One New York PooIroom Clears $780,.

New York, April 3.-The poolroom
situation in New York is again at.
tracing attention, following two i'm.
portant raids made by the district at
torney's office. One Of the places raid
ed was In Lower Broadway and the
other at 112 Fulton street. Both ap-
parently were distributing points of
information for a chain of poolrooms
and important books and papers re-
garding the illegal business, together
with list of names of patrons, some
prominent in business and official life,
were seized.
District Attorney Jerome has had
his assistants examine the seized doc
uments and he has made public some
Of the surprising things they found.
The books show that five men in the
Fulton street poolroom syndicate made
a profit of over $4,000 monthly for
many months. The profits for year
are placed at s250,0OO, indicating what
little chance majority of betters
have. These immense profits, it is
stated, were made with a capital Of
$4,000
The patrons Of the poolrooms in
cluded men prominent in business,
social and official circles, according to
records, letters and checks found. The
names Of many of these men will be
made public through grand jury pro-
ceedings which the district attorney
is about to institute.

TENTIoN TO DUTY.

Washington, April 3.-Captain Will
lam Swift, who was in command of
the battleship Connecticut when it
grounded near Culebra on Jan. 10,
was found guilty of inattention and
neglect of duty by the courtmartial
which tried him at Norfolk. The navy
department reviewed the sentence and
it was announced by Assistant secre.
tary Newberry that Captain Swift will
be suspended from duty for nine
months and will lose three numbers.
The courtmartial recommended sus-
pension for year and a half and a
loss of five numbers, but as the court
asked that Captain Swift be dealt
with leniently the department reduced
the sentence.

BUT PRESIDENT BRANDS HARRI-
MAN LETTER A DELIBERATE
AND WILLFUL UNTRUTH.
RAILROAD MAN SPRINGS SENSATION
DECLARES HE RAISED BIG SUM
FOR REPUBLICANS AT RE-
QUEST OF ROOSEVELT.

Washington, April 3-President
Roosevelt emphatically denies the
statement contained in a letter pub
lished in New York purporting to
have been written by e. H. Hartman
to Sidney Webster of New York in
the latter part Of December, 1905. In
Mr.. Harriman's letter the statement is
made THAT at the request Of President
Roosevelt he, Hartman, assisted in
raising a fund Of 100000 to be used
ID carrying New York for the Repub.
ioan party at the election which was
then approaching. This statement the
president characterizes as "a deliber-
ate and willful untruth-by right it
should be characterized by an even
shorter and more ugly word. + never
requested Mr.. Hartman to raise a
dollar for the presidential campaign of
1904" -r.>-
The presidents denial was con-
tained in a brief statement and in
copies Of letters he had written to
Representative Sherman of New York.
The letters are dated Oct. and Oct.
IL, 1905, respectively. The president,
after furnishing the letters to the
press, dictated the following state
ment: -.. ....
after writing these letters to Con-
gresham Sherman the president was
assured that Mr.. Hartman had not
made the statements which Mr.. Sher-
man credited him with making. mas
much as the same statements appear
In the major part in the letter Of Mr..
Hartman now published the president
deems it proper that the letters he
sent to Congressman Sherman last
October shall now themselves be made
public"
Hartman Dislikes Roosevelt.
In the first letter reference is made
to conversation between Mr.. Harri-
man and MI. Sherman, which was re-
peated to the president, in which Mr..
Hartman is said to have given as a
reason for his personal dislike Of the
president partly the latter's deter
mination to have the railroads super
vised and partly the alleged fact that
after promising Mr.. Hartman to ap-
point Senator Depew ambassador to
France he, the president, failed to do
it, "and," continues the president, Il
understood you to say that he alleged
that made this promise at a time
when he had come down to see me in
Washington when requested him to
raise 100000 for the Republican pres
idential campaign which was then on
Some correspondence between the
president and Mr.. Hartman is then
quoted, the intention being to show
that Hartman favored Hyde as well
as Depew for ambassador to France
and that the president did not request
Hartman to come to Washington in
the interest Of his own campaign and
that he did not make any request Of
any kind for financial help. Hartman
is further accused of saying he "a
vored "Hearstism and the like, be-
cause those people are crooks and we
can buy them" This, the president
says, was doubtless partly in boastful
cyhicism and partly in burst Of bad
temper, but 1t showed, in the pres
dents opinion, a cynicism and deep
Seated corruption which he denounces
