no necessity for new party. The issue is clearly drawn for the people. It is Wall street versus Wilson. It is even more than that. All of the evil forces of America will finally line up with Wall street and Mr. Taft. MT. Woodrow Wilson, in character, tenn perarnent,s preparation and fitness is above the high average of American preeidenta& He is Christian, schol- ar and an American citizen. \ hope Colonel Roosevelt will not be a can- didate.
 Republicans can vote for MT. Wi1- son without leaving their party or bolting. There has been no nonina- ton by the Republican party. The action of the political freebooters at Chicago is not binding upon the Re- publican party even If for the mo- ment they are bearing aloft it's stolen ensign.
 Colonel Roosevelt cannot be elimi- mated as a great political force by temporary trickery. Bryan was not eliminated by three defeats Roose- welt is a strbnger factor than Bryan. His candidacy and gthe. Republicans had more to do with compelling the nomination Aof Wilson than any one thing the Democrats did. Wall street thought it owned both parties
 Wilson is not owned by anybody. He will lead the people against the financial oveflords in orderly but earnest fashion.

.xplicabIe to. mv mind

applicable to my mind
 For many months at a time h0 has persistently refused even to speak to those officials with whom he should nave been in constant personal com munication'
 Andre wseited instances where he said MacVeagll fefused to have any relations with Secretary Hilles, when Hflles was an assistant secretary of the treasury. Treasurer McCiung has only been allowed one short inter view with MacVeagh in more than . year. and Director Ralph, of the Bu- reau of Engraving, has been similar ly treated, according to Andrew.
 'tIn my own case,'' wrote Andrew. with an office adjoining and con- municating with that of the secretary although I have supposedly been the representative of the secretary. in his dealings with, 19 dfffefent biireaus and divisions of the treasury I have not been allowed in the aggregate a to- tai of more than one hours conyersa- tlon with him., including private in- terviews and conferences, in the pres eice of others during the entire past year.
 Andrew said that his letters to Mac Veagh on department matters have been unanswered. This conduct of business in the department. is, of whom MT. MacVeagh had been wise enough to select as heads of depart- ments. have been discouraged by idi- osycrasies. his astounding capacity for procrastinati ton, his incapacity for de- eisions and the peculiar modes of eva sion to. which he is frequently subject
 He has treated some of his most eff ficient aides, Andrew declared, with harsh ingratitude and a. lack of con- sideration little short of brutal"
 In his personal letter to Macvea gh, Andrew accuses the secretary of in- gratitude in that Andrew stood by the secretary when the latter was threat ened with humiliation
 You cannot forget how I stood by you.'' Andrew wrote to MacVeagh. when you were on the point of hav- ing taken from your hands what was probably the most important unders taking of your career. When the White House, in December, 1910, with out consulting you and entire Iy without your knowledge, entered into negotiations for an issue of Panama bonds. the embarra ssment of the situation threatened to force your resignation. You will remember that I did every- thing 1r my power to avert your tu- initiation and that I ioyaIly aEreed to resign and leave the service with yow if your resignation became neces- Sary.'

London, July 3--Wireless. telegraphy is destined to become the most effec- tive of all the lifesaving equipment of ocean going vessels, under the inter- national agreement reached by the wireless conference which is to be signed Friday by representatives of the United States and every maritime power of Europe. The next confer ence will be held in Washington, in June, 1917.

North Washington Avenue Building Line in Dispute

A dispute about building line on North Washington avenue has result ed in contempt proceedings being brought against Morris Liebernan, who appeared before Judge Wilder. in the city court, civil side, this morn ing. It is alleged that Lieberman did not obey an injunction recently ob- tained by F'i1omena Montuori.
 FiIomena originally brought pro- ceedings on the ground that Lieber- man was constructing his building over the line. Judge Scott of the court of common pleas issued an in junction restraining Lieberman from proceeding with the work and then Lieberman brought the matter before the common council. He was given leave to withdraw. The injunction obtained by the city from Judge Scott did not remain in force and Judge Wilder enjoined Lieberman from fur ther building operations. It is claim ed that in spite of the injunction, Lieberman has proceeded with the work. The hearing was still on at press hour.

HANDSOME BLONDE
 IS BOLD THIEF
Detectives Unable to Ascer- tain Identity of Fashion
 able Woman

Who is the mysterious blonde wo- man, we'll dressed, and bare headed, who is practicing sneak thievery in the residential sections of the city?
 This is the problem that perplexes the detective bureau and has several victims of the thievery badly vexed. The most striking illustration of the wonnar's boldness was given at the home of William w. Jones, 316 Colo rado avenue, where she walked into the house as if she belonged there, in full view of several neighbors and while the people of the house were in another part of the home she went through the front rooms, and found a purse containing S18
 It was several hours before Mrs. Jones discovered that the purse had been taken, and when she spread the alarm, neighbors who had seen the strange woman enter and leave the house, for the first time realized that it was a clever thief instead of as they supposed guest at the Jones resi- dence.
 Mrs. Mclaughlin and Mrs. Prev, living at 1546 Main street, reported to the police today that sneak thieves had entered their home yesterday and made off with small sums of cash.

ANDREW RESIGNS ACCUSING
 M'VEICH OF PROCRASTINATION
 AND 1NCAPACITY FOR DECISIONS
Assistant Secretary of Treasury Addresses
 Letter to President Taft

Washington, July 3--A. Pfatt An drew, assistant secretary of the treas ury, resigned, today, in 8 letter con taining such stinging criticism of Secretary MacVeagh that it has start ed what may become an administra- tion scandal
 Andrew wrote both to- MacVeagh, criticising MacVeagh for his 'inde- cision and attitude of hostility toward minor officials in the department In his letter to Taft, Andrew names practically every bureau head in the treasury as having had trouble with MacVeagh.
 Macveagh has gone to Dublin. N. H., to spend the Fourth. Andrew would make no comment on his resig- nation, except to make public his let- ters. Andrew was expert adviser to the Aldrich monetary commission and practically drew up the Aldrich cen tral bank plan bill This statement was issued at the White House:
 MT. Andrews resignation as assist ant secretary of the treasury was re- quegted, submitted and accepted in view of his failure to obey orders giv- en him by the secretary"
 In his letter to President, Andrew said:
 For a long time the transaction of much of the treasury's business has been. at a standstill and an outbreak or some SOrI naS D0O1s IH11QInGHLs Many able and energetic treasury of ficials have had to bear the brunt o1 harsh criticism from people outside who have suffered interminable delays in their business iii the treasury. for which the secretary alone was respon- sible and at the same time they have had to submit to criticism even more harsh and more undeserved from MT. MacVeagh himself whenever he dis covered that they had ventured to act upon some matter of minor import ance without awaiting his decision.
 Time and again the agents oi great divisions of the treasury have found themselves unable to carry on the business entrusted to them and have been discouraged to the verge of resigning their position because they were unable to obtain any opinion or decision from MT. MacVeagh upon ur- gent questions which had been before them for many months. At the same time they, have invariably been re- preached by him for such limited ac- ton as they may have been com pelled to take on their own respon- sibility. A
 Toward many so9 the higher treas ury officials, MT: MacVeagh has, from time 4os time, diArlayed an aversion suspician and distrust which. in view Of the fact that these officials were men of his own cholce,, would seem in
