DoCKERYs PREDICTION.
He Believes a Third Party VIII Operate as
Hindrance to White Metal.

a Hindrance to White Metal.
WASHINGTON, March ta-
tive Dockery and wife left for home
last evening. Mr.. Dockery thinks the
tariff question will not be much of an
issue in Missouri for some time to come,
as there seems to be willingness to
give the new tariff laws fair trial.
The silver party he does not expect to
see gain many recruits in Missouri.
1.-THE state is, of course, decidedly
in favor of silver" he said, ''but
think the people of Missouri real
ize that any attempt to organize a
third party in the interest of silver will
operate as a hindrance. There is a
growing sentiment in both the old
parties fayora BILE to an enlarged use of
silver in our monetary system and l
think this will be expressed strongly
in both national platforms next year.

Heavy Damage Done in the Vicinity OF

Heavy Damage Done IN the vicinity OF
VacavilIe, Cal.
VACAvILLE, Cal, March 16. - The
damage done in this vicinity by Thurs
day nights unusual heavy frost will
not fall much short of 1925, 900. The
apricot crop has been almost totally
destroyed, probably not fifty tons re-
naming. Early cherries, that would
have been on the market in two weeks,
are all gone. The late varieties are
thought to be all right, as they arc
only just blossoming The almond
crop, which was advanced about tho
same as the apricot, is ruined. 1t is
impossible to determine at the present
just what damage has been done TO
peaches, as they are just going out of
the bloom and do not show as plainly.
This is also true of plums and prunes.

The Penltentlary InvestIgatIon.


Nashville, March 15.-The peniten-
tiary committee examined Judge r. j..
Morgan, of the prison commission; Mr..
Wards, secretary of the West Nashville
Land Company, from which the main
site was purchased; Ed Laurent, super
vising architect of the prison; w. IL.
Mitchell and r. L. Morris.
Judge Morgan went at length into all
be transactions of the commission, he
being on the stand for several hours.
He never heard of any combination in
the proposed Franklin County land pur-
chase. Ho thought the Brushy Noun
tain coal lands and the main site prison
purchases first-class in every respect.
Judge Morgan then explained at length
the reason that Smiths plans were
selected, saying that Architect Laurent
figured it out that Smiths plans were
not moro than twenty to forty thousand
more expensive than the others. Then
they selected Smiths plans because
they thought them the best presented
and the most satisfactory.
Judge Morgan said they let the con-
tract to Fulcher & Co. on the idea that
they could spend what money they had
and go on with the remainder of the
work if the assembly sanctioned it..
They acted on Gen. Pickles opinion as
to this matter. lie said that tho COM
missioners had done their duty, and that
he did not believe they could be justly
charged with any wrong-doing.
Mr. Laurent said nobody could have
tampered with the bids while they were
in his possession, waiting to be opened.
Mr. Mitchell stated that be had been
paid 81, 900 by the West Nashville Land
Improvement Company to aid it in max
ing the sale of the main site, but that
he had never. approached any of the
commissioners, and that they had never
received cent benefit out of his fee.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
a saIty Report Expected.

The committee on charitable institu-
tions has completed its investigation Of
the Middle Tennessee hospital for the
insane. The committee has made a
most thorough investigation and gone
to the bottom of facts as to the manage.
ment of the institution. The result is
not at all satisfactory, and it is more
than probable that the report as to this
institution will be salty, to say the
least of it.
From the evidence secured it seems
to be established that patients have
been abused, roughly treated and neg
lected. Insufficient and badly-pre-
pared food has been furnished them.
This applies more especially to the
State patients, as attendants have been
sitting up with pay patients whenever
needed and have shown them attentions
that the State patients did not receive,
the latter being in many cases neglected
and treated unkindly. 1t seems that
since Superintendent Beauchamp took
charge the food has been of better
quality and better prepared, but the
improvement along other lines has not
been sufficient to please the committee.
1t is understood that Superintendent
Beauchamp has been notified that the
committee will recommend the dis
missal of Supervisor Ferguson, who has
general charge of the attendants, the
committee being of the opinion that
much of the trouble is 6ue to his ad-
ministration of affairs.

A GIGANTIC SWINDLE.
Two Cent Postage Stamps COun-
terfeited by Thousands.
Most Skilful Scheme Worked on
Any Government.
COUNTRY Is FLOODED.
The COunterfeiters Made Many
Thousands Out Of It.
The Little Pink Stamp Most
Cleverly Initiated.

CHICAGO April 9.-The Tribune says:
Uniled States secret service operatives
in Chicago and Washington have un-
earthed probably the most unique and at
the same time important swindle ever
perpetrated upon any government Its
magnitude, after two days investigation,
can only be guessed at, but it is believed
thousands upon thousands of dollars have
been secured by ii gang Of skilled count
erfeiters who have reproduced, with
wonderful skill and accuracy, the pink
2-cent stamp of commerce
Whether the counterfeiters have ac-
completes in dishonest postmasters is not
known. It is thought the country is
flooded from New York to San Francisco
with these spurious stamps. and the
United States has been carrying millions
of letters from which not one cent of
revenue was received.
Chicago apparently has been the head
quarters of the gang and its product has
been shipped to distributing agents
throughout the country by express com
panies. Just exactly how the ihfor-
nation reached the government officials
is not known. But they evidently got
straight tip, for last night Capt. Stewart
Of the Post Inspectors department and
Capt Porter of the United States secret
service bureau called at the WELSH Fargo
office
They were taken to the store room and
there found an oblong package contain
ing 1000 of the counterfeit stamps. 1t
was impossible to get Inspector Stuart
or Capt. Porter to say single word re-
garding the case. No one ii the post
office knew anything of the case.
1t was said in Washington that while
the gang has had headquarters in Chi
cago it has operated in ST Louis, Cincin-
natl, Buffalo, and as far west as San
Francisco

New YORK, April 9.-Chauncy M. Depew

with Governor Altgeld of Illinois. Mr..
Depew said: 'sThis man Altgeld is an

didn't mention his name in my speech
l said that Debs raised a revolution that
awed two governors and which it took
the United States troops to quell 1t
seems he has found that the shoe fits
him. and without any further urging
puts it OF.
"He stands convicted upon his own tes-
timony. He says l prefer to wrap my
self in the American flag. 1 judge that
he is angry because 1 do not wrap my
self in the red Anarchist rag that he has
adopted l think 1 will stick to the stars
and stripes. He eliminates his remark
able epistle with the assertion that l
don't know anything about railroads.
Il have been ten times elected presl-
dent of the New York Central railroad
by its thirteen thousand stockholders
and never had vote against me. l will
wager that he cannot be reelected once
to his office after a fair hearing.
MIR Altge!d is an odd mixture. He
is worth three or four million dollars
far more than l am. The assertion of
the people with whom he associates is
that no man accumulates more than
$1,OOO,000 in this world unless he steals
it. l don't need to work out the prob
lem any further. Altgeld owns the big
gest building in Chicago. His cry is
always for division of property. He
knows very we'll that the rest of the peo-
pie will not allow it, and he gets all the
credit of being a reformer without en-
dangering his fortune.
"If he should practice his professions.
he would divide his property first and
then, after setting the example, call on
the rest of the country to follow his
lead"

APOLOGIES. TO CLEVELAND
Rev. Mr.. Lansing Offers them for His
Statements as to Drunkenness.

BosToN, April 9.-Rev. DR.. Isaac ].
Lansing, pastor of the Pearl Street
church in this city, who, in an address
before the New England Methodist con-
ference at Salem last week, accused
President Cleveland of intemperance.
last night declared himself as follows on
the subject:
address at Salem, on Thursday, April 4,
to the drinking habits of the president of
the United States, were based partly on
common report and partly on the testi-
mony of eye witnesses from various and
independent sources which l believed to
be wholly reliable.
II had been informed that the presj-
dent had been seen on different occa-
sions, and in the presence of many per-
sons, in an intoxicated condition. From
the circumstantial and detailed character
of these statements. | supposed there was
no doubt as to the facts alleged. | there
fore made this alusion as a matter of
common report, basing my confidence on
the testimony of personal, and as l sup
posed, credible witnesses.
GThe names of these witnesses, OBJ
viously, l cannot with propriety reveal,
since sharing their knowledge in COM
mon with many others, they might justly
shrink from being singled out and called
to verify that which not only they but
others equally with themselves, had a
clear proof of
81 must, therefore, say that if my
statement reproducing such testimony is
not in harmony with the facts, regret
having made it. l could have neither
desire nor motive for saying anything
unkind or uncharitable of the president
or any party whatever.
"The case being one of the conflict of
testimony between witnesses of equal
credibility, l cannot decide which, and
since have no personal knowledge apart
from tho testimony, withdraw the state
ments and tender apologetic and SINGER g
regrets to the president of the United
States and the public"

Washington Officials Think the SwIndIe
Isn't So Large Reported.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Chief Inspec-
tor " heeler of the postofice department
refuses to say anything about the stamp
counterfeiting in Chicago, though he has
received several kilograms concerning
the affair.
1t was learned from other officials,
however, that the extent of the counter
feiting has been over estimated. Third
Assistant Postmaster General Craig says
that counterfeit stamps have car
ried letters through the mails and
have been cancelled but says
that stamp counterfeiting cannot be car
ried on to any great extent, as the cost
of making stamps and the difficulty in
disposing of them is so great as to rem
der the counterfeiting of little profit
