MILLER CASE LIKELY
TO BOB UP IN POLITICS
Indications That President
Is Handling 1t.
PALMER MAY HAVE NO HAND
Other Unions Represented in Govern
ment Printing Office May Become
Involved-Miller Is Silent.

Again this morning Mr.. Palmer. the
Public Printer, announced to inquiring
newspaper men that no hearing would
be had today on the charges in the
Miller case. The delay on the part of
Mr.. Palmer, VINO, 1t was at first thought,
would consider these charges promptly,
tends 10 confirm the general opinion
that the matter is not entirely in his
hands. but in these of Secretary Cortel-
you and the President. and that they
will take their own time in passing
upon it.
The delay, it is said, would indicate.
further. that the controversy which has
sprung up at the Government Printing
Office will eventually assume a pOlitt-
cal phase in which the other unions
represented at the Printing Office will
become involved. AS a matter of fact
it is believed to have been due to po-
litical influence that Miller's case was
first called TO the attention of the Presi-
dent.

Views of Miller's Friends.

Miller's friends state frankly that the
real point at issue in the controversy -
the desire on the part of union men to
prevent changes in the methods of work
at the Government Printing once by
which modern methods will be intro
duced with the result that the force of
employees will be reduced. They contend
that this attitude caused the war on
Miller by the local Bookbinders' Union.
They say Miller introduced changes as
assistant foreman without first consult
ing the union leaders. and il was de-
cided to get rid of him. They hint
further at a disincIination on the port
of the International Union to take very
active part in the case and intimate that
it is showing a disposition to let the
local union fight it out as best il can.
To support this argument they cite
President Tatum's failure to act upon
Miller's appeal and his failure TO show
up in Washington before this. II is
further pointed out that the local book
binders union. which was originally
called The Society of Bookbinders, -
and was local to Washington, Joined the
International Union about ten years
ago. since which time il has had trouble
with that body. Miller's friends assert
that the local union has been a sort of
law unto itself and has not been run on
strict union lines. II 1t had been, they
say, it would not have declared Miller
expelled which he could not be until
his appeal to the president had been de-
cided against him.
Miller is still at work and has nothing
TO say for publication. He shows no
disposition TO stir things up, aud -.
silence is said TO be a puzzle
union.

Foreign Cardinals Unite.

It is said that the final development in
the campaign for the election Of new
Pope was the practical consolidation OF
the foreign cardinals under the leader
ship Of Gibbons and Kopp. who oppose
the election OF any cardinal who belongs
TO the Roman Curia.
It now seems more probable than ever
that the election Will result in com
promise. The latest mentioned in this
connection is Cardinal Bacilieri, Arch
bishop Of Verona

Finally, when all was found in order,
Oreglia locked the last door upon the

to prevent the approach of any unau-

The session this evening will be spent
in informal discussion. Tomorrow
morning the first ballot for Pope will
be taken.

POSTOFFICE CLERKS
MUCH DISTURBED
Alarmed by the Uncertain
Course of Investigation.
KEMPNER EXPECTED TO GO
Subordinate to Third Assistant Said to
Have Purchased Money Order
Blanks Beyond All Need.

Rumors of things to happen were rife
around the Postofice Department this
morning. and everybody had his hand
on his mouth when talking.
]. L. Bristow. Fourth Assistant Post
master General. who has charge of the
Investigations, was closeted with in
spectors AID other officials all the
morning and could not be seen, even
by high officials who desired to talk
with him. The greatest secrecy was
observed about the visitors to Mr.. Bris-
tow, and none of his subordinates would
give any information. 1t was generally
believed that the talk had to do with
the indictments found today and the
course of procedure to be followed in
making the arrests and admitting the
Indicted men to bail

New Names Involved.

AsC" AhNOANCA-
The greatest interest was manifested
in the department in the names Of the
men indicted. The report that of the
men to be indicted two were men against
whom no indictments have hitherto cen
returned threw clerks and officials irto
, a futter and caused unlimited specu-
latior. Developments have not followed
very fast recently. and so many men
have been mentioned in connection With
the scandals that it was impossible to
guess who were the two new victims of
the investigation.
A report was heard this morning that
Louis Kempner. chief of the registry
division of the Third Assistant Post
master Generals Office, was to lose his
position, but 1t could not be verified.
The Case of Kempner.
Mr.. Kempner came into prominence in
the middle of July by having trouble
with William NJ. Mooney. chief clerk of
the division. 1t is alleged that Mr..
Kempner sent Mr.. Mooney to make sn
inventory OF the number OF carbon
manifolding books on hand in the de-
partment's storehouse, and that Mr..
Mooney included in the report about 12.-
600 books which MI. Kempner did not
intend to be reported.
This action is said to have angered
Mr.. Kempner, who spoke harsh words -
Mr.. Mooney. and the chief clerk replied
that a repetition of the language would
result in the superintendent going out OF
the window, or words to that effect. The
action of Mr.. Kempner was reported to
higher officials. Now comes the rumor
that Mr. Kempner is about to go and the
statement is generally accepted as true
1t Is said that there were enough of
the carbon books on hand to last the
department for three years. yet more
were being bought, and that after the
books arc kept for six or eight months
their usefulness is seriously impaired
Because of this needless accumulation
OF the books, accompanied by constant
purchases, and the violence OF Mr.
Kempner in resenting Mr.. Mooney S
full report on the situation. well-in-
formed people have been expecting for
some time TO see things happen to Mr..
Kempner.

HURRAH F0R Mr.. DALTON.
The Recording Angel Dropped Tear and

Mr.. r. F. Dalton is a quiet citizen and
attends very much to his own affairs, but
there are some things which he and every
other Southern gentleman take to them
selves, whether they are directly con
fronted or not. and that is when some
smart aleck speaks insultingly about
things down here and especially when
the subject is about the women of the
country. One day last week a man in
one of the hotel Hobbies here was shoot.
ing off his lip promiscuously. He remark
ed IN the presence of a number of gen
tlemen sitting around, that it was strange
to him that the women Of the Christian
Temperance Union were against whiskey
when they drank themselves. Mr.. Dalton
sitting near, turned and demanded of the
man when and where he had seen the
drunken women; and after making an eff
fort or two to substantiate his remark
said that he saw them in Greensboro
Fhursday. Mr.. Dalton said: "I think
mat you are telling a d lie." For a
time Mr.. Dalton forgot that he ever went
to Sunday school, and for two minutes
gave the fellow such drubbing that he
will not forget soon; but he deserved
every word of it. 1t was mean insinua.
ton. IF he had seen drunken women.
which no one believes, the good ladies who
are engaged in a good work of spreading
temperance were the last people in the
world to be connected with it. Mr.. Dal-
ton did exactly right in resenting this
insult.
The women of the South do not as a
rule drink. 1t is always the exception,
and when it is known, they Immediately
fall beyond the pale of society.-High
