CROOKED MILITARY DOCTORS
Escape seFV ce-8etr0yed by
SUICIDES Confession

LONDON, ENG, June IA series OF
trials completed Thursday in Moscow
show that Russian military officers have
been guilty of strange offenses. The Rus
sian peasant has long practiced mutiIation
to incapacitate himself for military SER
vice, but the officers in question have de-
vised means for freeing the recruit after
he has entered the ranks, for sums vary
ing from $25 to $500.
The clerk VINO made out the returns
conspired with the junior doctors IL
charge of the military hospital to effect
the release of privates by producing GER
tain diseases. A private deslrous OF es-
Gaping military service applied at the
hospital, where the conspirators, by means
of drugs, produced various sicknesses,
ending by weakening the hearts action.
The chief doctors then signed a certificate
TO the effect that the person was unfit for
service.
The plot was discovered upon the death
of one of the clerks, who shot himself
after leaving in writing full confession,
naming his accomplices. Eight men I'M
plicated have been sentenced to severe
puuishments.

BRIBERY CANNOT SAVE BARTLEY
Sensations Craving Out of the Trial of
the Ex-Stdfe Treasurer for Steal
ma HAT Million.

OMAHA, NEBB., June 12.-To-day the
State closed its testimony IN the trial of
ex-State Treasurer Joseph Bartlev, ac.
cused of stealing $500,000 of State funds
Just one week has been consumed IN pre-
senting the States case. 1t has developed
one OF the sensations In the history of
criminal Jurisprudence i'll Nebraska. The
opening was exceedingly sensational, re-
suting in Amos Wright being sent to
prison for two years for trying to bribe
the BARLEY jury TO acquit.
There was undoub btedly plot on the
part of those who are believed to have
profited by Bartley's stealings to help the
prisoner by spending money freely, but
the prompt action OF the court in sem
fencing Wright put an end 10 the plot.
Wright refused to make public The names
of those who employed him to do the
work, maintaining that the men were
strangers TO him. The particular crime
for which the State is holding out for con-
viction is the sale OF State warrant for
$500 900 by BARLEY to the Chemical Ma
tional Bank OF New York. 1t is said all
effort will be made TO recover some of the
money stolen by Barley and leaned to
prominent individuals.

NEW YORK, n. Y, June 12.-Pros-

NEW YORK, n. Y, June 12-Hon.
Thomas T. Bayard lately Embassador to
England, was rendered a reception to-
night by the National Civic Club OF
Brooklyn. The clubhouse was crowded.
Bayard was introduced amid great APP
plause and said:
perhaps there is a distinction between
good-feelng and diplomacy which l can
not clearly appreciate, but as the only
diplomacy l ever professed or practice /
was the diplomacy of simple good-f ait h
and honor, goo1-feeling naturally ran in
the same current and never was for
gotten"
He read the preamble TO the peace treaty
with England signed IN 1888, IN which the
need OF goOd-feelinG between the two
countries Is emphasized, and continued:
81 was endeavoring always to be n
representative of my countTymen, not of
their passions, iealousies and animositIes,
or OF the am Di:ions, prejudices or self-in-
terests of individuals or casses-by seek

courtesy as absolute international good
faith. and in all my dealings TO be, in
short, a representative of the affections.
not the passions, of the people OF the two
great nations between whom such affini-
ties, sacred, moral and intellectual, exist. "
Bayard severely criticized the tariff bill
q s a legislative defiance OF the equality OF
rights guaranteed by the constitution, as
a perilous experiment, and as increasing
the present socialistic tendencies in the
Nation.

Canine Postal Tramp.
TOLEDO, ONO, June I2.-Owney,
the famous canine postal tramp, is dead
at last. He was offic ally executed by or
der of Postmaster Brand of this city.
Soon after it was thought that the
much travelled dog had been killed in
Cleveland, an edict went forth ordering
all mail clerks to refuse passage to ths
wanderer.
"Owney" fell sick about that time. and
was cared for in st. Louis. He was then
started out again, and came here yester-
day from Frankfort, Ind. bearing only
three medals on his collar This is evil
dence that he had done very little travel
ing, as he was usually decorated at each
ston with some sort of q badge.
"Ownev" attacked Clerk Blankertz
here, infiicting painful wounds in his
hand. United States Marshal shannon
was asked to kill h;m, but the dog made
a rush for that gentleman and tore his
trousers.
Postmaster Brand, seeing that the dog
had grown so cross that it was dangerous
to harbor him, ordered the Chief of Police
to kill him, and "Ownev" met death
within q few minutes. HIS skin will be
mounted at the expense OF the Toledo
clerks and forwarded to Washington for
the official museum. The medals were
sent to Albany, where his other trophies
are stored.
'Owney' was about II years old, and
his years of travel all over the United
States and around the world have made
him the most noted dog of his time
