reasons"
Grafton, N. D., March 9.
Editor Evening Times:
Herewith is copy of letter sent to
the Evening Press of your city in an
swer to certain statements made by
that paper editorially. We ask your
paper to publish the letter, the Even
ing Press having failed so to do:
To the Evening Press:
In recent issue of your valued pa
per there appears big headline
front-page article attacking house bill
SO, commonly called the blacksmith's
lien law. Now, the writer's do not in
tend to go into a newspaper argument
at this time on the merits or dement's
of the bill, but your statement right on
the start is so rank that we can not
help but speak out. You say that the
only paid lobbyists now at Bismarck
are few railroad officials and attor-
neys and those maintained by the
blacksmiths. This first crack at us
shows very evidently that the party
that wrote your article was working
overtime for somebody, and we don't
think it was for the blacksmiths,
either. The blacksmiths don't get
much front-page work in on the pa
pers, and, if the bill in which we are
interested is turned down on the fin
ish, We must lay it to the fellow that
is able to get in his work on your
valued paper for nothing.
We have no pay to offer, but sincere
ly hope you will grant this letter some
obscure space, just to kind of square
yourself in claiming we have paid lob
byists. Yours truly,
Lafleur Bros,

NEW YORK DELEGATES
UNRESTRICTED

NEW YORK, Nov. 11-(SpeciaD -
Charles F. Murphy and his friends
in Tammany have already decided,
after consultation with Chairman
William J. Corners, of the Democrat
ic State committee, or so it was said
today on excellent authority, that the
New York Democratic delegation to
the national convention next year,
consisting of seventy-eight delegates,
including four delegates at-large,
shall not be pledged to any Presiden-
tial candidate
Tammany politicians are already
beginning to ask questions about
Mayor Tom Johnson, of Cleveland.
They are on the lookout for man to
beat Bryan in the next Democratic
national convention.
The Democratic State convention,
to elect four elegates-at-large to
the national convention, will be con-
trolled by State Chairman Corners
and Mr.. Murphy. 1t is accepted as
matter of course that they will be
two of the four delegates at-large.
The other two have not been selected.
Friends of Lieutenant Governor
Chanler say that unless he receives
the Endorsement of his home State he
cannot be an important factor in the
national convention.

MILITARY FITNESS
OF NON-RIDERS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IL
SpeciaD-Twelve army officers, a
part of the total number who failed
to take the test ride recently pres
scribed by Roosevelt, have been sum-
moned before retiring board at
Washington barracks this week to
undergo an examination to determine
their fitness to continue to discharge
the military duties they at present
perform.
1t is not generally believed, how
ever, that the President intends to
make any wholesale retirements. The
understanding at the War Department
is that if an officer is physically able
to discharge the duties upon which
he is at present is engaged he will be
retained in the service, although he
may be unable physically to ride a
horse fifteen miles over battlefield.
1t is freely declared that only a
very small proportion of high ranking
officers-line and staff could pass
the mildest kind of physical exami-
nation. Among the officers of high
rank in poor health holding responsi-
BILE positions with credit are Major
General Bell, chief of staff; Major
General Ainsworth, adjutant general,
and Major General Weston. who is to
succeed Gen. Wood in command Of
the troops in the Philippines. They
are generally recognized as among the
ablest and most efficient officers in the
army, but it is questionable if any one
of the three could withstand the hard
ships of a real campaign.

NEW YORK, Nov. -(SpeciaD =
Hearing in the government suit

magnate, and Otto H Kahn, of the
banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Com
pany, requiring them to show cause
why they should not answer certain
questions asked by the interstate
commerce commission, will be re-
sumed tomorrow. The queries to
which Hartman and Kahn refused
to reply, by advice of counsel, con-
Germ the purchase of the Illinois Cen
trail stock by the Union Pacific
through the Kuhn, Loeb company
The commerce commission sought
also to probe into Mr.. Harriman's
connection with the sensational es-
adjustment of the Union Pacific
stock on a 10 per cent basis. 1t is
alleged that the announcement of the
dividend advance was held back in
order to give these in the Hartman
ring" a chance to buy The stock
advanced twenty points following the
announcement, and it is alleged that
Hartman and his friends profitted
hugely through the operation.
