FOSTER 10 FITCH.
Correspondence over tho Examination Of
John I. Davenport.

Correspondence over the Ex I'M miuation Of
John I. Davenport
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Secretary of the
Treasury Foster has sent q letter to Con
gressman Fitch, of New York, chairman
of the committee investigating the work
inRs of the Federal Election laws 1t is
part of the correspondence that has been
in progress for some days over the exam
iration OF the accounts of Chief Super
visor John l. Davenport, of New York.
The Secretary says that he does not de-
sire to continue the correspondence now
that they quite understand each other on
the law in question. He takes it that
Mr.. Fitch is satisfied that ne has right
to appear in court whom Mr.. Davenport
presents his accounts and resist their al
lowance il any illegal charges are made
therein against the United States.
Also, that Mr.. Fitch Is equally well
satisfied that under the ruling of the
Supreme Court in the Jones case, there
is at least a serious doubt about the right
of the Treasury Department to review
such accounts after they have been al
lowed by the Circuit Court, except in
case of clear and unequivocal mistakes.
"Under such circumstances, says the
Secretary, 81 respectfully submit it is
part Of prudence and wisdom to resort to
the courts in the first instance. II, after
the hearing, you shall be of the opinion
that further inquiry is demanded, or re-
qulred to protect the United States,
will listen with great pleasure to any
suggestions you may see fit to make
looking to that end and to the end that
any further relief that shall be in my
power may be granted"

Up to the present time the young expert has
contested nineteen games at the Manhattan and
lost but one, and that to Mr.. A. b. Hodges,
who is also quite a young man and the cham
pion Of the state Of New York. There was great
excitement at the club over the brilliant man
ner in which Mr.. Hodges captured the game.
1t was a well-deserved victory, though as after
ward demonstrated Mr.. Lasker had theoreti-
cally better game than his adversary at the
twenty-fifth move, and had ne exercised a little
more discretion at that stage would have proba-
