Moved to Table 1t.

The fight began with a motion Of
Mr.. Slater, of Bryan, to table the bill
for the session. His reasons for this
motion were brought out, as follows
Don't you think this bill will be
willed, if voted on today?" asked Mr.
McMichael, of Marion.
81 do" replied MIR. Slater.
Mr. Blackburn jumped into the
breach and opposed the postponemenI.
Wasn't this bill set for action by
the rules committee?" he was asked.
at was" he replied" and the com
mittee did so because it thought the
bill of the utmost Importance"
Wouldn't tabling this bill be a re-
Fiction on the rules committee?" soma
one wished to know.
ooh, well, as for the hides of mem
bers of the rules committee, they are
tough replied the vice chairman,
land they don't mind"
On an aye and nay vote, the Slater
motion was defeated, SO to so.
Increased Number on Board.
1t was agreed to take up the bill
section by section, and Mr.. Conner s
! amendment to section one was the first
voted on. This increased the number
on the board and was adopted by tho
vote recorded above. Immediately q
motion was made to reconsider a.
ton on this, but it was defeated, 81
to IS, showing that the house ex
pected to stand pat on this idea.
Then began bombardment OF
amendments to each section as reach

count could be made. After this line
had been proceeded along for SON.,
time, a motion to consider the bill as
whole carried, resulting shutting
off all the amendments except those on

said the object of the prosecution
was to stop such slanders.
The court stated his belief was
Roosevelt always had been an alb

lished the charges in good faith with
cut malice, and instructed the jury
to bring in verdict for the plaintiff.
Roosevelt thanked each Juror.
1T was splendid, just perfectly

Newett did not meet after the trial
and each went his way. Newett is a
sick man, and went to his home and
Roosevelt to his train for home.
In concluding his address Roose-
welt said
There is one thing j ought to

servation of this case and of the fair
ness and ability manifested by the
court, | say that Judge Flanagan is
fiji material for the highest court in

Newett's statement said in part:
Il wrote and published the article

intended only as a blow to Roose-

BUSTS BAT; BUST GAME
Heavy Swat With Only Bat Puts
Untimely End to First Ball
Game in S. S. League.

Two clubs with but a single bat,
Two teams that struck with one,
or words to that effect, might be
fittingly inscribed on the memorial
of the first ball game of the Ash
land Sunday School League. The
game came to an untimely end in
the fourth inning and all because
someone had forgotten to bring an
extra bat.
Everything was moving along fine
ly and the Methodists were in a
fairly safe lead when Deibert, in an
effort to make home run, swatted
the ball with the only bat on the
grounds, and diff" the stuff was
all off. The only bat was busted
and there was nothing to do but the
go home.
There was some disagreement as
to the score, the Baptists claiming
that Umpire Pracht had called An
derson out at home. If so, then
they went on and got out a fourth
man. In that event the score stood
2 to in favor of the Methodists,
and if Anderson was not called out
then the score was to l in favor
of the same team.
The batteries were Cole and Lilly
for the Methodists and Harris and
Dews for the Baptists.
The next game of the season will
be next Wednesday evening, between
the Methodists and the Christians.

Marquette, Mich, May 31.-Colonel
Roosevelt won his libel suit today
against George A. Newett, who
charged the colonel with drunken
ness, and having waived damages af-
ter the defendant had uttered a re-
traction, the jury awarded him the
nominal damages of cents as pro-
vided in such cases by the law of
Michigan.
Each party to the suit will have to
pay his own expenses. Judge Flan-
nigan instructed the jury to bring in
verdict for the plaintiff, which it
did without leaving its seats.
The climax to the case was like
its conclusion, powerful drama.
The air seemed to carry a message
portentous. Suddenly the plaintiffs
attorney announced their case con-
cluded. All eyes turned to the de-
fense and Newett was callel to the
stand.
Roosevelt leaned forward, his face,
hard eye and piercing appearance
giving the impression of great ex-
element. He appeared almost ready
TO leap from his chair. Newett read
from a manuscript, and as he pro-
ceeded the intenseness of Roose-
velt's bearing diminished.
ut is fair to the plaintiff to state
that l have been unable to find in
any section of the country any indi-
vidual witness who is willing to
state he has personally seen Mr..
Roosevelt drink to excess.
II am forced" said the defendant,
to the conclusion that l was mis-
taken"
The libel was published in good
faith, said Newett, in the belief it
vas true and proper information and
that it was true the defendant said
he was never questioned until the
libel suit was begun and believed the
assertions until the trial opened.
He had gathered dispositions from
different parts of the country, but
to use them would be to continue an
injustice which had already become
apparent to him and his attorneys.
The colonel at this point was
granted permission to make state
ment and said he would waive the
