marked advances to Annis. That she

My dear General: ] have read in the
New York papers yesterday what pur-
ports 20 be a statement made by YOU,
that certain letters written by MIS-
Claudia Libbey Hams look more like
letters manufactured for the purpose of
creating sympathy, and perhaps fur
nishing a possible incentive to insanity,
temporary or otherwise
II wish 10 say, n the most positive
and emphatic terms, that the letters
given out TO the press by our attorneys
as letters written by Claudia Libbey
Hams are neither forgerics nor fabri-
cations Whatever they NAV look like
to YOU or to any one else they are
genuine.
Il have had On intimate knowledge of
these letters, as well as others, ever
since the day following Mrs Hams con-
fession of infidelity, and 7 can vouch
for the authenticity of each and every

TRIES HARD TO AVOID

P. o. Department Says Re-
fuSals of Mails Only IN

The strict precautions taken by the
POstofhce Department 10 guard against
the use Of the department IN advertis-
ing undesirable literature was illus
tTated this morning when Acting Post
master General DeGraw was found
busily scanning the pages Of a book
which had Just come from the pub
fishers.
Mr.. DeGraw was chided by a visitor
Tor spending his time over d book when
he was acting head OF the department.
II am working right now" said Mr..
DeGraw, and it is a mighty tiresome
job. I can tell you"
The Acting Postmaster General was
In the act Of reading a book for the
purpose Of determining whether II was
ma1lable to the Attorney General Of the
United States, particularly, and for dis
tTibution generally. He would not dis
close the title or even the character OF
the book because, he declared, pub
fishers were quick 10 take advantage
of any adverse action taken against

They used this as a means for adver~
Using the book and, Mr.. DeGraw de-
clared, there is no surer medium for
sale TO the curious than proof that the
book is not permitted to go through
the mails.
An announcement Of this character
said Mr.. DeGraw, ''whets the appetite
OF those who are looking for that which
is not allowed on the drawing room
table. 1t IS a trick Of some writer's to
turn out a book of several hundred
pages. give il a suggestive or flashy
title and then have a friend send a
copy of it TO the Postmaster General
with the intimatiOn that the book is
unfit for transmission through the
mails. The book is turned over to the
Attorney General, who must wade
through ii and then decide whether
the book comes under the ban. If II
does, an order is issued fOrbidding it
the mails. Sometimes the title is mis-
leading and the publisher Is then mott
fed that II must be amended or chang
ed in order that &c may have the privi-
lege OF the mails. The department is
very strict in such matters. and nothing
is left undone TO prevent the malls
from being used by schemers to de
fraud the unSuspecting public"
The Washington times., 1908-11-03

Whether it's 10 prove a knockout blow
for Bryan or a Touchdown blow for
Taft. there's one thing certain about the
election OF 1908. and that is that the suf-
fragisIs Of Washington who can't vote
in their own city have deserted the CAPT
tai by the thousands. and will register
their preferences in practically every
State IN the Union today.
While it is difficult to estimate aCCu-
Tately the number OF quOndam citizens
OF the District who have left for other
climes, in order that they may vote,
an approximation of the exodus places
the total at 10000 persons.
Although the Government departments
will not be closed today, there has been
no case reported in which any empIoye
who desired TO go home TO vote failed
in getting of Tor that purpose, and up
10 date it Is estimated that at least g. 200
employees of the Government have gone
away from the city, ostensibly TO vote.
In the Government Printing Office
there are hundreds of vacant places to-
day, and it is probable that almost a
