Bruce Refuses to Withdraw Statement
On Hoover

any withdrawal, in the face of denials.

ing said he had taken drinks with Her.

From his home in TruXton, Md, this
morning, Senator Bruce told The Star
he was making no retraction, but would
issue tonight formal and complete
statement" in view of denials of the
charges by Darrow and Mr.. Hoover's
secretary, George Akerson. Until then.
l VIII say nothing more" he added
In previous explanation to the press,
Senat1r Bruce had said he did not make
the charges himself. but was quoting
newspaper story published some time
ago. In which Darrow. noted criminal
lawyer OF Chicago. had been quoted as
saying hI had had the pleasure of TAX
ing drinks with Mr.. Hoover in Wash
ington. At the same time, Senator
Bruce refused to say anything about the
statement made in his address. in which
he said that Senator Curtis, Republican
vice presidential candidate, had had a
liquor bottle in his pocket at the PiIn-
lico race track. Curtis has made no
comment on this statement.
Whether Senator Bruce would reply
to a charge made by Galen L. TAFT,
chairman Of the Republican State CEN
tral committee, that he had started a
whispering" campaign against the Re-
publican nominees, was not indicated by
him today. Admittedly, the Maryland
Senator was reluctant to discuss the sit
uation and intended to devote the bet
ter part Of the day in preparing his
formal reply to the denials which his
statement had drawn
Mr.. Tait'S statement. in part, follows:
Senator Bruce at Westminster made
the statement that Mr. Hoover had q
drink with Mr.. Darrow. This in itself
is no great crime or moral wrong. It
Just happens, however, that Senator
Bruce uses it as slander against Mr..
Hoover in the implication of insincerity.
1t happens also that this story was put
afloat many months ago and that 1t has
been denied by Mr. Darrow. 1t has not
been necessary for Mr.. Hoover to deny 1t,
because all his friends know that he is a
teetotaler.
II do know that Senator Bruce, al.
though they we're Of opposite political
parties, has broken bread at Mr.. Hoo
ver'S table on the basis that Senator
Bruce was Southern gentleman. I
believe that in view of all of the facts
Senator Bruce should make complete
public withdrawal and apologize for his
statement The Senator has put him.

campaign even more vicious
than that so strenuously objected to by

ROB ROY, PRESIDENTS FAVORITE
PET DOG, DIES AT WALTER REED
Mr.. Coolidge Deeply Touched
at Loss OF His Constant
Companion.
White House Collie SucCumbs
to Stomach ALL
ment.

President Coolidge has lost a real
friend-one whose devotion was un-
bounded and whose faithfulness was
unquestionable.
Rob Roy. his white collie, is dead.
Mr.. Coolidge was deeply touched when
he received word of Rob Roy's death
from the Walter Reed Hospital, where
this pet had been sent for treatment
Rob Roy-the President called him
Robert--had not been well since, re-
turning to Washington from Cedar
Island Lodge. Becoming worried about
his condition early last week, the Presi-
dent sent him to the hospital, where
specialists might treat him. 1t was
found that the dog had developed ulcers
of the stomach and failed to respond to
the treatment given him.
Presidents Favorite Pet.
OF all the animals that have been
included in the household of the White
House since Mr.. Coolidge has been
President, this collie was his fayorite.
He made no attempt to conceal his
preference The other dogs and ami
mails of the so-called White House
menagerie and kennels were just dogs
and pets, so far as he was concerned
But Rob Roy was different
Rob Roy always accompanied him on
his walks about the rear grounds of
the White House and frequently went
with him to the executive Office and re-
manned with him during his hours of
labor. It was a familiar sight to see
the dog nestled proudly against the
Presidents leg while the latter sat read
ing or bending over papers on his desk
It was Rob Roy's habit to closely scru-
tinize each person not known to him
who entered the presence of his master
Often he barked at a caller. It didn't
make any difference to Rob Roy wheth-
er the caller was cabinet member or
an Ambassador. But he would quiet
down when the President spoke to him.
On Mayfiower Trips.
Mr. Coolidge seldom went for week
end cruise aboard the yacht Mayflower
without taking Rob Roy along, and he
was the Presidents shadow at the
White House. Even during the White
House meals Rob Roy was generally
near the chair of his master, and he
