Boh;e Is Reticent.
United States Marshal Bohle was at his
office in the Federal building yesterday for
the nrst time III the last fortnight. The
experiences through which he has passed
during that time are evident in his changed
demeanor toward callers. as one politician
expressed 1t. lie will stand without hitch
ing"
M-. Bohie made no announcement which
could be construed into a withdrawal from
the Singie-entry race for the marshiiship.
That lie Is loosening his hold on the hope
of being reappointed and with much re-
Eret. WAS patent to every one who saw
him. Politicians who claimed to know said
that the Glscouragenents which he is meet
Ing have almost convinced even him that
his chances have gone alifImerins.
When he was asked regarding, the charges
which had been preferred. MIR. Bohle said:
81 have nothing to say at the present
time. 1 will have an answer ready pretty
soon"
Mr. Bohle refused to say whether ne had
taken Il companion with him on his trips
and charged up railroad fares for both TO
the Government.
Il have nothing to sIS," WIS all that he
would vouchsafe.
Politicians are agreed that Mr. Bohle will
not be the ne,.i Marshal. The efforts which
have been made to get the charges with
Drawn probably would have little effect on
the Presidents action. The matter has gone
too far to he dropped. Mr.. Eonle Will either
have to Establish the ute. talsity of the
accusatlo or cease drawing salary from
the Government.

new sort of game is being played by
the Republicans who are running the fac
tional fight between State Chairman Akins
and National Committeeman kercns. Feb
rii.ry Il The Young Mems Republican CLUB
will hold u banquet in KANSAS CITY. Feb

The tip has gone forth from the Aklns
camp for all VINO wish to be in the new
band wagon to stay away from the kaii-
sas City uanquet on peril of ostr;icism. Any
man who dares to countenance tho YOUNG
Mems affair Will be considered an opponent
of Roosevelt. Tho President as Is wen
known. remembers that at last years pan
quet Senator Fairbanks Of Andiana was
bUomed for Pres.d, mt.
So that any Missouri Republican who
cares to eat with National Committeeman
Kerens in Kansas City will have put hini-
self ON record. Joe Harris. recently ap-
pointed POSTMASTER IN hahsdS IiiS. VIII

None of the speakers on the programme
belong to the Akins's faction. ". -.
Hobbs of this city friend OF e. Il. Carroll

In fact there would be little reason fo- i,

the bylaws OF the club this years meeting |
