WASHINGTON, May 6.-"When
I promised to give America new
deal, I meant just that"
President Roosevelt today feels
that he has earned the right to pass
that judgment on his first two
months. Although indulging in no
extravagant promises, he is hope
full for steady improvement.
He realizes, along with everybody
else. that the great test is ahead
whether the reforms set in motion
so speedily will work Signs of bet
terment show in higher stock and
commodity prices, and widespread
spirit of confidence, but he knows
the real battle comes now.
Regardless of future trends. his
action. courage. and leadership are
reflected in what he has tried to do.
When he took office. banks every
where were closing; he had to shut
their doors completely Gold was
escaping to Europe and mattresses;
he had to embargo shipment and
demand its return under legal
penalty.
Few people had money to buy
necessities. though prices were so
low that manufacturers were going

Today he smiles-a smiling die

Today-amidst criticism and en-

binary power. And he smiles.
He has shown no fear Of using
his power. He has closed and
opened banks, taken the nation off
the gold standard, and prepared
for initiation. He has slashed ex-
penditures until the 1884 budget
may balance. He has brought back
beer.
He has sent an advance army Of
100000 men into the woods to give
them employment and take them
off the dole. He soon will have
power to force farmers to curtail
production under a system that may
bring ready cash and higher prices.
He has asked for and will re-
ceive legislation to reduce mortgage
costs on farm and urban property
He will soon inaugurate in the
Tennessee basin a great experiment
in the proper use CT natural re-
sources.
His advisers are preparing ST.
500 900 900 public works measure to
relieve unemployment. He wants
authority to regulate security Is
sues. and he favors banking law
that will underwrite the safety Of
the nations banking system.

Peggy was home again,
sleeping in her own bed in the
twenty = two room McMath
house at Harwichport, but the
mystery of her kidnapping
seemed as far from solution
as ever.
7 The girl was found with her
father and several other men aboard
a boat off Harwichport late Friday
McMath and his business asSo-
ciate, William Lee, as we'll as bank
ers and others concerned in the
ransoming of Peggy, were ques-
toned through the night after Peg
gy had told her story and had been
sent home with Mrs. McMath.
Ransom Is 100000
Needham told Peggy's story, an
nounced that the ransom had
amounted to 100000 in currency, and
made public some details of ne
gotiations for the childs return.
But beyond that he flatly declined
to go.
Later it was learned that the
child's grandparents in Detroit had
paid the ransom.
Needham told Peggys story and
the other details shortly before 4
a. M, and indicated then that he
and his men, as we'll as McMath
and all the other witnesses, would
stay at the coast guard station
through the night
He warned, however, that he
would allow no further statement to
be made, and would let no informa-
ton leak from the well-guarded sta
ton.
Among the witnesses under ex-
animation was Cyril Buck, Har-
wichport year-round resident who
served as intermediary between Nc
Math and the kidnapers.
Asked to Name Dog
AS Needham relayed the story,
BUCK was approached by an agent
of the kidnapers and asked to ar
range negotiation. Buck insisted on
proof that the girl was alive and
after consulting McMath asked that
she be requested to tell the name of
her pet dog, which had died.
The kidnaper's agent returned
with the name, Peter the Great"
written in Peggys handwriting,
Needham said.
That convinced the McMaths that
it was safe to negotiate, and ran
som payment was arranged, &C
cording to the story
But it was evident that police and
federal agents were wholly unsatis-
fed with the situation. McMath
was insisting upon maintaining a

TAKEN OFF
POOR RELIEF ROLL
April Cost Drops $4,000
From March Figures.

Decrease of 1 400 persons receiving
Center township poor relief was an
nounced today by Charles Clark,
county attorney. He said jobs
supplied through the city moderniza-
ton drive caused the decrease.
Relief costs in April for coal, seed,
fuel, and administration dropped
approximately 100000 from March
figures to $4,000, Clark said.
Families now are being taken off the
relief list at a rate of sixty a day,
he said.
Clark estimated that approximate
ly 500 more families will be released,
due to funds sent home from re-
foreStation camps. Poor relief costs
will be reduced further by the 1000
gardens being planted by relief
recipients, Clark said.

he sailed the seven seas, and eventually to cast his fortune with Seward. Here he remained, with the exception of one trip home, un- til death came.
 Up to three years ago he con- ducted a fish market but feeble health since then forbid him from engaging in heavy tasks and he passed the time away by writing and composing poems.
 His last known work was free translation of his philosophy:
 Life In Death
 Truth withal the problem set ties
 Death is sad reality.
 It is Ife's blank computation,
 Life is life and death is death" " Another thought of his was ex- pressed in these words:
 "The maze of illogical human sensations
 Stands against truth as noun tainous wall.
 Lovers of fearless inveStiga tion Slowly but surely make their impress"
 Funeral services and interment will be held in abeyance for a few days, announcement to be made at least a day in advance. Inter ment will be made in the Pioneers plot of the Seward Cemetery.
