Dear Bonaparte-I want to congratu.
late you on the admirable stand YOU
have taken in this matter. If the cleo.
trio interests are not joined in an illegal
combination-if there is not a conspir-
acy between the General Electric and
the Westinghouse people, which has en-
listed strong moral support of the tclc.
phone and telegraph interests and the
street railway interests-why need there
be alarm over a private investigation?
f--c comes to you again I shall
be really delighted to have you tell him
straight from me, that the investigation
will be pressed with the utmost energy
to a conclusion, and that this will be
done whether his clients contribute a
million for the election of Taft or a
million for the election of Bryan. or
whether they fail to contribute a cent
to either side.
l would really like you to give him
just this message from me-, and put it
on writing if you desire. Yours ad-
miringly,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

JUDGE HYDR|cK ELECTED.
ASSOCIATE JUSTICE DEADLOCK
BROKEN ON 39TH BALLOT.
Name of Ex-GOv. Sheppard With
drawn After the First Ballot Last
Night and Judge Hydrick is Elected
On the Next Ballot.

Columbia, Feb. lion the thirty
ninth ballot tonight, Circuit Judge
Daniel E. Hydrick of Spartanburg,
was elected to the Supreme Court
bench to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the promotion of Mr.. Ira b. Jones
to Chief Justice. 1t has been a long
and most interesting contest, but at
no time had there been bitterness or
i'll feeling, and Judge Hydricks cleo
ton could have been made unanimous
but for the rule prohibiting changes
in the ballot.
After the first ballot tonight, Mr..
Weston, of Columbia, withdrew the
name of Mr.. John c. Sheppard, and
on the part of Governor Sheppard
thanked the members for their loyal
ty, eulogized Mr.. Sheppard for his
loyalty and patriotism as true South
Carolinian, and as such he wished to
withdraw his name from the contest.
On the previous ballot, Mr.. Hydrick
had received 75 votes, 81 being neces-
| sary to elect. With the withdrawal
of the name of Governor Sheppard it
was no longer a question as to the re-
suit, as the members were anxious to
close the elections and proceed with
other business. On the final ballot 100
votes were cast. Eighty-one were
necessary to elect, and Of these Mr..
Hydrick received 103 and Mr., T. p.
Cothran received 81 votes, practically
the same vote that he had all during
the contest.
Upon the announcement of the vote,
Judge Hydrick was declared elected to

VACCINATION FOR TYPHOID.

Instructions have been sent by the
War Department to all army posts in
regard to the antityphoid vaccina-
tion in the military service, and a call
for volunteers to submit to the vacci-
nation has been issued
Among the first volunteers, \ it is
understood, will be the medical Off
GERS and the members Of the Army
Medical Corps. 1t is expected that the
enlisted men will, in the majority of
cases, be willing to submit to the vac
cination after it has been demonstrate
ed on their officers. The vaccination
does not cause any inconvenience ex-
cept for the first few hours.
This method of preventing typhoid
fever was adopted after it had been
recommended by commission of
we'll known American medical au-
thorities and was brought about by
the experience of foreign armies, es-
pecially the British army, in the sue
cessful use Of the method. The army
board that investigated the method
included DR.. w. S. Thayer, Of Ealti-

for your letter of the Goth ult., and
am glad to hear from you that your
daughter denied the story that l
struck her horse. Of course 1 never
struck her horse or any other ladys
horse. The whole story was so absurd as
not to be worth dsAying. Numerous
stories of this kind are started from
time to time by foolish or malicious
people. Occasionally I am obliged to
deny them, but as a rule find it best
simply to- ignore them. because deny
ing them calls attention to them and
caves chance to mischief-makers to
mislead well-meaning people by
further repititions of the stories.
