TYNER TURNED OUT.
Prominent Post once Department
omciaI Removed-PsBers Taken
from safe by Mrs. Tyner.

Washington. April ga most SEN
sational development OF the inyestiga-
tion OF post Office department affairs
closed Thursday, when Postmaster
General Payne announced the sum-
mary dismissal OF James N. Tyner, as
sistant attorney general for the post
office department. coupling with the
announcement the startling charge
that all the papers and records In the
safe in the latter's office had been alb
stracted by Mrs. Tyner, wife of the
discharged official, with the assistance
Of others.
1t Is suspected at the department
that the papers have some connection
with the recent conduct Of the office.
Some weeks ago turf investment con-
Germ, whose affairs were aired in court,
alleged that its operations and work
ing methods had been sanctioned by
the assistant attorney general for the
post Office department. The charges
involving the office OF the assistant at
torney general, and a lawyer formerly
connected with that Office, were venti-
lated very generally at that time and
an investigation was ordered by the
postmaster general. This was really
the inception Of the investigation that
! has spread into every part OF the de-
partment.
The complaints crystallized into n
formal request for Mr.. Tyner's resig-
nation signed by Postmaster General
Payne on March last. Mr.. Tyner had
been in exceedingly bad health for a
long time and had visited the office at
only rare intervals, leaving the office
entirely in charge Of his assistant for
months at time. He is suffering from
IN unusually severe case OF paralysis
and in consideration of this fact the
request for his resignation was based
on his i'll health.

TOO COLD FOR THE CROPS.
Low Temperature Pre-
vailed over Nearly Whole Coun-
try During Past Week.

Washington. April 29.-The follow
ing is summary OF the weather
bureaus weekly crop report:
Nearly the whole of the country
east of the Rocky mountains expert
enced unseasonably lower temper
atures during the week ending April
%, and while the rainfall in the cen
trail valleys has been light, consider
able areas receiving no appreciable
amount, farm work has made very slow
progress in consequence OF wet soil
and low temperatures. The drought
in Florida and in the central and west
gulf states, especially in the last men
toned sections, has grown more Sc
rious, aud over large areas the ground
Is too dry for termination OF seed.
More favorable conditions prevailed in
the states of the upper Missouri val
ley, and, while absence Of rain in New
England and the northern portion Of
the middle Atlantic states permitted
farm work, the weather was too cool
for growth OF vegetation. In the
Rocky mountains and Pacific coast dis
tricts the week was the most favor
able OF the season, although portions
Of California need rain.
AS In the previous week, corn plant
ing has made slow progress, more par
ticularly over the central and east
ern portions OF the corn belt and in
the middle Atlantic states, but better
progress has been made in Kansas and
Nebraska and preparations for plant
ing have been vigorously carried on in
Iowa and portions OF Illinois.
In the southern states corn has SUI
/ fered from low temperatures, and IN
the central and west gulf districts
from drought also.
While the condition OF winter wheat
continues very promising, a slight de
terioration is indicated over the cen
trial and eastern portions OF the wheat
belt as q result OF excessive moisture
and low temperatures. Rust and in
sects have appeared in some counties
In southern Missouri and in Nebraska
and portions OF Kansas the crop would
be benefited by rain. On the Pacih'
coast the outlook continues favorable
except in Washington, where muci
was winter killed.
Spring wheat seeding Is well I'D
yanced over the northern portion o
the spring wheat region, and unde
favorable conditions will be practic
