NEWSPAPER MEN QUIT
THE IROQUOIS CLUB
Object to Secretary's Method
Of Soliciting Funds.
APPEAL TO PROMINENT MEN
Some Responded by Sending Checks.
Request Based on Plea That Jour
nalists Composed the Club.

Nearly all Of the newspaper CORE
spondents who were members OF the
Iroquois Club have resigned from the or
ganization because Of the action Of Sec
rotary Wells in soliciting funds from
wealthy persons upon the plea that the
club was composed of newspaper men
and was IN debt The club was organ
lied about eighteen months ago. and W.
J. Wells was installed as secretary and
manager. II fitted up handsome quar-
tiers, and many prominent men. includ-
ing upwards of forty members Of the
Senate and House, General Miles, Rear
Admiral schley. Major General Haywood.
and several other prominent officers OF
the army and navy affiliated with 1t. aud
participated in it's entertainments.
From the first It became apparent that
the club could not be conducted exclu-
sively as a newspaper organization. and
men in other professions than journalism
were admitted TO it's membership. The
club has been in fairly comfortable cir
cumstances and reasonably prosperous.
50 far as any reports TO the board Of di-
rectors have been made.
Senator Scott's Check.
Recently. however, 1t is said. Secre-
tary Wells has solicited aid from wealthy
persons upon the claim that the club was
composed OF newspaper men and was in
debt. Senator Scott of West Virginia
was one Of those OF whom aid was
sought. He drew his check for 500. but
before sending it his Secretary, John L.
Steele, an old newspaper man. made an
investigation. with the result that when
the action of Secretary Wells became
known 10 the newspaper men in the club
they rendered their designations. Mr..
Wells is understood to assume the re-
sponsibility for the request for as
sistance.
The officers. Of the club. elected about
six months ago. are we'll known in
Washington. Major General Haywood.

was until recently its president. He
rendered his resignation, not because OF
any trouble in the club, but because Of
the fact that upon his retirement within
a few weeks he intends to take up his
residence in New York

ton for funds" said General Haywood

tend to live in New York. The club
has an excellent membership, and so
far as I was advised was not in debt
TO the point OF embarrassment. When
l last saw the books the financial con-
dition OF the club was good. II has
membership of about 225. and so far
as I know only a very few are delin-
quent. II would seem that this mem
bership ought to maintain It, I sin
cerely hope the matter will be salts
faetorily adjusted and the club will
prosper. Although I was obliged TO
resign as president I am still interested

Hon. Henry C. Payne. Postmaster Gen

"sir:~1n view Of the partial publication
of the letter Of Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow on the so-called
Tulloch charges and of the accompany
ing reports or inspectors made TO him in
1899 and 1900. l deem it incumbent on
me for right public understanding to
make further statement. supplement
tary 70 my letter OF May q. and to pre-
sent the papers in their proper relation.
''It viii be seen that the Tulloch state
ment and the inspectors report are
practically identical At many points
the language is exactly the same It is
as II they were written by the same
hand. The Tulloch statement was sub
mitted 10 me. The Inspectors report
was submitted to the Fourth Assistant
II was the business OF the inspector to
find whatever seemed TO call for expIa-

regular were examined ard q report was

Points Summed Up.
These main points may be thus
summed up. each in a sentence: First.
names OF military postal clerks were
put on the general roll till the military
appropriations became available: then
they were transferred 20 the military
roll Second. the bond premiums OF
military postal clerks were paid for
good reasons which are plainly set
forth and which had the approval OF the
comptroller. Third. the purchase Of
Porto Rico supplies were made from
the regular department contractors
named under competition and at regular
contract prices. Fourth. the vouchers
Tor expenses OF department officials

lease OF the Washington postoFlce was
shown to be entirely justified sixth.

items relating to appointments, incIud-

Comments on Similarity of
Charges in Tulloch Letter
and in Bristow Report.
VIII Reply Later to Proc
ter Charges.

Charles Emory Smith, former Post
master General, made public this morn
Ing his answer 10 the report of J. L.
BristOw, Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General. on the condition of affairs IN
the Washington pOstohice during Mr..
Smiths term as Postmaster General
Mr.. Smith attempts to explain or excuse
all OF the Irregularities which were
pointed out by Mr.. Bristow and seems
to think that he was harshly treated by
having the facts set forth so plainly.
Dir. Smith promises another letter
which Will deal with the report of the
Civil Service Commission on the Wash
inFton irregularities. Ho adds that he
will treat the report of Inspector Little
on the same subject in a different man
ner.
Mr.. Smiths Chief Excuse.
The main point in Mr. Smiths defense
is not brought out until near the end.
There he explains that his commission
ss Postmaster General went into effect
tho very day that war was declared
with Spain, ans before he had an oppor-
tunity TO familiarize himself with the
most general routine Of his position he
was forced to evolve a system of pro-
viding mail for the 250.O troops who
were in the field and also TO provide
mail facilities for the islands When the
war began there was no special appro-
priation for handling soldiers mail and
money had TO be used for that purpose
from the general fund. Later. after an
appropriation was made, the special ap-
preparation had to be used to recoup the
general appropriation in order that the
service for the country at large might
not suffer.
Mr.. Smith explains that the Bristow
report calls for reply on his part, in
asmuch as he had a report made to him
at the time the Tulloch charges were
first made. four years ago. This report.
he states. explained TO his satisfaction
nearly all OF the incidents on which
the charges were based. The letter in
full is as follows:

that there is small pox in that city
but two new cases were discovered
yesterday and five persons we're ar.

there and regards the situation suffi-
GENTLY serious as to begin active et-
forts to rid the place of the disease
If possible. This situation should be
known by the people of clarksburg

Of this city should be careful not to
expose themselves, and the best pre-
caution they can take is to stay away
from there. The disease has existed
there some time, and it seems to be
spreading. The situation may soon
become, if it has not already, such as
to demand a quarantine against Graf

We have hitherto avoided COMPLAINTS;
and have written such matter only,
as We had thought would make agree
able reading for the average citizen.
But now We feel impelled to protest
against that nuisance, the whistling
idiot, who will monopolize a whole
public thoroughfare with his ear
piercing. discordant sounds. 1t would
take the graphic pen Of Hugo to
depict adequately, the full amount Of
suiIerng-the nervous rack - the
shock to the syStem-and the annoy
ance caused by the whistling idiot,
who 50 rmpudently intrudes himself
upon the feeble, the sick and nervous
old people who pass along the
way. Still, an obtuse policeman
will often be seen to smile upon the
whistlIng idiot; when OF all the hide
Gus noises of the street, that assail the
ear, that made by the whistliug idiot
is the hardest to bear, because it is
the most intrusive; especially is this
the case with that strenuous, ear
splitting kind that is evidently made
with the design to annoy. We know
a delivery boy for grocery store,
whom We try to avoid, for his ear
piercing whistle, which he indulGes
in, from start to finish, IS very obnox-
ious. We certainly never buy any
thing at that store, anc there may be
Others, who avoid the place fora sim
liar reason. Likewise, we know a bar
Der shop, centrally located, where
one Of the attendants will sit in
front and whistle most outrageously,
interspersed with cat calls-but we
never patronize that shop as We do
others, where things are conducted
more respectfully.
We have authority in literature for
calling the whistler, ian idiot:" for in
DrydenS Simon and Iphigenia, he
writesi |
HE trudged along unknown what
he sought,
And whIstled as he went, for want Of
thought"
And surely one without thought
may be properly styled IAN idiot"
Now il there is any way by means
Of which this whistling idiot could be
suppressed, it would afford immense
relief to the sick, and the suffering
who pass along the highways.
