I. H. KEEPS REAL
KNOCKING HIM OVER THE ROPES
'S'
Son of Colonel’s Cousin, Ex-
President’s “Pal,” So Testifies
at Libel Suit Hearing,
MARQUETTE, MICH., May 29.—
Testimony of Phillip James Roose-
velt, son of a cousin of the farmer
President, that Colonel Roosevelt kept
a “regular gentleman's wine cellar" at
his home in tjysteh Bay was the fea-
ture of this morning’s session of the
trial of Colonel Roosevelt’s suit for
$10,000 libel for charges made in an
editorial by George W. Newett, editor
of The Ishpeming Iro Ore, that Roose
velt “was drunk, not infrequently.”
The younger Roosevelt followed
Charles Thompson, a New York
newspaper man; Andrew Abele. for
mer locomotive engineer of Ashtabula.
Ohio, and A. Z. Blair, an attorney of
Portsmouth. Ohio, all of whom bore
witness to the former President’s so
briety during trips when they accom
panied him.
Calls Colonel Abstemious.
After stating he lived near the
former President’s home at Oyster
Bay, ond that* he was the colonel's
daily companion when the latter was
at Oyster Bay, Phillip Roosevelt tes
tified he never had seen the colonel
drink other than at meals and then
only white wine and occasionally a
glass of champagne. He also de
clared that the limit of his indulgence
on the last Presidential campaign was
a spoonful of brandy in a glass of
milk, and denied indignantly that he
ever had seen the colonel drunk.
“Does Roosevelt keep wines and
liquors in his home?" was the first
question of Attorney Andrew's for the
.defense.
“Yes," was the answer.
Q. A collection of liquors?—A. A
regular gentleman's cellar.
Q. Scotch whisky?—A. I never saw
it, but I supposed it was there.
Q. White wine?—A. Yes.
Q. <’hampagne?—A. Yes.
Q. Brandy?—A. I presume it was
there.
Story Prepared in Advance.
The witness returned the same an
swer to the following: Red wine,
sherry, rye, whisky, bourbon whisky,
Madera, Russian wine, creme de
menthe.
Q. How long have you been a news
paper man?—A. Since March, 1913.
Q Are you doing newspaper work
here?—A. My pay is going on.
Q. Are you acting for your paper?
—A. I am sending out stories.
Q. Did you write up and send out
Colonel Roosevelt’s testimony before
it was given?—A. No.
Q. Was it written up before it was
delivered?—A. Yes.
Q. And sent out by any person?—
A. The Colonel prepared a statement
embodying the substance of his testi
mony and I presume it w r as sent out.
Q. And it was printed in New York
before the Colonel went on the stand?
On objection, the court refused to
permit a reply. On redirect exami
nation the witness said liquor was
never pressed on guests at Roosevelt’s
home.
Edwin Emerson, of New York, sec
retary • of Colonel Roosevelt during
the Cuban campaign, followed Phillip
Roosevelt on the stand.
Court was adjourned until 2 o’clock
after Andrews had testified he never
saw Roosevelt drink spirituous liquors
during the campaign in Cuba fifteen
years ago.
Newett Ready to Testify.
George W. Newett. defendant in the
suit, was prepared to take the stand
to-day in his own defense to tell the
sources of the information on which
he based his charges of drunkenness
and profanity.
A trip made by Newett to Florida,
during which he met a number of
prominent persons who are alleged to
have spoken of Roosevelt’s alleged
over-indulgence in liquor, and similar
statements made to him by persons
in Michigan, will form the basis of
his testimony.
Newett will also tell of various ar
ticles which he saw in newspapers
and magazines which influenced him
to write the editorial now' in question.
The Ishpeming editor has not been
well for some months, and as soon
as the present case is ended he will
go to a hospital for an operation.
The Colonel to-day declined an in
vitation to address the Marquette G.
A. R. on Memorial Day.

Suit of Mrs. James C. Bishop “Georgia - Manufactured" Goods
Against Millionaire f/iagnet for
Fashionable Folk.
NEW YORK, May 29. Seats were
at a premium in Justice Goff's Court
to-day when the divorce action of
I Mrs. Abigail Hancock Bishop against
her millionaire husband. James C.
Bishop, wus continued.
Fashionably-gowned women who
had driven up in luxurious limousines
attended by servants took part in the
scramble for seats. The court room
was gay with the bright color of
Parisian gowns. A battery of lorg
nette.! swept the ro< m.
Gertrude Gerard, a maid at the Ho
tel Astor. w'as called to the stand to
resume her story. Previously she had
identified a photo of Mrs. .1. Temple
Gwalhmey, wife of a former president
of th? New York Cotton Exchange, as
tlie woman whom she saw with Mr.
Bishop, or a man closely resembling
him. in a suite there. The woman,
the maid swore, wore a nightgown.
The man was attired in a sky blue
bath robe.
ing remarks on the Roosevelt trial in
The Louisville Courier-Journal:
History and literature are so
studded with the hobnail9 of vin
ous hilarity, all the way from
Noah and onward, through eons
of notable persons who are not
commonly represented as exam
ples of strict sobriety, that it
would seem a much ado about
nothing in Colonel Roosevelt to
seek to fix by legal inquiry and
affirmation the various kinds of
intoxicants he has never used and
w hich he actually detests and the
precise number of drinks he has
not had for breakfast.
With what purpose is his pro
ceeding and to what end?
Whether he drinks wine, or
beer, or cocktails, or mint juleps,
or does not drink at all. may be
said in a sense to be nobody's
business' but his own; assuredly
no one is concerned but the im
mediate circle about him.
Surely a man who has lived in
the world three and fifty years, in
the limelight thirty of them, the
head of a happy and prosperous
^household, a good husband and
'father, a prodigious'ly hard work-
er, could afford to let tongues
wag as they will about his exits
and his entrances, his food and
his drink and his intimate per
sonality.
It must be to most self-respect
ing Americans a humiliation to
have the most world-famous of
their living countrymen, an ex-
President of the United States,
engaged in what appears so tri
vial and needless a task as that
which has taken him to the Mich
igan village. It seems a kind of
fool's errand. It will change no
man’s opinion, certainly not the .
opinion of just and thoughful
men.
