Sept. 25. —Pres- ident Roosevelt made public the fol- lowing letter, which he Las sent to Rear Admiial Thomas: “I Inclose $100 to be used in that sult which, thanks to you, has beecu so wise. iy undertaken to test the legality of ex- cluding any man from any public place of entertainment because he wears the United States uniform. I feel that it is the duty of every good citizen to en- deavor in every shape and way to make It plaio that he regards the uni form of the United States army and uavy, just as much when worn by an enlisted man as when worn by an off cof, as a badge of honor and therefore entitling the wearer to honor so long as he behaves decently. There Is no finer body of men (n all our country than the enlisted men of the army and pavy of the United States, and I can vot sufficiently express my indignation and contempt for nny man who treats his uniform save with the respect to which it is entitled. If a man misbe baves himself, then, no matter what uniform he wears, he should be dealt with accordiugly, but the fact of wear- ing the United States uniform should be accepted as presumptive evidence that the man who wears It is all right, and any discrimination against the uni- form as such is more than presumptive evidence that the man thus discrimi natiog Is all wrong.” Rear Admiral Thomas is reported to be paying half the expenses of a suit for $600 damages brought by Chief Yeoman F. J. Buenzle against the New- port Amusement company of Newport, on the ground that he was excluded from a dauce hall while In uniform. Buengle is on duty at the naval train. ing station at Newport. The sult will not be tried until Oet. 2 or later. STENSLAND OFF FOR CHICAQO. Baak Embezzlier From Tangier De- niea Suicide Story, NEW YORK, Sept. 25. — Paul O.
