ly, and Gracc's lips parted in cynical
smile 1t was II remarkable story told in
clm even voice without pause AS
though it had been we'll rehearsed. Grace
was revealed in black colors as a crea-
ture VINO had rewarded wifely love and
generosity with the grossest cruelty and
infidelity.
Mrs. Grace occupied the better part of
an hour III its telling At It's conclusion
she left the stand and the defense rest
ed its ease. As she did not make the
statement under oath, the prosecution
was denied the privilege of cross-exam-
ina.tion. The state then put on one or

trying to have Grace sworn to rebut the
statement of the accused woman did not
succeed. Judge Roam ruled that under
the Georgia law a husband WAS not COM
petent TO testify against his wife.
Mrs Grace declared in her statement
that Grace shot himself during scuffie
with her for possession OF a pistol with
which he was trying to shoot her. Ii was
not the first time he had attempted to
kill her. she said Last summer, after
she had made her will in his favor at his
insiStence, she testified that he tried to
throw her overheard from a steamer on
which they were making a trip from New

Rests on Broad Ground.

The declaration Of the resolution "
replied Senator Lodge. its author
rests on a much broader and older
ground than the Monroe doctrine. 1t
rests on the generally accepted prin-
ciple that every nation has right to
protect it's own safety. and if it feels tina t
the possession by A foreign power of any
given harbOr or place is prejudicial to its
own safety it is its duty and right to in
tervene."
The principle has been laid down, SO
far as this nation is concerned for fore ign
powers operating directly, Senator Lodge
explained But recent developments have
shown the need to extend the principle so
as to include corporations associations
under the control OF a foreign govern
ment
The Monroe Doctrine was an extension
of this underlying principle of every ma
ton to provide for its own safety re-
marked Senator Lodge. THE Monroe
doctrine related to colonization. 1t did
not touch on the precise point Involved
here.
In this case no government is con-
cerned in the possession of Magdalena
bay. But ii has been made clear. from
information gathered by the State Depart
along the bay We're engaged in ncgotia-

government or the stock of which was
held largely by foreigners.

In Interests of Peace.

, This resolution, l believe. is in the in
terests of peace. 1t is always desirable
to make a country's position known be-
forehand and not let n situation arise
when it becomes necessary to urge IA for
eign power to withdraw when that with
drawal would involve some humiliation
to it.
Senator Lodge suggested the opening of
the Panama canal increased the i'm
portan of protection of Magda,ena bay
Senator Cummins admitted that all ma
tions recognize the underlying principle
of the resolution. but he thought its terms
were rather vague and uncertain.
Il do not understand what the relation
of a corporation association must be
to foreign government to fall in the
scope of the resolution" Senator Cum
minis remarked. Suppose, for instance,
all the stock of corporation is owne
by foreigners Is that fact alone to
bring the corporation within the scope Of
the resolution? | think there should he
