Washington, Sept 2s-Indignatior
has been aroused here by clumsy for
gerry. which has been called to the at
tention of the president 1t is lettei
published on September %, in the Min
ers' Magazine. of Denver, The organ Of
the Western Federation of Miners, pur
porting to have been written by Presi
dent Roosevelt and addressed to Mich.
ael Donnelly. president of the Meal
Cutters union.
The language of the letter, also its
phraseology, is so distinctively differ
ent from that of President Roosevelt
that the forgery was self evident to
those who are familiar with the presi-
dents writing. The letter is printed
in an article headed Strike at the Bal
lot Box and in his Introductory re-
marks the writer declares that ''in re-
ply to communication from President
Donnelly asking his aid in behalf of
the ill-paid and half-famished strikers
President Roosevelt, the honorary
member of the brotherhood of locomo-
tive firemen, the open and pronounced
advocate of the open shop, the de-
fender of the policy of Parry's associa-
ton. responded to Donnelly in the fol-
lowing strenuous language" Then fol-
lowed the alleged letter:
1t can be authoritatively stated that
the letter is a gross forgery; that the
president has not written such letter
to Mr.. Donnelly or any one else con-
nected with the labor organization or
1t can be further authori-
tatively stated that the president has
not written Mr.. Donnelly at all. Secre-
tary Loeb has written Mr.. Donnelly
since attention here has been directed
to the published letter, asking Mr.. Don
nelly, If he has such letter in his pos
session, that it be turned over to the |
nearest United States district attorney, |
who will at once proceed 70 secure the /
of those guilty of the for
gerry The object of the published let
er is to create the impression that the
president criticised and condemned Mr..
)onnelly and his associates for the
trike."

A Hot Weather "Scrap."

A little scrap took place about clock
Thursday afternoon between Charley
Speed and Abe Bauman, on West Sew,
enth street in front of T. N. FigueIs'
store. The trouble is said to have
come up over a business matter and
the men stood on the street and quar-
relied for some time and finally Speed
struck Bauman and the latter ran and
picked up rock but did not throw IL.
They then both went together and fell,
when Chief of Police Webb ran in and
grabbed one and Deputy Sheriff Claud
Goodwin the other. Mr.. Baumans
clothes were soiled with dust and one
suspenaer broken loose and that was
about the extent of the damage.

One Miracle Begets Another.

In Roumania overlooking of household
animals during Christmas night extends to
several kinds of cattle, oxen, COWS, sheep
and donkeys, while horses are always and
emphatically excluded from the benefit IN
the Balkan states.
Orthodox peasants, whom I asked about
the custom, gave this explanation
''In the stable where the Christ Child
was born were several kinds of animals,
horses among others, but only the oxen,
COWS, sheep and donkeys behaved, that is,
remained quiet without disturbing the holy
family. The horses, on the other hand,
kept up a continues row, stepping from
one foot upon the other, and kicked and
neighed all the time. In remembrance OF
this we favor the animals who were good
to the Christ Child and His holy mother,
and naturally the horses don't come in fol
the feast.
