COURT DEALS BLOW TO THE DE.
TENSE IN ROOSEVELT
LIBEL TRIAL.
DISPOSITIONS ARE SHUT OUT
Mere Rumors or Reports About His
Reputation to Be ExcIuded--Ba-
con and Others Say Colonel
Is Abstemous.

Marquette, Mich.-Men who have
been associated with Col. Theodore
Roosevelt in public and private
life, who met him on the Nile
when he returned from his African
hunting trip, and newspaper men who
accompanied him on his various po-
litical campaigns, testified in the colo
nel's libel suit against George A.
Newett, newspaper owner of Ish-
peming, Mich, that the former presi-
dent not only was not drunkard, but
that he was notably and extremely
temperate in the use Of intoxicants.
1t would have been impossible, the
witnesses said, for Col. Roosevelt ever
to have been under the influence Of
liquor without the fact becoming
known to his associates. 1t would
have been equally impossible, they
testified, for him to have drunk liquor
with any regularity without the smell
of It on his breath being apparent to
the friends who testified.
r. r. Smiles as Friends Testify.
Throughout the hearing of the case
IN which the former president is SUI
ing for $4,000 damages because the
publication last October of an edi-
torial charging him with getting
drunk, Col. Roosevelt listened with
evident satisfaction to the testimony
Of former members Of his cabinet and
of newspaper men. Frequently his
face lit up with a smile as some Incl.
dent of his campaigns or hunting trips
was related from the witness stand
Once Col. Roosevelt gave vent of an
audible chuckle That was when Rob
ert Bacon, former secretary of state,
in telling Of his acquaintance with
members Of the Roosevelt family, said
the colonel was the father of five
children, although he has six. Col
Rooseqelt's sense Of humor was awak-
ered at once by this lapse of Mr.. Ba-
cons memory and the hearty chuckle,
which he vainly tried to smother in
his hand, caused ripple of laughter
about Ehe court room.
Heresay Evidence Barred.
The days proceedings were marked
by an important ruling by Judge Rich
ard c. Flanagan, which in the intro
duction of evidence by the defense
will have the effect of excluding GER
tain kinds of hearsay testimony. This
ruling came after a prolonged argp-
ment, during which the jurors were
excluded from the room and after at
torneys for Col. Roosevelt had urged
the exclusion of certain kind of tes-
timony, which they said might be in
troduced by the defense through depo-
sitions taken from persons in differ
ent parts of the country.
The effect of the ruling was that
Col. Roosevelt's general reputation is
an issue in the case and testimony
bearing upon his reputation may be
introduced, but that rumors or reports
about his reputation Coming from per
sons not qualified by experience to
Judge, shall not be admitted.

BRYAN ASKS SENATE BODY TO
RATlFY PENDING TREATY
WITH NICARAGUA.
70 ADVANCE THREE MILLION
Rest of World WIN be Barred From
6uildlng-carries Rights for
Naval Station and Several
Small Islands.

Washington.-The United States
viii secure perpetual and exclusive
franchise for the building of an in
teroceanic canal through Nicaragua
and also naval station, together with
several small islands, on the Pacific
coast of that country. This is in
sured through the decision just
reached by the Wilson administration
to support the treaty negotiated in
the closing days of the Taft admins
tration between the United States
and Nicaragua.
It was learned that Secretary Bryan
has asked the finance committee on
foreign relations to ratify the treaty
now pending before it with only one
or two minor changes. Through the
ratification Of this treaty the Mica
raguan route will be forever closed to
every nation except the United
States.
Adopts Taft's Views.
The Taft administration decided
that both as a means of removing an
irritant in Central America and Sc
cruing a guarantee against any COM
petition to the Panama canal 1t was
advisable for the United States to OBJ.
tain this exclusive privilege and the
Wilson administration has now adopt
ed that view. The belief is held by
many that at some future time it may
be found practicable and profitable to
construct across Nicaragua a canal
for light-draft vessels only.
The concession for naval base in
the Gulf of Fonseca, on the west coast
Is Of more immediate Importance even
than the exclusive grant for the canal
right-of-way.
The Gulf of Fonseca is one of the
few bodies of water on the west coast
Of the North American continent
which afford ample and deep harbor
facilities. 1t often has been called
the finest harbor or constellation of
haA UOlo Oh CuC WeSt Quasi VI the WEST
ern hemisphere"
Possession of a naval base site on
the Gulf of Fonseca is regarded as Of
vital Importance to the naval inter-
ests of the United States in view of
the approaching opening of the Pan
turing guarantee against any com
the canal the United States battle
ship feet will spend about half of
each year on the Pacific coast.
This naval base on the west coast
will be the complement of the big
naval station which the United States
has in recent years been establish
ing on the Island of Guantanamo, on
the eastern coast.
In return for these concessions the
government of Nicaragua is to receive
100000 in money, to be supplied for
public work or public education in
that country.
