C. Eugene Campbell, the Don Juan of

Little Political Spy" of Gigan-

Acted Properly.

FRANKLIN, PA, Feb. 20.-Denying
with vigor that he ever gave a dollar
to Senator Bailey, of Texas, or that he
financed the senator's land operations
in the South, former Congressman Jo-
seph c. Sibley testified, almost naively,
that he had given advice to Bailey
which enabled the Statesman" to make
100000.
The testimony of the ex- congressman
was taken by Commissioner r. j. Nc
Neill, representing the Clapp investi-
eating committee of the United States
senate. Sibley who has been referred
to as the Standard Oil Company's lit
tie political spy" in congress, gave his
testimony in his home in this city,
with a physician in attendance at the
time
The questioning of Sibley was the
result of the revelations made by Will

Daughter of the Colonel Will
Wed DR.. Derby, Noted as
an Athlete.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2O.-It was the
most natural thing in the world for
Miss Ethel Carew Roosevelt and DR..
Richard Derby to fall in love, because
they are both in love with a good horse
and ardently devoted to outdoor sports
and exercises. So Miss Roosevelt, a
superb horsewoman, figuratively rode
into the doctors heart, and it was as a
fine cavalier that he won hers, most
probably.
But the intimate friends of the young
pair needed no gift of prophecy to fore
tell months ago that Dr. Derby would
ask, will you ride side by side with
me through life?" and that Miss Roose-
welt would answer blushingly, Yes"
Besides being an admirable horse
graduated in '03, and that gave him
an advantage "in the running" as Miss
Roosevelt herself might say. Certainly
it did no harm that DIR. Derby could
add a Harvard degree to his many viz
tues and accomplishments when he
came to ASK papa"
In a word, the romance Of Miss
Roosevelt and Dr. Derby has been a
romance of the saddle. They were very
much in each others society last sum
mer and autumn at open-air horse
shows.
And their friends, seeing how in
tensely interested Miss Roosevelt and
DIR. Derby were in each other, made sure
to invite them to the same house par
ties on Long Isand-as everybody
knows Propinquity and Cupid go hand
in hand.
Her friends vow that Miss Roosevelt
is a fine type of sweet young American
womanliness, the result Of the ideal
home atmosphere she has breathed.
The lucky man who has won her
seems worthy of her There is nothing
Of the mollycoddle about DR.. Derby.
His Harvard classmates thought so
much of him that they made him first
marshal of the class at the commence
ment Of 'O3, and there is no higher non
or his fellows can confer on a chap

Huerta Admirer and
Friend of Porfirio Diaz.

AT council of officers, including
Former Minister of War Mondagon and
General Banquet, who took a leading
part in Tuesdays coup, Huerta charged
that Madero had tried to poison him
with wine charged with cyanide of po-
tassium.
IF we are to command respect for
law we must make it respected by tho
strictness of its enforcement" declared
Huerta.
The new provisional president was
always an admirer of Porfrio Diaz.
whose ways he studied and aimed to
initiate. When Porfrio Diaz was exiled
by Madero, General Huerta acted as mis-
body guard to Vera Cruz and stood lbs.
the side of the aged dictator until h.
was safe on board ship. There was am
affecting parting between the two. and
during the turmoil of the last two wears
Huerta has privately expressed ill.,.
wish many times that Diaz would re-
turn. He was too much of a soldier to
express the wish openly. but remained
loyal to Madero until the ship Of state
was completely wrecked on the shoals
of rebellion
The body of Gustavo Madero. brother
OF Francisco Madero and former minis
ter of finance, who was executed yes
terday by Diaz's insurgents, was claim
ed by his family and privately buried

to answer a few questions about cam

Several times he ceased talking only
when the commissioner broke In with

never expressed view in a letter that
he wouldn't have been willing to ex-
press from his seat in the house. He
was always guided by the best of mo-
