Thompson Washington correspond-
ent for a New York paper as the next
witiiets in the Koottcvelt libel suit to-
day testified that lie never saw Roobo-
veil under the Influence of lhpior or
detected the odor of liquor on his
treat 1.
Thompson said it vas iufossible
for the Colonel to be drunk without
some of them knowing it. His testi-
mony covered Roosevelt's term of
tile presidency. As u member of tho
entertainment committee of the Grid-
iron club Thompson said lie bad ex-
ceptional opportunity for watching the
Colonel. Nearly always the Colonel
took a glass of champagne and sipped
it occasionally.
The defense is expected to attempt
to show that Roosevelt wu drunk at
the Cannon dinner.
T'ticnni it on ae ompaiiied ltoo:evc!t

was again with him at Mercer hospital
and until the election.
He said the Colonel never drank
t 1 1 ' (" on the trip. Thompson was as-
signed to report tho Colonel's actions
not his Hpeeclui.
An w Allele of Ironton Ohio once
a coal miner and later a railroader
said he had known the Colonel for ten
years. He told u! the Colonel's speech
'at lioMon last fall but the court re-
fused to allow Abele t tell what a

Kdvviu Emerson secretary ot

Colonel drank nothing but coffee and
water throughout the war.
Tho proceedings yesterday afternoon
were marked by an Important ruling
by Judge Kichard C. Flannigan which
in tho introduction of evidence by the
defense will have the effect of exclud-
ing certain kinds of hearsay testi-
mony. This iuling came after a pro-
longed argument during which the
jurors were excluded from the room
m1 after attorneys tor Col. Kooseveii
had urged for the exelmdon of a cer-
tain kind of testimony which they said
might be introduced by the defense
through depositions.
Tho effect of the ruling was that
Col. Roosevelt's general reputatfon is
an issue in the case and testimony
bearing upon his reputation may be
introduced but that rumors about bid'
reputation coming from persons not
qualified by experience to judge shall
not be admitted. In the future pro-
gress of the hearing it was explained
in court a person who has traveled
extensively with the former president
or who has been associated with him
with any degree of constancy may
testify as to his reputation. Hut a
man who heard of the Colonel deliver

CHANGED
That the route of the proposed
Meridian highway was not chained at
the recent meeting of the Good Koads
association in El Reno was the in-
formation obtained yesterday by Ben
V. Johnson who went to El Heno to
investigate the matter.
Mr. Johnson was told by El Heno
men who took a prominent part in
the meeting that the route was not
changed at all although the Auadarko
and Lawton delegations made a plea
for a section of the road leading di-
rectly south from El Kcno and miss-
inir tho towns on the Rock Island.
"The road will pass 1 trough Minco
Pocasset and Chickasha provided a
bridge is built across the Canadian al
Union City" said Mr. Johnson. "This
is certainbut the bridge is absolutely
necessary and there will be l otting
doing without it. We must join with

LESS WORK FOR
POSTAL CLERKS
The clerks in the postoifice are re-
joicing this morning over a new rul-
ing that was reeei.uu from Post-
master General Burleson stating in
substance that it will not be necessary
to "1)ack stamp" ordinary mail In the
future. The order however does not
affect the back stamping of the regis-
tered and special delivery mail it be-
ing held necessary to continue with
this mail as formerly.
As stated at the local postoffiee the
elimination of this work will save at
least one fourth of the time taken to
handle the mails as they arrive. "Back
stamping." is simply stamping the time
of arrival on each separate piece of
mail at f'.s destination and the order
holds that tho mail is handled as
quickly as possible and that stamping
the lato of its arrival is unnecessary
work and may as well therefore be
eliminated.

are Responding to Call
"Vinca Park" the Name
Plans initiated by Miss Annie Wade
O'Neill a few weeks ago for making a
resliijj; place and "beauty spot" of the
block south of the Carnegie library
are now w ell under way and It will not
be long before Vinca park will become
a reality. The work will be pushed
and it is hoped that the park will be
ready for us witnin a few weeks. The
people of the city have responded gen-
erously signifying their willingness
to furnish the voluntary contributions
necessary for carrying out plans that
have been suggested.
A. S. Gray the florist has very gen-
erously consented to supervise the lay-
ing off and decorating of the park. He
will also donate flowers and plants.
Hugh Mullen an experienced gar-
dender and florist has been engaged
to do the work of beautifying the
park. Mr. Mullen when not actively
engaged at the park will lay off
grounds plant flowers and give assist-
ance In decorating private gardens to
citizens who may need his services
for a moderate compensation.
Mayor Burton has had slag hauled
for foundations for the walk along
Sixth street and Mr. Dunning of the
Lisle-Dunning Construction Co. has
generously given all the gravel re-
quired for surfacing the walk and
Mayor Burton will have this gravel
carried to tho park.
One good citizen will probably do
nate all the stone required for the
mound to be built around the fountain
near tho center of the park.
Mayor Burton will have the water
connections made so that the flower
beds and plants can bo given the wa-
ter required.
"In this way our humble beginnings
for a park a resting place an dpleasure
resort are being .made" said Misa
O'Neill.

Agricultural Commissioner of Rock
bland Visits Chickasha Feeder's
Big Ranch and Investi-
gates Methods
PREMIUM CATTLE
WERE FED SILAGE
Johnson Erecting Nine More of 210
Tons Capacity Each Silo is
Money Maker for the
Farmer
Prof. II. M. Cottrell agricultural
commissioner of the Rock Island lines
and Victor H. Schoffelmayer editor ot
the South '.v est Trail published by the
railroad in Chicago are In Chickasha
today iu the Interest of increasing
the number of silos in Oklahoma. They
visited the ranch of Henry B. Johnson
the 'big feeder and investigated hia
feeding methods. Mr Johnson's cat-
tle have been priay winners for years
at the big live stock shows and enjoy
a reputation the country over.
The erand champion Aberdeen An
gus cattle first prize winners at th
Fat Stock show at Fort Worth last
year were silo fed and averaged 13SO
pounds. They were two-year-olds and
were bought by Swift & Company. Mr.
Jqhnson last year had six 250-ton silos
and this year is erecting nine more ot
about 210 tons each.
"Hundreds of i. los are being erect-
ed or will be put up this summer"
said Prof. Cottrell. "Garfield county
has about 600 silos now and 200 mora
are being contracted for. Silo factor-
ies aro flooded with orders and work-
ing to full capacity. The kind of silo
to buy is not so much the question as
to take care of the silo you do buy.
Wood will dry out and split if neg-
lected; steel will rust and warp if un-
cared for and concrete will crumble It
it is not put up right and taken care
of.
"My advice to tho farmer is to buy
a silo no matter what kind and take
care of it and put In first class kafir
com and feed it to cattle. The farmer
in this age and day must put his pro-
duct on the market in finished condi-
tion. He should feed his corn and
kafir and In that way be will Ket dou-
ble or more for the crop what it would
have been worth to him aa grain. The
silo saves all waste. There are many
instances where a silo paid for itself
out of tho waste that otherwises would
have resulted from feeding the corn
w'uicb was cut for silage. An Intelli-
gent silo farmer will have nmnev In
the bank from increased yields of
beef milk or pork. As a dairy propo-
sition the silo is unsurpassed but it is
of the greatest help to the small
farmer as it fits in perfectly Into hl3
general feeding plan."
The July Issue of the Southwest
Trail which can be had for the ask-
ing will be devoted to "Silos In Okla-
homa" and will contain much inter-
esting reading dealing with the exper-
ience of feeders and farmers with
siloa. It will be profusely Illustrated.
