tor Newell, winning a most trlum
phnl acknowledgement from the
newspaper man. In which tho latter

retract the statement made by his
paper o the effect that Mr. Roose
velt had Indulged to excess In Intox
icating liquors. Newell admitted
th.it he had been forced to the be
lief that Le had made u grievous
mistake and th*t a great injustice
had been done to the former presi
dfut Vr the publication of the lib
clous article. He deeply regretted
having made the statement, but at
tempted to defeud his paper by say
ing that his Information had appar
ently come from a reliable source.
