CONTRARY TO SENSATIONAL STATEMENTS OF TILLMAN, ATTORNEY GENERAL IS WITH ROOSEVELT.

Publishers' Fresn Washington, May 14. President Roosevelt tonight made reply to the recent charge of Senator Tillman In .he Senate forum that he had surreptitiously betrayed the minority senators In their negotiations with him on the railway rate bift and his compromise with tho "railroad senators" at a time when victory for tha friends of rate legislation was at hand. . Tho reply la In tha form of a letter to Senator Allison, of Iowa, accompanied by a carefully prepared statement from Attorney-General Moody. Moody With Roosevelt. The latter gives his version of the conference with Senators Tillman and Bailey in an entirely different light than so sensationaly portrayed by Mr. Tillman and the Democratic leader, Mr. Bailey, and strikes at the heart of tho charges by saying: "There was nothing in the conversation between the senators (Tillman and Bailey) and me which In any way . bound you (the president) to any particular amendment, or In the slightest degreo Impaired your liberty at any time to acquiesce to any amendment wheh you should deem expedient and In the public interest." The president denies that the conferences with Senator Tillman were on his initiative. , "I was staked to see ex-Senator Chandler uh tho representative of Mr. Tillman," he writes'who, ho declares stated the views of Mr. Tillman, seemingly with Ki.tuotity." Ignores Denunciation. He ignore entirely the alleged denunciation of Senators Spooner Foraker and Knox, which Mr. Chandler explained was tho reason assigned by the president for wanting to consult with tho democrats, and ' rich the president has already publlcy char acterized, through Senator Lodge, as a " deliberate falsehood." On the question of tho alleged betrayal tho president writes: "I Anally became convinced that It was impossible for senators with advantage to use mo as the Intermediary in coming to an agiVnient with their colleagues, especially when they only communicated with mo through "Hhothor intermediary." It la understood that Senator Allison will try to have tho correspondence read in tho senate tomorrow. Senator Tillman, who claims to have some material in reserve, has tleclared that ho will provo the president "a traitor." Roosevelt's Conclusion. In concluding his letter to Allison the President said: "To almost every amendment proposed by anyone, I found that there were excellent men who objected, or who at least wished to change It, and I finally became convinced that it was impossible for Senators with anvantage to use me as the intermediary in coming to an agreement with .their colleagues, especially whoa the only communicated with me through another Intermediary, and I earnestly suggested to all to whom I spoke that they should communicate with you, whose purpose and mine were identical. About this time I was informed by various Democratic senators that they could not come to an agreement upon any amendment, and that the best chance for success lay in passing the Hepburn bill substantially unchanged. I was Informed and believed that this was Senator Bailey's view; and a number of the Republican senators who favored the bill expressed the same opinion. Visit of Senator Cullom. "Shortly after this you, in company with Senator Cullom. called upon me with the amendment which is (Continued on Page Three.)

Carl Schurz, publicist and former Cabinet member, died at his home in this city at 4:23 o'clock this morning.

Publishers' Pressl New Haven, Conn., May 14. Yale has closed spring football practice with her annual punting contest, which was won by F. E. Wernecken, '07. P. L. Vceder, '07, was second, and Howard Roorae, '07, the allAmerican half-back of last year, got third place. For two reasons the sprins practice was longer and harder than In other years. First and foremost, the new rules require a thorough drill in the rudiments so as to wipe out the habits cf the old game and start the new one on clean ground. Secondly, the new eligibility rule barring freshmen from the 'varsity requires that the material at hand be early developed. Scrimmages have been of daily occurence, something unheard of in previous Yale spring practice. What the men have learned so far of the new game has not met with their universal approval, but playing among themselves is a different matter from opposing a fast team of another college. Long passes and end runs behind interferences of half a dozen men have been the most important plays. The squad will return early in September and start work for the fall campaign. About thirty men have been in practice for the past three weeks. The practice has all been done behind closed gates, the first time in the history of spring football work at Yale.

IN CITY IS III GREAT DISORDER Adherents of Rival Leaders Fight Over Merits of Dowie and Vcliva. DOWIE AND WIFE FIGHT MRS. DOWIE WANTS TO GET ONE THIRD OF ESTATE AND TRIES TO MAKE HUSBAND ARRANGE WILL ACCORDINGLY. Publishers' Tress Chicago, May 14. Riots broke forth in Zion City today following the disorder which atended Dowie's effort to address his followers in Shiloh Tabernacle yesterday. Crowds numbering hundreds gathered in Shiloh boulevard near the general store this afternoon and engaged in a furious argument over the respective merits of their leaders and the questions at issue in the struggle of Dowie and Voliva for supremacy. One Dowieite was handled roughly by the mob and serious consequences were only averted by the arrival of the Zion police in answer to a riot call. Jame3 Slater, a colored adherent of the "first apostle," was escorted to safety by the police after being mobbed for his sturdy defense of Dowie. F. H. Hrown, who is to have threaten F. II. II row n, who is said to have threatened the colored man with violence, was held by the police but later released. Reserve Police Are Called. The crowd assembled again after the departure of the police and another riot call was sent in which brought out all the tefcerves of the statin?. The mob was forced off the street corners and ordered to disperse. The police are apprehensive of further trouble and have called in all the patrolmen from outlying points for possible emergency duty. Slater is said to have started the trouble by exploiting the virtues of Dowie to a crowd near the general store. He was Interrupted by loud cries of "Dowie has all of my money; Dowie is a robber." "Why doesn't he pay his debts." The colored man became frightened and ran. He was overtaken by the mob and in turn rescued by the police. Mrs. Dowie Fights Husband. Mrs. Dowie in an attempt to force her husband to change his will so as to leave her one-third of the property is said to have used force with him. His personal colored attendants separated the "apostle" and his beligerent spouse. This was told by a former maid of Mrs. Dowie. The Straw Hat? It is time to wear the straw hat? That question is bothering the male residents of Richmond not a little Just now, when the mercury climbs to the vicinity of S5-and rests for three or four hours during the middle of each day. Each person decides this question for himself, as there is no law in regard to it.

MAGNIFICENT AUDIENCE IS ENRAPTURED WITH MUSICALE CHURCH RULES BROKEN AND APPLAUSE FREELY GIVEN. Last evening the Reid Memorial church held another overflow audience which was present to hear the recital given by W. H. Donley cf Indianapolis, who designed the wonderful organ, and Mrs. Carolyn S. Ilaynes of Cincinnati, who possesses one of the greatest soprano voices in the country. The crowd began to arrive at an early hour and by 7:30 o'clock the auditorium and balcony of the church was filled to capacity and chairs were placed in the aisles. Even then it was necessary for hundreds of people to stand in the entrance and the hallways, while many stooa on the sidewalks or sat on the curbstones. People in vehicles of various descriptions nearly formed a blockade on Eleventh street and on A street. Dedicatory Words. The program for the evening was opened by a lew remarks from the Rev. S. R. Lyons, in which he formally dedicated the organ to the memc of Mrs. Clarissa Reid. The musical program which followed was a musical treat in every sense of the word. Mr. Donley is without doubt the most accomplished organist in the West and. ranks with the best in the East. Through his masterly playing the mammoth instrument, which is unique' in its model and designed especially by Mr. Donley, was shown off to its best advantage. The tones are as clear as a bell, graduating from the splendid deep, strident tones to the soft flute-like notes. Praise for the Organ. At the close of the recital Mr. Donley was overwhemed with congratulations, but he modestly refused to take any credit for the triumph to himself, crediting it all to the organ. "It is without doubt the finest instrument I ever played on," he remarked to Miss Laura Gaston, the well known local musician. "There are its equals in New York and Boston, but nothing ike it in Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago or Denver." It is an accepted, but unwritten rule that, there shall be no applause within a church, but this code of church etiquette was completely shattered last evening. The first three numbers palyed by Mr. Donley were received without loud applause, the audience showing its peasure by a low hum of conversation. However, at the conlclusion of the first selection sung by Mrs. Haynes, "Summer," by Chaminade, the enthusiasm of the big crow d could no longer be contained and the church fairly rang with applause. After this every numbar was encored to the echo, Mr. Donley and Mrs. Haynes responding gracefully each time. Mrs. Haynes had two numbers on the program, "Summer," by Chaminnde and "I'm Now Titania," by Thomas. She responded to both on enthusiastic demands by her audience. As an encore to her last number she sang "Mighty Like a Rosa," Nevin's beautiful little negro lullaby, w c1; was like a fairy tone poem. Mrs. Haynes possesses a wonderfully sweet, clear and high soprano voice, which is the equal of the best ever heard in Richmond. Despite the fact that the program rendered by Mr. Donley included selections by some of the world's greatest ms'rians, perhaps the air that pleasr "o best was the ever beautiful ballad, "Suawnee River," . .. ... is. jiuyed with variations. Mr. l-'oniey wil give another recital ths evening at the church and it is expect ed that the big buildng will again be filled to capacity. FOUND BODY OF GAP0N Police Find What They Say is -Proof of Death of Russian Revolutionist Publishers' Pressl St. Petersburg, May 14. The mystery of the fate of Father Gapon apparently was cleared up yesterday by the discovery of a corpse which was almost positively identified by the police as that of the former priest hanging in the upper chamber of a lonely villa in the summer suburb of Unerki, Finland. The villa was rented April IS, for the summer, and a deposit paid by an unknown man from St. Petersburg, who, after visiting the house several times in. company with a young workman, disappeared April 11, taking the key with him. The proprietress of the villa, alarmed at the nonappearance of the tenant, notified the police who entered the house. Don the White Caps. The employes of the , Pennsylvania Lines West of Pittsburg have cast aside their winter uniform caps and Sunday commenced the wearing of the white capspsed during the spring and summer. 7

A FORMER RICHMOND MAN NOW LIVING IN HOUSE OF SHEET IRON RAIN PROOF AND DISEASE PROOF. Byron Hasty, a former Richmond man, who now is in San Francisco, and who witnessed the scenes incident to the great earthquake and fire, has written a second interesting letter to his mother in Richmond. In part the letter says: "I am well and fat; 'expect to get a job soon, cleaning brick,- shoveling or something else perhaps, but the money that is coming seems to be tied up in the banks more or less. I waited for th?m to blast and tear down the high walls, for there is nothing in being a "dead hero." There are plenty of "strow" contractors that have no money and try to hire men for "nothing" and never expect to pay that much. I have bought some coffee, the ratons of that issue don't suit me. There has been so much stolen that onehalf of the clothing and food never reached the people that need it. "The Military authorities have taken complete charge of everything now and I think every one will fare better. "I thought sure that the building that we were in was going head long in the street but it did not. We had a "16x20" picture hanging on the wall and it turned the man's face to the wall. "I had another room on Fulsom street, where I stored the most of my posessions most of my clothing, all of my good books, album, pictures, tools, etc., all gone. I could not get them for the fire and so I went the other way with my 162 pounds of anatomy. Sounds funny now but if you could have seen Frisco then, well it looked worse than Dante's Inferno, and then some. "As to work. In the course of time skilled mechanics will be in demand but I think there is enough common laborers and more than enough skilled men at present. Those that want to I come had better wan some time Defore they leave their jobs. "We are not going hungry but we hear all kinds of reports. My plans are live today and die tomorrow. "My partner got a new comfort and we borrowed a good spring matress, and built up a house of sheet Iron, lumber and a big carpet, but if you think we allow any one to walk on our "Brussels" you are off. It is on the roof. It is time for the rainy season to be over, but any way our -house is rain proof, earthquake proof, chloride of lime in the door way so disease proof also." . -

TO WAS VERY ROCKY Three Couples at Clerk's Office Have Trouble in Getting Licenses. ALL SUCCEED HOWEVER TO MAKE CERTAIN THERE WOULD BE NO SUCH TROUBLE IN GETTING MARRIED, ONE COUPLE WEDDED ON THE SPOT. Cupid was busy yesterday, but the course of true love was not smooth in every instance, and the three marriage licenses that were Issued at the office of the County Clerk were only given out after much worry and anxiety on the part of those who received them. The first applicant was an old man, over 60 years old, who said that he wanted a license for himself and the woman he wanted to marry. He did not have a witness to identify him or did not have his bride's sig nature. He went out to supply him' self with these. Before he returned, a younger cou pie came in and requested a license There was no one there to vouch for the facts set forth in the applica tion. They spent several hours searching for someone who knew them both and could testify that their ages were as they had been given, and also to other facts. Just before the first couple came in a young woman leading a seventeen year old boy by the hand came into the clerk's office and applied for a license for herself and her prospective husband, the young man she had In tow, to wed. He did not have moth er's consent and had to be sent home to Cambridge City 'after It. His bride-to-be waited until he came back and they came and secured their li cense. Judge Abbott, happening to be in the court house, was summoned and in order that there be no further time before they were made as one, he was pressed into service and the words repeated that made the bride and groom husband and wife. For one day, it appeared as if Cupid was leading his devotees a rather fast and tedious pace, but love conquered in each case. Halpenny Will Sneak. Palladium Special.! Liberty, Ind., May 14.

SHORTAGE AT FIRST NATIONAL BANK DISCOVERED LAST DE. CEMBER, BUT JUST MADE PUB-LIS-A STATEMENT. Though the officials of the bank have been aware of the fact for more than four months, publicity was not given until yesterday that Charles R. DuHadway for thirty years or more an attache of the First National-' bank and for several years its cash ier, had appropriated to his own use. funds to the extent of $16,500. It was because of the fact that tha shortage, discovered last December, had been immediately made good, the bank being reimbursed every penny, and the additional fact that the bank's officers had no desire to bring about criminal prosecution, that the matter had not gained 'pub llcity. Statement Issued. Yesterday it became generaly known that the federal grand jury which adjourned at Indianapolis last week had in all probability returned an indictment against Mr. DuHadway, whose whereabouts at present is unknown, it Is asserted, by family ori friends. Various stories were Bet afloat and the directors of the First National bank issued the following statement: To the Public. In view of the circulation of 'exager ated reports concerning an unfortunate circumstance connected with the business of the First National Bank, some of which reports we regret seeni to be circulated with a purpose to injure the bank, the officers deem it proper to make to the public a full and true statement of all the facts however we wish to Bay and to have understood that because of our consideration of the feelings of the family of the former cashier, who alone is responsible for the shortage as explained hereinafter, and whose written confession we have and the further fact that every dollar of the shortage was made good to the bank by actual payment thereof to the bank, promptly, without hesitation and before the bank was again opened for business after the discovery, wo have had no disposition to advise or Institute any prosecution. If there shall be any prosecution it will be because the United Statea officers deem it their duty and not because of any action on our part. We wish it understood dFstlnctly that there was no tampering with the books of the bank, no falsifying of any book or entry In its account but, tho shortage discovered and repaid in vol v-' ed only the lifting of cash held as re serve. The following is a true and full statement of the facts. On the evening of Saturday December 23rd, last,! it was discovered that there was ai shortage of Sixteen thousand five hundred dollors ($16,500) in the cash of the bank.
