Letter to President Wilson.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 2.---Pin-
dell in his letter to the President
stated that although the senate has
Investigated the accusation in con-
nection with his appointment he
felt that no controversy should sur
round the appointment of any am
bassador. The President in letter
of regret accepted Pindells resigna-
tion.
Pindells nomination was for a
period of but year to fill out the
uneXpired term of Curtis Guild, late
Russian ambassador. This fact was
brought in the controversy over the
genuinity of the letters alleged TO
have been sent from U. S. Senator j.
Ham Lewis to Pindell, advising the
latter that he would have practically
nothing to do in his short term but
bear the title of ambassador. These
letters were pronounced forgeries
but the fact that PindeIl's appoint
mont was strictly on the pie or
der and that no treaty work would
be entrusted to him, was not denied.

every one in this community. think

praise you enough, nor reward you

reward you at the last great day, in
which justice shall be done, as you,
in your honest heart, would have it
done here. Then woe unto those
who are trifing with law and justice.
They too, shall have their reward.
