hands of the president for more than ten
DAYS does not mean that he will re-
main two wears longer Several incidents
contribute against the immediate removal
of Thompson The Terre Haute post
office trouble occurred while the president
was about to consider the Indianapolis
case. The Terre Hauts affair was magnl-
fed by the press outside of Indiana. Then
followed two lynchings in Indiana within
week which gave the eastern papers
more material to howl about lswlessness.
Other western states like Illinois. Mis-
souri, and Ohio. which are claiming all the
offices, have taken advantage OF the sit
uation to prejudice the administration
against Indiana. western represe nta-
tive of national reputation, for example,
is reporting around here that be went
through Ierre Haute on the day Postmss
ter Donham took possession OF his Office,
and that the city was under mob rule;
that 1T was an outrage tor Postmaster
Donham to turn a man out OF Office at
noon" etc. Yet the postmaster-general
approved the action of Mr.. Donham. lie
was right.
II is believed hero that the president

covered from the late sensational episodes.
which have been msgnified by the outside
press of both parties This Is the reason
why the pOstoffices OF indianapolis,
Evansville and RockDOrt are still in pos
session of the repub licans notwithstand-
ing that q democratic admlnlstra-
ton has been In power three months.
Statements have been sent out from
Washington TO the Indianapolis papers
that no charges had been filed against
Thompson, and that the Indianapolis peo-
pie were being deceived. These stories
are based upon the fact that Mr.. Bynum
has filed the papers with the postofhce
department in the Indianapolis case. But
il must be understood that Mr.. Bynum
has no more to do with the postotfice IN
Indianapolis than Mr.. Brookshire had
with the Terre Haute office Ii has been
an unwritten law for generations that the
senator controls the postotfice appoint
Inents in his own town when in accord
with the administration.
Mr.. Brookshire did not file single sheet
in the Terra Haute case, AMI had he done
so it would have been considered bad
taste. Mr. Bynum cheerfuly yielded TO
Senator Turpis the Indianapolis post
office Senator Voorhees, alone took charge
full in having the republican postmaster
removed. senator Turpie is managing
the Indianapolis case. and while it is none
of Mr.. Bynum's business, still he is
willing 10 assist the junior sem
R;Or But Senator Turpie has been
handicapped by the activity OF Thomp-
sons friend, Lucius 3. Swift. Il will be re-
msmbered that when the announcement
was made that Thompson would have to
90, Albert Sahm came out in a long inter
view In one of the Indianapolis evening
papers deploring the contemplated re-
moval. saying that Mr.. Thompson ought
out, two more years. that he
would be willing to wait, etc.
This interview was sent TO the president.
and "a Mr.. Sahm's application was in
dorSed by Senator Turpie, II Is easy to i'm
hgine its effect. 1t lie believed here that
the Sahm interview more than anything
else contributed to delaying the case.
But Senator Turpie Is making good fight
and will eventually win and land Mr..
Sshm in Thompson's chair.

PRINCESS EULALIE's PICTURE TAKEN.
After which She Goes to the Treasury De-
partment and other Points of Interest.
Princess Eulalie had her photograph
taken this morning, and she was delighted
with the experience, as old as IT has
grown to her. After her morning chocO-
late, the infanta at.ired herselfin q won
derful gown OF fluffy stuff. the neck cut V
shape. She wore no i i. About her
shoulders was thrown a wide scarf
of China silk reminiscent Of the rain
bow, so delicatelv shaded were
its colors. Commander Davis and the
maTchioness of Arco- Hsrmosa accom-
panied the infanta to the photograph gal
Iery in = closed carriage. while Prince
Antoine and the duke Of Tamames went
walking. Commander Davis did not wear
his uniform. The prince wore a light
epring suit with russell shoes and a straw
hat. The infanta reached the pho
tographer's shortly after 10 o'clock
and spent nearly an hour there.
Several negatives were taken and
the princess took the liveliast interest in
the process. On their return TO the
Arlington, the ROYAL party took breakfast
and spent a quiet two hours until
o'clock, when they were driven to the
treasury department Secretary Carlisle
received them and acted az escort through
the money vaults. The women were the
more strenuous in their efforts to see
her royal highness. They brushed aside
the men in trying TO reach the
grated doors. IT was the infanta's first
experience with a crowd Of American wo-
men and she enjoyed it. A look of sur
prise passed over Eulalie's face at first,
and then, impulsively. she walked over 70
the grating, and nodding her head briskly
and with her face wresthed in smiles
talked in English to her American adj
miTeTs.
How do you do?" she said. You are
very, very good. / thank you so much.
It's good to be here for you are very kind.
/ like America. like the American peo-
pie. l like you all. Thank you. Good.

And then she passed on to the next
door and talked with the people there,
while chorus of "Oh, isn't she lovely
isn't she sweet" went up from the recipi.
ents of her pleasant remarks. After the
infanta had seen all that was TO be seen
she came into the corridor again on ths
way to the carriage. leaning on the arm
OF Secretary Carlisle. The crowd, grown
larger by half. pressed closely about her
and made it difficult for Secretary Car
isles messenger, Richard Green, to make
q passage way.
Good by, good-by." cried the infanta to
