TELLS OF LETTER TO TAFT

Declares His Communication. Intended
to Convey to President That, in His
Opinion, the Interior Department Was
Not in "safe Hands"-Two Hours
Devoted to Correcting Amusing Err
rors in Testimony.
Washington, Feb. 15.-Under cross
examination by counsel representing
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger, L.
R. CLAWS, the star witness of the
prosecution in the Ballinger-Pinchot
inquiry, testified that in his communi-
cation to President Taft he intended
to intimate that in his opinion the in
terror department was not in "safe
hands" and that under the administra-
ton of Messrs. Ballinger and bennett
the interests of the nation were not
being properly conserved. ..-s
He intended no imputation of cor,
ruptness; if he had he said he would
have gone to the grand jury and not
to the president with his representa-
lions. ~
The proceedings were delayed for
over two hours in making corrections

BaIIinger's Attorneys Present.
Attorneys Brandeis and Cotton, rep
resenting CLAWS and occupying the
position of prosecutors, were opposed
by Attorneys Vertress and Rasch, rep.

the interior department. When CLAWS
was recalled to the stand Mr.. Bran
deis announced there were some cor

CLAWS thereupon proceeded to make
the corrections. Most of the mistakes,
it appeared, had been due to his drawl
and lisp. His "r's" are always pro,

the record his testimony read. There

lions had been made and Mr.. Vertrees
took up the cross-examination of the
witness.

THE MINIATURE BULLDOG.
New English Name for the Made
Over Toy Bulldog.

Under the designation of miniature
bulldog many non-doggy people may
fail to recognize their old friend, the
toy bulldog, but he it is, going strong
under the name that Providence and
the Kennel Club have recently pre-
scented him with.
Their decision was brought about
by the raising of h weight from
twenty pounds to the more massive
limit of twenty-five pounds, which,
though it enabled many a poor can
didate for show honors in toy bull
dogdom to give much painful and en-
forced abstinence and fasting, also
clearly rendered the prefix toy"
somewhat farc,cal. Few even of the
Amazons of the present athletic day
would care to walk a mile carrying
a twenty-five pound dog.
The Toy or, as it is now style',
founded ten years ago by a small
band of enthusiasts. The Duchess
of Sutherland has been president Of
the club ever since it was organized.
1t was no more than revival of the
breed, toy bulldogs having been COM
mon in England sixty years ago, par
ticularly among the lace workers in
Nottingham.
But they fell into disrepute and
were exported chiefly to France,
ceasing practically to exist on this
side of the channel. While in the
land of Gaul they cannot be said to
have improved, and they returned 20
England in 1898 with, it may be per-
feet manners, but also with mon
strous bat ears and a want of under
jaw, distressing even in this genera
ton of chinless young men.
In consequence they were far from
welcomed by the sturdy supporters If
the burly beefsteak- eating British
bull dog and many unkind things were
written and said of them. But the
Toy Bulldog Club worked hard and
successfully, bat ears are almost a
thing of the past, good classes and
championships are given for them at
all the leading shows, and really
interesting replica of the big bull

"Mr. McRae, please tell the lady
who is waiting for me to step in my
dressing room," This statement was
uttered by one of the sweetest voices
1 ever had the pleasure of listening
to, the voice of Margaret Oswald,
beautiful, dainty Margaret Oswald,
popular leading woman of the Henry
McRae Stock Company.
In allegiance to this statement Mr..
McRae very courteously ushered me
into a dressing room that was con-
fusion of silks, lingerie and gorgeous
creations in Partisan gowns, and box
upon box of the very latest fashions
and designs in millinery. On being
introduced to Miss Oswald ny first
question was:
"Why 60 you, who have been so
long associated with your husband,
Mr.. McRae, call him MP"
Miss Oswald's very frank reply
was Because that's his name" Her
reply was a most satisfying one and
acquainted me with another admir-
able characteristic of this very popu
lar actress.
perhaps you think it strange, said
Miss Oswald, chat I should not ad-
dress Mr.. McRae by his given name,
but we have been together for sew
eral years in an existence of perfect
peace and harmony and I have never
yet called him Henry Perhaps it
is peculiar, but somehow it was a
trait of character taught me from my
infancy"
Miss Oswald in apologistic manner
went on to explain to me why it was
that she could not be more sociable
and enjoy the society of the many
most estimable people she had the
pleasure of meeting in Honolulu
"Do you know" said she, "I be-
lieve I am the busiest woman in the
islands. This proposition of present
ing two plays each week is a very
strenuous one, I can assure you, and
believe me, one that we have not
been accustomed to. And as I and
Mr.. McRae firmly believe and insist
on making each of our productions
complete in every detail you can ina
CINE how we have to struggle to do
this in three days. Of course we
receive good assistance from our
company, and We have always been
fortunate enough to surround our
selves with a company of clever
people, people of refinement and
education as we'll as ability, and VINO
take a decided interest in their work,
with the sole ambition and determin-
alton of making our business a sue
cess, which I can assure you is a
great help to Mr.. McRae and myself.
And right here I want to say to you
that We are desperately in love with
your beautiful island I myself have
played in almost every city of the
werld and I can truthfullY say that
no place that l have ever visited has
impressed me or appealed to me
as has your beautiful city of Homo
lulu. 1t is certainly the Paradise Of
the Pacific'-or the world for that
matter, why, just think of it! I have
been here four weeks and ! have
never yet heard an oath uttered on
your streets Or witnessed a brawl
or disturbance of any kind. This in
comparison with other cities of this
size is phenomenal Then your CHI
mate is so wonderful, the air so ex-
hilarqting, your scenery so gorgeous
