ROOSEVELT WOULD
 REFU7E CHARGES
Denies Charges of Soliciting and Approving Campaign
 Contribution.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Oyster Bay, \. Y.-Having failed to obtain hearing before the Senate committee Investigating campaign con tributlons because of the inability of the committee to get together, Colonel Roosevelt plans to write the commit tee letter embodying some of the things which he would have testified lie also declared in a statement in which he also took the committee to task for permitting John D. Archbold to sail for Europe without telling more about the $25,000 he contributed to the Republican campaign in Pennsylvania in 1904
 Col Roosevelt had received no di- rect word from Senator clapp when the correspondents visited him at Sagamore Hill. He had heard, he said indirectly, of the committees inability to have him appear before it. He was greatly chagrined, he said Also, he added, the senate need not bother about eonferring additional powers oa the committee if they wanted to find out about his primary campaign, his relations with Geo w. Perkins and William Finn. the Pittsburg leader, or any other matters connected with his primary campaign, or, for that matter, anything that he had ever done as president.
 Details of his primary campaign. however. would have been brought out by questioning him. Col. Roosevelt said, and, inasmuch as he will not be questioned, he plans at present to confine himself chiefly in his letter to refUttng the testimony of John n. Archbold. in which MT Archbold said he was assured that Col. Roosevelt knew of and approved the contribu- tion of sl00,000. which Archbold testi- fled he made in 1904 to the Repub;i. can campaign.
 "Mr Cortelyou tells me that he never heard Mir. Archbolds name men, tioned in connection with any contri- button by Mir. Bliss" Col. Roosevelt said. and that as regards himself, the whole story is fabrication out of the whole cloth, as of course 1t is about me

Fl NERAL SERVICES , OF GENERAL BOOTH
Simple but Impressive Cere- 3zs monies Honor Founder of
 Salvation Army.
THOUSANDS ATTEND
Coffin Was of Plain Pne-FloraI Tribute From Kins-Forty Bands
 Play Dirges.

sAAestern Newspaper Union News Service
 ie2hdon.-Funeral services for the founder of the Salvation Army. Gen. William Booth. took place at the oiym pia. h accordance with tradi- uonsl of the organization, they were without pomp or symbols of mourn ing, but were carried out with nov ing fervor and impressiyeness.
 Thirtyfour thousand persons par-i- cipated in the function. Nearly half of them wore blue coats and red fer seys or boHnets with the red ribbon, 90 familiar on the streets of the cities of the world where the army is estab. lished
 The body of the late general in plain pine coffin, rested high upon a catafalque in front of the big platform across the end of the hall where all of the chief officers of the organiza. ton were seated. and where 40 bands of music were massed. The crimson flag of the army, "of fire and blood" which the general unfurled on Mount Cavalry, was planted above the plat form. A bank of flowers, composed of the tributes sent by members of royalty and many soldiers of the army, was behind it. Many flags of nations in which the eommander-in-chief had waged campaigns and the standards of tho older divisions of the army were arraHed in front of the platform.
 The front rows of chairs before the coffin were filled with representa- tivesi of various bodies and also the equerry for the king, several mayors in their robes and chains of office. 4 delegation from the Stock Exchange, ministers and clergymen of all the Protestant churches and Jewish rabbis and many notable personages were seated throughout the house. But the rank and file of the great gathering was composed of the plain people, for whom the army works and of whom it is composed.

TIGHTEN TIE LID
 ON POST0FF|CES
Hereafter it Will be Impossible to Get Mail on Sunday,
 Only One Exception.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-All first and second class postoffices will be closed on Sun- days as a result of one provision of the new postal appropriation bill pass- ed by congress and signed by Presi- dent Taft.
 Every important city in. the United States is affected. Hereafter only special delivery letters will pass through on that day and no mail will be placed in lock boxes.
 Postoffices in several cities have been closed Sundays heretofore. The postmaster general has permitted that under a regulation where it was evi- dent that local sentiment demanded l., The closing is now compelled by law.
 What seemed to be an innocent and inoffensiye amendment to the post office appropriation bill, which was put in by Minority Leader Mann of Illinois, caused a general protest from all parts of the house. The amend ment provides that all first and second class postofices and those of smaller towns also, shall be closed from 12 o'clock midnight every Saturday until midnight Sunday. The provision is so drastic in it's nature that not even patrons of the postoffice who have lock boxes will be allowed to get their mail At the office of the third as sistant p0stmaster general this even- ing it was stated that the provisions means that newspapers sent out on Sunday will remain in the office until Monday No exception is made in any class of mail except the bearing a special delivery stamp.
 The postoffice appropriation bill is already law, President Taft having at- fixed his signature to the measure, and the pcstoffice officials have al ready mailed thousands of letters di recting that the postoffices be closed every week from midnight Saturday until the same hour Sunday night. Perhaps the greatest inconvenience wrought by the enactment of the bill will be upon the publishers of and sub scribers to the newspapers.

MAJOR RAY ACTIVE
 IN TAFT'S BEHALF
Committee Reports Findings in Investigation of Soldiers
 Activities.
---T- .--s7 7=.-S-s : ss.-@s-.1.,-
Western Newspaper Union News serviea

Western Newspaper Union News servicA Washington.-The house Committee on War Department Expenditures re- ported that Major Beecher s. Ray, U. s. A., whom the president nominated to be deputy paymaster general of the army, had been engaged in political activities, particularly in the interest of President Taft; had been at times charged with serious offenses, never vindicated, and never been disciplin. ed more than by a reprimand
 Investigation of Major Rays case attracted wide attention because of the committees charge that Secretary Stimson was withholding important pa pers bearing upon it. It is believed the committees report was hastened by President Taft's nomination of Major Ray for promotion. Ray is in line for advancement under the law. It was said the president and Secre- tary Stimson decided to send his nomination and leave it's confirmation to the senate
 The committees finding in part is as follows:
 Major Ray has been engaged in political activity in the interest of the Republican party, and particularly in the interest of the president.
 Tn connection with one of the charges against Major Ray, court.mar- tlal proceedings were stopped by a cablegram from the chief of staff with out apparent reason.
 The papers in the case were with. held from the offices of the adjutant general, where they should have been filed, and were stored away in se- cret place from which they were not produced when called for by order of the secretary of war
 Major Ray has been shown more personal consideration in assignment of stations than any other paymaste- in the army: has been stationed at Chicago during every presidential campaign since he has been in the service and was sent there last win ter by orders originating from the White House.
 "The committee believes that pub lie attention ought to be called to this case, because if one officer is allowed favors and immunity as a result of political service or influence, 1t must be pernicious example to all officers
 The committee states it's findings without intending disrespect to the president, and in the hope that he may see fit 10 make public such legislation of the circumstances set forth as will ! assure the country that the army is not being used for political purposes" !"

DISPOSE OF NEGRO QUESTION.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Milwaukee, Wis.-After the Amerf- can Bar Association had adopted . resolution presented by Jacob NJ. Dick. inson of Tennessee providing that here. after when negro is nominated for membership his race must be indicat. ed to the executive committee, the or. ganization was informed of the com. pletion of report to be presented to the annual convention denouncing as dangerous to the country" all move ments for the recall of judges or of judicial decisions.
 The report cites that in Ohio the constitutional convention declined to apply recall to the judges, but provid. ed that laws should be passed for prompt removal on complaint and hearing of judges for any misconduct involving moral turpitude. The report says this substantially is the system used in Massachusetts, New York ard several other states.
 Ten minutes was devoted to the set. tlement of the question whether negro lawyers should be admitted to mem- bership. MT. Dickinsons resolution, providing that hereafter, when a black is nominated for membership his race must be indicated to the executive committe, in effect bars negroes and merely allows the three elected by mistake to remain. It was not Wick. ersham victory, but compromise re. solution, agreed to by Southern mem. bers to avoid disrupting the associa. tion
