STAGE IS SET FOR
R00sEVELT'S SUIT
Ex-PRESIDENT DEMANDS $4,000
OF EDITOR WHO SAID
HE DRANK.
BOTH PLEDGED NOT TO TALK
Identity of Only One Defense Wit,
ness, Therefore, Has Been Re-
vealed-Courthouse too
Small.

Marquette, Mich, May 26.-When
Marquette erected a big, red brick
court house a few years ago and
topped it with certain architectural
flourishes, there were critics who de-
clared that a building at half the
price would have sufficed for any
emergency the county would ever be
called upon to meet.
carpers Are Silent.
The carpers are silent now, for the
building will not hold all those who
want to be present to see Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt attempt to show that
George A. Newett, publisher of the
Iron Ore, a weekly paper of the neigh
boring city Of Ishpeming, was in err
ror when he published hat "Roose-
welt gets drunk, and that not infre-
quently, and all his intimates know
it,"
Tuesday will see the case in full
swing, as the preliminaries will have
then been done with.
Pledges From Both.
When the suit was filed Judge
Flanagan secured pledges from both
parties to the suit to refrain from
discussing the case with newspaper
men and to keep secret the contents
of dispositions and the James of wit
nesse. The pledges have been kept.
Today In this city no outsider knows
the name of a defense witness except
that of an Ohio newspaper man
whose paper is said to have publish
ed his testimony.
With the news that Colonel Roose-
welt was on his way west, however,
interest in the case vas revived. The
suit is almost the sole topic of con-
versation here.
The former president will be the
guest Of a friend, George Shiras, ia
o as a photographer of wild ami
mails in their native jungles, during
his stay here. His attorneys are
James Fl. Pound of Detroit, Mich,
and w. s. Hill of Marquette. Mr..
Newett is represented in court by
William p. Belden of Ishpeming, and
Horace Andrews of Cleveland, Ohio.
Newett A Republican.
Mr.. Newett in the campaign of last
year remained in the ranks of the
Republicans and the publication of
the Roosevelt editorial was an Incl
dent of that struggle.
This only is known of his defense:
He will claim that publication of the
article was privileged as comment on
a public character running for public
Office and as a secondary line of de-
tense he will attempt to prove that
the editorial was the truth.
The defendant has declined all con-
tributions of money to assist in his
defense, according to a statement
made by his son.

POISONED BANKER IS DEAD
OFF THIS BE DEATH, NO ONE
NEED FEAR" DYING WORDS.
Believed He WouIe Recover, How.
ever-Treatment Held Secret
BY Physicians.

Macon, Ga, May 23.-B. Sanders
Walker, the banker, is dead, without
having recovered from the state of
coma into which he sank late Wednes-
day.
Displaying in his few conscious mo-
ments the courage which has char.
acterized his weeks fight with death
from poisoning, Mr.. Walker was for
hours before the end finally came, ex-
pected by his attending physicians
to die at any moment. Although he
battled for life since last Wednesday
when he took a kichloride of mercury
tablet by mistake, the young banker
late Wednesday, for the first time,
lapsed into Inconsistencies. After
that he regained consciousness only
for a few moments at intervals.
A characteristic %utterance, made
just before he went into a state of
partial coma, illustrates the remark
ables composure with which he has
faced death.
IF / am dying" he said, then the
sensation is not as it is generally pic
tured. If this be death, then no one
need fear it's terrors.
The attending physicians who had
exhausted every method of treatment
known to medical science, expressed
the belief that Walker could not live
more than a few hours.
Despite assurance of certainty of
death as a result of his paralyzed or
gans, Walkers belief that he would
recover was not shaken at a late hour.
Efforts to ascertain the exact treat
ment Walker was given were un-
availing. The physicians declined to
discuss this subject at all.

Mr.. UNDERWOOD CRITICISED
Four Northwest congressman, All
Republicans, Favor Tariff Commits
sion and Criticise Democrats.

Minneapolis, May pa tariff COM
mission to solve the tariff problem
was advocated by four Northwest con-
gressmen. Irving l.. Lenroot and
James Frear of Wisconsin, and Sydney
Anderson and James Manahan of Min
nesota. The occasion was a compli-
mentary dinner given to MIR. Manahan
at the Elks' club.
The four congressman, all Republi-
cans, denounced in the most scathing
terms the Underwood tariff bill now
pending in the senate. They con
demned the methods employed by the
Democratic majority In the house and
they predicted serious results to fol-
low the Underwood bill. The tariff
commission idea, first advocated by
President Taft, was said to be the
only fair method of dealing with the
tariff problem.
The reorganization of the Republi-
can party was said to be hear at hand
and the passing Of the Progressive
party vas forecast.

DAUGHTER
BECOMES A BRIDE
PRINCESS VICTORIA LOUISE OF
GERMANY is Welded TO
PRINCE ERNST.
HUSBAND RULES NEW STATE
Becomes Duke Of Brunswick and
Grand Duke of Luneburg-
Match Heals Old
Breach.

Berlin, May "a. - Love and diplo-
macy entered into the marriage today
of Princess Victoria Louise, the only
daughter of Emperor William, and
Prince Ernst August, youngest SON of
the duke of Cumberland.
Most Brilliant Affair.
In brilliancy and in point Of the
great number of royal personages
present the nuptials far outshone any
similar event during the past decade.
Kings, monarchs of lesser rank and
crown princes and princesses saw the
f~air-haired, %blue-eyed twenty-one-year-
old daughter of the German kaiser
become the wife of the s~trapping
twenty-six-year-old prince, and with
the ceremony was healed a breach
between the houses of Hohenzollern
and Guelph which had existed for
about half a century. The ceremonies
really began two days ago, with the
marriage ceremonies today as the eli
max. The civil ceremony took place
in the new marble palace at Potsdam;
the religious rites were celebrated in
this city.
Princess Victoria Louise had for her
attendants three of the prettiest girls
OF her own caste in Europe. They
were Princess Mary, daughter OF King
George and Queen Mary of England;
Princess Elizabeth. daughter of King
Charles of Roumania; Grand Duchess
Olga, eldest daughter Of the Gar OF
Russia, and Princess Yolanda of Italy.
Wedding Gifts Fabulous.
AS would be imagined. the wedding
gifts are almost fabulous. Their value
is estimated at close to SO, 000, 900.
The kaiser was SO glad that the old
quarrel with the house of Guelph was
settled that, after the marriage had
been arranged, he promised to create
a new German state and make the
groom the ruler of II. Accordingly
Prince Ernest today became the duke
of Brunswick and the grand duke Of
Luneburg. This gives the young hus-
band a responsible job and makes him
the equal in rank with the kings of
Saxony and Wurtemburg and the
prince regent of Bavaria. A consider
able portion of the province Of Han
over, which belongs to Prussia, was
added to the new states.

DIARY TELLS OF DISASTER
EXPLORERS NOTES GIVE DE.
TAILS OF LAST EXPEDITION.
Rescued Man Teieeraphs Incoherent
Story Of Gerra an Party Lost In
Arctic Regions.

Berlin, May PA description OF
the terrible sufferings undergone by
the members of the German Arctic
expedition commanded by Lieutenant
Schroeder-Stranz, which met disaster
in Spitzbergen, is given in the diary
of the artist Herr Rave, one of those
rescued. He t~elegraphed extracts to
Berlin.
The extracts in some places are
incomplete and almost incoherent.
They say: "The proposal to abandon
the ship came from Captain Ritschel
at the beginning of September. The
vessel then had provisions for four
months, besides a large supply of con-
densed foods, and she was otherwise
well equipped.
THE party started for Advent bay
and reached a hut on Wide bay on
Oct. A.. Dr. Rudiger, the oceanogra-
pher, was suffering then from a half
frozen foot, two of his toes being in
bad condition. offered to remain
with him there until the others could
bring back help. The hut contained
a months provisions.
"Dr. Rudiger and | were without
tools, sleeping bags or lights. / melt
ed some fat and made lights and fash
Toned some sleeping bags from sailed
skins which | found in the hut. DIR.
Rudiger's foot became worse and
there were no more bandage mate
rails.
THE provisions ran out and we left
the hut Nov. %, hoping to regain the
ship. We suffered severely, having
nothing to drink, but we finally reach
ed a hut at Mossell bay, where we
found seine hard and moldy bread.
I'VE remained there three days. We
arrived at the ship on Dec. /, guild
ing ourselves by the stars.
"Dr. Rudiger, meanwhile, had suf-
fered greatly, two more Of his toes
and four fingers having been frozen,
while his foot became so bad that it
had to be amputated."

large business continues favorable,
the Western situation in these re-
spects being almost antithetical to the
