: WASHINGTON, May lis Senator
James E. MARITIME a persona, non
grata at the White House? That is
the question that is being asked about
the capital these days. For the third
TIRE within month he has assaiied
~ administratie;. The third as,
sault was made yesterday during his
talk on the Colorado mine situation.
Some senator interjected the state
msnt that the President had ordered
troops sent to the scene of the mining
trouble, A ~ ,-A
eyes. understand that is true"
said the senior senator from New
Jersey. and he followed that up by
saying "But it was tardy, tardy to
the point of sluggishness
His Democratic colleagues looked
at him in amazement. as he uttered
this near blasphemy, but the senator
wore an air of II don't care, and
went on with his speech.
Secret Service Men Miss Him.
Time was not long since when no
day seemed complete to the secretary
and secret service men who occupy
the outer offices of the President OF
the United States, that did not bring
with it the portly form and smiling
countenanee of Senator James f..
MARITIME. About a month ago 1t was
noted that Senator MARITIME had not
been making his White House calls
with his accustomed regularity. one
of the secret service men solicitously
manfred of one of the newspaper cor
respondents if Senator MARITIME was
sick, or had gone away from wash
ington. When informed that the sem
ator was still in town he expressed
surprise.
DAYS and weeks have elapsed since
then but Senator MARITIME has not
resumed his daily calls, and this fact
having gone forth has brought out
the query, SIS he a persona non
grata?"
The failure to pay his accustomed
calls began about the time the Presl-
dent made his appearance before the
Congress to appeal for the repeal of
the Panama tolls. 1t was noted at
that historic session of the Congress
that the senior senator from New Jer-
sey did not go into raptures when the
President appeared on the rostrum.
True he did applaud in a perfunctory
Way when the President first APP
peared. but he did not join in the APP
plause after when the other Demo-
Gratis were exceedingly enthusiastic.
1t was further noted tnat on tne iaSL
appearance of the President before
the Congress with his Mexican mes
sage that Senator MARITIME sat along
side his new fides achates. Senator
O'Gorman, and did not make even an
attempt to applaud the head of the
nation before or after he had deliv-
cred his address
Always Praised Wilson.
These things have caused much
speculation, for it was known that
Senator MARITIME proclaimed in sea-
son and out that Woodrow Wilson
was the biggest, greatest, grandest,
ETC.. man, only the senator used ad-
lectives of a more sesquipedalian
seniority and length.
The fact that Senator Marines
candidate for the collectorship of
Newark has not been appointed, and
the intimation that a candidate to be
named by Senator Hughes will in all
probability get the job, may explain
some thinks. But Senator Martini
asserts that he holds no i'll feeling to-
wards the President. The President
took occasion not long since in speak
ing with some visitors. who We're par
ticular friends of Senator MARITIME, to
say that he was an honest man whose
integrity no one could impugn. Mean
time Senator MARITIME does not visit
fhe White House.
