THE MERRY WAR.
Clerk ConIey's DocumentN Now
at State Auditors Office.
1t Surely Will Go. Back Without His
hpproyaI-Rump Pay Refused.

The type-written document OF Clerk
Conicy with the "Rump" session payroll
certified TO by both clerks and care
fully pinned inside, was received
in the morning mail at the State
auditors Office today by Clerk Arnold.
State Auditor LaDaers did not come up
from Newport today so hat his intentions
in regard toany further Enforcement can
not be ascertained. IL he should decide 20
return il he is likely 10 simply say some
thing TO the effect that payment is de-
sired for reasons heretofore stated. In both
OF his communications 10 the State audi
tor, Clerk Conley raises the question as to
why the members cannot be paid out of
the additional 5000 appropriated for at
tendance and mileage in the bill passed
April 10. The fact is that there was no
additional appropriation for that pur-
pose. The sums appropriated in 1898
and 1884 were Identical, s2O,Voo,
and were intended for the
payment OF members for actual
attendance at the January and May ses--
sions. The appropriation for 1898 lapsed
with the fiscal year ending March
81, and there Is no money avail
able TO pay even for the legiti-
mate six-days' session unless it is
appropriated by special act. The duties
statute, do not include the answer
to conundrums from the House clerks,
but simply to pass upon the correctness
OF the payroll. The auditors statement
that il was grossly in excess OF the actual
attendance was based upon general
knowledge that at no session at Newport
after the sixth day were there more than
bakers dozen present, and that any
record of the attendance of 20 members
was manifestly unwarrapted. Ii is claim
ed that the authority under the
statute would permit the auditor in case
of any dispute, to examine the records,
and IL necessary, secure the certificates
of members as 10 their actual
attendance. The whole proceeding seems
to have resolved itself into game Of bluff
on the part OF the "Rump" Democracy to
eDllven the few remaining days of their
political existence.

existed and he would simply have chal-
lenge criticism OF his own acts.

division ~ Sheffield, apd he will shortly
visit that section sof the country
in order TO seek from the cleo
tors an expression of their renewed

been exposed on account of his coDnec
tion with the New Zealand Loan and Mer-
camille Agency.

that she is much chagrined because OF

REMAKKABLE CHARGE

Against n Government ClerE-uo Signs
Away Another Mans Property, With tho
Assistance of the Lattor's Vito.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Alexander A.
Russell, special examiner in the pen
sion Office, is under arrest charged with
forgery by John o. oldborg, clerk in
the Indian Office. Bail in the sum Of
81, 800 was furnished.
Oldberg makes some remarkable
charges against Russell, Several years
ago Oldberg purchased property at
Bennings, d suburb OF tho city, said to
be worth $4,000. About three months
ago no made tho discovery that the land
had been sold to satisfy trust deed.
His wife's and his own name were
signed to the decd. "Theso are my
wife's signatures but not mine." Mr..
oldberg alleges. Mrs. Oldberg wrote a
letter 10 the commissioner OF pensions
coniessing her completely in tho affair.
She is a clerk in tho pension Office and
occupied desk next to that OF Major
Russell, who, 1t is asserted, often lent
money to tho clerks.
Ono day when creditor called at the
office to press Mrs. 0ldberg for pay
mont Of debt, Major Russell. she says,
suggested that she make out deed OF
trust for $500 on her husbands prop
erty and he would get the money. He
went with her to notary. representing
himself as Mr.. 0ldberg, and signed
Oldberg's name to tho trust decd aud
got tho $500 on It from o money lender.
Later, Mrs. Oldberg alleges, Russell
came TO her to borrow money, and 1t
was raised by similar trust deeds:
Russell each time signing Oldbere's full
name. The total amount thus raised
10 said to be $500. There is very
close resemblance between tho two
men, Russell and 0ldberg, tho likeness
being strong enough to have been
subject OF remark.
Mrs. Odlbergs letter Of confession to
the commissioner Of pensions was writ
ten several months ago, when her hus-
band first learned OF the loss OF his pro-
perty and was investigating It. Later
she wrote another letter, retracting her
former statement as to Russell having
signed her husbands name to the trust
deeds. The notaries before whom the
signatures wore attested have partially
identified Russell as the man who made
them. Russell declares the affair con-
spiracy and denies the whole story,
though admitting that he loaned small
amount to Mrs. Oldborg several years
ago.
Oldberg Is German and he studious-
ly socks to shield his wife in the mat
ter, though it ia clear that ii Russell is
guilty OF fraud the vito is also guilty.
Mrs. 0Idberg is about forty-Gvo years
old and rather prepoasessing in appear.
