MAGAZINE CALLED
FOR 1915 ATTACKS
Collier's "Weekly is again on the de
fensive in its attacks on the Panama-
Pacific exposition. Frank Burt, di
rector of concessions, has written to
Mark Sullivan, the editor, demanding
a second retraction.
Collier's of December 6 attacked the
exposition, specially Burt's depart
ment, for the "Temple of Childhood"
concession, charging the concession
aires in a national campaign had made
it appear as an official exhibit.
Burt says in his letter that long be
fore the editorial appeared he had be
gun vigorous action against Frank
Danby, manager of the "Temple." to
stop misrepresentation. He has sent
Collier's copies of letters passing be
tween Danby and himself.
Except for the misrepresentation, he
says, no objection can be made to the
"Temple."
Collier's attacked the exposition a
few weeks ago for, it said, granting
a concession for the sale of eyeglasses
on the fair streets. The concession
had previously been refused, and Col
lier's retracted.

T.R.'S POLICIES
SCORED BY TAFT
NEW YORK, Dec. 12. —Former
President William H. Taft, lecturing
before the New York Peace society
last night, accused former President
Theodore Roosevelt of seeking to de
stroy the independence of the judiciary
and demoralise the administration of
justice in two continents.
Taft had been arguing for the main
tenance of the Monroe doctrine, when
he suddenly broke forth with:
"I am glad that Mr. Roosevelt, in
his visit to those countries (Brazil and
Argentina), has sought to impress
them with the view of the Monroe
doctrine that I have expressed. In
deed, he would have helped them, and
us, too, far more if he had confined
his teachings and lectures to explana
tions and limitations of the Monroe
doctrine and had not sought to de
stroy the independence of the judi
ciary and demoralise the administra
tion of Justice in two continents."
