Temperarily Suspended.
Both Democrat and Republicans Ex
press the Belief That Miss W. F.
Abbott, the Newspaper Woman,
Who Claims to Have Seen the "Dick
to Dick" Letter, Will Never Be Put
on the Stand to Tell Her Story Un
der Oath.
Washington, July 25. The Control
ler bay Investigation is at an end for
tho present and the threatened Bensa
tlon growing out of the mysterious
"Dick to Dick letter-' will not be
Riirune for months If nt all. Indeed
there are a good many men around
the Capitol, both Democrats and Re
publicans, who express the belief that
MIps M. F. Abbott, the newspaper
women, who claims to hive seen Uie
"Dick to Dick" letter In the files of
the Interior department, will never be
put on the stand to toll her story un
der oath.
At the room of the house commit
tee on expenditures In the Interior de
partment, which has been conducting
tho Controller bay Inquiry, it was Bald
yesterday that r.o important witnesses
would be called before the middle of
October and possibly not until later.
Then the statement was made thai
the investigation will bo resumed with
all its pristine vigor, but "frith tho
Controller bay proposition as only one
feature of the general probe Into
Alaskan affairs.
Brown and Ryan to Testify.
Asmun Brown, who was private sec
retary to former Secretary of the In
terior flallinger, and who, Miss Abbott
says, showed her the Dick to Dick
letter, and Richard S. Ryan, promoter
of the Controller Bay railroad and re
puted agent of the Cuggenheims, have
been in Washington for days waltln,r
the call of the committee and Brown
and Ryan have been particularly In
sistent that they be called and given
a chance to refute Miss Abbott's state
ments. They have boon afforded no chance
up to date and by the committee's de
cision to drop the inquiry for the pres
ent' will not have an opportunity to be
heard until fall, If then.
Chairman Graham cald today that
when the committee mot in the fall
to continue its inquiry into all the af

Fight Resolution Indorsing
the "Peerless Leader."
Fremont, Neb., July 25. "Concilia
tion" is the slogan of the delegates to
the Democratic state convention which
convenes in Fremont this nfternoon.
Alvesdy more than half of the dele
gates are on the scene and all the lead
ing Democrats of the Btate are here ex
cept Mr. Brynr, who is in Kansas on a
speaking tour.
The Dahlman faction will fight any
resolution endorsing Bryan. . The Bry
an faction will fight any resolution
endorsing anyone else and the Shal
leuberger faction will fight both Bryan
and Dahlman if resolutions favoring
either are Introduced.
From indications the convention
will simply ignore Mr. Bryan and it is
believed his friends will not dare risk
a vote of censure by introducing a res
olution favoring Bryan.
Neither the Shallenberger nor Dahl
man factions, it is said, will attempt to
introduce a resolution against Mr.
Bryan unless Bryan's friends force
their ban lis and the Bryan delegates
are in the small minority.

break out at various points. The not

Flit was not altogether fruitless. A
itlition to Commissioner Bigelow is be

fe. Bigelow and presents Tidioute's
Wims for the building of the road.
'1 be law prescribes that when a road

anrilie8 refuse to pay, the Commissioner
5(i go ahead and build the section and
cnnpel the Boro to meet its half. (This
reu't occur in Tidioute, however, as our
R1ple want the road.) The third con
