Instead of sending to the Chicago convention delegates that represent the sentiment of the people, these republicans who are complaining claim that two Taft men were elected and that this was brought about by federal officeholders and patronage. The men who were elected bv the convention are I. M. Keeklns, assistant United States dis trict , attorney, and Wheeler Martin, collector of Internal revenue, both fed . cm l offlueholders. The Roosevelt boys are hot In the collar over t'..- .tuatlon and declare that they were taken advantage of by the officeholders. They are also hot against the former Roosevelt ad vocates, who went against thomi In their effort to Instruct the delegates. It Is said thnt Joseph M.

April 2 Senator John Sharp Williams was yesterday the storm center of clerical criticism be cause of his recitation In the senate hist Thursday of a parody on the Apostle's Creed, purporting to state political beliefs of s Theodore noose velt. ! Rev. C. Ernest Smith, rector of St Tliuniari Episcopal church, denounced Senator Williams' utterance as "a blasphemous travesty on those doc trines of the church for which In past centuries thousands and tens of thou ' sands have cheerfully given up their lives. , The pulpit of the Protestant Kplacnpat church would be untrue to Its traditions should It allow swb. an utterance to go unheeded." In an open letter to Senator Wil liams Rev. Henry I.

He iirms Senator Williams to "get on vmir knees (mil link Clod to blot out the great tin of your II pi."

The committee Intends to go Into !he ques- on thoroughly with a viw to fram- ng legislation governing the operation of the wireless on vessels entering or leaving American ports. Testimony already given discloses that wireless operators are underpaid and working long hours. f.ndeavoring to further repudiate Intimations that he sought to suppress or delay news of the Tltanlc's sinking uglielmo Marconi, wireless telegraph inventor appeared before the senate committee for the third time.

Washington, April 29. President Taft before leaving the White House esterday for his return to Massachu setts, Issued a personal statement enying that he, while secretary of ar, hud at a cabinet meeting ap proved Mr. Roosevelt a decision not to Immediately prosecute the Inter national Harvester company. President Taft's statement says he ever heard the International Har- ester company discussed at any cab net meeting and that the records of he war department will show that e was out of the country when the incident referred to by the colonel oecurredc Prcsident Taft'i statement was in part aa follows: "Mr. Roosevelt, In his speech at Worcester, as reported by the public press, referring to the harvester trust suit said: " 'As a matter of fact, Mr. Taft was member of my cabinet when this Identical case was fully discussed be ore the cabinet, and he cordially ap proved the action taken; and, Indeed a matter of fact, my memory Is that he himself made the motion that there should be no prosecution of the harvester trust pending the investlga tion into the trust by the bureau of Corporations. T, R.'s Memory Faulty. Mr. ttoosevell s memory Is very much at fault I am authorized to ay by Mr. Root and Secretary Wil ion, both of whom were members of the cabinet at that time, that they have no recollection whatever of ever hearing the prosecution of the har vester matter discussed in the cabi net And Mr. Ropt is very certain that he never saw or heard of Mr. Herbert Knox Smith's letter to Mr. Roosevelt under date of September 31, 1907. on the subject. ' I have a letter from Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of the bureau of corporations, written at my request, In which he uses the following lan guage: 'On November 7, 1907, which date I fix from my personal Hairy, I tele nhoned Mr. Perkins at the president's order that the president took the view that the bureau's Investigation' should eome before the suit.' . , This Indicates with certainty the time when the matter was decided md shows that If the matter did come before the cabinet at all It must t.ve been after September 24 and on or efore , November 7, 1907, a period when I wai out of the country and "ould not have. been present, and cer. t;ilnly could not have made a motion or suggestion In the cabinet that no suit be nrosecuted nntll after the In vestigation." ...

Speaking In the Arena before a tumultous throng, the former president again criticised Mr. Taft. He, however, did not repeat the severe denunciation which marked his speech at Worces ter. He spoke calmly, and devoted only a small part of his address to President Taft "I do not wish this to be a campaign of personalities between Mr. Taft and myself," said Colonel Roosevelt & ttiii iiiuio luiiuuniD man ..... aa.

SUIT COMING DECIDE TO A MASS To Discuss Voting Tax for Uniform Public Schools . in the County. A special meeting of the board of education of the county was held this morning at 11 o'clock In the office of Supt A. C. Reynolds, at which time tentative report was submitted for consideration concerning the voting of a special school tax by the people of the county, accompanied by state ments of the receipts and disburse ments of the present school year, from Uuly 1, 1911, to April 1, 19l2, and for a period covering the past six years, showing all receipts and dis bursements, amounts paid for build ings and list of teachers receiving $50 and upward per month, which Is in answer to a request made for such a statement sometime ago. When the report which was laid before the board this morning Is ac cepted by the board It will be pub lished so that the people of the coun ty may have time to consider whether or not they wish to vote a special tax of 30 cents on the $100 of property and 90 cents on theoH. The re port will also be submitted to a mans meeting which is to be held In the court house on the morning of May 9 at 11 o'clock ' which will be held for the purpose of determining wheth er or not the people want this uni form tax for the entire county. Superintendent of Public Instruc tion J. Y. Joyner will be present at this mass meeing to expound the ad vantages -of such a uniform tax and there will also be a number of other speakers for the occasion and the board desires that as many as pos sible attend. It Is the especial desire that ladles also attend since they are as much as or more Interested .In educational questions than -the men. The report sets forth that at the beginning of the" present aohool year there was a debt against the school fund and that this debt has been paid in great part but that In order to do this It has been necessary to cut down the per capita apportionment from about $2.25 to $2 and also lessen the school term. The fund has been further depleted. It Is pointed out, on account of the fact that $1068.34 had from the Grace district because the election for a special tax there failed to stand, this amount having been advanced from the general fund. There are at present 28 districts In the county that have, In addition to the amount provided by the general state law of 20 cents on every $100 of property and $1.50 on the polls, this special tax as before mentioned, and 82 districts that have only the general tax fund. A statement will accompany the report showing the the comparative standing of tnese different districts and the comparison will prove most Interesting. SuDt. Reynolds has prepared a statement as near as possible the ap proximate estimate of what all the districts would get for their school funds under the uniform special tax system but this does not Include es timates for new buildings, which the report says could be provided for all the districts by a ten years' loan. It is pointed out In the report that the school system for Buncombe coun ty Is rather expensive Blnce the area covered la large and a great part of it sparsely settled, but that the returns for this expenditure Is large as com pared with that In other counties. It Is pointed out In the report that the school system for Buncombe county is rather expensive since the area covered Is large and a great pari of It sparsely settled but the returns for this expenditure Is large as com- oared with that in other countries. The present school system, me re port says, Is far from perfect dui that nothing better could be under. taken than the bettering of conditions so far as possible. The statement is made that the time has arrived when this special tax must be voted or the present system will go back rather than advance. It ls.therefore strongly urged that the people of the county vote this special uniform tax for the entire county. . .. The Importance of educating the children of all classes Is emphasised and the point urged upon the people that they should give the matter oi the special tax their undivided atten tion.
