ANSWERS
To Three Charges Made
Against Him Are Made
by Jerome
WANTS A HEARING

New York, June 16.-District At
torney Jerome today sent his answers
to Governor Hughes to the 6ree addi-
tional specifications against him in
the Kings committee charges. The
three specifications refer to dice
throwing, advising e. R. Thomas,
when under Indictment to cnange his
lawyer, and in offering immunity to
William r. Montgomery under GER
tain considerations.
Irs Concerning the dice throwing incl
dent Mr.. Jerome says:
"That while it is true that he threw
dice in a public restaurant for re-
freshments and a. dollar per throw
with Allan Ryan, son Of Thomas F.
Ryan, the conditions were such at
the time that 1t was apparently as
private place as ones own club, and
that there were not attending the act
any boisterous or unseemly conduct
or other acts calculated to offend or
impair the peace and order of the
community"
Concerning charges against him
that he attempted ito negotiate with
a man whose alleged criminal acts
were under investigation by the grand
jury to who should represent him in
the criminal proceedings" and in
which e. R Thomas is meant, Mr..
Jerome declares that the statement
madC is not full nor fair and that the
conclusions as to his motive and pur-
pose are not justified by these facts,
Mr.. Jerome states that he believed
Morse to have been guilty Of grave
crimes and that Thomas was merely
his tool. He says he was approached
by Karl Decker and the desirability
of his meeting Thomas was suggested
He desired to secure Thomas as a wit
ness for the state against Morse and
he invited him to dinner.
Concerning the Montgomery charge
Mr.. jerome says that Montgomery was
never promised immunity. Mr.. Jerome
says that after the grand jury had
made a presentment about financial

DAUGHTERS SUCCESS
CAUSED TAFT'S SMILE

Washington, June 16.-Secretary
Taft's smile was little broader than
usual this afternoon as he mounted his
horse in front of the war department
to take his daily ride. The passersby
doubtless thought he was gratified at
the first days proceedings of the con-
vention, news Of which reached him
over a special wire. This was true
but that only partially accounted for
the smile.
What probably pleased him more
than any news that reached him today
was the information that his daugh-
ter, Miss Helen Heron Taft, had won
the first Pennsylvania scholarship of
$500 for the student passing the best
entrance examination for Bryn Mawr.
The secretary's daughter graduated
this morning at Baldwin school and
is now at home on her vacation.

affairs, information came to him that
the attorney general or persons con-
nected with his Office had been en-
gagged in criminal practices in connec-
tion with the administration of the
laws relating to such financial institu-
tions."
Mr.. Jerome requests the governor
to grant him a hearing upon the
charges, unless he deems 1t proper to
dismiss them upon the charges them
selves and the answer.

the defendant. The prosecuting wit
ness was badly twisted on the stand
by Welty and McCarty, attorneys for
the defendant, and it is said that an

ney w. J. Piero on behalf of John and

lot No. 1903, this city, which was part
Of the estate of Lorenz Stock. The
petitioners want their interest set Off

their share turned over to them.
John B. Walker, through his attor-
ney, w. J. Piero, has filed suit in COM
mon pleas court naming J. l.. Todd as
defendant and asking for the collec-
tion of $99.74. 1t is alleged that the
plaintiff rented saw-mill to defend
ant with which he was to saw 115,OO0
feet of lumber and for which he was to
pay a rental of $1OO. The petitioner
claims that 221,291 feet of timber were
sawed and claims an additional $85.74.
He also claims that $14 is due him
for the rent of the mill for another job
of saving.
Prosecutor Upham said yesterday
that he would ask for the trial of SUIT
ton, indicted for highway robbery by
the last grand jury, on next Monday.
He also said that he would make ar
rangements for bringing Walter Bry
and Charles Hoberdier from the Mans
field TefoTmatOTy to testify in the
case. They were indicted for the same
offense and pleaded guilty on arraign-
ment.
The trial of Snooks, the alleged
Courtland hotel cigar thief, is un-
certain as the state is not inclined to
go to trial until the question Of the
identity of the man held at the county
Jail is so positively settled that the
! defense will not be able to create a
doubt in the minds Of the jury as to
the identity of the prisoner. 1t is
said the officials who are interested
in the case are sure they have the
right man but that a number of the
former associates of Snooks in this
city do not recognize him in the man
held at the county jail AS long as
this condition exists it is doubtful IL
the state will bring the man to trial
as the defense would be too strong to
| overcome.

PRESIDENT PRAISES HUGHES.
Predicts His Election in Letter to
New York Editor.

President Roosevelt, in letter to c.
B. Wolfram, editor of the New Yorker
HerOld predicts the success of Taft and
Hughes in New York state by large
majority. The President denies the ac-
cusation. that the governor is ilIiberal
or narrow minded Here is his letter:
October -, 1908.
My Dear Mr. Wolffram | think you
for your remembrance of my birthday
Will you let me take this opportunity
to thank you in return for the admir-
able work you are doing for clean and
honest government by your support Of
Taft and Hughes? I have profound
faith in the good sense and conscien-
tious devotion to duty and to high
ideals of my fellowAmerican of Ger
man birth or German parentage. l am
certain that they will go right if only
the facts can be clearly presented to
them, and, thanks largely to your eff
forts. the facts are thus being clearly
presented.
Mr.. Taft stands in the nation and Mr.
Hughes stands in the state for that
high order of government efficiency and
that high standard of governmental
honesty. the union of which is abso-
lutely essential in order to secure good
government.
hered. in public and private life to the
most infleXible standard of honesty and
fair dealing as between man and man.
Each represents what is best i'll Ameri-
can citizenship. Not one word of any
kind can be truthfulIy said against the
private or public character of either.
Each has the broadest sympathies for
his fellow-citizens, for l need hardly
say that the accusation that Gov.
Hughes is narrow and illeberal man
is preposterously false. 1 believe that
the victory of the one in the nation
and the other in the state is assured by
overwhelming majorities. and l thank
you for the way in which. by your eff
forts you have contributed to bring
about this result.
With all regard. believe me- sincerely
yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

There are cheaper laundry soaps than
Fels-Naptha but no other so economical.
Sounds odd, doesn't it,
But it's true.
Fels-Naptha is more economical be-
cause it saves time, saves work, saves the
cost of fuel and makes your clothes wear
twice as long.
Fels-Naptha cleans your clothes in
cool or lukewarm water in summer or
winter without boiling or hot water to
weaken their fabric, and without hard
rubbing to wear them into holes.
1t takes half as long and requires
much less work than the old way.
Try it next washday.
See how white, and clean, and sweet
Fels-Naptha makes your clothes.
Follow carefully the directions on the

The Supreme Court Issue.
The great tragedy of our country from
Bryan's success would fall on the

court for the next twenty years would be
colored and marked by his appointments.
II think our people should be asking
of each other at this time. Should we al
low a demagogue like Bryan to actuate
and control our Supreme Court? Should
judges be appointed by a man who has
taken up every course and laid it down
when 1t did not fill his sails?

such candidate"
In regard to state politics, Carnegie
lauded Gov. Hughes and said he was
gratified to learn that his election was
expected.
"A man like Hughes cannot be kept
down. He stands for all that Is to be
desired in public life. New York would
be disgraced If he failed of election. l
am personally acquainted with Mr.
Hughes and believe he is one of our great
men"
