above.
''On the occasion of Mr.. Cannon's ev-
ening reception, went in company
with Mr.. Loeb and with James Sloane,
a secret service man. The occasion was
not in the afternoon, it was in the ev-

Mr.. Loeb came back with me and
Sloane seeing me to the carriage when
1 left.
'On such occasions Mr.. Loeb fire.
quently stayed and we did some work
IN the study after our return to the
White House. On all these occasions,
Mr.. Loeb went with me and also two
secertt service men. On the Cannon
occasion, remember that one OF these
men was Mr.. Sloane.
1T was the duty of the secret SER
vice men to go with me, and TO see
me safely back to the White House,
but on this occasion as Sloane was
in CannonS district and had number
of friends there he did not come back
with me, and said goodby at the car
riage and returned to the gathering.
Mr.. Loeb. however, returned to the
White House, 1 was with Mr.. Newber-

"Of my work in the White House.
"On the 18th and 18th of February
L
Mrs. Roosevelt and my daughter at
the Marquis hotel II East Thirty-hrs
street. To the best of my knowledge
and belief there is no bar in the hotel.
Mrs. Roosevelt and my daughter and
had breakfast served in our apartment
at about 8. Immediately afterwards on
both days, 7 walked down Madison ave-
nue. to Twenty-third street across to
Fourth avenue and into the Outlook OF
flee, doing work and seeing various
people until about $50 p. m, the first
day and until the next day going
out for a few minutes for lunch.
when 1 left the office on Monday
1 walked up Fourth avenue to Thirty
first street and across to the Marquis
hotel, where had tea with Mrs. Roose-
welt. On Tuesday 1 left at and took
the $50 train from the Pennsylvania
depot for oyster Bay. On neither day
did 1 touch a drop of anything at
any time. When in town 1 usually but
not always lunch with some members
of the Outlook staff and during the
three years duty which I have on an
average of once or twice lunched with
any one I do not recall an instance
were 1 ever drank anything except
either milk, tea or coffee. On these
two days 1 never went up Fifth ave-
nue. nor above Forty-second street.
Il have not been in the Waldorf |
unless at a public dinner for certainly |
three years and 1 was not in the |
Waldorf on either of those two days. |
On neither of those two days did 1 |
go into or come out of any building /
in Forty-second street and on neither |
of those two days did I go above |
Thirty-first or Thirty-second streets |
on Fifth avenue. Between 4 and 6 |
O'Clock the avenue is densely crowded. |
Never Intoxicated.
For the last fifteen years I can
give you in detail just about what L
have drunk and I have given it sub
stantially above and neither during
these fifteen years or since I have
been of age have 1 ever under any
been even the smallest
degree under the influence of liquor.
Il do not remember within the last
dozen years drinking even a part of
a glass of beer except once. That
was at the Deutscher club. Whenever
1 go to Milwaukee, L try to go to the
Deutscher club for a call. At their
request, L think in 1903, 1 drank
mouthful of beer. They offered me
beer and 1 asked if they could not
get me some white wine, saying 1
never drank beer. They asked me if
1 would not take mouthfuI anyway,
because'they said it was the beer that
made Milwaukee famous. So I took
a mouthful and then took white wine
They then all sang songs, but there
was only one song in which 1 could
join.
while 1 was governor and always
my habits in using wine and cham
payne have been precisely as stated"
