NOT FOR HOPE OF REWARD
/
Prompted By Seme Spirit That Would
Cause Him to Donate Similar
Sum to a Church
Syracuse, N. Y.?Theodore Roose
velt told on his cross-examination
In William Barnes' suit tor $50,000 al
leged libel, about his dealings with
the '''bosses" his personal relations
with Burnes and his Ideas about cam
paign funds In millions of dollars. He
mentioned the famous half million
dollars which Thomas Fortune Ryan
contributed ts the presidential cause
of Alton B. Parker and swore he never
""Hid seen a list1 of the names of the
persons who helped swell the $3,000,
000 fund used In his own campaign for
the prealdency.
The list contained lnltals of men
whom the Solonel readily Identified
as being aHled with the county's
most powerful business and financial
interests.
In speaking of the Ryan contribu- i
tlon the witness gave It at bis opinion i
that a leader of big business who con
tributes half million'dollars to help i
elect a candidate for President of the j
United States Is prompted by the same i
spirit which would cause htm to do- ;
nate a similar sum to a Church, and |
that such a contributed has no more i
hope of reward In one case than he
has in tha other. Personality, be said, i
he would have been very much sur
prised if many masters of big business |
bad not contributed to the Republi- <
can campaign of 1904. i
The Colonel mentioned the Stand- i
ard Oil Company. He said that If 1
the report of the Congressional Com- i
mlttee which investigated his cam
paign contributions showed that "H.
H. R." and "J. D. A."?which the |
witness thoiigbt stood for H. H.
Rogers and John D. Archbold?had j
contributed to the Republican fund In
1904, he was astonished. He said
be had given explicit Instructions
against receiving 'Standard Oil con
tributions.
Personally he emphatically declar
ed, he would regard just as highly a
contribution of $25 from the station
agent at Oyster Bay as he wornd a
contribution of $25,000 from George
W. Perkins, who in 1904 was a part
ner in the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co.
And he expressed the belief that there
was a limit to the amount a cam
paign fund should total. Over aT cer
tain sum, he did not know how much,
he thought there might be some dan
ger.
GERMAN PAPERS COMMENT.
American Nota and President's Ad
dress Not Pleasing.
Amsterdam, via London.?The Am
erican answer to Count Bernstorff's
recent memoradum drew this com
ment from the Berlin newspapers:
The Tagellsche Rudschauke:
"America takes all possible trouble
over the ammunition requirements of
our enemies ostensibly from a love of
nefitrality. She does not trouble about
the possible food requirements of Ger
many; this also is done from a love
of neutrality." ?
The VoBSlche Zeltung:
"Washington should recognize that
such an attitude on the part of Ameri
ca will not speedily be forgotten in
Germany."
The Lokal Anzeiger:
"The German standpoint on this
question is founded on thoroughly es
tablished principles and practice of In
ternational law. The American stand
point can be explained only by the
profits of the armament flrmss."
Uannot Restrain Jitney Busses.
Richmond. Vg.?The Virginia Su
preme Court of Appeals sustained-the
lower court in refusing the petition of
the Virginia Railway & Power Co.,
for an injunction forbidding two Jit
ney bus companies to operate here
without first securing franchises from
the city.
Fourteen Drowned In Fleod.
Austin. Tex.?Fourteen persons are.
known to have been drowned in the
flood which swept down Shoal and
Waller Creeks on the outskirts of
Austin during rainstorm, washing
*way.m<ffe than 200 dwelling houses.
Eleven other persons not accounted
for. are believed to have lost their
Urea. The property damage is esti
mated at $500,000. Ten inches of rain
"fell within two hours, the creeks ris
ing rapidly and overflowing their
banks before residents of the lowlands
could be warned.
Think Exports Reach Record.
Washington?Secretary Redfleld laid
before the cabinet estimates that the
American exports for the current fiscal
year will reach 12.750,000.000. The
secretary took to the cabinet meeting
tables showing that exports of bread
atnffs last month amounted to 259.000,
000 compared with 58.000.000 In hfarch
1914. Breadstuff's exported since the
war's outbreak have totalled 1418.000,
000. Half of all exports during the
eight months ending February 28 went
to British territory as against 46 pet
cent a year ago In the same period.

mentn of hospital and other supplies

have been arranged by the American

London.?Glowing accounts of the
strength and condition of the British
army gad of the great Increase In the
output of munitions, which It Is ex
pected. next month will amount to 25
times what It was last September,
given by David Lloyd-Georfee, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer and Harold
J. Tennant, Parliamentary Secretary
of the War Office, In the House of
Commons, have Increased enthusiasm
and confidence of the people of Eng
land in the war.
Supplementing the Chancellor's
statement that Great Britain has
more than 36 divisions of troops on
the Continent and that the output of
munitions has Increased enormously.
Mr. Tennant. speaking on behalf of
the Secretary of War, Lord Kitchener,
declared that recruiting had been most
satisfactory and gratifying; that the
health of the troops was splendid, and
that the wounded were in the London
hospitals 24 hours after they were
stricken In France. He wished to Im
press on the country the necessity of
Increasing the supplies of artillery am
munition, gdding:
"There is no limit to the amount
required."
The frankness of the Cabinet Min
isters in making known the number
?f men at the front, and the reports
that reach London from various
Bources have convinced the people
that at last the big effort against Ger
many and Turkey Is about to com
mence. Both In the Aegan and North
Seas there are signs of Increasing act
ivity. From today ail steamboat com
munication with Holland Is stopped
by order of the British Government.
Taken In connection with the news
from Berlin that British submarines
have been In the Bight of Helgoland,
where the German admiralty lays
claim to having sunk one, and per
haps more, this Is believed to fore
shadow some movement In the North
Sea; while there Is no longer any
endeavor to hide the fact that a big
Anglo-French force is prepared to go,
as General O'Amande the French
commander, has said, "to any point
where It is required."
CRUISER WILHELM REPAIRED.
Taken Out of Dry Dock After Small
Hole is Stopped.
Newport News, Va.?After having
her hull below the water-line cleaned
and painted the German auxiliary
cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm was taken
from the drydock at the local ship
yard and Is lying at anchor In the
harbor. The only repairs made to the
ship while she was In dock was the
stoppage of a small hole In her port
bow, made when the raider rammed
and sank one of her prizes at sea.
When floated from the dock the big
cruiser showed a bad list which is
said to be due to faulty construction
but which is overcome when tfie ship
Is loaded. *
The new boiler tubes ordered by
Commander Thierfelder soon after
his arrival here has arrived. They
win be Installed by workmen from
the shipyard and not by members of
the crew as was the case when the
Prinz Eltel Friedrlch was repaired.
The work done by the naval survey
board has been so closely ^guarded
that the time of the survey has not
been made known. The armed guard
of artillerymen from Fort Monroe re
turned to quarters.
Frank Asks For Clemency
Atlanta, Ga.?-Attorneys for Leo M.
Frank filed a petition with Govern
or Staton and the Georgia prison com
mission asking that the sentence of
death imposed upon Frank for the
murder of Mary Phagan be commut

March Export* Increased.
Washtngtn. ? Excess of American
exports over Imports In March this
year was J140.969.347. the largest fav
orable trade balance for March in the
bistory of American commerce. Ex
ports for the month were J299.909.5S3.

merce statement "Imports hare de

13 to J1.398,352.578 in 1913-14 and Jl.

Villa Concentrating Hit Force*.
Washington. ? Consular dispatches
from Mexico indicate that while tem
porarily disorganised by the defeat at
Oelaya, General Villa's forces by no
I means have been removed as a for
midable factor in Mexico's civil war.
Plans for another battle with Obre
gon's Cartansa forces are proceeding
rapidly. Villi's chief difficulty Is his
lack of ammunition. Too. when he
met Ohregon at Celsya. Villa had sent
forces to attack Matamoros. Neuvo
Laredo. Tamplco and West coast towns
greatly depleting his main force.
Concerned Over Prise Rulea
Washington.?Press dispatches from
Berlin announcing Important amend
ments to the German prise rules were
noted at the state department witn
some concern. Officials will await the
text of these amendments before mak
ing any statements for publication but
apprehension la expressed privately
that if the new rules aTe outlined cor

WILSON MAKES IT CLEAR
NEUTRALITY IN PA8T HAS BEEN
OiFICULT BUT FUTURE WILL
BE MORE SO.
Neutrality <Haa a Higher Baala Than
the Petty Deaire to Keep Out of
Trouble.
New York.?PresldqnLJWllson gave
a definite and, clear statement ot the
neutrality guiding bis administration
during tbe war In Europe. He chose
tbe occasion ot the annual luncheon
of the Associated Press tor what he
said he regarded as a statement of
gravest Importance to the American
people.
The Influence ot the newspaper In
moulding public opinion Mr. Wilson
said, prompted him to make clear his
ideas of true neutrality, and In doing
so, to Impress on his hearers the Im
portance of adhering strictly to truth
fulness and honesty In the dissemina
tion of the news.
Mr. Wilson seemed to weigh each
word he uttered. Tbe Importance he
attached to the statement was re
flected in a request that no attempt be
made to paraphrase his speech or to
give It publicity until the official
White House stenographer had tran
scribed it in full.
As the only great Nation not en
gaged In the war or suffering under
the Immediate influence of the war
sone, Mr. Wilson declared that a great
distinction awaited the United States
when the hour of re-adjustment
should come, provided this nation
should prove to the world Its self
control and self-mastery. The past
had been difficult, he pointed ouL but
the future would be more difficult.
America, the President said, never
would attempt to sit in Judgment on
another nation. No nation was fit to
do that, he added. But America, free
from hampering ambitions as a world
power, free of a lust for terHtory,
calm, cool and without self-interest,
must be appealed to to assist In the
reconstructing processes of peace.
The neutrality of the United States
Mr. Wilson said, had a higher basis
than a petty desire to keep out of
trouble.
"There is something so much great
er to do than fight," he said. "Let
us think of America before we tblnk
of Europe, in order that America
may be fit to be Eurqpe's friend when
the day of tested friendship comes.
The test of friendship Is not sympathy
with one or the other but getting
ready to help both sides when the
struggle is over."
The President was greeted with
cheers when he appeared at the lun
cheon and constantly was Interrupt
ed by applause and expressions of ap
proval.
NO INFORMATION FOR PUBLIC.
British Cabinet Ministers Don't An
ewer Questions.
London.?With Cabinept Ministers
In the House of Commons and the
House of Lords subjected to a rapid
fire of questions and Premier Asquith
delivering a speech to the armament
workers at Newcastle, the British pub
lic expected that many questions on
which Information was desired would
be cleared up. But the Ministers
were not much more communicative
than usual.
Canal Trip la Uncertain.
Washington.?It developed In naval
circles that officials are by no means
certain the Atlantic fleet can pacs
through the Panama Canal early In
July as planned. Some parts of the
canal are not deep enough now to per
mit the passage of dreadnoughts In
safety and there Is no assurance that
dredging will be completed In time
for the proposed cruise to San Fran
cisco. When plans for sending the
> fleet through the water-way were an
nounced. Governor Ooethals declined,
to promise the feat possible.
New Dyestuff Plants.
Washington.?More than a score of
American Arms are establishing new
color works or enlarging their present
plants to meet demands for dyeetuffs
to take the place of the supply that
formerly came from Germany and now
cut off by the war. The department
of commerce announced that it had
found a noteworthy progress In dye
stuffs manufacture. The announce
ment said that of several plants In
creasing faculties for bentol produc
tion. one was at Woodward, Ala., and
another was In the South.
URGES NEED OE KINDNESS
SELF-POSSESSION 18 TH5 SU
PREME TEST OP A NATION'S
METAL.
Mr. Wilton Urges Th# Congress of
Daughter! to Rally to th# Ctutt
of Righteousness.
Washington.?The need of self-pos
session, calmness and a Judicial tem
perament by the United States In the
present world crisis was urged by
President Wilson In a speech before
the opening session of the twenty
fourth Continental Congress of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion.
The president said self-possession j
was the supreme test of a nation s
mettle, and urged the Congress to ral
ly to the cause of righteousness, as
ministered by those who hold their
minds quiet and Judge upon principle^
Following the president's
Ambassador Juseerand of France told
the Congress that the United Rtstes
had behaved In he European crisis so
as to command the gratitude and
thankfulness of the world.
"We In France," he said, "have
learned to know what the American
heart is made of?the pure American
gold that is in it. I am glad that 1
may affirm the thanks of France for
the generosity of Amerlcsr-the neu
tral United States."
The ambassador said the "clj1^
question in the European
was the same problem that con
fronted America in revolutionary
times. "We thought we had solved
the problem of human liberty, he
said. ""But * again confronts us I
will be solved now Just as It was solved
i in former times, as it was solved in
' the trenches at Yorktown.

ground that allegations made in the

the nature of Isolated engagements

MIEM REPLITO

HE SHOULD^ HAVE KNOWN
But 8irtce Me Dou Not State Depart
ment Telia Him la Kindly Lan

Washington?The United States re
plied to the recent memorandum In
which Count von Bearnstorff, the Ger
man Ambassador, declared that "If
the American people desired to ob
serve true neutrality they will find
means to stop the exclusive Import
ation of.arms to one side or at least
to use this export trade as a means
to uphold the legitimate trade with
Germany, especially tbrtrade In food
stuffs."
The American note, signed by Sec
retary Bryan, was drafted at the State
Department, but finally was penned
by President Wilson himself. After
pointing out that the language used
by Count von Bernstorff "Is accept
ible of being construed as Impunglng
the good faith of the United States In
the performance of its duties as a
neutral," tbt note "takes It for grant
ed that no such implication was In
tended" and suggests that evidently
the German Ambassador "is laboring
under certain false Impressions."
It then declares that while the rela
tions of the United States with any
one of the belligerents "cannot wisely
be made a subject of discussion with
a third Government" such correspon
dence between the United States and
the Allies as has been published
shows "the steadfast refusal" of the
American Government" to acknowl
edge the right of any belligerent to
alter the accepted rules of war at sea
Insofar as they affect the rights and
Interests of neutrals."
The attitude of the United States
on the question of exportations of
arms is re-stated?namely that to
place any embargo on arms during
the progress of a war would be "a
direct violation of the neutrality of
the United States." The note refers
to the spirit of friendship which the
United States desires always to mani
fest toward Germany and its people
and concludes with the declaration
that the neutrality of the United
States "Is founded upon the firm basis
of conscience and good will." _
The communication was delivered
by mesenger to Count Bernstorff and
by arrangement with the German Em
bassy the State Department made It
public.

Lloyd-George. Chancellor of the Ex
chequer. In the House of Commons.
The Chancellor added that the place
of every man who had fallen in bat
tle had been filled and that'the army
was adequately equipped. But he re
Iterated the need for munitions, de
claring that during the battle of
Nueve Chapelle more ammunition.waa
used than in the whole of the South
African war. which lasted nearly
three years.
The Interesting Information also
[was given that the output of the muni
tion factories bad been lncrased more
than nlneteenfold since the outbreak
[ of the war but the call was still for
more, and as Mr. Lloyd-Oeorge con
tinues to bold the opinion that con
sumption of liquor Is Interfering with
the work, he promised legislation to
deal with this matter.
