A CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Attorney For Packers Said to Have Brib-
ed d Reporter.

Chicago, Jan. 27.--As result of LETT
tiers made public in Washington last
night, report on the Interoccan named
Hasler has been discharged by the edi-
tor in-chief OF the paper, The letters
show that the reporter received brides
from Judge George w. Brown, one Of
the attorneys for the packers who nre
under indictment, alleged to have been
given to influence his reports Of the
trial. The money was given ostensibly
as Christmas present,
President Roosevelt wrote the follow
ing letter to Attorney General Moody,
which was made public last night:
"The White House,
Washington, Jan. 20, 1906.
"Sir: In view OF the fact that there
seems to be no opportunity for action
before the courts against the counsel
of the beef packers, who, IT appears
from District Attorney MoTris0n's state
ment, has been guilty Of bribinR re-
porter-the reporter having disseminta-
ed false and misleading statements as
to the case against the beef trust--it
seems to me that the only only course
left is to publish Mr.. Morrisons letter
and the other documents in the case.
This | direct To be done. Extraordinary
efforts have been made in this case, as
in one or two similar cases, to poison
the public mind by the dissemination
of false and misleading statements, and
it is right that the public should know
why and how their circulation is Sc
cured.
"Very truly yours,
Theodore Roosevelt
Hon. w. II. Moody, Attorney General"

BAD FAITH CHARGED
AGAINST c. C. Fits
Alleged That He Dealt Doubly With His
Clients, Causing Disbarment Pro-
ceedings to Be Instituted Be-
fore Supreme Court.

Bellows Falls, Jan. ~, Bad faith with
his clients, it ii authnritatiyely stated,
is the ground for the petition to the SUI
prene court for disbarment Of Attorney
General Clarke c. Fitts. II Is said that
one instance is the case of the S. Al.
Smith company, when Fits was EN-
ployed by an out Of the state Arm
To collect claim against the company,
on which there was disagreement. The
claim, it is stated, was promptly paid
by the Smith company To Mr.. Fits,
who deposited the money to his own
credit and subsequently wrote the cred
itors that the matter had not been adj
justed and that they would receive their
money as soon as it was adjusted.
A second charge is that Mr.. Fits at
the time he was states attorney, and
was the prosecuting officer in liquor
cases under the old prohihitory law, SCI
cured money from a proprietor Of the
American House, and presumably vio-
lator Of the liquor laws, without ade-
quate security. Definitely, ii Is said,
that he gave the hotel man check for
several hundred dollars which the latter
advanced TO him on request, there be-
ing no funds at the bank to meet the
check
A third charge is that Mr.. Fits was
guilty OF double dealing In his relations
with a client, ID. p. Prescott, in q suit
known as the Bartlett Prescott suit,
which has been through the county court
and in which Judgment was given against
Mr.. Prescott, now Of Vernon, for 4 large
sum of money. Mr.. Prescott has sought
relief for what be claims unfair treat
ment, but 10 no purpose. The last phase
OF this case was a trial at Newfane,
last fall, when Mr.. Fits sued Mr.. Pres
colt for his fees in the case, and got
judgment, the auditor, A. Y. d. Piper Of
Jamaica, finding that there was no
ground whatever in the charges OF dou.
bic dealing.
The petition, however, claims that
there was such ground in that Mr.. Fits
was at the same time acting as attorney
for another client whose interests and
Prescott's were opposite In other words,
ii Prescott had won his case there would
be nothing for the other client, and it
is claimed that Fits had personal pc
cuniary interest in the other client 8
suit.
On these grounds and some others
the petition begs the court TO take ac-
ton. The signers all well known Brat
tleboro and Vernon men, some Of whom
have personal grievances against Mr..
Fits. The petition was circulated qui-
city some time since, after the decision
Of the referee in the Prescott case at
Newfane.

ened His state.

Washington, Feb 5.-Senator Pat.
terson caused a sensation in the sen.
ate today by introducing 70 resolution
relative to the rights of senators in

the Democratic caucus indicated to
senators, how they should vote, was
o plain violation of the spirit and in
tent of the constitution OF the United
States; that each senator was entitled
to one vote and any attempt to co
cree him was an invasion of the
rights of state; that any senator
who permits himself to be so coerced
weakens and dcgrades his state: that
for any senator 10 vote otherwise
than as his sense of duty dictates, de-
graded his high Office and assails the
dignity and standing of the senate.

FARMERS UNION is FORTUNATE

We want tC reiterate the statement
made sometime since, to the effect
that the members Of the Indiahoma
Farmers Union should feel proud OF
it's officers Whatever suspicious or
doubts we. or any OF the delegates
who attended the South McAlester
convention, may have had regarding
both their wisdom and honesty, has,
so far as we are informed, been en-
tirely removed.
The Indiahoma officers are honest,
their service fealty and we know that
they have been and are still sacriGc-
ing both time and money Ia the in.
terest of the Union.
Brethren. let us sheath our daggers
Of invection, hush the tongue Of vitu-
peration and SANDER and in the fu-
ture bend our energies to the accom-
pllshment Of peace and good will
rather than encourage dissension and
NlnAul biu''s
let us Of the lndiahoma Farmers
Union honor and respect the officers
We have selected rather than dishon.
or them upon altogether unjust and
groundless suspicious created in near.
ly every instance by men who have
no heart in this movement other than
the qualification of heir individual
political or mercenary ambition.
Let us remember that the F. T. and
c. Y. was founded upon the principles
Of equity, justice and the Golden Rule
That the great leyeler, after all-the
only adequate remedy for the destruc-
tion Of the enemy-is intelligence
coupled with courage, manhood and
honesty, tempered by justice, equity
and the Golden Rule.
Let every member determine to
defy the miserable political prostitute
who would inject dissensions by sour
rilous and vindictive attacks upon our
officers, whether the prostitute be ar
rayed in the garb OF a political law
yer, doctor, editor or preacher
If member of the union believes
that this great and blessed organiza-
tion to which he has given his ale
