Service Commission has called the at
tention of the Postof1ice Department to
what, it alleges, are erroneous state
ments regarding NJ W. Louis, former
chief of the supply division of the Post
office Department, in Fourth Assistant

The commission says Louis was not
given a special examination, as stated
in the report, but that the examination

Louis was employed by a temporary
certificate for two or three months
Regarding Mr.. Bristow's statement
that Louis received a rating of fifty
points for experience gained during his
temporary service the commission says
that rating was given for the expert
ence that Louis gained while outside

COMMENTS UPON BEHAVIOR
OF WIVES OF MINISTERS
Bishop Huntington of New York
Says Some of Them Are Too
Worldly.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, Dec. LIN his
monthly message, just published,
Bishop F. D. Huntington Of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese of Central
New York comments pointedly upon
the behavior Of ministers wives. He
says:
The clergyman is apostolically hidden to
order well his household, but there are some
wives who, notwithstanding their marriage
vows. will not be ordered The radical and
comprehensive fault or sin is worldliness OF
mind. More than one pastor has been dis
PLACED, nIore than one ministry has been sac
rificed by the dressy. pleasure-seeking or silly
partner Of a diligent pastor hard working
priest.

Salisbury Resumes His
Testimony Against
BoOdlerS.
Defense Fails to Weaken His
Story by Rigid Cross
Examination.
Several of the Accused Officials of
Grand Rapids Intend to Waive
a Preliminary Hearing in
Police Court.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Dec. l.
Although the features of the examina-
ton of ex-City Attorney Lank K. Sails
bury in the water Doodle case in the
Police Court to-day were lacking in
sensation to compare with yesterdays
startling revelations, his testimony
was intensely interesting because of
voluntary statements made by the wit
ness while under cross examination.
His testimony involved no new names.
Salsbury's testimony in the case of
Alderman Depagler and ex-Aldermen
Muir and McCool was completed at
the morning session, but the case
against Alderman Ellen of the First
Ward occupied the attention of Judge
Haggerty all the afternoon and Sails
bury's cross examination was not COM
pleted when court adjourned. The di-
rect examination was brief in each
case, it being confined by Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney Ward to the
payment of money by Salisbury to the
Aldermen for their votes and influence
in carrying the water deal through the
Council.
1t was reported tonight that ex-Al-
derman Donovan, Aldermen Mol, John
son, Stonehouse, Slocum, McLachlin
and Lozier, and Corey P Bissell ex-
members of the Board of Public Works,
who are now under arrest, will go into
court tomorrow and waive examina-
tion. In this case they will be held to
the present term of the Superior Court
for trial. This will conclude the pre-
liminary examination of the men al
ready arrested through Salsbury's con-
fession.
Salisbury was the first witness called
this morning. He testified that he
gave Alderman Depagler $3.50 at about
the same time that he did the others
he bribed; the currency being deliv-
cred in Salsbury's office of the City
Hall.
BUYS ALDERMANIC SUPPORT.
Il told him that he could have $1,000
ultimately" said Salisbury, "and 1 ex-
planned how wanted him to support
our proposition. He agreed, and later
we entered into an agreement by which
he was to receive from $4,000 to $4,000 in
water bonds"
Salisbury said that he made Depagler
a uSdNlSI OllCI IHdu was at nrSL con-
templated because things. had come to
such pass in the Common Council that
In order TO stand by the deal man had
to have little more courage and he
wanted Depagler to stiffen up. All Of
the Aldermen were paid separately ex-
cept in the case of ex-Alderman Kin
ney, Salisbury testified, and he thought
Cory p. Bissel1 was present when that
payment was made. Then Attorney
Smedley took up Salsbury's confession.
He made Salisbury acknowledge that he
had told the story not only before the
prosecutor, but also before Judge New
ham, who will be the trial Judge unless
a change of venue is obtained. He said
he hoped to be treated leniently.
Depagler's case was then adjourned
until next Monday.
Ex-Alderman Muir's examination fol-
lowed. Salisbury swore that it was at
first understood that Muir, who was
known as Honest john" was to re-
ceive $1,000 In cash and later 1t was
agreed that he was to have $4,000 in
bonds.

Chicago east had been raised.

!
Williams said that Under the guise
of a sacred duty" to stand pat the
opposition was supplying a shelter
the American people, while selling to
the foreigner cheaper than the foreign
er could manufacture.
Hepburn of Iowa. replying to the
statements made by Williams, quoted
figures and declared that the country
never was in better condition and that
this was due to the Republican policy
of protection. He asked if the condi-
tion of the laboriug man in the United
States then. was better than now.
Yes. .yesl' came from the Demo-
cratic side, whereupon Hepburn de-
clared 1t never was better than to-day
He said the finances Of the country
never were better. The Democrats
should be ashamed to talk as they did,
in view of the splendid conditions
which now existed under the Repub-
lican policy of protection
Replying to Williams charge that a
shelter was given the trust, Hep
burn gave figures in connection with
the steel and iron industry, comparing
and saying that the Republican policy
had brought about the good conditions
cited. He said he could see why the
farmers of Iowa and Kansas spurned
the gentle assurances of the gentleman
from Mississippi that the Democrats
were their friends.
GRoSVENoR SCORES SENATE.
Grosvenor of Ohio. the last speaker,
replied to the charges of dereliction
made by the Democrats, saying that
he believed the House stood higher in
the estimation of the people than ever.
Speaking of the action of the Senate
in connection with the Cuban bill,
Grosvenor said the Senate reported the
bill back, and it was assumed that the
Senate wanted to stay here for some
purpose, so it did not offer any resolu-
ton to adjourn.
1T would have been almost an insult
for the House to have offered one" he
said. What right had we to assume
that the Senate Of the United States
would stop-would balk-and refuse to
go on2 They never had done such a
thing before, and they have not done
so now. There is some wise-it may be
scrutable-reason, but 1t is a wise
one, for it comes from the greatest par
body on earth, and greater
than any in heaven. So. now are we
waiting for what? For the Senate to
say to US that they are through with
that bill for the present and want to
adjourn. We cannot slap the Senate.
in the face by adopting a resolution
that we want to adjourn. They are un-
der the same call that we are, and have
not done what we have done-dis-
charged our duty. 1 assume that they
are waiting to consider more fully the
character Of that legislation They
know but little about it, 1t just came
from the House: they did not have it
but few days. 1t is true that, un-
officially, we know that they baked on
the whole business and will be ready
at some future time-no doubt some
time during the present week-to pass
that bill unless they send us word that
they want to adjourn"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The House,
after having been in session for a little
more than an hour to-day adjourned
until Friday. The time was chiofy con-
sumed in a tariff debate, When Payne
had offered the motion TO adjourn Will
liams. the minority leader, suggested
that they would like about thirty min
utes on a side for debate. whereupon
Payne asked the consent of the House

In terming it talk" instead of de-
bate, the Speaker evoked laughter from
both sides of the House

humorous vein, criticized the majority.
while Williams of Mississippi and
( Gaines Of Tennessee dwelt on the tariff
policy of the Republicans.

pllCdleu yesterday.
The case of ex-Alderman James c.
McCool was then taken up, Salisbury
swearing he had asked McCool to be-
come a member of the special counsel
water committee Of seven and that he
had agreed.
'I finally paid him s. and he was
to have $4,000 in bonds in addition"
Salisbury admitted that when he
promised the Aldermen the. bonds he
never expected to deliver them. be-
lieving that no contract for furnishing
water to the city would be signed.
Both the Muir and McCool cases were
postponed until Monday
State representative Henry B. Van
dercook, implicated by Salisbury, has
issued a statement in which he de-
clares that he emphatically refused to
introduce water bill in the Legislature
and that he never accepted a favor in
connection with the water deal

HAD PLENTY OF MONEY.

Muir had already taken a stand IA
vorable to the Bailey Springs plan and
1t would be hard to get him to switch
and explain his action" said. Salisbury.
1--WE gave him the larger inducement
because of his position. Muir never took
any positive action in favor of the Lake
Michigan deal until after he was prom
ised the $4,000 in bonds. We had plenty
of money in sight to reward our friends,
and If the Lake Michigan deal had gone
three days longer we would all have
been millionaires."
Salisbury was given severe exam
ination by Attorney Smedley, who tried
to Din him down to details, in regard to
some of which Salisbury was in doubt
He could not tell the date upon which
he paid Depagler nor could he tell GER
tainly whether he promised Depagler
$4,000 or $4,000 worth of bonds. He said
that some of the Aldermen were prom
ised the first amount and some the
latter.
Salisbury testified that he intended to
bleed all the outside parties and then
90 before the Common Council, ex-
ppse them and keep the money. Muir's
attorney then sought to show that
Salisbury could not have paid out the
amount to the Aldermen that he
claims, because of his heavy personal
EXPENSES. but Salisbury repeated that
their figures were wrong. He was un-
able to state his expenses at the time
of his arrest in Chicago, nor during his
trial here. He said he kept no cash ac-
count. but that he did keep a memo
randum of the amounts which he paid
the various Aldermen.
MAY MAKE MORE ARRESTS.
Couldn't tell within $4,000 or $4,000
what my trial here cost me-" he said.
"I raised every cent l could in every
vay and spent it. / borrowed every
cent I could and then Cory Bissen
went around the Aldermen and col
lected money from all of them to help
nv defense. Bissell said Muir con-
tributed. l have forgotten whether
the amount was SO or s25.''
The Prosecuting Attorney refused to
give any definite information as to how
many warrants will be issued in the
next batch or how far he will go in

TO SCARCE CONVICT Campo.
Governor OF Georgia Orders lnyestisa-
ton OF Charges.

Atlanta, Ga, June Ex-Governor
Terrell has ordered an investigation
of the misdemeanor convict camps OF
Georgia, because of the evidence pre-
scented to him that these camps are
hotbeds OF brutality.
The camp to be first investigated is
that of Breach brothers in Oglethorpo
county. The governor in his order
charges that Illegal acts are commit
ted there including cruel and inhu-
man MISREPRESENTATION of punishment
upon convicts by persons unauthorized
by law, and failure to provide propss
food. clothing, tobacco, and sleeping
quarters, as required by law. 1t is
alleged that the convicts have almost
been cut to pieces by whips and that
they are huddled together at night like
brutes.
