"Idiosyncrasies Id

WASHINGTON, July 3.-A. Platt
Andrew, assistant secretary of the

ton to President Taft. In a spirited
letter to the President, Mr.. Andrew
writes of conditions in the treasury
department which are alleged to be

The letter charges that subordinates

1T contains a scathing arraignment
of Secretary MacVeagh's administra-
ton of the governments financial af-
fairs, and has created a profound
sensation in official circles.
One part of the letter to the Presi-

Quotes Letter to Macvesgh.
DIR. Andrews letter to Secretary
MacVeagh advising him of the resig-
nation, discloses the hitherto unpub-
lished fact that Mr.. MacVeagh was
on the verge of leaving the cabinet
in December, 1910. In one part the
letter says:
You cannot forget how stood by
you when you were on the point of
Having taken from your hands what
was probably the most important un-
dertaking of your administration.
When the White House, in December,
1910, without consulting with you. and
entirely without your knowledge, en-
tered into negotiations for an issue
of Panama bonds, the embarrass-
ment Of the situation threatened to
force your resignation. You will re-
member that I did everything in my
power to avert your humiliation, and

leave the service with you If your
resignation became necessary"
DIR. Andrews letter to the Presi-
dent says in part.

LOSES SUIT
FOR SALARY

In the fight between the State Civil
Service Commission and Frank P.
Shalvoy over his claim for salary as
an appointed court attendant, Chief
Justice Gummere today signed an
order to show cause why a peremp-
tory or alternative writ of mandamus
should not issue out of the Supreme
Court directing the commission to
certify the payroll of the sheriff of
Essex county as of April Is, 1912.
The order, which is returnable Mo-
vember 5. is the result of the commits
sion's refusal to pay Mr.. Shalvoy
$3.50 for services as a court at
tendant.
The litigation is the outcome of
the Leavitt bill exempting couuf at
tendants from civil service regula-
ton. Mr.. Shalvoy was appointed in
November, 1911, for a temporary APP
pointment. Later a civil service ok
animation was held for the same
position, which Shalvoy took, but
failed to receive the necessary aver
age for an appointment. He now
claims he<is legally entitled to his
position by value of the Leavitt law
of last winter.

WILSON TO
DO DIRECTING

BALTIMORE, Md, July S.-Gov-
ernor Woodrow Wilson will, in the
main, determine the direction of his
own campaign for President; pass
upon the desirability of. appointing a
campaign committee and confer with
a subcommittee of the national
committee on the naming of the Off
GERS Of the new Democratic national
committee.
This was the sense of the MEM
bers of the new national committee,
which met today, and after continu-
ing the officers of the old committee
in power until a permanent organiza-
ton was effected, designated a sub
committee of five. consisting of Chair
man Mack, Secretary Woodson and
three other committeeman. to confer
with Governor Wilson on the perma-
nent organization of the new commit
tee.
The subcommittee will also confer
with Governor Wilson on any plans
that the presidential nominee may
have with respect to the conduct of
his campaign, and will report back
to the full national committee at
such time and place as Chairman
Mack may designate.
1t was stated In committee meeting
that the continuance of the retiring
officers until a permanent organiza-
ton was perfected was entirely agree
able to Governor Wilson.
The committee heard a protest by
Congressman George F. O'~Shaunessy.
of Rhode Island, against the seating
of George w. Greene. of Woonsocket,
on the committee. Mr.. O'Shaunessy
urged that he was duly elected by a
primary provided by the Rhode Island
state Central Committee. Mr..
O'Shaunessy charged that many
fraudulent votes were cast for Greene.
The committee dismissed tn protest
on the ground thai the national COM
mittee had previously passed on the
case, and that it's action has been
confirmed by the full national con-
vention. The committee then adj
journed.
The name of w F. McCombs, of
New York, campaign manager of
Governor Wilson, was talked about
this afternoon as a likely choice for
either the new national chairman or
head Of a campaign committee.

THREE HURT
IN EXPLOSION
Harry w. Roger.

Three flremen of Truck Company
No. 8 are today suffering from severe
injuries RECEIVED when a fire ex-
tinguisher exploded with terrific force
last night at a small blaze In a house
at ~ Newton street.
Fireman Harry W. Roger, of 4OS
South Sixth street, who was carrying
the extinguisher when it blew apart,
is in a. serious condition, his breast
bone broken and his right arm frac-
tured in two places. Captain Denis
Guidera, of II Paramount avenue. has
his thumb and fingers smashed James
F. Murphy, of LAT South Eighth
street, has a broken arm and cuts
about the face.
The fire was in the apartment Of
Mrs. Laura Patmont or the second
floor. After using all the chemical
in the trucks tank the firemen bor-
rowed one of the extinguishers of the
Salvage Corps. This. however, was
of different construction from that
used by the fire department. 1t had
a cock that had to be opened at the
end of a rubber tubing.
Overlooking this cock. the f1remen
turned the handle and broke the glass
container inside. This released the
chemicals and generated a powerful
gas.
An instant later the tank exploded.
Roger was struck in the chest by the
copper bottom and the other men
were hurled to the ground.
The injured men were treated at
the German Hospital and removed to
their homes.
