GOES DOWN IN GALE.
Gasoline Power Tender, Worth $500,
Sinks in Lower Potomac.

Harry Carter. managing owner of the
schooner Earl Biscoe. has received a let
ter from the master of the schooner no.
tifying him of the loss of the gasoline
power tender belonging to the schooner.
According to the report the vessel was
caught in a heavy gale in the mouth of
the Potomac, and as the little schooner
jumped In the heavy seas the yawl broke
loose from the davits and quickly filed,
the heavy engine carrying 1t to the bot
tom. If the spot where the yawl sank
can be located an effort will be made 10
recover the boat but to find the place, it
IL thought, will be extremely difficult.
The yawl it is said, was valued at
about $500 and the loss of its use to the
vessel is worth considerably more. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Carter will have a
new yawl built for the use of the schoon.
er. Ordinarily the tank holding the gaso-
line has sufficient buoyancy to keep a
gasoline boat partially afioat. but in this
instance, IL is believed, the tank was toe
small, for the boat went to the bottom
like stone as soon as she filled with
water.

SENATOR PLATT DIDN'T.
BOSS MR. CORTELYOU
FORMER POSTMASTER GENERAL
TOOK ACTION AGAINST LEWIS
ON OWN INITIATIVE

Washington, Feb. George B.
Cortelyou told the house committee
on expenditures in the postoffice de-
partment today of his action in issuing
fraud orders against E. G. Lewis. of
st. Louis, in 1905 and 1907 while he
was postmaster general.
A publishing company owned by
Lewis and also the United States
bank of ST. Louis were affected by
the orders. Frank Madden, who was
third assistant postmaster general I'M
der Mr.. Cortelyou, is now counsel for
Lewis. Mr.. Cortelyou said Madden
had refused to issue fraud orders
against Lewis and that he had issued
them personally.
Mr. Cortelyou denied that any Eek
traneous influences had anything to
do with his action in the Lewis case.
His attention was called by Third AS
sistant Postmaster General Britt to
testimony taken in the investion Of
the case suggesting that former United
States Senator Platt and the express
company interests had sought the des
truotion of the Lewis company's
bank, and that it was through Platts
influence that Mr.. Cortelyou had been
made postmaster general.
Did former Senator Platt or any
express company or express trust,
asked Mr.. Britt, "either influence you
or attempt to influence you in your
action in this case?"
Not in any whatever" Mr.. Cortel
you replied. 'Mr. Platt never appear
ed in the case at any time to my
knowledge. There was no such in
fluenee introduced that l ever heard
Of"
Reading from the record Mr.. Britt
reviewed the testimony of Madden
in which inferences were made thai
the express companies had sought tc
break up the Lewis bank because i
did a mail banking business which
interfered with the money order bust
ness and that Senator Platt had Nj
Cortelyou appointed to attack the
bank and destroy it. All such infer
ences Mr.. Cortelyou emphatically de
MED. That anything entered the case
except the evidence before hin
through regular channels, he also de
MED.
"There never was anything before
me or in my mind to cause me t.
issue an order prejudicial to the Lewis
company" said Mr.. Cortelyou, II actet
in this case because 1t was my duty.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Active worl.
for the denomination and reelection
of President Taft aside from that
today when Representative william b.
Mckinley, of Illinois, chairman of the

committee, took up his new duties as
manager of the Taft campaign.
Mr.. Mckinley began work early and
planned to see many of the party
leaders now in Washington. Quarters
for the Taft boomers have not been
secured but within few days Mr.. Nc
Kinley expects to open Offices.
Although republican leaders said to-
day that it was too early to talk about
the plans of campaign after the Chi
cago convention, many friends or Mr..
Mckinley were of the opinion that If
President Taft is renominated Mr..
Mckinley will be his choice for chair
man of the republican national COM
mittee. Mr.. Mckinley probably would
be acceptable to all the old line party
leaders. Some of these leaders have
objected to Postmaster General Hitch
cock and Secretary to the President
Hilles, both prominently mentioned
heretofore for national chairman.
