Physician Informs Former
President Roosevelt He Has
Enlargement Of Spleen.
GIVES UP CAMPAIGN TRIP;
BUT WILL REMAIN ACTIVE
Trouble Is Result of Malarial Fever
Contracted in South Ameri-
can Jungles.

OYSTER BAY. n. Y, June 27-Four
months of absolute rest has been pre-
scribed for Col. Roosevelt by his physi-
clans, who informed him that he was
suffering from an enlargement of the
spleen and loss of vitality as re-
suit of the malarial fever he contracted
in the South American jungles.
But in four months the campaign
will be over" the colonel said today.
Consequently. he added, he considered
it an impossibility for him to follow
his physicians advice.
Abandons Campaign Trip.
Col Roosevelt has abandoned his
campaign trip across the continent,
which had been arranged tentatively
for September. He also telegraphed to
Pittsburgh that he would make only
one speech there Tuesday night Two
had been arranged.
The change in the ex-Presidents plans
came after an examination made last
night by DR.. Alexander Lambert of New
York Dr. Lambert came to Oyster Bay
and spent more than an hour in inspect
ing his patient. Then he told him that
he must rest for four months. He urged
the colonel to give up his trip to Pitts
burgh. to make no speeches during the
campaign and. as far as possible, to give
up everything that would tax his
strength.
Might Impair Mental Vigor.
Dr. Lambert explained, the colonel
said. that 1t would require long period
to shake off the effects of the malaria.
and that if this were not accomplished
the disease might become so securely
fastened upon him that he would never
recover his full strength. 1t might even
impair his mental vigor, the physician
said
Col Roosevelt declined to heed the
warning. He said it would be an impos-
sibility for him to give up his campaign
work.
81 think DIR. Lambert took a gloomy
view" Col. Roosevelt laughingly said.
But 1 shall take care Of myself as well
as / can. and I'll see that the malaria
does not get settled In my system.''
Upon his return from Pittsburgh Col.
Roosevelt is to see throat specialist.
He hopes that that doctor will take
more optimistic view Of his condition
than did DR.. Lambert. But whatever
the physicians say of the possible con-
sequences, he is determined. he said to
go on with the campaign in limited
way.

Hoke Smith Would Place Dis
trict Residents in Two
Local Offices.
SENATOR WILL PUSH
ACTION ON MEASURE
Opposes Selection Of Recorder OF
Deeds and Register of Wills
From Outside.

A bill to take the offices of recorder OF
deeds and register of wills in the District
of Columbia out of the list of Polltlcai
plums'' doled out by each new adminlstra-
ton as rewards for party service IN
places far removed from the Dlstriet
was introduced in the Senate today by
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia.
The bill provides that the register OF
wills ard recorder of deeds shall De
placed under the supervision of the DIS
trict Commissioners. to whom they must
report annually, and makes ineligible FOR
appointment to these offices any persons
who have not been bona fide residents OF
the District for three years prior to their
appointment.
The introduction of the bill comes at
q time when the office of recorder OF
deeds is about to be filled by PRESIDENT
Wilson, the present recorder. Henry
Lincoln johnson, having sent in his
resignation, to take effect July l. Al
ready several senators and represent
atives have called at the White House
in the interest of candidates in their
states and districts.
Purely Local Positions.
Senator Hoke Smith declared today
that the office of recorder of deeds and
of register of wills in the District were
purely local, and that they should be
filled by residents of the District.
The business done by these offices.
said Senator Smith. is for the residents
OF the District. There is every reason
why both the recorder and the register
should be selected from bona fide resi-
dents, and that they should not be poll
ticians brought here to be rewarded for
party support in other localities.
Il believe, too. that offices of the
Importance of the recorder of deeds and
register of wills should report to some
one. and that there should be proper
publicity.
IT intend to do all in my power to get
action on this bill as quickly as possible,
said Senator Smith.

corder Of deeds in the District of Column

Differ Regarding His Right to
Hold Office Pending De-
cision on Appeal.
JUSTICE MAY "STAY"
EXECUTION OF CUSTER
Right of Commissioner to Appeal to
Supreme Court of United States
Is Generally Denied.

May Oliver P. Newman remain in the
office of District Commissioner and
lawfully exercise it's functions while
he is prosecuting his appeal from an
custer judgment should yesterday s
verdict ripen into judgment?
Lawyers are not in accord on the
question of the right to supersede an
custer Judgment. That Mr.. Newman
may prosecute an appeal there seems
to be no doubt, since the code pro-
vides that every final order or judg-
ment of the District Supreme Court
may be reviewed in the Court of APP
peals.
Granted the right of appeal, some at
torneys suggest that Mr.. Newman may
also prevent his expulsion from office
by giving an additional bond, called a
supersedeas. which operates to suspend
action on the judgment of the lower
court pending the decision of the APP
pellate tribunal. Other lawyers are of
opinion that an custer judgment may
not be superseded since the damage to
be provided against would be in
calculable.
They declare that Mr.. Newman would
have to prosecute his appear from the
outside: that Is. that he must surrender
the Office Immediately on the render
ing of an custer judgment and look to a
reversal by the Court of Appeals for res
toration to Office.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-06-27
No Additional Bond Necessary.


ton, it would not be necessary for Mr..
Newman to give an additional bond be-
You'd the ordinary cost bond of 500 re-
quired on every application for an ap-
peal.
In the event of an appeal by Mr.. New
man, a decision by the District Court of
Appeals would in all probability be rem
dered before the expiration of the year
1914. Appeals from extraordinary writs
are preferred in the Appellate Court and
placed on its special calendar, which takes
precedence for hearing.
Should the action of that tribunal be
adverse to the interest of Mr.. Newman,
and writ of review be granted by the
Supreme Court of the United States, the
case would most likely be advanced on
the docket of that tribunal and its hear
spring and long before the expiration of
the term of Mr.. Newman as District
Commissioner.
Newman Is to Fight.
Commissioner Newman today declined
to comment at length on the outcome
of the custer proceedings against him,
which terminated yesterday when the
jury in Justice Goulds court held that
he was "usurper' and not entitled to
hold the Office he now occupies.
You may quote me as quoting the
words Of John Paul Jones'" said the
Commissioner today-'We have just be-
gun to fight The fight will not be
ended until a court of last resort has
finally passed on the question In dis
pute. Pending a final disposition of the
case 1 shall. as 1 stated yesterday. con-
tinue to hold the office to which l was
nominated by the President and in which
was confirmed by, the Senate, and
shall continue to discharge the duties
and exercise the functions of Commits
sioner of the District of Columbia"
Attorney Ralston. Commissioner New
mans chief counsel, Is to leave in few
days for a vacation in Europe. MI
Ralston has been in poor health for some
time, it was stated today, and it was
only at the cost of great personal incon-
venience and suffering that he remained
in Washington until the end of the trial
before Justice Gould. He is expected to
return to Washington in time to handle
Commissioner Newman's case before the
District Court of Appeals some time dur
ing the autumn, as it Is not expected the
case will get before the court at least
until some time in October.
During his brief stay at his office this
morning Commissioner Newman declined
himself to callers, and Immediately fol.
lowing his brief and succiict statement
to the reporters he left the city, to be
away over Sunday. His destination was
not made known, it was stated, even to
his personal secretary.
