Abrupt Ending Of His Libel
Suit When Editor Admits
That He Can Find no
One as a Witness.
INDICATION SECURED
Court Record Now That Roose
velt Never Was Drunk, is
Not Drunk Now and
Never Will be.
[By Eugene Mclean. United Press
Staff Correspondent.

STAFF Correspondent.
MARQUETTE, Mich, May 31-The-
odore Roosevelt has won his vindica-
tion. He has proved he is not a
drunkard, never has been drunkard,
and proved is SO conclusively as ever
case was proved In court a
More than that, he has proved as
nearly as man may do by his init.
mates of lifetime, that he never has
been even slightly under the influence
Of liquor, and that he Is as abstemious
az man may be and still drink alco-
holic liquors.
His libel suit against George A.
Newett, of Ishpeming. ended abruptly
this afternoon.
Newett surrendered and withdrew
the charge Of his paper that Roosevelt
gets drunk, and that not infrequent-
ly'
In long statement read In open
court, he admitted he had combed the
country, but had found not one single
witness who could testify he had seen
Colonel Roosevelt take liquor to ex-
cess To all intents and purposes. he
threw himself on Roosevelt's mercy.
And then Roosevelt, unwilling To as
sess upon Newett the heavy damages
he could have claimed. arose in court
and declared he had achieved his OBJ
iect, disproved the tale that did him
such injury in the last campaign, and
asked the court to direct verdict in
his favor for nominal damages only
which, in Michigan, means six cents.
The six cents were paid, and the col
onel will settle his own costs, of close
to $4,000.
Somebody asked the colonel later
what he would do with the six cents.
He threw back his head and laughed
a hearty guffaw, but refused to reveal
his intent with respect to the nickel
and the penny that he had accepted.
The termination of the case was not
unexpected. Since morning a rslmor
had been whispered through the court
that when Editor Newett had made
g statement, declaring his publication
had been made in good faith, the trial
would end.
II ended. as predicted, when Newett
finished reading his manuscript re
traction and stepped from the stand.
Colonel Roosevelt at once arose,
he statement he made was short,
terse. to the point and delivered with
his firm jaw thrust toward the judge
upon the bench.
In view of the statement of the
nefendent he said, Il ask the court
TO instruct the jury that ] desire only

this suit for money. did not come

MAYOR SHANK
TORE:S|GN

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2S.-Antici-
pating serious labor troubles, Acting
Mayor Wallace assumed personal
command of the police department
this afternoon. Wallace appointed
new board of safety before he was
actually sworn in as Mayor. TO pre-
vent technical tangles Wallace was
sworn in as both Mayor and Acting
Mayor. Labor leaders refused to
comment on Shank's resignation.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2S.-Mayor
Samuel L. Shank this afternoon
handed in his resignation, following
the absolute refusal of the CONNER
clal Vehicle Association to arbitrate
its controversy with the Transfers
Union. City Controller Harry Wal
lace automatically becomes Mayor
and a new board of safety will have
to be appointed.
The teamowners also refused to
appoint members of q committee OF
fifteen to settle the entire mayoralty
and strike trouble.
The Mayors action was taken after
he made a last desperate attempt in
person to induce the vehicle asSocia-
ton to arbitrate.
Mayor a TsamoWner
The Mayor himself IS a member of
the association which controls 80 per
cent of the city's teaming and deliv-
cry service.
The refusal of the vehicle associa-
ton also makes it practically certain
that a big teamsters and chauffeurs'
strike will take place.

it will give the new ministers a fly
ing start.
Il know the members of my church
will be enthusiastic over the plan,
and that they will turn out to assist
in making it the big success that it
is sure to be-
IF The Georgian can only arouse
the interest that has been stirred up
in other cities by movements Of this
sort, the 'Go-to- Church Day will be
a wonderful thing for Atlanta reli-
gious life" was the manner in which
the Rev. NJ. L. Underwood, of the
Nellie Dodd Memorial Church, eX-
pressed his appreciation OF the plan.
Il thoroughly approve Of it, and
am confident that the churches will
show their appreciation by getting out
the largest aggregate church attend
ance in the history of Atlanta"
The Rev. H. M. Quillian, who has
held pastorates in the Payne Memo
rial and Walker Street Churches and
is now in charge of the College Park
Methodist Church, said that the at
tendance at his own church was very
satisfactory, but that he believed that
the "Go-to- Church Day" would prove
further stimulus to his people and
would be of great benefit to the
churches throughout the city.
Our church is very good in that
respect" he remarked and I don't
know where we would put all of the
congregation If the entire membership
came, but the plan of The Georgian
has my hearty approval. If we regu-
larly can get out congregations that
tax the capacity of our churches. we
will know that it is time for us to
erect new buildings"
