purport of your letter, in which

question whether those claims
were fraudulent or not remained
to be decided upon the evidence
after both the United States and

that every patent as an executive

CANNES Used to "Set or Dresses
While Promenading and Driv-

Who has the temerity to insist that
there is nothing new under the sun?
The fashionable women Of London
now have evolved the idea, which
is obtaining wide popularity, of no
longer keeping dogs in their homes,
but hiring them from shops instead
In this way, be it known, madame al
ways is assured of u canine that

may wear when taking her daily drive
or promenade.
In this way, so the proponents of the
new plan contend, everything that
dog offers in the way of companion
ship may be obtained, while all the pet
ty Inconvenience attendant on keep
ing one in London house are avoided.
Also it is held that the dog is better
off, because 1t lives almost wholly
under the care of professional fanciers,
even though the growth of the prac-
tice finally may Danish it from the
comforts of the best armchair. What
ever may be the opinion in the canine
world as to this rather unusual de-
parture, the hire system is in vogue.

Taft's Letter Disrnissing
PinchOt as Chief Forester

The White House. Washington,
d. c.. Jan. Sir: The secretary
of agriculture informs me that. on
Dec 2S, your associate forester,
Mr.. Price, went to him and pro-
posed to resign on the ground that
he had been engaged with Mr..
Shaw. assihtant law officer, in in
stigating the publication in various
newspapers and magazines attack
ing the good name of Secretary
BaIlinger and charging the inter-
Tor department and the land Office
with corruption.
The secretary thereupon wrote
a note to you, under date of Dec.
90, asking for your recommends
tion in the premises. You did not
answer. but on Jan. 4 you had a
conversation with him in which
you said you wished to make a
statement which should be read
in the senate at the same time that
my message transmitting the rec
ord in the CLAWS case reached
there, and that you thought you
could induce Senator Dolllver to
introduce the statement for you.
The secretary advised against
such a course, but asked you for
recommendation as to accepting
Prices resignation, in order that
he might bring the matter to me,
to whom, he told you, it must
ultimately come, because l had
considered the CLAWS charges and
had passed upon them.
Without further conference with
the secretary, and before making
a report to him, you succeeded in
making public, by having it read
in the senate. a letter from you
stating that you had sufficiently
disciplined Messrs. Price and Shaw
by reprimanding them, and that
your recommendation would be
that no further punishment was
required, and this before that rec
ommendation was submitted TO the

and duty it was to determine, upon

make such declaration in con-
greSs. for the purpose of offsetting,
if possible. in the public mind the
presidents decision in the CLAWS
case, supported by the opinion of
the attorney general, after full
examination by both of the evil
dence adduced by the accuser and
the evidence on behalf of the ac-
cuSed, while the latter evidence
you and your subordinates had
never seen.
You did this against the advice
Of the secretary of agriculture,
without notifying him that you in
tended TO do so, and without con-
ferring with me at all.
Your letter was, in effect, an
improper appeal to congress and
the public to excuse in advance the
guilt of your subordinates before l
could act, and against my decision
in the CLAWS case, before the
whole evidence on which that was
based could be considered.
l should be glad to regard what
has happened only as a personal
reflection, so that | could pass it
over and take no official cognizance
of it. But other and higher con-
siderations must govern me.
When the people of the United
States elected me president they
placed me in an office of the high
est dignity, and charged me with
the duty of maintaining that dig
nifty and proper respect for the of
fee on the part of my subordin-
ates. Moreover. if / were to pass
over this matter in silence, it
would be most demoralizing to the
discipline of the executive branch
of the government.
By your own conduct you have
destroyed your usefulness as

ment, and it therefore now be-
comes my duty to direct the sec
