ThG Ex.SenRt0r Tells What He Knows 4
the Star Route Frauds.
WASHINGTON, D. G., March 7.-Ex.Sena.
tor George L. Spencer, OF Nevada, was
heard this morning by the House Com.
mittee on Expenditures in tho Department
OF Justice, concerning Star route matters.
1t seems that Mr., Spencer was among the
first who called the attention OF the POST
Office Department to the alleged dishonest
transactions Of Star route contractors. He
worked some time getting up evidence on
Star route frauds. Living rs he did, in a
Star route country, he had considerable
knowledge OF the Transactions. Hs cited
route in Nevada leading out Of Eureka,
where seven mails q week were paid for
and only three mails weekly were received.
When the Investigations were completed
and-the, reports Of the special agents re-
ceived, he concluded that it would avail
saving Of two or three million dollars u
year, but there was no evidence upon
which any one could be convicted il prose
culed. When the investigations were
completed and before prosecutions were
begun, he went to Nevada.
Soon afterWard he laet an agent Of the
Government there who sA;d be was serv.
ing warrants in the Star route cases, bu.
had none for witncs9. Later witness went
to Boston, then to New York. At the lat.
ter place warrant WIS served on him TO
appear in the Dorsey.B.ady trial. Lie pro.
tested and complained about being sub.
pD: ted at New York, eaying process should
nave been served upon him ut his home in
Nevada, as he would be cut out Of his per
diem by acknowledging process in New
York. He thought it bad policy also to
call him as witness, as he knew nothing
that would uid tho prosecution.

Tie trouble in Princeton College re-
solyes itself into this, whether the college
shall govern the students or the students
run" the college. by common consent
and usage college "men" are allowed more
liberty than boarding school "boys," but
Princeton has always exercised more con-
troll than most Of the great universities Of
the country, and there have always been
parents who preferred it for that reason.
II the aim OF college life be to improve
the mind and build up character, then
young men at college should be placed un;
der wholesome restraints. So also in the
matter Of athletic sports, the value OF
which is conceded; tho college ought to
have something to Say about that 1t does
a boy no harm to be handy with the bat
andthe oar, butthe University has a higher
mission than turning out professional
base ball players md earsmen. Itmay be
that the Princeton proctor has played some
unnecessary antics in his Office and set
the young fellows teeth on edge, but
doubtless the proctor can be quelled and
theboy5 reconciled to a reasonable regime.

Paymaster Bartlett has been DISCHARGED.
He could not be found TO night by your

be not less than $4,000. J. II. Peasley,
first vice president and treasurer Of the
road, was seen at o'clock this morning,
Lie said he was under oath not 10 diyulpe

KANSAS Cry, No., March THE recent
decision Of the Supreme Court Commission
in the case Of Long vs.. Long has been the
occasion Of considerable apprehension in
business circles. The decision is based
upon a statute Of 1855, Tor years dead let.

loan OF foreign capital placsd in the State.
Although it ia generally held that the va.
lidity Of such titles cannot possibly bs abro.

capital from the State, IN effect which
would be universally felt. To avert this

Chicago, Darlington and Q,incy offices, as

mine is $4,000. 1t seems Paymaster Bart
lett Loft his cfiice for. lunch without taking
the precaution to close the combination OF
tho big safe, o. waiting the return Of the
Other attaches OF tho office, who had gone
for lunch. The theory advanced by the
Treasurer of the company is that the rob-
berry was accomplished by sueak thieI.
'r~o doora lead into the Cashiers otlice
from vacant room, one Of which was
found ajar. on tho paymaster's return. The
paynaster's room is located in the general
oiiicee OF the company on the second floor
OF the building and was CONSTRUCTED spe.
cially with view to guard against intru-
sion and theft but in this Instance the
most ordinary precautions had been
ignored. ;S
The explanation given BY tho discharged
paymaster is that he Suppoaed the vacant
room adjoining his oilice was always kept
locked, but in thia cass it was proved 9TH
erwlse. This door WIS close 10 aud ad-
joining the vault i'll which the sale was To-
Gated. When the paymaater left the room
tho cashier Of the company aud an assist.
aut who occupy practically the same room
were there, but they sit at desks somewhat
removed IRON the vaul. aud in an angle
which partially conceas the entrance to
the vault, so tha. any oae entering from ths
vacant room could have accomplished the
robbery without their knowledge. The
payn'asser assumes tho robbery must have
been committed by some one having COM
plcte knowledge OF the room and the habits
OF its occupants. - '...T'.fr-,e-
