new POINT IN MILLER CASE.
Money Bearing Letters Re-
turned to Senders

NEW YORK, Dec. At is expected that
petition will be made by attorneys claim
ing to represent large number of depos-
itors who were caught in the Franklin syn
dicate crash, to Judge Thomas, of the
United States court enjoining Postmaster
Wilson. of Brooklyn, from returning to
their senders the mass of letters supposed
to contain large amount of funds re-
ceived in his office since the collapse of
the syndicate and held there by means of
a fraud order from the government prohib-
iting the delivery of mail to Miller's con-
cern. The motion will be based on an afi-
davit giving the gist of an interview with
Postmaster Wilson in which he is said to
have set the value of the ney-bearing
letters now in the possession of the post
office department at from $4,000 to 500, 900
with an average of $4,000 coming in each
day.
1t will be urged that the senders of
money by mail did, by SO sending, become
creditors of the concern known as the
Franklin syndicate, and are. therefore. en-
titled only to such share of It's assets as a
regularly appointed receiver. acting under
the bankruptcy laws of the United States,
shall be able to distribute to them. The
attorneys for the depositors claim that the
United States postal authorities in return

the assets of the syndicate

Retired.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Notwithstanding
the repeated statements to the effect thaS
General Joe Wheeler is about to return
to Washington to resume his seat in con-
gress, the officials of the war department
assert that they know nothing of any such
purpose on the part of the officer. Ger
tainly he has not yet applied to the de-
partment for leave of absence, although.
perhaps, it may not be necessary for him
to go further than his immediate superior
officer, Otis, to secure permission to re-
turn to the States. In that case. how
ever. his leave would be limited to sixty
days. The officials point to the decision
Of the last house that General Wheeler
had forfeited his seat in the house by
holding his army commission and make the
point that conditions are now precisely
similar, so that If the general returns, he
must either resign his commission or his
seat in congress. It is suggested that a
