EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, July L. 1915.

DEAR SIR Through the press learn that
the committee of Congress investigating whis-
ky frauds have summoned you as witness, and
that you, with great prop-iety, as think, have
declined to testify, claiming that what occurs
in Cabinet, or between a member of the Cabi-
net ard the Executive officially, is privileged,
and that a committee of Congress have no
right to demand answer. ! appreciate the po-
sition you have assumed on this question, but
beg to relieve you from all obligation of secrecy
on this subject, and desire not only that you
may answer all questions asked relating to it,
but wish that all mem beers OF my Cabinet and
ex-members of my Cabinet since have been
President may also be called upon to testify in
regard to the same matter.
With great respect, your obedient servant,

that sun he too may go to pieces, and then and
not Til-den will Blanton breathe easy.

Court Items.

No business was done in the courts yes
terday.
As appears by the Mobile Tribune, Judge
Bruce, district judge, sitting in the United
States Circuit Court rendered two impor.
tant decisions.
In the case Of Daniel N. Stanton ct al. W.

pany, he directs the purchasing bond
holders to pay all moneys, previously re-
quired by the court, into court by Septem-
Der l, 1876. with interest, and, on default,
two special masters in chancery are di
rected to put the road up for sale, in &C
cordance with the decree Of August 4, 1874
In re schooner S. G. King, the claims were
s22lO and she sold for $3.50. A third party
with claim for supplies furnished at Pas
cagoula, not her home port, asked for judg-
ment on the lien and on mortgage taken.
Judge Bruce decided the mortgage was not
a maritime lien and decreed the amount
should be paid in the following order;
Fret, seamen's wages, and court costs;
second, material, men, pro rata.

A Detroit Centennial.

Detroit celebrased-you bet your house
and lot she did. As specimen OF bow she
celebrated. take, for instance, the Hamer-
lin family. Early in the morning the Old
GENT fell from second story window while
putting out a flag, broke three flower pots
and a rib, and lemonade, doctors, brandy,
sky rockets and the declaration OF indie
pendence were all tangled up around his
house all day. Then his wife fell down
the back stairs while hurrying to caution
Johnny not to shoot crackers IN the oven.
She didn't break any bones, but she
couldn't holler for liserty half "a much
as she wanted to. The boy John held
one fire cracker in his mouth, while
he shot off another on a hitchlng-post
Owing to some misunderstanding, the
two went off together, and then John went
off. He didn't say much with his mouth
during the rest of the day. A younger son
fooled around with some loose powder IN
the morning, went out to cool his bllsters IN
the afternoon, and was brought home to
supper with hole in his leg. Mr.. Hamer-
Inns grown-up daughter didn't meet with
any accident of any account. Some one hit
her in the ear with torpedo, and strange
boy fired shotgun go close to her other ear
that when any one now addresses her she
puts her hand up and remarks:
"Hey! What ju sayl Speak little louder,
if you please" :.
it won't be month before the Hamerlin
family will be as good as new, and, as be
yesterday remarked:
"Why. it's worth $4,000 to leave 6

The River and HarbOr Appropriation Bill.

The River and HarbOr Appropriation Bill
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald gives the following ex-
PLANTATION of the action of the Senate Com
mlttee On Appropriations on this important
measure:
The river and harbor bill, as reported to
the Senate yesterday from the Senate Com
mittee on Appropriations is q bombshell IN
the Democratic camp. The bill was passed
by the House good while ago-lu fact 1t
was among the very first CT the important
bills passed by that body, but it was kept
back in the Senate committee room until
the Democrats had committed themselves
to the policy of retrenchment in other and
more important measures The river and
harbor bill is one in which every Congress
man must get inserted, at the risk of per-
sonal popularity, an appropriation for
every stream and inlet, little or great.
within the boundaries of his "deestrick."
Failing this. he may say adieu to- his
hopes for further Congressional hon
ors. What was the dismay of the aver
age Congressman this morning, therefore,
when he learned that the Senate had fired
out" all the little two penny appropriations
of this kind, enlarged the allowance to a
few of the more important rivers and har-
bOrs and at the same time effected reduc-
ton of many millions IN the Houses own
bill. A very ugly dilemma, as it will be
seen, was presented by this action of
the Senate. The virtuous sticklers for
retrenchment in the treasury clerks
salaries and fast mail expenses must either
face the wrath of their constituents on the
eve of nominating conventions by ascent
ing to this obviously proper economy or 60
upon tho record as inconsistent and insin-
cere. The Senate waited until this late day
to make cha point against their opponents.
ami good deal of amusement is afforded
by the predicament the latter are in.
Appropriations for thu following improve
nents have been stricken from the bill:
For work in Cypress bayou, Sabine pass,
Trinity river, Pass Covello and Arkansas
pase. Texas; and Pascagoula bay, Missis-
sippi. The appropriation for the mouth OF
the Mississippi river is increased from
$1,000 to $50 600.

The Brynnt Vase.

The vase presented to William Cullen
Bryaut-ppet, historian and i0urnalist-cn
the occ aston of his eightetn birthday, is
thus described il the New York Times:
The vase is made OF solid silver. 1t is
covered with fret work formed OF apple
branches and blossoms, beneath which are
the primrose and amaranth. The body OF
the vase displays elaborate medallions
of the poet, presenting prominent fea-
lures Of his life. The principal of these
is the portrait bust. Above his head 10
tie lyre, symbolizing his art; below the
printing press, suggesting his work as
a journalist, and below that Is the
water fowl, a reminder OF the poem
of that name. On the opposite sides OF the
vase are two female figures representing
poetry and nature. Between thee Two
Chief medallions on either side are two
lesser medslIions, representing scenes IN
the poets life. The first group represents
him with bis father, who points 70 home as
model Of poetic construction. The next
represents him a student OF nature as he
appears il "Thanatopsis The third Illus
| trates his life as journalist, and TIE
fourth represents him as the translator OF
H1iners "Il vi" and Odyssey" The
lower part of the bowl is Ornamented with
cotton and Indian corn, staples OF AneTi-
can agricuttl are, and Uha neck Is encic-
cled with The primrose anL IVY. Inc
line, Truth crushed to earth shall rise
again" forms a border inland in gold. At
| the foot of the bowl is the water lily, eym-
bolic OF eloquence. The handles are deco
rated with the fern, cotton, Indian corn and
| q bobolink. The base Of the vase bears the
| Tyre, the crossed pens and the broken
ehackies, representing the poet ~ the
| emancipator. The vase il a chef dGurre
! in the siiyersmith's art. 1t ia made oy the
repousss process, and all the delicate lines
OF the medallion and the fretwork are wcr-
dertully clear and inselligible. The vase
| was much admired. Mr.. Bryant has con-
sented to allow the vase to be exhibited in
! the centennial art gallery.

How Captain Henry was Wounded.

A late letter from Fort Fetterman mar
rates the following incidents of General
Crooks recent battle on the Rosebud. The
letter is from DR.. McGillicuddy, staff sur
ge0n:
We had nine soldiers and eight of our
Crow scouts killed and twenty-tcur of our
soldiers wounded. Fourteen scalps were
taken from the Sioux by the Crows, but it
is not known how many of the Sioux were
killed and wounded. The fight lasted four
hours. Captain Henry, of the cavalry, one
of our bravest officers, while leading 8
losing his nose by riflo ball. He fell from
his horse and the Sioux surrounded him to
scalp him, but our Crow Indians rescued
him. The Crows fought bravely. In the
midst of the fight two of the soldiers be-
came separated from their comrades and
surrounded by the Sioux. They were fool
ishly threw down their arms and surren-
dered, and the Sioux Immediately scalped
and literally cut them to pieces in the pres
enee Of the command. The Crows, seeing
this butchery, made a dash and captured
two Sioux whom they scalped, cut off their
arms and left them to die. This is sample
of frontier Indian fighting The two sol
diers must have been raw recruits. not used
to Indian fighting, or they would have blown
their own heads off sooner than be captured,
for Indians never give quarter. General
Crook returned to the supply camp with
his killed and wounded, and the wagon
train is on Its way ia with the wounded
and will be here by Thursday or Friday, go
that l shall have busy times at the hos
pital. Mrs. Captain Henry has been tele-
graphed for to Cheyenne and will come
here and meet her husband, who l expect
will have severe time.

While underneath it glistened.

To loose me from my prison;

What brought the peach buds sw cling
From ont their birchen dwelling!
The gong Of blue birds won them,
Fresh music, peu' ed upon them,
In bl DOm is overlooking:
The blush and perfume showing
That life is richer, better,

Oh, loving soul.fresh faces,

Oh, lives with beauty trimming,
Glad in the heavens near hymnipg.

Needs all your bursting splendor,
Soft lights and murmnrs tender.

week young man stood in front Of Canal
street store intently gazing at pictures, as
were several other persons. Two Or three
of the crowd suddenly turned up their
noses, as if scenting disagreeable smell,
and they slyly looked around to learn the
cause. The haiti rim of the first young IN N
was smoking, spark of fire having acct
dentally dropped on it, of which fact the
owner was unconscious. When informed
of the situation the man angrily asked why
somebody had not informed him earlier. A

that he had quietly watched the sml ka,
