PEACEFUL TEDDY In
ROUGH Rider SUIT
Tells Of His Love For Peace
Between Nations

Oyster Bay, N. Y, May 1O.-Thedore
Roosevelt would have the United
States and Great Britain agree in adj
vance" to arbitrate any question which
might arise between them. So he told
the International Conferees who are
arranging the centenary celebration OF
peace among English speaking people
in addressing them as their host today
at a luncheon at his home on Sycamore
Hill. Newspaper men were not admit
ted to the function, but a summary OF
his remarks, approved by Mr.. Roose-
Welt was made public.
Although it was SAND that he did not
specifically mention the Panama canal
dispute, members of the foreign dele
cation said he Enthusiastically referred
to that question as one which should
be settled by arbitration, if settlement
could not be reached by negotiation.
II am not myself one who readily
makes promise, but once made |
think it should be kept" he was quot
ed by H, F. Ferris, secretary of the
British delegation, as saying in appar-
ent reference to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, which was signed during Col.
Roosevelt's administration.
Speaking of the extent to which he
would accept arbitration methods in
international disputes" read the sum-
mary, MIR. Roosevelt said that he was
perhaps somewhat of a hereto in the
eyes of his friend, Mr.. Carnegie (who
sat on his right as there were certain
ly some subjects which under certain
conditions he would never consent TO
submit to arbitration; but he would as
sure him of this-that so far as the
British Empire and the American Re.
public were concerned he was prepared
to agree in advance to the settlement
of any question that might arise either
by mutual agreement, by arbitration Or
any other method that would not pro-
duce friction. War between these two
countries was and must be inconceiv-
able.
Mr.. Roosevelt gave first the toast to
the King of England and Emperor of
the British Empire and the toast Of
Peace, with justice and righteousness,
between the nations and within the
borders of each nation'-a toast most
heartily drunk by all present"

CASHIER ARRESTED, BUT
RELEASED UNDER BOND
$4,000 Assessed on ]. H.
Carson Raised at MOultFie

Moultrie, Ca, May 10. H. Carson,
former cashier of the Bank of Crosland
and self-confessed embezzler of over
$1,000 of the banks funds, was placed
under arrest at Grassland this morning
and was brought to this city where he
was released after getting the $4,000
bond assessed by Judge Howell, signed
1t has developed that Carson was
under no bond at the time of his defal-
cation When he was first made cash
Ter of the bank he had bond signed,
but this bond lapsed about two years
ago. Several months ago President
Clark of the Bank of Crosland, asked
Carson about the bond and he stated
that he had it renewed and that it was
now in the vault.
Mr.. Clark stated that in view of his
implicit confidence in Carson he didn't
examine the surety. The depositors
whose money is now tied up in the
bank are protesting against the neglect
of Mr. Clark and are stating that If
Carson were under bond they would
be paid the amount of their deposits at
once
1t has developed within the last few
days that Carson not only embezzled
the banks funds, but had several of the
stockholders of the institution, as well
as other business men of Crosland, to
endorse his notes at other banks for
large sums, and that the amount OBJ
tanned in this manner would aggregate
several thousand dollars.
Carson was thought to be a man q
model character and was prominent in
church affairs, and the latest develop
ments in his case have stunned the lit
tie community. At the time of his con,
fession some days ago he told pathet-
ic story to the officers of the bank and
stated that sickness came into his fam
lily and that three of his children died
and that the expense incurred in this
manner caused him to take the banks
funds.
This was believed at first but it is
now argued that he could have easily
paid all of the expenses brought about
iii this manner by using the money Sc
cured on the notes and that in addition
to this the people of Grassland at the
time of his misfortune raised a large
sum and gave it to him. Carson stated
that he had used the money for living
expenses, but there is now an unsub-
Stimulated rumor he bought property 10
Florida.
In spite of all this some of the di-
rectors of the bank are now loath u
prosecute the cashier.

and dressed the wound.
At late hour tonight McCrannio
was still alive. though it was said that
there was little chance for him to live,

Governor Files Answer to
Articles of Impeach-
ment.
MONEY RULING HELD UP
Court WithhoIds Decision on
Speculation Items Until After
Hearing Testimony.

Albany, n. Y, Sept. 24.-The crucial
point in the preliminary work of the
Sulzer Impeachment trial was reached
today. The whole future of the pros
ecution depended on the decision of
the court on the objection of the de-
Tense to permitting the articles of i'm
peachment relating to the governors
money deals to enter into the testi-
mony.
Attorney Fox, resuming the argu-
ment for Sulzer, attacked as unsound
the argument of Judge Parker that
the constitution permitted impeach-
ment any time for any cause. He
said the attempt to remove Sulzer
for acts while a private citizen was
novel, never in any court and never
had been submitted to any English
speaking people. If the views Of the
impeachment managers was correct,
he said, all question of constitutional
limitation would be useless.
Attorney E. L. Richards, opening for
the prosecution, said it would prove
Sulzer guilty of fraud, larceny and per-
jury, and of using campaign con-
tributions for speculation in stocks.
Secretary of State Mitchell may be
called this afternoon as the first wit
ness.
The decision Of the court on the
money articles of impeachment will
not be made till after all the testi-
mony is in. This was decided by
tho court today by vote of 49 to Z.
-Ehoss>zotiRg were all democrats.

filed today, makes a general denial to
each of the eight articles,

RULING ON THAW
HELD up A WEEK
New Hampshire Governor Or
ders More Briefs to Deter
mine Extradition.

Concord, N. H. Sept. 24.-The duty
of the state of New Hampshire to-
ward Harry Kendall Thaw was the
subject of exhaustive argument before
Governor Felker yesterday afternoon.
The legal battle in which William
Travers Jerome, special deputy attor-
ney general of New York state, which
SEEKS to obtain the extradition of
Thaw as fugitive from justice, was
pitted against three of the fugitives
array of counsel, was dramatic at
times and near the close came dan
gerously near to being personal.
To the charge that he had resorted
to subterfuge and was moved by ul-
terror motives in his determination to
return Thaw to the Matteawan insane
asylum, Jerome retorted with unusual
feeling that the state of New York
would not permit its justice to be de-
feated by the corrupt use of Thaw
money.
Jerome went further and gave his
word that Thaw would be placed on
trial if returned to New York state.
At the conclusion OF the arguments
the governor gave counsel until Mon
day to file supplementary briefs, so
his decision will not be known for a
week at least.
Seated beside the governor in the
senate chamber of the capitol, where
the hearing was held, was Attorney
General Tuttle, by whose opinion the
executive has said he will be guided.
During JeySme's arguments new
angles in the celebrated case develop.
ed. One that appeared to take the
opposing counsel by surprise was his
statement that Thaw is now under in.
dictment in Dutchess county, charged
with conspiracy to escape from the in
sane asylum.
Former Judge William NJ. Chase OF
| New Hampshire and Former Governor
William Stone of Pennsylvania, plead
ing for Thaw, had emphasized the
common belief that no bill had been
found against their client and that &C
cordingly there was no evidence before
the governor that New York intended
to place him on trial.
