Great deal Of advantage from

the enviable distinction Of
often being selected first hand

We are ready now and always
to stand or fall by a just and

LECTURE BILL
American Returning From Rio
Janeiro Says He Was Present
When Incident Occurred.

NEW YORK, March 13.--John P.
Lenfestey, of Chicago, who recently
gave out a statement in London that
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, after re-
ceiving the Inequalities of the Bra
lillian Government in Rio de Janeiro,
presented a bill for $4,000 to the His
torical Society of Rio de Janeiro for
short speech before the society, ar
rived here to-day and reiterated his
statement.
Every word of it is true" said
Lenfestey Roosevelt put the Brazil
ian authorities to an expense of at
least $4,000 for his entertainment,
and then turned around and charged
his host $4,000 for a speech that last
ed but few minutes"
While Lenfestey was talking with
ship news reporters, Drury Albert Nc
Millen, of st. Louis, who said he is
press agent for the Brazilian Trac-
ton Company, came along, and Len
festey called on McMillen to confirm
his allegations.
81 was present when Colonel Roose-
welt rendered his BILL" said McMillen.
Everything Mr.. Lenfestey has said is
absolutely true. Roosevelt lectured
before the Historical Society in Rio
de Janeiro, and at the conclusion of
the lecture presented the bill, which
was paid"
Lenfestey added that he held no
enmlty toward Colonel Roosevelt, but
he felt that his action greatly dam
aged the chances of a closer under
standing between the United States
and the Southern republics.

In the days when Babylon alone

Ringing Brothers, he was used to

His method of examination, such as
swaying from side to side and trying
out the stability OF 'planking with his

engineer. Babylon Is still active as
