New York, Dec. S.-The New York

OF the indianapolis News, referred in<
his reply to President Roosevelt,s~at-
tack on him. as authority for his arti-
Gle on the Panama canal, which ap.

a letter from the President. says to.
day:
"In view of President Roosevelts
deliberate misstatements of fact in his
scandalous personal attack on Delvan
Smith, editor of the Indianapolis News,
the World calls upon the Congress
of the United States to make full
and impartial investigation of the en-
tire Panama canal scandal. The in
vestigation of 1906 by the state COM
mittee on inter.oceanic canals was
blocked by the refusal of William Mel
son Cromwell TO answer pointed ques-
tions of Senator Morgan. Since that
time nothing has been done to carry
VIZ INV SiCot WI n VI lGNSdllHS llC
truth of the Panama corruption
THE Indianapolis News said in it's
editorial. for which President Roose-
welt assails Editor Smith, that it has
been charged that the United States
bought from American citizens for
forty million dollars property that cost
those citizens only $12,000,0O0. There
is no doubt that the government paid
the forty millions. but who got the
money, asks the editorial Mr.. Roose-
velt's reply to this most proper ques-
tion is for the most part a string of
abusive and defamatory epithets, but
he also makes the statement that the
United States did not pay a cent to
American citizens, but that, the forty
million dollars was paid directly to
the French government. and that he
had no knowledge of a syndicate in the
United States. To the best Of the
Worlds knowledge and belief all these
statements are untrue and Mr.. Roose-
vet must have known they were un-
true when he made them"
The World then gives long details
to prove the truth of it's position.

FROM SYLVANITE
Trains to Start Out in Few Days
Rich Mineral on the Dumps Of
Several Mines.

Sylvanite, N. NJ, Dec. S.--Sylyanite
is enjoying a healthy boom. More
deals have been closed this week than
any week since the camp begun. Get
ting ready to ship is the order of the
day. Men are at work sorting ore at
the Clemmie or Holcunb property and
shipment will be made in a few
days.
Yesterday morning teams be-
gan hauling ore from the Makeup
Charlie and Broken jug. The Wood
mine, recently sold to the Pierson
brothers and w. E. Irwin, is rapidly
getting into shape to make regular
shipments. A mine car and track are
being installed and the three-hundred-
foot tunnel Strengthened. At the Hand
car tunnel of the Sylvanite Gold and
Development company the first mine
car in the district is in operation and
and the tunnel is being driven as fast
as three shifts can push it.
The most important sale of last
week was the transfer of the Neder-
land or Allen property to prominent
Colorado operators. This valuable
property is well located between the
Clemmie and Gold Hill mines. The
deal was made by F. M. Benedict of
Sylvanite who will have charge of the
development work at the property,
which is being prosecuted with three
shifts of miners.

Case of Mistaken Identity.

Inquiry today at the territorial pen

oner by the name of Francisco Mar
tnez had ever been pardoned from the
local prison. There is a prisoner by
that name now serving life sentence
for murder, having been sent up from
Rio Arriba county. The Identification
of the murderer of the Garcia family
as an ex-New Mexico convict is, no

EMBROIDERY HOOPS.

Tho Best Covering 10 Tape an Inch
Wide.
II rings or embroidery hoops are
used, they should be frequently re-
wrapped. 1t is not unusual to see
hoops in the hands of apparently dain.
ty women so dirty they are a disgrace
to her cleanliness not to speak of the
ruinously black lines they leave ON the
work.
The best covering for hoops is a very
thin tape about an inch wide, wound
80 that one edge just barely laps over
the other AS whole bot of tape
may be bought for a few cents, there
is absolutely no excuse for dingy Gov
erings.
The silver rings In vogue several
years ago are really not very practical.
If wrapped they had much better be
wood, and If unwrapped the inevitable
furnishing, unless the greatest care Is
exercised, will leave ugly stains on
delicate materials.
The two parts OF the embroidery
hoops should fit so tightly that GER
tain amount of pressure must be ex-
erted to at them together after the
work is spread on them. Fit the work
smoothly over the lower ring before
putting on the top. If there is the
slightest wrinkle or the work says the
effect is much worse than If no hoops
were used.
