CONTRADICTS The PRESIDENT
Mr.. Cook Again Makes Caustic Re-
marks About Chief Executive.
Declares Statements About Colorado
boundary Bill Are Incorrect
and Reads Letters.

Representative Cook. Of Colorado. took
another whack al President Roosevelt In
the House yesterday. charging him with
misrepresentation.
lie read from q statement given out At
the White House regarding his speech
OF Thursday, in which il was said that
his grievance was probably due TO the
failure OF his bill 10 rectify the boundary
between Colorado and Oklahoma and New
Mexico. which the President vetoed
II was said In the statement thar II was
pointed out 70 Mr.. Cook that the Consti-
tuition required previous action by the
legislature OF Colorado.
Il positively deny Mr- Cook said. that
President Roosevelt ever made that state
ment to me" The Presidents statement
in his veto message that the proposed
change OF boundary would cause the
transfer OF four or hve pogt-ofhces from
Colorado 70 New Mexico. Mr.. Cook said,
was also incorrect He read a letter from
Postmaster General Meyer. telling him
that but one Office was so changed.
Mr. Cook said that the only objector 20
the proposed boundary change was the
Colorado Lead and Iron Company. owned
by the Standard OIL Company. This Com-
pany desired no change because Il wanted
10 continue 10 escape taxation on It's coal
mines located IN the disputed territory.
Mr.. Cook observed that the President did
not seem TO be anxious 20 disturb the oil
trust
AS to the Presidents side remark that
Mr.. Cook was not renominated for Con-
gress, Mr.. Cook explained that he bad al
no time been a candidate.

FIGHT FOR COMMIlIEEPL PLACES
Believed Burton Harrison Viii Get
Ways and Means Assignment.
Representative Macon, Of Arkansas
Likely to Succeed Brundidge
on Appropriations.

Unusual interest has centeTed around
the contest for the two Democratic seats
on the WAYS and Means Committee that
viii be vacant az the beginning OF the
sixty-frst Congress, because Of the death
OF Representative Granger. OF Rhode Isl
and, and the retirement Of Representa-
tive Bourke Cochran. OF New York
The New York delegation is laying
claims 70 the place TO be made vacant by
Mr. Cockran's retirement. and .-alcss all
signs fail Representative Burton Harri-
son or Representative Sulzer viii draw
the assignment. Mr Harrison seems to
be the farorite at present.
Probably no member OF the House Is
better informed on the tariff question
than Mr.. Harrison. and he IS also on
especially intimate terms with Speaker
Cannon and with Champ Clark, the leader
Of the minority Mr.. Harrison is one OF
the most regular attendants at the ses-
sions CT the House. and during the pres
ent session has been unusually active in
many questions Of importance
Mr.. Sulzer's friends are laying claims
10 the place. because he IS the dean OF
the New York delegation. and some Of
them believe he viii get the assignment
Another interesting announcement is
that Representative Robert Bruce Macon.
OF Arkansas. may succeed Representative
Brundidge on the Appropriations Com
rnittee. Mr.. Macon Is one Of the livei!-
est Democrats on the floor, and is known
among his colleagues as the Minority
Watchdog of the Treasury occunvfn1 q
very much the same position on the
Democratic side as does Representative
Mann Tor the Republicans Mr. Macon
has been especially active during the last
session OF Congress, and has kept a
similar watch on the expenditures as did
Buck Kilgore, Of Texas, and Repre-
sentative Holman, Of Indiana
Mr. BrUEdidge. who has been one Of
the active members OF the Appropriations
Committee during this session has re-
tired from Congress, and will make the
race against Senator JEFF Davis, OF
Arkansas, when bis term expires.
