LETTER MAY
 PROVE TO BE
 A GREAT HOAX
Continued From First Page.)

It has not been President Roosevelt's practice to hide behind confidential countersign.
 It would appear that the immediate issue in Connecticut politics was the text of the Roosevelt letter to Lilley.
 The Waterbury American, which has even given up It's news columns to editorials" in support of Lilley, has apparently found 1t Impossible to swallow the letter as meaning that the president wishes LlllcF everr success in his campaign for governor, as may he understood from the following article printed on the first page of that paper yesterday:
 George L. Lllley of this city Is showing his friends a letter wnich he received recently from President Roosevelt, requesting a copy of his now famous speech on the naval bill delivered before congress April IL, l last. The letter closes with an ex- pression from the president wishing Mir. Lllley "every success" Mir. Lil- ley's friends call 1t fine endorse ment of his candidacy for governor.
 The presidents letter to Mir. Lilley Is a personal one, and was not sent through Secretary Loeb. like most of his correspondence Mir Lilley has received the necessary permission to make 1t public. and 1t will be ready for inspection In a few days, That is to say, 1t will be printed along with some other campaign documents that MT Lilley expects to send out.
 "Yes, 1t Is true that I have receiv. ed letter from the president" MT Llley said In 1t he requests copy of my speech on the naval bill, and also wishes me success"
 "Isn't 1t rather strang, Mir. Lllley.' qucrled the reporter "that the presf. dent should write you for copy of your speech when he can get it from the files of the Congressional Rec ordo"
 Why, don't know" Mir. Lilley answered, T hadn't thought of that But if there Is doubt in anybody's mind, why, l should like to remove that doubt by showing you the let. ter"
 Mir. Lilley produced the letter sign. ed by the president himself and the words "I wish you every success" were seen by the reporters. The rest oi the correspondence Mir Lilley did no wish to make known.
 50 you see, continued the candi date, that the letter Is signed by thu president He requests me to forward him copy of my speech Just why the president wants me to give him z copy of the speech when he can se cure one in Washington, am unable to explain Perhaps he thought hat 1t in such form that could furnish it to him much quicker than 1t coult he compiled In Washington,

DELICACIES FOR SOLDIERS
Philippine Department Wants More
 Lemons and other Fruit

Washington, oct l3.-The action of congress in increasing the pay of the army will promote contentment among officers and men and add to the arnlys efficiency, according to the annual re- ports of generals commanding various departments of the service
 The report says the trials among Philippine scouts are less in propor. tnon than among American soldiers, a not surprising fact, 1t declares, consid ering the differences fin racial charae- terstics and conditions
 General Miles recommends more liberal policy in supplying troops in the Philippines with apples, American oranges, lemons and grape fruit and with sugar cured meats.
