Parties Question by Asking Reporter
What He Thinks.

By CHtted Press
WASHINGTON, July 1O.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, looking the picture
of health, answered with a smile
today a direct question as to his
health which brought into the open
rumors which have been circulated
sub-roSa.
One of the first questions shot at
Mr.. Roosevelt was one which
pointed out that some reports had
it that "he was in a little bad
health, and what about it?"
The President, in turn, directed a
question at his interrogation by ask
ing him what did he think about it.
Mr.. Roosevelt appeared to be in ro-
bust health. He was tanned as the
result of his recent weekend fishing
excursion and looked fit and ready
to tackle whatever problems might
arise.

Capt. Matt Leach, Indiana State
Police, has supplied Prosecutor
Herbert M. Spencer with informa-
ton indicating that when he made
the affidavit Cancilla had Buffalo

prisoner to pay IS and costs and
suspended a Jail sentence of so days
upon his promise to make restitu-
ton
After leaving the courtroom Reed
said he had not seen Cancilla for
some time. Reed said he had paid
Cancilla no fee.

That was the definite impression
I gained during a Commute talk
with II Duce in thc Venice palace.
MusSolini considers the proposed
invasion of rights lich Abyssinia
has for centuries regarded as SOW
ereign entirely justif79d by circum-
stances.
Cites Acts of U. S.
When I put to him the question
whether, should he cross the Abys-
sinian frontier, it would be consid-
cred a breach of international law
and an act of war, he looked me
Squarely in the eye and replied:
Invasion of sovereign rights has
been in progress for centuries. Where
is there a nation today which, dur
ing its history, has not invaded the
sovereign rights of others? Take
the United States. How did you
push your frontier back?
What about the invasion of SOW
ereign rights in your war of the
SeCeSSion?"
Interested in U. S. Opinion
He left do doubt in my mind that
Italy is out to annex by arms or
argument the entire Abyssinian
territory.
Mussolini was intensely interested
in American public opinion, and
especially inquired about our re-
action to the Abyssinian venture.
1 told him the United States, it
seemed to me, was unanimous in
upholding the principle that a ma
tons sovereign rights should be
maintained inviolate, the answer left
him unmoved and unperturbed.
I found Mussolini interested in all
subjects dealing with world
economics, and particularly in the
efforts of the United States to re-
cover from depression. He was also
eager to learn my impression of his
own country after my trip through
! it.
Duce in Flower of Health
1t was p. m, after he had re-
ceived half dozen ambassadors a
number of Senators and several
undersecretaries, that I met him,
yet he appeared fresh, tirefess, virile,
aflame with energy. When he
heard or advanced any new point,
his eyes flashed
Part of his audience was devoted
to interviewing the interviewer, for
he asked me continually about my
impression of italy. I congratulated
him on the orderly life of the
country, the cleanliness of the
streets, the efficient maintenance of
his automobile speedways, the eff
f1ciency of his public services.
In farewell, he said:
Continue your trip through Italy.
+ You will find the same efficiency
which you have already found in
the first part of your trip through
out the country"
