PAYNE EXPLAINS
Says Roosevelt Did Not Know of Var.
daman Postoffice Incl
dent.
SETTLED IN THE DEPARTMENT
Editorial of Governor on Presidents
Mother Decided Course
Taken.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The refusal
of the government to name a Missis-
sippi postofice after Gov. Vardaman
of that state, which has attracted con-
siderable attention, is explained bv
Postmaster General Payne in the fol-
lowing statement:
On May 6. 1904 a petition was filed
with the department asking for the es.
tablishment of. a pOstoffice at a certain
point in Calhoun county. in the state
of Mississippi, and requesting that it
be named Vardaman.
History of Case.
Immediately the usual investigation
made by the department as to the ne
cesSity for the establishment of the
Office was undertaken. Pending the in
quiry, copy of the Daily Clarion-Led-
ger a newspaper published at Jack
son, Miss, dated Aug. %, 1908. was
filed with the department, containing
an article to which the departments
attention was called. The article was
a copy of an editorial printed in the
Commonwealth under date of Jan. 10
1908, which paper is published and
edited by Gov. Vardaman. The arti-
Gle in question was so vile and indie
cent in its statements concerning the
mother of the president of the United
States as to be unfit for reproduction.
The postmaster general did not deem
it proper to give a postoffice the name
of any man who had used such Ian
guage regarding any woman. The
pOstoffice in question has been ordered
established and given the name of
Timberville.
Names often Rejected.
In exercising the discretion given
him by law the postmaster general fire.
quently rejects names suggested for
proposed postoffices. He has never
| been clearer as TO his duty than in this
case. 1t is proper to say that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had no knowledge of
the incident referred to.
The name Timberville, bestowed in
lieu of Vardaman, was suggested
among others by persons interested
there.

NOT FOR BELMONT
New York Capitalist Refuses to be
Treasurer OF National Dem1-
cratic Committee.
GEORGE F. PEABODY MAY BE
If Judge Parker Resigns From Court
of Appeals it Must Be
Soon.

EsOpus, n. Y, Aug. 3.-There now
is reason to believe that George Fos-
ter Peabody, of New York, is to be ap-
pointed treasurer of the national com
mittee August Belmont has serv-
ed notice that he would not take the
place even if it we're offered him.
Judge Parker neither admits nor de-
nies that Peabody has been agreed
upon.
Speculation is being INDUCED in re-
garding Judge Parker's future status
with the court of appeals. If he re-
signs in time to permit the election of
his successor, he must do so before
midnight of next Monday. AS yet he
has betrayed no sign as TO what he
will do. Local political wiseacres say
he will hold on to the chief justiceship
unless he should be elected president
Nov. s.
Information was given out at Rose
mount yesterday afternoon that the
notification committee will reach
Judge Parker by boat, leaving New
York early the morning of the 10th.
Wall IL Expected.
L. c. Wall, of Wisconsin, is expect
ed to visit Judge Parker today. The
visit undoubtedly will be attended
with considerable significance. Mr..
Wall was a presidential candidate be-
fore the St. Louis convention and re-
ceived the vote of his own state.
Later he came out for Judge Parker
and the democratic managers count
upon his influence and efforts in Wis
consin TO carry the safe against the
split republican organization.
II is expected that he will be asked
to look over the Parker letter of ac-
ceptance, and TO express frankly his
opinion as to the impression it will
produce in the east.
Richard Olney and Grover Cleveland
| have been invited 10 come TO Esopus
upon similar mission; the former ac
cepted and will arrive shortly, while
Mr.. Cleveland will make his visit, il
possible. before the document is made
public.

the strongest position in northern
Manchuria held by the czars army.
Advancing from Molten pass, Gen.
Kuroki has captured Yangze pass and
driven the Russians from Ikhauven,
the base selected by the late Gen. Kel-
ler's army before Molten pass. This
was accomplished Aug. l, and is con-
firmed by official reports TO st. Peters
burg and Toxic. The developments
of yesterday are as yet unknown to-
the outside world, but it is believed
that the fighting was continued. The
Russians admit severe losses on the
road from Saimatsze to Lao Yang
July 81, but no hint as to the extent
of the casualties is given on either
side.
To the south Oku has taken SimOu-
cheng. according to dispatches from
St Petersburg. although this is not
announced in so many words by the
Russian commander. 1t is believed
the cars forces around Hal Cheng
are in a serious predicament, and a
report that they had been cut off would
cause little surprise.
