New York, Dec. S.-The New YORK
World, to which Delevan smith, edit
or of the indianapolis News, referred
in his reply to President Roosevelt's
attack on him as the authority FOR an
article on the Panama canal. which
appeared in his paper and called
forth letter from the president,
says today
I'm view of President Roosevelts
deliberate Measurements of fact IN
his scandalous personal attack on De-
levan Smith, editor of the lndianap-
oils News. the World calls upon the
Congress of the United states TO
make full and impartial investiga-
tion of the Panama canal scandal
The Investigation in 1906 by the Sem
ate committee on inter-oceanic canals
was blocked by the refusal Of Will
liam Nelson Cromwell to answer per-
tinent questions of senator Morgan.
Since that time nothing has been
done to carry on the great work OF
revealing the truth of Panama COR
ruption.
THE indianapolis News says in Its
editorial page. for which Roosevelt
assails Smith. that it has been
charged that the United states
bought from American citizens for
sac. 100000 property that cost those
citizens only $l2.0O0,0OO. There Is
no doubt that the government paid
SAC, 600, 900. But who sot the money
asks the editorial.
"Roosevelt's reply to this most
proper question Is, for the most part
a string of abusive and dcfamatory
epithets. But he also makes the
statement that the United States did
not pay a cent to the American citi-
zens; that the $4,000 600 was paid
directly to the French government
and that lac had no knowledge OF Il
syndicate i'm the United states.
ITO the best of the Worlds knowl-
edge and belief all these statements
are untrue and Roosevelt must have
known they were untrue when he
made them"
The World gives long details Ia
prove the truth of its position.

D osITIoNS as rural carriers are not
j supposed TO be attractive to wom-
en-, and the postofiice department does
not encourage their employment as
such. but an increasing number are in
vading the rural delivery field. Some
are regular carriers.
Assistant Postmaster General De
Graw is authority for the statement
that when women obtain places as
rural carriers they invariably accept
cheerfully the hardships that accom-
pany the work in bad conditions OF
road and weather.
An example OF this enthusiasm is
shown in a report received at the de-
partment Of the case OF Miss Lenna
Sennot. who is the substitute carrier
