Card Eronl Judge Huron

Editor State Journal,
In Justice to myself I deem it well to
reply to the allegation made by law
yers in the Isenhart estate published in
this morning Capital. that the circular
letter issued by Judge Isenhart's sis
ter, Mrs. Douglass, lis given out by
political enemies of Judge Hayden as
they are accompanied by Judge Huron
circular letter. The fact is I have had
no responsibility whatever in the print
ing or circulating Of the letter of Mrs
Douglass; have never met her but
twice: have not known as to her where
abouts. and she IS not in my employ
Since my announced candidacy, several
persons have come to me with griev-
ances they claim to have with reference
to the settlement of estates in the pro-
bate court To each of them I nave
said that I would not for moment
think of having anything to do with
such grievance unless I could first make
a thorough examination of the estate
in question. that I did not have the
time to make such examination and
that consequently I cannot even give
an opinion or have anything to do with
the matter. I made the same state
ment to Mrs. Douglass. and whatever
has been done in her case has been done
without any authority whatever from
me As to her letter being accom-
panied with Judge Huron's circular let
ter if true, the same is without my
knowledge or consent. A number Of
my friends are circulating my open let
ter to Judge Hayden, but while I know
nothing as to what other matter they
circulate. or what other candidates they
represent I do know that my letter is
not enclosed with that Of Mrs. Doug
lass and that I am not responsible for
the circulation of her letter.

FRANCE IN A MESS.
Ministerial Crisis Comes et an Unfor-
-ss-. 9-,-.sss tlnate Time

Paris, March S.=The government
finds itself without a ministry at the
eliminating stage of the Moroccan
conference at Algeciras. A semioficial
statement on the subject says:
The ministerial crisis does not af
feet French policy at the conference"
This is designed chiefly to warn Ger
many not to take advantage of the
situation. The fact is that the minis
terial hiatus confuses matters and
wise might have been reached today.
The vote in the chamber of deputies
last night resulting in the defeat of the
government and the resignation of the
cabinet also requires that the govern
ment temporize with the church mani
festants who are becoming increasing
" demonstrative, particularly the
peasants.
President Fallieres today began a
series of consultations relative to the
formation of a new ministry. He first
conferred lengthily with NJ. Dubost,
president Of the senate, and later re-
ceived NJ. Doumer, president of the
chRmber of deputies. No announce
ment CT the presidents course of ac-
ton has been made, but the names
most mentioned are those of Leon
Bourgeois. the former premier; Alex
ander Nillerand, the former minister
of commerce: Raymond Poincaire, for
mer minister of public works, and Sen
atCr Clementeau. There is some talk
also of NJ Delcasse, the former foreign
minister. who is supported by the
Anglo-French enthusiasts, but his ap-
pointment is impossible owing to Ger
man hostility TO him.
NJ Rouvier wants to retire from the
premiership. but he may be induced to
retain the portfolio of foreign affairs or
that of finance under another premier.
Rentes went off 20 centimes today
but recovered, showing that the opera
tors on the bourse were not seriously
disturbed by the resignation of the
cabinet.

Given to Senator VIM. Pinckney
Whyte Of Maryland.

In the Senate today Senator william
Pinkney Whyte of Maryland was named as
a member of the Senate committee on the
District of Columbia, to take the place
made vacant by the death of Senator Cor
man. Senator Whyte. with his long fa-
miliarity with conditions In the District
and his well-known broad ideas as to the
scope of Improvement that should charac-
terize the upbuilding of the District of Co
lumbia, is suggested as particularly valu-
able member of that committee. His great
ability as a lawyer VIII also be of value in
connection with the committee work.
Senator Whyte's acquaintance with the
District of Columbia goes back farther
than that of any other senator. He re-
members the District as 1t was sixty years
ago, and can tell interesting stories of the
days when it was known as the city of
magnificent distances In fact, when he
first came to Congress the place was a lit
tie southern village. and in those days the
Capitol had not yet had the north and
south wings constructed Senator Whyte
has seen the city grow and has watched
its development with pride, believing that
1t should be beyond all question a model
in municipal improvements such as will
form an inspiration to all cities OF the
country.
Senator Whyte was also given place
on the committees on Canadian relations,
on the library, on printing and on frriga-
tion.

cADETsH1P FOR DISTRICT.
Mr.. Vests Suggestion Regarding Ar
portionment for West Point


The advisability of seeking legislation au-
thorizing the apportionment of a West
Point cadetship to the District of Columbia
was suggested in letter written to Secre-
tary Taft today by Commissioner H L.
West 1t is thought that the result desired
could be obtained in an amendment to the
military appropriation BILL but it is proba-
bly, too late for such an enactment to be
considered at this session of Congress, the
matter being brought up at this time so as
to have preparations made for presenting
the proposition to Congress next winter.
Inspiration for Commissioner Vests sug-
gestion was furnished by the marked evi-
dences Of enthusiasm for the military part
of their work by the High School Cadets,
and 1t is Mr.. Vests thought that this In
terest would not only be stimulated. but
that it would earn deserved reward IL the
priced cadetship should be awarded each
year to the High School soldier who show
ed the greatest proficiency in his studies
and In military training. Many members
of the High School regiment, at various
times, have been heard to express desire
to enter into competitive examination for
appointment. to West Point but heretofore
the only thing that has been available to
them has been one of the Presidents ap-
pointments- at-large.

BELIEVE HE Is ALIVE
FRIENDS OF W. B. GURLEY IN
VEsTIGATING HIS AFFAIRS.

The family and friends Of Mr. William B.
Gurley. the Washington stock broker. of
whom all trace was lost in journey from
Nantucket, Mass, to this city about a.
month ago, are, it is stated satisfied that
he is alive and somewhere in the. west 1t
is said that. he has been traced as far as
Chicago. 1t Is known also that at Bos-
ton. after leaving Nantucket, he purchased
new trunk, discarding his old one and
packing his belongings In the new one
boarded a train, it is now stated for the
west. From Boston he sent his family at
Nantucket package of newspapers and
this is the last positive tldings they have
had of him.
In order to ascertain the condition of Mr.
Gurleys financial affairs, Messrs. Melville
and De Shields Gurley. son of Mr. Gurley
acting on the advice of Mr. J. Wilton Lam
bert, held a meeting of Mr. Gurley's clients
In the Lawrence building last night, and
at the meeting information was obtained
as to the stock Mr.. Gurley had been carry
ing. His desk in his office in the Adams
building was opened yesterday by his sons
and the local banks were also examined
and 1t can be stated positively that all the
local stocks held by Mr.. Gurley were To-
Gated. 1t Is believed that the stocks Mr.
Gurley held in New York can be easily To-
Gated also. and Mr.. De Shields Gurley went
to that city today to look up the matter
AS far as the inquiries have gone, there
is no doubt that Mr.. Gurley left his af-
fairs in good shape, and his sons, who have
taken charge of his business affairs, will
have no trouble in Strengthening them out
AT the meRting held last night ii is
stated, five OF Mr. Gurley's clients were
present, but exactly what transpired at the
meeting is not known, except that the in
formation obtained enabled Mr.. Gurley's
sons to state that they had discovered prac-
tically ali the stock held by Mr.. Gurley
for his local clients.
1t is believed that the developments of
Mr.. Gurley's accounts are all correct and
that all who have business with him win
be fully secured.
Mr.. Gurley 1t is stated, has been unfor-
tunate since the firm of Gurley & johnson
discontinued business. Several months ago
he sold his seat on the local stock ex-
change for 5000, and of late had done but
little business, and that through other
brokers. All his dealings were, 1t Is be-
lieved fair and above board. and financial
matters, 1t Is thought, had but little If
anything, to do with his disappearance
Mr. Chas L. Gurley, brother of the miss
ing man. said today that he had no definite
Information whatever regarding his brother
and that the reason the members of the
Family believe he may still be alive is that
they have had no information of his death
He did not care to say anything regarding
Yesterdays meeting. and referred all per-
sons seeking information on that subject
to Mr.. Melville Gurley, who is temporarily
in charge Of his fathers business affairs.
