and Did Not Get Room
Promised Him.
Senator McCumber at Bottom
of the Trouble It Is
Alleged.

Washington, June 1.-The old en-
nifty between Senator McCumber and
Former Senator Hansbrough has come
to the surface again, in the circum-
stances surrounding Mr.. Hansbrough's
resignation from the lucrative position
to which he was appointed when his
term as senator expired. Hansbrough
made the following statement today:
The senators who arranged that l
should have the place, fixed the salary
at $500 per annum. A few weeks
later was sent for by two senators
and informed that my former colleague,
Senator McCumber, was displeased be-
cause I recently publicly criticized his
course in relation to the subject of
federal grain inspection, or something
of that sort, and that could relieve
them from embarrassment, he being
associated with them on the committee
on finance, by refraining from discuss
ing him.
81 replied, saving that certainly did
not want to be the cause of embarrass-
ment to them, and would not there
after, but called their attention to the
fact that was under no obligation to
McCumber for the place. l was then
told that my salary would be at the
rate of $1,000 year, and that would
have room assigned to me in the new
Office building and be allowed the SER
vices of clerk and stenographer.
'Two or three weeks went by, but l
was unable to get the room, that is to
say, no room was assigned to me.
About this time learned from another
source that my employment was to ter.
inmate with the extra tariff session and
a few days later l sent in my resig.
nation to the chairman of the appro.
priations committee.
SIN doing 80 stated that the work
in which was engaged could not be
properly finished in less than couple Of
years, that my services would be in.
effective If limited to a few months,
and that did not see under the cir.
cumstances that even at the reduced
salary could make adequate return tc
the government. Besides, Iadded that
I wished to save my friends in the sen.
ate from annoyance on my account in
regard to the matter. These are the
facts of the case.''

meet. At Lausanne we began to
shake off the dusty, musty, worm
eaten, time-worn condition Of the
Latin countries and customs and felt
once more the influence of the sound,
clean, energetic, robust people of the
north.-
Lausanne is the center of science and
learning in Switzerland and their mag
nifcent university does them great
credit. I wish you could have walked
with me through the narrow streets,
brushed against these wholesome people
and studied their strange costumes,
strange houses and homes and vehicles,
gazed with me in their shop windows
loaded with the products of their
homes, fields, farms and factories;
windows filled with golden butter,
cheeses in endless shapes, colors, sizes
and varieties; windows and shops
filled with meats fresh and cured, raw
and cooked of every kind; windows
with products Of the housewife and
bakers art all so clean, fresh. appetiz-
ing and wholesome that it makes one's
mouth water, and generally the shops
were presided over by rosy checked
girls spotlessly clean adding not little
to the attractions.
Too much has not been said-too
much cannot be said-in praise and
glorification of the mountains and
lakes, the sunshine and the air of
Switzerland. They are beyond descrip-
tion, their influence beyond explanation.
Whether it was the blue waters Of
Lake Geneva, the green flower be-
decked, snow capped mountains, the
clear intoxicating mountain air, the
wholesome cleanliness and decency Of
the place and people, the good things
to eat, or the pretty girls, Or q combin.
alton of these, do not know, but we
wanted to stay at Lausanne and we are
some time going back there.
Eight o'clock the next morning found
us whirling at a mad pace toward Paris,
driving down the mountain slopes Of
Switzerland to the level, rich and lux.
uriant valley Of the Seine river in
France. Also from the clear fresh
mountain air of Switzerland to the
dust and germ laden air of an over
crowded city, from the wholesome
clean hearted, robust, honest countr,
folks to the selfish, money grabbing
cold hearted people of one of the wors
of wicked cities.

GAME ENDED BAD.
All Right Until the Ninth Inning Then
Fullerton Got Busy.

The Fullerton Giants and the Oakes
Cubs met in fierce but friendly con-
test at the local ball park Sunday after
noon. The game was exciting at all
stages because of the extreme uncer-
tainty as to what would happen next.
The Giants took the lead in the early
innings but the emulators of Frank
Chance and Johnnie Evers were not to
be denied and gradually forged to the
front until at the beginning of the
ninth inning Oakes had the game done
up in an elegant package resembling
wedding present with pink ribbon and
a card on it conveying Fullerton's COM
pliments. Score 6 to II for Oakes. It
seemed to be a striking likeness of q
cinch and Connell in his glee capered
around the initial sack like a Fiji Is
lander doing the barn dance. Alas!
for the uncertainty of human fate.
Somebody switched the card on the
package and during the eventful ninth
inning, the Cubs punched their errors
and the Giants their accidents, net re-
suits at the close Of the game: Fuller
ton 16, Oakes IL. It was lots Of fun
anyway and the big crowd got their
moneys worth and rooted impartially
for both sides. OF course there were
plenty of fellows on the bleachers who
couldn't t stop . prize pumpkin rolling up
hill, who were sure they could have
played any of the positions without q
slip. The players on both teams are
home boys who have little time for
practice and showed streaks of good
playing and then there were other
streaks. Those implicated were: Full
