Has Spent Past Week in That City TRIBUNE SPECIAL San Francisco Cal Feb DNr Joseph Lippman of Salt Lake has been sojourning here for several days past lie Is a guest at the Palace hotel COULD NOT HAVE BEEN CLOSE Why Kearns and Lippman Have Not Been Cordial at Capital The Washington correspondent of tho Salt Lake Herald Is accurate Likewise IB i he to be numbered among the most truthful of the newspaper writers at the national capital In fact the truth oozing Involuntarily from his pen point IK only surpassed by the startling1 quality his statements of facts and a dispatch from him Is as substantial as a paragraph culled from the Holy Writ If you dont believe It secure a copy of yesterdays Herald and read the article set double column at the right side of the front page The label I made In Washington wasnt necessary neces-sary Anybody at all conversant with me poncnam ror secrecy so long manifest mani-fest In both Senator Kearns and Mr Llppmun would know that the dispatch could not possibly have been written In the Heralds local office To set forth the news and the suppositions contained con-tained In the Heralds special the author au-thor thereof would have to be rIght on thq ground quick of ear and very very farseeing Llaton to this Gossip has It that the relations between the Senator Sena-tor and his manager Mr Lippman have been far from cordial since theIr arilvnl In Washington So says the Heralds special Now no one not even thc junior Senator himself can question the truth of thftt statement Hehasnt oven spoken to bin manager Mr Llpp mun hasncvonbconseen Jils company com-pany there nor has any one reported that Joe was at the Shoroham or elsewhere else-where making himself solid with the people who arc to bo the new Senators friends indeed their relations have not been cordial since their arrival at Washington hlelly because they didnt arrive Senator Koarno did and the specials and Associated Press dla putches have told of It tmo and again but there has been no word from Joe The truth Is that Mr Lippman Is at present basking In the sunshine of California Cali-fornia lust about UH far away from tile t Senator us he could bo and still bo in the United States not counting Alaska Mr Lippman rode as farM far-M Ogden with Senator Kearno and there their ways parted Joseph went to San ranclsco and took quarters on February 5th at the Palace hotel Senator Sen-ator Kearns went to Washington and I took a seat In the United States Senate Doubtless the Heralds correspondent I knew all about this and thats whv he qualified the rumor of strained relations between the Senator and Joe by dating from the time of their arrival at Washington |
