ASKED FOR INTERVIEW
NAVY YARD MACHINISTS WANT
TO SEE PRESIDENT.
To Talk Over Matter of Halliday Hol-
iday on Saturday During Bal
ance of Summer.

OYSTER BAY, l.. l., July 1S.-A request
was received by President Roosevelt from
a committee representing Columbia Lodge,
No. ia, International Association of Ma
chinsts, of Washington, D. c.. for an inter-
view with him here regarding the recent
grant of Saturday half holiday to the ma
chinists Of the Washington navy yard dur
ing the summer months. The half holiday,
by direction of the President. was given
the machnists last summer, with the un-
derstanding that the time off should be
taken by the men when 1t would not inter-
fere with the regular work Of the yard.
This year the Secretary of the Navy decid-
ed that the condition of the work at the
Washington yard was such that the half
holiday could not be granted
The appeal Of the men to President
Roosevelt was taken in the belief that he
might order again that they be given the
half holiday in common with the depart
ment employees in Washington.
Referred to Bonaparte.
In response to the request of the commit
tee for an interview the President referred
the members to Secretary Bonaparte, In
forming them that the Secretary's determi-
nation of the matter would be final and
that he himself must decline to make 1t a
subject Of review.
The President had no engagement today
to receive visitors. He transacted consid-
cradle routine business with Acting Secre-
tary Barnes. He already has begun the
preparation of the addresses he expects to
deliver next month on the occasion Of his
visit to Wilkesbarre, Pa, and Chautauoua.

SOME INTERESTING MATTERS RE-
HEARSED IN THE REPLIES.
Many Constituents Regard Represen-
tative an Errand Boy-Connection
With Post Office Patronage.

ALBANY. n. Y, July lS.-Justice Warren
b. Hooker today was a voluntary witness
at his trial before the joint legislature on
charges growing out of the postal investi-
CATION. John r. Stanchfeld. senior counsel
of the justice, questioned the defendant,
the replies covering Justice Hookers career
up to and including his service in Congress,
which ceased in 1898. The counsel then took
up the question of post office appointments.
Justice Hooker said that it was the GUS
tom in many districts for the retiring con-
gressnan to have the post office patronage
He spoke feelingly of the vast number of
requests that come to a congressman Many
of his constituents, said he, regarded him
as an errand boy between them and the
departments
In the charges against Justice Hooker it
is alleged that Frank P Ball of Dunkirk
was given a position in the Fredonia post
office at the solicitation of Hooker: that he
never performed any service and that his
salary was applied to liquidating notes
given by Ball and indorsed by Justice
Hookers wife.

Estimate of Beavers.


Speaking of Beavers, Justice Hooker said:
1 never heard his honesty or integrity
questioned. and he was spoken of highly by
members of Congress-
or his nephew, Maurice Hooker he said
he never knew that young Hooker was
farming out" his position as laborer in the
Fredonia post office and not actually doinp
the work. He had told the Fredonia post
master that he was looking for a job for
ms nephew, and the postmaster had sug-
gested this place, and subsequently secured
Maurice Hookers appointment.
Il never paid a dollar said the witness.
OF the money which Postmaster Taylor of
Fredonia restored to the government for
Balls and Hooker's salaries"
1t was general practice, said Justice
Hooker for members of Congress to have
constituents appointed to post office posi-
tons before the office entered the classified
service, by this means enabling them to be
transferred later without examination to
places under the civil service rules He was
allowed to do this, he said. by First Assist
ant Postmaster General Heath.

He admitted having secured the appoint

but declared there was no intention nor
thought of wrongdoing AS for Minerva
jeffrey the other post office clerk men
TONED in the charges. Justice Hooker said
he had nothing to do with her appoint
ment and did not even know her.
Then the "Wirtner judgment" charge
was taken up. Justice Hooker denied that
he had any intention of securing a fraudu-
lent judgment or much of any part In the
legal steps taken.
On the cross examination. former Deputy
Attorney General Conan Of the prosecution
asked the witness for an explanation Of
his statement that an outgoing member of
Congress had special influence upon the
post office patronage of his home town
Justice Hooker could not recall any post
office appointments made in his district
since his retirement from Congress besides
those he recommended excepting that of
Minerva Jeffrey. He said he was not IA

post office when he retired, and that the
request In one of his letters to Beavers

The witness asserted that neither he nor
his wife loaned a dollar directly to Ball.
Mrs. Hooker went on his notes only as an
accommodation indorser. The position In

Hooker said. until two years after the
notes were made. Ball, according to the
witness, came to him and asked his aid in
getting a federal position. Justice uhen
representative Hooker saw First Assistant
postmaster General Perry Heath in regard
TO appointing Ball to place in the Fredo-
ma post once and subsequently wrote to
George w. Beavers, chief of the division of

A STRONG CLAIM
WELL BACKED UP
Rubbers Guaranteed to
Last Longer Than Two
Pairs of any Other.

Overshoes and rubbers guaranteed to
wear longer than two pairs of any other
make.
This is rather a strong claim and one
which will interest almost everybody at
this particular time of the year when the
question of warm and dry feet is upper
most.
But it is an actual fact that rubbers and
oyershoes can be bought in Ellsworth
guaranteed and backed up by reputable
house guaranteed to wear longer than
two pairs OF any other make.
These guaranteed goods are the Gold
Seal brand and are made of pure Para rub
ber-new stock. Not an ounce of old rub
Der is used in the Gold Seal goods. The
rubber has the life, tenacity, wearing
quality not possible in anything but the
finest of new fresh stock
Old and inferior rubber such as is used
in many makes of rubbers and overshoes
crumbles and grinds in contact with hard
er substances, as in common use.
New, pure Para-the kind used in the
Gold Seal goods, is tough and resultant.
When it meets hard substance il ssgivess'
and resists.
Gold Seal rubbers and overshoes cost a
little more than the common kinds, but
are far cheaper in the end-the cheapest to
| buy by all means.
| Gold Seal goods are made in all styles;
children's, misses, ladies', boys. youths,
mems, in all the popular styles, from san
dals TO the high storm patterns.
| There's only one place in Ellsworth
where they are sold, and that is at n.
| Gallert's.
| The Gold Seal is the kind-guaranteed
to last longer than two pairs of any other
/ make.
