Two Dromios of THE HERALD
blew into the general merchandise
and manufacturing establishment
of H. NJ. Fields this morning, and
attracted by savory odors coming
from the back lot they made inves-
tigation. 1t was found that several
workmen were busy in the old
farm-like way Of killing hogs. The
norther that has been blowing since
yesterday was taken advantage of
by Mr.. Field and several fine pork
ers were slaughtered. Mr.. Field has
a process by which he preserves and
cures his pork and converts it into
bacon. He showed several pieces
of bacon made last month, that is
as fne-in fact finer and sweeter
than the average packing house
bacon. He also preserves the feet
and gave the Dromios some pigs
feet for lunch. They proved rich
and finely favored. Mr.. Field
manufactures brooms the equal o!
the best in the market. he has
thoroughly fitted up general mer-
chandise store, excepting dry goods
and is doing a good business.

ment, and directed the postmaster al
New York to remove Otto Weis, g
clerk. These removals are the first re.
suits of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow's report on the irreg.
ularities in the postofice department
The postmaster general made an Off.
cial announcement Of his action as fol
lows:
Michael w. Louis has been removed
from the Office of superintendent of the
division of supplies because the recent
investigation shows that he influenced
the awarding of contracts for supplies
to favored bidders; that he has been
extravagant and wasteful in the ad-
ministration of his Office, and that he
has paid excessive prices for supplies
TO favored contractors.
Louis Kempner, superintendent
registry system. has been removed for
incompetent and negligent administra-
ton: for wasteful and reckless extray-
agance In sending expensive manifold
registration books to a large number
Of small fourth-class postofiices, and
for violating the revenue laws BY o
system of petty smuggling.
&C. B. Terry, a clerk in the division
Of supplies, has been removed for max
ing false affidavit; attempting to OBJ
tain money from clerks under the guise
that he could influence their promo
ton, and general inefficiency."
He declined to say whether there
would be other removals as a result Of
the report, but It is understood that
while a few others may follow, there
will not be any wholesale dismissals.
1t is stated that there are three or four
other employees upon whose conduct
there is some reflection and whose
cases hang in the balance. They were
not implicated so much as those whose
cases were acted upon, and some OF
them may remain permanently in the
postal service. though possibly not in
their present positions.
Weis, the New York clerk, who has
been relieved. is said to have Dljoyed
confidential relations with George w
Beavers. late superintendent of the
salary and allowance division, and he
is charged with having acted as a me.
dium through which other clerks in
the New York postoffice were commu-
nicated with.
Terry is from Indiana. He was TEN.
porary clerk in the postoffice depart
ment and was afterward removed. He
made charges that he had been dis
charged from his position by John NJ
Masten, then chief clerk of the frs
ssistant postmaster general. but nov
assistant superintendent Of the rail
way mail service. because he had re
fused to give money to Masten for his
retention, and the president directed
his reinstatement. II is understood
that the investigation failed to sub
stantiate Terry's charges. and his per
manent removal is the result of tha
failure.

WIDOW OBJECTS
To BRYAN LEGACY
II Nebraskan Insists Upon
Accepting 1t She Will
Contest Will
BENNETT THOUGHT He NEEDED It

New Maven, Conn, Oct. z2.-As a
climax Of the hearing on the applica,
tion for the probating of the will OF
the late Pldlo S. Bennett, accompany
ing which was a sealed letter which
William ]. Bryan testified was a re-
quest that he accept $4,000, Judge
Stoddard, who represents Mrs. Bennett,
declared that If Mr.. Bryan insisted
upon receiving the fund she would con-
test the Will Mr.. Bryan in reply said
that not one cent Of the money would
he allow either his wife OF his children
to receive. unless Mrs. Bennett were
willing. He did. however, intend to
ask the court to decide the validity Of
the bequest, so that in case it was de-
clared legal he could distribute the
money among educational and charit-
able institutions.
During the hearing Mr.. Bryan intro
duced a mass Of correspondence be-
tween himself and Mr.. Bennett from
the year 1896 to 1900. He read num-
Der of the letters aloud in order to
show that Mr.. Bennett repeatedly made
o.ters of financial assistance to him.
On four occasions, according to the
witIess. Mr.. Bennett sent him money
to AIN him. the amount in all aggre-
eating $500. He related that in May
1900, lQr. Bennett came to Lincoln
Neb., tS discuss the provisions of his
will, antN told Mr.. Bryan that he wished
him to a ecept bequest Of $4,000 be-
lieving IL ut he would need it later. A
suggestion made by Mr.. Bryan at that
ime was ttN the effect that If Mr. Ben
aett 50 desi-ted, he could embody it in
aerequest to Mrs. Bennett in a letter
to be left W, th the will. He further
suggested thai. the money be left in
trust to hims, " to distribute among
educational an,l philanthropic institu-
tions. After Mr.. Bennett returned east
he executed his will and sent copy
to Mr.. Bryan, of What, he said, was the
letter which he LIFT with his will for
Mrs. Bennett.
When Mr.. Brya MS statement had
been concluded. Judge Stoddard said
that the will would be contested by
Mrs. Bennett if Mr.. Bryan sought to
secure the money. elieving that Mr..
Bryan had no equitable right to it.

Berlin Believes Negotiations Favora-
BILE to Japan Are Nearing End.
Berlin, Oct. 22.-The German gov
ernment takes a cheerful view of the
Russo-Japanese difficulties. Russia
has conveyed assurances to Germany
that she will keep strictly on the de
fensive, even If Japan occupies Corean
ports in force. japan may act aggres-
sively toward Corea without Russia
being affronted thereby or making a
counter stroke. The only Limitation
Russia places on Japanese action is
that she must not cross the Yalu
river
The impression that might be de
rived from the foregoing definition OF
Russian policy, 1t is pointed out here,
is that the negotiations are nearing
an end favorable to Japan. But. while
the result of the negotiations is still
pending. precautionary military prep.
arations on both sides are going on.
