CORTELYOU REPLIES
TO SENATE QUERY

Washington, Jan. 29.-In one of
the most comprehensive reports ever
presented to the senate by the treas
ury department Secretary Cortelyou
today responded to the senate reso-
luton of inquiry in a fifte cen thou
sand word statement justifying the
radical methods he employed in
meeting the recent financial panic.
I'm a review of the financial sit
uation since last spring when he first
started to meet the perceptible
shrinkage in currency by public de-
posits, the secretary claims for his
administration full credit for pre-
venting a disastrous panic.
He says 1t was with deliberate in
tent" that the offer Of bond was
made more attractive than certif-
Gates, the purpose being to avoid
having money withdrawn from
banks and to increase bank circula-
ton. He defends his course in al
lotting bonds to national banks on
the grounds of proper reservation
made in his circular soliciting pro-
pCsals.
II meets the charges of favorite-
ism in the distribution of bonds by
producing records to show that the
bonds went to forty states and the
certificates to eighteen states.
The report concludes as follows:
In every measure taken the secre-
tary felt that he was bound to have
regard not simply to the operation
of the treasury department, but to
their effect upon the financial condi-
tions of the country. The present
head OF the department has not as.
sumed this obligation willingly and
would be glad to be relieved of it.

ton"

CARNATION DAY.

patriotic American citizen. 1t marks
the anniversary of the birthday OF
William Mckinley. 1t is known

day That the death of the martyred
president was keenly felt by the
American people is a matter of fact;
yet il is equally true that the day
which for some years after his death
was generally observed by the wear

somewhat into disuse It is to be
hoped that the beautiful custom so
appropriately inaugurated and car
ried out will this year De as general
ly observed as it ever was.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In view of the undesirable notoriety given me
last Saturday morning by the newspapers or thls
city in connection with the incident at the savoy
Theatre. I think IL is only fair that you puolsh
this letter. which will certainly put me in more
favorable light before your readers
While considered the presentation OF soclahsnl
in ''The Battle grossly untrue and unfair yet
would have hardly felt called upon to rise in my
seat and make plea TO be allowed to enter my
protest had not Mr.. Wilton Lackaye in his speech
before the curtain practically invited such protes-
tation. 1t quite enough for me as SOCIALIST
to be forced to hear Mr.. Lackaye. without oppor-
tunty of reply IN his part of Haggleton give forth
his economic falacies but when he came out OF his
stage character and spoke in his own behalf as an
American citizen upon the politics of the day feit
that l. American citizen myself, was In per-
feet order TO ask for chance to reply. Free
speech should not be considered quite dead in
this country. An actor playing part may plead
the courtesies of the stage but when he drops his
mask he must be prepared to stand his ground.
THE Battle is play pretending to show the in
adequacy of socialism to remedy poverty, and yet
rot one Of the characters supposed TO be repre-
sentative socialists is guilty of expressing a
shred Of socialist economics
