HOW IT BEGAN


tOriginall
Bashful Henry Dorm and Jenny
Hicks were standing on opposite sides
of the fence that lnclosed the Dorm
farm. Jenny's elbows were on the top
rail, and her chin was in the palms Of
her hands. Henry was standing a little

"Waal, it's kind O humpy underfoot

Notwithstanding Jenny's covert init
nation that Henry was edging rather
close she stood her ground.

Although Jenny spoke very mildly,
she frightened the bashful swain He
leaned dis far back as his arms would

He saw no encouragement 1t did not
occur to him that Jenny might stand

mild admouition was her only effort
to prevent his touching her rosy lips

washington, June 25. - The letter

General Knox. in which he directs him
to retain special counsel in the prose

was the choice Of Charles j.
Arte and Holmes Conrad to aid

l.. at, has been made public. 1t is as
follows
"Sir-As you know, the charges in
connection with the post Office depart
ment are now being investigated by
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow, who has had placed at bis
disposal by the postmaster general ev-
cry resource Of the department, in
Guiding the services Of Mr.. Robb, whom
you detailed from the department of
justice to the post office department
Immediately after the removal Of Mr..
Tyner.
AS a result of this investigation a
number of indictments have already
been had. and it is probable that other
indictments will hereafter be asked
for. There can be no greater offense
against the government than a breach
Of trust or the part Of a public official
or the dishonest management Of his
office, and Of course every effort must
be exerted to bring such offenders to
punishment by the utmost rigor of the
law. The district attorneys office OF
the District Of Columbia has faithfully
and zealously seconded the efforts Of
the post Office department in this mat
ter, but the amount Of work in the
Office is such as to make it difficult
without neglecting other important
public duties to devote all the time nee
essary to the prosecution Of these
cases
Il suggest, therefore, that If you can
not detail some Of your present stan
you appoint special assistants in these
post office cases not only to take up the
eases ia which indictments have been
found or hereafter may be found. but
to examine into all charges that have
been made against officials in the post
al service with view to the removal
and prosecution Of all guilty men ii

guilty men whether in the service or
not where the cases are not barred by

venue.

The opinion was written by Judge Fox, and was concurred in by all the other judges. The court holds that the board of health had no authority to let the garbage contract, but that this power belonged to the board of public improvements The board of health having no authority to award this contract, the defendant could not bribe members to do something which they had no authority to do The court quotes many decisions sustaining this position, and holds that the trial court should have sustained the de- murrer to the indictment. The court holds, also, that the ordinance under which the contract was to be awarded was not signed until September F, 1901, hence it was not in effect and no bribery could have taken place, as the evidence showed that the attempt was made September 16, 1901. The lower court failed to give proper in- structions on this point, and this, the supreme court held, was another reas- on for reversing the case.
