ELECT TAFT AND
G.O.P CONGRESS
PRES. ROOSEVELT.
EXECUTIVE WRITES HIS VIEWS
TO CHAIRMAN VIM. 3.
MCKINLEY.

OYSTER BAY. N. Y, Sept. 21.-lr
reply TO letter from William B. Nc
Kinley, chairman of the Republican
congressional committee, Presiden
Roosevelt has written a letter com
mending Judge Taft's candidacy and
the work OF congress In the last sever
years.
The first part Of the letter review!
the important work Of congress OF the
last two Republican administrations
Then the president says:
1t IL urgently necessary, from
the standpoint OF the public In
terest, to elect Mr.. Taft, and
Republican congress which will
support him; and they seek cleo
ton on a platform which spe-
cifically pledges the party. alike
In its executive and legislative
branches, to continue and develop
the policies which have been not
merely professed but acted upon
during these seven years. These
policies can be successfully car
ried through only by the hearty
cooperation OF the president and
congress In both its branches.
and 1t Is therefore particularly
important that there should obtain
such harmony between them. To
fail to elect Mr.. Taft would be
calamity to the country; and II
would be folly. while electing him,
yet at the same time to elect a
congre ss-hostife TO him, con-
gress which under the influence
OF partisan leadership would be
certain to thwart and battle him
on every possible occasion. To
elect Mr. Taft, and at the same
time to elect congress pledged
TO support him. liz the only way
I'm which To perpetuate the policy
OF the government as now carried
on. feel that all the aid that
can be given 20 this policy by
every good citizen should be
given for this Is far more than a
merely partisan matter

ED BY THE CONTRACTOR.
Believes That He Will Be Able to
Take the Vessel to Brooklyn.
Court of Inquiry Meets.

Determined efforts are being made for
the salvage of the U.S.S. Yankee which
was purchased during the Spanish war at
a cost Of about $oO0,0OO ana converted into
cruiser. Since she first grounded about
two months ago.. a score of naval vessels
and fully a thousand men have been en-
gagged in raising and towing her TO port,
but SO far without entire success. Mr..
John Arbuckle,- who has CONTRACT to
save the vessel, managed. by the use of
compressed air, to get her afioat about
two weeks ago. While being towed to
port she sank again in deeper water.
Salvage operations were renewed today
by two naval vessels-the Lebanon and
the Pontiac-and nine regular wrecking
vessels furnished by the contractor. The
plant includes air ,compressors. cables.
piping pumps and pontoons, and is much
more powerful than that formerly en-
ployed: Mr.. Arbuckle reports that he has
made a thorough survey OF the ship with
divers since her second sinking. and he
feels certain that he will be able to float
the Yankee and, deliver her. at the New
York navy yard according to his contract.
in which the sum Of approximately $4,000
Is involved.
While these operations are in progress
a naval court of inquiry Is in session at
Boston endeavoring to fix the RESPONSE
bility for the. grounding Of the vessel.

STUBBORN LEGAL FIGHT ENDS.
Supreme Court Decides So-Called
PeonaRe Case in Alabama.

On the technicality that the case had
not been really tried in the courts below
the Supreme Court Of the United States
today decided the so-called peonage case
Of Alonzo Bailey Of Alabama against him.
In money, the case involved a very small
sum, but it has been stubbornly fought
because II called into question statute
of Alabama. which, it was contended ir
Bailey's interest, practically gives au-
thority to imprison for debt. 4
Bailey was placed under arrest on the
order Of a justice Of the peace in Mont
gomery county. Ala, on the charge OF
having obtained SIS under a contract in
writing, and under the law in question
the city court of Montgomery refused to
release him on writ of habeas corpus.
The Alabama supreme court sustained
the verdict on the ground that there had
been evident purpose on Bailey's part
to defraud his, creditor The opinion of
the Supreme Court was handed down by
Justice Holmes, and was based on the
gorund that the case had not b.en tried
on It's merits
Justice Harlan delivered dissenting
opinion, in which he maintained that
Bailey was entitled. on the record. to
bring HIS case to the Supreme Court as
a matter Of right. He declared the de-
cision Of the court TO be without prece-
dent. Justice Day concurred in the dis
SentlnS opinion -
