HAD 100000 FUND
is ADMITTED BY ROOSEVELT ON
THE WITNESS STAND.
Ex-President Protested AstOniShment
When Shown Evidence That Stand
ard Oil Contributed Heavily.

SYRACUSE, N Theodore
Roosevelt told on the second day Of
his cross-e examination in William
Barnes suit for $4,000 libel about
his dealings with the "bosses," his
personal relations with Barnes and
his ideas about campaign funds of
millions of dollars. He swore he
never had seen a list of the names
of the persons who helped swell the
100000 fund used in his own
campaign for the presidency.
The list contained initials of men
whom the colonel readily identified
as being allied with the cOuntry's
most powerful business and financial
interests.
In speaking of the Ryan contribu-
tion the witness gave it as his Opin-
ion that a leader of big business who
contributes a half million dollars to
help elect a candidate for president
of the United States is prompted by
the same spirit which would cause
him to donate a similar sum to a
church, and that such a contributor
has no more hope of reward in one
case than he has in the other. Per-
sonally, he said, he would have been
very much surprised if money mas
tiers of big business had not contrib
uted to the republican campaign of
1904

In Serbia Many Are Living on Potato
PeeIs and Garbage From the
Camps of the Armies.

Vi tlAC al
LONDON.-S million Poles,
of whom two million are Jews, are
in dire need of food, according to a
statement today by Herman Landau,
a prominent Jewish philanthropist
associated with Jewish charities
here.
"The Jews are even poorer than
the Gentiles, Mr.. Landau says, "be-
cause of the boycott against the
Jews in rarts of Poland before the
beginning of the war.
I'm parts of Poland evacuated by
the Germans many Jews are living
on potato peels and garbage left by
the army. The Catholic population
has been able to. fee beyond Warsaw
in much larger numbers than the
Jews.
Several hundred refugees from
Poland made their way to London.
They brought terrible stories of the
sufferings of Poles in the ruined cit
les and devastated country.
''Where relief is provided for the
Poles the daily allowance to each per-
son is only four cents, which is
barely enough to keep the people
alive in country where prices are
high It is difficult to obtain food at
any price.
"The Russian government has been
cOnsiderate in it's treatment OF Jews
in the portions of Poland occupied
by Russian troops, but the Jews are
suffering greatly from persecution in
the portion of Galicia which Aus

The cross-examination again today
revolved about political activities at
Albany while Mr.. Roosevelt was gov
ernor. The witness was questioned
closely about his relations to certain
measures before the state legislature
at that time and to certain legisla-
tors.
Many letters that passed between
Mr.. Barnes and Mr.. Roosevelt were
identified and read to the jury. In
these letters the pair discussed polit-
ical and Legislative matters and APP
pointments to some state office.

Jury TO DETERMINE
SANITY OF H. THAW
Supreme Court Judge Grants Appli-
cation ON Ground That He Is
Not q Criminal.

NEW YORK.-The question of the
sanity of Harry K. Thaw will be de-
termined by a jury.
Supreme Court Justice Hendrick,
in a decision today, granted the APP
plication for a trial made by Thaw's
attorneys on a writ of habeas corpus.
1T is evident" Justice Hendrick
held, that in this state there is am
pie precedent for the impaneling of a
jury to aid in trying the issues of the
fact raised upon the traverse to the
return in a habeas corpus proceed
ing.
Not Held as a Criminal.
ut should be borne in mind that
Thaw is not confined as a criminal.
He has been acquitted of the crime
with which he was charged, and there
can be no punishment for one who
has been acquitted. He is confined
in a state hospital for the insane as
a precaution for the public. The
commitment can last only so long as
he is insane, and he has the right at
any time, under the law, to have his
sanity determined upon by habeas
corpus.

ELECTION TO BE HELD SEPT. II

The election on prohibition will be
neld on Sept. a. The attempt on the
part of the opponents Of prohibition
TO get an injunction against the hold
ing. of the election failed. The su-
preme court has settled that matter,
and. let 1t be said, it was unanimous
on the part of the supreme court.
The friends of prohibition did not
doubt the outcome: but the effort to
get the injunction against holding the
election caused some confusion. One
man, some days ago, said to the
writer: "The election will never be
held But he was mistaken. Let
prohibitioniSts everywhere be inform
ed upon the matter. 1t IS already
settled that the election is to b" held.

God keeps me throuhg the morning,
He keeps me through the day.
And when daylight fades into nigh
He rolls my cares away.
God gives me food and clothing;
He gives me water to drink;
He gives me good surroundings
And a mind to think.
God gives me countless blessings;
He. cares for me through life;
He'll bring me out triumphant
In any mortal strife.
God wants me to be faithful;
He wants me to be true,
And what He puts before me,
I'll try cgy best to Go.

there so j. T. Dress, county attorney
of Carroll county yesterday inform
ed John Fletcher, assistant attorney
general, in conversation over long
distance telephone.
Dress says he has investigated the
matter and has been informed that
the Manning saloon operator has al
ready made arrangements to move
his business to Nebraska. The city
councilmen say they extended the IL
cense to the saloon man in order to
protect his rights in Manning, il
anything should happen later on
which would allow the saloons to be
reopened
at is not the intention of test
ing the repeal law in Manning" said

place as can be found in the state
and the officers will see the repeal
law is enforced on Jan. l."
1t is reported from Davenport that
one of the state agents working un-
der Attorney General Cosson has ar
rived there to begin preparatory
work to enforce the mulct repeal law

men of that place have sent the tenn

eide to test the prohibitory law, it
will be done openly, by the opening
