Fragrance and Color.

Plants with white blossoms have
larger proportion of fragrant flowers
than any others. Next come red flow
ers, then yellow, and then blue. After
these may be reckoned, and in the same
order, violet, green, orange and brown
flowers. Spring flowers contain the
greatest proportion of white flowers,
and, therefore, are those most generally
fragrant, while the reds and yellows
belong to summer.

BEAVERS SURRENDERS.
Man Wanted for Postal Frauds
Gives Himself Up.

Gives Himself Up.
New York, Sept. 8.-George w.
Beavers, the former head of the salary
and allowance division of the Postof
flee Department at Washington, sur
rendered himself in the Office Of United
States Commissioner Hitchcock in this
city to-day and gave $4,000 bail for his
appearance before Commissioner
Hitchcock on Sept. Is.
United States District Attorney Bur-
nett last week notified Beavers coun-
sci that bench warrant had been is
sued for the arrest of Mr.. Beavers
and that he would be taken into GUS
tody forthwith if he did not immedi-
ately surrender himself. The defend
ants lawyers then verbally informed
the federal authorities that they would
produce their client Tuesday.
The indictment against the former
head of the salaries and allowance di-
vision was returned two months ago,
in Brooklyn, and charges him with
having received a check for $50 from
the Brandt-Dent Manufacturing Com
pany of Middletown, Wis, which, it is
alleged, was paid to him by the firm
as part commission on a number of
automatic cashiers furnished the Pos
tai Department by that firm.

Case.
washington, Sept. S.-After deliber-
o,ing for several weeks over mass
of documents submitted by the post
of5ce inspectors, the federal grand jury
IN this city to-day returned seven in
dictments in postal cases, involving
six different persons.
All the indictments were kept off
The public record, and both the Off
oials of the district attorneys office
and of the Postofice Department re-
fused to divulge names or details of
the indictments until the parties in
dicted are arrested. The identity of
the indicted individuals thus was left
a matter of conjecture. 1t is expected
that arrests will occur tomorrow
morning, and that the Postofice De-
partnent will have some announce
ment to make during the forenoon.
The grand jurys action probably
marks the beginning of the end of the
investigation that has been in prog
ress since the middle OF last March.
VoluminouS evidence has been laid be-
fore the grand jury as the result of the
inquiry, and while the present report
of the Jury disposes of most of the
cases. there yet remain several to be
nassed upon. When the latter are dis
nosed of, according to Postmaster Gen
oral Payne, the investigation, so far as
the work at Washington is concerned,
will be at an end for all practical pur-
poses.
Several of the persons indicted to-
day live outside of Washington. They
will be arrested as soon as bench war
rants can be served.
About beavers and Stern.
Two other important events occurred
to-day in the postal inquiry. Leopold
Stern, the Baltimore contractor, who
disappeared from Baltimore before he
could be arrested on an indictment re-
turned July 81, last, was located at To-
ronto and the long delayed surrender
of George Beavers, the former head
of the salary and allowance division, to
the New York authorities took place.
The postal officials had been searching
for Stern ever since he disappeared,
and finally received word from the Ca
madam authorities that he is in To-
Tonto.
The question of extradition has been
taken up with the State Department.
The case has features similar to the
Greene-Gaynor case. 1t was then con-
tended that conspiracy was not eX-
traditable, but the State Department
took the view that the acts themselves
involved alleged embezzlement and
constituted extraditable offenses.
Stern was indicted for conspiracy to
defraud the government. He was
charged with receiving full prices for
satchels for letter carriers, including
straps at government expense. In con-
sideration of the supply of these straps
to him. for which he was paid in full,
he is charged with paying large sums
to w c. Long of this city and A. w.
Machen, the deposed head of the free
delivery service. .

COAL STRIKE FINDINGS.
Points Upon which Umpire Wright
Has Decided.


Scranton, Pa, Sept. 8.-Carroll D.
Wright, the umpire to whom was re-
ferred the five disputes between the
operators and miners representatives
on the board of Cancellation appointed
under the provisions of the Anthracite
Mine Strike Commission, filed his find
ings to-day with T. D. Nichols, secre-
tary of the board.
In dealing with the question of the
employers right to discharge men for
any cause other than of connection
with a labor union, Umpire Wright
agrees wholly with the contentious of
the operators representatives, and de-
clares that the right of an employer
to discharge without giving the cause
of the discharge is sustained by the
award of the commission.
In another case, Mr.. Wright says that
the companies should take back old
men, instead of putting on new men,
in all cases where the old men are
competent and have not been convicted
of or are not awaiting trial for crime
committed during the strike.

Their Trip to Rome.
Rome. Sept. S.-The three sisters of
Pope Plus x, who lived with him in
Venice and who arrived here yesterday,
have not found in Rome quite what
they expected. Not that they had any
formulated desires, but the sisters
thought they could not fail to be GER
tain of resuming their intimate rela-
lions with the Pontiff, while to their
unaccustomed eyes all is formality
They shrank from the curious glances
cast at them this morning when they
went all over Rome. The sisters, how
ever, could see no beauty in the ruins,
having scarcely heard of them. What
they liked best were the electric street
cars and the new wide streets, so dill
ferent from the narrow lanes of Venice.
Speaking of the Vatican, one of the
sisters said:
"how big it is. Beppi should not feel
he is a prisoner. But, how he can be
bothered with all these soldiers and
officials we cannot see."
