SAY ROOSEVELT
NAME FORGERY
New York Police Ask Arrest of Emma
Burkett in Loan Note
Case.

NEW YORK, July 13-Inspector
Coughlin, head of the detective bureau,
yesterday sent telegram to the police
of IIillsdale, Ind, requesting the arrest
of Mrs. Emma Richardson Burkett at her
home there on a charge of forging the
name of the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt
as an Endorsement on promisory note
for SG9. 800 which the woman declared
She loaned to one Charles ]. Shunson, in
the presence of Col. Roosevelt at the iiun
Moose convention in Chicago on June u g.,
1912
The request for the arrest of the wom-
and followed an investigation made BY
John L. Dooling, assistant district at
torney, at the behest of Mrs Theodore
Roosevelt, widow of the former PreSi-
dent, and George Emlen Roosevelt. a
cousin.
Mr.. Dooling said that relatives. bank
erS and handwriting experts familiar
with Col. Roosevelt's handwriting had
declared that the alleged Endorsement was
a forgery. Immediate members of Mr..
roosevelt family also pointed out, Mr..
Dooling said, that the signature was pre-
ceded by the title Col" which Mr.. RooS-
evelt never was known to use in signing
any personal official or business docu-
ments.
More than that. the assistant district
attorney asserted members of Mr.. RooSe-
velt's family had declared they were
with him the entire period of his stay i'm
Chicago during the Bull Nose convention
in the summer of 1872 and were certain
that during that time he did not sign
a document of any kind. The investiga-
tion also revealed. Mr.. Dooling said. that
for IS continuous hours of the time Mr..
Roosevelt was in Chicago he was without
any sleep, and during all of that period
of his family were at his side.
Mr.. Dooling said the investigation al
so revealed that there never was any such
person as Charles j. Shunson known to
relatives or friends of Col. Roosevelt.

THREE PRINCIPAL
' NATIONS ACCEPT
British Government Expects Most Prom
inent Statesmen Will Attend Dis
armament Conference.

LONDON. July 13.-Three Of the prin.
cipal allied nations-Great Britain
France and Italy-have officially signi-
fed their acceptance of President Hard
ing's invitation to hold conference on
limitation of armament, while China has
indicated her readiness to participate in
conference relative to far-eastern ques-
tons. Japan is the only one of the allies
which has not placed herself ON record
as being ready to take part in the Wash
ington conference, but it is expected in
official circles here that her acceptance
will be communicated to the United States
government soon.
In government circles in this city it
appears to be the consensus of opinion
that the meeting at Washington will be
by some of the most prominent
statesmen of the world.

BE at BOulogne or Paris.

PARIS, July 13 ASSOCIATED Press)-
The allied supreme council will probably
meet toward the end of this month"; either
in Boulogne or in Paris. according to an
announcement by the French foreign of
fee.
The Upper Silesian question will be
uppermost in the discussions, and it is
expected that Great Britain may bring
up the question of the evacuation of Dus-
seldorf, Duisburg and Ruhrort, as a rec
ognition of the disposition of the pres
ent German government to carry out the
terms of the Versailles treaty.
The inter-allied Silesian commission
has presented a new report to the coun-
ell to the effect that it is impossible to
settle the question on the spot. The
council may take the matter from the
hands of the commission and either set
tie it at the forthcoming session or refer
it to a new mission of experts, as was
proposed by Premier BRAND a few weeks
ago

After 10 Weeks
Abroad
CONDITIONS BETTER
THAN HE EXPECTED
Common People of Germany Blame Their
Own Diplomats Rather Than Ameri-
can People for This Country's Par

Charles Voetsch, proprietor of the
Home bakery on South main street re-
turned to Brattleboro this morning from
a three-months' tour of Europe, where he
studied the after-war conditions.
Mr.. Voetsch sailed from New York
April p on the French liner La Touraine,
landing at Hayre, France. From there
he went to Paris which appeared to him
to be as gay as it was before the war
He next visited the battlefield of the
first battle of the Marne, going thence
TO the great American cemetery at Bel
leau Wood. He reports that this Gene
terry IS beautifully kept up, and that
guide always IS there to aid in finding
any particular soldiers grave. From
there he journeyed through the battle
held of Chateau Thierry as far as
hhelms. There the war destruction was
very evident, and practically no rebuild
ing had been started. Previous to the
war Rhelms was a city of $4,000 and in
that city today only about 10 houses re-
main intact and most of the houses and
buildings are entirely demolished.
From there Mr. Voetsch went through
StrassbOurg to Berlin. He said that war
material was piled on every side. In
Germany business seemed to be as brisk
as before the war. and Mr.. VoetSch was

pre-war amusement places were open

Noetsch noticed no hostile feeling to-
wards Americans, in fact the German
people did not blame the Americans for
entering the war, but rather the German
diplomats for getting America in.
Mr.. NOetsch found prices lower than
he expected. He got an excellent room
with meals for 20 cents day, although
IN France the same kind of fare cost
81 so.
From Berlin he went into Switzer-
land. through the st. GoethaIs tunnel
in the Lucerne lake region. He describes
the scenery as simply magnificent From

As a general thing he found the chill

he found business and living conditions
better than he had imagined, or even
believed possible.
Mr.. Voetsch sailed. on his return, from
Antwerp June 30 and landed in New
York July 10. He says the first-hand in
formation he secured paid him a dozen
times over for his trip.

DEDHAM, Mass, July 13.-The jurors
in the trial of Nicola Sacco and Bartolo-
meo Vanzetti were asked in closing argu-
ments by defense's counsel today to dis
miss from their minds all reference to the
defendants as foreigners and radicals.
Fred Moore of Los Angeles, counsel for
Sacco, said the question at issue was one
of Identification only. He asked the jury
not to condemn the defendants as an
archists or as representing any craft,
and further requested that there be
drawn a line between the radical thinker
and that type of anarchist who would
drag into the mire his friends and COM
patriots.
Moore attacked the credibility of the
state witnesses who identified SaccO and
said the ancestry of some of the state
evidence was subject to considerable
question. The defense asserted that the
defendant lied at the time of arrest. he
said, but held that it was because they
were conscious of guilt of evading the
draft and because they were on an ex-
closed by asking the jury to find the
defendant innocent or guilty of murder
in the first degree.
