OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
President Roosevelt In Hot Water
With The Labor Vote.
Senator Hanna Makes Trouble For
The PostoIllcc Department.
From our regular correspondent.

From our regular correspondent.
WAsHiNcToS, Aug. 4th, 1908
The temerity with which Presi-
dent Roosevelt has declared that
after being run for nearly fifty years
as union Office. the Government
Printing Office is to be open
shop" that no discrimination shall
be made between union and nonun-
ion labor, is the talk OF the day in
Washington. On top of Mr.. Roose-
velrs decision to that effect, more
over, comes the news that he pro.
pose TO make an investigation of the
methods employed with a view to
securing the performance of the
work of the Public Printer on an
economical basis and the politicians
are aghast. That the President will
undoubtedly lose the labor vote is
the unanimous prediction of all that
have recently come to Washington.
III
A prominent Democratic Con-
gresham now in Washington de-
clares that the Presidents stand is
undoubtedly due to the advice of
the New York Republican politi-
clans, many of whom have visited
him at Oyster Bay, and who have
assured him that his former position
of friendliness to the unions was GO
ing to lose him the support of his
own state where the employer class
is all powerful. Mr.. Roosevelt has
decided that the Wall Street vote
will prove more valuable to him,
accompanied as it always is by gen.
erous contributions to the campaign
fund, than the labor vote, much of
which wonld be cast for the Demo.
cratic candidate when it came time
to vote is the explanation of the Re-
preventative referred to.
TT
Apparently little progress has
been made in the Postoffice investi-
CATION during the past few weeks.
Before Postmaster General Payne
left Washington, several weeks ago,
he announced that there would be
several more indictments before his
return but he is scheduled to return
next Monday and the indictments
are not yet forthcoming. Even the
arrest of Geo. w. Beavers has no,
yet been accomplished, although it
it is expected that he will be again
indicted, this time by the District
of Columbia grand jury. To-mor-
row evening the statute OF limitations
will have run on every action of
former Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Perry Heath and as there is no
indication of his prosecution it may
be safely predicted that he will es-
cape the condemnation of the
courts. As a sort OF side issue,
Charles Emory Smith, through the
columns of his Newspaper, and
Civil Service Commissioner Proctor
have started up a controversy re
garding the administration of Smith
when he was Postmaster General
which contributes considerably to
the gayety of nations. Mr.. Smith
writes virulent editorials filed with
such expressions as "gangs of liars"
etc. and assures his ingenious read
ers that his enemies are "taking to
the tall timber" but the only appre-
ciable effect of all this is to lead the
leading newspapers to deplore the
fact that Smith, after demonstrate
ing grave incapacity as Postm aster
General, should now make such ga
pitiable spectacle OF himself"

Senator Hanna's efforts to secure
for his constituents the contract for
the stone 10 be used in the new
Cleveland Postoffice, which is to
cost $1,000, 900, has resulted in SER
ious charges being brought against
Supervising Architect Taylor and in
embarrassment TO the Secretary Of
the Treasury. 1t appears that the
Ohio Senator with his usual deter
mination to have his own way,
brushed aside all considerations Of
fairness aud Of law and that Super
vising Architect Taylor lacked the
courage to say nay to the influential
Senator from Ohio. Secretary
Shaw sympathizes with Taylor for
he knows that the displeasure Of the
Ohio boss Is little short Of equiva-
lent dismissal for the clerk who in
ours il, and yet the charges brought
against Taylor are Of so serious a
nature that it will be difficult to re-
tain him in his present position. II
is impossible 70 learn the foil de
tails Of the case bat il appears that
the Senator secured the contract
for granite for Bradley & Co, Of
Of which Jacob Biedler Of Cleveland
IS president, regardless Of the fact
that the Charles McCsul Company
Of Philadelphia, had put in a bid
$4,000 lower.

PLATT, ODELL AND DtNN CONFER
One Result Is That Jake Smell VIII Get
His Wardenship ip--Dunn to Fulton.

Senator Platt had another long talk with
Gov Odell last night at the Oriental Hotel,
Conev Island, and this time the Governor
and the Senator were joined by Col George
W Dunn, chairman of the Republican
State Committee. AS a result of the talk
Senator Platt said u think it can be safely
said that Jacob Smell will be appointed
warden of Napanoch Prison
The Senator didn't say when Mr.. Smell
is to get tho appointment, and he added
that the conversation between himself
and the Governor and Col. Dunn had nothing
whatever to do with local politics. All
three have declared for Mayor Lows re-
nomination; but Thomas A. Fulton, secre-
tary Of the Citizens Union, hasn't taken
offence at these utterances in the case "
anybody but Col. Dunn Mr.. Fulton wanted
to know what business man from Bing-
hamton had to interfere in New York city
politics Col. Dunn said in reply
Il am an inhabtant Of New York State
and think have right to take an interest
in the politics OF a city which is a part Of
the State If nobody outside of the city
ia allowed to take an interest in its politics

LONDON. Sept. 2.-The Russia n-Jewish
Labor League has published secret cir
cular against Zionism. which was issued
by NJ. de Plehwe, the Minister OF the In
terror, to the Governors and Projects OF
provinces.
The Russian Government originally Ia
vored Zionism, but according TO the circu-
lar. it was induced TO change its policy
because the Zionsts departed from their
original purpose of creating Jewish state
in Palestine and are now endeavorinR
to develop a Jewish national idea. which
encourages racial differences. This is
inirncal to the assimilation Of the Jews with
other subjects of the Gar and is contrary,
therefore, to the imperial idea.
The circular accordingly, instructs the
governors and other officials to prohibit
meetings of any kind which are advertised
AZ TO be held for the promotion OF the Zionist
cause, to prevent the collection of money
for Jewish national fund. to compel
the Zionist leaders to transfer the existing
fund to the Odessa society for helping
Jewish farmers and artisans in Palestine,
70 confscate all shares Of the national
fund which are now in circulation in Russia.

10 bet with Hin,--Wanted TO Coin
Money From Tin Cans for Book makers.
n became generally known yesterday that
Policeman Max Glasgow OF the StaGg street
station, Williamsburg, had become insane
while trying to evolve q plan to beat the
races and had been sent 10 the insane asy-
lum al Flatbush He has a wife and two
children. He was appointed to the police
force fourteen years ago and WAS faithful
and well liked by his superiors.
Glasgow became infatuated with the
races few years ago. In his efforts TO
ret rieve his losses he sunk several hundred
dollars which he had saved He de-
termined to evolve a scheme to beat the
bookmakers and spent all his leisure time
in mapping out his plans, Last spring he
told his associates in the stage street sta
ton that he was on the road to prosperity
and that In week or two he would be able
to make 100000 a day. He advised his
associates to place all their bets on horses
with him, promising to each fabulous re-
turns. He said he had also perfected an
other scheme. 1t was to melt old tin cans
and have the metal conve rted into cash
to he passed on bookmakers,
In the early part Of May last he advertised
for old tin cans. On the following day
about fifty wagons filed with all kindsof
tin cans appeared at the police station.
Their drivers asked for Glasgow. II be-
came necessary to turn out the reserves
to clear away the drivers OF the vehicles:
Capt. Hayes began an investigation and
decided to put Glasgow on the sick list.
A fear that the policeman might harm
his family and perhaps himself caused
his committal to the observation ward
in the Kings County Hospital. Glasgow
continued to evolve his scheme there.
and few days ago it was decided to place
him in the asylum. His retirement from
the police force yesterday by Commits
sioncr Greene on one-thrd salary was the
first knowledge many of his friends had
OF what had happened to him.
