A STARTLING DOCUMENT.

Forester Pinchots letter read to
the United States Senate on Thurs
day, was one of the most startling
documents ever presented to that
staid body. It's writing is believed to
have been melted by Senator Dolliver
who presented it, and it is an open
declaration of war on the administra.
ton by what may be termed the
Roosevelt adherents. 1t places all
the parties in interest in very pc.
culiar light. Either Mr.. Pinchot 10
the most audacious "insurgent" that
ever defied the lightning, or he is the
most fearless defender of the peoples
rights and interests that ever stood
forth III their defense. The action Of
the president in removeing Mr.. Pin
chot from his office in the service of
the government was the only course
left to Mr.. Taft under the circum-
stances. The dignity of the office o.
chief executive demanded It. But the
discharge Of Pinchot leaves the ad'
ministration still bearing the onus OF
proof, and white wash will no longer
avail. Unless Pinchot's assertions
can be completely disapproved Mr..

proposition to increase the directors
from nine to II will help In this work
Of cleaning up the trust. Both Semi
and Mayer are known to have been
warm friends of the late H. o. Have
meyer, whose relatives they were.
The plal as seen in the proposition
is to elect four new directors who
will be helpful to President w. b.
Thomas. When that gentleman took
charge Of the trust upon the death of
Mr.. Havemeyer, two years ago. he is
said by local stockholders to have
known nothing whatsoever about the

trust had come. But now he sees
and wishes to arrange matters to
have q cleaner administration. $
The president Of the company,
Washington B. Thomas, is resident
Of Boston. He was always looked
upon as representing the Boston. and
New england interests. When the
civil suits were being tried last spring
he gave out statement that 1t was
the policy of the new management
to make q settlement for all violations
of the law under the former manage
ment. He said that repeatedly since,
especially last month, when there was
renewed interest in the company's If.

of the former employees.
