MIR. BRIsTOW'S BRIEF.
The Charges Against Messrs. Tyner,
Barrett and Perry s. Heath.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Mr. Bristow's
report on the postal investigation contains
a great deal of matter with which the read
ing public already is familiar, most of the
charges against the accused aficials hav-
ing been given out when the men were in
dicted and arrested. In describing the ad-
ministrative methods of MeSsrs. Tyner and
Barrett, of the office of assistant attorney
general of the Postoffice Department, Mr..
Bristow cites several cases. He says:
"Cassius M. Upton. publisher of a cheap
illustrated paper in Chicago. sought to ex-
tend his circulation by the puzzle plan. In
one of his schemes he submitted the mi
tails of nine leading railroads running out
OF Chicago, with the names of the roads
spelled out, emitting a few of the letters.
He offered $500 reward for full correct an
swers 10 the list. The condition was that in
order to get a prize Ii would be necessary
to send 3 for a years subscription to Up
tons Illustrated Weekly. The puzzle was
so simple that anyone could answer 1t
correctly. The result was that the $500 prize
would have been divided up until the win
ners would receive less than 5 cents each,
and this Upton failed TO distribute. He was
arrested for using the mails To defraud. AS
SiStant Attorney General Tyner protested
against the action of the postoffice inspector
in causing the arrest. And upon Barrett's
urgent appeal the attorney general, over the
protest of the district attorney, directed that
the case be dismissed"
BOND INVESTMENT SCHEMES.
In regard to the bond investment schemes
Mr.. Bristow says:
When the Louisiana Lottery Company
was broken up by the federal government
a number of bond-investment schemes
sprang up over the country embracing lot
terry features in their methods OF business.
Assistant Attorney General Thomas de-
clared, in 1899. that these so-called bond
investment schemes are more dangerous to
society than avowed lotteries Shortly after
Tyner and Barrett were installed i'm office
eight of these bond-investment companies.

Recruiting for the Guards regiment in the

A farmer In Illinois planned a coffin for him

spent many hours In trying to get a lazy car

necessary lumber on his farm, hauled 1t to the
carpenter shop and there 1t stayed. Two years
ago he insisted that the carpenter finish the work
and he took 1t up. working a little at a time,
and only recently completing the Job. The
farmer died the week after his coffin was fin

of the Dreyfus Case.

PARIS, Nov. cit Is affirmed that Cen
eral Andre, the war minister who exam
ined the Dreyfus dossier, is ordered to
verify accusations against certain officers
involved In the Dreyfus case, and the state
ment that two documents which influenced

ferred the dossier and the petition for a
revision Of sentence, shall have rendered a
decision.
This action will be taken in order to pre-
vent parliament interfering in an investiga-
ton OF a purely judicial character.

Hubbeu the Lessees

HubbeIl the Lessees
The Ware & Leland private wires
connecting Savannah with the New
York, Chicago and New Orleans trade
exchanges, mention of which has been
made in the Morning News, have been
leased to Mr.. E. B. Barbee of Raleigh.
A partnership will be formed be-
tween Mr.. Barbee and Mr.. F. c. Hub
bell to conduct the commission bust
ness contemplated in stocks, grain and
cotton.
The new firm will take an advanced
step in bringing Savannah and the sur
rounding country into closer touch with
the trading centers. They hold mem
berships in the New York, New Or
leans and Savannah Cotton Exchanges,
and their connections at the trading
centers will be among the most sub
stantial and reputable firms. 1t is the
intention to put all business through
it's regular channel by having the Or
ders executed on the exchanges to
which they may be sent. In addition,
the trade will have the advantage of
a thorough system of reporting by
which all news affecting values will be
promptly flashed over the wires for the
use of traders.
Barbee & Co. have a large spot cot
ton business at Raleigh, and are high
ly rated. They will also establish a
spot department in Savannah to be
combined with the spot cotton business
Mr. Hubbell has successfully conducted
here. The firm will make a feature of
their spot cotton department. Both
members are thoroughly versed in
every branch of the cotton business by
many years of experience. Mr. Barbee
stands high at Raleigh, where he is in
ha M q h1IGipaSS
and also a prominent promoter. Mr..
Hubbell is well known here, having
been in the cotton business a number
of years, during which he has had ex-
perience in all branches of it, He
stands well in the business community
and his popularity with both the local
and interior trade will give the new
firm their confidence and best wishes
Arrangements have been made to es-
tablish offices in the building just west
of the Cotton Exchange, which will be
convenient for business men.
