AT CALVARY CHURCH
Christmas Exercises Yesterday Attended by $50 Members
 of Sunday School.

The Christmas exercises in the Cal vary Baptist Bible school, which were held yesterday during the noon hour were In character quite different from those of former years, Believing that giving is the very spirit of Christmas and with a desire to emphasize the truths for which Christmas stands, the teachers and workers planned that the members of the school might have an opportunity to give gifts where they would bring brightness Into the lives of some who might otherwise be neglect ed. The whole school entered Into the plan in the most enthusiastic man ner and the responses far exceeded the expectations of tho leaders.
 The school room had been tastlly decorated, and, following the morning service nearly $50 members of the school with a large number of visitors. | listened with much interest to a pro- gram of singing by the school and primary department, male quartet, and double quartet and recitations by the little folks
 The gifts were then presented by classes each class sending it's contri- ! button to the platform as the teacher announced what the gift was, and where 1t was 10 go, And everybody had share !n this labor of love, from | tne tol or SIX years lp tne ldllHlui friend of seventy. The gifts consist l. ed of two dozen pairs of children's mltttns and stockings, three comfortl- | bles, twenty-five books, two dozen dressed dolls, dozen Christmas din- ners, wearing apparel, nearly seventy | five boxes of candy, a crate of oranges, nuts and fruit and toys almost with l out number, During the week the gifts will find their way into homes and | institutions previously arranged for, and those to whom they are sent find as much pleasure In receiving them as the gNers have in sending them, | Christmas will indeed be merry time,

DELAvAN SMITH SAYS HE
GOT STORY FROM THE SUN

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 6.-Del-
avian Smith, here today on his way to
New York. was shown a copy of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's letter, and made the
following reply:
1.-THE presidents comments on the
Panama editorials are based on state
ments made by prominent New York
man to the New York Sun, which the
Indianapolis News printed at the same
time, with many other papers, giving
full credit to the source from which
they obtained it.
"In making the editorial comment to
which the president takes exception,
the editor of the News credited its in
formation to the New York paper MAX
ing the charge and distinctly disclaimed
any responsibility for it's accuracy.
"This editorial was published in the
ordinary course of the daily routine
of the editorial department at a time
when l was absent from indianapolis,
and therefore could not have been in
spired by any personal motive.
During the campaign information
reached me that Mr.. F'oulke had in his
possession a letter of the nature of the
one now made public, and l was fur
Their informed that it was left by the
president to Mr.. Foulke's judgment
whether the letter should be used in
the campaign. When this information
reached me 1 at once telephoned Mr..
Foulke, extending him the use of the
columns Of the News for this purpose,
but Mr.. Foulke did not see fit to avail
himself of the opportunity during the
campaign. So much for the personal
criticism of me by the president. The
News will deal editorially with the
presidents explanation in due time"

CONVICTED JURY BRIBER is
ALLOWED TO MARRY
LANeDoN PERMITS HIM TO GO
TO SAN RAFAEL
Contractor Blake Declared to Have
Been United to Widow to Whom
He Referred as His Wife in
Confession
[By Associated Press.l

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.-That E.
A. S. Blake, the contractor convicted of
attempting to influence John NJ. Kelly,
venireman in the trial of Abraham
Ruef, to vote for Ruefs acquittal if
chosen on the jury, was allowed to leave
the county jail last Friday to go TO San
Rafael to marry Mrs. Pearl Bennett
was confirmed today by Under Sheriff
Peter J. Haggerty.
Haggerty stated 1t was upon the re-
quest and authorization of District At
torney William H. Langdon that Blake
was permitted to cross the bay and go
to the county seat of Marin county,
where it is said he obtained a license
and was married by a justice of the
peace to Mrs. Bennett, to whom he had
in his confession as his wife.
Blake has not yet been sentenced,
and last Friday he was the prosecu-
tion's star witness against Frank j.
Murphy, one of the attorneys for Abra-
ham Ruef, who also was indicted by
the grand jury in connection with the
attempted bribery of Kelly.
Blake testified that Murphy offered
him $4,000 If he would not tell about
the alleged transaction.

EDITOR OF NEW YORK SUN
REPLIES TO Mr.. ROOSEVELT

NEW YORK, Dec. 6-Mr. Laffan re-
plies to the presidents letter as fol-
lows:
.'The editor of the Sun presents his
compliments to Mr.. Roosevelt and ac-
knowledge his acute sensibility of the
attention which Mr.. Roosevelt has
been good enough to pay him in his
letter to William Dudley Foulke OF In
diana.
Notwithstanding the directness of
his challenge the editor of the Sun
declines a controversy with Mr.. Roose-
Welt He is by no means Indifferent
to the implied compliment discernible
In Mr. Roosevelt's TRADE, but Mr..
Roosevelt has shown in his frequent
collisions with various persons of dis
tinction that he has an overwhelming
advantage over any respectable antag-
onist in his (Mr. Roosevelts) complete
freedom from any sense of personal
obligation in respect to the truth.
1.-THE editor of the Sun is fully alive
to the extremity of the inconvenience
which attaches to a personal contro-
versy with a man who has shown him
self capable of suppression and per-
version of individual correspondence,
an act which in ordinary life would-in
the cognizance of any club or associa-
ton of self-respecting gentlemen-en-
tail his prompt expulsion.
In saying these things we cannot
disguise our chagrln and humiliation
that the person who is addressed is
also the president of the United States.
''It is curious that Mr.. Foulke is pre-
ferred repository of these condolences
of the president. 1t was to him that
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote his memorable let
ter denying that he was using the fed
eral patronage to aid Mr.. Taft's can
didacy, the letter which at once took
its place among the most valued in
cunabula of veracity."
