a Revenue collector in Trouble.

LOUISVILLE Oct. 9-Criminal information
was filed in the United States Circuit Court
this morning against S. r. Crumbaugh, col
lector of internal revenues of the Second
Kentucky district, each of eight counts
charging that he used official government
envelopes for the transmission of private
correspondence for the purpose of saving
postage. One of the letters sent in the en-
yelopes in question referred to Crumbaughs
amusing canvass for the secretaryship of the
navy, vice Chandler, whom he expected
would be elected senator from New Hamp-
shire. Crumbaugh was endeavorng to have
the Republican State convention indorse him
for the position, but failed No one believes
here that Crumbaugh willfully did wrong,
but let his vanity and ambition run away
with his judgment.

Cor, Frauds i'm New York city.

New York, Oct 9-Great interest is
taken in the report of the commissioners of
accounts in the Carol coupon frauds, which
alleges that frauds could have been made
only through gross carelessness; that Carol
must have had accomplices; that proofs ex-
list that coupons of the surplus bond issue
were used and that a radical reorganization
of the financial department of the city is
necessary. Mayor Edison says in looking
over the report, that several features struck
him. One was the manner in which the in
terest account had been conducted in the
comptroller's office; another is the allegation
that if the surplus or difference between the
coupons printed and coupons issued were
not destoyed where are they? That is a mat
ter for Investigation.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal;
In overlooking the pension list which you
publish in your valuable paper, it must
strike anybody to see the big list of widows
and survivors of 1912. Since that time sew
enty-one years have elapsed, the youngest
men which have thus served must be over
ninety-one years of age now, and widows of
soldiers from that period must surely be
fourscore and more old. But counting
them in the four districts inst published so
far, you find PSI widows and eighty-seven
survivors drawing pension yet If the bal
ance of the State goes on in this rate, Indi-
ana must have furnished nearly all the SOL
diers to drive Packenham from New Orleans.
There must surely be some mistake, or else
the pension inherits in the family.

was outside the jurisdiction of the State.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.


To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
Your joking note with reference to bac-
terra in Thursdays Journal might lead
astray that large class who are deluded
enough to get all their scientific knowledge
from the newspapers. The investigations
you referred to were not, intended to throw
any doubt upon the existence of bacteria in
general, but only upon those forms which
were called such in the blood of patients
with fever. OF course the amount of damage
done to the conclusions of the distinguished
Pasteur and others by these recent investi-
cations is just as ridiculous your note makes
it, Bacteria, though. can be seen in count
less numbers in very many preparations,
and their forms and motions arc endless. In
my laboratory they are friends that
we meet every day, and you might
as well try to convince one OF the class in BIZ
ology that the sun does not exist as that liv-
ing bacteria do not exist. for they have seen
both. But, Mr. Editor, as botanist l am

of cancer on cattle is exceedingly rare. All
