MORE DISM|SSALS.
Three More Employees Removed
From Their Positions.
This Action is the Result of Fourth
Assistant Postmaster Generals Re-
port on Irregularities in the
Department.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Postmaster
General Payne Wednesday removed
from office Michael W. Louis, superin-
tendent of supplies of the post office
department; Louis Kempner, chief of
the registry division of the third as
sistant postmaster generals office, and
c. B. Terry, 5000 clerk in the post
office department, and directed the
postmaster at New York to remove
Otto Weis. clerk.
These removals are the first result
of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Bristow's report on the irregulari-
ties in the post Office department. In
charges did not leak out at the depart
ment until after 4 o'clock.
Following is Postmaster General
Payne's official statement:
Michael w. Louis has been remOv-
ed from the Office of superintendent
of the division of supplies because the
recent investigation shows that he in
fluenced the awarding of contracts for
supplies to favored bidders; that he
has been eXtravagant and wasteful in
the administration 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 eXtrava-
gance in sending expensive manifold
registration books to a large number
of small fourth-class post offices, and
for violating the revenue laws by a
system of petty smuggling.
&c. B. Terry, clerk in the division
of supplies, has been removed for max
ing false affidavits; attempting to OBJ
tain money from clerks under the guise
that he could influence their promo
ton; and general inefficiency."
The postmaster general also stated
that the postmaster at New York had
been directed to remove Otto Weis, a
clerk in the New York post office, for
collecting money from clerks to infu
ence legislation and to procure pro-
motions
Terry is from Indiana He was tenn
porary clerk in the post office depart
ment and was afterward removed. He
made charges that he had been dis
charged from his position by John M.
Masten, then chief clerk of the first
assistant postmaster general, but now
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. 1t is understood
that the investigation failed to sub
stantiate Terry's charges and his per-
manent removal is the result of the
failure.

began. On the battleship was the ma.
val trial board, a number of naval Off

was clear, but a stiff quartering breeze
blew from the northwest and rOughed
up the water considerably.
On the northern leg the engine at
tanned a speed of 121 revolutions a
minute and the average for the entire
trial was III.
At the conclusion of the speed test

steering abilities. She described the

Rats Scent Danger.

From New Orleans Times-Democrat.
There is an old, old adage to the eff
feet that rats will leave a sinking ship,
and the saying has become a popular
aphorism," said an old miner, "and we
find it rather indifferently applied to
any condition or any cause when men,
approaching the first signs of certain
defeat or disaster of some sort, begin
to shift and desert. Men who know
anything about sea life know that rats
will desert sinking vessel, and they
are always first in seeming the dam
ger. They are in a better position to
sniff the danger from afar. They are
closer to the leak. When the first early
drops begin to ooZe in, the rat is on
the scene, and he gives the alarm. So
much is said by way of explanation,
and for the purpose of calling atten-
ton to another fact in connection with
rat life. l recall an experience l had
a number of years ago while following
my chosen calling, that of miner of
ores. Rats are found in great num-
bers in mines, often many hundreds of
feet beneath the surface of the earth,
and the little incident ! have in mind
happened in an iron ore mine in Ala
bama With several hundred men.
was engaged in work in one of the
larger
time. There was nothing in the gen.
eral condition to warn us of impending
danger. But suddenly we noticed the
widest kind of alarm among the rats.
Hundreds of rodents began to scam
per in every conceivable direction, ap-
parently in search of some place of
safety. Say, fellers, we'd better git
out o. here said a hefty miner, as he
glanced at the scampering rats. With
in a few moments we detected a
strong odor of gas, and then we knew
that the old miners suspicion was
not as foolish as it had at first SEEM
ed to be. We got out, and in good
time. If we had remained in the
mine five minutes longer we would all
have been smothered to death with
gas. Gas filled and choked the mine
even oozing out at the top until we
could not get within fifty feet of it.
a few rats escaped. Many of them
were suffocated. But they saved the
lives of several hundreds miners, and
since that day / have had a more kind
" feeling for the rodent than ever be-
fore. Whatever else may be said of
them they are the frinds and protec-
tors of the men who work In the
mines"
