that Reed Smoot, the Mormon Senator,
took the floor vigorously for the Admins
tration when President Roosevelt's land
policy was under discussion at the Denver

the Citizens Gas company, of Terre

Mr. DIAL had been manager of the
Terre Haute plant for thirty years. but
was recently discharged for the alleg-
ed reason that he was incompetent to
hold his position. Dali objected
strenuously to the action of the di-
rectors of the company and brought in

from discharging him. Dali has been
paid in full up to the last of July and
has retired in favor of E. A. Wakeman.
Mr. DIAL promises hot time for the

morning that the company is in a po-
sition to meet him at this game more

Mr. Witherby alleges that for some
time the affairs of the Terre Haute
plant have been mismanaged by DIAL
and that there was such a general COM
plant that Mr.. Witherby came from
New York to make personal investi-

affairs of the concern in a bad way
