While his country Is seething with

Dutch warships are rounding up his

prisals, President Cipriano Castro. Of
Venezuela. is enjoying himself huge

Rebuffed by the French government
and his tongue muzzled, the Ven

cheered up after he crossed the from

from Kaiser Wilhelm and his officials.
Taking the entire front of one of the
most expensive hotels there, he has

Delighted by his enthusiastic recep-
tion, Castro announced his determine
ton TO prolong his visit and distribute
among the German tradesmen the
large sum of money he intended to
spend in Paris.
AS a preliminary move in this d.
rection he issued a public invitation

THE SPY MESSAGE
MATERIAL PLENTY
REQUEST OF THE HOUSE WILL
BE COMPLIED WITH
AT ONCE.
THE RESOLUTION PASSED
Roosevelt Will Give Prompt Answer
to the Demand Of the House for In.
formation.

The House of Representatives on
Thursday adopted a resolution asking
The president for evidence which in
pired the so-called spy message"
which resolution follows:
Resolved. That the president be re-
ruested TO transmit to the house any
whence upon which he based his
tatements that the chief argument in
lavor Of the provision was that the
congressman did not themselves wish
10 be investigated by secret service
men. and also TO transmit to the house
I ny evidence connecting any member
If the house of representatives of the
: ixtieth congress with corrupt action
In his official capacity and TO inform
ne house whether he has instituted
roceedings for the punishment of any
UGH individual by the courts or has
reported any such alleged delinquen-
sizes to the house of representatives"
Those members of congress who
have been on the griddle because Of
their fears of what the president
might say in report regarding the
secret service, may as well rest In
peace.
His reply to the request from the
house for information will be on a
nigh plane and will not disturb the
Blumber of any uneasy statesman.
The president is ready to answer,
but he has such a mass of material
that 1t will not be possible to present
1t till after the holiday recess.
1t can be stated that the report will
show that secret service agents havs
never been used to shadow members
of either house of congress, but ii will
deal strongly with the fact that con-
gress has hampered the detection OF
crime by taking from the president
this potent machine.
This is true even in the treasury,
where lawbreaking in the customs SER
vice and the internal revenue have had
freer rein since congress compelled
the secret service TO devote itself TO
counterfeiters alone.
Much has been made OF the charge
that the secret service has been used
to work up a divorce case for a naval
officer, but this will be shown to have
referred TO a midshipman toward
whom the government stands in loco

WASHINGTON NOTES.

William H. Taft, president-elect OF
the United States, announced the APP
pointment of United States Senator
Philander c. Knox of Pennsylvania as
secretary of state in his cabinet.
That the United States should have
the right of appeal to the federal SUI
preme court as matter of right when
ever conviction is reversed on APP
peal by a defendant to a circuit court
of appeals, is the opinion expressed by
Atty. Gen. Bonaparte in his annual re-
port, submitted to congress. He cites
of the reversas of the fine of $29,-
100000 against the Standard Oil Com
pany.
The house of representatives by
unanimous vote adopted resolution
requesting the president to supply IL
with an evidence that may be in his
possession that will justify the state
ment in his last annual message In re-
lation to the attitude of members OF
congress toward appropriations for the
secret service of the government.
The senate adopted a resolution Tor
an investigation of the inference In
the presidents message that members
of congress fear the probing of secret
service officers.
It was authoritatively announced In
New York that the offer of cabinet
position to Congressman Theodore
Burton of Cleveland had been with
drawn by Mr.. Taft and would not be
renewed.
President Roosevelt sent a message
to congress denouncing Joseph Pulit-

ment to prosecute the publisher of

libel. The World replied with an

THE DUFFY CASE
ENDS SUDDENLY
THE LETTERS OF MISS LENNON
CAUSE THE RELEASE OF
RESPONDENT.
GIRL CLAIMS INNOCENCE
The Letters Which Freed the Man
Are Kept From the Public and the
Woman Goes Free Also.

Because OF a discrepancy between
the testimony of Myrtle Lennon on
the witness stand and in her letters
to Joseph Duffy. charged with drown
ing her baby in Saginaw river, Judge
Gage, on recommendation of Prosecu-
tor Purcell, discharged the prisoner
and entered an order that the case be
nolle pressed.
AS soon as he heard he was free,
Duffy violently shook the prosecutors
hand and Mrs. Duffy patted her hus-
band on the back. His three children
noisily greeted him. Many of his
friends congratulated him.
Most OF the credit of my vindica-
ton is due to my wife," he said, land
hope to repay this in after years.
Luckily, / saved all the letters Myrtle
Lennon wrote me, putting them into a
little iron trunk for safe-keeping.
Miss Lennon was not in court when
the case was dismissed, but when seen
later wept and said:

but am innocent. do not know how

to write those letters to get money
from him"
In these letters Miss Lennon de-
clared that she had no baby" that
"he would be surprised to learn the
good news" and that she had under
gone an operation. Most of the letters
asked him for money, and several APP
pointments were made 10 get him on
different evenings just preceding the
Wednesday Miss Lennon left the hos
pital, but they were not kept because
Miss Lennon delayed in leaving.
The letters covered 13 typewriter
pages. The first one Miss Lennon
wrote Duffy was the most important
of all and was mailed 10 him a day
or two after she went TO the hospital.
1t is practically settled that no
charges of any kind will be made
against Miss Lennon either for per-
jury or in connection with the drown
ing of the babe, it being held by the
authorities that no conviction can now
be secured.

THE OILY HAND.
The Attorrey-GeneralshIp Matter OF
Great interest.


Is Standard Oil trying to dictate
who shall be the encouragement in
the Taft administration? Ii is charged
that the great corporation has under
taken by indirect methods to this, the
purpose. of course, being to bring
about the abandonment, in whole or
in part, of the existing crusade against
them.
Their fear seems TO be that unless
something of this kind can be accom-
plished the fight against them will run
along through the Taft administration.
but that a friendly Encouragement
would be of a disposition TO let them
alone. The facts are well known in
the White House. and there is no at
tempt TO disguise the anxiety Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt He has referred TO
the matter TO several of his friends,
and one Il his purposes in the forth
coming visit to Mr. Taft in Georgia
will be to put the case before him
from President Roosevelt's point of
view. The president frankly admits
that he is alarmed AS il is under
stood Taft has made no promises re-
garding the attorney-generalship, but
he is believed TO have lent such a
willing ear to certain things said to
him during his recent visit TO New
York as to cause his friends some
worry.
The negotiations, so far as the Stan
dard Oil interests are concerned, have
been conducted by Henry w. Taft,
half-brother to the president-elect, and
well known business man.
