WHAT [ HEAR.

The most pleasing building to the eye
in this city is Dan Freeman new edifice
on the corner of Sixth and Main. 1t pre-
sents simplicity, lightness, graceful
ness and purity of architectural features
which is refreshing. The observer will
notice that it stands the test of good
taste in architecture; there is not de-
tail, not an ornament but which is there
for some practical purpose. The build
ing is model; those versed in architec-
ture pronounce it the purest. most
pleasing specimen OF that art in the city.

always signed himself sd. Freeman :"
no one ever calls him "Dan" when

There is something humorous about
calling him by diminutive A po]v-
syllable would not be commensurate
with his size or his capacity for good
fellowship.

There are rumors political flying thick
already. Two give for what they are
worth. One is that Col. H. G. Otis
is candidate, or his friends are urging
his candidacy, for the position of dis
trict delegate to the next national Re-
publican convention.
The other is that political love feast
was held at Governor Markham's house
in Pasadena last week, at which the
candidacy of Gen. E. p. Johnson as
a Republican nominee for congress was
discussed, and an arrangement was pro-
posed by which the Lindley and Hazard
factions were to unite on the general.

There is a company of negro members
of the Salvation army whose singing is
something worth hearing. They parade
and wear uniforms, and kick up row
on the streets just the same as their
white brothers, but they can sing, sweet
lly and with harmony. The white MEM
bers OF the army can sing all around a
tune without even touching it.

Yours truly,
E. j. TURNER, M. @.

In concluding this case we have a
few words Of a personal character to
add. After the first publication Of
the Turner letter President McGrath
published what he denominated his
defense, in which he charged us with
very unworthy motives in the part in
which we took in the affair. In his
testimony also he says some things
not justified by the facts. We have
mRdeno defense against these charges,
although we could, Of course, have
done so through The ADVOCATE with
out asking the privilege from any one.
We believed the charges and state
ments made were made hastily, in-
considerably and under the excite
ment caused by preceding events, and
we further believed that they would
not be credited by the people in whose
interests we have been laboring. The
only reference we desire to make TO
these things at the present time is
that they are entirely without foun-
dstion, as we are able to show at any
time 70 the satisfaction Of all parties
who may be interested. One other
fact should be stated here. We were

@. Doctor, want TO hear from you
farther about comparing these letters
these reported Turner lettersS
A, Well, we all compared the letters

believed chat tho letters were In the same

ing Of the matter
9. You go ahead and tell all you can
about the comparing Of themY
A. / do not know that there was any
difference Of opinion In regard to the
authorship Of the letters. McGrath
stated that the first letter was In answer
10 some questions that ne had asked
Turner regarding some railroad business,
and l think they all agreed that the two
letters we're In the same handwriting.
Q. What was said about the publlca-
tion Of the lettersP
Defendent objects as It is tho same
statement that was made before. After
some discussion on part OF Codding and
PntheF II was agreed that the date Of
this testimony was to appear on the rec
ords as January IA, 1901.
A. Well in our conversation In the
forenoon I have already stated the con-
versatiOn, / believe that we felt like this;
That we did not want anyt hing to occur
that would cause suspicion to rest on
McGrath or his name and we felt that II
no was willing 10 submit the letter for
publication with his denial at that time il
would relieve our minds of that suspic
ion. The objection seemed to be that he
did not want the letter published with
bis denial. ! have stated that, believe,
that he did not wish to make any denial
at chat time.

from tlle IOlor.
During the meeting Of the National
Council Of state presidents at Washing
ton last week, as will be seen from the
proceedings below, President McGrath
asked for an investigation Of the charges
against him, that he had entered into an
agreement with Congressman Turner TO
assist him In securing support for a seat
In the United States Senate In case John
]. Ingalls, could not be elected The
committee went to the capitol, hunted
up Congressman Turner and with Brother
McGrath went into room and ques-
toned Mr. Turner as to whether he ever
had any lntimatiOn from Brother Nc
Grath either in person, by letter or
through friends, that he would help him
or anyone else in the Senatorial fight.
Mr.. Turner stated to the committee posi-
lively that no had not and completely
exonerated Brother McGrath from any
completely whatever. See the proceed
ings below and Mr.. Turner's letter:
When the council met again M. Nc
GrSth arose TO question OF personal
privilege. He stated that certain re-
ports had been circulated and published
In the public press in which he was rep
resented as participating in a scheme TO
elect certain man as United States
Senator FROM Kansas, and that bis con-
nnntlnh with the nnhamn had haan
