'Ihe masses were not a little surprIS-
ed when it was announced lew
DAYS ago that William T. Henry. AS
siatant post master in the Duluth Office
| for the past six or seven years had
been Systematically robbing Uncle Sam
ali through the past five years. lie
was considered 50 trustworthy and
competent that he was retained IN the
office under Democratic and Republic
can officials. Ii has not yet transplr-
ed that his stealings have been very
large, but what looks very bad for him
is that he has stolen or destroyed a GER
tain line of records of the office extend
ing over the past five years. His main
base of operations was in the line OF
collecting pay on due letters and not
attaching the requisite due stamp
thus allowing him to put the money
into his pocket, and this in city like
Duluth where there are SO many for
eign letters received would make him
a revenue of about = per week. An
fees which would also be quite an item
of income, ana to cover these acts,
amounting to some $50 per quarter, he
had to make false reports to the gov
ernment and make his own books cor
respond with his reports, hence the
necessity of stealing or destroying the
records Two or three carriers are
implicated with him. The investiga-
ton is stil. in hand. Mr. Howard. the
present post master says Of the affair:
II detected that the business of the
office under his control was not being
conducted honestly last April But
the books had been kept i'll such an in
compile manner by Mr. Henry that it
was almost impossible to get at the
bottom Of things. When did secure
grounds on which to make Il charge l
told Mr.. IIenary, AMI asked for his
resignation | also at once reported
the matter. Shortly after this Mr..
Henry ana his mother came up to my
room in the hotel and beseached me
not to say anything. and | agreed to
remain silent Capt. Farrell and K. y.
Costello also called upon me and asked
me no. to publish the matter.
Mr. Henry then engaged the ser
vices of Mr. Lawler, who has constant
" beseechcd Mr.. Cnilds not TO prose
cute Mr. Henry, and on Friday Mr..
LaNler no, doubt heard of the action
taken and wired Henry to come to st.
Paul am not prosecuting Mr. Hen
ry in the III the matter. | merely re
ported the case as it was my duty to do.
Mr. IIenry's more serious crime in
this matter is the stealing of the re
cords of the Office
The rumor that may be abroad that
this case has been instigated against
Mr.. Henry because \. ii. TrauX de-
sired his removal from the board of
public works, is without foundation.
Henry Gruessen. a street ear con
ductOr, who was stamp clerk during
Postmaster Flynn's administration,
claimed that he at one time found Il
shortage of 5000 in returning from a
short absence from the city. He says
he gave his note for $500 to make this
shortage good.
Another report says that Gruesen
lost 81 900, at the stamp window. To
those who look at the matter unpreju-
diced it now begins to look as if the ar
rest of Henry and the two carriers
were not the only ones that could have
been made, and doubtless IIenry's
prosecution will carry down several
Others.

is IT SPITE WORK 2
Arrest of Spectator on a Charge
of Arson.

Although possessed of many hundred
acres Of land and heavy bank account,
w. K. Tullock has an unhappy faculty Of
getting into trouble Last week he was az
rested in this city and taken to Selma,
Fresno County. to answer charge of grand
larceny, which grew out of business dis
pute at that place. After giving bonds for
his appearance there when wanted for trial
he returned here. 1t was not many days,
however, before he was arrested on more
serious charge. Private Detective John Nc
Carthy, working in the interests of several
insurance companies, arrested TullOck yes
terday on charge OF arson. This time the
allegation is that he set fire to the Durbin
House at Green Valley, SOlanO County, IN
order to realize on several insurance policies
aggregating $1,000.
Tullock, DurchaSed the hotel in April Two
ago yesterday, while all the guests and en-
plOyeS at the place were absent at picnic,
the hotel was burned TO the ground. An IN
vestigation was made by the insurance COM
panies and il resulted i'm a charge Of arson
being preferred against the owner.
TulOck spent several hours in the City
Prison before starting for Fairfield in the
custody of Sheriff Anderson of SolanU
County. To a CALL reporter he said he
could easily refute the charge of arson.
The charge" said he, grows out of spite
work On the part Of the Durbin family, with
whom l had some trouble over crops that
were inc uded in the lease of property in the
vicinity of the hotel They accused several
persons Of setting fire to the hotel before
they talked so much that the charge was
preferred against me. The insurance poll
cies were transferred to me when l bought
the property. My business is that of pur-
chasing lands in various parts of the State,
and in partnership with by brother | own
1000 acres in Fresno County. l don't expect
any trouble in clearing myself of the serious
charge that grew out of spite work OF the
Durbins "

CAPTIVITY OF JUDAH.
The Lesson Applied TO Our Own Time
and People.

The Lesson Applied TO Our Own Time
and People.
S large number Of ladies and gentlemen
took part in the discussion of the lesson in
Mrs. Cooper's Bible Glass yesterday in the
First Congregational Church. The subject
was, THE Captivity of Judah" 1t was
shown that sin forever brings into captivity.
Judah fell Just as any nation viii fall that
fails to apply religion to national problems.
" will lose the point of this lesson, con-
tinued the teacher, unless we remember
that Gods laws are eternal. 1t remains for
ever true that righteousness eXalteth a
nation, but sin is a curse to any people"
All departure from God is ruin. Sin and
sorrow are root and fruit.
The question was asked as TO what was
the general tendency OF progress In our own
land?
''On the whole" replied Mrs Cooper
"the tendency Is upward and onward. 1t Is
toward greater intelligen e, morality and
spiritual growth. Let us never forget that
the highest prosperity is associated with
spiritual good. Mere material prosperity is
not enough. The strength and perpetuity
of cur commonwealth does not lie IN the IN
bounded prosperity of the farm, the mines,
the shops, the mercantile world. but IN the
virtue and intelligence Of the pc oplr, in The
spirit of humanity
when ISraePs overthrow was fOTetold, the
old prophet said: " Hear this, 0 ye that
swallow up the needy, even to make the
poor Of the land to fai. Surely, | will never
forget any Of these works, satin the Lord. "
Nor did He forget them. And what we
need to learn from the lesson is this. When
God is making us wise and rich and strong,
we should have the spirit Of tenderness and
brOOdng love for the needy, the feeble and
the distressed. The question that will de-
termine the perpetuity Of this nation, is one
of moral values. The best way in the world
to find Out what we are actually worth, is TO
inquire for what purposes We are living.
What are the dominating principles that
I shape and mold our livesp We see plainly,
from our lesson, that mere religious forms,
ceremonies and prieStly rites are OF small
use, ii the heart remains untouched. 1t Is
not abstract doctrine that will save this
world. 1t is doctrine incaInated and work.
ing through human lives that will tell on
the future of this nation.
