GRIMES SAYS NO.
Doesn't Want State to Pay Him Back
Money.

Not long ago Senator F. Dumont
Smith introduced a bill in the senate
appropriating $9,321.25 to reimburse
Frank Grimes, former state treasurer,
for the money he paid to the state to
cover the shortages in the accounts of
the state treasurer's office for which
c C. Coleman, the former attorney
general. held that Mr. Grimes was re-
sponsible
A letter was received today by SEN
ator Smith from Mr.. Grimes which will
strike the public as a manly, straight
forward, honorable statement. 1t
reads as follows:
Topeka. Kan, Feb. -, 1907.
Hon. F. d. Smith,
Senate Chamber, City.
My Dear Senator: 1 have just re-
turned from a fifteen days absence in
Mexico and since my arrival have
learned that you have introduced a bill
in the senate to reimburse me for the
money 1 paid to the attorney general
in settlement of the alleged shortages
that occurred during my administra-
tion as state treasurer. A number of
senators and representatives have
spoken to me about the bill, since my
return yesterday, saying that they be-
lieved that 1 should be REIN bursed by
the state.
When I made settlement with the
state no one wrote me a kinder letter
than did you, approving of my actions
and at the same time saying that you
felt that l had been made the victim
of circumstances. 1 sincerely appre-
ciate the kind and generous motive
which prompted you to introduce this
measure. but with all this, senator,
respectfully and kindly ask that you do
not allow this bill to proceed further.
In paying the state, 1 did what I
thought was right and my actions have
met with the approval of the people
everywhere. even though they may
have felt that / was wronged and
should not have had to pay the money,
when 1 never received any benefit from.
it. 1 have their confidence and this I
want to retain. for any amount of
money is a small thing when compared
with a mans honor and good name
Therefore, 1 must not accept a reim-
bursement, even If both bodies of the
legislature should pass bill unani-
mously voting to refund to me the
money that I paid to the state.
Again expressing my appreciation
of your kindness and interest in me-
and hoping that you will respect my
wishes. I beg to remain.
Respectfully yorus
F. E. GRIMES
This letter was read to the senate
Senator Smith then moved that the bill
be recalled from the ways and means
committee and stricken from the rec
ords of the senate. This motion pre-
vailed.

TOPEKA WILL NOT LOSE.
Senator Long Says the Pension Agency
Will Not Be Removed.

Washington, d. c., Feb FIT is stated
that there is no danger of Topeka losing
its pension agency. Senator Long has
been in consultation several times recent
ly with the committee on appropriations
and it is probable that all pension agen-
cies will go back in the bill reported
by the committee There is a contest in
conference, but 1t is thought the pension
appropriations bill. as it shall become a
law will contain Topeka and the other
agencies stricken out by the house.

Lords. Nothing prettier for valentines.

NOT BACKING WAuA(H

We want the public to know that the
Kauikeaouli Society has nothing to do
with the Wallach appointment, said
VIM. Chung Hoon, the treasurer, and
VIM. Ringer, the marsnaI OF the So
ciety, to a Bulletin reported this morn
ing. I'VE absolutely deny the truth OF
the statements to the effect that the
Wallach petition asking Governor
Frear5to appoint him president of the
Board of Health, has been presented
for the SIGNATURES. OF the members, at
our meeting last Friday night. No
such petition was brought to our no.
tice and we believe that such informa-
tion to that effect was given by an en-
envy, who has no connection with the
society whatever. We don't believe
Wallach would be appointed even if he
had thousands of names on his petit
ton.
1--WE want to correct the error in the
statements. The society was not start
ed for such purposes and even if the
petition was produced in our meeting,
we certainly would have thrown it oui
as quickly as it came in

acute business depression Bankers
believe that monetary conditions will
show improvement as a result of the

bankers of the whole world seem to
be of the opinion that a contraction
of business is necessary for the wei

going through an unusual period of
prosperity and an abnormal expansion
of credit. They believe that not only
should speculation in securities be
discouraged, but measures should be
resorted to that would make such an
undesirable movement impossible

VISIT TO JUNIOR REPUBLIC.
Washington Party to Go by Train
THURSDAY Morning. )

The National Junior Republic at Annap-
oils Junction, Nd, will be visited Thursday,
May 30. by a party conducted under the
auspices Of the Associated Charities. Secre-
tary Charles F. Weller stated this morning
that all persons interested are invited to
join the party, meeting at 8 am. near the
ticket office at the B. & o. depot. The train
will start at $40 am.
This visit Is the last Of series announced
by the Associated Charities. 1t is to be a
kind of picnic excursion. and visitors are in
vited to bring their lunch and spend the day
in the country. Superintendent Leslie w
Baker of the republic states that neighbor-
ing farmers have been engaged to transport
visitors from the railway depot to the farm
on which the National Junior Republic Is
located. although Mr.. Baker says he thinks
the majority will enjoy the walk through
the country.
Special arrangements are being made to
entertain the visitors. and Mr.. Weller states
that he expects the party this year will
equal In number the visitors whom he took
to see the Junior Republic on Decoration
day several years ago. 1t Is said that some
people intending to join the party are al
ready notifying the Associated Charities to
that effect.
The party expects to go rain or shine, as
rainy weather In Washington may not mean

DECISION DEFERRED.
George Washington University Trus-
tees Discuss Building Site.

Preliminary discussion of the proposed
site for the new university building was
held at meeting of the board of trustees
OF George Washington University yester-
day. and the matter was continued until
the next meeting, which will be held June
b. Hoyt Sherman, who represents the heirs
to the Sherman tract. lying north of Florida
avenue and east of 14th street. was in con-
sultation with President Needham, and it
Is understood he presented six different
propositions. ranging from a four-and-one
half-acre offering to an offering Of the en-
tire Sherman tract of about nineteen acres.
It Is stated the Sherman tract, although
more than twice as large, can be obtained
for about the same price as the Dean prop
erty at the head of Connecticut avenue and
Columbia road.
The Sherman tract has been considered
as a possible site for the university, and it
has also been considered in connection with
the Barber property, which lies just to the
north Of part of the tract. The Sherman
property not only has the advantage Of be-
Ing In close touch with the center of the
city, particularly with the government de-
partments. from which George Washington
draws a large number of students, but 1t
Is also large enough to give the university
plenty Of room to spread, a large campus
and an athletic field.
