Even Engiishmen here point TO tnI

fortunate here that. though Lord

his father, he has in his wife part
ner in charm and tact who Will great

Of South African diplomacy.
The Gladstones Will occupy Gov

COL. MOSby NOT
IN WANT, he SAYS
Has LIES Comforts, Makes Cup
of Tea and Occupies Only
One Bed.

Especial 70 The Richmond Eirginian.l
WASHINGTON, d. C.. July 25.-
Col. Joohn s. Mosby. noted guerilla
chieftain of the civil war. Indignantly
denied day the published report that
since dismissed from the department of
Justice he has been forced to occupy
scantily furnished quarters In an un-
desirable section of the city and that
he is so poverty striker that he cooks,
eats and sleeps In one small room.
The story OF Col. Moshys reputed
poverty was published in Washington
and Baltimore yesterday
There is no truth In it said Col.
Mosby Il am sorry that II has caused
my friends concern. About the only
thing correctly stated liz that / shall
live there prior to my removal from
office, because II is convenient to the
downtown restaurants. / do make u
cup OF coffee every morning about five
o'clock. 1t has been habit of mine
for thirty years and l do not wish TO
disturb other people at that hour.
Justice Harlan and the late Justice
Brewer followed the same custom
These are pretty good presidents.
1t is true / occupy a single bed. l
have done some extra ordinary things,
perhaps but | have never been able TO
sleep in more than one bed at a time.
/ keep only necessary furniture in my
room. books and pictures. I'm not
at an age to play the piano or run TO
hrie-a- brac."
Colonel Mosby denies that he wept
when a reporter called to see him.
Instead. he declares that he talked
jocuiarly of the long vacation given
him by the Department of Justice
when asked about his vacation plans.
He denies that he criticized those who
removed him, supposedly on account of
his advancing years. The old soldier
will begin work on his memoirs within
the next few weeks.
