HE WANTS TO REPLY.
Lewis Cass Iedyard Seeks to Answer
Mellen Before the 1. c. G.

Washington, May 26.-Lewis Cass
Ledyard made q statement today say
ing he wanted to deny much Of the
testimony Of Mr.. Mellen and protest
ing against the hearing being closed
without his testimony being taken.
He read a letter of May 23f to Com
missioner McChord in which he said:
''The testimony of Mr.. Mellen is at
variance with my recollection in a
number Of particulars, and I think a
very partial and inaccurate impress
sion of the affairs of the company
would be given unless other witnesses,
having knowledge of the matters I'M
der inquiry, are afforded an oppor-
tunity to state with the same freedom
that he has done, their knowledge of
the same matters concerning which
he has testified. My understanding is
that the resolution under which you
are proceeding expressly calls for a
thorough investigation into the at
fairs Of the railway company"
Mr.. Ledyard was handed reply to
his letter written by Mr.. McChord.
under todays date saying in part:
ut is quite true that you were
served with a subpoena some weeks
ago and the intention at that time
was to place you upon the stand to be
examined concerning your knowledge
of the matters being inquired into.
Since then, however, developments
have been such that the commission
has deemed it advisable to withdraw
the subpoena heretofore served upon
you and you may take this letter as
cancellation of the subpoena, so that
you are relieved of all compulsion as
to being a witness in this matter.
Should you desire to appear voluntar
lily. waving all immunity by the tes-
timony you may give, you may so ad
wise the commission and the question
of your being a witness will then be
determined"
Mr.. Ledyard, after reading the let
ter. announced he would accept the
suggestion that he be a voluntary
witness and would inform the COM
mission to that effect in writing after
returning to his office in New York.
He asked that he be notified when he
could testify.

WADDELL won IT.
IL Son Of Man BristOw Opposed Tor
Cottonwood Falls Postmaster.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, May 26.-
After United States Senator Joseph l..
Bristow had held up the appointment
Of w. A. Waddell as postmaster or
Cottonwood Falls and succeeded In
securing the withdrawal of the man.
name from the senate, the town has
elected Waddelrs son as postmaster
when the matter was referred to a
vote of the patrons Of the office: In
a three cornered fight, J. H. Waddell,
the son, was elected by an almost two
to one vote and it is probable that the
Junior Waddell will now receive the
appointment.
This is the home of Congressman
Dudley Doollttle and when he recon-
mended the appointment of Waddell
as postmaster, the mans name was
promptly sent to the senate for con-
firmatior. Senator Bristow held up
the confirmation on a fraud charge
based on some alleged Irregularities
when Waddell was county clerk of
Chase county. No hearing was ever
held on the evidence which Senator
Bristow claimed to possess. When
Congressman Doolittle announced that
he would base his appointment on the
result of a special election, WaddelPs
nomination was Withdrawn.

since they assumed control in the strike
districts of the Colorado coal fields the
United States troops were fired on last

The shots were fired at a patrol from
a hillside overlooking the camp after q
trooper, who had lodged missile thrown
at him through a window, answered a
shot fired at him from the darkness.

Stoves and Ranges

If there is any likelihood present or prospective,
of your buying Cook Stove Range, would re
specially urge consideration of the merits of
the Universal line of Stoves of which we have the
agency in this city. Time tried and tested, these
stoves have never been found wanting in all any
of those particulars which of the greatest impor
lance the construction of the perfect and fawess
Cook Stoves and which abundantly meet all exac-
tons put on them.
To buy unknown brands of Stoves made of pot
metal and careless construction for few dollars
less is in estimation wilful waste of money,
when proved and tried stoves can be purchased for
comparatively little price,

With practically all of Europe
plunged in war, with the world s
commerce and finance paralized,
with domestic situation exist
ing in consequence which re-
qulres the utmost concentration
of the reserve wealth, resources
and energies Of the United States
the fullsigniiicance of President
Wilson's success IN avoiding a
war with Mexico is now appar-
ent.
Throughout the country, in
dependent though comedies that
the nation is under an obligation
to the President so immeas

II, the United States were en-
gagged in a bloody and costly war
below the Rio Grand, could the
Crisis of the past few days have
been met without crash of
credits which would have set the
nation back twenty-five years.
If this country were at war
would It now be possible, as has
been done, to proffer American

Europe in maelstrom of devas-

The answer is Obvious and is
being echoed in the press from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
President Wilson's GOODNESS,
courage, forebearancc and fore
sight have saved his country
from an evil day. He made it
feasible to bring to bear the en-
tire power of the Government,
as well as the concentrated DOW.
er of commerce and finance, to

He made it possible to work out

Likewise, the additional all
