Roosevelt Says He Doesn't Use
 Strong Liquors

Marquette, Mich, May 27.-Theo- dore Roosevelt took the witness stand today, in his libel suit against George w. Newett, who in an editorial charg- ed him with drunkenness The for naer president entered a denial. He admitted using light wines with his meals but never touched strong H. quors except on advice of his physt- elan or after great exposure. He said he did not smoke or touch beer.
 He testified, ''I don't smoke and l don't drink beer because dislike smoking and dislike the taste of beer. I never have drunk whiskey or brandy except as the doctors prescribed it or possibly on some occasion after great exposure when I was chilled through. But it has been certainly 15 or 20 years since have drunk it because of being chilled through. I never have drunk beer nor do [ drink red wine. The only wines that I have drunk have been white wines, madeira. champagne or occasionally a glass of sherry At home often at dinner will drink a wineglass or two of Madeira. In summer, instead of the Madeira will often drink a glass of champagne or perhaps two. think on the average this means that I will drink champagne about once a month. The only exceptions on which have stated about drinking whiskey and brandy are as follows: Mint ju1epS I very rarely drink. At the White House we had the mint bed and I should think that on the average I may have drunk half a dozen mint juleps a year.

MANY BROKERAGE BRANCH HOUSES
 ORDERED CLOSED
DulIness of Stock Market Hits Hard the Firms Depending
 on Trading
E. I. Chapman Tells The Farmer About SitIatiOn-His House
 Not Greatly Affected

The duIIness of the stock market and the almost entire cessation of speculation in margins by the general public has hit some of the brokers andAstock market houses below the belt, and all over the country there is a general move toward the closing of branch offices, many of which have not met their expenses for months past. The trend of the market has been downward for a considerable time and stocks, with some few excep- tions, are now at a very low level and the transactions even in the main of fees ip Wall street are at a very low ebb.
 In this city the business has fallen off to a considerable extent and a couple of the branch offices which have been doing business here have announced intention to close because the commissions on purchases and sales do not warrant the continuance of the offices. It has been rumored that the house of Boody, Mcclellan & Co. was to close it's local office, but Manager E. I. Chapman in an inter- view with 8 Farmer reporter this morning said that that is not so.
 Our office will remain open" said MT. Chapman, although we are not doing nearly so much business as we were doing at this time last year so far as transactions upon the Stock Exchange is concerned, but we do a large investment business and repre- sent number Of the banks of this city buying and selling bonds and other securities for them. and there has been no time, not even the dull- est, when we have not shown @ profit for our months work.
 "I know that all over the country branch offices are being closed, one big New York house having recently ordered the closing of it's Chicago of fees because the public generally is not following the market, but the house of Boody, Mcclellan & Co. will continue in business at the same old l stand, as we do not depend upon the commissions for the buying and sell ing of stocks upon margin as some of the houses representing Wall street firms do. Our sales of bonds and other investment securities make us practically independent of the fluctua- tions of the Stock Exchange
 MT Chapman ascribed the dulIness in business largely to the apathy of the public, and while he admitted stocks of the speculative variety are at a low ebb, he believed that there would soon be an upward trend and that there would be more activity in the market. At the present time, he saids nearly all the trading in Wall street is by the professional traders who do not care whether the market goes up or down so long as 1t is ac- tive. It is not very active just now, but the professional traders still keep up a pretense of buying and selling
 The dullness of business is not due to a general cautiousness of the pulp lie, which will wear off in time and l the usual activity will be resumed. Tn the mean time the house of Boody Mcclellan & Co. will be ready to serve it's patrons as usual.

Double Machine Denounced By Senator Whitcomb As
 Bent Loses By 18 to 15
Continued from Page 1.)

tConC1nued from Page 1.) the leader in the Senate of the mini ority, and the ablest member of the Judiciary committee, a close neighbor of Bridgeport, stood with them in de- cfaring that the best interests of Bridgeport could be served by the eIec- uon of MT. Bent as judge. seThe forces that are engaged here and have been engaged" said he, stin trying to oyerturn the report of the committee represent a political combination that bodes no good for Bridgeport or it's citizens
 Senator Hurley arose to explain that he was going to vote for Cougfllin be- with Senator Newman came to see him and asked him to do so and he had so agreed, and he would not break his word Senator Frohlich said he regarded himself as pledged to MT. =CoughIin because the Democratic sem aItors had agreed i'm caucus to stand by the choice of the Senators from each district and that a majority of the Bridgeport delegation favored MT. CoughIfn.
 Judge McDonough replied that if that was his only reason he would have to support MT Bent, as the two repre- sentatives from Bridgeport and Sen tor Whdtcomb, a majority of the dele gates from Bridgeport favored Bent
 Senator McNei1 said it was too bad
 
 been tedious. He said at the hearing before the committee both sides were equally well represented. Two of the three Senators from Bridgeport he said. were favorable to Judge CoughHn and it was a Bridgeport matter and he could not understand why the gen. tIeman from Naugatuck, Senator Nc Donough, took an interest so active in the affairs of the Bridgeport city court He said all Senator Newman had said about Judge Coughfin was true. Senator Whitcomb had made an excellent Senator, and had a fine rec ord, he said, but this is a question where ttle wishes of the two Senators from Bridgeport should prevail. He sincerely hoped the Senators would stand by the substitute resolution, and vote for Coughlin instead of for Bent.
 A roll call vote was then taken with the result as above stated.
 Senator McNen then moved to recon sider and expressed the hope that his motion would be defeated. His motion was defeated.
 The action of the Senate will prob ably reach the House tomorrow. In the House is a report signed by five Representatives in favor of Carl Eos ter for Judge and Frank l.. Wilder for Deputy Judge, awaiting consideration by that body

MiehelanaeIo.

Michelangelo stood in the front rank both as painter and sculptor In both arts he was worthy of the highest praise. The fresco of the a'Last Judg- ment'' in the Sistine chapel is consid- cred the most wonderful picture in the world, showing the omnipotence of artistic science and the fiery daring of conception that but few other paintings can even approximate. In sculpture the ''Moses'' and the Slaves not to mention other pieces, rank among the. finest creations of the art and proclaim Michelangelo to have been as master full with his chisel as he was with his brush.-New York American

Where the Apostles Fished.

The abundance of fish in the sea of Galtlee is to this day the wonder of travellers. Most of the fishing done by the Syrians involves the use of nets probably identical in construction with those of the apostles, and the best evil dence of the fishing having through the centuries been done with nets is to be found in the ease with which most of the fish may be deceived with the help of any bait, natural or artificial. The pellucid water of this beautiful lake, with it's ever changing reflections, is in striking contrast with the muddy deeps of the Jordan, but the silt in that river, however unsightly to the eye, does not seem to inconvenience it's fish, which are extraordinarily plentiful even in the lower reaches before it falls into that deathly lake which the Arabs call the sea of Lot.-London Out look.
