The two-step king says that people will no longer go to concerts if they can have music in their own homes so easily and so cheaply as they can with the Phonograph. This is an unwilling tribute, but it is nevertheless a tribute. The man who has a Phonograph has a concert in his own house. Even a king could not have more. At our store you can hear them any time.

DICTATES STATEMENT TO PRESS Rr.ilway Magnate's Assertion That on. Chief Executive's Urging He Raised Fund to Save New York in 1904 Em phatically Denied at White House. Washington', April 3. President Ilooscvclt emphatically denied tho statements contained in a letter pur porting to have been written by 13. II. Harriman to Sidney Webster of New York, In the latter part of December, JlKKi. In Mr. Ilarrlmau's letter tho ttatement is made that at the request ot President Roosevelt he (Ilarrlinan) assisted In raising a fund of $.250,01)1) to bo used in carrying New York for the Republican party at the election of 1901. Tho statement the president characterizes as a "deliberate and willful untruth by right it should bo characterized by an even shorter and more ugly word. I never requested Mr. Ilarriman to raise a dollar for tho presidential campaign of I'J'M." Tho president's denial was con tained in u brief statement and cople? of letters written to Representative Sherman of New York. Tho letters me dated Oct. 8 and Oct. 12, 1UUU. Statement Dictated. The president, after furnishing tho letters to the press, dictated tho fol lowing statement: "After writing theso letters to Con gressman Sherman the president was nssuied that Mr. Hairiman had not made the statements which Mr. Sher man credited him with making. In asmuch as tho same statements ap pear, In the major part, In tho letter of Mr. Harriman, now published, tho president deems it proper that tho letters he sent Congressman Sherman last October shall now themselves bo made public." In the first letter referonco Is made to ii conversation between Mr. Ilarri man and Mr. Shorman, which was re peated to tho president, In which Mr. Ilarriman is bald to havo given as a ivofaou lor his personal dislike of the presh cut, partly tho hitter's determi nation to have tho railroads super ised and partly the alleged fact that alter promising Mr. Ilarriman to ap point Senator Depew ambassador to France, he, the president, failed to do it. It appears from the conversa tion repeated to the president that Mr. Sherman had gone to Mr. Ilarrl inan to ask hint for a contribution for the campaign. Harriman Asked Favor. The president says that Ilarriman also urged him to promise to make Mr. Depew ambassador because this would help Governor Odell by pleasing certain big financial Interests. The president said he Informed Mr. Har riman that he did l.ot bellevo it would bo possible to appoint Mr. Depew and furthermore expressed his surprise at his (ilarrimnn) sulng that the men representing tho financial Interests of New York wished the appointment made, Inasmuch as a number of them had written, asking that tho place bo given to Mr. Hyde. Mr. Harriman on learning Mr. Hyde was a candidate, hastily said that ho did not wish to be understood as antagonizing him. The president, it appears, was un willing to appoint either Depew or Hyde as ambassador, and f-'-o left un changed his recommendations to con gress concerning tho Interstate com merce law, notwithstanding sugges tions and criticisms by Mr. Harriman of tho president's course In that re gard, as expressed in certain letters which Mr. Harriman wrote to the president. "I feel particularly fortunate that I have beon attacked within the last lew days by both ox-Senator llurton and Mr. Harriman," said tho president in a conversation with representatives of the press, following the givjng out of tho letters to Representative Sher man regarding statements nuido in Mr. Ilarrlmau's letters to Mr. Webster. HARRIMAN JTANDS PAT 5 Gives Out Statement in Reply to President Roosevelt. New York, April 3. 13. II. Harriman gave out tho following statement in responso to tho statement made pub lic by President Roosevelt at Washington: "For many years I have maintained an intimate confidential correspond ence witli my friend. Mr. Sidney Webster. What 1 wrote him and what he wrote mo was, ol course, intended for our eyes alone. In the course of a letter which he wrote me in Decem ber, lOO.i, he warned me against being drawn Into politics, and questioned wlietlii'i I had any political or party instinct. This drew fioni me the re ply to Mr. Webster's inquiry, which, in a substantially correct form, has been stolen and published. This letter wns written on Jan. 2. Mint;, at a time when viio one could doubt tho cordiality of my relations with the president. "About ten days ago I was told that a discharged stenographer was trying to sell to some newspaper tn reproduction from his notes of one of my prhatu letters. I could hardly be lieve that any matter so obtained would be accepted or published, yet 1 Hindu every effort to prevent it. When I learned that a New York newspaper had a transcript of these notes, I notified the publisher at once of the lints, and tuged upon his at tention the gross outrage that tho publication of It under such circum stances would involve. Whilo deplor ing, of course, that the sacredness ol a privato correspondence should thus bo violated, 1 cannot withdraw any thing In tho letter. "I have read tho president's state ment. I am most anxious to treat him and I1I3 other utterances with consid eration due to tho high office which ho holds. Nevertheless 1 feel bound to call attention to certain things In regard to which he does mo injustice "The president dwells at length on tho assertion that ho did not ask me to contribute 'for the presidential cam paign' nor for 'bib personal benefit.' I don't deny this statement, nor Is it nt all consistent with the assertions I made in the Webster letter respect ing tho Interview. Therein I distinct ly said: 'The president sent me a re quest to go to Washington to confer upon the political conditions In New York state. I compiled and ho told mo ho understood the campaign could not bo successfully carried on without sufficient money and asked If I would holp them in raising the necessary funds, as tho national committee, un der Chairman Cortelyou, had utterly failed of obtaining them and there iofslMl . a . , ries, St and i 5 ? in every style.
