National committee, passed through
Kansas City today euroute to Chi
cago, where he wiil confer with Hry
an and the lVintHTuth- leaders re
garding the charges made against
him by President lioosevelt and W. li.
Hearst. Asked as to the report that
he Intended to resign the treasurer
ship of the national committee he
said:
"There is absolutely nothing in
it. of course, I will admit that re
cent developments necessitated a lit
tle haste in my going to Chha.no, but
resignation is out of the qr.- stiou. It
is simply the Kepublican pivss that is
roaring, and well they might when
they hold a special cabinet session at
the White House about nie."

ward U Onpenheim, (he New York
banker, that he occupied a box with

hat every time Hryan was attacked

Bopfnn. M.133., Sept. 25. One hun

ciiy of Huston today came into pos
session of a handsome bequest left
by that far-sighted statesman-phil

the city of his birth. After the lapse
of more than a century, during
whic.i time the modest bequest of
Franklin had grown to large pro
portions the Franklin Union has
utK'ome an accomplished fact. The
handsome building erected at the
corner of Herkeley and Appletou

the donor, was dedtcated this after

Secretary Garfield has taken the mat
ter in hand with the Prairie Oil Com
pany. He ought to know the matter
very well, for I took occasion to call
him down last summer when he tried
to give the oil company special priv
ileges in laying an interstate gas
line. It is getting to be an edifying
example when the president mixes in
personalities. Karly in the summer
we were to have a ladlike cam
paign. The president is the biggest
four-flusher in the political business
toilay. You ought to hear what they
think of the rascal down in Oklahoma."
