friend. Il was at political meeting
in Marquette, Oct. 9.
Roosevelt, in sermon on the text
Thou shalt not bear false witness,
bawled out the congressman as an at
torney OF the steel trust. Thereupon
one John r. Van Evera rose up in
meeting and told Roosevelt he was
liar, who knew, or ought to know, that
Young had dropped his steel trust
work when he entered congress 10
years ago. And then Friend Newett
wrote the piece for his paper, which
appeared three days later, repeating
that the colonel was a liar, and add
ing, by way of good measure, that he
was a drunkard, 3. blasphemer and a
bad, loser.
Colonel Roosevelt, in his libel suit,
passes over the charges that he lies
and curses in a most disgusting way"
saying that such averments are in
some measure a matter of opinion"
But he insists that the drunkenness
charge is "a false, scandalous, malici-
Gus and defamatory libel" and asks
$4,000 damages.
CAMPAIGN MATERIAL.
The defendant replies that the ac-
cusation was true, and therefore was
legitimate campaign material, and he
expects to prove It
Newett, who started as printers
devil at 16, and at sc has a modest
! fortune made out of his printing shop,
his mining paper and general mining
! interests, has been accused of being a
tool in this matter for the steel trust
or for powerful, political enemies of
the colonel. He protests, however,
/ that he has spoken and acted only for
Z himself.
/ He adds that voluntary contribu-
tions amounting to several thousand
dollars have poured in upon him, in
sums of from 81 to $500, to help pay
the expense of the trial, and that he
has returned every dollar.
Newett disclaims any personal
grievance. He was postmaster of Ish-
peming for four years, and was ap-
pointed by Roosevelt. He has never
run for an elective Office.

2.1NCH FALL AT CHESTER, ILL.
u.norts From Indiana, Illinois, Arkan- .,s and Missouri Aglow With Opti-
 mistic Predictions Result
 ing From Downpour.

st Louis, June 24.-The drought which has threatened the crops of Mis-
 nuri. Arkansas, Illinois and Indiana has been broken. The downfall was uot an unusual one, according to the records, but the benefit done the farm ss and others who depend upon the weather conditions Is inestimable.
 The fall was general over Missouri, the lowest recorded being in the ex. treme western and northeastern DOT tions. At Chester, H., precipitation of two inches was registered. The states surrounding Missouri rain. In Belleville, H., the first rain for two months was reported. The iownpour in Illinois aided the farmers materially.
 In Carlyle, Macoupin, Montgomery, Sangamon and Morgan counties, Hi nois rain fell which, 1t is believed,
 ayed the corn crop from burning. Atelegram from the Springfield, H., weather bureau says the rain fell in Illinois as far south as Cairo. The re- | port comes from Section Director

Missouri Sections Benefited.

Montgomery Mo-, June 24.-Nearly an inch of rain has fallen in northeast Missouri since Saturday, greatly re- lieving the drought situation, which has been the most serious for several years. The corn and grass were bene- fited greatly. The farmers, many of them, now are regretting that they have shipped out their cattle by the trainload.
 Bismarck, Mo-, June 24.-A heavy downpour of rain visited this section, breaking a drought of seven weeks. The temperature fell 14 degrees. Mead ows, oats and early potatoes have sui fered, but corn has not been damaged

the banks The duties of this central board are so important that they could not, with justice to the public, be com mitted to men representing private in- terests
 "The regional reserve banks are to represent not only the national banks of the district, but such state banks as are willing to put themselves on a footing which will be equitable to the national banks. This is an important provision and gives to the state in- stitutions a protection which they de- al banks the responsibility of furnish ing banking facilities to the business of the country.
 Currency in Time of Need.
 'The great point of advantage to the banks-an advantage that ought to make them willing to accept the bill without question-is that 1t furnishes R currency which they can secure in time of need without having to put up bonds as security. The bond require ment largely neutralizes the advan- tage of the money issued on them as security, because the banks can not draw back more from the government than they have already invested in the bonds, but where bank can put up its good assets it is able at all times, without sacrifice, to secure any addi- tional cigculation that the community may need, and the governing board can be trusted to issue its treasury notes to the regional reserve banks on terms that will be fair and just.
 The business interests will, think, welcome this bill as an unalloyed blessing. It gives them, through their banks, promise of relief in any time of stringency and it gives this prom Ise without putting into the hands of the banks a power that might be used against the house, The bill is a faith tul fulfllment of the promise made in the Baltimore platform.
 II feel sure that the Democrats of the senate and house will rally to the support of the bill, and am sangGine enough to believe that 1t will receive a cordial support from Republicans as we'll"

 cans VIII Support Bill.

Washington, June 24-An unre served indorsement of the administra- tion currency bill was issued by Sec r.tary 'Nillia,n J Bryan on the eve of the b.l's submission to both houses Of congress
 Secretary Bryan explained that his reason for opposition until rec ontly to currency legislation at this session was his belief that 1t was impossible to prepare Such a good bill as the present one. ,-a-..s
 MT. Bryan does not reveal what part he played in the preparation of the bill, but brings out specifically that he believes 1t preserves the interests of the people by putting the government in absolute control of the banking sit the banks should prove a blessing to them.
 Secretary Bryans statement fol- lows:
 T am glad to indorse most earnest ly and unreservedly the currency bill which has been prepared by the chair man of the two congressional commit tees, in conjunction with the president and Secretary McAdoo. It is a much better bill than I supposed it possible to secure at this time. Conflicting opinions, honestly entertained and strongly adhered to, have been recon ciled with success hardly to be ex- pected. I have doubted until recently he wisdom of attempting currency legislation at this session, but my doubts were largely due to the fact that I feared the difficulties in the way would prevent an agreement upor a plan.

Advantages to Banks.

"The plan which the president now urges confers great advantages upon the banks, while it preserves to the people, acting through the govern ment, all that is essential for the pro- lection of the public. The notes are to be treasury notes, issued by the government and loaned to the regional reserve banks. This is in harmony with the Democratic contention. There Is no surrender of the governments right to issue money.
 "The board of control is appointed by the president Thus the people, acting through the government, are in entire control. This is necessary for the protection of the public interests snd ought not to be objectionable to

VESSEL IS CAUGHT IN SQUALL NEAR NEW MADRID, MO-,
 AND TURNS OVER.
WERE ON SURVEYING TRIP
Three Members of Party Swim Ashore and Rescue Two Others, While Balance of Crew of IA Perish
 Many Seek Bodies.

New Madrid, Mo, June 24-Nine of IA men comprising the crew of the United States survey boat Beaver were drowned in the Mississippi river five miles north of here when the boat was capsized in a sudden squall that raised waves five feet high. But one body, that of c. s. Williamson, chief engineer of the party, had been re- covered, although searching parties in two government boats worked many hours.
 The five survivors related that the boat had been Cl surveying trip above New Madrid and was returning to Bessie, Tenn, where the quarters boat of the surveying party is situated. At a point near Hodgkiss light, in Snakey bend, sudden gust of wind caused the boat to careen and at the sanN moment wave hit it and over turned it. It sank immediately, leav- ing the apssengers, with the excep- tion of Williamson, in the water.
 Three members of the party, Mich ael Morris and Curtis Bennett of Cot tonwood Point, Tenn, and a man known as Happy" were able to swim ashore through the heavy waves and later rescued J. H. Miller of Milers- burg, Ky. and Roy Thompson of Booths Point, Tenn, from wreckage to which they were clinging.

 They had hoped to find some of their companions clinging to it, but only the body of Williamson was found. His arm had caught in the top of the boat, and members of the party believed this caused his death, as he was considered an excellent swimmer and probably could have reached the shore had he been able to extricate himself.
 The body was taken to New Madrid dHu pldCeu Ill CHdTSe OI the MdSOnlC lodge there. It will be sent to Mason, Ohio, his home, later.
 The eight members of the party, for the bodies of whom search is being made, are: J. w. Mcconnell, 24 years old, of Memphis, Tenn, a recent grad. uate of the Cornell University Law college; Capt. Lamb, pilot; A. D. Cos ton, 2S. a civil engineer; Harry Sher- rell, mate, Cottonwood Point, Tenn. 1; Philip Wray, mate, Jackson, Tenn. i;
 Freeman, deckhand;. two rod men. not identified
 Immediately following the arrival of the survivors in New Madrid. they telephoned to Memphis and the gov ernment steamer Chiska was hurried to the scene. Accompanying it was a gasoline launch from Bessie, Tenn. The two boats, containing 30 men, pro ceeded to joint just below the acci, dent and took up the allnight search for bodies.

DEFECT IN LOCAL OPTION LAW
POINTED OUT.

UNFOLDING Law to Tax
Telephone Companies.
IBy Gurd NJ. Hayes.l

In an opinion rendered Attorney
General Fellows holds that it would
not be violation of the Warner-Cram-
ton liquor law for the city council of
Hancock to permit the location Of a
saloon within 500 feet OF the Finnish
College and Theological Seminary.
The question was .aised that the
Finnish college is a privately main
tanned institution and therefore could
not be classed as a public schooi.
In response to a query from Prose
cutting Attorney A. l.. Sayles, of New
berry, the states legal department has
rendered an opinion to the effect that
physicians conducting drug stores in
local option counties can sell liquor
only upon prescription.
Since the question has been refseS.
it has been pointed out that it would
be an easy proposition for an IN
scrupulous physician to establish
drug store in a local option territory,
do an enormous prescription business
and escape prosecution. He could
write a prescription for a pint of
whiskey, or quart bottle, whichever
the case might be, and then if he own
ed the drug store and was a registered
pharmacist could go behind the coun-
ter, fill the order and pocket the mon.
ey. Such a case, has yet 10 be re-
ported, however.
