PARE NAY GET 500 .OQe
But He Still Wants To Hold His So.
500 Job.

Washington, June 17.-Richard
Parr, Assistant Collector of Customs
at the Port of New York. came TO
Washington today at the invitation
OF Secretary of the Treasury Mac
Neagh to discuss the reward which
Parr claims for having unearthed the
sugar importation frauds in New
York which resulted in the recovery
by the Government Of over $1,000
600.
Parr went over the whole situation
with Mr. MacVeaugh, whom he found
very sympathetic An opinion writ
ten by the Attorney-G General held that
Secretary MacVeagh had authority to
fix the amount of reward, and he
said this would be given careful con-
sideration.
In the Treasury Department it is
understood that the reward will be
between 100000 and $15O,OOO. Mr..
Parr assured Mr.. MacVeagh TODAY
that no matter how large an amount
that award may be he wishes to con-
tinue in the customs service. In this
service he first got his start, which
led to the disclosure of the sugar
frauds and he feels that if he is of
service to the Government, he should
not desert because he has received
large reward. Mr.. MacVeagh is i'm
pressed with the necessity of retain
ing such men as Parr, there being an
parently few such in the service
PARIS salary is $4,000 a year.
Treasury officials express the ooin-
ion that if the alleged sugar draw
back frauds at New York amount TO
anything of consequence thcy may
reach as high as $1.OOO.OOO. The al
legged frauds grow out of the pay
ment of drawback on syrups partly
the product of free sugar.

THE PARTY'S OPpORTUNITYg|
DEMOCRACY MUST RISE TO THE
OCCASION.
The Thine for House. cleaning Has
Arrived, Says Folk, of Missouri, and
The Party Must Show That 1t
Stands For the People.

Atlanta, Ga, June 19.-"This is
day not only for house cleaning 8

litical parties as we'll declared - r
Governor Jos. w. Folk of dri,
in an address here todav e the
Young Mems Democratic /. ,ue. Mr..
Folk predicted Democratic gains in
the approaching congressional cleo
tions but said the party must make a
clean cut fight against privileges to
classes.
"The great issue before the peo-
pie" he said, sis shall it be a govern
ment by privileges for a class. or by
the people for all? This is a ques-
ton within parties as we'll as between
parties. If the Democratic party is
not dominated by privileges the peo-
pie should know it. If the Republi-
can party is dominated by these
forces, the people should know it. A
time for a showdown by both poll
tical parties has come.
"The Democratic party should
make a celan cut fight against the
system Of privilege which includes a.
tariff for any other purpose than that
of revenue. A tariff for revenue only
is for the benefit of the whole people,
while tariff for any other purpose is
for the benefit Of that class at the ex-
pense of the public.
Democracy is growing everywhere.
Whether the Democratic party grows
with it deepnds upon whether the
party is really Democratic. It car not
be democratic by representing a class
or trucking to special interests. The
party must convince the people not
about what it proposes to do for it
self, but what it can do for them. If
the Democratic party stands sincere
ly for real Democratic principles, It
Will triumph, for a large majority of
the American people favor these prin-
ciples at this time

LETTER FROM ROOSEVELT TO
TAFT
Those Who Know What's i'm tt Won't
TclI-Othcrs Are Guessing Yet.

Washington, June 19.-President
Taft has received a letter from Theo-
dore Roosevelt 1t had an English
postage stamp on it and very likely
came on the same steamer with the
eN-president. Men who saw Mr.. Taft
at the White House today came awav
and lin strictest confidence" told the
secret to others who, OF course. had
to have discreet assistance in keeping
it. SO it became known all over town.
At the White House al that could be
learned was that such a letter had
been received.
Those who think they know what
was in it say it was merely friend
ly reply to a friendly letter"
The letter was sent by Mr.. Taft, so
that it reached Mr.. Roosevelt just be-
fore he sailed from England. Both
letters are said TO have been compar-
atlVely long and almost wholly Of a
personal character, largely, if not en-
trely, avoiding political and official
questions: in short, just such letters as
would naturally pass between two old
friends such as the two men have
been to each other for years. Those
who know what was in the letter will
not tell.

BOYD-BROCK CASE.
Court of Inquiry Puts 1t Up to Gov.
AnSel

Columbia, June 1S.-The court of
inquiry sitting las, night exonerated
William T. Brock, the assistant adiu-
tant general, Of -Ae charge Of acting a
political traitor to !. c. Boyd, the ad-
Jutant general, but condemned his ac-
tions in several finances with refer
ence to the filing ot expense accounts
and his expenses incident to the in
spections Of the State militia during
the past several years.
The court in it's report severely
criticized the general system of filing
expense accounts as practiced by Col.
Brock.
All of the testimony taken by the
court is reviewed in detail The court
reached no decision as to what steps
should be taken. but simply reported
the facts in the case.
1t is left with Gov. Ansel as to wha,
action will be taken. Gov. Ansel in
structed the members of the court 20
make the report public. Gov. Ansel
will no doubt make some announce
ment when he returns TO the State.
AS to Col. Brooks expenses while
in Columbia during the period of in
sr.rction, the court holds that by no
rule can this charge to the State be
justified.
With reference to the letter of Gen.
Boyd, in which he charged that Col.
Brock "has wantonly wasted the
States money" it is held by the court
that the evidence fails to disclose any
criminal intent on the part of Col.
Brock. but that he was unfortunate-
~ ignorant Of the responsibility of the
high trust reposed in him and care
less and eXtravagant in his admins
tratiOn of the trust"
In reviewing the mileage book
charges as to the number of mileage
books used by Col. Brock, the court
says: 1T appears to the court that
the public business did not demand 50
much travel on the part Of the ac-
cused officer"
Concerning the filing Of expense ac-
counts by Col. Brock with the COMP
troller general, the court says: III
such has been the custom of the Office
it is to be condemned but we fail to
see wherein this can justify Col.
Brock in filing in the office Of the
comptroller general accounts contain
ing items which were false and which
he knew to be false at the time
The members Of the court who were
appointed by Gov. Ansel, arc: Willie
Jones, brigadier general; Col. William
w. Lewis, of the First regiment, Col.
Edwin r. Cox of the Second regiment
and Col. julius Z. Cogswell of the
Third regiment. Gen. Jones was the
president Of the court and Col Cogs-
well the recorder.
The court was to have met yester-
day morning at 8 o'clock 1t was
found that Col. Lewis would be una
bic to attend, so the session was post
pOned until 8 o'clock last night.

= .ew York, June 1S.-Theodore
-oosevelt set foot on home shores to-
day for the first time in nearly fifteen
months and received a rousing well
come.
He bore with his usual buoyancy a
day Of heavy fatigue, public duties
and private emotions commingled,
and at 4:40 o'clock this afternoon, af-
ter family reunion at the home Of
Theron Butler, grandfather of his
prospective daughter-in-law, Miss Ell
eanor Butler Alexander, left the city
he had surveyed the same morning
from afioat; reviewed in parade
ashore and greeted by explicit word
of mouth, to be welcomed more inti-
mately by his lifelong neighbors at
Oyster Bay, L. T., tonight. Tomorrow
he will rest.
AS a private citizen he was still the
same outspoken, vigorous man Of
both words and deeds the city of his
birth has known for thirty years. in
various public Offices, from Assembly,
man to President, and more latterly
ambassador to the jungle and monitor
to those who sit in the seats of the
mighty.
He had an expansive smile for ev-
erybody, a CHEEKY word for "the
boys" his old friends, the newspaper
men, pat anecdote for politicians,
especial greetings of affection for his
old command, the Rough Riders, and
quick eye for absolutely everything.
Roosevelt good luck" still followed
it's namesake. Though hot and sultry.
the weather held fair until the marine
parade. the exercises at the Battery.
and the march up Broadway and
Fifth avenue to Central Park had
been carried trough with punctual-
ity and precision. Then it rained
great guns. A torrential thunder
shower, accompanied by a high wind
that did much damage. swept suddxz-.
ly down on the homew ard bound visi-
tors. but cleared again shortly before
o'clock.
The welcome to Roosevelt today
was shot through with a dramatic ex-
pectancy, which long ago found popu-
lar expression in the typical phrase
the return from Elba."
His welcome today brought men
prominent in all walks Of life from all
parts Of the country-therefore it was
| national
The first zest of public curiosity
! satisfied, speculation now turns on
what share Roosevelt will take in an
| acute political situation within his
own party. But on that score specu-
lation must rest unsatisfed. The Col
onel had positively declared his inten-
tions by wireless the night before:
L shall have nothing whatever to say
III the immediate future about poll
tics" and he kept his word.
Therefore there was nothing in the
only speech he made here today that
could be construed as applying spe-
officially to this or that phase of i'm
mediate State or national issue. That
he will be importuned to take a hand
IN the New York campaign this fall,
is foregone conclusion, but by his
own declaration he will not commit
himself to any expression Of opinion
until he has acquainted himself at
hrst hand with just how the political
land shapes itself.
