Senator Hanna Denounces the Story
Concerning His Brothers. Yacht.

CLEVELAND, o., July Ex-senator
Hanna was to-day shown a copy of the
speech of Representative James Hamilton
Lewis. which was printed in the Congress
sional Record, and in which it was charged
that Mr.. Hanna's brother had sold a yacht
worth $4,000 to the government for $1O2, 600
and in which it was charged that Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt had been forced to re-
tire from the department because he pro
tested against the infamy.'
Senator Hanna denounced the charge as
''libelous lie" He said his brother offered
the yacht Comanche to the government not
as a speculation, but because the govern
ment wanted to buy such boats. The CO.
manche cost $4,000. A board of naval ex-
perts appointed by Mr. Roosevelt appraised
the boat at $4,000 and it was sold for that
sum.
