INSISTS ROOSEVELT
NOTE Is GENUINE
Mrs. Burkett Tells Why He
Signed With Prefix of
Colonel.

Mrs Emma r. Burkett. who was
brought from her home in Hillsdale,
Ind, Saturday to face the charge of
forging the name of the late Theodore
Roosevelt to a note for $4,000. was
questioned for two hours yesterday by
Assistant District Attorney Dooling. She
maintained throughout that the sigma
ture was genuine. Mrs Burkett will be
arraigned to-day and Mr.. Dooling is
ready to present her case for trial next
week.
Informed that Mr.. Roosevelt rarely
used the prefix Colonel although
the military title appeared on the note,
Mrs. Burkett told Mr.. Dooling the for
mer President added this to his sigma
ture at her request. She said her father
was military man, and II seemed Gus
tomary to her for officers to designate
their rank.
Mrs. Burl was requested to come
to an office" near the Dearborn street
station In Chicago on June II, 1912, ac-
cording to her story. and she met Roose-
welt there She did not remember In
whose office the meeting took place.
Beyond this reply she was unwilling to
discuss the circumstances of the alleged
meeting with reporters.
Mr.. Dooling says Mrs. Burkett served
a sixty days sentence in the spring of
1914 in Danville, ILL.,. on a. Federal con-
viction for fraudulent use OF the mails
ir connection with the promotion of
matrimonial bureau. She was also
charged, he said. with forging the name
of Stephen NJ Reddish to a note for
$500 in Champaign. ILL.,, on November
1, 1912, but was never tried. The note
was presented to the executor of his
estate. Mrs. Burkett is tall. heavy

are dry chose the Norris bill in prefer
ence to anti-beer. at the same time an
nouncing that their vote indicates no
change in their attitude on prohibition
Those who favored enactment of the
anti-beer bill ahead of the farm relief
legislation were Ashurst (Ariz), Bran
degee Comm, Cunlmins (Ia.), Fernald
(Me), Hale (Me). Kellogg (Minn.).
Reyes IN. HI. Knox (Pa.). McNary
(Ore.), Nelson (Minn.). New t1nd.) /,
Nicholson (Col.). Sheppard (Texas),
Sterling (S. d., Sutherland CIV. va).
Walsh (Mont) and Willis (ohio).
Senator Norris. an unyielding dry in
most instances, scoffed at the idea that
a few days delay in enactment OF a
law to prevent physicians from prescrib-
ing beer as medicine would do any dam
age.
Senator Willis. author of the Senate
bill, insisted that an emergency existed
which demanded immediate action by
Congress; that the question was not so
much one as to whether or not physi-
clan can prescribe glass of beer as
ii was a question of whether enforce
ment of prohibition by Congress Is to
be abandoned.
Debate or the Norris bill is bound to
be prolonged. partly because of oppo-
sition to 1t and partly because the longer
it Is debated the greater Will be the
delay in final enactment of the anti
