dent, today testified in the libel suit
that his former chief was as temperate
man as he knows.
Loeb said he had seen the Colonel
after an exhausting day drink milk
punch He said the punch was about
as intoxicating as grape juice, and this
comment highly tickled the Colonel.
His former secretary testified that
it was the Coloners custom to take a
little champagne at state dinners.
Loeb swore that the Colonel was alb.
solutely not under the influence Of
liauor when he returned to the White
House from the famous Cannon din.
ner He saw Roosevelt take only one
glass Of champagne and that with
Cannon.

service operative, who guarded Roose-H
velt when he was president. explained
that It was his duty to be elbow to ell
bow with the president everywhere

with Roosevelt during his service.
The Colonel was perfectly sober al
days, said the witness. Tyree was
with Roosevelt turing the Chicago ma
tional convention and he swore he saw
no drink but milk go into his room

M|L|TANTS BOMB
AT ART GALLERY
Machine Found to Be Harmless.
Arson Squad Fires PENIS
Old Church.

LONDON. May ia so-called
militant suffragette "bomb" was
found during the night outside the
national gallery which contains in
valuable art treasures, and is in the
very centre of London on Trafalgar
square.
The machine consisted of a tin can
filled with live cartridges wrapped in
a copy of the Suffragette. 1t was
labeled pills to break the windows
of the national gallery" There was
no mechanism or detonator connect
"bomb'' was therefore like many
previous ones, quite harmless.
Suffragettes apparently threw it
over the high ratings, as it was found
lying against the walls of the west
wing of the building.
Militants last night set fire to the
organ of the old parish church of
Penn, Buckinghamshire. which, be-
cause of it's association with the
founder of Pennsylvania. was of
great interest to Americans.
The flames were discovered in time
to prevent their spread to the church,
but the organ was ruined. A paper
was found inscribed "Suffragists
cause incendiarism for votes'
Henry Curtis Bennett, the Bow
Street Police Court magistrate, who
is conducting the conspiracy case
against militant suffragette leaders,
is guarded by Scotland Yard detec-
tives.
He is accompanied daily to and
from court by two officers in plain
clothes, as threats have been made
against him.

strikers were awaiting the result of
the trial. Quinlan was betting he
would be acquitted or the jury would
disagree when a little girl ran in and
announced the verdict
They ought to dynamite the court
house for this!" shouted one of the
strikers.
LET the people look out; this will
be the end of Paterson" cried an
other man standing near the table
at which Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and
Carlos Tresca, whose trials on similar
charges are yet to come. sat. silent
and detected.
Tresca, deeply moved waved his
hand and tried to cali for order.
'If peaceful methods are criminal"
said Miss Flynn. then violence"
She did not finish the sentence.
From all parts of the room came
heated ordinations. threats of VEN
geance and curses for the authorities.
That Paterson would have cause to
regret the verdict seemed the gen
eral opinion and desire.
"Finishes Paterson
"This finishes Paterson" shouted
Wilson B. Killingbeck, State secre-
tary of the Socialist party. from the
midst of the crowd that thronged
around Quinlan. I'VE have all tried
to keep the strikers quiet, but If they
go out now and raise hell don't blame
u.s."
Unlike the first. which was out all
night, the second jury quickly came
to its conclusion.
Soon after the members entered the
jury room a ballot was taken. 1t
showed nine for conviction and three
for aequittal. Two succeeding ballots
brought the same result. The next
ballot two men swung toward con-
viction. The fifth poll had the same
figures. Then for a half hour the
twelfth juror was the subject of
oratory so convincing that he gave
in.

guire" by Prosecutor Dunn

strike is second only to that in Law

CAS- far as the verdict is concerned.
Quinlan could not in the light of
truth be convicted. He was not even

making that speech. Witness after
