APPROVAL GIVEN BY MR. TAFT
Indorses Denial of Charges That President's
Relative and C. P. Taft
Profited by Canal Purchase?Denies
American Citizens "Grafted.'*
Washington, D. C. ? President
Roosevelt has reopened the Ananias
Club list to let in two editors. Incidentally
he has taken a slap at cue
Vice-President over the shoulder of
one of them. UnderaHotSpringsdate
a characteristic Roosevelt letter addressed
to William Dudley Foulke, of
Indiana, was made "public. The letter
v bristles with the short and the ugliest
- kind of words, all applied to Delavan
.Smith, an Indiana politician and publisher
of the Indianapolis News, and
William M. Laffan. who conducts and
controls the New York Sun.
Mr. Roosevelt, in denouncing the
charges, uses the following:
it a t t VU ?
AUOII1 lUttuic xaiocuvuu.
"Slander."
"Mr. Delavan Smith (editor of the
Indianapolis News) is a conspicuous,
offender agdinst the laws of honesty
and truthfulness."
"Mr. Smith lied."
"He occupies the same evil eminence
with such men as Mr. Laffan, 'of
the New York Sun."
Mr. Smith's offending was the publication
of an editorial in his paper
on the Panama Canal charges. These
charges, which figured somewhat in
the campaign, connected Douglas
Robinson, brother-in-law of President
Roosevelt, and Charles P. Taft with <
an alleged deal in the purchase of
the canal from the French company.
These relatives of the President
and President-elect were asserted to
"have been members of a syndicate
engineered by William Nelson Crom.well
for the purchase of the stock of
the French Panama Company from
the French stockholders when it was
certain that .the United States would
buy this stock. The French stockholders
were supposed to have sold
out at a low figure.
Foulke, former Civil Service. Commissioner,
brought the Indianapolis
News paragrpah to the President's attention.
What lies behind .this In
fact is this wrath of the ""President,
the President-elect and their friends
at the fit of sulks displayed by VicePresident
Fairbanks and hii Indiana
crowd after the Chicago Convention.
Mr. Smith is a cousin of Mr. Fairbanks,
and the latter is frequently
charged with : having an interest in
the Indianapolis News.
This paper, in supporting Mr. Fairhanks
for the Presidential nomination,
hammered Judge Taft very hard
indeed. After the Chicago Convention
the News bolted Mr. Taft, al- >
chough it did not formally declare for
Mr. Bryan. Indiana, it will be remembered,
was held a very doubtful
State, and the steady campaign attacks
on Mr. T&ft by the News worried
the Republican leaders greatly.
The President seized the occasion
offered him by Mr. Foulke io get
even.
As for the New York Sun, it has
caused Mr. Roosevelt to rage about
once in twenty-four hours for the full
L seven years of his term. His conf
nection of Mr. Laffan with the Smith
affair is merely an attempt to kill
two birds with one rhetorical brick.

tired), died at the home of Charles

Coghlan had caught a severe cold at
the Army-Navy football game on Saturday,
November 28, which aggravated
a minor illness from which he
suffered since his retirement from

conspicuous part he took in the battle
of Manila Bay, jusa after the outbreak
of the Spanish-American War, on May
1, 1898.- At a banquet after the war
he recited the ,4Hoch der Kaiser"
verses, which made him still more famous.
He was born at Frankfort,
. Ky., December 9, 1844. At the age
of sirteen he received an appointment
% to the Naval Academy from Illinois,
and was there when the Civil War
broke out. ^

of Christ a report on "Family Life," cc

of the Episcopal diocese of Albany, in ol
which were exploited the evils pre- cc
vailing against the hearthstone. ci
"Family life," wrote the Bishop, si
"is threatened, first, by the lowered pi

secondly, by the prevalence of di- ai
