SENDS LETTER T0 TAWNEY, o Tells:Chaicmaryof Appropriations.Gom. mittee That Feature of Discussion on. Bill Providing Traveling Ex penses Most Distressing to Him Was the Intimation- That He-Was Not Well Treated by Southerners. Washington, May . 28.—President Taft has sent to Chalrman James A, ‘fawney of the house committee on appropriations: a. letter expressing deep resentment at the criticisms passed by Democrats.in the:house de- bate upon. the traveling expenses ot the president * The president says he is: especially distressed by “suggested reflection on Southern hospitality.” The executive’s letter follows: “1 am deegly grieved over the phase | which the discussion of the appropria- tion for the traveling expenses for the president took in the house: it is a legitimate argument in favor of such an appropriation that con- gressmen and many others press the acceptance of invitations to visit their sections and districts, becanse the ur- gency of such requests indicates the opinion on the part of the people that one of the duties of the president is to. visit the people in their homes. Most: Painful Intimation. “But the intimation or suggestion that the acceptance by congressmen of the president’s ffjvitation to travel on the train with h mi in their respective districts or staték'was a reason why they should not voice their free opin- ion is to me a most painful onme. Im traveling upon the train.they, were not receiving my hospitality—they were only making a little more elaborate the cordial welcome which they, as representatives of their districts, wished to give. “The feature of thediscussion which: was especially distressing:to me was a suggested reflection on ‘Southern hospitality.’ The intimation that some- where in the South board was charged has no foundation in fact and I never heard it intimated until I saw it in the papers. “In all my experience; and I have enjoyed: the. hospitality of many. sec- tions and countries of the world, I never had a more cordial, generous, open and lavish welcome than I had in the Southern states during my trip and the slightest hint that puts me in the attitude of a critic of that hospital- ity gives me great pain. < “l1 am going to take the liberty of making this letter to you public.” HIS SENTENCE SUSTAINED Convicted: Murderer Must Spend: Life in Penitentiary.
