The Times is in receipt Of the fol-
lowing letter;
Editor Washington Times:
Apropos of the many recent lead
ing editorials" which appeared in your
esteemed paper, The Evening Times,
in reference to the great and all
pervading tariff issue, I you'd like TO
call attention to the fact that The
Times has shown itself to be grossly
inconsistent in its deliverances - IN
tariff. as in the last Presidential-COn-
gressional campaign your organ was
most pronounced in its advocacy of
the election OF the entire Republican
ticket, telling the people Of the great
danger to the country in the event of
Democratic success. Your paper is
inconsistent in that Ii IS now taking
TO task the party IN power, or rather,
the Republican Congress- for the out
rageous ana Ubiquitous tariff measure
that body, by the grace OF Mr.. Aid
rich, has recently handed out 20 the
country with possibility that that
measure IN its present form viii be-
come law. And, then, what is suf-
feTing, outraged people TO dot Simply
bow to the VIII of the Republican
party for, as Portia declaims IN THE
Merchant Of Venice, the law doth
give FL. the court doth allow H." The
Times must surely have known, be-
fore and during the last campaign,
as il does now, that the Republican
party almost from It's lAGtDAADus mas
been committed to high protective
tariff, and II Is amusing now TO see
that paper berauug this same Re
publican Congress for their action Of
only a few days ago. And IL closing
I would like TO add that, IN my hum
Bile opinion. Mr.. Tafts only salvation
lies IN his vetOiug the bill when II
uuaIly reaches him for consideration,
and L firmly believe that he fully re-
allies this, and that he is sagaclOus
enough 10 grasp the golden oppor-
tunity. The outcome viii be watched
with interest. S NJ. MEEK.

The Times cannot admit that it is in
consistent with its attitude Of last
autumn. It believed then that the
Republican party was honest in its
declaration for effective downward re-
vision. Having found that powerful
elements in the party were dishonest,
and willing TO repudiate that pledge,
The Times has persistently denounced
those who stood for reputation, just
as it has tried to give dre credit to
those whether Republicans or Demo
Gratis, who were working for fulfllment
Of the pledge. The Times wanted a
revision in the consumers interest, and
In its humble way has contributed
whatever Of influence it has possessed,
to hold up the hands Of the men who

committed TO the Ways and Means
Committee it was pretty generally un-
derstood that Speaker Cannon, Chair
man Payne. and their followers were so
close to defeat that their position was
exceedingly uncomfortable. 1t did not
! become known until today, however,
that until the last vote had been re-
corded on the final passge of the bill
| me House hangers were in gloom and
douoI. president Taft is the man who
I saved them from defeat and he did Ii
when hop for success had been aban-
doned
Immediately after the conference re-
port mad been agreed to. Representa-
i've Dwight, of New York, Republican

ascertain Just where every Republican
/ stood. With the ones who were doubt.
Lul ne labOTed~ long and hard, and. by
amt OF hard work, swung many of them
/ into line.
Az midnight on Friday, after he had
seen every member OF tie majority. Mr..
/ Dwight went to Speaker Cannon with a
. carefully prepared list of the members
ana the way they would vote The list
showed that forty Republicans would
vote against the bill Not one Of them
could be induced to change his position,
Dwight reported
There is only one thing for US to do. -
the Speaker said. We'll have to 60 10
INC PRESIDENT with this list and If he
wants the conference veport adopted
he will have to get those forty votes
into line"
Mr. Dwight went to tie White House
early Saturday morning with his list of
Insurgents. shortly after his departure
every one OF the forty received a mes
sage stating that the President would
IKE TO see him. Mr.. Taft spent the
better part Of the day urging upon the
insurgents the necessity Of voting for
the bill.
The vote taken a few, hours later
showed that the Presidents arguments
prevailed with just half VI the RepCb-
means who were opposed.

Denials by May Burns.

In rebuttal, May Burns was called
and testified that she did not get a
letter from McNulty and that she did
not tell anyone that she did. She was
never at the Jennie Whipple house.
She denied telling Addie that she had
been in a Schenectady house and Ad-
die had told her that if her folks made
any trouble she would send her to
some hill the name of which she could
not remember She said she never
smoked cigarettes and denied having
money when she went to the house
and had none or her own clothes when
she left.
DR.. Ganey upca being recalled denied
making the statements which Whey
attributed to him about the girl and
her size.
The girls mother was recalled and
testified her daughter is about four
inches taller and weighs about twenty
pounds more than she did two years
ago. She outgrew her clothing and it
was given to her younger sister.

CHIEF WlLkIE OF SECRET
SERVICE ON WITNESS STAND.
Gives Information Concerning Con-
duct of HIS Office.

Washington, Jan. 27.-What is de-
scribed as one Of the most thrilling
hearings Of this session took place to-
day in the rooms of the house COM
mittee on appropriations when the
subcommittee in charge of the draft
ing of the sundry civil appropriation
bill had Chief Wilkie of the secret
service on the witness stand to fur
nish information concerning the con-
duct of his office. He was freely ques-
toned by the members whose names
have figured in the secret service con-
troversy with the president.
Mr.. Wilkie objected to the limita-
ton OF his service to counterfeit
ctases, but il is believed that the sub
committee will recommend a feature
iE the forthcoming bill similar to the
one of last year.
For more than three hours Mr.. Will
kie was piled with questions in regard
to the secret service.
The significant fast was brought out
at the hearing that although the lin
itation placed upon the expenditure of
the money for secret service last year
in the appropriation bill reduced the
number of men employed by the Sc
cret service under Chief Wilkie by
nine, those same nine men were placed
on the rolls of the department OF
justice. The secret service in the de-
partment of justice was described as
consisting of 20 men besides the nine
dropped by the treasury department
secret service.
Chief Wilkie said that counterfeit
ing increased rapidly during the re-
cent financial stringency and that
there was much need of an increase
to $135,000 Of last years appropria-
ton of S115,000.

George Colt Ripley.

Many Of the old friends in Connect
lieut. who knew and loved George c.
Ripley are gone, but some remain. He
was a Yale classmate of Judge Har-.
rison B. Freeman and William L. Mat
son Of this city, the Rev. Cornelius L.
Kichel and John Wesley Alling of New
Haven, and other good men who were
lads together under the elms in 1852
His name recalls bygone days in Nor
witch, and vanished faces; to think of
him is to think Of Bromley and Camp
bell and Stiles Stanton. The Norwich
of those days did not have for him
the opportunities to which he knew
himself equal and entitled. He went
west, as so many capable Connecticut
men have done. and the city in which
he made his home has had in these
later days no more respected and be-
loved citizens. He had a fine and well
stored mind; his talk was delightful;
his personal charm was irresistible.
He died in his Minneapolis home day
before yesterday, not quite 70 years
old and none of his friends will ever
forget him-Hartf0rd Courant.
