this week. probably Friday, the long
looked for report of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow will be
sent to the president. 1t is now in
the hands of the postmaster general,
to whom is given the credit for be-
ginning the investigation; the name of
First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynee not being mentioned in that
connection. This omission also will
be noticeable because in conversation
Bristow, it is said, repeatedly re-
marked that Wynne made it possi-
BILE that the investigation not only
should be made but be made thorough.
His friends have not forgotten the
prominent part he played during the
first few days after the scandal be-
came public, and while he was acting
postmaster general. during which time
Payne was on a vacation.
The report criticises the 'administra-
ton of the Washington city pOstoffice,
sustaining a large part of the Tulloch
charges. AS q result of this Postmas-
ter Merritt it is now understood will
be asked to resign in spite of the per-
Eonal appeals to the president made
by Postmaster General Payne and
Charles Emory Smith. Payne will find
it A severe disappointment, but he Will
aCIuieSce and not tender his resigna-
ton as a member of the cabinet.
Other features of the report are as
follows: Abuses which have grown
up under the Vaccinations of the
Beavers-Machen ring are related in
unmistakable language; thorough re-
organization of the bureaus of which
Beavers and Machen had charge is rec
ommended; abolishing of Office of SUI
perintendent of free delivery, formerly
held by Machen, is recommended; adj
ministrative acts during the Perry s.
Heath tenure of Office as first assistant
postmaster general are criticised severe
ly. although Heath is not named di-
rcctly.

FAIL TO OPEN
SAFE BUT MAKE ESCAPE

Romulus. Mich. Oct. 22.-Residents
of this village were called out of bed
about 3 a. III. by Il report that safe
breakers had broken into the local
bank. But, though the robbers had
left a wide trail of depredatiOns no
body was able to give a definite clue
of tho direction they had taken from
their work. Evidently the PetrOwsky
blacksmith shop had been entered
first. Here the marauders secured an
outfit OF drills. cold chiSels and the
like. some of which implements were
found alongside Of the overturned safe
in the bank.
Owing to the fact that the safe lay
on its face and that orders were given
not to disturb it until representatives
of the insurance agents should ar
rive. it was impossible to say definite
ly whether the safe had been opened
or not. But it was thought that the
robbers failed to get any booty and
fed as son as the noise of the eXplO-
sion brought the citizens of the village
to the scene.

QUESTION OF OATH
IMPORTANT ONE
In COurtmartiaI of Gen. Chase of
Colorado National
Guard.

Denver, Oct. 22.-The general court
martial that is hearing charges against
Brigadier General John Chase, of the
National Guard of Colorado, considered
the question of what constitutes a le-
gal oath. f. w. McElroy, a notary of
Cripple Greek whose name appears on
the habeas corpus return made by Gen
eraI Chase, which forms the basis of
the perjury charge against him, testi-
fed that the general admitted that the
signature to the return was his, but
McElroy also testified that there was
no ceremony of swearing to the sigma
ture. although General Chase raised
his hand and asked McElroy if he
wished to swear him.
McElroy, however, according to his
own evidence, waived this requirement
Attorneys for General Chase took the
ground that the essentials of an oath
such as perjury could be predicated
upon are lacking. After long consid-
Grafton the court martial asked attor-
neys on both sides to submit briefs on
the question involved and adjourned
for the day.

COMPLAINT Is
GIVEN AIRING
Important Tax Case Heard Before
State Supreme
Court.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. pa very i'm
portant case involving the appraise-
ment by the state board of equaliza-
tiOn of the capital stock of corpora
tons was heard by the supreme court.
The case was that in which the pro-
prietOr of the HUB Chicago cloth
ing store, appealed from the decision
of the superior court of Cook county,
which had refused to issue an injnnc-
tion restraining John ]. Hanberg, coun-
ty collector of Cook county, from col
lecting the city, school, town, park,
sanitary and library taxes extended
upon the appraisement made by the
state board of equalization on the
ground that said appraisement by the
state board was unconstitutional.
Attorney Julius \. Johnson argued
the case for the appellant and Frank
e. Shepard for Cook county. Attorney
Johnson contended that the appraise-
ment by the state board of eQualiZa-
tiOn was unconstitutional because only
a portion of the corporations of the
state are included in the Jurisdiction
of the board, others, such as manu-
featuring and similar corporations, be-
ing excluded. Attorney Shepard said
that all corporations are appraised
alike on all their property, the only diff
ference being in the machinery pro-
Yided for making the appraiSement.

BIG SMUGGLING
SCHEME FOILED
Jewels Worth $4,000 Taken From
French Captain at New
York.

New York, Oct 22.-What officials
of the custom house declare to be
the largest seizure of smuggled goods
ever made from an incoming passen-
ger was made today, when diamonds
and other jewels valued at $25, 900
were taken from Capt. s. Gelat, a re-
tired captain in the French marine
service. Gelat was a passenger on
the Teutonic. He was arrested and
the jewels sent to the public stores.
He insisted he is not a smuggler, but
that he was bringing the stuff here
for friends.

the options in his name. According to
Nixon secrecy was observed in paying
the vendors only because Promoter
Young did not want them to know
what was being paid for each plart.
There has been much mystery over the
cutting Of the checks given to the ven
dOrs, and it is possible that the eX-
PLANTATION of Nixon will clear it away.
Charles Canda was the only other
witness of the day, taking the stand
before Nixon was called. He testified
that the Canda Manufacturing COM
pany for which 81. 100000 in cash and
securities was paid had plant at
Carteret, n. J., built for the manu-
facture of car wheels. but that at the
time of its purchase it was turning
out some experimental work in motor
carriages. 1t had made about 100 ma
chimes and employed about forty men.
He said that plant would have been
useful in connection with some of the
operations of the shipbuilding COM
hinat ton. He also said that the plant
mad never earned anything.
Charles NJ. Schwab and Max Pam
attended the hearing. They came to
be sworn, but remained interested lis
teners to all the testimony. They will
testify later in the week.

In reply to questions Payne said
the discharges were the result of dis
closures made by the RristOw report.

"and am free to say that my action
today was the result of its perusal."
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 con-
duct there is some reflection,
and whose case hangs in the bal
ance. They were not implicated so
much as those whose cases have just
been 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 enjoyed
confidential relations with George w.

ing acted as a medium through which

Terry is from Indiana. He was tenn
porary clerk in the postoffice depart
ment and was afterwards removed.
He made charges that he had been
discharged from his position by John
NJ. Masten because he had refused to
give money to Masten for his reten-
tion, and the president directed his
reinstatement. 1t is understood that
the investigation failed to substantiate
Terry's charges, and his permanent re-
movaI is the result of that failure.
