The letters contain repeated demands for

stamps than the money In another
letter Lee tells Kelley that he is no cheap

On March 10, 1902, Lee wrote to Kelley,
explaining the political situation in Mis-

Mistake About sellers Contract for Gloves
with Indian Bureau.

WASHINGTON. July 22.---Indian Com
missioner Jones discovered to-day that
the contract between the Government
and Sellers for gloves for the Indians does
contain the clause calling attention to the
fact that the law prohibits members Of
Congress from sharing in Government
contracts. He explained to THE sun re-
porter that the idea that the contract did
rot contain the provision arose from a
confusion of the papers and the conse-
quent examination Of the proposals sub
mitted by Sellers and not the contract
He produced tho original contract and
showed that a section Of il covered the
point raised.
He said this afternoon to a SIN reporter
that while he is no. satisfied that Repre-
sentative Littauer has no interest in the
cont ract awarded to Sellers, he does not
think he is justified as vet in making an
Investigation to determine what connection
there is bet ween Sellers and Representative

the matter TO the Secretary of the Interior

Commissioner Jones, when asked to-day
where the gloves came from that Sellers is

WON'T WORK WITH MILLER.
Union Men Prefer Charges Against Rein
stated Employee or Public Printer.

WASHINGTON, July 22.--It developed to-
day by statement Of the case filed with
Secretary Cortelyou Of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor and by formal charges
filed with Public Printer Palmer that the
members of local Union No 4 of the Inter-
national Brotherhood of Bookbinders will
not work with W. A. Miller, the recently
discharged and more recently reinstated
assistant foreman of the bindery at the
Government Printing Office. Charges af-
fecting the personal character of Mr.. Mil
Ter were presented to Secretary Cortelyou
and the Flu bic Printer to-day, supported
by affidavts, the purpose Of which was to
show that he was not fit man to remain in
the public service
As stated in THE Suns dispatches this
morning the union mon have taken the
position that no formal charges having
been preferred against Miller they regard
the action Of the President in ordering his
reinstatement Is he proper enc to pursue
under the civil service rules. They regret
that ths PuSlic Printer dismissed Miller
withc ut calling for the fling Of charges
against him, and declare that IL an oppor-
tunity had been given to present their case,
Miller's dismissal would have been found
to be perfectly regular and for the good Of
the service.
The I'll GERS Of the union and the other
members of the committee represent THAI
up to this time only one side of the case
has been submitted TO Pi esident Roose
welt. who acted merely on representations
made by Miller or his friends. and they are
confident that when the President reads
their statement and considers the affida-
Wits which they have submitted in its sup
port, he will not only acquiesce in. bur
will insist on Millers Immediate dismissal.
Talk of a strike is discouraged by the
officers and the leaders Of the union, but it
is perfectly well understood among the
members, and, in fact, among all OF the
employees of the Government Printing
Office. all Of which belong to some branch of
the Allied Trades Council, that the members
of Union No. will not work with Miller
under any circumstances. Aside from
the technical grounds upon which he was
ostensibly expelled from the union its
members declare that they will not work
with him for personal reasons.
