BEAVERS MUST GO
TO WASHINGTON
Commissioner Hitchcock sOyerrules
the Motion Of His Attorneys
for Dismissal.
Attorney for the Defense Declares
the Government Is Shielding
the Real Culprit.

New York, Sept. 18.-At the examina-
ton Of George w. Beavers, the indicted
postal &fficial, to-day, Commissioner
Hitchcock overruled the motion Of the de-
of the invalidity Of the indictments
The defense commended that the indict-
ment charged three separate and distinct
offenses under one section OF the federal
statutes Instead Of one as provided by law.
He also repeated his ruling that the
properly certified copy of the indictment
returned IN Brooklyn, was sufficient evil
dence to make out case of probable
cause, and to warrant the return Of the
accused man, properly identified, to the
district wherein the indictment was re-
turned.
It developed in examination and was adj
mitted upon the record by District Attor-
ney Burnett, that subpoenas had been
served by the defense upon District Attor-
ney Young in Brooklyn and his stenog-
rapher, and subpoena for the production
OF certain papers upon Postmaster Gen.
eral Payne, the defense stating that 1t
wanted the government to make out its
case before the district commissioner in
New York in order that the defense might
prove that Mr.. Beavers had nothing
whatever to do with the making Of the
contract between the government and the
fraudulent company. The subpoenas
had been ignored
For the first time on record in this
district" said Mr.. Steurs attorney for
Beavers, "the government seeks to have
this accused sent to Brooklyn without
the preliminary examination that has
been accorded every defendant arraigned
for extradition In a quarter Of a century
1--WE want to know whom the govern
ment seeks to. shield by this indictment.
We contend that If permitted to go into
this case here we will prove there Is a
lack Of probable cause to believe that q
crime has been committed So far as
Mr.. Beavers is concerned, his is case OF
absolute innocence and we hope to prove
It, But for some reason the government
seeks to suppress this evidence"
General Burnett said the defendant had
been indicted in the eastern district and
would have opportunity to prove his In
| nocence there in due time. Decisions
were quoted by the general to prove that
there was no authority by which a com
missioner could issue a subpoena for g
| person In another district. The govern
ment, he commended, did not wish to do ar
| injustice or take an unfair advantage, but
| II witnesses could be brought from al
over the country, on preliminary hearings
it would block the wheels Of justice.

Feeling just pride in the popular reputation
Feeling just ride in the popular reputation
Minnesota dairy products have obtained, and
realizing the effort 1t has cost the buttermakers

believing as we do that Minnesota butter like
caesars wife, should be above suspicion, and to

the conclusion that II we to- ma ntain the de-
servedly high reputation of dairy products
and continue to receive prices commensurate
with their worth, we must protect them from the
slightest suspicion, even of containing color1ng
matter having as an ingredient coal tar or it's
derivatives. This leads us to take firm stand
one that we believe will not only advance the
price OF our product but add assurance of their
purity and shealthfulness, and to this end we
herein rule that all Minnesota manufacturers of
DAIRY products SHALL on or before Jan. 1, 1904

coal tar dye as an ingredient. We feel assured
