DENIED BY JUDGE SCOTT.
4 Charge That He Is "A Non-Resident
of the District.

Those who oppose the appointment of
Charles F. Scott, one of the Police Court
judges, as a Commissioner OF the District,
10 succeed Mr.. Wight. advance as a reason
the argument that he is not a resident of
the District. In this connection it is
alleged that his legal residence is at Ken
sington. Md.
The law on this point states that the
appointee must have been an actual resi-
dent Of the District for at least three
years next previous to his appointment.
When asked about the matter yesterday,
Judge Scott said he was qualified TO fill
the position. He has been an actual resi-
dent of the District he stated, for more
than three years, and during that time
has held commissions to three District
offices. At present, he said he is resid-
ing at Kensington, but he is doing so on
account of his wife's health, she having
been advised 10 go there by her physician.
He stated that he never attempted TO ex-
ercise the right of citizenship in Maryland.

About Claude VI. johnson.
The report that the resignation of
Claude NJ. Johnson, Director of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing, had been
asked for by the Secretary of the Treas
ury was yesterday called TO the attention
OF Secretary Gage. The Secretary seemed
much surprised and stated that, so far as
he was aware, Mr.. JohnsOn's resignation
had not been asked for nor had it been
rendered.
The leaders Of organized labor in the
District have for several years been COM
planning of the treatment members of la
Dor unions have received at the hands Of
Mr.. johnson, and more than once have
they lodged complaints against him. both
with the Secretary OF the Treasury and
with the President 1t was alleged in
these complaints that he Disseminated
against the members OF organized labor
The fight against Mr.. Johnson, however,
began when he introduced printing ma
chimes into the bureau.
For many months, 1t is stated. Mr.. John
son refused even TO give the labor leaders
an audience. Within the last week or so.
however. he has called upon some of the
men prominent in local labor circles and
asked that certain of the labor unions en-
dorse his administration of affairs at the
Bureau OF Engraving and Printing.
1t is claimed by friends of Mr.. johnson
that in the event that he does tender his
resignation IL will be due to other causes
than troubles with organized labor.

Presidents Letter of Accept
ance to Issue Monday.
Strongest Presentation Repub-
lican Issues Yet Made.
DEFENDS HIS COURSE.
No Attempt to Dodge Question
of Imperialism.
Comes Out Strong For Mainte-
nance of Gold Standard.

New York, Sept. S.--A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
President McKinIey's letter of accept
ance which is to be published Monday
is said by members of the administers
ton to be the strongest presentation OF
the Republican side OF the issues OF the
present campaign that has yet appeared
The president has not sought to avoid
the question of Imperialism. Much OF
his letter is devoted to the issue raised
by his administration of the islands
wrested from Spain. He shows what
has been done in the way of improving
political conditions in these islands.
Attention is called to the steps that
have been taken toward the establish
ment of a stable and Independent gov
ernment in Cuba. The establishment Of
a civil government in Porto Rico in ac-
cordance with the act of congress, and
the institution of civil government in
the Philippines under the Philippins
commission are referred to. Another
theme to which much attention is given
in the letter is the prosperity of the
country under the present tariff and
monetary systems This brings UP the
financial issue which the president
is said to take a firm stand in support
of the maintenance of the gold standard
as essential to the continuance of the
present commercial and Industrial pros
perity of the country.

dressing an audience composed almost
wholly of FIollanders and their descend

Governor Roosevelt was born
Dutchman.'' In acknowledging this sally

with:
MY fellow Dutchmen." This set the
crowd cheering and some of the old set
tiers yelled Dutch salutes and Roosevelt
responding said:
'.The chairman of your Republican
state committee came from the Dutch
stock The Republicans of Minnesota
