FAKE CLERKS LISTED
ON POSTOFFIGE ROLLS
Payne Unearths Extensive
SWiitiling Scheme.
CASE OF Mr.. WAKEFIELD
Baltimore Official Refuses to Refund
Money Paid to John w. Tippit
as a Boolzkeeper.

II was learned at the Postofice De-
partment this morning that a number OF
cases in which postmasters have paid
salaries TO fake" employees have been
unearthed. The accused postmasters
have been ordered to pay back to the
department the sum ren=<sented by the
salary drawn ssy the useless employees.
These disclosures We're made when
Postmaster General Payne admitted
that Postmaster Warheld has been or
dered 10 pay S, 400. the amount drawn
by John W. Tippitt, who was on the
rolls of the Baltimore postofice as a
booklSeeper at $500 per year. when he
was really engaged in acting as solicit
tor for a trust and guaranty company
Has Not Refunded Money.
Mr.. Warheld has not yet paid the
money. ana It is supposed that he is
seeking the advice of counsel. His ex-
cuse TO the department was that Tippit
was appointed 10 the office by order OF
George W R,avers, who was chief of
the salaries and allowance division.
Mr.. Payne holds that Beavers had no
right TO order a postmaster TO violate
the law. and that Mr.. Warfield should
have made complaint TO Postmaster
General Smith, with whom MIR. Warfieid
was acquainted. and 10 whom he should
have carried the story of the order.
As far as can be learned Mr.. Warfield
made no effort 10 have the Postmaster
General relieve him from the command
10 violate the law. but accepted the die
tation Of Beavers as unquestionable.
Made No Protest.
Since Mr.. P.5vne he's been in office he
has received 10 protest from Mr. War
field about Petit.
The same state of affairs has been dis
covered in other offices and the other
postmasters have paid up. Mr. Payne
said that none OF the cases which have
received action so far have been in the
New York postohlce. where Postmaster
Van Cott was accused of having allow
ed a member OF his family to draw a
salary for clerical work which was not
performed. The inspectors are now max
ing thorough examination OF the New
York office and it is thought that this

and in Cuba, A copy of that statement
is new in the hands Of Senator Foraker,
who is expected to present it 10 the
Senate at the first sign of actual oppo-
sition TO the appointment. The state
ment includes also an answer 10 the
Rathbone allegations, but its chief value
is thought TO be the strong testimony il
offers from General Wood s military
superiors as to his talent, courage, and
experience in actual warfare. Senator
Proctor, who is acting as chairman of
the committee. has asked the War De-
partment for a transcript of the record
on file there, so General Woods cham
pions are satisfied his abilities will be
spread before the Senate with all proper
emphasis
Extracts From the Record.
How important this is TO General
Woods case is evident from these ex-
tracts made from the military record

bands of hostile Indians in September,
1880. IN InG .tOQISG u lA4tt IL
Dr. Wood, then an assistant surgeon,
volunteered to command the infantry
detachment, and his service in that ca
pacity evoked the following commenda-
tons:

General Miles:
Concerning DR.. Leonard Wood, I can

that his services durnE that trying
campaign were Of the hig TEST order

those devolving upon him as a medical

officer, voluntarily performed. He sought
the most difficult and dangerous work
and by his determination and courage
rendered a successful issue of the cam
paign possible.
Voluntarily commanding the infantry
detachment. there being no other officer

TEACHERS BRUTAL
TREATMENT OF PUPIL

Barn

Newkirk, OKLA. March 31.-The
school authorities and citizens Of Kay
county are very much aroused over
the inhuman act of o. e Porter Corn,
teacher in district No :, Rock falls

year old pupil, Ewing Cook by name.
.It is alleged that the boy was dancing
behind the school house and that this
was considered by the teacher as an
intolerable offense, punishable only
by the greatest severity, regardless of
age mental conception and physical
ability of the pupil.
The boy is lying very low as re-
suit of being thrown from one end OF
the house to the other, mercilessly
beaten upon desks, and otherwise
treated worse than a dumb brute. His
kidneys are in such shape that he pas
ses only blood and the attending ply.
stefan fears the final outcome of tee
unfortunate child's condition.
Mr. Corn, the teacher, has plead at
the hands of the irate parents for
mercy. proffering every financial or
other consideration possible, if they
will only shield his good" name. The
entire ccp munity, however, is very in
dignant aid already reckless threats
have been made that the inhuman
teacher should pay for his penalty at

The matter is now in the hands @,
the school authorities who are bit
terly incensed, and the three initial

have to suffer the penalty of the law
which is very severe in such cases. 1t
is asserted in defense of the teacher
