DECISION AN "OUTRAGE"
Imprisoned Publishers Hold One
Continuous Reception and Receive
Thousands of Congratulatory Let
ters and Messages-Hundreds of
Pennies Pour In to Pay Their Fines.
Caldwell, Idaho, Jan. 4.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt in a telegram to
James H. (Gipson, progressive state
chairman, which was received today,
extended to E. S. Sheridan, C. O.
Broxon and A. R. Cruzen, who are
serving a jail sentence for contempt
of court for publishing Colonel Roose
velt's appeal, his sympathy and ad
miration. He also has communicated
with progressive senators to see if
something cannot be done in the Uni
ted States senate to call attention to
what he terms an "outrage."
Colonel Roosevelt's telegram fol
lows:
"I am confident that I express the
feelings of every decent American
citizen when I say that I am outraged
and indignant beyond measure at the
infamy that has been perpetrated in
Idaho.
"In its essence the action of the
court is in the first place to deny to
a very large minority, possibly a plur
ality of the voters of Idaho, the right
effpetively to express their desire as
to who shall be the chief magistrate
of the nation and in the second place
to punish those who protest against
this denial of justice and thereby seek
to intimidate all men -who may here
after desire to protest against similar
outrages.
"No anarchist agitator could ever do
anything against the courts compara
ble in effect to these actions of the
highest of one of our state courts.
There could be no better proof that
we need in any state the power to
recall judges from the bench when
they act badly and that everywhere
we need to give to the people them
selves the right expeditiously to make
their own constitutions and to be in
every act the masters of their own
destinies.
"I have communicated with Senators
Dixon, Blorah, Poindexter and Bristow
to ask if something cannot be done
in the United States senate, at any
rate to call attention to the outrage.
Let me know if. there is anything in
which I can be of assistance.
"Meanwhile I wish to extend to the
progressives of Idaho and particularly
to the men who have been fined and
sentenced to jail, not nlerly my
meartiest sympathy, but my heartiest
admiration.
They are in every act proving 1by
their conduct the truth of the pro
fession they have nmade. All good
citizens are their debtors. They have
made great sacrifices for :U'e cause of
popular government, of gool citizen
ship and of the right temperately and
truthfully to say what is vitally
necessary in the interests of good
citizenship."
One Continuous Reception.
Boise, Idaho, Jan. 4.-Thousands of
letters and telegrams from prominent
persons in all parts of the country
were received today by E. S. Sheridan,
C. 0. Broxon and A. HI. ('ruzen, who
are serving 10-day sentences for con
tempt of court. Their cells, which
were once occupied by Moyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone of Western Fed
eration fame, are banked with flow
ers.
"Greetings to the knight errant of
the press," said a messag. to Mr.
Sheridan from Governor West of Ore
gon. "I am forwarding by this mail
data re Oregon parole and honor
system for your mediation. If in need
draw on me for a pardon."

MORE STAMPS ORDERED
FOR THE PARCEL POST
Washington, Jan. 4.-By direction of
Postmaster General Hitchcock. the
bureau of engraving and printing in
creased today its daily output of
parcel post stamps from five to ten
million.
From virtually every section of the
country requisitions by mail and by
telegraph are being made for more
distinctive parcel stamps. Postoffice
officials are positive that no danger
of a tie-up of the service exists be
cause of the exhaustion of the supply
of stamps, as a sufficient reserve is
on hand bere.
Reports received from postmasters
in various parts of the United States
indicate a tremendous increase in bus
iness because of parcel post, but no
serious congestion is reported.
TAFT PRESIDES
OVER OWN
WAKE
MAKES "FUNERAL ORATION,
OVER HIS POLITICAL
CORPSE."
HE CANNOT UNDERSTAND
The President Declares He Has Been
More Misunderstood Than Blaume
worthy-He Defends His Adminis
tration Through the Many Results
He Declares It Has Attained.
New York, Jan. 4.--President Taft
presided here tonight at what he
styled his own "political wake." He
made the funeral oration over his
"political porple;" asked modest
praise for the deeds that he did while
he lived in the White House; recited
at length the causes that led to his
"demise" and attaclked the enemies he
held responsib.e for his taking off.
The president was the only speaker
at the republican "reorganization"
dlinner, given at the Waldorf-Astoria
to more than 1,000 republicans from
all over the country. He spoke for
more than an hour. His defense of
his administration was the executive
results it has produced; his reply to
personal criticism was that he had
Ieen nmore misunderstood than blame
worthy. His attack upon his political
oplponcnts--confined almost exclu
sively to the progressives-was not
bitter, but sorrowful.
In spite of all the misrepresenta
tion, the unrest, the present-day de
sire for change, the president said, he
saw in the future a return to the old
ideas of government, the awakening
of the people to an understanding
that social changes must be made
slowly and with sure steps. He closed
with an appeal to republicans who
left the party .to return and join
hands with the rntllions ,who re
mained faithful.
"Let us buhckle on our armor again
for the battle for humanity that must
be fought," said the president. "Let
us invite those republicans wlho left
us under an impulse that calmer con
sideration shows to have been unwise,
to return and stand again with us in
this critical time.
"Let us ask our opponents, the dem
ocrats, The many who love the conl
stitution and the blessings it has
brought, to unite with us in its de
fense. It must be a campaign of edu
cation among the common picole for
'the benefit of the common people
against the person of class-hatred,
the fanaticism of unbalanced enthusi
asm and the sophistry of demagogic
promise."
In tile course of his speech the pres
ident made, his first public reference
to Colonel Itoosevelt since the close
of the campalign, asserting that prob
ably one million voters, normially re
publican, cast their iIallots for Mr.
\Vilson, "in order to avoid thel danger
of Mr. Rloosevelt's l;dangeroLIS policies."
The president said in part:
"It is unusual for tile deceased to
give very full expression to his feel
ings at the wake; but I remember
that in on(1 of lioucicault's Irish
dramas, tile corpse' was sufficiently
revived to partakel of the liquid re
freshlent anld Icc'amme the chief par
ticipant in the festivities. A f'ew
,lopening remarks diretcted to thile char
acter of the deceased and the manner
of his taking off may not, therefore,
he inappropriate.
"What was tile political disease of
which 1 died? 1 am hopieful that
when historians conduct their post
mortems it may ie found that my d'
mise was due to circumstances over
which I had no great control and to
a political cataclysm which I could
hardly hav"e anticipated or avoided;
but whll'th'r this le true or Inot e(venl
friendly critics are able to poinit out
personal reasons why it was that,
though 1 went in, I also went out,
with large majorities.
"It has been charged against me
that I amn an aristocrat and that I

Medljldiclh fired six or se\ven shells at
two Greek dtestroyers crulsilng there
and the latter replied. The enemy,
however, drew off into the straits
Immediately they 1lreceived the other
Greek destroyers coming up.
At 1 t: 25 the Medjidich and the
Hatlidieh separated from the squad
roll, which remained at the entrance
of the straits, and advanced west t
ward Tenedos, where for half an hour
they exchanged shots with the GreeK
destroyers The Turkish cruisers
were followed to a certain point by
the destroyers.
The fight ended by the flight of the
enemy's warships into the straits im
mediately the whole Greek fleet ap
peared on the horizon.
