Mills Pooling Himself.


NEW YORK, March "A Washington
special to the Herald says that Chair
man Mills Ia much pleased with the out
come OF his work and that OF his demo
cratic colleagues. Mr.. Mills said yester-
day to your correspondent that he be-
lieved the bill was so conserva-
command majority In the
house Of representatives. He ad-
mits that IA democrats of Randall
school will probably vote against the
measure, two from Pennsylvania, two
from New Jersey, four from Ohio, four
from Louisiana. and two from California.
He expects, however, that their votes
will be offset by those of
at least eight or ten republicans
mostly from the northwest. Mills con-
tinued: 81 think the bill will pass BY a
slender majority. said that the agpre-
gate reductions proposed by the bill
were about fifty-flve millions. We intend,
however, to re-enact the old packages
clause. providing for duty on packages
which was omitted from the tariff act OF
81. This clause, as you are aware, does
not lay special tax on packages Of suf-
ficient kinds, but merely provides that
the value of goods and duty shall be as
sessed upon them accordingly. This
will add from five to ten
million dollars to revenue so that
the net reduction proposed by the
bill will not exceed forty-five millions.
think 1t is the opinion Of a majority of
our committee that the revenue of gov
eminent should be reduced not less than
seventy million. We have therefore
left twenty-five million to be disposed

A STRANGE CASE.
The Boegel Case is Heard Before
United States Commissioner
StavanSnn

The Boegel Case Is Heard Before
United States Commissioner
Stevenson.
The charge Of making fraudulent re-
turns to the audit department by Mrs.
A. N. BOegel, postmistress of Helotes,
and her husband, deputy postma ster,
was continued yesterday afternoon be-
fore United States Commissioner Ste
venson, as noted. Mr.. Royal, post
office Inspector, was examined and It
was explained that he was absent In the
morning owing to his understanding
that the examination would occur In the
afternoon. In his evidence he gave his
reasons for making the charge. He had
checks upon mail matter put on at San
Antonio postofflce, and at Gallagher's
ranch, which showed that the postage
was In arrears OF the amount and he said
that the accused had made the charge
In accordance with the facts OF the case.
He admitted that these tests were uure-
liable, inasmuch that considerable mail
matter would pass through the city
without check OF any kind. Mrs. White,
Of Gallagher's ranch, admitted that
she had only noticed stamps sent from
the Helotes Office to her office. or
all other matter she had not
taken any notice. In cross ex-
animation. MIR. Evans showed the
uncertainty Of tests that were made and
proved that little value could be at
tached to them because much matter
passed unchecked. In regard to alleged
admissions by the accused. Mr.. Royal
confirmed them, and admitted that he
had suggested that his sister, Mrs.
Kerr, of Burkeville, Nottaway county,
Virginia, might lend the money required
to make up the deficiency. He also aG-
mitted that he wanted to trade pair of
ponies from the accused. He contra
dicted the evidence OF Mr.. Tengg say
Ing he understood that the money ives
left with Mr.. Tengg to be used for any
purpose in which they were debtors to
the house.
This case was then continued until
this afternoon. The check returns be-
ing admitted by imperfect, cannot be
accepted by the commissioner, and the
case rests upon the question whether
the alleged admissions Of crimnslity
by Mr.. and Mrs. Boegel were made.
Both swear they we're not and the whole
case probably collapses. Unless some
additional evidence is brought in it il
expected that the accused will be dis
charged In the only one out OF the three
charges that remain against them.
