Hamlin Makes Graft
Charge Against the
Department of State
WASHINGTON, Aug. lS.-Charges of
loose and dangerous practices In the
State department's " expenditure of its
secret emergency fund were renewed In
ah informal report today by Representa
tive Hamlin of Missouri, chairman of the
house committee, which Investigated
what Is termed "the astounding condition
of affairs In the department." The in
vestigation will go over' until next
winter.
Mr. . Hamlin reiterated that Secretary
Knox had used a negro messenger from
his department as a valet on his recent
Central American trip; that a picture of
former Secretary Day, now a justice of
the supreme court, had been paid tor by
a misappropriation for which the com
mittee had recommended the dismissal of
William H- Michael, then chief of the
department, but now consul at Calcutta.
"The president seems to have taken no
action," was the comment as to Mr.
Michael's case.
The report says the committee discov
ered 1732,000 spent from appropriations of
only 1575,000, and that other money was
improperly used to make up the deficit.
The '-informal report will be the only
action of the committee at this session, '

May Try Short Cut,
EL PASO, Tex., Aug. 11 An Invasion
of American soil by Mexican rebel troops
Is feared by' United States army officer
and it has been learned on reltabla au
thority that this has led to the rushing
here of additional cavalry from Fort Sam
Houston.
The point considered In danger Is an
the New Mexican boundary just west of
Columbus, N. M., opposite to which town
more than 1,000 rebels are located.
At a point 100 miles west of SI Paoo the
New Mexican line bounding on old Max
lco turns abruptly to the south for,t,hlrty
miles and there resumes a course du
west. It Is thla short cut ' across !au"
that It is feared the rebels at palomai
will employ In making the retreat Into
Bonora coincident with Oroxco's evacua
tion of Juarex.
Federals are guarding the passes along
the border to the west and by cutting
across this slice of New Mexico, a ranch
and mining country sparsely Inhabited,
the rebels could evade the federal forces
and enter Sonora without danger of an
engagement. " The three troop of tho
third cavalry due here tomorrow morning
are-expected to1 be rushed to Columbus,
where four troops or tne Third cavalry
art stationed.

this time to reuiike one set of bosses by
voting for the candidate of the other set
of bosses is from Its very nature bound
to result In. mere futility.
"The differences between the men who
really dominate the two parties are
merely the differences between great cor

the people as masters over both. To try
to punish one set of de'enierg of political

is to play into the hands of both. We

WASHINGTON, Aug. M. - President
Taft today made his first political speech
since the one he made when notified of
nil renomlnatlon. Addressing members of
the Maryland Republican Editorial asso
clatlon In the east' room of the White
House, he ' declared bluntly that presi
dential ' electors were dishonest men ' If
they let their , names appear' on the re
publican ballot, and Intended , to vote for
the candidate of another . party. . He as
serted that those' who were not for the
republican party , were against ' it and
should get out of the way.
"All we ask Is a fair fight. A man can
not be in the republican party and la a
third party at the same time and should
be compelled to make his selection," sid
the president. - . .
"Regularity or feeling ,of .regularity
and respect for the republican party, for
what t has done, ;what It is capable of
doing, are going to bring over many a
man who hss been doubtful and increase
that number as we approach the election.
It la therefore essential that we make
the cleavae as clear as It can be made,
so that those who are republicans shall
be republicans and those who are with
the bolters shall bear . their name and
title and not be republicans and bolters,
because they cannot be, at least they
ought not to be, In all fairness."
