Vardaman Says He Intended

“I Would Dislike to Hold the
Devil Responsible For This
Distinguished Incident,”
He Concludes.
"oiiirto^irilyTEFripoii that there
were several cases of the disease
there. He was told that If there were
any cases the number was small, and
the patients had been isolated. He
will make a further attempt today to
learn the truth.
'While It is not probable that an
epidemic has started," said Dr. Spald-
ing, “since smallpox Is not contagious
except from close contact when the
thermometer is over 65 degrees, Chi-
cago cannot afford to run any risks. If
necessary, an official of the health de-
partment will visit the city, and If
many cases are found the state health
department will be called upon to reg-
ulate the matter and see that all ex-
posed persons are vaccinated.”
Members of the Waukegan board of
health visited Zion City during the day
and returned without learning of tho
conditions. As a result Mayor Pearce
of Waukegan called on Secretary Egan
of the state board of health to inves-
tigate.
REPLY TO A LETTER
Washington, D. C., Aug. 15—Anoth-
er chapter and probably the final one,
so far as the government Is concerned,
was added today to the case growing
out of the refusal of the postofflee de-
partment to name a Mississippi post-
office after Governor Vardaman of
that state, by promulgation by Post
master General Payne of a statement
which gave, Without comment, a lette
from Governor Vardaman, published
in the Charleston, S. C., News and
Courier.
This letter, which is accepted by tin
postofflee department as confirming
the authenticity of Governor Varda-
man's editorial remarks about the
mother of President Roosevelt, is giv
en in a newspaper publication as fol
lows:
“Anderson, August 8th, (Special)—
Several days ago the editor of the An-
derson Dally Mall, wrote to Governor
J. K. Vardaman of Mississippi, and
asked him about the truth of the as
sertlon made by Postmaster General
Payne that Governor Vardaman had
while editor of a newspaper In Mis-
sissippi some years ago, published an
editorial malting a disrespectful al
lusion to Mrs. Roosevelt, mother ol
the president. The following letter
has been received in reply:
“ ‘Executive department, Jackson,
Miss., Aug. 6th—My Dear Sir—
Vour very kind favor of the fourth In
stant, has been received. If I had a
copy of the Commonwealth you de-
sire, I would take gi'eat pleasure in
sending It to you, but the files of the
old paper are a hundred miles away
There was nothing in that editorial
offensive to Mrs. Roosevelt or that re-
flected upon her in the least. V sim-
ply undertook, upon scientific grounds
an explanation of Teddy's degeneracy
and general cussedness, without hold
Ing his ancestors responsible for it. I
thought I owed it to his ancestors.
Really, I should be ashamed to charge
the devil himself with the responsihil
Ity of the infamy of that distinguished
incident.
"Sincerely and cordially,
"J. K. VARDAMAN."

New York, Aug. 15—Former Secre-

Lewiston, Idaho, Aug. 15.—The con-
sideration of the Mormon question is
tonight blocking the proceedings of
the democratic state convention,
which met here today. United States
Senator Dubois proposed a radical
anti-Mormon resolution. His resolu-
tion has been softened to denouncing
polygamy and the mixing of church
and state and promising to favor leg-
islation to carry into effect these
views. The prospect now is that this
resolution will be defeated and the na-
tional democratic plank he simply re-
affirmed. Should the Dubois resolu-
tion fail, as is anticipated, It is con-
sidered likely that ex-Senator Henry
Heitfeld of Lewiston, who today was
regarded as almost certain to be
nominated for the governorship, will
withdraw in favor of Major James
Hawley of Boise, though ex-Governor
Frank Steunenberg is now being vig-
orously upheld for the candidacy by
the members of all factions.

Liao Vang. Aug. 15.—The Japanese
are preparing to make an attack.
They made reconnaissances to ascer-
tain the strength of the Russians at
Anshanshan.
The Japanese are eight mites to the
southward of Anshanshan and thenro
hold a lino southeast, Including the
valley of Sldahi. whence their line
runs northeast to Holongow, which is
occupied by a largo force. Further
north tliel routposts are some miles
from LandlatiKan.
Opposite Anplng tho Japanese oc-
cupy Goutayatszl. On the Taltzi river
the Japanese outposts occupy Daodln-
shau, whence the Japanese tried to
ford to Bensihu, which is defended by
the Russians.
The road thence stands towards the
Yantai mines and the railroad nofth
of Lia<? Yang.
The Japanese also occupy Tziant-
chan. opposite Daplndoushan. on the
Samatzi road, over the Tainin pass
and through Slntezlntin to Mukden.
There are constant reports that the
Japanese are moving large forces on
the railroad to Slnmlntln and that
they are bringing up pontoons to cross
the Liao river, thus threatening the
Mukden and Liao Yang railroad.
From this it is easy to perceive ttiat
(he Russians’ strategical position iH
very good. They occupy, with Liao
Yang as the center, a fortified semi-
circle. The works can he concentrated

The Japanese, on the other hand, are
outside and therefore must disperse.
The Japanese are ever showing a de-
sire to close the circle from the north,
simultaneously moving from the west
and east toward Yantai. Mukden and
Ta Pass. Under the present circum-
stances it is believed that this task Is
beyond their strength, at least until
