Bad For Beavers

| New York.-Two decisions in the
case of George w. Beavers, the in
dicted postal official. were handed
down by Judge Holt in the United
States district court. In one of the
applications of Beavers to have United
States District Attorney Young of
Brooklyn and Miss Amy Renn, his
stenographer, punished for disobeying
subpoena by Commissioner Hitch
cock, is denied. Judge Holt held that
the commissioners authority to issue
subpoena was without force, the
subpoena having not been endorsed
by a judge of the district court. The
application for writ of habeas corpus
and certiorari asked in behalf of
Beavers on. the second charge against
him based on the Washington indict-
ment is granted and the arrest is va
Gated. The JUICE holds that second
arrest made on the Washington indict-
ment when Beavers was already in
court on the Brooklyn indictment was
illegal. :,
If this decision is applicable to the
other three Washington indictments it
will result in his arrest on all four in
dictments by the decision of the fed
eral court of Few York on proceedings
in Brooklyn on the Indictment This
Indictment alleged that Beavers con-
spired with CONGRESSMAN briggs and
the officials of the Brandt d ent Man
ufacturing Company to defraud the
postal department. through the sale of
automatic cashiers. Beavers had been
arrested In the New York district on
bench warrant calling for his re-
moval to the Brooklyn district on this
indictment. He had demanded exami-
nation here and had given bail when
he was again arrested on warrant
calling for his removal to Washington
fer trial on the frst Washington indict-
ment. At first he demanded examina-
tion and gave bail but later his surety.
surrounded him and his attorneys
swore ont q writ Of habeas corpus on.
the ground that his simultaneous re-
moval to Brooklyn and Washington
was impossible. Ala
''If the two proceedings for war;.
rants for removal" said Judge Holt,
resulted in an order for removal it is
obvious that such orders should not
be complied with at the same time.
My conclusion is that the arrest on the
second warrant should be vacated"

Convicted Of Robbing Oyster Beds

e s-
For some time prominent shipper
of raw oysters at Biloxi has suspected
his beds were being robbed, but could
get no clew as to who was doing it.
Suspicion rested upon Swede named
.Pascka, and when he offered to employ
one of the shuckers of the dealer
whose beds were being robbed this
dealer advised the shucker to go to
work and endeavor to find where the
supply OF oysters was obtained. He
was advised few evenings afterward
that Paacka was going ont to fish
oysters that night, and made arrange
naents to have his grounds watched.
About 9 O'Clock after he had secured
two boatloads, Pascka was caught in
the act of robbing the beds and
imprisoned.

frost--Site For Iowa's Monument
{ Satisfactorily Poorhouse Burned.

The first civil suit bas been filed al
jackson by the United States Govern
ment a. result of the land frauds
which have been under investigation
in this State for the last nine or ten
months. United States District At
torney Lee, on Instructions from
Washington brings suit against W. B.
Leak and J. p. Myers, of Covington
County. The declaration sets forth
that the Government. in January,
1902, owned valuable pine lands in the
County of Covington, and that Leak
and Myers, without the consent of the
Government, cut from this land a
certain lot of timber, which lie esti-
mated at 2S0, 900 feet Of lumber. which
they sold for $l4.0O per 1000 The
Government, therefore, asks that
Myers and Leak be made to pay the
Government the sum of So, 920 for the
lumber SO taken. It's expected that
the case will come up for hearing at
the November term of Court. It is
believed that the suit is but the be-
ginning, and that between now and
the first of the year the United States
District Attorney will institute good
many more. Mr.. Lee, while he>has
full power to take the initiative in all
criminal cases. has no power when it
comes to civil suits, and is guided by
instructions received from the Depart
ment of Justice. He states that this
suit was the only one that he had
been instructed to bring. ~
