WOMAN INSISTS SHE
FINANCED CAMPAIGN
Maintains She Loaned $4,000 to
Roosevelt and Has His Note

Hillsdale, Ind, June 23.-Mrs. En-
ma Richardson Burkett, who has filed
a claim for $4,000 against the estate
of Theodore Roosevelt to obtain pay
ment on note she said was endorsed
by the former president, today relat-
ed a story of an estate inherited and
loaned out during the republican ma
tional convention in June, 1919.
The note bearing Col. Roosevelt's
Endorsement and the will by which
she came into possession of the
money are in the Chemical National
bank in New York, She says
Denies Forgery Claim.
Her story came after she had, been
told that attorneys for the Roosevelt
estate characterized the colonel's in
dorsement as a forgery. Mrs. Burk-
EFT says she resided at Danvil1e, ILL.,.
when the loan was made. An uncle,
Henry Richardson, a miner, had left
a will providing that she should take
charge of his money, $50, 900 and turn
over the interest to Mary Kenney, his
daughter.
Mrs. Burkett said she received word
from a friend that an investment for
that she was taken to an office in Chi
cago where she met Col. Roosevelt
and Charles J. Shunson. There, she
said, Shunson signed the note and the
colonel Endorsed it.
Shunson, she AYERS paid her the
interest on the loan until 1917, when
he went to France.
May Sec Mrs. LOngworth.
She also declared that she expect
ed soon to receive a message to go
to Cincinnati to see Mrs Alice Long
worth, the former presidents daugh-
ter, but would not reveal the purpose
of the contemplated trip.
I've offered to compromise she
said. AT first 1 wanted the principal
and the interest for four years, but
now / merely want my money back.
Mrs. Burkett was sure that she
had not been duped by a confidence
man posing the former president
Il knew Col Roosevelt too we'll for
them to fool me-" she said. Il had
heard him speak and had shaken
hands with him a half dozen times"
She said that Shunson had not been
heard from since he wenA to France.

GAS PUMPS MAY BE
ORDERED OFF Street
City Engineer Williams Says He
Sees No Alternative

Gasoline pumps on the sidewalks
will have to go. While this is not an
official decision, it is generally con-
coded that there is no other way out
of the difficulty. There does not seem
to be any doubt that the placing of
such tanks on curbs and sidewalks is
a violation of city ordinance.
The present controversy began
when members of the Swedish
Bethany church, on Franklin square,
objected to the installation of a
pump between the sidewalk and the
gutter of an adjoining property, as
result of this objection the question
of the LEGALITY of placing the pump
there was brought up. Penring a de-
cision work has been stopped.
City Engineer j. D. Williams, when
seen this morning, said ahat he did
not see any way out of the difficulty
except to take out the pumps. I'VE
have no legal right to grant permits
sion to operate these pumps on the
street." said Engineer Williams. "a
mum Der of pumps" he continued,
were put in under legal permits
which are revocable. No permits have
been issued recently. We are getting
more and more into the difficulty and
in my estimation there are only two
The first solution would be to order
them all out. The second would be to
grant permits promiscuously. AS we
cannot grant permits legally, the only
thing to do is to order them out"
Fire Chief w. j. Noble will meet
with the board of public works when
this subject will be discussed.
When asked if he thought the city
would order the pumps removed at
once, Mr.. Williams. said he felt quite
sure that reasonable time, six
months or even a year would be
granted owners of pumps now in
stalled to find new locations
