back of his head, William kilgore. a
steamboatman from Pittsburg, was
found Saturday night by Patrolmen
Johnson and Cross near Second street
and Kentucky avenue. When taken
to the city hall Kigore had $51 in his
pockets, and II is HARD for the police
to account how the highwaymen
missed the money unless frightened
away. The wound on the back of his
head resembled one that might have
been made with sand-bag. Kilgore
was drunk and was locked up or this

pose,

Washington, Feb. 1O.-President
Roosevelt made answer TO the recent
public statement that he has made
use of federal patronage to further the
presidential interests of Secretary
Taft. The answer Is in the form of a
letter add ~essed to William Dudley
Foulke, OF Richmond, Ind, and in
cludes a letter from Mr.. Foulke to
the president suggesting the need of
such statement.
The correspondence in part fol-
lows:
Mr.. Foulke says:
ION January 9Th, | laid before you
an article in an Indianapolis news
paper supporting the candidacy Of
Mr.. Fairbanks, accusing you of using
federal patronage to secure the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Taft, and naming the
postofiice In particular.
"On my return home | observed
other articles making similar charges
in various papers. for instance the
following in the New York Evening
Post of January 10TH
I'VE are now getting daily lessons
in civil service reform from the
white house which ought to attract
national attention. The appointment
of Taft workers to the postoffice in
Ohio and of the totally unfit George
w. Wanamaker as appraiser of this
port is now followed by the presi-
dents refusal to reappoint a good
Hughes man collector of customs at
Plattsburg.'
ION January II, an article charg-
ing you with similar abuse of patron
age appeared in the Indianapolis Star
a paper also supporting Mr.. Fairbanks
and reputed to be owned principally
by Daniel G. Reid, a gentleman rep
resenting important Wall street inter-
ests. This article l sent -you.N
ITO this you answered:
"Will you produce the name OF a
single man whom / have coerced or
influenced, will you give me the
name of any official who has been
controlled by threat or implied threat
of dismissal or from whom have
demanded support for Taft
"You cannot do so, and as you can
not why do you repeat this challenge
to the newspapers in question. assert
that these words are absolutely false
and challenge them to make good"
81 accordingly wrote to the Star,
asking II to name q single case of the
coersion referred TO in its previous
issues. IL published an answer to-
my letter, but failed TO name any in
stance of the kind. though 1t still con-
tinues to repeat its general charges
of abuse of patronage. These charges
also continue to be circulated by
other newspapers in all parts of the
country"
