FIGHT FOR cANTEEN OPENS.
Would Allow Canteens Within Fiv,
Miles of Wet Cities.

Washington.-The old fight over the
canteen question was %reopened in the
house Friday by an amendment offered
by Mr.. Keliher of Massachusetts to the
sundry civil bill to allow canteens at
all old soldiers homes within five
miles of cities where liquor is sold.
The house rejected the amendment by
a vote of IL 5to 81. Later Mr.. Keliher
reoffered the amendment, to have it
meet defeat once more.
The bill prohibited the use of any
part of the appropriations for any
branch of the national homes for dis
abled volunteers that maintains on its
premises a bar, canteen or other
place where beer, wine or other intox-
icating liquors are sold. Mr.. Keliher's
amendment was to modify this proh.-
bition by adding unless such bar is
located in or within five miles of a
city or town where the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors is permitted by law"
MI. Keliher, who said this applied
to half of the homes, contended that
the abolishing of the canteen had
proved to be a mistake.

SURELY NO PLACE FOR HER
In the Presence Of Such Magic There
Seemed But One Thing for
Maid to Do.

Prof. Percival Lowell, the eminent
Marian astronomer, said in a recent
interview in New York:
THE Marian canals are not Pana-
ma canals. The word canals you
know, really means lines. 1t
shouldn't be taken literally, as the
servant girl in Boston took the parlor
magic.
IAN amateur magician in a Beacon
street house was going through his
tricks while a maid passed in and out
with refreshments.
"The magician was reading letters
placed under a rug as the maid
brought in a tray of lemon ices.
What is this?' a spectator asked.
THAT is b, the magician an
swered; and, sure enough, his answer
was correct.
"The maid looked with astonish-
ment at the letter which had been
hidden under the thick rug. She
turned her gaze on the handsome
young magician who had read it.
Then, setting down her tray of ices,
she hid her rosy face in her hands
and ran out of the room.
Whats the good O. me clothes?'
she cried"

PARDON FOR SUGAR CRATER

Trump Card in Prosecution of Heike Is
Sprung.
New York.-Oliver Splitter, a mai
whose conscience hurt him, came back
to New York Monday like a specter
from the grave, and with a pardon
from the president in his pocket gave
testimony at the trial Of Charles e.
Heike, secretary-treasurer of the Amer.
lean Sugar Refining Company, who.
with five s~ubordinates, is charged with
conspiracy tt defraud the government
in under-weights of sugar imports.
Splitter, as superintendent of the
company's Williamsburg (Brooklyn
docks), got two years in the Atlanta
p~enitentiary for his participation in the
frauds, but he was quietly pardoned at
ter serving only three months and hav-
ing made full confession. From now
on he will aid the government in it's
attempt to convict his former asso-
ciates.
Splitter told an amazing story on the
stand under direct examination. He
was not cross-examined by the de-
tense, because of the peculiar situa-
ton created by his sudden appearance
as a government witness. Two of the
defense's lawyers had previously ap-
peared, and for ethical reasons could
not now examine him.

TREATMENT THAN IN SOUTH.
Panied That He wal Made Criticize
lieves it the Duty Of the President to
Visit the People.

Observation-Disclosures Taft Friday
sem to Chairman Tawney of the house
committee on appropriations a letter
expressing deep resentment at the
criticisms passed in the house debate
on the travelling expenses of the presi-
dent.
The president says he is especially
distressed by Suggested reflection or
Southern hospitality"
The presidents letter follows:
1.-THE White House,
Washington, May q, 1910.
my Dear Mr.. Tawney:
II am deeply grieved over the phase
which the discussion of the %appropria-
ton for the travelling expenses of the
president took yesterday. l think it
is a legitimate argument in favor OF
such an appropriation that congress-
men and many others press the &C
ceptance of invitations to visit their
sections and districts, because the ur-
gency of such requests indicates the
opinion on the part of the people that
one of the duties of the president is to
visit the people in their homes.
South Was Hospitable.
"But the intimation or suggestion
that the acceptance by congressman of
the presidents invitation to travel on
the train with him in their respective
districts or states was a reason why
they should not vote their free opinion
on the question of such an appropria-
ton is to me a most painful one.
IN travelling upon the train they
were not receiving my hospitality
they were only making a little more
elaborate the cordial welcome which
they, as representatives of their dis
tricts, wished to give.
"The feature of the discussion yes
terday which was especially distress
ing to me, was a suggested reflection
on Southern hospitality. The intima-
ton that somewhere in the South
board was charged has no foundation
in fact, and I neve heard it minated
until l saw it in this mornings paper.
He Never Criticised.
I'm all my experience, and | have
enjoyed the hospitality OF many sec
lions and countries of the world,I never
had a more cordial, generous, open
and lavish welcome than had in the
Southern states during my trip, and
the slightest hint that puts me in the
attitude Of a critic of that hospitality
gives me great pain.
81 am going to take the liberty OF
making this letter to you public. Very
sincerely yours, WIN. H. TAFT"
cerely yours,
WIN. H. TAFT"
Representative Tawney issued a
statement saying the colloquy on the
floor yesterday between himself and
Southern members regarding South
ern hospitality" had been distorted.
Mr.. Tawney said it was ridiculous to
suppose" that he would reflect upon
Southern hospitality.
