HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE
PROBING ALLEGATIONS
Representative Landis, Chairman of (he
Investigators, in Statement, Asks That
Judgment Be Suspended During
Progress of the Inauiry.
WASHINGTON", Feb. 5.- President
Roosevelt today temporarily suspended
Public Printer Charles A. Stilling* and
appointed William S. Rossiter temporari-
ly to fill the duties of that office. The
action, as explained officially. Is to fa-
cilitate the investigation now being made
of the Government Printing Office by
Congress. Mr. Rossiter is chief clerk of
the Census Office.
The following correspondence relative
to the change in the Government Print-
ing Office was made public today bv the
President. The first is addressed to
Chairman Landis of the House Commit-
tee on Printing, and is signed by the
President:
President Had Begun Investigation.
"The Information you have given ma
fhis morning Ih so important that X
deem it best that there should be a writ-
ten record thereof. I had already begun,
some weeks ago, an investigation Into
the Government Printing Office under
Mr. Stillings; this investigation originat-
ing because of information which reached
me as to the increased cost of printing
to the departments. 1 accordingly di-
rected Mr. Havenner of the Department
of Commerce and Labor to investigate
and report upon this matter. His report
on its face was severely condemnatory of
Mr. Stillings. I furnished Mr. Stillings
with a copy and requested an answer
from him, which I have not yet re-
ceived.
"I inclose you a copy of Mr. Haven-
ner's report, and as soon as 1 receive the
answer I shall forward that to you for
your information, and will let you know
what action I have taken on the report.
"You now inform me that your com-
mittee has discovered circumstances in
connection with the printing office, nota-
bly in connection with expenditures for
furniture in the printing office and in
the purchase of supplies, which makes
you feel that there is great irregularity
therein. You say that the subcommittee
feels that it cannot make a satisfactory
investigation of the office while Mr.
Shillings and the persons in charge of
the Audit System are in the office, and
request that I suspend Mr. Stillings
pending investigation and also suspend
the execution of the contract made under
the Audit System. I have accordingly
temporarily suspended Mr. Stillings and
shall put Mr. Rossiter in his place, di-
recting him to co-operate in every way
with your committee, and furthermore
to make an exhaustive report to me on
conditions in tho office."
One other letter was sent to Mr. Stil-
lings temporarily suspending him, and
another to Mr. Rossiter, putting him in
charge of the Government Printing Of-
fice. 4
Chairman I>andls of the subcommittee
Investigating the printing office stated
today that Mr. Stillings' suspension had
been ordered upon the recommendation
of the committee, but added that It was
only temporary, and a statement Issued
by the Congressional Printing Investigat-
ing Committee asks that the public with-
hold judgment until the inquiry is com-
pleted.
Statement From Mr. Landis.
Mr. Landis made the following state-
ment, In which Senator White and Rep-
resentative Perkins concurred:
"There was referred by the Joint Com-
mittee on Printing to the subcommittee
of the Printing Investigating Committee,
authorized to Inquire Into the general
matter of printing and binding, composed
of Senator White, Judge Perkins and
myself, a proposal submitted to the joint
committee by the Suffolk Distributing;
Company of New York, with the request
to report on the question of any relations
which might exist between the said com-
pany and the Audit System, a corpora-
tion employed in the Government Print- i
ing Office to install a cost audit and in-
ventory system.
The subcommittee called before It #nr.
Ray nor. the vice president and general
manager of the Audit. System; J. F. Han-
dy. also an officer of the Audit System
and president of the Suffolk Distribut-
ing Company, whose bid was under con-
sideration; Mr. Frederick Aldred, an of-
ficer of the Audit System and of the
Audit System Supply Company, and Mr. ,
Root, the Washington agent of the Audit
System Supply Company.
"The committee had also been reliably
Informed that the Audit System and its
auxiliary company, the Audit System
Supply Company, not only exerted what -
seeded to the committee as an undue and
improper influence In the Government
Printing Office, but were also interested
In the purchase of suoplles for the Gov- |
ernment Printing Office.
"The subcommittee, after the exami-
nation of these witnesses, felt that tho
testimony given by themjgn connection
with other representations made to the
members of the committee justified a
request that, in fairness to Mr. Stillings,
as well as to the committee and to tho
Government and to all concerned, the |
Public Printer be temporarily suspended
lending the result of the inquiry now in
land. The committee is especially de-
sirous that this action !>»• not construed
as prejudicial to the Public Printer, and
sincerely trusts that the public will
withhold judgment until the completion
of the inquiry."
Just as the President's action in sus-
pending Mr. Stillings was being an-
nounced. a committee of labor leaders of
this city, accompanied bv Representative
Carey of Wisconsin, called at the White
House and presented to the President
resolutions adopted by the Central Da-
bor Cnlon here January 20. last, charg-
ing Mr. Stillings with violations of the
eight-hour law in the Government Print-
ing office.

LISBON. Feb. 5.—The announced inten-
tion of the new cabinet to put an end to
repression and restore tho old libera
monarchy, which has existed in Portuga
for sixty years, has had a soothm*,- ef-
fect on the country. Tranquillity is re-
port ed from everywhere In the interior
and today, blsbon, basking In the bril-
liant sunshine, seems perfectly peaceful
Troops are less conspiouous on the
streets of the city today, and if the day
of the funerals passes without incident
the political phase of the crisis through
which the country Is passing may he re-
garded as at an end. The wllllngi.. ss of
Senhor Machado, the Republican leader,
and of the Republicans generally, to ac
quiesce In the present situation if their
friends are released s°ems to Insure r
return to less strenuous modes of polltl
cal warfare. Generally speaking, another
upheaval in the near future is considered
pra-tically impossible.
Franco Crushed in Spirit.
Intense interest is shown in Franco's
whereabouts, as the di ima centers about
him, but he remains in seclusion, seem
ingly crushed in spirit. He declines to
see correspondents to offer a defense for
his policy and explain his downfall, or
his leclsion to retire completely from the
political arena. His elimination is re-
gretted by the c*m*"-rcUl classes and
foreign elements, wh » ar*» convinced that
Ills sole object was the good the coun
try.
The young King himself bellevx-d In
Franco. The day after the tragedy, while
unbosoming himself to a life-long friend,
•he said: "1 intend to retain Franco. He
was my fathers fri^.nd and shall be
mine."
It is well known, however, that the
Dowager Queen has always been hostile
to the former Premier, and latterly
Cjueen Amelie shared the view that the
j dictatorship hod hem carried too far.
She is ::ai.j to have remonstrated with
I Mm that it might end in a tragedy and
| invoked him in behalf ol" a milder course
1 in memory of what her own family had
I suffered in France.
I On the day if th« assassinations, amid
I the confusion of that memorable scene
when beside herself with griif, she
turned upon Franco and cried: "This
is what yor.r work has done."
The young sovereign's personality Is
described by those *vho know him as
very winning. A? a lad he displayed
fine manly traits. He has consloi rable
artistic talent, especially for music, and,
like his father, was exceedingly fond of
outdoor sports, such as tennis, riding
and she oting. He wa* reared with great
care by the devoted Queen, who took the
warmest interest in the education of the
Princes, both of whom speak English

of War to Anatolia—The Present
Moment Favorable to Turkey,
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb 5.-The poasU
hi lit j' of hostilities between Russia ind
Turkey as a result of the boundary dis-
pute between Turkey and Persia, a situ-
ation that has caused tho dispatch of
5000 Russian troops in the direction of
the Ti. xish frontier, is dfseus.*rtd by the
Novoe Vremya today, which prof esse*
to believe that war might ensue from
the existing conditions. The paper de-
clares the present moment the most
favorable for Turkey, inasmuch as Rus-
sia Is involved in Internal troubles, her
army Is disorganised and the Turkish
border is without fortifications.
The paper publishes prominently a dis-
patch from its Tiflis correspondent, say-
ing that Russian army officers in Cau-
casus would probably be transferred
not later than April. The correspondent
adds that threatening movements of
Turkish troops near the frontier con-
tinue without interruption, and that sev-
eral large steamers have been chartered
by Turkey for the transportation of
munitions of war to Anatolia.
Owing to the fact that the pooulation
of Caucasus Is largely Turkish, the cor-
respondent urges that instead of mobiliz-
ing the reserves the Russian Govern-
ment should send troops from the in-
terior to the border.
The Foreign Office today repeated its
previous assurances that there were no
development in the situation pointing to
hostilities, but several high military ot-
ficlals, including the chief of th»- mobi-
lization section of the war office, said
today in an interview that although they
regarded grave developments a remote
prospect, they attached a certain amount
of weight to the editorials of the Novoe
Vremya.

ARCHITECT MAY TELL ALL
His Position in Pennsylvania Capitol
Graft Cases Indicated by Testi-
mony of Assistant.
HARRISBI'HO, Pa., Feb. 5.- All doubt
as to t.,e attitude of Architect James
Huston toward his co-defendants in the
Capitol conspiracy suit, on trial In the
Dauphin County Court, was dispelled
today by the testimony of ills assistant,
Stanford B. Lewis.
Lewis gave damaging evidence against
the defendants, Contractor J, H. Sander-
son, former Auditor Snyder, former
Stato Treasurer Mathues and Building
Superintendent Schumaker. While not
admitting that there was any conspiracy
of which he had knowledge, Lewis told
everything the Commonwealth asked.
Huston remained In the seclusion of
his room at the Senate Hotel, where he
was accessible only to his confidential
friends and lawyers. The architect was
Indicted Jointly with these four defend-
ints, but secured a separate trial with
the consent of the Commonwealth when
the case was caUed.
Lewis gave testimony to show that
while the original form of the certificates
of Architect Huston was tho same as
those used by all architects, they were
so changed by direction of Snvde: as to
specifically Include weights and meas-
urements. The prosecution claims that
the change In form in certificates was
made so that the responsibility for
checking up the furnishings would be
shifted to the architect instead of being
on Snyder and Schumaker, who were by
law required to certify to all furnish-
ings delivered to tho Capitol
