FORAKER IS ON war Path
RESOLVES TO HAVE PRESI-
DENTS LETTERS MADE PUBLIC.
Senator Rayner Of Maryland Is All
Ready to Make Speech on the
Stewart Case.

Senator Foraker of Ohio is determined
to see that the letters which the Presi-
dent has written to Senators Smith Of
Michigan. Rayner of Maryland and Stew
art of Vermont, asserting his absolute
supremacy In the control of the army and
navy and his intention to disregard any
bill that may direct the re-enlistment of
the colored soldiers discharged In connec-
tion with the Brownsville affair, are made
public. Mr. Foraker intimated last night
that he would wait to see whether the
President made them public upon his re-
turn from Pine Knot, Va, and If this
were not done he would feel 1t his duty
as senator to call the matter to the
attention of the Senate.
1t is not likely that he will introduce
a resolution In the Senate tomorrow CEN
suring the President for interference With
the Legislative branch of the government
and calling upon him for the letters in
question. because the President will prob
ably not get back from Pine Knot before
Monday afternoon. Something hot may
be looked for Tuesday, however, IL the
President does not act first.
President May Act First.
There Is a we'll defined rumor abroad
that Mr.. Roosevelt intends to make the
letters public soon as he gets back to
this city in order TO forestal any attempt
to discredit him that Mr.. Foraker may
have in mind However this may be-
there is sure to De some mention of the
matter in the Senate within a few days.
because Mr.. Foraker yesterday gave
notice that tomorrow he would call up his
bill for the reinstatement of the colOred
soldiers and get II before the Senate as
soon as the way is clear of appropriation
bills.
Senator Rayner who Is interested in the
case Of Col William f. Stewart, whom
the President has banished to a desert
post in Arizona for alleged misconduct
and without court-martial, is prepared
to introduce his resolution calling for an
investigation OF this affair either tomor-
row or Tuesday, 1t is said. and expects to
have something interesting to say about
the matter.
Can't Be Separated.
1t is rumored that Mr.. Rayner is very
anxious to keep his little matter separate
from the Brownsville debate, but this is
conceded by most senators to be impossi-
BILE, In view Of the fact that the President
sent a copy of his letter to Mr.. Rayner
on the Stewart case to Senator Stewart
when he wrote to the latter concerning
the Brownsville debate. Both questions
involve the Presidents rights as COM
mander In chief of the army, and Will be
considered in connection with each other.

ness for the complainants In the present
proceeding, was dismissed. He said he
had many conferences with Julian while
the Tillinghast case was under investiga-
tion.

possible for Tillinghast to have served
on twenty-five juries in the city court
without his name being on the panel.
Smyth said Tillinghast told him the
him serve. as they could pocket his
fees. He did not need the fees, Tilling-
hast said. because he was well paid Tor
his services by Stanley Bagg.
Replying to a question, Mr.. Smyth said
he had heard that the court clerks some
times indicated preferences as to. how
cases should go. not only where railroads
were involved. but In the cases Of other
defendants. He said he had never heard
from Stanley Bagg or any one else that

the first or the middle Of the month word

to go down and see whether any Of the
jurymen were recognized.

nor Sheldon today notified the re-

It was explicitly understood that he

IL reelected, that he would not
remain on the ticket. Governor
Sheldon is a strong believer in this
plank advocated by the platform of
the Great Nebraskan, and had la
bored had to have the plank inserted
in the state platform of the repub-
lican party, but failed. 1t was his
chagrin over the defeat OF this plank,
and his firm belief that it was sup
pressed by conspiracy entered int
between the bankers and his state,
that prompted him to take the above
action.
