PERKINS DISCUSSES CHARGES

New York, May 20.-Publication OF
all correspondence relating to the
prosecution of the International .har-
vester company was suggested yes
terday by George w Perkins, the
iinancier, who upon his return here
yesterday issued reply to the state
ment given out at the White House
last Friday night by Charles d. Hill
les, secretary to the president. The
statement by Mr. Perkins which was
made at the Roosevelt headquarters,
read:

the harvester matter and fail TO find
anything in it that in the remotest
degree answers my letter OF April
20 last to Chairman Mckinley. II
Mr.. Taft and his manageis had at
any time meant to be fair and square
and frank with the public in this
matter. they would have complied
With the Senate's recent request and
published in full all that has taken
place in regard to the harvester com
pany during the Taft administration.
especially during the last l2,or Is
months.
"The public is being deluged daily
with the Taft version OF how Mr..
Roosevelt held up Mr. Bonaparte's
suit against the harvester company
and why; but great care is being Ia
ken to keep from the public all know
ledge as to whether or not Mr. Taft
held up Mr. Wickersham's suit
against the harvester company and
why.
Full publicity regarding the whole
affair would enable the public Ia
form its own judgment and reach Its
own conclusion. Il would also show
what Mr.. Hilles regards as proper
favors for private secretary to a
president seeking denomination to
ask from the officers Of corpora
ton threatened with prosecution by
the self-same president"

The famous and well known Henry
family played "Old Adirondack" on
Saturday evening in the town
hall before packed house.
Among the characters William
Danforth played by A. N.
Henry. Mr.. Henry has taken part in
the play that has been presented
each evening during the week and
doing all he has done exceptionally
well and has pleased the audience.
Mr.. Henry is also a devoted violin
player and ranks among the first In
that line of work. Amos Bascom,
played by c. w. Henry, is one OF the
funniest characters during the whole
play, in fact in all plays he has taken
part he meets a roar OF laughter
from the audience the minute he ap-
pears on the stage. His funny say
ings, ETC., will make the most melan-
choly person laugh. Ralph Lenox
played by James Cannon was very
clever and he more than captivated
the audience. His part was that OF
"a lumber Jack" and he most admir-
ably carried his part out. His make
up and the way he mastered the
French is deserving of mention
Tim Rafferty,, X. f. d. carrier, played
by Harry Wentworth was very good
Claude Mellon, played by Wayne
Hamilton was very funny and Lu
ella Sparken's played by Miss Flor
ence b. Henry who was very much in
love with Claude The two kept the
audience roaring all the while they
were on the stage. This is the only
play during the week when Miss
Florence Henry has played a funny
part. In all other plays she has hat
a most difficult part to play. EyelyI
Ialton (the city LADY, played by Mis-
Grace NJ Henry was the first tim

leading part, but she did well an

their experimental efforts have devel-

was a possibility. and his achieve

him TO a high place in the records OF

undoubtedly the first men to operate
flying machines successfully. and from
their experiments the world has
learned most of what IL knows about
