FORAKER WHACkS PRESIDENT.

Washington, Jan. PA spirited
speech by Senator Foraker on the use
of private detectives in investigating
the Brownsville affair was the feature
of interest in the Senate today. Mr.
Foraker laid aside his manuscript sew
eral times during his address to inject
remarks that were pOlntedly aimed at
the President, although he rcfrained
from the mention of Mr.. Roosevelts
name. Evidently referring to the
President, he declared that men who
make charges and insinuations will
some time be where they can be call,
ed to account"
Mr.. Lodge replied to Mr.. Foraker's
remarks, declaring that the use Of the
$7,000000 fund appropriated in 1899 as
an emergency war fund for the PreSi
dent during the Spanish war in the
employment of detectives on the
Brownsville case was not in violation
of law. Mr. Foraker endeaVOred I'M
availingly to have a day fixed for vot-
ling on his bill for the enlistment of the
dicharged soldiers.
Without debate and without refer
cnce 10 committee, the Senate passed
a resolution presented by senator FOR
alkcr calling on the secretary Of the
treasury for an itemiZed statement of
the expenditures Of the S., ,oGh hppro-
priated by the act Of March 3. 1898 to
be expended III thc direction Of the,
President as ar emergency ftnd. This
is ting Iinll out OF which Detectives
BroWN ard Baldwin wee p1id FOR their
services ia investigating the HroWns-
Vito affair. and for which expenditure
Mr.. Foraker today sharply criticized

In my conversation with the at

interest in the matter had been first

Holds Up Confirmation Of Presiden.
tial Appointment. n

Washington, Jan. 12.--Senatorial
courtesy was responsible for the hold
ing up of the nomination of William
Phillips Of Massachusetts to be third
assistant secretary of state for nearly
a month. In view of the fact that Mr..
Knox is soon to leave the Senate to
become secretary of state. his col
leagues considered that it would be
the polite thing to refrain from con-
firming Phillips until they had learned
whether lis appointment would be
satisfactory to the new secretary of
state Mr. Knox was in his seat yea
terday and when the nomination was
reached on the executive session cal
endar, he at once gave his approval.
and Phillips WAS confirmed. His
qualifications had been discussed by
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Knox at the recent
conference at Augusta.
Mr.. Phillips has been chief Of the
division of Far Eastern affairs in the
department of state and is named to
succeed Huntington Wilson, who was
appointed minister to the Argentine

Saved Her Brother.

Anna Liberty saved her brother from
drowning Wednesday afternoon by rare
presence of mind and by quick work
Henri is the 10-year-old son of Theodore
Liberty and the family live just across
the bridge on the St. Johnsbury Center
road opposite the Bluffs. The little
fellow had been out wading and getting
beyond his depth sunk twice before his
predicament was noticed. Then some
one called his sisters attention to his
case and she rushed down the river bank,
siezed garden rake and wading out in
the water to her arm pits dragged the
little fellow to shore. 1t was a close call
as the teeth of the rake caught in his
suspenders and in that way he was
rescued. A doctor was quickly sum-
moned, but he could not resuscitate him
at the house. He then took him to
Brightlook Hospital in his automobile
and there the little fellow was restored
to his normal condition.

suffered broken arm and was very ser
iously shaken up, and Mr.. Salina receiv-
ed severe scalp wound. They were
both taken to Brighlook Hospital, but it
is expected that Mr.. Salina will be out
again in few days. There are various
rumors as to the cause OF the accident,
as an automobile was coming mp Sum-
mer street at the time. This was being
driven by Robert French, who waited at
the head of Summer street to allow
double team to come up the hill, before
starting down. AS soon as the team
had passed, knowing Mr.. Salinas horse
not to be afraid of automobiles, he drove
on to the top of the hill, when the horse
began to back and backed directly in
front of the automobile. Mr.. French
ran his machine into the ditch, and ap-
piled the emergency brake. No blame
whatever is attached to him as the
cause of the accident, and he certainly
made the best of very bad situation.
As the accident happened just before
church time people on their way to
church lent their aid to the injured
couple, and it is hoped they may recover
soon with no serious results.

A Successful Children'S Day.

One of the most delightful meetings
ever held by the St. Johnsbury Woman's
Club was that arranged by the home
economies committee for the August
meeting, Monday afternoon. 1t was
children's day and about 135 children
were present to enjoy the entertainment
provided for them. The brief business
meeting was presided over by the first
vice president, Mrs. c. A. Stanley, in the
absence of the president, Mrs. Robert
Mackinnon. Miss Margaret Robie acted
as secretary in the absence of Miss Mary
E. lde. The secretary's reports of pre-
vious meetings were postponed until the
September meeting, and it was announc-
ed that at the last executive board meet
ing $25 was appropriated for federated
scholarship in Vermont Normal school.
1t was voted to ratify the action of the
board in this matter. Three new men,
bers joined the club at this meeting: Mrs.
F. S. Tolman, Mrs. Horace A. Kidder
and Mrs. E. E. Gage.
Following this business the program
was in the hands of the home econo-
mics committee, of which Mrs. Emile
l.. Eastman is chairman. With few
remarks with reference to children she
introduced Mrs. John B. Chase of Lyn-
donville, who held the attention equally
of the children and the ladies who were
present. while she told stories in most
delightful manner Mrs. Chase has been
very successful in conducting the child
ren's hours under the supervision of the
Lyndon Union Club at the Library in
Lyndonville, the past year, and she has
the happy faculty of telling the stories in
simple way that children so much en-
joy. Following this were dancing and
games, those assisting in this part of the
entertainment being Miss Helen l.. East
man, Mrs. Anna S. Cross, Mrs. Mabel B.
French and Mrs. Nellie H. Ross. Punch
and waters were served from tables pre-

and Mrs. Clara Carleton. They were
assisted in serving by Misses Isabel F.
Noyes. Jean L. Stanley, Pauline Randall,
Madeline Randall, label Gaskell, Hor.
tense Peters, Helen Gray, Dorothy P.
Fairbanks and Mary R. Ely. The tables
were ornamented with sweet peas and
nasturtiums, and the rooms were pret-
tily decorated with poppies, nasturtiums
and sweet peas. Each child was pre-
sented with favor, and all greatly en-
joyed their day at the Club. Music was
furnished during the afternoon by
Madam Brooks Orchestra of three
pieces
The new year books were distributed
at this meeting and the reports show
that at the close of the club year, May /,
1909, the membership was 223. The
programs for the year appear very at
tractive as arranged by the various
