CASE LIKE DREYFUS'.
Captain Carter's Attorneys Place the
Convicted Man on Similar Grounds

Chicago, Aug. 3O.-Frank P. Blair,
counsel for Captain Oberlin NJ. Carter
of the United States engineer corps. in
the court martial which convicted that
officer of robbing the government, and
sentenced him to dismissal from the
army, to a five years term in the peni-
tertiary and to pay a fine of $40, 900, re-
ceived today the brief prepared for his
client by Wayne McVeagh, of Pennsyl-
vania, minister to Italy during the
Cleveland administration. The brief is
addressed to Attorney General Griggs
who is expected to review it and pre-
sent his opinion on the case to the
president.
The brief of Captain Carriers attor-
ney places the convicted man on a
pedestal with Dreyfus. Mr.. McVeagh

attorney also devotes considerable
proportion of his IS, 900 words to attack

Mr.. McVeagh declares that his client
has not asked and viii not ask for
mercy from the president. It is not
a pardon which he is demanding, but
fair trial and the orderly and natural
reference of the case would be to the
attorney general, the appointed law ad-
wiser of the president" where it has
been taken.

TRICK ON SLATE MEDIUM.
skeptic at Anderson, (Ind.,) Spiritual
istic Campmeeting Exposes an
Attempted Deception.

Anderson, Ind, Aug 3O.-The annual
camp meeting of the Indiana Associa-
ton of Spiritualists closed today with
the Rev. Moses Hull of Buffalo, N Y,
on the platform.
Benjamin Lukens, a skeptic, offered a
reward for any message coming from
spirits to him on a slate.
Some time ago Lukens proposed that
he be allowed to furnish two states.
They We're nailed together and sealing
wax placed on the nailheads.
Lukens brought the slate back to the
city and kept it two days as agreed,
and today took it back to camp. where
a medium and the committee took the
states apart.
A message written on the slate was
directed to the Rev. Moses Hull and
was represented as coming from Mrs
Colby Luthern, a noted dead spiritual
list.
Three small pictures of Mrs. Luthern
We're also found.
The medium at once declared she had
superinduced the message from the
spirit, and DR.. Hull declared the mes
sage and pictures genuine.
Lukens then told of how he took
small wooden wedges and pried the
states apart sufficiently to slip pictures
between and then fixed a slate pencil to
a wire and wrote the message. His
statement was attested by prominent
business and professional men.
DR.. Albert w. Miller, Judge Alfred
Ellison and Benjamin Lukens have Of
fered $500 for proof of genuine COM
nunication.

edly true that women could not be
driven as hard as men in a rush of
work and the heads of offices in the
treasury department almost invariably
asked for men rather than women to
fill vacancies in their offices.
He said this was probably in part
due to the fact that there were in al
most every office some women employ
es who were far from being efficient.
Some of them had grown old in the ser
vice. They were dependent upon their
work for their support. Heads of Off
ces We're probably more reluctant to
recommend the dismissal of a woman
than a man for incompetency.
IN the auditors Offices said Secre-
tary Vanderlip, linen are generally pre-
ferred to women for the reason that
women do not seem to have the faculty
of exercising as well as men that judg-
ment which must be used in dealing
with many matters in those offices. In
the office where most of the work is
done directly for the secretary's office
we have two stenographers-a man and
a woman-and they are both very eff
cient, but the general tendency seems
to be to prefer men, largely because
they can do more work under pressure
and because of their greater adaptable
ity to varieties of work.

BOON IN IRON.
Has Been Followed by Higher Prices
For Lumber.

New York, Aug. 30.-Coincident with
the boom in iron and steel is the same
showing in the lumber trade; prices
have gone up, due primarily to the
great demand for the raw material,
which in it's turn is due to fact that
money is plentiful, particularly IN the
west, from where a large Jumper oe-
mand comes
John M. scatcherd of Buffalo, presi-
dent of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers,
association. sees in these increased
prices a striking instance OF the coun-
try's prosperity.
;.The outlook in our business, as in
other business said Mr.. Scatcherd, IS
very encouraging. the situation Is
similar to that in respect to iron ana
steel-there is a lack in the supply or
raw material The demand for lumber
usually follows in the wake OF de-
mand for iron and steel and IN proper
ton as the demand for these latter m
creases so does the demand for lumber
referring more particularly to the
hardwood outlook, 1 may say that the
demand for oak, especially chartered
oak is unprecedented, while ash and
maple are scarce. Men with Whom l
have come in contact report not only
that they are getting better prices but
that collections are exceedingly salts
factory.
AT present we are getting most Of
our hardwood from Michigan, Ohio, In
and some in Mississippi We also, Of
course, import more or less from Can
ada-basswood, on which we pay 81
million tariff tax and black ash, soft
elm and some oak, on which the duty
is 81 a million feet.
I'm speaking of this matter I should
like to say a word or two on the sub
iect of the tariff. The tariff is no OBJ
lection. When the demand is good
prices are high, and we can afford to
pay the duty; when the demand is poor
and prices are low the tariff is good for
US, for the reason that it keeps out of
this country low grade of wood of
which we and Canada as well have a
surplus. Generally, the lumber trade
is like all other trades-booming-

There certainly has been a remark

attribute this, first. to the fact that
western farmers have plenty of money
and can afford to buy; second, because
buyers generally have more money, and
third, because the mills in time of de-
preston did not cut to their full ca
pacity.
'sThe effect, in my opinion, will be to
retard building to some extent, as it
costs much more money to erect
house than it did, says a year ago"

WOMEN BARRED.
They Are Being Systematically Ex-
cluded From Government Service.

4hey are Beng SYSGemaGlcaIly EA~
cIuded From Government Service.
New York. Aug. SO-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Women are being practically barred
out Of the government service in the
departments at Washington.
There is no concerted action among
the heads of departments and chiefs of
bureaus here to exclude women from
appointment, but whenever there is a
place to be filed the head of the office
almost invariably asks for man. This
right to discrimination between the
sexes is recognized by the civil service
regulations and when requisitiOn is
made for a male clerk, stenographer or
typewriter, the commission certifies
only the names of men.
Civil Service Commissioner Harlow
said that the commission had long
list of excellent women stenographers
and typewriters eligible for appoint
ment but they could not get the ap-
pointing officers to take them.
There are many little reasons, said
Mr. Harlow (which seem to influence
the heads of government offices to pre-
fer men to women. The principal one,
perhaps, is that while women may do
as well during the regular working
hours, if there is a rush and it is nee
essary to work over hours, the work
can be crowded on the men better than
on the women. The women are not so
willing to work over hours, and the
heads of offices feel more reluctant in
asking them to do so than is the case
with men,
Chief Examiner Servin, of the civil
service commission, told me there were
many reasons, small in detail, but inn
portant in the aggregate, which in
fiuenced heads of government offices to
prefer men to women. The heads of
Offices he said, prefer men partly be-
cause in the event of a rush they can
work the men harder than they would
like TO work women.
In addition to this it is found that
women cannot adapt themselves to as
great a variety of work as can men.
They may be all right in a certain line.
but when they are put on something
else it is very hard for them to get the
hang of it. They are also inclined not
only to insist on having all the privi-
leges in the way of vacations and sick
leave to which they are entitled, but
they often expect special consideration
and special faVors. OF course there are
exceptions and many women are very
efficient, but the heads of officers where
both men and women are employed al
most invariably ask for man when
they are filling vacancy"
