GARFIELD DEFIEs DAVIS.
Refuses to Furnish Statement De
nanded by Senator.

Washington, May Before the
senate committee on Indian affairs
Secretary Garfield declined to furnish
a statement made to him by Mr..
Rosenwinkle, in which, it is said, the
latter charged that some of the judges
Of the citizenship court of Indian Ter
ritory and some United States Off
Gals had been bribed in connection
with the Choctaw and Chickasaw citi-
zenship proceedings in that territory.
The demand for the production Of this
statement was made by Senator JEFF
Davis and when the secretary refused
to produce it, which he did, he said,
because it was unsubstantiated, Mr..
Davis threatened to discuss the SUBJ
ject on the floor of the senate. Mr..
Garfield, however, was undaunted and
replied that the senator was at lib
erty to make any statement on the
floor of the senate that he might see
fit

Their proposition was that the presi,

of Coal Operators and President Lewis
agree upon a third person, some i'm
partial outsider, who would settle the
differences.

APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT
Hundreds Write Daily Asking Him
to Accept denomination.
VARIOUS ARGUMENTS USED
Chief Executive Answers All Letters
by Referring to His Former Dec.
iarations and Reiterates That His
Position Is Unchanged.

Washington, May THAT be-
tween three and four hundred letters
are received daily at the White House
urging President Roosevelt to run
again is asserted on good authority.
These letters come from all parts of
the country, 1t is said, from members
of all political parties and in them
various arguments are used by the
writer's to induce Mr.. Roosevelt to
again accept nomination.
The letters have increased In vol
ume in the last few weeks and some
of them are said to be almost tragic
in their earnestness. The writer's ar.
que that the president is in the thick
of his campaign for the establishment
of complete government control over
interstate commerce and other re-
forms; that it is impossible to trans
fer this work successfully to another,
since Mr.. Rooseyelt's personality is a
powerful factor in achieving this sue
cess; that the Republican party can
not afford to nominate any man who
Is not sure of election and that the
president is the only Republican who
would be certain to defeat any other
candidate.
In all of his replies to such letters
the president simply reminds his cor
respondents of his former declara-
tiOns on tho sIhiacf and roitoratoc
that his position is unchanged.

Of Policy. -

held party love feast at the Reform
club to welcome their new chief, Pre-
mter AsQuith, and give him an oppor-

ton, after which the premier pro-
cseded to outline his programme. He
nailed to the mast the flags Of free
trade, education, licensing and old age
pensions, but he fought shy of home
rule. This subject was not mentioned
ut all in his speech and in this fact
is found confirmation of the rumors
current during and since the election
campaign in the Northwest division of
Manchester that the premier had noti-
ned Winston Spencer Churchill, who
has just been defeated in that dis
trict, Of his disapproval of Mr..
Churchill's pledges to the Nationalist
regarding home rule. Mr.. Asquith did
not enunciate any new principles in
his address. ....a
Speaking in the house Of commons
later Premier Asquith rectified his
omission to mention home rule in his
speech at the Liberal meeting at the
Reform club and gave practically
complete adhesion to the home rule
pledges given by Winston Spencer
Churchill during the recent electoral
campaign at Manchester.

NEW BILL is DOOMED.
House Committee Opposed to Vree

lana Currency Measure.
Washington, May The house
committee on banking and currency
had a brief meeting, but declined to
proceed for the purpose of taking up
the new Vreeland currency bill. The
vote for adjournment stood IL to 3,
the negative votes being cast by
Messrs. Burton, Weeks and Mckinney.
The negative vote is supposed to rep
resent the strength of the new bill
and it is inferred that that measure
will be tabled as was the first Vree-
land bill, if it ever reaches a vote in
committee. The bill was not discussed
at any length, most of the members
claiming that they had not had time
to read it and others saying that il
was in effect the old bill put in new
form. The committee will meet again
neKt Monday.
