It is a statement by .one Miss M. F. Abbott that In an examination l of the files of tlie Interior Department ! a few weeks ago, she found a post-1 I script attached to a letter of July 13, 1910 addressed by Mr. Richard S.

The postscript was said to read as follows: „ Dear D ■ I wem to see the President the oth-, er day. He asked me who It was T represented.

Who is really responsible for Its wicked fabrication if it ever existed, or for the viciously false statement made as to its authenticity, Is immaterial for the purposes of this comunlcation The purport of the postscript Is, and the Intention of the fabricator was, to make Mr. Richard S. Ryan testify ...... through Its words to the public that although I was at first opposed in the public interest to granting the elimi nation which he requested, neverthe , . . less through the undue influence of brother Mr Charles P.

"The statement, In so far as my my brother is concerned—and that is the chief feature of the postscript—is ut terly unfounded.
