REPUBLICAN EDITORS At
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
President Sleicher's Address on
the Power of the Mere Talker to
Do Incompatible Harm.
SECRETARY TAFT'S TALK

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The second
nual convention of the National Repub-
lican Editorial Association began at the Ar
lington Hotel, this city, tonight, and will
last two days. John A. Sleicher, of New
York, editor of Leslie's Weekly and presi-
dent of the association, opened the meeting.
In his annual address he declared tie
twentieth century to be 'the age of the
newspapers, the universal educator, the up
hitter of mankind Everyone hears and
talks" he said; few see the doer. We
wonder how a shallow demagogue. equip
ped only with the gift of silver tongue
and boundless assurances, could mislead
the public. divert great political party
from its traditional principles and compel
IL 20 indorse financial and economic hereses
that seem more and more grotesque as time
goes by"
1t Is the mission OF newspapers, he said.
and OF their editors, to prevent the de-
ception Of the unthinkins people by men of
this class. whom he declared to be Incidental
to every American epoch.
There were short addresses by ex-Gov-
srnor Frank s. Black, of New York, and
Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew, after which
Secretary OF War Taft was introduced to
the editors by President Sleicher as the
philippine Issue" The secretary took ad-
vantage OF the opportunity to refute some
of the statements about the alleged I'M
healthy conditions in the islands. He said
the editors could help the American gov
eminent In the Philippines by denying the
lies circulated about the terrible climate
there. He spoke of the necessity for Amer
lean capital and American citizens in the
islands and that that what is needed to
make success certain there Is the presence
Of desirable Americans
The convention adjourned at $50 to at
tend the Presidents reception at the White
House.

c, B, LORENz TELLS OF
MONEY TRANSACTIONS
Explains the Passage of Checks
and Drafts Between Himself
and Machen.
REBUFF FOR CONRAD

WASHINGTON Feb. 4-George z.
Lorenz was on the witness stand in the
postal trial most of to-day. He produced
a number of drafts, checks and sight drafts
which passed between Machen and himself
and declared that they were all in payment
of his note for $4,000. which he gave
Machen when the latter, in 1893, assigned
his interest in the oil properties. He gave
a detailed statement of the value of these
properties and of the indebtedness of the
companies to the Ketcham National Bank
of Toledo. He also produced an original
entry book covering a running account be-
tween himself and Machen and pointed out
various credits made therein on account
of the note. Settlements with Machen, he
said, were made annually, the note finally
being Cancelled as paid on Dec 16, 1903 All
the money transactions, he said, between
Machen and himself referred to by the gov
eminent related solely to this indebtedness
to Machen. When the money commenced
Lorenz said that he determined 10 turn over
TO Machen one-half of his profits in the
fastener. This he did, he testified, until he
became pressed for money and then he sent
Machen only what he could spare and when
he became easier financially Machen again
got his remittances as on previous occa-
sions.
Just before the recess Mr.. Conrad pro-
voked a heated argument by requesting
the court to instruct Mr.. Lorenz not to talk
10 anyone. not even his counsel during the
lunch hour. The court denied the request
Mr.. Douglas, of counsel for defense, Vigor-
ously resented what he said reflection
on him and his associates and called at
tentiOn to the fact that in all the history
of the District courts this was the first
time any such request had been made.
President Carr, of the National Bank of
Commerce, which succeeded the Ketcham
National Bank, testified to the dealings of
his bank with Machen and Lorenz in con-
nection with the oil properties

BY PRESIDENTS ORDER
United States Marshal, Deputy
and Constable Removed, and

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-Acting upon
recommendations OF the attorney general,
which were based on an Investigation of
the charges against certain officials under
the Department of Justice in the Indian
Territory. the President has removed from
office Benjamin F. Hackett, United States
marshal Of the central district Of the Ter
ritory, and his successor will be instructed
not 10 retain as deputies Frank S. Genung,
T. p. Hackett. J. E. Emerett, T. F. Dona-

Of the southern district, will be directed to
dismiss Deputy Marshals George T. Gates
and Oscar Wilkinson. The investigation
also resulted IN the removal OF Deputy
Marshal ]. c. Rogers and Constable II. L.
Rogers, OF the northern district.
The charges against Marshal Hackett
were incompetence and failure TO punish
his subordinates for misconduct, particu-
larry In permitting the escape of one Short,
indicted for manslaughter. Deputies Ge-
nung, T. p. Hackett, j. Z. Emerett and
Jail Physician Wilson were the persons in
volved In this escape. The other deputies
dismissed were guilty OF drunkenness, per-
hitting prisoners TO escape. and violating
the law concerning the introduction OF in
toxicants into the Territory.
The charges made by Mr.. BroSius, agent
OF the Indian Rights Association, were
each fully Investigated so far as they In
volved officers under the Department OF
Justice and il was found that such officers
were connected with land companies, but the
particular companies. with one exception,
were not found TO be dealing IN leases OF
Indian allotments. The one company was,
IL Is said. making rather unconscionable
terms with allotters but the connection Of
officers under the department which long
since terminated was not found TO be such
as 10 warrant dismissal from Office. The
principal charge by Mr.. Brosius related to
this matter of imposition upon the Indians.

EbENEzER HILL SEEMS
JEALOUS OF H. H. HANNA
Accuses the Indianapolitan of
Flirting with the Goddess of
Free Silver.
QUEER CHARGE IS MADE

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. A serious charge
has been made against Hugh H. Hanna, of
indianapolis, chairman of the Monetary
commission, and who started the movement
which resulted in the gold-standard legis-
lation few years ago. 1t is alleged that
Mr.. Hanna is flirting with the goddess Of
free silver. Circumstantial evidence Is
cited in support of this allegation. Repre-
sentative Ebenezer Hill, of Connecticut is
the witness. He opposed the amendment
providing an appropriation of 100000 to en-
able the monetary commission to continue
its effort to induce foreign countries to
agree upon uniform rate of exchange, on
the ground that it was a step in the direc-
ton of bimetallism. While he did not say
so directly, Mr.. Hill intimated that Messrs
Hanna, Conant and jerks were arch-con-
spirators, and that they had designs on the
gold standard. The Connecticut member is
the seif-appointed protector of the gold
standard. He proposes to save it even
from its friends. "A few years ego" said
a member of the House committee on
banking and currency, Mr.. Hanna's name
excited the free silverites TO frenzy. Now
he is accused of attempting to frame a
Peerless One Mr. Hill is a sincere gentle
man, but he carries financial ideas to the
length Of believing that any man who adj
vocates free silver or even squints at BIZ
metallism is guilty of a capital offense. He
is in error in his grounds of opposition to
the establishment of a uniform rate of ex-
change. Such a system should be estab-
hshed in the interest of our export trade"
