ROOSEVELT IGNORES
ATTACK BY DU BO|S
Wilson Is Responsible for Pro.
posed Colombian Payment,
Colonel Declares,

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 2-Dismfss-
ing in thirteen words the charges made
by James T. Du Bois, formerly minister
to Colombia, regarding the part played
by the United States in the Panama
revolution, Colonel Roosevelt launched
into an attack on the Wilson Admins
tration and the proposal in the new
treaty to pay Colombia Sc. .0oo, 900 indem-
nifty. He also took a fling at the Ad-
ministration's Mexican policy.
In a statement issued at Sycamore
Hill. the Colonel said:
Il have rothing to say about Mr.. Du
Bois. He is merely an instrument. Mr..
Wilson is responsible for the proposed
payment OF the blacknail to Colombia.
Whether he does It on his own initiative
or on the i1stigation Of Mr.. Bryan Is
wholly uninportant, and it is of infinite
ly less Importance what particular sub
ordinate was chosen to carry through
the discreditable transaction or to apollo
gize for ii in the public press.
Neither Mr.. Wilson nor Mr.. BRYAN
can answer my statement. The pay
ment, IL made, will be a naked pay
ment Of belated blackmafl. and the
mere proposal to make it is an outrage
on the honor and a blow to the inter
cSS VI the ahltIlCdn people. Inere Is
small wonder that hundreds Of Amerf-
cans in Mexico have been endeavoring
to become British, German or French
subjects in order to get some protec-
tion from some government"
Colonel Roosevelt had not read the
Du Bois statement until the newspapers
were shown to him by Frank Harper,
his secretary. He dictated his state
ment to Mr.. Harper at once, but en-
tirely ignored the accusations made by
the Taft minister to Colombia

and promoting him from vice consul
to consul "fcr meritorious service"
Direct communication between Presi-
dent Wilson and General Carranza will
be established Immediately. Mr.. SILL
man goes as the personal representative
OF President Wilson.
For the last fortnight Silliman has
held daily conferences with President
Wilson, and with the agents of the CON-
stitutionalists, here. And he is about
the only individual living who most
nearly knows President wilson's inner
most mind on the Mexican subject Sill
liman was a class mate of the Presi-
dent at Princeton, and there is q very
close bond of sympathy between them.
Members OF the constitutionalist Junta
marked time today. Informal meetings
were held between Cabrera. Iubaran.
and Judge Douglas. Carranza's attor-
ney. Up to noon there had been no
word from General Carranza.
Further evidences of the strained re-
lations between Carranza and Villa
were indicated by the attitude Of the
constitutionalist representatives here.
who were incensed over statements by
Felix Sommerfeld, Villas personal rep
resentative. Somerfeld left last night
for New York ostensibly to watch the
developments in the Mexican railway
situation. II is understood that Som
aerfeld will also confer tomorrow at
New York with the Huertista delegates
when the latter arrive from Niagara
Falls.
Zubaran said he did not expect to
confer with Ambassador Mon until
next week.
At constitutionalist headquarters it
was intImated that New York city
might be chosen for conference, IL any
are held, between the Huertista and
Carranzista representatives TO discuss
the provisional government and internal
questions of Mexico.

JONES MUST TELL OF
HARVESTER DEALING
Senate Banking Committee Dis
regards Desires Of Wilson
as to Nominee.

As the result of q sharp discussion
in the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee. over the qualifications OF
Thomas D. Jones, Of Chicago, Tor
member of the Federal Reserve Board,
1t has been decided to have Jones
come before the committee next Mon
day and explain his relations to the
International Harvester Company.
The action of the committee is the
more interesting because President
Wilson appointed Jones for personal
reasons and did not want him called
before the committee. But so much
question has been raised about his
membership on the harvester board
that the majority Of the committee
felt It necessary to summon him. The
indications are that the fight against
his confirmation will be serious.
The committee took no action on
Paul NJ. warburg and it is possible he
will be asked to appear. The obJec-
tons raised to him include. the one
that he has been connected with Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. q New York banking
house with large foreign interests. and
that to put him on the board would
be bringing the Federal reserve sys-
tenn into too close touch with Euro
pean finance.

Sad to relate. the evil condition Of
the water still prevails. The mud Is
thick and gummy, giving a cafe au
lait' tinge to the water, which pre-
cludes the possibility OF any sort Of
fair catch. The old fishermen along
the river hold out little hope for a
speedy clearing, the most optimistic
declaring that possibly the Potomac
! may be clearing somewhat by Mon
oay-n 1t does not rain in the mean
time.
1t is not cnly the local rains which
darken the waters. Far up in Vir-
ginia, in the Shenandoah Valley, q
rainfall washes the red clay of Vir-
ginla into the usually limpid stream
and by the time local discolorations
have passed Washington, the mud
from upstream comes pouring down,
ing for a few more days.
Despite the muddy water, there were
several fishermen working along the
wall of Potomac Park yesterday. but
no bass were reported as taken. The
only success attending member Of
superannuated colored man who was
patiently and painstakingiy angling
for catfish. Muddy waters seem to
make no difference to this member OF
the finny tribe. for he permits moth
ing to interfere with his several square
meals a day. Uncle" had a respec-
table string Of "kitties" to show for
his labors, and between bites spent his
time judiciously in drawing on an evil
looking old corncob pipe and ruminat-
ing on concrete matters, with the
philosophy of his years.
There exists a distinct prejudice on
the part of many persons against the
cat. "Unclean, unciean," has been the
cry, aided by the plants and scorn of
the saltwater fisherman, to whom q
catfish Is merely something to be re-
moved from the hook with care and
loathingly cast back into the water
from which he came. Yet the Potomac
catfish Is no less clean than its higher
classified fellows. The meat Is firm and
sweet and, properly cooked, is hard
to surpass in flavor.
Harris Dickson. creator of "Old Re
liable" has immortalized the delicious
ness Of fried catfish with his stories

Vicksburg. The tale Is human, and
the picture Is truly drawn. To any
one who has actually seen the tray,
