Roosevelt Wins His Suit
Against Editor.
TEDDY ADDRESSES THE COURT
Declares He Wants For All
Time To Discredit Any
Such ISLANDERS.
THE PRINCIPALS DIDN'T MEET

Marquette, May 3l.- Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt to-day won his Ii
bel suit against Geo. A. Newett,
who had charged the Colonel with
drunkenness, when the defendant
brought the case to a sudden close
by admitting he was mistaken"
and that he had been unable to
find, in any section of the country,
an individual witness willing to
state that he had personally seen
Mr.. Roosevelt drink to excess"
Following this retraction of New
EFT, which he read from the stand
where he had been called as the
first. witness for-the- defense, Colo
ne Roosevelt waived damages and
the jury, according to instructions
from the court, awarded nominal
damages of six cents, provided in
such cases by the laws of Michigan.
Colonel Roosevelt left for Chica-
go and the East early this evening.
When Newett was called to the
stand, after the plaintiff had an
nounced he would rest he read
from a manuscript the retraction
of the libelous charges, admitted a
futile search had been made for
some one who had personal knowl-
edge of excessive drinking on the
part of Colonel Roosevelt, and in
sisted that he believed the charges
true at the time he made them and
continued to so believe up to the
opening of the trial.
He believed. furthermore. said
Newett, that the information was
proper for the public which was
President. He declared no request
for retraction ever had been receiv-
ed by him, and that when suit was
filed, he had no choice but to seek
for establishment of the truth of
his charges. The character and
abundance of proof offered by the
plaintiff. however. he said, had con-
vinced' him he was mistaken.
When Newett left the stand at
the conclusion of his retraction.
Col. Roosevelt's attorney asked
permission of the court for plaintiff
to speak, and the Colonel addressed
the court to the effect he would
waive the matter of damages save
for the nominal amount provided
by law. as the purpose in the filing
of the suit was not the recovery of
money. but once for all my life
time to deal with these ISLANDERS so
that never again will it be possible
for any man in good faith to repeat
them"
Following a brief recess the court
addressed a charge to the jury. ex-
pressing the conviction of Roose-
+velt's sobriety. and instructing the
jury to find for the plaintiff, with
damages of six cents. Judge Elan
nigan held that Newett, in publish
ing the editorial, was not actuated
by i'll will. but acted in good faith.
The principals to the suit left the
court house separately and without
meeting

the eg gs candled out every summer
by car-lot shippers and the wholesale
egg dealers are fertile eggs in which
the germ has started to develope
! and then died when subjected to a
lower temperature, thus causing de-
cay to set in. A fertile egg kept in a
warm room or a hot country store for
even twenty-four hour will be unfit
for food on account of the growth of
the germ.
Infertile eggs laid by hens with
which no male is running will keep in
good condition for two weeks or even
longer when subjected to a tempera-
ture which would spoil a fertile egg in
twenty-four hours. To illustrate this
fact a cake was recently baked
at this Experiment Station, in the
making of which infertile eggs were
used that had been in an incubator
fourteen days, subjected to tempera-
ture of 103 to 104 degrees. The cake
was eaten with a relish by a dozen
men, who pronounced it first class in
every respect.
When the farmers of this State get
to producing infertile eggs during the
summer months, they will, as a result,
eventually get a much higher price
for their eggs. Until they do this,
there is not much hope for an i'm
provement in prices.

Liberty Boil in Danger.

Every boy and girl of school age has
heard the story of the Liberty Bell,
but they have not read the article on
another page of the REGISTER.
AT this season, when our patriotism
IS running high, we are particularly
interested in this relic of the days
when our forefathers fought for indie
pendence. The difficulty of getting
a bell without defects, its many func-
tlons, it's travels, and whether it shall
be taken to the Panama Exposition in
California, are all treated in the article.
Did you know that this most treasured
OF Rational relics is not originally an
American product? Read it.

Swat the Rooster!

-
from the Missouri State Poultry Station.)
"Swat the ROOSTER should be the
motto of every Missouri ponlt1'y raiser
for the month of June. In fact condi-
tions are such thatthe Governo or would
be fully warranted in issuing a pro-
claInation designating the first day of
Julae as "Rooster Day" and urging
the farmers and poultry raisers of the
State on that day to kill, sell or sep
arate the roosters from their hocks.
Absolutely millions of dollars worth
of Missouri market eggs are spoiled
every summer because they are fer
tile, and it is the Missouri farmer and
pc ultry raisers who are losing this
tremendous sur each year. The
eastern egg buyers have discovered
by years of experience that one out
of every five eggs coming from
this State is a bad egg, and they make
the price to us and our egg buyers ac-
coldingly. So it is the producer who
loses after all.
After the Matching season is over
there is no longer any reasonable ex-
cu.se for keeping the males with the
laying hens. Some people imagine
that the hens lay more eggs if the
roosters are allowed to run with them.
This is a mistake. On the contrary,
careful experiments have shown that
a flock of hens will actually lay more
eggsif the males ara not allowed with
them.
Because the deterioration which
takes place in an egg is not easily
visible to the naked eye, as in fruits,
vegetables, etc., people do not realize
that it is one of the most perishable
of all food prod ucts. This is especial
ly true of the fertile egg. A fertile
egg kept in a warm room will become
unfit for eatirlg purposes almost al
quickly as milk.
1t is q mistaken idea that a fertile
egg has to be iii an incubator or undel
a hen in order for the germ to begir
to develop. A very large per cent. o

Alabama rate case was the first case
of this character to be heard before the
judges.
In this connection" said Mr.. Brieken,
'it is interesting to note that the ameud-
ment to the original law extending its
operation to orders of a state commits
sion was passed by the House during
the closing hours of the last regular ses-
sion of Congress, after - o'clock on the
night of March 3. by reason of the ef-
forts of one of Alabama's representatives.
Mr.. Clayton, whe as chairman of the
judiciary committee. had charge of the
measure and realized its vital Importance
to the various states of the Union. BY
his untiring zeal he secured its passage,
when owing to the late hour at which
it reached the House this seemed to be
almost an impossibility.
80 Alabamians feel that by his vigi-
lance in this matter he has rendered a
service which is of peculiar value to Ala
baina in her present efforts, to enforce
her railroad rate regulations

The prospect that hereafter the state
