ASKED 10 1NDIcT PARTNER MILLER.
did tho Attorney-Geaernl Violate the
Postal Lawse


INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 16.-An effort is being
made to have the Federal Grand Jury. now In
session, indict W. H. H. Miller. Attorney Con-
eral OF the United States. The charge brought
against the Attorney G eneral ls that he sent
through the mails o private letter over his Of
fetal frank.
Last summer. It is alleged. the Attorney
General wrote private letter toJ. f. Robin
son. OF this city. upon political matters. Tho
letter was published BY the recipient at the
time. Among other things it purports to say
that The Gresham business Is giving no con-
csrn at this end OF tho line"
Tho Democratic County Committee got pos
session OF the letter and used 1t as a campaign
document at the last election. Now the charge
is made that tho envelope in which the letter
was mailed did not bear o post ago stamp Tho
law provides that any public officer who shall
use an official envelope without postage for
any other than official business shall be hned
$500.
Those who want Mr.. Miller indie ed say this
letter was private one-was 80 marked and
that the Attorney General clearly violated the
law by sending tho epstle without postage.
The Grand Jury hae been notified OF the al
legged violation OF the law. and will probably
hear the witnesses to- morrow.

Presbyterian Church In Willoughby and
Tompkins avenues, Brooklyn. was crowded
last night with members OF tho congregation,
who, after q somewhat stormy session,
practically voted 10 sustain their minister. the
Rev. J. Il. Carson In his insistence on his right
to vote at popular elections in spite OF the Rs

mistake. W. Clark spoke warmly In favor Of
Pastor Carson.
Joseph Patterson. who is said to be the oldest
member Of the church. drew from his coat
pockets two time. stained books. Ono contained
the Constitution Of tho United States, which
tho members Of the covenantinR church
held to be o goddess production. because 1t
does not contain mention Of the Deity. and the
other contained the Church creed.
"Wo ell ectocm Mr.. Carson" he said. but
when we consider a man recusant to tho VOWS
made before God We must not let our feelings
carry usa away.
We must look upon our pastor now as ono
who has declined the ministry"

ton for office In this country and God says 1t
