SENIOR BERMUDEz APPEASED.
Urusnyan Envoy sure He Wasn't InsuIted
When He Went 10 Welcome Roosevelt Home.

NTuSu! IN Envoy sure re wasn't tnSulted
When He Went 10 Welcome Roosevelt Home.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Sehor Don Pedro
Requena Bermudez, Charge d'Affaires ad
interim of Uruguay and first secretary of
that country's legation here, who, on the
deck Of the Mayfower at the Washington
navy yard. last evening, formally well
coined the President back to his capital
and protested because a marine wouldn't
let him into the navy yard for a while, was
just az sure tonight that nothing had hap
pened to him as he was last night that he
had been g%rievously insulted.
Senior Bermudez says that il was all a
mistake, and he has entered a diplomatic
denial Of the whole incident. His motives
in going 10 the navy yard in the first place,
an action not thoroughly understood by
officials and diplomats who are in touch
with the niceties and details OF custom,
propriety and etiquette, we're purely altrl-
istic. and he merely wanted to welcome
home the President in a private manner
and as an ardent admirer.
1T was nothing. nothing said Senior
Bermudez THU evening. 1T was not in
suit; the officer who let me in was most
pleasant and treated me with considera-
ton. l go to the navy yard; ! meet the
sergeant; he asks me my name: l give him
my card. He calls the officer: the officer
he says Come in and l go to the May
flower and greet the President. PROTEST.
On the contrary, | say nothing. Everything
was satisfaction. The story published. il
10 a novel, a history-a what you call it?"
A invention broke in an attache of
the legation.
Yes, an invention. ! deny to the paper
this evening"
1t is not customary for diplomats to
greet the President when he returns from
trips, especially when late at night. Some
OF the bigger men in the diplomatic corps
who enjoy more or less personal friendship
with the President sometimes go to the
station or landing when he departs. The
French Ambassador, who spends many
Of his afternoons on the White House ten
mis- court, was one Of those who saw the
President OF for Panama three weeks ago.
Baron Won Sternburg, the German Am
~bassadoT, is sometimes present to say fare
well when the President is about to start
on some particularly long trip, n other
diplomats have been at hand at times when
Mr.. Roosevelt was leaving upon some trip
which had special interest to them.
Following is a statement issued tonight
by the Cnguayian legation:
Senior Requena B~ermudez, Charge
d'Afiaires OF Uruguay, in reference TO what
was said to-day about him going to pay
his respects TO the President on the May
flower last night, declares what follows:
That there has not been any protest on
the part OF any one; that only his name was
asked and the officer ordered that he should
he allowed to pass in. Senior Bermudez
did not represent the diplomatic body,
nor did he mention his honor or that of his
government; he only ~purposed to present
his respects and congratulations to the
President for his happy return, as a simple
admi.er and in q private manner"

New York Result Eliminated Roosevelt
and Hearst. He Thinks.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator Joseph
c. :. Blackburn Of Kentucky, who has here
tofore declined to ak about prospective
political issues and candidates, broke his
silence to-day.
William jennings Bryan Is easily tn
best man available for the Democats to
nominate for President in 1908. and IL nomi-
mated he should win" said Senator Black
burn. Theodore Roosevelt and william
Randolph Hearst were eliminated as Presi-
Dental possibilities by the verdict rendered
by New York voters on November Q, when
the entire Democratic State ticket except
ing Hearst was elected. II matters not
whom the Republicans nominate for Presi-
dent in 1908, the party must grip one horn
Of a serious dilemma. II they name q man
Of the Roosevelt calibre and Ik there will
be division In the ranks, and II they choose
a rea~ctionary discomfort will be a threaten
ing factor"
. desired 20 say something earlier about
Bryan's Madison Square Garden speech"
continued the Kentucky Senator, but the
now famous deliveranoe was &C vigorously
bounced upon at the time by others that I
bhOhShb WAcC w PocsPShO oAhIOnsAOh VI
my own views. In my Judgment Mr..
Bryan is the best man for the Democrats to
nominate for President In 1908, notwith-
standing his qualified reference to Govern
ment ownership of railroads.
Admitting hat the injection OF the ques-
ton into his Madison Square Garden speech
was unnecessary and untimely, fail to see
wherein Mr.. Bryan Numbered sufficiently
to eliminate him as a Presidential candidate
In considering Mr.. Bryan in this connection
We must not lose sight of the important
fact that he spoke only as a private citizen
and in an unofficial capacity. This fact is
accentuated by the greater fact that the
Congress and not the President is the source
Of our laws; and I am sure that no Congress-
controlled by Democrats would submit to
usurpation or inte rife renee by the executive
chief"
Senatoy Blackburn then detailed a private
Conve ~rsation. lasting two hours, which he
had with Mr.. Bryan on the occasion Of the
latter's reception in Louisville. Discussing
with Mr.. Bryan his Madison Square Garden
speech, the Senator said he told him that
be had erred in his reference to Government
ownership, and that his mistake had raised
a storm which would rage round his read
for a long time. He told the Ne braskan
also that this reference had zoe saving
clause, to wit: But | am heartily IN favor
of the rate law enacted at the last session
of Congress having a thorough and far
trial" With this rounding Of his position,
Senator Blackburn thought Mr.. Bryan had
secured a safe and soft landing for himself.
1T will be recalled" said the Senator,
that in his Louisville speech Mr.. Bryan modi-
fed his Madison Square Garden sllusion to
Government ownership. Mr.. Bryan simply
meant to warn the railroads that govern
ment ownership was a shot in the locker
Of the public hould they attempt to defeat
the relief sought by the Hepburn act, and
see where Mr.. Bryan has commit tied a
serious wrong

President es q. y. Attorney PettIn-
gill After Visiting Island.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The President
to-day directed the summary removal from
Office of B. X. Pettingill, United States
Attorney for Porto Rico.
While the charges on which Pettingill
was removed we're considered by the Presi-
dent before he went to Porto Rico, the
removal was the direct result Of the Presi-
dents visit to the island. Pettingill was
charged with having taken a suit at law
against a fellow officer of the Porto Rice
Government and to have made charges
seriously rejecting on the latter's official
integrity, which were not sustained. Pettin-
gill is . native Of New Hampshire.

900 . Year Metz Serves Notice on
Idlers and Absentees In All Bureaus.
Comptroller Metz said yesterday that
the city is paying more than 800, 900 annu-
ally to title companies for information as
to liens existing on properties about to be
acquired by the city, and that this money
is paid for Information obtained by the
companies from records In the possession
Of the city. Mr.. Metz made this assertion
when referring to the case OF Edward A..
Slattery, Collector OF Assessments and Ar
rears, who has been suspended until the
Comptroller has investigated his bureau.
The investigation will extend to all the
branches Of the Finance Department. Mr..
Metz said yesterday chat he had observed
great laxity in all these branches. The
employees, he said, seemed to think that
they had the right to 60 and come when
they pleased and to stay away for days at
a time II they wished, while some got too
drunk to work, and some, while drawing
their pay from the city, are in the employ
OF the title companies.
But / intend to put a sto p to this BUSH
ness" the Comptroller said. Il will begin
by docking the pay OF men who are absent
from the Office without proper cause, and
II that doesn't do any good III make sons
Wholesale discharges
Why, do you know" the Comptroller
went on, there are some men in this Office,
II what l hear il correct, who are making
more money than / am and | am the re-
sponsible head of the department and
supposed to be drawing the largest salary.
l don't want to say anything more on that
subject now, except to say that the city is
paying over 100000 a year 10 the title
guarantee companies. We are paw ny
for records that are right here in our Office,
which we have been unable 10 get at. There
will be no more Qf that. | mean to nave
the books OF the Bureau of Assessments
up TO date, and that viii mean the loss Of a
large yearly revenue to the companies"
Deputy Comptroller McCOoey said: The
investigation we began to-day developed
that the bureau was simply an annex TO the
title co companies, whether the work for
them was done in office hours or out of
onice hours. One of these companies has a
system and plant at work in the offices
Of the bureau which is far superior to the
facilities provided for the CITY, although
the bureau is a branch Of the Finance De-
partment. The companies have a COM
plete card index system, while the city is
without one" .
II was learned yesterday from one Of the
officials of the Finance Department that 40
badly have the books Of the bureau been
kept that even to this day il has been inn
possible TO ascertain Just how much money
was stolen from the city by the book

Prayer Of the Independents

Antonito Ledger.
O, thou santanic majesty, we,
thy servants assembled. desire to
call upon thee, knowing thou art
full of all subtlety and deception.
that thou will come to our assis-
tance in this our dire extremity
and help us as the time of election
draweth near. We feel in need of
thine aid: thou knoweth how faith
full we have been in the past in
thy cause. Our fame has gone
abroad throughout Conejos county
and the far east. We have de-
ceived a great many people and
wish to deceive many more. Our
funds are exhausted and we de-
sire to replenish them at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers of Conejos
county. Assist us we pray thee.
and we will continue to be thy
servants. Even so, amen.

VOTES WILL BE COUNTED

Shotgun methods will not pre-
vail in Conejos county. The
people will vote and they will vote
their convictions, whether in
Manassa, La Jara or elsewhere.
The avowed threat of the ''inde-
penitentiaries" to raise a row in
the event of the Democratic and
Republican campaigners going into
Manassa or La Jara is mere child's
talk, and their boasts that they
will carry these precincts any
COSTS simply in line with the
dishonesty always manifested by
the leaders of this political maver-
ick movement.
Honest voters need have no
fear. Your vote will be counted
no matter what the 'indepeniten-
tiaries" may do. Neither Bill
Braiden nor Molletta can rob the
people while the Chronicle is on
the turf.
