White House Cliarge That Harriman Told a Deliberate Untruth Does Not Hold Water-The Correspond? ence Produced. New York, April 2.-E. H. Harri? man, late tonight, gave out the fol? lowing statement in response to the statement made public by President Roosevelt at Washington today: "For many years I have maintain? ed an intimate, confidential corres? pondence with my friend, Mr. Sydney Webster. What I wrote him and what he wrote was, of course, intend? ed for our eyes alone. In the course of a letter which he wrote me in De cember, 1905, he warned me againsc being drawn into politics and ques? tioned whether I had any political or party instinct united to what he was pleased to call my business in? stinct. This drew from me the reply to Mr. Webster's inquiry, which in a substantially correct form has been stolen and published. This letter was written on Jan. 2, 1906, at a time when no one could doubt the cordial? ity of my relations with the / presi? dent. Work of Discharged Stenographer. "About ten days ago I was told that a discharged stenographer was trying to sell to some newspaper a repro? duction from his notes of one of my private letters. I could hardly be? lieve that any matters so important would be accepted or published, yet I made every effort to prevent it. When I learned _late yesterday after? noon that a New York newspaper had a transcript of these notes, I no? tified the publisher at once of the facts and urged upon his attention the gross outrage that the publication of it under such circumstances would involve. While deploring, of course, that the sacredness of a private cor? respondence should thus be violated, I can not withdraw anything in the letter. "I have read the president's state? ment. I am most anxious to treat him and his other utterances with consideration due to the high office which he holds; nevertheless, I feel bound to call attention to certain things in regard to which he does me injustice. Not of Harriman's Seeking. "In his letter to Mr. Sherman he clearly seeks to convey the impres? sion that the personal interview with him in the fall of 1904 was of my seeking and not his. He says: " 'His (Harriman-s; and my letters now before me. in the fall of 1904, run as follows: "On his return home from spending tho summer in Europe, on September 20, he wrote me stating that if I thought it desirable he would come to see me at any time, then or later. (He had been, as you remember, a delegate to the Republican national convention having voted for my nomination .)'' On Sept. 23 I ans? wered his letter, saying: "At present time there is -nothing for me to see you about, though there were one or two points in my letter of acceptance which I would like to have 'discussed with you before putting it out." "Let me present the facts: "On June 29, 1G04. the president wrote me the following letter, which he does not include in the corres? pondence published today. It reach? ed me in Europe. White House. Washington, June 29, 1904. (Personal.) My Dear Mr. Harriman: I thank ypu for your letter. As soon as you come home. I shall want; to see you. The fight will doubtless be hot then. It has been a real pleasure to see you this year. Yours very truly. Theodore Roosevelt-. "In reply to this I wrote on my re? turn from Europe the letter of Sept. 20, the opening sentences of which j he eliminated in his publication: New York, Sept. 20.1 904. j Dear Mr. President: I was very glad to receive your note of june 29, j last, while I was in Europe. I am ? ed during, my absence somewhat ed during ? my absence smoewhat : I cleared up and if you think it desir j able will go to see you at any time, e'ther now or later. It seems to me j that the situation could not be in better shape. Yours sincerely, K. H. Harriman. "Then followed a series of invita? tions from the White House, both from the president ami his secretary, urging me to . '? to Wahsington. On Oct. 10, the president wrote: " Tn view <>f the trouble over the State ticket in New York". I should much like to have a few words wi h you. Do you think you can set down here within a few days and take either lunch or dinner with me?' "On Oct. 14 he wrote: "'My Dear Mr. Harriman: A sug? gestion has come to me m a round about way that you do not think it j wise to come to sec me in these clos? ing weeks of the campaign, but that you are reluctant to refuse, inasmuch as I have asked you.' "A funeral in my family prevented a prompt response to the president's repeated invitation, but finally about i Oct. 20 I was able to go to Washing? ton and see him. "There is some difference of recol? lection as to what transpired at that interview. "Fortunately, the president himself in his 'stricly personal' letter to me of Xov. 30 throws some light on what did take place. He says: " 'If you remember, when you were down here both you and I were so in? terested in certain of the New York political developments that I hardly, if at all, touched on governmental matters.' "Again in the same letter hes ays: " 'As a matter of fact, as you will remember, when you did come down gaged to see me, you and I were both so engaged in the New York political situation that we talked of little eise.' "The invitation of Oct. 10 bade me to the White House to have a few words with the president, 'in view of the crouble over the State ticket in Xew York.' I had replied on Oct. 12: 'I am giving a very large part of my time to correcting the trouble here, and intend to do so if any effort on my part can accomplish it. I will take occasion the first of next week to run down to see you, and I think by that time the conditions wil be very much improved.' "Whether I was seeking his aid to secure the adherence of the State of Xew York to the State ticket or he was seeking mine is proved or dis? proved by this correspondence, and I cheerfully submit to the public whether the inference clearly sug? gested by the president is the proper one. I did not so understand it from the invitation, nor from the inter? view. 1 "The president dwells at length on the assertion that he did not ask me to contribute 'for the presidential campaign' nor for his 'personal bene? fit.'. I do not, deny this statement nor is it at all inconsistent with the assertions I made in the Webst?r let? ter respecting the interview. Therein I distinctly said: 'The president sent me a request to go to Washington to confer upon the political conditions in Xew York State. I complied, and he told me he understood the cam? paign could not be successfully car? ried on without sufficient moneys and asked if I would help them in raising the necessary funds, as the national committee under Chairman Cortelyou had utterly failed of obtaining them and there was a large amount due from them to the Xew York State committee.' "If that means anything whatever it must be that he was urging me to help the Xew York State committee, and not the national committee in the presidential campaign, except so far as the success of the State ticket in Xew York \ould contribute to thc national ticket. "That I did help in this regard, that I did raise funds immediately upon my return from the interview with the presiden', is undeniable and to this fund I contributed $50,000. "I am not responsible for what Mr. Sherman may have said to the presi? dent with reference to the conversa? tion he had with me. All that I have to say is that I did meet his urgent requests that I contribute to his :am paign fund, and that the statements alleged to have been attributed to me by him were false. The president was assured of this fact by a mutual friend who was present at the inter? view/' .What is it that tastes as pleasant as maple sugar and quickly relieves coughs and colds'" Mothers who have used it will quic???y answer: "Ken? nedy's Laxative Cough Syrup."

Smith, forman of Singletary' sawmill, situ? ated abouc six miles from this city, was killed yesterday by a negro named Tom Lloyd. It seems that the negro, who was slow in going to work, was reprimanded by Mr. Smith and without any warning turn? ed, seized a cantwheel, an implement used for turning logs, and dealt Mr. Smith a death blow over the head. The skull was crushed and M.. Smith died two hours later. The negro dis? appeared into the woods and the sheriff and a few others are now in pursuit. Mr. Smith was from Robe? son county, North Carolina, and was held in high esteem. *Mrs. S. L. Bowen, of Wayne, W.
