GRAFT CHARGES LAID
AT ROOSEYELT'S DOOR
PRESIDENTS BARBERON NAVY
YARD PAY ROLL.
His Wife's Messenger Paid as an
EnTaver" "-Committeemen Re-
gret Failure to Learn of
Charges.

A special from Washington to the
Columbia State says:
President Roosevelt's taking Sen
ator Tillman to task for abuse of the
franking privilege and the general
row between the president and con-
gress over secret service investiga-
tions of congressman has led to the
rather startling revelation that the
presidents barber is on the rolls of
the government as an accountant
in the navy department, and that
while not accounting anything he is
getting a salary from the government
of 81 800 year for shaving the pres
ident and occasionally cutting the
presidential hair.
It has also developed that Mrs.
Roosevelt IS messenger is on the pay
rolls of the bureau Of printing and
engraving, and that he draws now
1920 year. The only sthing he en-
graves is an occasional footprint on
the sands of time. Both the account
barber and the engraver-messenger
went to Oyster Bay last summer with
the Roosevelt family.
These revelations have caused a
considerable stir here today. The
members Of the house appropriations
committee who replied last week to
the presidents charges against them
express regret that they did not
know Of the president s misuse Of the
civil service when they spoke, and it
is practically certain that Senator
Tillman would have mentioned them
in his speech if he had had the facts.
Notice will be taken yet of the sem
sational revelations.
Spanking the president is still the
order Of the day.

WRECK IN COLORADO.
Twenty Persons Killed and Thirty
Injured-Passenger Collides
With Freight.

Glenwood Springs, Colo, Jan. 16.-
Twenty persons were killed and
thirty injured, many Of them serious
ly, in a headon collision between
west-bound passenger train No. 5 and
an east-bound freight train on the
Denver and Rio Grande railroad, be-
tween Dotsero and Spruce Greek,
twenty-five miles from Glenwood
Springs, at 9.36 O'Clock last night.
While nothing official has been Civ
en- out as to the cause of the wreck,
it is stated to have been due to mis-
understanding of orders on the part
Of the engineer, Gustaf Olson, Of the
passenger train. Olson, however,
claims THAT he understood his in
structions perfectly, but that he mis-
read his watch, thus encroaching on
the time Of thr freight train, which
was being drawn by two locomotives.
the first Of which was in charge of
his brother, Sig Olson.

WATER POWER TRUST.
President Roosevelt Declares There
is a Growing Monopoly Of Ma
tural Forces.

Washington, Jan. 15.-President
Roosevelt sent a special message to
the house today with his veto of the
bill providing for the construction of
a dam across the James river, in
Stone county, Missouri, the purpose
Of the dam being to get water to
create electric power. He declared
that the movement to secure control
Of the water power of.the country IS
still in its infancy but that "unless
controlled the history Of the oil in
dustry will be repeated in the hydro
electric power industry, with results
far more oppressive and disastrous
for the people,
~ consider myself bound," he
continued, ''as far as exercise of my
executive power will allow, to do for
the people, in prevention of monopoly
of their resources, what I believe
they would do for themselves if they
were in a position to act.'
The message was presented at the
close of the day and was received IN
differently. After its reading it was
referred to the committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce.
