Col. Roosevelt is Excused by the
Court From Further Service.

Mineola, L. l., March 14.-Theodore
Roosevelts jury duty is over. Su-
preme Court Justice Putnam told him
today he could be excused. Counsel

might distract his fellow jurors mind
from any case and for that reason
they would challenge him.
The colonel appeared at court as
usual this morning and when a court
officer touched him on the shoulder,
he stepped to the bar.
II understand" said the court,
that there is little likelihood of your
services being required, Col Roose-
welt, and on account of your other en-
gagements l will gladly consider any
request you wish to make"
Your honor" said the colonel, "as
/ have been here- two weeks, shall
make request to be excused If that
is a proper request"

DENY LAFoLLETTE'S CHARGE.
Roosevelt Gives Out Letter Saying He
Did Not Promise to Stay Out.

Washington, March 16.-Roosevelt
headquarters gave out an open letter
by Clifford Pinchot which quotes a
letter written by ellison Gardner, a
newspaper man, to Walter l.. Houser,
Senator LaFollette's campaign man
ager, denying that Col. Roosevelt
promised his support to the senator's
candidacy with the assurances that
he, himself, would not become can
didate.
The letter was given out as an an
swer to Mr.. Houser's statement at
jamestown, n. D., yesterday that
Pinchot knew Roosevelt not only en-
Couraged but was favorable to La
Follette's candidacy, until it came to
appear that it might succeed.
Gardeners letter to Houser declares
untrue any statement that Col. Roose-
welt urged Senator LaFollette to be-
come a candidate. 1t then goes on
to say that Col. Roosevelt sent word
by Gardner that he did not believe
Senator LaFollette could win and
that he believed Taft's denomination
would be forced by money and pat
ronage and therefore, Col. Roosevelt
said, he did not feel like urging La
Toilette to go into losing fight.

Eiremen Want Public Park,

Norfolk firemen at their regular
meeting last night took possession of
petition with twenty-five names al
ready attached to it asking the city
council to call a special election to
vote $4,000 for the purpose of pur-
chasing ground for public park.
The firemen are now behind the
movement and after they have the
required fifty names signed to the
petition they will present 1t to the
city council for action. The firemen
declare that they can get 500 names
signed to such movement.
Much enthusiasm was manifested
by the firemen when Burt Mapes,
who has had the petition in his pos
session since 1907, offered to turn
the document over to the firemen
who he believed were entitled to cir.
culate such a petition.
v. A. Nenow, A. w. Finkhouse and
M. r. Green were appointed a com.
mittee to circulate the petition. I'm.
mediately after the firemen came
into possession of the public park
petition, at least ten firen!en attach.

The petition asks the city council

Of purchasing twenty-six acres of
ground north of the city, including
, the race track and ball park. This
| ground is to be- converted into
public park, owned and supported by
| the city. The firemen believe that
| the time is opportune for immediate
action on the park proposition and
they expect to put energy into the
proposition. Accompanying the petit
ton now being circulated by the fire
men is a plat showing the ground
proposed to be taken into the park
proposition. 1t is not necessary to
secure options for this land, as the
present statute makes provisions for
the city to use what ground it deems
fit for park purposes.
