Gentry, of the general auditing com
mittee, and J. o. A. Bush. Lee Cazort
and Joe Joiner of the charity board
committee; and NJ. F. Dickinson, state
Huditor. Plaintiffs seek to enjoin
Thomas and Cress from continuing
the work of auditing the books of the
officers and departments.
The committee announced yester-
day that |. F. Thomas would today re-
sumo the work of auditing the books
of the auditors office, and that r. E.
Cress would return in few days. and
the work continue until the investiga-
ton is completed.
When notified of the Injunction suit,
Governor Hays remarked that it
made no difference, whatever the re-
suit may be, as Thomas and Cress are
not the only certified public account
ants.
Crcss and Thomas were at work on
the books from January q to March
81. at $40 day each. Leather &
company, in their complaint, allege
that Thomas and Cress were employed
by them, Thomas as manager, and
Cress as accountant, working out OF
the Memphis office. 1t is alleged that
they were under verbal contract to
receive a salary equal to Is per cent
of the collections made by plaintiff on
account of work done by them; that
they worked for Leathem & company
until the adjournment of the legisla-
ture March II, when. they resigned.

Mr.. Roosevelt Did Not Fancy Having
Hughes, Now Supreme Court Jus.
tice, as Governor, But Was Afraid
to Oppose His Nomination.
(By James j. Montague.)

Syracuse, n Y, April 26-In the
form of confidential letters to a boss,
the unpublished works of Theodore
Roosevelt arise to confound him on
this, the sixth day of the Barnes
Roosevelt libel suit. The letters, all
written to Plat, proved that Governor
Roosevelt, if at times rebellious, was
after all, well-disciplined political
soldier. =
They show that the colonel consult
ed Platt about all appointments, in
GLIDING those for the bench; that he
sent the boss a proof of his message
as governor, asking criticisms and
suggestions, and that he would not
even go on a stumping tour for the
national party or county fair with
out Platt's consent, and in those
troubled days when the energetic gov
ernor was deciding whether he could
afford to gather mould and cobwebs
in the vice presidency, Plat was the
man he consulted before making a
