CLARA BARToN'S HEART BROKEN
 BY ROOSEVELT
Eight Years Ago to Please Society Woman He Took
 Red Cross From Her

Meriden, May 27.-That Clara Bar ton died of a broken heart and that Roosevelt was the cause was the sem timent expressed by Former State Senator Francis Atwater at Memorial services held in St. PauPs Church, last night, in honor of the former head of the Red Cross of the United States. Among other things he said:
 Flight years ago she left the Red Cross heartbroken, sacrificed because of designing society women of Wash ington who abetted by the Imperial One who claims the square deal for himself but denies it to others. The Red Cross was wrenched from her and since then has been the play thing and football of the smart set of Washington. l.,
 ''This same Roosevelt who lent his aid to crush Miss Barton was the one who went to her camp near San Juan Hill and begged succor for his wound ed. Although the Red Cross supplies were there for the purpose of feeding the poor Cubans she did not hesitate but gave him such supplies as were needed and Roosevelt himself packed them across the hills. This counted for nothing when the fobs and snobs of Washington society asked him to be their, highwayman. The Red Cross since then has changed from the sub- lime to the ridiculous"

ROCKEFELLER ! TO APPEAR IN
 TRUST SUIT

New York. May 27-Anticipating the -grilling of John D. Rockefeller by At torney Samuel Untermyer, big crowd flocked to the platter's office, today, when the hearing was begun of the suit brought in Missouri by the Waters-Pierce interests against the Standard in which the good faith of the dissolution of the Standard Oil Company is questioned.
 Rockefeller and John D. Archbold, another star witness, were not on hand, although 1t was announced they would come when wanted. Unter- myer told A. l.. Jacobs of St. Louis, commissioner in charge of the pro- tomorrow. and they were notified to be on hand then, when their testf- mony would be taken.
 The chief witness of the morning was Charles White, connected with the Standard of New Jersey, and his testimony was of a technical charac- ter.
 The real contest is for the control of the Waters-Pierce Co. Suits to keep the Standard out of the Waters Pierce were instituted in Missouri and cross suits to oust Pierce and his friends followed It was believed, to- day, that during the hearings here the
 
 Standard dissolution order will be threshed out
 That the directors of the Standard Oil met daily from 1888 in secret at their offices in this city was the dec- laration fo Secretary White. No min- utes of these meetings were kept, he said. The meetings were held in the directors offices on the 14th floor un- til after dissolution when they got together in an office in the rear of the Standard Oil Building on the 18th floor.
 White had been subpoenaed to bring with him the minutes of direc- tors meeting and did so. They were found to contain no record of busi- ness transactions so White was asked to explain. He did so by telling Of the daily meetings at which he said Archbold was always present.
 Untermyer laid the foundation, through his questioning of White, for the interrogation, tomorrow, of Rocke" feller and Archbold.

RIGHT OF INTERVENTION
 DISCUSSED BY COMMITTEE.

Washington, May H-Wide di erg- ence of opinion as to the right to in- tervene in Cuba was developed at a meeting of the Senate Cuban Relations committee today, in discussing a res olution requesting a definition of the Platt amendment authorizing the Uni ted States to protect Cuba.
 Chairman Page was directed to con- fer with President Taft, Secretary Knox and the judge advocate general of the army and report to the com mittee.
 Any action toward recommending legislation to define the right of the United States will be conservative, Page said The committee, he assert ed. desired it to be understood that there was mo connection between the present condition of affairs in Cuba and present consideration of, tl,e sub ject.'

Marines Go to Cuba Merely For Protection of Americans if
 Need Should Arise
The Cruiser Prairie With 700 Marines on Board Reaches Guantanamo Naval Station Revolution Said to be Almost Stamped Out-Negro Leaders of Santa Clara Province Sur render

Washington, May 27-Asserting that the concentration of both naval and military fighting forces near Cuba must. not be construed as a forerun- her of intervention, President Taft to- day replied to President Gomez plea that he was able to suppress the ne- gro revolution. The note dictated on the Presidents special campaign train was made public here today and read as follows:
 am sincerely gratified to 1earm of your. governments energetic meas ures to put down the disturbance and to know that you are confident of be- ing successful. As was fully ex- plained to the Cuban Charge d'Af- faires here, this governments motive in sending ships to Key West. just Guantanamo naval station. was merely to be able to act promptly in case it should unfortunately become necessary to protect American life and property by rendering moral support or assistance to the Cuban govern meEt. AS was made quite clear at the time, thes eordnary measures of ed from any intention Of interven- tion."
 At the same time that the text of this message was given out at the State department 1t was intimated that the course of the government In the pres ent situation would not be guided by advices from the Cuban government. The State department policy will be determined by advices from its con- sular agents. Especially important will be a report from the commander of the Paducah who is making a per- sonal investigation at Nipe Bay. He is expected to inform the department of conditions at the center of the trou- ble within the next few hours.
 It is rumored at the Navy depart ment that the reserve fleet now at Philadelphia is to be held in readiness in case a further display of force in Cuban waters becomes necessary.
 That Gomez is doing his best to head off the rebellion Is not doubted here. This government has never shown any tendency to doubt the sin toned whether, with his forces badly scattered and unable to conduct a strong concentrated movement against the rebels, he will be able to restore peace in the island before a large amount of damage is done to Ameri- can property.
 The most serious conditions are be- lieved to prevail in the province Of Oriente, at the eastern end of Cuba. There at least is $30,O00,O 900 worth of American property in the vicinity of Nipe Bay now at the mercy of ne gro rebel bands. The only protec- ton in sight is the gunboat Paducah, which was ordered to that point on Saturday.
 With national bankruptcy staring him in the, face if the revolt is not put down within two weeks, the Cu- ban presidents situation is thought to be most alarming.

MANY CHRISTMAS TREES.
Fifty Carloads VIII lie Sent from, the
AdirOndncks.

WATERFOWL, y. Y, Nov. 26.--Fifty car
loads of Christmas trees for the markets
Of New York will leave this section of the
Adirondacks during the present week
Each car will carry approx imatcly seven
hundred Of the evergreens for Christmas
decorations. An embargo recently laid on
riniferOus trees shipped into New York
from other States means that Ia rye
share OF the evcrgrecns will come from
northern New York.
Farmers IN this section are worried
over the outlook. As early as this they
rave been ON the watch for nlraudcrs
who rob every year the swamp lands of
their finest evergreen trees. and ship
them to market before being detected.
The sections which furnish the greater
part OF the tree. shipped out of this coun-
try are on the slopes of the hills to the
north. A little branch road running to
Copenhagen will furnish nearly half the
trees. Points toward Wanakcna and
along the road TO Utica Will furnish the
rest.
