SARCASTIC REPLY.
Judge Hamilton Declines to Appear
and Be Investigated.

New York, March 21.-Andrew Ham
ilton, former legislative agent for the
New York Life Insurance company,
today sent a reply to the Fowler n
vestigating committee of that com
pany, declining to appear before the
committee to be examined as to his
work for the company.
Ihe letter is dated today and reads
.'GentIemen:-I am replying to the
only communication received by me
by your body since my return.
1t is doubtless quite evident that
by this time you should be yourselves
satisfied that the statements contained
IN your report of February T. 1906, in
regard to your examination of my ac-
counts are seriously wrong and that
when you rushed into print in order
that you might wear a newspaper halo
you had not, as your report Incorrect
ly states, obtained all the information
about this subject that is accessible.
z our published interviews, which
take to be correct because know the
facts so covered, betray a startling
loss of memory during your delibera-
tions upon the subject of the weekly
audit for years OF my accounts by
some members of your committee and
from time to time by other members
of the board of trustees.
Documents in the company's Office
file (if they have not been suppressed
official action spread upon the record
Of your proceedings. and correspond
enoe to which you certainly must have
had access must have been deliberate
ly ignored by you to give the Paris
Policy Fee-Account and the New York
premium calculations false color
upon which to base your unwarranted
accusations.
Notwithstanding I was prepared to
accept the suggestion contained in
your letter-'Win you walk into my
parlor says the spider to the fly
when you practically retreated from
your position in choosing to proceed
by the commencement of a civil action
against me.
Il can appreciate that the events of
the past week so far as I have par
ticipated in them, are not, perhaps,
calculated to put you in Judicial
state of mind I will. therefore ac-
cept your latest challenge and meet
you in a tribunal where there will be
no vanity to be tickled and the scales

ON SHIPPERS TRAIL.
Commerce Commission to Investigate
Fraud of Underbilling.

washington, March 2L-The inter
state commerce commission gave out
today for publication the following
notice:
Upon reports to the commission that
many shippers in and about the city
of New York have been persistently
underbilling and misrepresenting
freight shipped by railways from that
city and other points IN eastern terri
tory, the commission has ordered an
investigation and set the matter down
for hearing at the United States court
rooms, New York City on Friday.
March %, at 1890 a. m"
It is expected that some highly in
teresting developments VIII take place
indicating fraud on the part of the
shippers which amount to forced re-
bates from published tariff rates.
The members Of the commission were
loath to give any OF the details which
led to the decision to conduct the In
vestigation but the information was
impaired that beyond question the un-
derbilling was intentional and that the
shipments were deliberately misclassi-
fed in order to secure the lower freight
rates. No one at the offices Of the
commission was willing to admit that
the railroads were a party to the al
legged frauds. Many witnesses have
been subpoenaed to be present at the

school Children of EI Paso Celebrate
Juarezs Birthday.

Fl Paso. Texas. March 21.-With ur-
ing of volleys by federal troops and
music of bands a three days celebra-
ton of the birth of Benito Juarez be-
gan at aybreak today.
Throughout the public schools OF
Mexico there were exercises today in
honor of Juarez who drove Maximillian
from Mexico but the FL Paso school
children contributed the most novel
feature. In distinctly American
tribute to the Mexico hero the chill
dren nearly 1900 strong marched over
the river to Ciudad JuaIez. Accom-
panying the children were members af
the city council, the directorate OF the
chamber of commerce and members Of
public bodies. At the Plaza de Con
stitucion in Juarez memorials were
piled upon the statue Of Juarez and
commemorative addresses delivered. The
American children carried flags of both
countries and sang national anthems
Of the two republics. The army band
from Fort Bliss accompanied the pro
cession by special permission Of the
secretary Of war.

Associate Justice Of United
States Supreme Court
Will Serve Under Banner OF
Spelling Reform.
TO USE NEW METHOD
In Writing His Opinions From
the Bench.
He Tried It a Little and Likes
It, He Says.

New York, March I'll hava
agreed to use the new simplifed method
Of spelling in writing my opinions
said Associate Justice David J. Brewer
of the United States supreme court
when asked today concerning his opin-
ion Of the new movement. For soma
time I have followed the practice OF
shortening my spelling OF certain
words as 'altho. thru and program
OF course, I cannot control the actions
Of the supreme court in the matter Of
spelling. but have adopted the new
method for my own use.
The spelling of many educated men
is atrocious. They never viii learn to
spell according to the rules Of the Eng
lsh language. But if the simplihed
method is adopted I believe it will help
them.
There is no reason why we should
not spell words as they are pro-
nounced. The adoption of this system
tne prejudice against the reform has
disappeared some progress viii be
made in this direction.
StFangeness VIII Soon Wear on.
OF course the new system will seem
strange until people have become ac-
customed to it. So did the old style Of
spelling used by people a generation
ago It was customary to spell the
words labor and honor with the let
ter u and the old fashioned 'labour'
and honour seems as strange to as as
VIII though and although to people
Of a generation hence.
A simplified spelling heard has been
organized for the purpose Of bringing
about reform in spelling. The head OF
this organization is Brander Matthew'S
and other officers in the organization
are readers IN educational and other
lines OF work. am a member Of this
society. We have agreed whenever pos
sihle to use the new method OF spelling
Numbered of Words to Be Increased.
These simple changes will not shock
any one and we gradually viii become
accust tomed to using the words In their
new form and in a few years every one
viii adopt the plan. This movement
has been on foot for sc7ne time. IN a
short time 1t is the PURPOSE Of slle so
ciety tc, enlarge the humber Of words
which viii be spelled the way they ara
pronounced.
For years my brother. who was con-
nected with a college in Iowa. was In
terested in this movement. he visited
the Sandwich islands and my nicCz was
called on to write a composition. the
subject being thu Sandwich Islands.
She came to me for some information
ard referred her to my brother.
He wrote her an interesting letter On
the subject, using the new method OF
spelling. This letter gave much vafua-
bic Information that the other scholars
could not obtain, and was the means Of
my niece winning the prize.
Tor days she studied the letter anu
spent much time in committing 1t TO
mem ,ry. she was asked why she did
not read the letter or submit it in com
position She replied that she was
ashamed to do So as it would show
other scholars what a 'Icor speiler

The sled was badly damaged and the

though fortunately none of them were
seriously injured. Miss Ethel Titus
sustained a badly bruised head and

Aside from the fact that there were
thirteen in the bob sled and several

the prime reason for the accident
seems to have been that the exhfIarat-

did not hear the warning sounded by

"Gossips say Chanler is constantly
riding and driving with Our Amelia
and is to be seen sitting on the porch

when Prince Pierre is at the house he
and Chanler are bons comrades, hunt
ing, fishing golfng, and hobnobbing

What the Article Means.
This article, Chanler alleges, means
that the relations between the plain
tiff and the present husband of his
former wife are Intimate and friendly
because the plaintiff is expending
large sums of money on his former
wife, with whom plaintiff is on q mill
lar terms, imputes to plaintiff impro-
per conduct with her and that Trou-
betzkoy the present husband of the
plaintiffs former wife, is acquiesciug
in such Illicit relationship between the
plaintiff and his former Wife,
Each and every publication in this
alleged statement according to he
complaint, was a false, malicious, de-
famatory libel" BY reason of the
foregoing Chanler claims he has been
injured in reputation and damaged in
the sum of $50 600. He therefore de-
mands judgment against the defend
ants for the sum Of $4,000, with costs
and disbursements.
