JONES TRUST FOE,
WILSON VOUCHES
Confirmation on Reserve
Board Urged as Personal
Choice of President.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, June 20.-Presldent Wilson
in a letter TO Senator owen, chairman OF
the Banking and Currency Committee,
made a special plea for the confirmation
Of Thomas d. Jones, of Chicago, his per-
sonal choice for the Federal Reserve
Board. In his communication. which was
circulated among members Of the COM
mittee to-day, the President absolves Mr.
Jones from all suspicion of wrongdoing
because of his connection with the Har-
vester Trust.
Despite the Presidents assurances there
Is disposition among members OF the
committee TO scrutinize Mr. Jones rec
ord, and there are outcroppings Of oppo-
sltion TO the Presidents other appointees
to the Reserve Board. 1t is possible that
fight may be made when the nomina-
tons como before the Senate for con-
sideration. The Presidents letter to Sena-
tor owen. dated at the White House on
June IS, follows:
MY Dear Senator: am afraid that Mr.
Thomas ID. Jones is the man about whom
the committee will have the least infor-
nation, and / venture to write you this
letter to tell you what know, and fortu-
nately can say that do really know it,
Il have been associated with Mr.. Jones
in various ways for more than fifteen
years, and have seen him tried by fire in
causes which were like the very causes
we are fighting for now. He has always
stood for the rights OF the people against
the rights Of privilege, and he has won a
place of esteem and confidence by his
quiet power and unquestionable integrity
in the city of Chicago which l think is
very enviable indeed.
His connection with the Harvester
company is this: He owns one share, and
only one share, OF stock in the company.
which he purchased to qualify as di-
rector. He went into the board OF the
Harvester company for the purpose OF as
sisting TO withdraw II from the control

tees which have brought 1t under the
criticism of the law officers of the gov

that capacity. His connection with those
acts and practices is absolutely nil. His

a private interest, and he has won addi-
tlonal credit and admiration for his cour-
age IN that matter.
HE is a lawyer by profession, but he
has devoted his attention to special
aspects OF the law and has been very
little in the courts. believe. My close
association with him was in the board OF
trustees of Princeton University, where
he stood by me with wonderful address
and courage in trying to bring the uni
versity to true standards Of democracy
by which it would serve no special classes
but the general body OF our youth.
He was graduated from Princeton Uni
versity in 1876. He is OF Welsh extraction,
possibly of Welsh birth, though l am not
certain on that point, and is man
whom can absolutely guarantee in every
respect TO the committee. He is the one
man OF the whole number who was in a
peculiar sense my personal choice"

Business Depression and
Tammany Rule to Lose
Democrats Votes.
ODELL SEES FUSION
NEEDED FOR SUCCESS
Westminster Leaders Expect Root
To Be Candidate-Whitman
Support Strong.

Newburgh,, June GA political sur
vey Of the Hudson River district. be-
tween New York City and this place, in
dlcates the situation to be more COM
pick than most people have supposed, 1t
being possible to obtain nearly as many
different opinions as interviews. on
one point. however. most men seem 70
be agreed. and that is that this Is to
be a Republican year, and that only
serious mistakes on the part Of the
Republican leaders can prevent the
election of any Republican state ticket
that is nominated.
The disaffection OF Democrats from
their party is reported pronounced all
along the Hudson River district, be-
cause of dissatisfaction with the present
national administration and the Tam
manyized Democratic administration of
state affairs. The business depression,
through which many men are out OF
employment or working on short time,
hits hundreds OF men In their tenderest
spot, and all reports are that II will
lose the Democrats many votes this
fall.
Nothing seems to have turned more
honest Democrats from the fold than
has Glynn's appointment of a warden
for Sing Sing prison last week. This
is particularly true I'm Westchester
County, where Mccormick is best
known. and where his appointment is
taken to mean only that Governor Glynn
has helped Tammany to refasten It's
hold on the great prison, where the in
dependent Clancy refused to permit the
tiger to rule.
ITO my way of thinking" said former
Governor BENJAMIN B. Odell, "Republi-
can success this fall will depend on
two things: First. the continuance
throughout the fall Of the business de-
preston that every one attributes to the
Democratic administration, and, second.
the attitude Of tho former Independent
Republicans, many of whom went over
to the Progressives two years ago. The
votes of many of them are needed to
insure Republican success this fall, and
II is folly to talk otherwise. l do not
mean that / am in favor Of turning the
Republican party over TO Mr.. Roose-
welt; but 1 for one will welcome any
arrangement whereby the Republicans
and Progressives can De reunited in the
support of good ticket. L have no
choice of candidates, and either Mr..
Whitman, If reunited party will sup
port him, or former Senator Human, Of
Binghamton. would be perfectly agree
able to me. 1 had looked on Mr.. Whit
man as the most likely candidate. al
though IL would now seem as If It
would be possible more easily to re-
unite the forces behind Mr.. Human as
the candidate for Governor"
In this part OF the state, particularly
in Westchester County. the opinion
seems to prevail among Republicans
that Senator Root will be nominated

PLOT TO DYNAMITE
PANAMA CANAL
Theft of Explosive and
Capture of Thieves
Revealed.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Philadelphia, June l0.-The theft OF
2 900 pounds of dynamite at Gatun, 18th
mus Of Panama, and an attempt to blow
up the spillway locks at that point a
few weeks ago are revealed in a letter
received to-day by George Nil, Of this
city, who was formerly employed on the
governmental canal operation, from
Nathan Gilbert, a foreman in charge of
the electrical installation at Gatun. De-
tails Of the attempted destruction Of the
locks so far have been suppressed by
the government.
Mr.. Gilberts letter bore the date May
q, and the writer evidently supposed
that the Gatun incident. including the ar
rest of the suspected dynamiters, had
been published and that Mil had read
about it.
81 suppose you have heard of the rob-
berry of 1900 pounds of dynamite" writes
Gilbert, Colonel Goethals came down
from headquarters at Ancon in his yell
low special train at 2 in the morning. 1t
caused a big stir here, but the Panama
police captured the thieves and recovered
nearly all the dynamite.
II must confess that l was scared be-
cause I did not know that at any minute
we all might be blown to atoms. felt
relieved when they caught the thieves
and recovered the stuff. Gatun is un-
der martial law now"
Mr. Nil declared that the destruction
of even one of the locks of the Gatun
spillway would constitute a breach that
would allow a rush of impounded water
almost certain to sweep away the I'm
mensely thick concrete retaining breast

SEES REPUBLICANS
In TAMMANY PLOT
Representative Anthony Says
New York Upstate Organiza-
ton Works with Tiger.
tFrom The Tribune Bureau.1

Washington, June 20.-In the course OF
debate in the House to-day over an
item in the sundry civil bill. Represent
alive Anthony, of Kansas, intimated that
there was an improper relation between
Tammany Hall and the upstate Repub-
lican organization in New York. The use
of oil instead of coal as fuel in the
Leavenworth Soldiers Home, in Mr.. An
thongs district, was the point in question.
Mr.. Anthony's charge Of a connection
between the Republican organization and
Tammany Hall came through the intro
duction Of the name Of James w. Wads-
worth in the discussion. Mr.. Wadsworth,
chairman of the board of National Sol
oil at Leavenworth.
1.-THE head OF the Soldiers Home
board" said Mr.. Anthony, happens to
be a mainstay of the upstate Republi-
can organization in New York and Mr.
Fitzgerald is a member of Tammany,
and in pursuance of the time-honored re-
lations that obtained between these two
machines the two gentlemen got to-
gether on this proposition"
II am not a member of Tammany
Hail." retorted Mr.. Fitzgerald. with
some heat. Il have never been a men,
Der of Tammany Hall. l have been
thrown out of Tammany meetings be-
cause / was not a member of that organ
ization. am not eligible to member
ship in Tammany. The trouble is that
the gentleman from Kansas wants the
worth Soldiers Home because one of his
relatives, a dealer in the product, would
profit by the. transaction"
Mr. Anthony attacked the administra-
ton of soldiers homes. charging that
the inmates were fed on rations made
un in part of unWholesome foods.
