KELLEY TELLS ABOUT HIS MONEY
:sECRET or THE CHECK.
The st. Louis Briber Now Seriously
duplicates Former Lieut..
Gov. Lee.

d. J. Kelley, who fed to Niagara
on-the-Lake, as the result of the st
Louis. Mo-, legislative bribery indIct
ments, has broken the silence in rela
tion to the now celebrated $1,000
check, which he gave to Robert Lee
for his brother. John NJ. Lee, former
lieutenant governor of Missouri. The
check in question was dated March
and Lee after holding il Tor two weeks
returned 1t and told Attorney General
Grove that II was bribe money. Kel.
ley, against who there are two indict.
ments for the issuing of this check,
makes an astonishingly frank state
ment In regard to the matter and seri-
ously duplicates Lee. From the time
that the legislative session of 1903
opened, Kelley says he received re-
peated messages both by wire and let
ter from Lee begging him for money.
He was sorry for the distress of the
former lieutenant governor, he says,
but he felt that he had done enough
for him during the preceding two
years and was tired of supplying his
financial wants. According 10 Kelley,
on March rs, Lee went to New York,
and asked him for some money that
he had promised him. Kelley replied:
Il don't consider that you have done
anything for me, but guess | can let
you have thousand" When Kelley
reached st. Louis week later he
handed the $1,000 check to Robert E.
Lee at the Planters hotel. March 81.
Kelley received the following written
request signed John A. Lee: Paper
you gave Bob cannot be used at pres.
ent; | will have 1t returned and you
can send New York exchange payable
to Mrs. Lee" This Kelley refused to
do. Now" said Kelley, "if | attempt
ed to bribe Lee in that instance, why
did he not mention all the checks OF a
similar nature that had sent to him 4"
Mr.. Kelley then showed correspon-
dent nine other checks for sums aggre-
eating $2,250, which he said he sent
Lee between November 21, 1901, and
December IA, 1902.

HEDGES DISMISSED.
Superintendent City Free Delivery Of
Postoffiee Department Is Let
Out by Officials.

Charles Hedges, the superintendent
OF the city free delivery service of the
postohice department. has been dis.
missed. He Is accused Of having falsi-
ned his diary and Of having lent his
travelling commission to a friend who
wanted to take a trip. He is accused
OF having reported himself at various
places on public business when, as a
matter of fact. he was hundreds OF
miles away on private business. In
this way. II Is charged, he drew money
from the treasury to which he was not
entitled for travelling expenses. One
OF the instances when he did that was
on October 25. 1900. when he said he
was at Joplin. Mo. The department
maintains he was at Mansfield, o.,
his old home. attending the funeral OF
the late John Sherman, who was
friend OF his. Hedges uncle, Henry
c. Hedges, was Sherman's law partner
and lifelong friend, and confidante.
On December Z, 1899. Hedges swore
he was at San Antonio investigating
carriers service" when, as a matter
OF fact, he was in Mexico examining
mining property. For this he received
81 per diem. Another time he was
acting in place of A. w. Machen and
drawing per diem for work in Phila.
delphia, New York and other Eastern
cities. Machen knew that Hedges had
been at his office all the time, but II
is said. he passed the bills turned In
by his assistant. Hedges and Machen
have been boon friends for years.
They have run the free delivery part
of the service. Machen making the
rural his speciality and Hedges the
city service. They and II. II. Rand
were interested in the same mining
propositions and the insinuation at
the department Is that Hedges looked
after the mining property while sup
posed to be away on official business.
The statement issued by the depart
ment says there are many other in.
stances of similar Justification. but
these were considered enough to Jus
tify the removal. Hedges says he will
not make any effort to have himself
reinstated. He says the so-called falsi-
fications result from carelessness In
noting the places where he was upon
certain days.

THE ART OF THE SHORT STORY.
Its Supreme Advantage Over the
Long Novel.


While the novel has its o-gn proper
place, CT course It may we'll be con.
tended. says a writer in Sunset Maga.
zine, that the short story is the true
form Of prose fiction as an art; 1t be-
ing the only form which may be read
through directly without . consider
able pause intervening to break the
continuity Of the impression. And
even II. as 1t may be urged. cne were
to read a novel through without stop
ping, the work itself. IL long, is neces-
sarily broken into string of episodes
Thus the short story has, what the
novel cannot have. "totality." Great
conciseness, whicn is frequently lack
ing In the novel, Is the prime virtue in
the short story; so 1t may be urged
that even as a form In which the fu-
ture novelist shall serve his appren-
ticeship, the short story is enormously
important.
In American and France the shcrt
story Is a permanent institution. AS
to the quality of those produced by the
Americans, one has but to pick up a
copy of any of our better magazines to
discover what careful work is be-
stcwed upon them, and to be con.
vinced of their general excellence.
The whole trend of French thought be-
ing toward compression In expression,
that language is especially ntted for
this form, and one cannot do better
than to take as subject for study in
construction such as master as Mau-
passant, for instance.
