7 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS. 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. Watterson Calls T. R. Suit “A Fool’s Errand.” LOUISVILLE. KY„ May 29.

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. A wonderful magazine given FREE with every copy of the next Sunday American.
