Also a Letter from Ex-Governor Woodruff to Governor
Lilley, in Reference to Sams Matter That from the
Governor to Mr. Higgins Not nis Official Reply, that
Going to the House Judiciary Committee Tomorrow.
Washington, Jan. 18. Congressman
Hieelns this morning gave out a lei-
tar received bv him from Governor
Lilley on Saturday, enclosing a copy
of another letter from former gover
nor Woodruff, both, of course, bearing
on the Gaines resolution of Friday.
This letter is not the official reply of
Governor Lilley, hut is more of a per
sonal statement to Mr. Higgins. The
official reply will undoubtedly go to
the house committee on the judiciary
and will be taleen up next Wednesday
by that committee. Mr. Higgins will
try to get these two letters into the
Congressional Record by unanimous

Governor Lilley's' Letter.
Both letters are headed "State of
Connecticut, Executive Department,
Hartford." Governor Lilley's letter is
dated Jan. 15. 190S, and is as follows:
"My Dear Mr. Higgins:
"I have received your telegram of
today stating that Mr. Gaines of Ten
nessee his introduced a resolution the
object of which is to declare vacant
my seat in congress, in oruer mat
you may know the facts first hand, 1
have written this letter.
"On Dec. 11th, 1908, I tendered my
resignation as congressman to Gov.
Xtollin S. Woodruff. Under onr statute,
in case of a vacancy in congress. It is
the duty of the governor to call a spe
cial elec tion. The matter wa.s referred
toy Governor Woodruff to the attorney
rer.eral, who rendered it as Ms opinion
that the statute was mandatory, and
that if the resignation was accepted a
specta! election to fill the vacancy must
te held.
"It seemed to the governor and to
the attorney general that the large
expense entailed and the fact that,
after deducting the time necessary for
a special election, there would be but
about one month for a new member
to serve, were conclusive reasons wny
my resignation shoull not be accepted
The governor, therefore, declined to
accept my resignation. A copy of his
letter I enclose herewith. I have felt
that the precedent laid town by my
predece'-sor was obligatory upon me as
governor.
"You may be assured that no other
ronsideration than those set forth in
this letter has weighed with me In
taking the position I have taken. So
far as I have been able to ascertain,
the press and citizens of Connecticut
SALARY OF SPEAKER

tion whether the president ordered ahe
suit brought against the New York
World and the Indianapolis News be
cause of alleged libel in publications
relating to the purchase of the Pan
ama canal property, and under what
statute this arti-lu litis been taken.
Mr. Reyner declared thai there was
no suitiita authorizing such legal pro
cedure and that the attempt to sue
he newspapers In the name of the
United States, if entered vpon, was
an attempt to apply the sedition laws
long since repealed. He declared there
wan no law under which the libel laws
could be made to apply to statements
respecting the government. Vnder ob
jection, further consideration was
postponed until tomorrow.

"House of Representatives,
"Washington, D. C."
Letter from ex-Governor Woodruff.
Governor Woodruff's letter is ad
dressed to "Hon. George L. Lilley,
Congressman at Large, Hartford, Con
necticut." It is dated Deo. 21st. llu,
and is as follows:
"My Dear Congressman:
"I am in receint of your letter of
Dec. 11th, tendering your resignation
as representative at large from the
state of Connecticut in the Sixtieth
congress, to take effect Jan. 5th, 1909
"Since receiving your resignation I
have given the matter much consider
ation. The day after I received it I
asked Attorney General Holcomb if
there is a precedent in this state for
such act as I then believed would be
and still believe is proper for tne gov
ernor to take in a situation such as
this. My idea was then, and still is,
that I ought not, in full justice to the
state, to accept your resignation. If I
do not accept it there is no vacancy in
the office of representative at large,
and It is not neeessan- to hold a spe
cial election. If I should accept the
resignation, it would be necessary un
der the terms of the act to hold a
special election that would require an
expenditure of a number of thousands
of dollars for a term only sixty days
in length, and I do not think that any
citizen of the state who has its best
interests at heart would consider euch
an expenditure of money to fill an
office of that length of time justifia
ble. "During the Interval between receipt
of your letter and this writing I have
discussed this matter with several of
the state's leading men, and in the
main they take the same view that I
do, viz.. that it is inexpedient to ac
cept the resignation, thereby creating
a vacancy and the imperative necessi
ty of holding a special election at larere
expense to the state and for a very
short term of office.
"I therefore find it necessary to de
cline to accept your resignation.
"Very tnilv vnars,

Hearst's Agent
Under Arrest

BY ORDER OF CGV. HASKELL

N. Haskell, charging conspiracy to
defame the governor, Scott MacRry
nolds, attorney and special agent for
William It. Hearst, was arrested to
night. Armed with a search warrant,
also sworn to by Governor Haskell.
MacReynolds rooms at the lone hotel
were searched by Sheriff John Mahon
ey and Orville R. Smith, private attor
ney of the governor. A large number
c ciata ana papers were seized. Thev
are said to pertain to the $600,000 libel
suit instituted by Governor Haskell
agajnst Mr. Hearst.
Agent Demands His Papers.
MacReynolds immediately demand
ed of the county court through his
counsel. Judge J. H. Eurford, the
whereabouts of his papers. They were
found in the private office of the gov
ernor. They were turned 'over by
Biierin lanoney to tne court.
MacReynolds had collected a vast
amount of data in confidence. In a
statement made tonight, he declared
that Governor Haskell's purpose in ob
taining his arrest and in seizing his
papers was to obtain possession of this
information to ascertain its import
ance and to learn from whom he ob
tained it.
Governor Explans the Arrest.
Governor Haskell in explanation of
MacReynolds arrest said:
"I sw ore out a warrant todav for the
arrest of Mr. S. MacReynolds", said to
be from Brooklyn, N. Y., representing
Mr. Hearst. Mr. MacReynolds has
been in the state almost constantly for
nearly three months, at times assisted
by one or two other men from the east
and by a certain person from Ohio,
and three or four people of our own
state.
"I paid no attention to them until
recently, when I learned that they were
disappointed at not finding anything
truthful to use against me, whereupon
they became apparently desperate and
began offering large sums of money
to persons to aid in manufacturing
false statements. In several instances
I am reliably advised they have used
the expression: 'Vf? have ahe money
and are willing to give it to you if you
will help us.'
"It is not Hearst alone, but thfre
are other interested parties In the con
spiracy, and with the main purpose of
injuring me they combined their ef
forts. I have nothing further to add,
except that the arrest of Mr. MacRey
nolds Is only the-beginning, and other
conspirators will have the same op
portunity to square themselves with a
Jury of honest people."
