ROOSEVELT CASE ENDED
CLOSE CAME AT CONCLUSION OF
 PLAINTIFFS EVIDENCE.
Editor Newett Retracts and Apolo- sizes, After Which Court
 lnstructs Jury.

Marquette, Mich, June 3.-Col. Roosevelt's libel suit against Editor Newett for $10,000 damages ended abruptly. When the plaintiffs evi- dence had been presented, Newett took the stand.
 After telling the court he believed the editorial which he had published, charging that the colonel gets drunk, and not infrequently, and that all his intimates know it. was untrue; that he was unable to substantiate the charge with direct testimony: that he believed at the time of publication the matter was authentic; that he was ac- tuated by his duty as publisher. and not by malice, in printing the libel he entered full retraction and apology, and asked the court to instruct the jury to find verdict for nominal damages in favor of the plaintiff
 Roosevelt addressed the court, say ing he did not enter the case for money, but for vindication. and for the purpose of silencing his traducers, and acquiesced in the publishers re quest.
 Judge Flannigan then took occasion to explain the application of the Mich. igan statutes to the offense. He also declared the colonel had demonstrat d to his satisfaction the falsity of the charge, and that the plaintiff was en- titled to vindication from the jury.
 The jury returned verdict of n0m- inal damages. cents, without costs, and the famous libel case passed into history.

LIVESTOCK, WHEAT AND OATS PUT ON FREE LIST AFTER
 A CONFERENCE.
DEBATE MAY OPEN JUNE IS

 Vided in House.

Washington, June 5.-President Wilson insists that the Underwood tariff bill make adequate provision for a full market basket. He let it be understood that he wanted the raw materials carried in the agricul- tural schedule placed on the same footing as the finished products, cat. tie and wheat in the same category as meats and flour.
 After Senator Simmons confer ence on these articles with the pres ident and his report to the senate subcommittee having them in charge Williams, Shively and Gore-the subcommittee reversed it's former ac- ton in voting to place wheat four, oatmeal and fresh meats on the du- tiable list. and voted to place live stock, wheat and oats on the free list,
 As the president is still standing uncompromisingly for the wool and sugar schedules, so, it is declared, he will stand firmly for free cattle, sheep and hogs and free wheat and oats. now that this has been determined upon as the party policy.
 It is freely predicted that all the subcommittees will complete their preliminary work by the end of this week The Underwood bill will thus come before the Democratic mem- bers of the finance committee early next week for approval and finishing touches
 The opinion is expressed by Chair man Simmons that the Democrats will conclude their discussion of the tariff measure in caucus by June IA. This would make possible the begin ming of the debate not later than June 16. It is intended that at least eight hours a day shall be devoted to discussion. Night sessions will be added when the time for applying pressure comes.
 Members of the finance committee said that the average ad valorem rate of the bill as perfected by the finance committee would be materially below the average carried in the bill as it left the house

Thus, three male observers were able

ECONOMY In THE HOME
HOUSEWIFE MUST APPROACH
IDEA WITH COMMON SENSE.
Many Methods of Avoiding Waste
Really Are More Costly Than the
Ways They SuppIant-Saving
Must Be Worth While.

There is a great deal OF talk about
the waste which constantly occurs in
the household. Housewives, some
critics assert, do lot understand the
fundamental principles of economy.
Waste which would never be toler-
ated in the running OF q big business
goes on in the homes OF the land
every day.
In big rubber factory a little while
ago there was a chemist who thought
that he could obtain sulphur, which is
needed in the manufacturing carried
on in this plant, from old rubber. The
sulphur used cost a few cents a
pouad. The chemist finally perfected
a method of extracting sulphur from
the old rubber, and he submitted his
method to the factory heads.
1t was perfect method. The sui
phur was perfect sulphur. But the
method necessitated the expenditure
of a couple of dollars for every pound
Of sulphur saved. And the factory
heads, remembering that sulphur cost
only few cents a pound, refused to
consider the young mans plan.
It is just this sort Of wasteful econ
omy which goes on in some house
holds-and which should be con-
demned much more energetically than
the actual waste that occurs.
Z certain housewife heard that
dried potato parings made excellent
kindling for fires, and she spent an
appreciate amount of time each day
rescuing the skins from oblivion and
spreading them out so that they
could dry properly.
The woman who knows how to dis
tinguish between real wastefulness
and expenditures for legitimate needs
is the really good housewife
