T. R. WINS LIBEL SUIT
ROOSEVELT GIVEN SIX CENTS
DAMAGES AGAINST EDITOR.
Publisher Admits That He Cannot
Prove Charoe-colonel Asks Only
Nominal Sum.

Marquette. Mich. June 3.--Theodore
Roosevelt Saturday won his libel suit
against George A.. Newett. editor OF
the Ishpeming Iron Ore. Damages
however, were only nominal, made
possible by the attitude of the colonel
who told the court he did not seek a
punitive verdict
Judge Flanagan instructed the jur-
ors to bring in Il verdict for the plain
tiff. which they did without leaving
their seats. The colonel left for the
east less than two hours after the con-
clusion OF the case.
AS climax of the case which has
been on trial here week Mr.. Newett
himself took the witness stand and
retraeted the charge he had made
Ha said he<had been impressed that
an injustice had been done the colonel
In the publication OF the article and
deeply regretted 1t.
1T Is fair to the plaintiff" he said,
Ito state that have been unable to
find In any section of the country any
individual witness who Is willing to
state that he has personally seen Mr..
ROOSEVELT drink to excess, am forced
to the conclusion that was mis-
taken"
Leaving the stand and returning to
his seat, Mr.. Newett looked In the
direction of Colonel Roosevelt, but the
latter was absorbed in whispering to
Attorney Van Renschoten. The latter
whispered in turn to Attorney Pound
and he turned to Judge Flanagan and
said with the courts permission
the plaintiff would like TO make a
brief announcement"
The judge nodded and Mr.. Roosevelt
rose. Bowling to the court. the colonel
said he would waive the matter OF
damages save for the national amount
provided by law. Speaking of his pur-
pose in instituting suit, he said:
Your honor. in view of the state
ment of the defendant. | ask the court
to instruct the jury that ! desire only
nominal damages. did not go into
this case for money. ! did not go into
It for any vihdictiye purposes. | went
into 1t. and. Nas>the court said made
my reputation an issue because | wish
ed once for all during my lifetime
thoroughly and comprehensively to
deal with these ISLANDERS SO that never
again will 1t be possible for any man
in good faith to repeat then. | have
achieved my purpose and am con-
tent"
Nominal damages means six cents
under the laws of Michigan and no
costs Each party to the suit will pay
the expenses OF his side OF the case.

SENATORS SWEAR NO ONE HAD
CORRUPTED THEM.
President Calls In Supporters and Of.
fers to Give What Information
lie Has.

Washington, June i.--The United
States senate Monday began its OH.
cial hunt for the "insidious lobby"
which President Wilson charged exist
ed to modify the tariff bill. The in.
quiry was carried on by special COM
mittee after the leaders of the under
taking had held final conference with
President Wilson.
Sixteen senator's were examined and
not one of them knew anything OF the
existence OF the lobby referred to by
the president Not one of them knew
anything of money being used by any
body. Everyone declared that no one
had approached him improperly and
to man they defended the right OF
confer with members of congress over
Legislation that was vital to their bust
ness and industries
1t was given out at the White House
that President Wilson had taken per

the Democratic members of the com

MEAT SUPPLY GROWS SHORT
For First Time In History Of Nation
imports of Animals Exceeded
Exports In 1912.

Washington. June 5.-The depart
ment of agriculture Issued bulletin
Tuesday warning the nation that the
supply OF meat In the United States
is getting shorter every year
In the year of 1912, for the first time
in the history of this country, the i'm
ports of animals and animal products
exceeded the exports. In 1907 the num-
Der of beef cattle in the United States
was 81, 566.000. while at the beginning
OF the present year it was only &c.
100000. The same statement was
made before Secretary Wilson went
out Of Office, one OF the reasons
ascribed being the preference of the
western ranchmen to grow crops in
stead of cattle.
A year ago the average price Of ma.
tive steers on the Chicago market was
s7.95. as against $3.50 in 1911.

JAPS- REPLY TO i. S.
REJolNpER TO 6RI.AN's NOTE
NOW IN THE HANDS OF
PRESIDENT.
IS NOT AN ULTlMATUM
Answer 10 Sent at Once to President
All Parties Agree to Keep the
Details From the General Pub
lie.

Washington. June G.. Japan's re
her protest against the California ant
alien land law. delivered personally
BY Ambassador Shinda To Secretary
Bryan Wednesday sets out why the
Tokyo government continues to re
gard the Webb law as discriminatory
againgt Japanese.
The American secretary and the
Japanese ambassador had an hour 4
secret and earnest discussion over the
document AT the conclusion Of this
talk Secretary Bryan dispatched the
document Immediately to the presi
dent.
Japan asserts unequivocally in her
reJohder that Japan occupies an abso-
lutely equal position among the first
class and leading nations OF the world
japan holds that. occupying such
position. the California alien land law
and the Arizona law constitute an
offense to the pride, dignity and honor
OF the Japanese.
The importance and Significance OF
the Japanese reply is emphasized by
the promptness by which II was hur-
rled by the secretary OF the state i'm
mediately TO President Wilson as soon
as he returned from his outing.
The answer OF the United States
to Japan asserted three things:
That the treaty of 1911 was not VIC
lated.
That the evident intention Of the
California alien land law was TO &C
commodate itself TO the treaty.
That Japan should exhaust all
remedies In. the courts before she
could complain Of any abridgement
of the rights OF Japanese in America
The answer further invited further
diplomatic discussion and takes issue
with all these contentious OF the state
department.
The answer indicates that the re-
ioinder Is not an ultimatum In the
technical sense of the term. although
1t presents a situation that can only
be changed by diplomacy. The Unit
ed States Is expected to either yield
or to offer some solution that has not
yet been suggested either by the
White House or the state department,

THREE CONVENTION
PLANS SUGGESTED
Changes in Basis of Representation at
Republican Gatherings to Be Con-
sidered BY Committee.

Three plans. each proposing a change
in the basis of representation in Repub
lican National Conventions, have been
prepared by the Republican Congress
siOnal Committee for consideration by
the Republican National Committee.
1t has been suggested that these plans
be given consideration at a special con-
ventiOn TO be called for the purpose. All
of them contemplate a reduction ia the
personnel of the convention. The first
plan, which would provide for 945 dele
gates, provides four delegates-at-large
for each of the States and. in addition,
one delegate for each 10000 votes or
major fraction of the vote cas-. for the
Republican candidate for President in
1903.
The second plan, which would create a
convention of 1,Gl6 members, authorizes
four delegates-at-large for each State,
and for each Congressional district one
delegate for each 10000 Republican votes
cast, provided that each district shall
have at least one delegate and two for
every COngressman-at-larse.
The third plan. which is the one likely
to be adopted. accords Every district at
least one delegate: allows one each 10
each district where the Republican vote
cast was not in excess of 40 per cent
two to each district in which the vote
ranged from 10 to 60 per cent, and three
to each district where the vote, was in
excess of 60 per cent
