Seeing Washington With The Times Guide
No. LV.-OLD NAVAL HOSPITAL

THAT old fashioned
looking building sur
rounded by the high
Iron fencing, ladies and gentle
men, is the old Naval He's
pital. It has been relcgated
to a rear rank as a hospital
BY the new naval hospital,
but il still is in use.
'erhe sick of the navy ana
marine corps are treated IN
the naval hospitals, but only
emergency cases are taken
care Of at this CID institution
1t is especially fitted fer that
purpose because Of its proS--
Unity to the navy yard
IAN other cases are taken
tc the new hospital, at Twen-
ty-third and + streets north
west. This ole hospital can
accommodate hut forty pa
tients, although there is rare
" that number there at one
time.

Sohoolcraft Sherman, because he is
esteemed to represent the influence
which chiefly opposed enactment of
those policies: namely, the House or
ganization- They demand TO know
what concession has been made to the
free thinking West in the Republican
program for this year. They insist
that the platforln and the nominees are
both of Eastern derivation, and want
specifications as to where the West
comes in. Then they point to the
West as the originator of wealth and
the conservator of prosperity, and in
quire why it should be summarily set
down as securely for ticket and plat
form about which it has doubts.
That this analysis pretty correctly
presents the feeling of the trans
Alleghanian country, is well known by
people whose horizon Is not bounded
by the sky-scrapers on the next street.
1t is known by Frank H. Hitchcock, for
instance Mr.. Hitchcock found out
about 1t during the time when he was
managing a preliminary campaign for
Mr.. Taft, and it is most fortunate for
the Republican party that it will have
the full benefit of what Mr. Hitchcock
learned during that fight, Mr.. Hitch
cock has had the chance 10 survey and
define and weigh the elements in this
situation. And what did he do?
He recognized the West as the battle
ground, announced that he would per-
sOnaEy conduct Western headquarters,
and then called a conference OF West,
ern political leaders in Colorado.
Mr. Hitchcock understands.
If the rest of the Republican leaders
come TO understand soon enough, they
will be safe. If they don't, they may
learn their error when too late.

BRIDGE BUILDING.

A historic feat in bridge building is
recalled by II. G. Lehman. of Van
Vert, Ohio, in a letter 10 the Toledo
Blade. In December, 1854, the Union
army, while on its way from Atlanta
70 the sea, found Kings bridge wreck
ed. in the Ogeechee river. near Savan-
nah. a report Of General Howard is
quoted as follows: with regard TO
opening communication with the fleet,
the Engineers Department, under the
direction Of Capt. c. B. Reese. chief
engineer. was instructed TO rebuild
Kings bridge. which was effected by
the morning Of December b. The work
was a most remarkable one. being
completed in about two days time. con-
sidering that there was little left Of
the old bridge excepting the posts This
bridge measured loo feet in length"

WONDERS
IF HE'S NOMINATED
Vice Presidential Candidate
Refuses to Resign Chair
manShip of Committee.

A stickler for form is James School
craft Sherman. nominee for Vice Presi-
dent and chairman of the Republican
Congressional committee.
Having been elected chairman OF the
Congressional committee some time ago,
Mr.. Sherman las not learned. in any
official way, OF any reason why he
should resign that job. He has read in
newspapers a rumOr that he was nomi-
mated for Vice President Of the United
States. But nobody with proper Gre
Centials from the convention in Chicago
has given Mr.. Sherman a defnite and
authoritative assurance that he has
been so nominated.
Doesn't Want Both Jobs.
This Is the reasoning in which tho
upstate New York statesman INDUCES
He doesn't par ucuIarIy care 10 run fo-
Vice Presidcn- and manage the Con-
gressional campaign. at one and he
same tine, but he does insist on know
ing, in n definite and conclusive way,
that he has been nominated Cor Vice
President before he resigns as head OF
the Congressional committee.
Accordingly, while there Is sepious SIS
picion that Mr.. Loudenslager. Of New
Jersey, VIII be made chairman OF the
Congressional committee as soon az Mr.
Sherman ieIres, there is TO official as
surance THAI the latter is going 20 retire
InofnctaNy. however. IL is understood
he VIII get out very soon after Chair
man Hitchcock. OF the national com
mittee, returns from the West.
Big Task On It's Hands.
The Congressional committee is ex-
pected 70 have a great task on its hands
this fall For some reason OF other
the impression prevails that the Demo
Gratis are much more likely TO carry the
House than 10 elect their Presidential
candidate. The House is looked upon
as the greaS danger point for the Re
DubliCans- The new chairman Will NOT
have an enviEble task for every Rep
resentauVe who considers himself in
uncertain position VIII fully expect TO
be given especial attention.

DENIES RECEIVING
CABRERA'S $4,000
Former American Minister at
Guatemala Says He Never
Even Discussed Subject.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, July 22.-Dr. w.
Godfrey Hunter Of Somerset, formerly
American minister to Guatemala under
President Mckinley. has entered an
emphatic denial 20 the reports recently
published that Re had collected $4,000
in gold from President Cabrera. Of
Guatemala. which. it was charged, was
used in the Roosevelt campaign of 1904
The charges were first printed ia the
Deutsche ZeitunE, a German paper pub
lished IN the City of Mexico, over the
signature Of Dr. Herman Prove, and
have been sent broadcast through the
United States II was alleged by Dr.
Prove that the contribution 20 the
Roosevelt campaign fund was made by
President Cabrera TO DR.. Hunter while
the latter was representing this ccun-
try IN the Guatemala capital
Not In Guatemala At Time.
DR.. Hunter said in Louisville that ne
was not in Guatemala during the time
charged by DR.. Prove. but resigned his
position in November, 1902, and returned
10 his home in Kentucky.
The following year he was elected to
Congress from the Eleventh Kentucky
district and was. therefore. at the time
alleged by Dr. Prove. in Washington
lie said that between the date OF his
resignation and the subsequent election
of President Roosevelt two years, re
was not IN Guatemala. did not see
anyone from that country, did not
communicate with anyone on the sub
ject OF a campaign fund for the Re
publican party, and knew absolutely
nothing OF the alleged charges made
by DR. Prove
Never Discussed Campaign Funds.
DR.. Hunter said that 1T no time during
his career as the American represent
alive 10 Guatemala was the subject OF
funds. either for the campaign Of 1904
or any other year, discussed by him
with President Cabrera or any other
official, and he characterized the
charges as false from beginning to
end He said that he had never heard
OF br. Prove and was at a loss to
understand how such infamous charges
containing any reference to him could
have originated In the mind Of anyone
Dr. Hunter said he did not regard
the statement worthy Of denial except
to show TO the public generally that
he was far from the scene Of the al
legged transaction at the time 1t was
said to have taken place and had been
away for almost two years. He said
further that at the time of the election
IN 1904, and fOI some line previous
thereto he had been engaged in can
vassing the Eleventh Kentucky district
