ment, and not that of the senator. My
practice during the last three years
has been exactly that set forth in this
statement; and I may add repeatedly
I have refused to nominate, at the re-
quest of some senator, a man to sue
coed some public servant who / felt
mated, or whom l regarded as mark
edly superior to his proposed sue
cessor.
So much as to my relations with
my constitutional advisers. But the
relation of a congressman to these ap-
pointments rests not upon law but
purely upon custom. 1t has been
found in the actual working of our
government that, as a rule, the con-
gresham is the best man to consult
about the appointments which come
under his special ken. Someone must
be consulted, and as rule the. con-
gresham is the man whose advice is
most apt to be that which can be
followed with advantage to the COM
munity, and therefore to the party
But this is a mere custom, and have
never hesitated for a moment to de-
viate from it whenever circumstances
arose that satisfied me it was wise and
proper and in the interest of the COM
munity to do So In scores of cases L
have been obliged to disregard the
recommendations of congressman for
all kinds of reasons Usually 1 have
diSregarded them because 1 have be-
lieVed that the man recommended to
me was unfit Occasionally I have dis
regarded them because 1 felt that the
man who was in Office was SO con-
spicuously fit that he ought to be re-
tanned.
Holding in mind that the recommen-
dation of the congressman is merely
matter of custom, 1 wish to point out
to you that it is also the custom to pay
heed to the wishes not only of the cab
met officers. but even of senators OF
the opposite party, and occasionally
to the wishes of congressman OF the
opposite party, in the case of nom1na-
tions to Office in their own towns In
such cases 1 have sometimes nom1-
mated the man requested by a Demo-
cratic senator, for instance always
provided regarded him as fit for the
pOSitiOn) and even where have not
done this I generally consulted him
about the man whom I did appoint
That I should consult one of the
members of my own cabinet in refer
ence to the postmaster of his own
city ought to go without saying.
After carefully considering all the
circumstances I feel that the wise
and proper thing is to nominate Mr..
Pinkham to succeed himself. I intend
to nominate him because he is a thor
oughly fit man, who has been an excel
lent postmaster, who is of good stand
ing in the community, whose retention
in the office will undoubtedly be agree
able to the bulk of the patrons of the
office, and whose reappointment is
asked for by the attorney general,
himself a citizen of HaverhiIl, who,
sor, secured the appointment of this
man to office by President Mckinley.
I regret to have to take any action
which. will be displeasing to you; but
I do not see how can avoid doing so
in this case. Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Asks Damages From Katy.

Parsons, Kan. Nov. 19.-F. p.
Utley. father of Fireman John Utley,
who was fatally injured in the wreck
of the M, K & T. Kansas City train,
near Moran on the night of November
1, is here and has been comforting
with Katy officials regarding monetary
damages for the loss of his son.
Mr.. Utley, ST., resides with his fam
lily on a farm five miles from Spring
field, Mo. Mr.. Utley said that he did
not contemplate bringing suit at pres
ent, that he believed that the COM
pany would settle the claim without
the necessity of going into court
Mr.. Utley says his son was always
dutiful and that he was a favorite with
the family, consequently the shock
was great. Young Utley was at home
on visit prior to the accident, having
returned on Monday, before meeting
death on Tuesday night. The young
man carried $1,000 insurance in the
Brotherhood of Locomotive F'iremen
and a like amount in the Maccabees.

FATHER OF STANDARD TIME.
G. F. Dowd, Killed at Saratoga, In
ventor of the System.

Charles Ferdinand Dowd. A. NJ,
D. D., Phi. D., who was killed by a
Delaware & Hudson train at a grade
crossing at Saratoga, N. Y, on Sat
urday evening, was held by many to
be the originator of the system of
standard time now in use in the
United States.
It was adopted by the American
railway managers in 1888, and at that
time DR.. Dowd showed satisfactory
proof that he had begun to work out
such a system nearly ten years before
any of those who developed it took up
the question.
From that time practically to the
hour of his death DR.. Dowd was work.
ing on a system of international stand
ard time with a twenty-four hour day.
The system was virtually finished
three or four years ago, but there
were several details to be worked out.
Mr.. Dowd was born in Madison,
Conn.,, on April rs, 1925. He worked
his way through Yale by tutoring and
vacation teaching. He got his mas
ter's degree three years after gradua-
ton, in 1856, and the degree of doctor
of divinity several years later. The
University of the City of New York
made his Phi. D. in 1888.

POLICY TO PAY CLAIMS
Traffic Agent Makes Admission
on Witness Stand.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
In Railroad Circles.

Whether railroads have practically
been paying rebates to live stock
shippers in the form of adjustment of
claims for loss and damage, is a ques-
ton that is bothering the interstate
commerce commission. The operat-
ing and traffic officials of railroads in
the southwest and northwest have tes-
titled this week that since they in
creased freight rates on live stock
there has been a marked increase in
the number of claims for damage to
live stock, through accidents and de-
lays on the railroads. c. L. yelling
Colorado & Southern, when testifying
before the commission, admitted that
the railroad paid number of claims
of live stock shippers which, in his
or morally bound to pay.
"Our relations with live stock ship
pers always had been pleasant and
we paid the claims in order to main
tain the pleasant relations" said Mr..
Wellington, in reply to a question of
Commissioner Prouty.
Did your company have single
lawsuit last year over claims for dam
ages made by live stock shippers ?"
asked Attorney Cowan of the Texas
Cattle Raisers' association.
''It did not replied Mr. yelling
ton.
A. S. Dodge, vice president in charge
of traffic of the Frisco system, also
testified to a big increase in claims
for damage to live stock since the
railroads raised freight rates, and adj
mitted that claims were paid in some
cases from a policy standpoint. He
declared that the rates on live stock
are too low, considering the special
service required
G. w. Resseguie, general superin-
tendent of the Frisco system, testified
that in many cases cattle shipped are
too weak to stand up in the cars, and
whenever any of the cattle are hurt
or killed a claim for damages is made
to the railroads.
do you mean to say that Texas
cattle have been purposely held back
and made weak, in order to collect
damages from the railroads." de-
manded Attorney Cowan.
81 do not say that" replied Mr..
Resseguie. 1.-The reason the Texas
cattle are shipped to the northern
cannot be strengthened on Texas pas
lures; so they are shipped up where
there is better air, grass, and water.
But claims for damages come in just
the same, and large amounts are paid
out to shippers without lawsuits.
Despite the fact that the big ranches
are being broken up, the shipments
of live stock from the southwest have
increased in recent years, ac-
cording to Mr.. Resseguie. The value
of the cattle has also increased
better breeding and the in
crease in value has been compare
lively greater than the increase in
freight rates, Mr.. Resseguie said.

ASKS FOR RECEIVER.
Rock Island May Be Forced to Surren-
der Charter in Texas.

Austin, Tex, Nov. 19.-Allison May
field, member of the Texas railroad
commission, has submitted motion to
the other members of that body that
steps be taken in the courts on behalf
of the state of Texas to forfeit the
charter of the Texas corporation of
the Rock Island and to place it in the
hands of a receiver. The reason for
the proposed motion is an alleged
manipulation of rates on grain and
flour to Texas points by the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific, whereby a gen
eral decentralization of the Interstate
rates is threatened. No action was
taken today, owing to the absence of
one of the commissioners.

Surveyors Locating Grade of Roadbed
of Union Pacific Branch.

Frankfort, Kan, Nov. 19.-The Union
Pacific surveyors are in this vicinity
again, at this time setting the grade
stakes for the permanent grade, or road
bed. This leads our people to believe
more strongly than ever that the road
is to be built. This is a different party
of surveyors than were here before, and
more of them.
Two Onaga business men were in the
city Tuesday, and they say that no less
than six contracting firms are getting
ready to begin work on the south end
of the line. They also said that the
man having the right of way purchas-
ing in charge has been at that place,
and he told them that he has already
secured nearly all the right of way
through Jackson county, and that the
company has deposited sufficient mon
ey to pay all damages that may be
awarded by the condemning board IN
cases where the right Of way man can
not effect settlements. They say the
company is very liberal in it's settle
ments The gentleman said that he
expects to begin work of securing the
right of way through Pottawatomie and
Marshall counties just as soon as a lit
tie more preliminary surveying is done.

station north of Rincon, N. M, by fall
ing under the engine and getting both
legs cut off above the knees and one
arm above the elbow, while trying to
run ahead and throw a switch leading

ahead of the fast moving train, being
at the foot of the Grama hill and hard
to hold down. Mr.. Seals was taken to
the Las Vegas hospital, but died at La

FOLLOWED BOYS SUGGESTION.
How a Stalled Engine Was Bumped
Off Dead Center

A travelling man relates that while
riding on the new Orient line between
Harper and Anthony a few days ago,
one of the side rods of the engine
broke, and the other stopped on a
dead center" so that when the re-
pair was made it was impossible to
start the train again. He says, ac-
cording to the Kansas City Star:
''The engineer, conductor and all the
passengers took turns going over the
thing and trying to devise way to
make it run. Finally a boy came out
of the field where he had been plow-
ing to see what was going on. He
crawled through the wire fence and
sat down on the bank and famed him
self with his straw hat. IF you'd back
that last car up the grade an let 'er
come down kerchunk, that 'ud start
err he finally suggested deliberately.
1.-THE railroad men shifted con-
temptuously, but the passengers sided
with the boy. Finally the conductor
gave orders that the car be uncoupled.
No less than fifty passengers caught
hold and pushed the car up the grade.
Once at the top the car was let go. The
loose coach gained momentum as it
came down hill, and in spite of the
engineers admonition to let 'er come
down easy the emergency battering
ram crashed into the train with a ire
mendous thump. The engine was
bumped off center all right
