Roosevelt Charged With Trickery.

The Taft bureau has given out this
statement:
Tho extremes to which Theodore
Roosevelt went to protect the interests
was not confined to the harvester trust,
but was also extended to the steel trust.
In January. 1909, the Senate committee
Of the judiciary undertook an investiga-
ton Of the merger Of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company, which merger was
accomplished by permission Of President
Roosevelt.
January 22, 1909, Herbert Knox Smith,
then commissioner Of the bureau OF cor
porations, was summoned before this
committee. When called upon to furnish
all data In his ofllcial possession relative
to the relations between the steel trust
and the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany, Mr.. Smith declined on the ground
that he was not permitted to give any
confidential Information to any person ex-
cept to the President of the United
States.
'On the following day Commissioners
Smith appeared before the committee
bearing Official correspondence between
him attorney General Bonaparts
I'm his opinion Attorney General Bona,
parte advised Mr.. Smith to inform the
President Of the demand Of the Senate.
This correspondence being laid before
President Roosevelt, he sent q moving
yan to the Department OF Commerce and
Labor with the following letter.:
In view Of what you state to me you
have been asked by the subcommittee of
the judiciary committee Of the Senate to
produce, I direct that you Immediately
forward to me all the papers In your
possession relating to the steel corpora
ton and to the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company. SO that in accordance with the
law an0 to facilitate the inquiry Of the
Senate I may direct you what portions
OF these papers you may properly make
public. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.'
THE papers were taken from the
bureau Of corporations to the 'garret' Of
the White House and kept there until
the Roosevelt administration expired on
March 4. 1909. President Roosevelt kept
them under lock and key, in defiance of
the United States Senate, by a trick, and
laughed at the situation he had created. .

Conditions Are Discussed.

But the discussion of conditions in the

of the report:
by the judicious exercise of police
surveillance in the District OF Columbia
a gradual and very substantial diminu-
ton of the number of such places has
been effected, and a great many local.
tiles which were formerly the sources
of criminal disorder and other forms of
vice have been cleared of their de-
moralizing features.
The conditions here are constantly
Improving. as shown by statistics gath
cred by the Commissioners and state
ments made by several prominent
clergymen OF various denominations of
this city. and favorable commenda-
tions by inspectors of the United States
government and the police records.
One of the inspectors of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, who
made an exhaustive investigation OF the
subject, reported as follows:
" i can therefore say with safety that
the city (of Washington)- is. broadly
speaking, clean as compared with other
city centers Of population
The Commissioners appreciate fully
their responsibilities in this matter and
have given and continue to give a
great deal Of study to this subject"

Ministers Quoted by Commits
sioners in Letter Dealing
With Kenyon Bill.

Several prominent clergymen of va
rious denominations of this city, are
quoted by the District Commissioners, in
a letter to the Senate District committee
today as making statements that WASH
ington is steadily improving In its
morals, as measured by the existence of
disorderly houses and resorts
The letter was written in response to a
request Of the Senate committee for their
opinion Of the kenyon bill to wipe out
disorderly resorts in the National Capt.
tai by declaring those who own, control
or use building for such purposes are
guilty Of maintaining a public nuisonce
and subject to penalties for maintaining
a nuisance.
The Commissioners do not think the
method proposed in the bill is the
proper one TO meet the evil, although
they admit they have no other remedy
TO suggest. The evil would only be In
creased. in the opinion Of the Commits:
s,oners. If the remedy suggested by the
bill were applied.

The IheQterS

One of the best things in theatrical
way seen in this city for long time
was Neil O'Brien's Minstrels, which
played at the Gennett last evening.
Whatever Neil O'Brien may or may
not be, none can deny he is an artistic
producer.
The scenic effects were all that the
press agent had heralded them. Es-
pecially notable were they in Follow
Ing the Flag" whose story was laid
in the Philippines. the landscape &C
cessories being realistic. Not only de-
picting the peculiar topography, vege-
tation and atmosphere of that country
but painting them with distinction
These scenic pictures were more than
scenic, more than mural, almost those
of the easel. The picture on the cur
tain was really lovely in color harmon
les and finely balanced in values and
would have graced an environment of
far different character. Whoever paint
ed it was an artist-not a scenic art
list.
In "a Touch of Nature" too, the
landscape effects achieved were out of
the ordinary, the perspective being
striking and the light we'll handled.
Neil O'Brien is one of the funniest
men of his class on the stage, and
was encored again and again after his
first appearance in Luxury half
sung, half recited in his characteristic
laconic manner.
Eddie Maizer, a great local favorite,
was given a cordial reception and all
the soloists were warmly greeted and
encored, one of the hits being the song
by w. H. Thompson, You're Just as
Sweet at Sixty as you were at Sweet
Sixteen" in which Master Hagen,
who has sweet boys voice, joined.
Billy Van, the well known minstrel
and vaudeville actor, convulsed the
audience in the second part with his
monologue, Or. Nut" in which his
genuine histriOnic talents were
brought into play. and O'Brien himself
was extraordinarily diverting as the
star performer in his burlesque of mill
itary service in the Philippines, Fol
lowing the Flag which was capital
farce.
The Exposition Four" were whole
evenings entertainment in themselves,
playing, singing, dancing, both in So
10 and in ensemble, with effective
scenic appurtenances and striking cos
tunes which they changed with all
the astonishing rapidity lettered On
the program.
In "a Touch of Nature" with it's
beautiful landscape background and
vari-colored lights, a vivid contrast

FINGER TIPS OFF
Edgar Parks Loses Them in
Machine, Wednesday.

Dissatisfied with country life and
lured by the spell of the city, Edgar
Parks left his home near Greenville,
Ohio, early this week to seek his for
tune in Richmond
He found employment at the Hoosier
Drill works yesterday and was assign
ed to trip machine. Four hours aft
er he took charge of the machine en-
ployes in the room were startled with
cry of pain. They saw Parks extri-
eating his hands from the cogs of the
machine.
Parks found that the ends of the
four fingers of the right hand had been
mangled at the first joint. The tips
were removed later. He was given
first aid in the emergency hospital at
the plant and then removed to his
boarding house.
Work in factory has some draw
backs" he remarked to a fellow en-
ploye, as he left the scene of the &C
cident.
