MARQUETTE, Mich, May 27.
-QBy United Press )-COlonel
Roosevelt was the first witness
this morning I'm his $4,000 libel
suit against Editor Newett.
Roosevelt took the stand at 0:30
and answered questions asked by
James II. Pound, his attorney.
He recited the history of his life,
touching lightly on his experi-
ences in his African hunt "a few
years ago. He identified a copy
of the "Iron Ore" which contain
ed accusations against him.
The colonel said: 81 saw the
paper for the first time In Mercy
hospital after l was shot by
Schrank. l have never drank
cocktail nor a highball in my
life. With exceptions noted l
have never drank whisxey or
brandy except under the advice of
a physician. / don't like to taste
either. / don't smoke or drink
beer. for I dislike both. l don't
drink whisky or brandy except
under a physician's advice unless
perhaps after great exposure
when I feel chilled through.
don't drink red wines. The only
wines l ever drink white wines,
madeira, champagne or an occa-
sional glass of sherry. At home
l often drink wine glass or two
of madeira.
In the course of his testimony
Roosevelt said: 1.-THE only ex-
ceptions that l have stated about
drinking whisky or brandy are as
follows:
mint julip l rarely drink. l
should say that on the average /
have drunk half a dozen mint
julips in a year. Since l left the
White House, to my best memory
/ have drunk mint julips only
twice, once at the Country club
in st. Louis, where l drank part
of a glass, and once at a big
luncheon in Little Rock, where
they passed around a loving cup
containing mint julip. The only
other occasion where whisky was
drunk was when the doctor pre-
scribed it. During the last IA
years don't believe l have drunk
Whisky straight or with water
half a dozen times.
"On my African trip I took
case of champagne, a case of
whisky and a bottle of brandy
along. The latter was taken be-
cause / don't drink whisky. Cham
pagne was used by members of
the party who were down occa-
sionally with the fever, dysen-
terry, and for travellers, mission
aries and others whom We met
who were sick"
Concluding his testimony
Roosevelt said: 81 have never
made a practice of public drink
ing at the bar. / don't believe
/ have drunk at the bar or inside
a saloon in twenty years"

it, and, honest, Joe, what he did

Gee, Clarence was mad!"
That's It," cried Bonds.
''Thats what we gotta do
Gotta do what?" asked Mamie,
bewildered.
1--WE gotta make him good and
mad" said Bonds.
The evening of the battle Clar-
ence met Mamie coming from the
store and walked home with her.
At the gate Mamie said: "How
you feelin', Clarence? Fit?"
Rotten" said Clarence. as
cheerful as mourner.
Mamie laughed in bogus optlm-
ism. you look pretty good to
me-" she said, shyly. "And you'll
beat that dub, Clarence. I feel
it in my bones.'
Then she made as If to go,
only to turn back.

breathlessly, take this. Have it

No, it amt rabbits foot.

"All right" promised Clarence.
"But it won't do any good"

the ropes that night he had a
hunch he was going to get licked

frame of mind does not make for

Frisco Tommy Sullivan
grinned at him from his corner.
There was no humor in that grin.
1t was challenge and a threat.
The fight began. Frisco"
Tommy shot stiff left to Clar-
ence's face. Clarence covered
up, and got a clam in the midriff
for his pains. Clarence lunged,
and Frisco" Tommy danced
away, still grinning; then came
back with a one-two, one-two.
Clarence clinched affectionately
and determinedly. He wouldn t
let go, though the referee tried
to pry him loose.
The second round was like the
first, only worse. "Frisco" Tom
my did all the fighting, Clarence
all the hugging. Clarence simply
wouldn't stand up and fight. The
fans jeered.
The third was so one-sided and
uninteresting that Bonds signaled
the seconds that the time was
ripe to make Clarence good and
mad.
'You stiff" hissed the seconds.
"You dub! You yellow dog!
You ouitter!"
But Clarence wouldn't get mad.

Clarence Cassidy had a yellow
streak. He knew it. His man
ager, Joe Bonds, knew it. The
sporting editors knew it. And,
worst of all, Mamie Schmidt knew
lit, though she wouldn't admit 1t,
even to herself. Mamie was keep
ing company with Clarence, and a
Isquarer girl never pulled a felia's
leg for chocolate sundae.
Clarence had class, everybody
admitted that. He had speed,
science, Silk and a punch in
either hand. He might have been
the worlds champion lightweight
but for that yellow streak.
So when Clarence was matched
for a four-round bout with 'Fris-
co Tommy Sullivan (whose faith
er and mother were born in
Naples) Joe Bonds was worried.
At this late date / don't re-
member whether ''Frisco" Tom
my was styled bearcat, or a
thunderbolt, or an assassin, but
/ do recall that he was regarded
as logical contender for the

Bonds waylaid Mamie at the
entrance to the department store,
where she worked, a few even
ings before the battle.

me-we know Clarence, eh?"
Mamie nodded.

was too ashamed for Clarence's
sake to say more.

on. "Maybe it's the wrong dope,

enced and versatile seconds would
invent couldn't rouse Clarence to
the hopedfor bersecxer rage.
Clarence stood, crouched and
covered up, in the middle of the
ring, as terrible as a man of putty.
The gong rang. Clarence, groggy
and all in, wabbled to his corner.
"You pinhead!" rasped one
second.
"You marple-top!" sneered the
other.
"Cut out the bouquets" gasp
ed Clarence, land reach down i'm
me belt. You'll find bit of pa
per. Give to me-"
They complied, and Clarence
with difficulty opened it and read
Mamie's message.
'Mr. Clarence Cassidy" it
ran, ''you are a boob. al
ways knew you had a yellow
streak. You couldn't lick
postage stamp. Frisco Tom
my could lick two like you.
1 don't want ever to see you
again. Your friend, Mamie

Clarence raised his head. There
opposite sat Frisco" He hated
the grinning, confident Tommy.
He hated Bonds. He hated the
jeering crowd. And, most of all,
he hated Mamie Schmidt. Boob,
eh? GUTTER, eh? Had a yellow
streak, did he? He'd show 'em!
Just let him get at that third
rater who thought he could fight!
Just one good slam! Just one,
and
The bell rang.
And at that instant Clarence
started haymaker.
Joe Bonds grinned. At last
at last Clarence was good and
mad.
At the tap of the gong Clar-
ence was out of his corner. He
catapulted through space. The
haymaker started from behind
and below the hip. 1t flashed
forward and upward in a curve.
And behind it was more than 1913
pounds of bone and muscle.
Pride, shame, hate, love, white
hot anger-all these were behind
the blow. oh, yes, Clarence was
mad.
And the haymaker went home.
1t landed flush on the point of
"Frisco" Tommy's jaw. And
Tommy was lifted six inches off
the floor, and landed on the
back of his neck, and lay limp
as a castoff Carmen, still grim
ming. And
Joe and Mamie had an awful
time squaring it with Clarence.
Mamie consented to give up her
job at the Peoples Store. Clar-
ence quit the fight game some
years ago, to please Mamie. 1

In Pasadena, California, there
is a luxurious little California
bungalow that VIM. st. John RaE-
ney built for his wife and little
daughter, Helen.
It's been the scene of many gay
parties, merry dinners, bright
days and merry evenings. Now
the shades are drawn, the doors
barred and the rooms that once
held so much gaiety are unhospit-

The wife still lives there, and

Startling evidence to the ef-
feet that Attorney Louis 1. Le-
febvre had obtained a $4,000
verdict for an invalid young
woman injured by a Seattle street
car, had pocketed the money, ard
later loaned the girl $1,000 for
her expenses on a trip to CalifOr-
mia, was brought out at the dis
barment trial of the attorney to-
day.
The young woman, Mrs. Ella
Langendorfer, formerly Miss Ella
callahan, Tacoma stenographer,
gave a graphic story of the trans
action on the witness stand in
Judge Cards court today. Her
statements were born out by Of
ficial documents and evidence
brought from the King county
courts. The young woman had
formerly been employed as a
stenographer in Lefebvre's office.
The girl was injured by Sc
attic street car in 1910. Le-
febvre took the case, and jury
In the King county court returned
a verdict of $4,000. The money
was paid over to Lefebvre at once,
according to evidence submitted
by Prosecutor Dow.
The girl was an invalid and
confined to her bed. At first
Lefebvre loaned her 5000, she
said. Then he came to her, tell
ing her that the street railway
company had appealed the case to
the supreme court, and told her
that he would loan her 81 900 for
a trip through California for her
health. She accepted the loan,
she said, and went to Los An
geles.
Some time later, the girl said,
she learned that the verdict had
never been appealed. 1t was
nearly a year after the trial that
she recovered the remainder of
the verdict.
Lefebvre's defense in the dis
barment proceedings is mystery.
He made no objections to any
testimony today, scarcely cross
examining any witnesses.
Judge Cards court was crowd
gu tOudy WITH dtlOIucyo, WiIuSSoco
and spectators. The trial will
probably continue all day tomor-
row. Mrs. Lefebvre was one of
the interested spectators in the
gallery today.
Two specific charges were
brought to light by evidence yes
terday afternoon when Alexander
Paltrahas, a mill hand, and Will
lam Vaelkovitch testified. llhere
were witnesses to substantiate
both men.
Paltrahas lost a finger in a
mill accident apd put the case
In Lefebvre's hands. The attor-
ney settled out of court for $3.50,
it was shown, and gave his client
checx for $175. Paltrahas
could not get cash for the check
for several months.
Vaelkovitch settled with the
county for 500 for q road right
of-way, through the attorney. lie
was given check for the amount
and did not manage to cash the
paper for six months.

A coMMENDABLE ORGANIZATION
IN BUTTS COUNTY.
John R. Fsin, Professor Of Asronomy


The representative planters of
Butts county recently met and form
ed the Butts County Grain Growers
Association with Hon. C. s. Maddox
as president and S. X. Smith as sec.
rotary.
THE purpose of the organization is
to stimulate interest in growing a
greater variety of grain crops, par
ticularly corn and oats. Every per-
son over 10 years of age is eligible
to membership on payment of fee
of 81. Contests are to be conducted
with six premiums as prizes for the
best yields, the premium being offer
ed as follows: for the largest yield
of corn from one acre of upland for
the largest yield on one acre of bot.
tom land, for the second largest yield
per acre on upland, for the second
largest yield on bottom land, for the
third largest yield from an acre of
upland and the third largest yield
from an acre of bottom land. Pre-
miums in the same schedule are Of
fered for oats.
Complete rules are laid down gov.
erning the contest, respecting the
classification of the land the con-
testing crop, the measurements Of the
acre, the reports as to methods OF
cultivation used, etc.
This movement is admirable, just
the. very thing to supplement the corn
Club work and stimulate general in
sterest in and knowledge of cereals.
Every county in the state should fol.
low this example and then all these
associations should be affiliated with
the Georgia Breeders Association. In
such cooperation there are unlimited
possibilities for the upbuilding of ce-
real industry of Georgia.

--lTH AND woS.,s


Years ago in beautiful grove
several miles from Marietta little
school house was built. 1t was not
finished but a school was started.
The wind came in through the thin
planks and chilled the teacher and
children but the boys put their
overcoats on the back of the seats
to keep the girls warm. In this
little house Methodists. Baptists,
Presbyterians and Episcopalians
met together to worship. Christ
mas trees, singing schools, writing
lessons, clubs and Sunday schools
We're held there. Will d. Upshow
named this place Kirk Academy.
Rev. G. T. A. Pise preached beau
tiful sermons and Bishop Nelson
confirmed a class. Mr.. w. H.
Trezevant had Sunday school every
Sunday afternoon for many years.
The house was ceiled and an organ
put in.
Last year a church was organized
at this place and the people realized
that they must have larger build
ing. Two months ago the men met
in the work and in two days cut
and hauled logs more than enough
to frame a large church. In unity
there is strength" They handled
these huge logs and heavy lumber
with ease. But there was some
thing else in the way. In building
the school house years ago the men
had it built on the hillside. 1t must
be moved to give room for the
church. Last week in the rain,
mud and cold the men worked and
with the small amount of twelve
dollars and their united efforts
moved and turned this house around
where they wanted it.
The church is not built, but with
willing, eager hands and hearts and
Gods help it will be.
