Washington Feb. Ex-senator Fora
ker replied to the denial by President
Roosevelt of the charge that he has
used federal patronage for the purpose
of influencing the national political
contest. The senator predicated his
argument by reference to the Ohio
situation in the letter of President
Roosevelt to Dudley Foulke, former
civil service commissioner. He pro-
duced correspondence, relating to the
appointment Of Charles H. Bryson,
whose nomination as postmaster at
Athens, Ohio, was withheld temporar-
lily for the alleged reason that Bryson
had given an interview while in Wash.
Taft was losing ground in the Ohio
contest. The correspondence showed
that BrysOn had stood his ground and
his declaration of political independ-
ence had resulted in another order
from the white house making the APP
pointment. The communications on
the subject were between Representa-
tive Douglas of Ohio and Bryson
Senator Foraker commented on the
case. insisting that the records clearly
showed an a tempt to coerce Bryson
and that his fearless stand had been
responsible for his retention by the
president. The senator said it was no
exaggeration to say that there are 100
cases in Ohio where appointments had
been made for political purposes only
but there are few where documentary
evidence can be produced.
Senator Aldrich, chairman of the
committee on finance, opened the de-
bate on his bill to provide an emer-
gency currency. Senator Depew de-
Tended the course of the secretary Of
the treasury in depositing public funds
in New York banks.
A brief but fiery speech by MI
Leake of New Jersey, in which he
outlined his opposition to William J.
Bryan, relieved somewhat the monoi
ony of debate on the Indian appropri
alton bill in the house. He charged
Mr. Bryan with taking the big stick
from the president. leaving the lattel
only big slipper and he further cred
tied the democrats in the house with
having usurped the right of free &C
tion of the delegates to the Denver
convention by nominating Bryan in az
vance. His remarks were greete"
with Kisses from the democratic SID
Considerable progress was made with
the Indian appropriation bill, whicl
was amended so that the commissions
of Indian affairs, before he carrie
out the policy of abandoning non
reservation schools, shall investigatt
the question fully and report to tn,
house at its next session. Anothe
amendment restored the appropria
tons for the Indian schools at For

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY

Washington, Feb. THE session of
the house vas devoted to considera-
ton of the omnibus war bill, which
was passed. 1t carries $4,000. A
ripple of excitement was caused by
Mr., Macon OF Arkansas, who defended
the senate against what he said were
aspersions cast upon the body by Mr..
Payne of New York, when he pre-
dicted that the senate would load the
bill down with unmeritorious claims.
Among the bills and resolutions intro
duced were: To amend the postal
laws SO that town Of 5000 inhabit-
ants with postJfhce receipts exceeding
Sc, 900 can have free delivery; to amend
the laws so that rural free delivery
mail carriers can certify to pension
vouchers in the hands of persons on
their routes; to put soldiers who were
in so called confederate prisons dur
ing the civil war on the pension roll;
to amend the antitrust law so that it
shall not apply to labor unions.
What will be known as the minor
ity currency bill was introduced by
Representative williams of Mississ
ippi, democratic leader, who drew the
measure as the result of conference
of democrats behind closed doors yes
terday. The elastic currency feature
is contained in a section which pro-
vides that inter-convertible bonds may
be deposited Sin the nearest sub-treas-
ury," and in the depositing bank shall
receive "in lieu thereof United States
emergency treasury notes.

ATHLETIC CLUB

Chinese Athletes Declare War
on Man Sang Vat Bo's
Issues.

There is q misunderstanding between
the Chinese Athletic Club and that
breezy and instructive vernacular
journal the Man sang Vat Bo, which
may or may not result in hatchets.
It appears that the trouble grew out
OF little matter of printing which
didn't go TO the Office of the Celestial

for the past week or 50 the athletic
organization has been the recipient Of
several Journalistic bouquets which
have the effect Of making the progress
sive young men of the c. A. c. hot

to be.
One Of the grievances Of the athletic
club. as related to a newspaper man by
a member yesterday. is that the Man
sang Vat 30 published an item 10 the
effect that the club were charging an
entrance fee of 25c. for the events TO
be contested at the field-day on Feb. /.
A correction was sent TO the office
stating that as heretofore there would
be no entrance fee TO take part in the
games and ii came out the next morn
ing that the Chinese Athletic Club
would charge no adnittance TO their
masquerade ball which takes place on
Chinese New Years Eve and tickets
for which are on sale for half a dollar
Not wishing TO make trouble the G

TO BUY FAST
POLO PONIES

Already the polo players Of this city
are getting ready for the summer sea-
son. a great deal OF sport is expect
ed, and the local men have determined
TO retrieve their lost honors, if pos
sible. Though Maui won last year, it
was acknowledged that its victory
was due in great part TO the fact that
it had the better of the ponies. To
make up for this the local men are
trying TO pick up faster and better
mounts to use this year.
One of the finest ponies ever seen
here came down from Kauai on the
Hall last Sunday. It is a. mare named
Princess, and was bred by Charlie Rice
of Kauai. She is broken TO polo and
is said not only to have speed, but
to be a crackerjack at the game Rice
has several other ponies which the
local men are watching with longing
eyes and which some of them may
buy before long.
