To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t seems hardly right to allow the splen-
did results accomplished by The Stars
fly crusade to pass from daily notice
without a word of praise from enthusiast
tic and grateful citizens. am sure that
hundreds and thousands of others like
myself have daily watched the scores of
contestants in the fly war; have taken
a great interest in the good accomplish
ed for better public health. and feel a
sincere appreciation, for the serious, un-
tagging efforts Of The Star. Rest as
sured, that the actual killing of some mil
lions of flies Is only part of the good
accomplished. The education of the people
to the dangers of the pests in their
homes, particularly where there are chill
dren, has been of inestimable value to
the community. HUNDREDS and thousands
have joined in the swatfest and Stayed
flies galore, without their scores ever
being published. or their victims even
turned in. That our homes have been
more free from the disease carriers than
ever before seems easily certain. and ali
due to your efforts to educate us on the
dangers. l think we all take civic pride
in what has been done this summer. Let
other cities follow a good example.

ANACCSTIA.

Residents Of Randle Highlands and
Twining City are not yet satisfied with
the school facilities in that locality and.
as a result. petitions are being forwarded
to the board of education requesting that
the Orr School in the latter suburb be
kept open until such time as the new
Randle Highlands School is made easily
accessible. Parents have stated they will
refuse to send their children to the new
school under the present conditions. and
unless they are permitted to attend the
Orr School they will be sent to the
schools in Anacostia. The cause of dis
satisfaction seems to be due to the over
sight on the part Of the authorities to
have the new school in readiness for the

SOCIETY Of 0CCU[T|SM !.
TAKES FIGHT TO COURT
Oriental Esoteric Center in
Strife Over Library and
Business.

Suit has been filed in the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia as the
outcome of "A controversy affecting the
library and business relation to the ORR
entail Esoteric Center. Society and Lii
brary of the United States of America.
The Oriental Esoteric Center. Society
and Library are corporations chartered
under the laws of the District of Column
bia for the purpose of inducing the study
of oriental esoteric philosophy and &C.
cultism and to disseminate a knowledge
of comparative religion. The center's
work began in 1902. and in 1904 DR.. de
Sarak, the center's founder, went to
Europe, leaving the work in charge of
Miss A. E. Marsland. Subsequently the
center and society were incorporated.
with Miss Marsland as president, and
took over the library now in dispute.
DIR. Henry n. Stokes was appointed IL
brarian of the center and society. being
a large contributor, and acted in that
capacity both before and since the in
society and library was established at
1f43 Q street northwest. Dissatisfaction
is alleged TO have arisen between the
officers and DR.. Stokes as to the latter
methods as librarian and his more recent
attitude toward the center and society.
Finally the differences between Miss
Marsland as president and DIR. Stokes as
librarian eliminated in the Incorporated
center, society and library filing suit
in equity to restrain DIR. Stokes from
using the corporate name "Oriental ESQ
teric Library" DIR. Stokes having been
removed by the center and society as a
member thereof.
Plea of Plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs further ask that the
library itself. consisting of books. manu-
scripts. mailing lists, book borrowers
lists, inqurers' lists, ledger accounts,
business and publishers lists, ETC., be de-
creed to belong to the incorporated CEN
ter. society and library ani not to DIR.
stokes.
The appointment of receivers to take
charge of the business of the library
pending the litigation is regretted, and
an accounting from DIR. Stokes of the
trust fund alleged to have been made up
from the loan and sale of books, manu-
scripts. etc. belonging to the library is
sought by the plaintiffs. Leonard j. Ma
her and Eugene C. Brokmeyer are coun-
sci for plaintiffs.

energy
Senator Paynter said it had been sug-
gested that Mr.. Fresch was at one
time connected with the Standard Oil
Company.
Warns Standard Oil Contributors.
Col. Roosevelt leaned back in his
chair. laughed. and exclaimed:
MY dear senator, il any one connect
ed with the Standard Oil Company is
contributing to me now he is doing so
at his own peril. l don't feel obliged
to warn him. Do you think from Mr..
Archbold's testimony he was in favor
of me?'
This brought forth a wave of laugh
ter.
Col. Roosevelt said he could give the
committee no Information of the ex-
penditures of his managers in this
years primary campaign.
1T has been suggested that a large
sum Of money was underwritten to be
spent in the campaign. What do you
know about that?"
The colonel said there was absolute
ly no such arrangement. On one occa-
sion the expense of a special train for
trip was underwritten by Mr.. Per
kins and Mr. Munsey, 1 think. The sum
was later paid back" he added
McHarg's Southern Trip.
Regarding the charges that Ormsby NC
Harg tried to get southern delegates TO
the republican national convention to vote
for Roosevelt with promises of money or
patronage, Col. Roosevelt produced the
following letter, written to McHarg March
4, 1912:
My Dear Mr.. McHarg: Recently l
learned that some of our opponents mad
asserted that in the south you had en-
deavored to get delegates for me by
promise of money or patronage, Or In
some other way that was not proper. l
told the man who brought me the story
that l was absolutely sure that there was
not a particle of truth in it, mentioning
incidentally that as a matter or fact
when you went to the south l had no idea
that you were going. and that it was not
until your return that I met you and
found that you Were SO kind as TO be my
supporter.
while, of course, as I have said, l am
absolutely certain of the utter falsity of
the accusation made against you. l should
like your personal assurance that you
never endeavored by promises of pa
tronage or by use of money. or in any
other improper way, to try to influence
any man to support me, whether in the
south or otherwise.
1T is just as well that I should be able
to answer explicitly and definitely any
future accusation of the kind. With all
good wishes. sincerely yours,

Col. Roosevelt said he had no knowledge
of any conference of big financial inter-
ests in New York to devise ways and
means to support the republican candi-
dates" He knew nothing of the appoint
ment Of a secret advisory committee" in
1904, or whether Mr.. Hartman had been
asked by Mr.. Cortelyou to serve on such
a committee.
"Fresch of New York;" repeated the
colonel. trying to recall the name. "I
know SO many Fresch men l feel as If
must ask If I know the man."
So he turned to Mr.. Loeb, who said
Mr. Fresch was in the sulphur bust
ness.
You see." interrupted the colonel,
ut may be some one who has said to
me. L am the man who waved the flag
when you came into the station. or
something Of that kind"
This one seemed to be extremely
anxious to wave your flag, for he con-
tributed $4,000 to your pre-convention
campaign" retored Senator Pomerene.
