the patient studies embodied in the valuable little book -written by ComradeO H Oldroyd who has devoted hislife to collecting relics of Lincoln andis now the owner of the Lincoln collection in Washington displayed in thebouse where the President died andwho has made a special study of Lincolns assassination and his assassinCamera in hand he left what wasFords Theater at the time of

and Mrs Grant Earlier in theday President Lincoln had said toSpeaker Colfax who was about to makea trip to the mining regions of theWestI want you to take a message fromme to the miners whom you visit Ihave ery large Ideas of the mineralwealth of our Nation I believe itpractically inexhaustible It exists allover the Western country from theRocky Mountains to the Pacific andits development has scarcely commenced During the war when wewere adding a couple of millions ofdollars every day to our National debtI did not care about encouraging theincrease in the volume of our preciousmetal We had the country to savefirst But now that the rebellion laoverthrown and we know pretty nearlythe amount of our National debt theJribre gold and silver we mine makestho payment of that debt ao much thethe miners from me that I shall promote their interests to the umosi ofmy ability because their prosperity isthe prosperity of the Nation and weshall prove in a ery few years thatwe are Indeed the treasury of theworldIn the evening Mr Cofax returnedand he and the President were stillengaged in conversation when at 8oclock Mrs Lincoln entered the roomand reminded the President that it wastime for them to start for the JheaterWith a parting injunction to theSpeaker as to giving the miners his mess agethe President followed -Mrs -Lincolninto their carriage and was driven tothe house of ocnator Harris wherethey picked up MaJ Rathbone andMiss Harris They reached the theaterat 830 As the Chief Executive entered the brilliantly lighted auditoriumthe entire audience rose to their feetwith enthusiastic cheers to which thePresident responded by a bow fromthe flag festooned box which had beenassigned himFords TheaterFords Theater then the best InWashington would make a very shabby appearance among the magnificenttemples devoted to the drama to dayIt was as nlaln a structure as bricksmortar and shingles could make it andits exterior could not have been lesspretentious had

Fordan enterprising theatrical manager Hadbought it and converted it into a playhouse Mr Harry C Ford had decorated and furnished the Presidentsbox He draped flags over the sides ofthe box and hung one of fine silk fromthe center The ordinary chairs wereremoved and their places taken by asofa some high backed chairs and arocking chair This latter was placednearest the audience for the use of theTHE REAR DOOR THRU WHICHBOOTH ESCAPED FROM THETHEATERPresident In this work Mr Ford wasassisted by Edward Spangler thedrunken man-of-all-work and Boothstool It Is believed that Spangler boreda hole in the door of the box thruwhich one could peep and see the President and that he also loosened thescrews of the locks on the doors of theboxes so that they could be quicklypushed open The box was usually adouble one but on this occasion thepartition separating the two had beentaken out to make it a single box andi jWASHINGTON D C THURSDAY DECESIBEIl 23 1909this made two doors opening Into itOn ordinary occasions these werelocked after the President entered thebox but on this evening for some unexplained reason neither wasAt 1130 in the morning Booth hadcome to the theater to get his mallread his letters and learned ofthe Presidents intention to be at theplay in the evening Booth probablydecided then upon the execution of hisdesign and spent the rest of tho hoursin gathering his accomplices aboutFORDS THEATER WHERE LINCOLN WAS ASSASSINATEDhim instructing them in their partsand preparing the theater for his ownshare He went to a livery stable andengaged a saddle horse which he putIn a stable In the rear of tho theaterHe was seen at various times duringthe day and at 1010 p m he entereda saloon and called for a glass orbrandy After drinking this he wentto the theater spoke to the doorkeeperas he passed in and ascended to thedress circle which was on the samelevel as the Presidents box He movedquietly and without attracting attention stopping occasionally to take alook at the stage The play had progressed to the closing of the secondscene in the third act and all eyeswere fixed upon the actors HarryHawk as Asa Trenchard the Yankeecousin was having an angry parleywith Mrs Mountchesington to whomhe had replied Society eh WellI guess I know enough to turn you inside out old woman you darned oldsockdologing man trap As he repeated these wcrds he looked up at thePresident while the audience shookwith laughter It was then Just 20minutes past 10 oclock Booth hadstealthily entered the box without being hoticed by those occupying it sointent were they upon the stage Coming close behind the unsuspecting President he nred his heavy Derringer directly Into the back of his head MrsLincoln was the first to notice -this andscreamed loudly MaJ Rathbone sprangup and grappled Booth who brokeloose from him and in doing so stabbedhim with a bowle knife which he heldin his hand He had dropped the Derringer on the floor Rathbone rushedat Booth again but the avsassin eludedhim and sprang out of the box to thestage nine feet below In his descenthis spur caught in the silk nag andturned him so that he did not landsquarely but broke the fibula of hisleft leg There Is as Comrade Oldroydpoints out a great discrepancy as tothe time of Booths shouting Sic semper tyrannis etc Some witnesses saythat he did it as he reached the stageothers that he shouted it from the boxTHE HOUSE WHERE LINCOLNDIEDand Booth himself In his diary saysthat he exclaimed it before he firedthe shot which we all know to bo untrue As soon as he could straightenup Booth rushed behind the scenesdown the stairs to the alley whereBurroughs the boy who sold peanutsabout the theater was holding hisnorse lie was so excited that as hotook the bridle he knocked the boydown with a blow of his knife cursinghim as he did so He sprang upon thehorse and galloped away like mad thrutho eastern part of the city over thebridge across the Anacostla and outInto Maryland to Mrs Surratts Tavernand Dr Mudds houseThe Wild EcltcnientWhen the fatal shot was fired few inthe audienco noticed it and those whodid thought it was part of tho playSeveral men near the stage howeverrealized that something serious hadhappened and sprang on the stngo tocatch Booth It was here that EdwardSpangler failed In his part Ho wasfamiliar with tho gas llghtlng whichwas worked as Is usual in theaters bylevers in a box near the prompterSpangler had intended to turn all thelights out the minute Booth had committed his crime so as to enable himto escape In darkness This was unconsciously prevented by the leader ofthe orchestra coming up to talk to theprompter and taking his seat on thebox The Intricacies of the sceneryand the stage appliances in the rearwere sufficiently confusing to the excited men who- attempted to followBooth to stop any- pursuit which wouldhave been useless anyway as Boothwas then far out of reach gallopingfuriously in making his escapeAs soon as it was realized that thoPresident was shot there came a callfor a surgeon and Dr Charles Taft aregimental Surgeon and wearing hisfull uniform made his way to thestage and was lifted by men into thePresidents box A hasty examinationof the wound made Surg Taft orderContinued on page sixHOLIDAY SEASON AT WASHINGTONA Fortnight of Vacation for Congress Politics and BusinessNevertheless Claims Attention The Supreme Court

Yorkand to New Haven of a few days agowere followed by the death of hisbrothers wife Mrs Horace B TaftThis necessitated another Visit to NewEngland that he might attend the funeral at Watertown Conn t Accordinglythere has been unusual quiet aroundthe White House offices few callersand comparatively little business transactedUp till Tuesday when the adjournment for the recess was taken Congress made a little headway especiallythe Representatives branch -where theDistrict of Columbia appropriation billsupplying funds for the expenses of thecity of Washington and for the seat orGovernment on tho north side of thePotomac was disposed of The Senatehas continued to mark time but closedIn a burst of energy This -was devotedhowever to purely executive work suchas the confirmation of nominations Themost notable In this lino -was the confirmation of Associate Justice HoraceH Lurton for the Supreme CourtThe Supreme CourtThe Supreme Cour now has Its fullquota of nine Justices altho one ofthem Mr Justice Moody Is still ill withrheumatic troubles in Massachusettsand probably will be Unable to resumehis duties for a long whlld But earlyin the New Year Justice Lurton willdon his black gown e

serviceThere has been a vast deal of murmuring over the nomination but it came tonaught as there was notsufllclent opposition to prevent either his nomination or his confirmation The SenateJudiciary Committee reported the nomination to the Senate unanimously aftera delay of several days Its membershad all been polled by President TaftIn advanceThere was some reluctance in thocommittee about assenting to tho nomination rather because of the advancedage of the Jurist than to the fact thatlie is a Democrat But in tho Senatethere was some opposition because ofJustice Lurtons labor decisions Theprogressives made something of thatand also took courage because Secretary or fatate Knox and other membersof tho Cabinet had advised the President against making the nominationOn tho other hand the neiv Justice hadactive and Influential friends who wereaiert to point out his many strong qualities and to champion his cause againstthe criticsTho DlpIoinatidSorvIcePresident Taft has concluded

that hishalf brother ex Representative CharlesP Taft may serve as EmbassadorReids successorThe Presidents Embassadorial nominations have all met with tho completenpproval of the Senate with tho exception of ex Secretary of State BaconThere is considerable opposition to himin both branches of Congress becauseof complaints of Senators and Representatives regarding the treatment accorded them at the State Departmentboth while Mr Bacon was AssistantSecretary and later while he was Secretary during the last month of theRoosevelt Administration Senator Rootof New York who was long- the colleague of Mr Bacon in the State Department has been combatting this opposition which probably will besmoothed over so as to assure Mr Bacons speedy departure for Paris Thereare Important

Uphill Work inGetting ReformsThere are troubles brewing for theState Department The AppropriationsCommittees are getting after that executive branch with a picket stick andwanting to know why this is so and whythat is so The murmurlngs howeverare chiefly on the House side of theCapitol The well known demoralization of the official rorce tnere due insome measure to the Interference of Influential Senators with the personnel isthe theme upon which members of theHouse are fond of dwellingThe Immediate beginning of this condition was In Secretary Knoxs efforts topersuade Congress to authorize an officeto bo known as that of Under Secretaryof State Tho House refused but itafterward Joined with the Senate inmaking a lump appropriation of J100000 to carry Into effect certain reformswHfch the Secretary contemplated MrKnox hag been establishing Bureaus tohave charge of diplomacy and trade Indlvera sections of the world which Isregarded as a very meritorious workand he brought Henry M Hoyt into theDepartment to be its Counsellor at 10000 a year But the Assistant Secretaries of State of whom there arethree do not like this course They arethe regularly authorized officials thruwhom the law directs the business ofthe Department shall be transactedBack of these Assistant Secretariesare powerful Senators Their positionsare so secure that it 13 naruiy to Dethought they can be removed Butmore and more business of necessityhas to be turned thru tho Bureaus andthru the Counsellor whom SecretaryKnox has selected There Is much confusion as to where authority and responsibility are The Assistant Secretaries do not drive their Horses wenwith Mr Hoyt It is often fortunate ifbusiness Is disposed of at all The situation has become such that the Increased number of employes has resulted In dela Ing rather than advancingbusinessIt seems Inevitable that Congress willbe compelled to take cognizance of thesituation Mr Knox is insistent uponhaving an Under Secretary of StateHe wants an official a little higher thanan Assistant Secretary to whom he candelegate authority Tho Bureaus hehas established are within the law he-cause Congress appropriated specifically for them But Congress did not define the lines of the new organizationof the Department and with the incubus of incompetent Assistant Secretariesthe resultant is confusion Meanwhilethe work of tho Department is growingtremendously in volume and even inimportanceCongress is very averse to authorizingreorganizations in the several Departments even tho it is recognized thatDepartmental organizations fossilizeevery few years with the Increase inbusiness and the Inevitable changes Intho character of work to be done Thelegislators thus drive Cabinet officers todistraction and round about ways aresought to accomplish what Congressought to do my direct enactmentsTroubles in tho Treasury and NavyJust now Secretary Knox Is not thoonly Cabinet official laboring under thisparticular difficulty Tho Secretary ofthe Navy Is trying to get his Bureausreorganized as has been widely toldBut that followed after very earnestefforts had been mado to get Congressto legislate Bill after bill had beenintroduced for the reorganization onlyto be allowed to sleep In some of thethousands or cubby holes which Congress has for unpopular measuresThen when the Secretary gets beforea House or Senate

buthew and improved methods have beendevised and in that Department toothe business has grown way beyond thebounds in the days when the accountingsystem was first put Into force Commissions of Congressmen galore havedeliberated over that and other featuresof postal administration but apart fromthe publication of bulky reports practically nothing has been done The Department officials have

line1Departmental reorganization is provinguphill workTHE APPROPRIATION BILLSmA Dilatory Secretary Work ofPreparation Somewhat BehindhandSeveral committees of Congress gohome for the holidays with a grouchyfeeling because of the status of publicbusiness with which they have immediately to deal One example sufficesto show the kind of causes that bringabout this attitude A certain memberof the Cabinet who did a deal of traveling during the Summer and Autumnand who is very popular in Washingtonsociety Just now has been attending toother things to the exclusion of thebusiness of his Department The Housecommittee which makes up the appropriation bill for that branch vt the public service had ambitious plans for conducting hearings and getting the billwell out of the way before the holidaysBut this particular Cabinet officialhas not formulated his plans or madehis recommendations Accordingly hissubordinates were not ready to appearbefore the committee and announcetheir program for appropriations Thecommittee has been waiting simplywaiting and the present prospect i sthat it will have to go ahead withoutthe required Information from the Cabinet official but depend upon Its beingfurnished later on perhaps when theappropriation bill In question reachesthe SenateThere arc numerous instances likethis which explain much of the delayon Capitol Hill For while it is nothingexceptional for Congress to do nothingbefore the holidays it Is customary forthe various committees of the House togo far toward preparing legislation forthe post holiday periodNot only the regular AppropriationCommitteo of the House but the NavalCommittee the Post C fllce Committeethe Agricultural Committee and the Indian Committee have appropriationbills to prepare These bills involve thehearing of a vast number of Government officials who are expected to explain in detail the conditions prevailingIn their offices the need for funds theuses to which these are put and soforth In some cases the preparation ofthese bills has gone forward satisfactorily but on the whole the work of thevarious Executive Departments is sobackward this year that the committeeshave often to wait for informationwhich should be ready on the very firstday of the sessionAfter the hearings which generallyare printed In pamphlet form for reference as well as for purposes of a permanent record quite a time is necessaryto make up the bills The amount to beappropriated under this head and thathead lias to De determined upon atlerthe Departmental officials have beenheard The committeo Chairmen liketo get tho hearings out of the way earlyso that they can have their bills madeup as soon as possible after the holidays They then havea better chanceto obtain early consideration in thoHouse which assures speedier consideration in tho Senate and often thesigning of the appropriation law in advance of the end of the session so thatthere will not be the usual crush Justbefore Congress is getting ready to gohomeThe Xaal Appropriation BUIOne set of hearings however that isbeing disposed of rapidly is that on theNavy appropriation bill Admirals andCaptains galore have been tramping tothe rooms or the Maval Anairs committee of late every forenoon and telling of the requirements of the serviceand standing cross examinations beforethe Representatives who sit around thebig mahogany table Usually the Navalappropriation bill is one of the last toget before the House That Is becauseof the large total It carries In recentyears and because or tne many troublesome problems carried on that measure as provisions of legislationAmong otner tnings it appears settled that there will be no aggressionagainst the Marine Corps this year norany effort to take tne marines oit tnewarships That was accomplished thruan order by President Roosevelt abouta year ago and was subsequently annulled by a provision of Congress ThettlXNaval authorities are disposed now toaccept that action as final and will allow the marines to continue on sea aawell as land service the same as heretofore The marine officers who havaresisted the removal of their men fromwarships feel satisfied that that struggle Is over for many years to comeThere are so many other things thatthe Navy wants from Congress it is unlikely that the old controversy will bereopenedTlici Waterways CommissionAnother belated Government

recommendations some ofwhich might be embodied In the riveranu numor appropriation mil xnis yeaxvTne ertra session of Conerrcss last Summer kept the junketers in Washingtoniill early- August They

boardthat ship to some Mexican port Thisstarted reports of Mexicos unduefriendliness for Nicaragua especially asSenor Don Enrique C Creel the specialpeace envoy of the Mexican Government to Washington had been politelybut firmly Informed that the UnitedStates preferred to settle her own quarrels with the troublesome CentralAmerican neighborBut the Mexican gunboat has nottaken Zelaya on board and
