PRESIDENT DENIES FAVORTlSM
Declares No Federal Appointments
 Made to Aid Taft.

Washington, D. C.-President Roose- welt in long letter addressed to William Dudley Foulke of Rich mond, Ind, takes occasion vehemently to deny the charge that he has been influenced in making recent federal appointments by the candidacy of Sec retary Taft for the presidency. and that only men favoring his nomination have been given appointments.
 The statement is given out in an swer to letter from MT. Foulke, him. self Taft man, citing specific charges made by newspapers. The president unhesitatingly brands these charges as both false and malicious" The gen. eral statement is made that the can didacy of no man has in any way in fuenced the president in making his nominations. Several specific charges are taken up and passed with the statement that the appointments were made in the usual manner, upon the recomni ndation of senators or repre- sentatiyes. In the South, where the members of congress are not of the presidents party, he is forced. he says, to defer to the judgment of his own party leaders in the different states.

No Raise for Postal Men.

Washington-The house committee on postoffices and post roads virtual " agreed to recommend adversely aV bills and department estimates in- creasing the salaries of postoffice em- ployes for the next fiscal year. This decision does not, of course, have any reference to classification increases regularly provided for. The commit tee feels that the estimated postal def felt of $l0,500000 for the next fiscal year will be largely increased by fall ing revenues, and in view of this fact and of the substantial increases grant ed last year, has practically decided that the raising of salaries can not be countenanced at this time.

Indian Appropriation aill un.

Washington-A brief, but fierce speech by MT. Leake of New Jersey. In which he outlined his opposition to William J. Bryan as candidate for the presidency, received somewhat the monotony of the debate on the h. dian appropriation bill in the house Monday. MT. Leake charged Mir. Bry- an with taking the big stick from the pr esldent, leaving the latter only a big slipper, and he further credited the democrats in the house with having usurped the right of free action of the delegates to Denver by nominat- ing MT. Bryan In advance. His re- marks were greeted with misses from the democrat side of the house.
 Considerable progress was made with the Indian appropriation bill, which was amended so that the commissorl- CT of Indian affairs, before he carries out the policy of abandoning non-res- ervation schools, shall investigate the question fully and report to the house at it's next session. Another amend ment restored the appropriations for the Indian schools at Fort Lewis. Col, Carson City. New. and Mount Pleas- ant, Mich.

SCORES CORTELY0U
CULBERSON CHARGES SPEcULAT-
 ING BANKS WERE AIDED.
ASKS FOR AN INVESTIGATION
Received More Than Their Just Share.

Washington, D. C.-Senator Gull person of Texas, Democratic leader in the senate charged on the floor of the senate Thursday that Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou had violated the law in six respects in his handling Of the finances during the panic.
 He demanded that the secretary be called on to furnish the senate with all correspondence between his office and the New York banks that would show whether he had supplied funds to the New York banks only for relief through them of the Western and Southern bankers, or for use in spec ulation.
 Secretary Cortelyou, according to MT. Culberson, violated the law by depositing money in New York banks greater share of the funds than their combined capital permitted.
 New York Banks got One-Third.
 With only one-sixth the total capital New York banks got one-third of all the public moneys between August and December, said Mir. Culberson.
 MT. Culberson said that Secretary Cortelyou had also broken the law by issuing the Panama bonds when they were not needed for canal expenses by excluding private bidders and ac- cepting only national bank bidders for the bonds by using the proceeds for the bonds for other than canal ex- penses, by issuing per cent certifi- cates when they were not needed to lowing banks to issue notes on these certificates instead of on registered bonds

TAKE NEGRO
 FROM MILITIA
MISSISSIPPI MOB KILLS SELF. CONFESSED BLACK WHILE
 SOLDIERS LOOK ON.
BRUTALITY ikFlAMES CROWD
Father of Prisoners Victim klocked Down by Member of Guard Leaders Are All
 Known.

Bi ookhaven, Miss.-Angered by the alleged brutal action of a member of the state militia ordered out to protect Eli Pigot, negro, &C., cused of attacking a white girl, mob Monday morning riddled the black with bullets and hanged him to tel ephone pole while a company of Brook haven guardsmen looked on.
 Pigot, wha had been in jail at Jack son. had confessed his guilt. but was brought here on train early Monday to go through the formality of a trial and sentence. Fearing trouble, the governor had ordered the local com- pany of state militiamen to meet the train and protect the negro during the trial. Tom Williams, father of Pigot's victim, was among the crowd which gathered at the station. He crowded close to the car to get look at Pigot as he stepped from the car and was knocked down by a soldier.
 Mob Suddenly Inflamed.
 In a moment the crowd of spectators was transformed into a mob. Sweep ing aside the militiamen, members of the mob rained hundred bullets into Pigot's body. Before life was extinct a rope was placed around his neck and he was suspended to the crossbar of a telephone pole.
 Hardly a word was spoken after Will Hams was knocked down. The crowd as one man, seemed to accept the blow as signal for united action No eff fort was made to conceal the identity of the members of the mob and they are well known.
 It is probable that warrants will be sworn out and an effort made to pun. ish those who participated in the lynehing, but from the temper of pub lie sentiment here it will apparently be difficult to obtain a conviction.
 What action will be taken against the members of the state militia is not known.

 Europe.

New York.-When Chas. w. Morse. the wrecked bank monopolist, lands from the Cunard line steamer Etruria next Saturday he will be arrested by county detectives armed with warrants charging grand larceny.
 The New York county grand jury handed down it's grand larceny indict- ments to Judge Victor J. Bowling af- ter spending several hours questioning Morses former associates who knew the details of a note transaction in- yolving S100000 that technically, at least, belonged to former Judge Nor gan J. OBrien.
 It is said that the United States grand jury has drawn up indictments charging overcertification, ordered by MT. Morse as yicc-2resident and con trolling owner of the National Bank of North America, and other charges. These prospective indictments are now being examined by a treasury depart ment legal expert, who came on from Washington for the purpose.
 It was learned that MT. Morse is re- sponsible for much more paper in the suspended National Bank of North America than the s250,000 worth on which Receiver Hanna recently brought suit, and which bears the former ice kings name. The receiver has been prodding the makers of other notes. which do ot seem to be suffi- ciently secured
 It is said that Morse direct and in- direct paper in the National sank of North America will amount to more than $1 ,000 900.
