PARK COMMISSION
OR BOYS WERE TO BLAME
Rubbish No Longer to Be Burned
at Ninth and K Streets.

The Commissioners today received the
report Of the investigation into the
burning Of rubbish at Ninth and X
Streets northeast. The report was
made by Lieutenant Daley. who learned
that the parking commission has for
more than a year been depositing and
burning rubbish at that place.
The rubbish consisted of brush wood.
leaves, and branches OF trees. etc. and
IT was said the men were in the habit OF
leaving without extinguishing the fire
Small boys in the neighborhood would
add their contributions OF combustibles
and continue the burning throughout
the day and evening.
Lieutenant Daley does not know
whether the responsibility rests with
the boys OF the neighborhood or the
parking commission. but Major Sylves-
ter has recommended that the rubbish
.te carted away and disposed of at some
other locality.

GONZALES AGGRESSIVE,
EXPRESSION TRAGIC"
Witness Testifies She Fear

Lieutenant Governor Said He Would
Shock South Carolina, As
serts MI. Blease.
THREATENED A TRAGEDY

LEXINGTON, S. c.. Oct. s-The prin-
cipal feature in the T1llman murder trial
today was the testimony of Col. E. l..
Blease. candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor when TTllman ran, and that OF
Mrs. NJ A Evans, mother OF the Hon,
Hub Evans, State dispensary director.
Mr.. Blease said that on the night be-
fore the campaign meeting in Columbia
in 1902 Tillman had said that IL Gonzales
continued his threats there would be a
tragedy that would shock South Caro-
lima. DR.. Adams had previously testi-
fed to the same expression, but he did
not mention that Tillman had said any
thing about Gonzales threats as being
the cause of the threatened tragedy.
Mr.. Blease said thatof his own knowl-
edge Tillman did not go armed during
the campaign, but that witness had
given him a pistol on the occasion of the
meeting at Columbia. because II was ex-
pected by Tillman that he would be at
tackled by Gonzales.
Mrs. Evans said that she had heard
two men talking in the lobby of the SEN
ate the day Of the homicide, and she an
ticipated a tragedy. She was not al
lowed to say what she heard. She met
Gonzales shortly before the shooting
ard. anticipating something, she noticed
him particularly. His demeanor was ag-
gressive and his expression tragic. He
had his hands in his pockets. and in her
judgment he had more in his pockets
than his hands.

OLD STORIES REVIVED

Gossip in the Postoflce Department
this morning was largely concerned
with the reasons for the visit yesterday
of Charles Emory Smith, ex- Postmaster
General, to Postmaster General Payne.
Mr.. Payne, when seen yesterday, said
the~visit had nothing to do with the re-
port of Messrs. Bonaparte and Conrad
upon the Tulloch charges. Instead, ne
said, the visit had to do with an i'm
portant matter which has never ap-
peared in the newspapers, and which in
terested number of prominent persons
in the postal service.
"The Question of the Hour"
What this important matter may be
is the question of the hour in the de-
partment. The fact that there is some
thing of great Importance which has
never been made public was ascertained
this morning. but not the slightest in
timation of it's real nature could be OBJ
tanned, and high officials not in the
secret expressed great surprise over the
statement.
Every phase OF the postal investiga-
tfon has been so thoroughly discussed in
the newspapers 1t was thought that there
was nothing left that would create sur
prise. The only theory advanced was
that the object Of Mr.. Smiths visit was
TO confer with Mr.. Payne about the
charges made at various times that
frauds exceeding all others in the de-
partment exist in the railway mail ser
vice.
There has long been something OF 3
demand that the contracts of the rail-
way companies with the department be
investigated as well as the alleged habit
Of certain members of Congress OF mall
ing inordinate quantities of bulky public
documents just at the time that 1t is en-
gagged in it's supposedly secret weighing

OF the hearing, Acting Attorney Gen.
eral Christiancy recommended that the
postoflce inspectors make another in

All Of the fugitives who are in Mexico

mentioned. John X. Murrell, former
member of the house of delegates. went
to Mexico to escape trial, but arterward
returned and became States witness
Could Easily Escape.
In discussing the need of extradition
treaties with ali foreign countries, Mr.
Folk showed that the demand is imme-
diate, as In the cases of men who went
in for wholesale boodling no bond large
enough to hold the defendants could be
obtained. Nineteen persons convicted
in connection with the Missouri scan
should obtain bonds pending appeal OF
their cases nothing could prevent their
escape to foreign countries, and with
out extradition treaties they could not
be returned TO this country.
"AIl offenses are political in a way
said Mr. Folk, lin the sense that they
are crimes against the government
through the breaking of government
laws. The question of politics should
not be brought into cases Of boodline
or bribery. A boodler is not Demo
crat. nor is he a RepubIIcan-he is a
criminal That is the only way to look
at IL
'If yoa look over the history OF neeo-
tiations OF extradition treaties. you viii
find that new crimes have been made
extraditable merely as necessity de-
manded the change.
For long time murder and larceny
were the only extraditable offenses in
cluded in United States treaties. Then
the increase in the number of bank
cashiers peculations and flight of the
embezzlers to Canada and Mexico led 10
embezzlement being included in the
treaties, until now there is no haven for
this class Of criminals.
Extradition Treaty Needed.
THE epidemic of boodling and brfb
cry unearthed in the last year at St.
Louis and the subsequent exposures in
connection with the Postofice Depart
ment investigation have brought to light
more cases of this character than in fifty
years before. The demand for more ef-
fective extradition treaties cannot be
questioned"
Mr.. Folk has been mentioned for the
Democratic nomination for governor OF
Missouri, and also for the Vice Presi-
dental nomination on the Democratic
ticket. He has made a record in st.
Louis which would insure national sup
port, but he says he IS not discussine
politics. and will not do so until he has
| more time.
