WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-Elmer WASH
burnes head is again In danger. lie is too good
a man for his place-at least that Is the opinion
Of men who are working to get him out. Wcsh-
burnc has excited the anger Of the crowd who
are working for the pardon Of the crooked
whiskey couvicts by his outspoken denuncla-
tion Of this pardoning OF sentenced thieves.
For several days they have been besicging At
torrey General Taft with stories about Wash
burne, and have presented such an imposing
array Of whOlc-souled lies that the simple soul
OF Taft has been sOrely exercised, and some Of
Washburne's friends are beginning to be appro-
henslve about MIN.
One of the men who Is working the hardest to
secure Washburne's overthrow is sam telker.
His cnances Of success lie In the fact that Wash
turne Is verv nearly the only good man left Of
BristOw's 10 lime, and TO make things perfectly
consistent itis ne cessary that washburne sh ould
20 out. One Of the stories circulated about
Washburne Is that he owes his place as chief of
the secret service to Whitley, the former chief.
Secretary, he sent for Whitley. and was going
to dismiss him. Whitley agreed to this, but de-
manded his right to say who should oe his sue
cessor. so that he might control the secret SER
wee division 10 spite OF Brstow. AT this Interest
Ing stage Of the game, Whitley pulleu out some
documents from up his sleeve, and brandished
them In Bristow's face. The future Ring smash
CT turned very pale, Bnd tremblingly acced I'd
TO Whitley's demand. So that, this dramatic in
cident being true. Washburne becomes the
stool pigeon OF Whitley, and as Whitley is after
Babcock. hence II behooves the Administration
to be Bfter Washhurne. This Is only one Of the
interesting rOmant es that are related to Attor-
