Kempner's Statement.

Kempner admits in his statement
he received cigars through the mails,
but says they were gifts and came
in small quantities. His couten.45n
is the liberty granted in sending gifts
from Cuba, without the payment Of
duty, was not revoked until order s45
was promulgated on Sep-ember 3, 1903.
Mr.. Kempner directly accuses AEr.
BristOw and Chief Inspector Cochran Of
receiving gift cigars in the same way,
and neither Of those officials would deny
the truth OF the assertion As an in
stance Of how the investigators treated
those who gave undesirable or unex-
Rocted evidence he cites thu case OF
Frank Bacon. a clerk in the registry
division Of the City Postohice. Mr..
Bacon made affidavit that to the best
OF his knowledge BristOw and Cochran
received duty-free cigars and he was
dismissed for his action. Neither Of the
men accused in the affidavit would dis
cuss the case Mr. KemDner wants to
know how the investigation could be
impartial when evidence against the in
vestigators meant dismissal.
The eX-chief asserts that every step
he took in the purchase Of the exces-
sive quantities Of manifold books, which
was the primary cause OF his downfall,
was done with the fun knowledge and
consent Of z. c. Madden, Third Assist
ant Postmaster General. and Of Chief
Clerk Bacon IN Mr.. Maddens Office. He
adds that his position was so hedged
around with regulations he could not
make the purchases without the con-
sent and knowledge Of these officials

BIG BUNCH OF VAGS

Heed is Paid to Order of the
Court.
TWENTY ONE CAUGHT IN BUNCH
IIowIing Horde of Harlots Housed In a
Hurry-Others Charged With Va
grancy as WeII-Grand Jury Is Get
ting In Some Excellent Work.

Just such a human bouquet as now
adorns the corridors OF the county Jail
was never before eaualled for strength,
pungency, varied odors and variety of
colors, clean sweep of the streets and
slums having been made in getting to-
gether this choice collection of rare
exotics of undoubted Senegambian i'm
portation.
Negro street walkers, who for years
have infested Americas, together with
fair sprinkling of loafers, make up the
collection.
And for this happy measure of re-
lief the thanks of the city is due Judge
z. A. Littlejohn, the grand jury and
officers of the court and city, who thus
FAR, under direction of the court, have
plucked twenty-one idle negroes with
no visible means of support.
And against this batch of 0lackness
the grand jury has already returned
indictments and eighteen of the gang
jailed, a still hunt now being institut.
ed for three others.
Never before has such a haul been
made here for vagrancy.
In the roundup yesterday were such
well known characters as Hester Co
dy, Minnie Black, Bertha Holt, Clars
Powell, Julia Melton, Ruellah Will
liams, Luella Ford, Clara Lakeland
Mary Wimbish, GeorgelIa Turner
Genie Bell, Ada Jones, Martha Car
penter and Marry Redding, fourteen
fragrant flowers.
The guitar pickers plucked lnvoiced
Harry Rutledge, Oscar Walker, Cor
nelius Jackson, Dewitt Andrew s
Lucius Covington and Oliver Tapley,
six of shade of sameness.
And a bowling mob it was in tn
county Jail yesterday.
Sheriff Bell, Chief Feagin and Off
Ger Barrow made the roundup of cor
ner ornaments. In his charge to tn
grand jury Judge Littlejohn touche,
strongly upon vagrancy and the en-
forcement of the laws thereupon. TIL
charge was highly commended, an
the result is evidenced in this whole
sale raid.
The gang will answer to the charg
of yegraney at the next regular term @
the city court.
