After stating he lived near the former President's home at Oyster Bay. ond that h© was the colonel’s daily companion when the latter was at Oyster Bay, Philip 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 Andrews for the defense. “Yea,'* was the answer. Q. A collection of liquors?—A. A regnlar gentleman's cellar. Q. Scotch whisky?—A. I never saw it, but I supposed Jt was there. Q. White wine?—A. Yes. Q Champagne?—Te«, Q. Brandy?—A- I presume It was there. Story Prepared in Advance.

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.

Edwin Emerson, of New York, sec retary of Colonel Roosevelt during the Cuban campaign, followed Philip Roosevelt on the stand. Court was adjourned until 2 o’clock after Andrew's 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 baaed his charges of drunkenness and profanity. A trip made by New'ett to Florida, during w'hich 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 1n Michigan, will form the basis of his testimony. New'ett 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, ami as soon as*the present case Is ended he will go to a hospital for an operation.
