. Washington. April S.-Replying to a criticism of the use of the naval steam yacht Mayflower, filed in the House for Reproduction in the Congressional Record by Representative Williams of Missis- sippi. in the form of newspaper clip ping, Representative Foss, Chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee, today filed | also to be printed in the Record, a letter from Secretary Moody giving detailed his- tory of the use of the Mayfiower by President Roosevelt
 He says the Mayfiower is not as was stated in the criticism, denominated the Presidents yacht" Continuing the Sec retary says:
 She receives her orders from the De- partment in the same manner as other vessels. In accordance with a custom of long standing, however, the vessels of the navy have been placed at the dis posal of the President from time to time as he may desire 1t.
 Chose the Mayflower.
 The Mayfiower has been the vessel selected for this service under directions from the President that at no time should she be diverted from any naval duties for which she might be neeSed. It would be an injustice to the officers and men of the Mayftower to suppose that her sole or principal use was that of a yacht"
 AHe occTetdTy ueIdliS the use or the Mayfiower during the Spanish war at length and he then adds:
 ''The only use of the vessel made by the President or by his direction has been since the beginning of her pres- ent commission, June 28. 1902. During these twenty-one months she has cruised 22,0O0 miles which Is considerably more than the average of our naval vessels The President has spent aboard her at various times total of something less than forty hours and has travelled in her ninety-four miles.
 Used by the Family.
 "Of theses fpasv hours. all excanf on ore oeaasi0ns we4& sY,6llk m tlss rsrforni- ance of offieiaI duties. The total time spent on board the vessel by memners of the Presidents family or guests has been one week and the distance travelled while they have been aboard has been 4i0 miles.
 'AH expenditures of every nature occa- stoned by the visit of the President or any of his family or guests have been paid by him. The Mayfiower has never beeh neld for the Presidents use nor at any time has any money been expended re- furnishing the ship as the Presidents private yacht or for rehtting and repair ing for the Presidents personal use or for keeping the Mayflower at the dispo- sition of the President.
 'I have the honor to say in closing that according to the best of my knowledge and belief the Mayfiower has not teen diverted an hour from any naval duty for which she was needed or has dollar of the public money been expended for the pleasure or convenience of the Presi- dent or any of his family or guests"

Griggs of Georgia's Determination Not to Stand for Reelection to Chairmanship Due to Anti
 Hearst Feeling.
Advertiser Bureau, nlA nnSl


 Washington, April 8. The first test of Hearst and anti-Hearst in Democratic Congressional circles oc- cured Thursday evening at the .neet- ing of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
 Representative James M. Griggs chair man of the committee during the last campaign. seeing how little strength among members was held by William R. Hearst, for whom he has been an active advocate, decided not again to be a can- didate for the place. Only one other name, that of Representative William s. Cowherd of the Fifth Missouri District. and he was elected chairman by accla- nation.
 Everything had gone smoothly until the election of secretary for. the commit tee was reached. The only known can didate for that position was Charles A. Edwards, we'll known newspaper cor respondent, who had held the position during the last campaign. Mir. Ed wards was known as an outspoken Hearst man. Although there were some anti-Hearst men on the committee who did not regard that as impairing Mir. Ed wards's usefulness and ability to perform the duties of his office. there were others who conteuded 1t was position of which no advantage snOulu De taken 10 boom any individuals cause.
 The committee divided on this issue and adjourned without a decision, subject to !. the call of the charmian. It remains to be seen whether Mir. Edwards friends can overcome the objections made by the anti Hearst members of the commit tee.
 Senator Carmack opposed and Repre- sentative Williams of Mississippi support ed MT. Edwards. the Mississippian claim ing to be just as good Parker man as tho Tennasssean.

The News from Kansas.


 Private advices yesterday and today from Kansas are to the effect that although the Kansas Democratic con- vention endorsed the antitrust work of William R. Hearst only five of the dele- gates of twenty chosen for St. Louis are supporters of nomination of Hearst for President, the rest being for Parker.
 This Is the severest blow the Hearst boom has yet received National Com mittecman Johnson of Kansas has been for some time an outspoken Hearst man. As soon as the National Committee ad- journed after It's meeting here last Janua- ry. Johnson travelled troughout the north west In the interest of the Hearst move ment. The Hearst people have been con- fidently claiming Kansas solid Even to- day the Hearst papers published that Kansas had endorsed Hearst.
 The fact is, the Kansas convention omitted any word about Hearst's candi- dacy for President. The fight was nevertheless made for Hearst and anti Hearst delegates, Voting as a unit, Hearst would not get Kansas vote at St. Louis.
 Interesting news comes from Nebraska to the effect that the Democrats of that State. wearied of being tied to discarded issues, have revolted so stoutly that there is an even chance of defeating Will liam I. Bryan for delegate to St. Louis. It Is believed that the situation has been the cause of MT. Bryans sudden earn est determination that he was needed on his farm for early spring work.
