ROOSEVELT DIED WITH HANDS
CLEAN

Notwithstanding his many years in
public life and his acquaintance and
association with hundreds of wealthy
men, Colonel Roosevelt died COM
paratively poor man, leaving an es-
tate of about half million in trust
for his widow. The family silver and
a 100000 trust inherited from the
ColonePs father goes to the children.
Roosevelt was in no sense a money
getter. Most of his estate he inherit
ed. In his service to the public he
gave much more to his country than
he ever received in return notwith-
standing his public life must have
given him many legitimate opportuni-
ties for adding to his possessions. II
is a further testimony to his true
greatness that he died with hands alb
solutely clean.-Capper's Weekly.
The editor of Capper's Weekly has
most peculiar ideas as to what con-
stitutes a "poor man." Some other
people have peculiar ideas also
meaning those responsible for grant
ing Mrs. Roosevelt pension of $5,-
100000 per year. Most folks would
be satisfied with the returns on half
million dollars. America always was
a great country for looking after the
poor.

Some there are who SO refer to them

The senator told me all about 1t.
First of all, he repeated everything

that Colonel Hayward had said. then
he launched forth into the story of

Mr.. Wilson is a partner TODAY of

And suiting his action to his words

and OF compelling interest. Gen. John
Joseph Pershing has two best
friends. One of them is the senator
and the other is Charles L Magoon.
one-time governor of Cuba. formerly of
Lincoln and now of Washington.
These three men met when Jack Per-
shing was commandAnt of cadets at
the University of Nebraska.
Pershirg was a second lieutenant
with ambitions to be a general.
Burkett was student in the law
school with Pershing and had politi-
cal ambitions--aspiration to go to the
United States senate.
Magoon was a struggling young law

drilled three days each week, and stud

after him. But there was only one

the battalion began to amount to some
thing. The uniform was changed. The
cap was changed.

were constantly availed Of but after
his advent it became unhealthy to ask
to be excused from drill. Even mem

The senator paused a moment,
walked over to a picture hanging in his
office. 1t was a picture of the law

turned to me.

STOPPING THE BAND

"Pershing was a glutton for work.
He was a severe disciplinarian. But
he was always just.
Il recall a humorous incident. There
was a band indirectly under Pershing' S
command, but with civilian instructor
named Easterday. This unhappy
leader had to take talent as 1t came
to him. The band could play few
pieces-loudly and enthusiastically the
plain 'umpahs,' but when it came to
difficult passages of music most of the
bandsmen took their pieces out of their
mouths to blow them out, or found
some excuse for not playing.
One day we had grand review on
the campus at which the governor and
other dignitaries were present. The
battalion passed in review at quick
time. The band had countermarched

of the state of New York, inquiring into
my relations with the government l
have the honor to represent" the Mar
tens telegram read. Such treatment
is flagrantly at variance with the treat
ment accorded in my country to rep
resentatives of the United States who
were treated according to all rules of
international courtesy, although no Of
fetal relations existed between my
government and the United States.
Il principally object to and protest
against the fact that such investiga-
lions by those conducting them are be-
ing exploited in a manner not consist
ent with truth or decency. Newspa-
pers today carried glazing headlines
stating that l admitted to the investi-
gators that 1 am engaged in efforts to
overthrow the United States govern
ment and l am informed that the COM
mittee in charge of the investigation
has notified the state department to
this effect
81 have made no such admission and
could not have made such admission
in view of the simple fact that l am
not and my government is not in any
manner whatsoever interfering with the
affairs of the Tilted States government
and | protest against the indecent at
tempts by perversion of the truth to
create false impressions in this report"
If the state department should re-
quest Martens and other Russian radi-
Gals to leave the country, they will do
so voluntarily, it was announced to-
night by Santeri Nuorteva, spokesman
for the Russian soviet bureau here.
He added that 81 ships, now in Pet
rograd harbor, are ready to sail for
America to take home all Russians
who wish to return.

ROMAN CHARIOT
RACES To FEATURE
SAN DIEGO TRACK

Roman chariot racing, with real
chariots and race horses, will feature
the third day of the Trans Continental
Railway week celebration to be held in
San Diego DECEMBER l to December 6,
inclusive, in honor of the completion of
the San Diego & Arizona railway.
These races, with horses, four abreast,
will be part of the Stadium day pro-
gram of athletic events, the big mu-
nfcipal amphitheater where the sports
are to be held, being a greater coliseum
than ancient Rome had to offer.
Anita Baldwin, George Wingfield and
others of the best known western race
stock breeders are expected to enter
horses in the chariot events. The char
lots are to be obtained from the Pasa-
dena rose carnival directors. The
stadium is equipped with an iron rail-
ing which is regarded as a sure pro-
lection for spectators during the char
lot races. The stadium seats $4,000
people and will afford all an unob-
structed view of the course. This is
the stadium which was filled to ca
pacity when President Wilson spoke in
San Diego a few weeks ago.
Another unusual feature of the Stad-
ium day program will be race by the
owners of several old-fashioned high
wheel bicycles. such as were used 80
years ago, and a race for siX-year- old
tots on velocipedes.
