CHARGES AGAINST HEDGES.
still Another POstOHce Man Is I'm
der Fire.

Washington, June discharges
against Charles Hedges, superintendent
of the city delivery service of the Post
office Department, alleging that he has
pressed claims before Congress, solic-
tied employees in the service to take
stock in a mining company and other
Irregularities, are under investigation
by the inspectors of the Postoffice De-
partment. The charges were presented
to Postmaster General Payne, and re-
ferred by him to Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow.
The allegation that Mr.. Hedges went
to the Capitol during the last session
of Congress, and urged the passage of
a claim then pending, was made at that
time. Mr.. Hedges was Immediately
called upon for statement which, 1t
is understood, is now on file in the de-
partment. Since then other charges
have assumed definite shape.
Mr.. Hedges was an assistant to for
mer Gen. Supt. August w. Machen of
the free delivery service, now under
Indictment.
The charge relating to the sale of
stock refers to a gold mining company,
of which Mr.. Hedges is stated to be
president. The charge is that stock
of this company was sold to posrmas-
ters while Hedges was In charge of
the entire city branch of the free de-
livery system, and that stock of the
company was given to private secre-
taries of representatives IN Congress.

SEARCHING FOR VICTIMS
OF OREGON'S FLOOD.

Heppner, Ore, June 1S.-The number
Of bodies recovered from the food
ruins was 1913 up to tonight. Fifteen
bodies were found to-day in drifts
along Willow Creek.
Although the missing list is reduced
by the discoveries made to-day, it is
likely that the missing and unknown
list will be further increased by
strangers whose baggage was found
to-day. The number of missing re-
mains from SIS to CO.
A list of valises and trunks prepar-
ed to-day establishes the fact that
from fifteen to twenty transient went
down in the flood. The number of
dead and missing will probably reach
225.
Two thousand men and hun
dreds of horses are at work
to-day bringing order out of
chaos. The relief fund in sight APP
proximates $1,000. Parties of friends
and relatives are searching the valley
for miles for clues of bodies of the
missing. One trunk recovered is mark

CALLS FOR PUNISHMENT
OF THE REGIClD
Russia Holds That II should BE
Melted Out.


st. Petersburg. June 1S.-An official
note was published in the Gazette to-
day, recognizing Prince Peter Kara
georgevitch as King of Servia and
welcoming his accession. The note
declares that It Is incumbent upon
King Peter to avenge the assassina-
tons of King Alexander and Queen
Draga. The note says:
The imperial government, while
hailing the election of the new mon
arch, scion of a glorious dynasty. and
wishing all success in the task he
has so well begun, to the supreme
mead OF the Servian people, which is
allied to Russia by ties of religion, can
nevertheless not refrain from express
ing the confident hope that King Peter
VIII be able to give evidence of his
sense of justice and firmness of will
by adopting measures at the outset to
investigate the abomnable misdeed
winch has been committed and TO mete
out rigorous punishment to those trait
orous criminals who have stained
themselves with the infamy attaching
to regicides
"Of course the entire Servian nation
or army cannot be held responsible for
the crime which revolts public con-
science, yet it would be dangerous to
SerNla's internal peace not to exact
eNplauon for the revolution carried
out with violence by the military
Such neglect would inevitably react
IN an unfavorable manner on the re-
iatlons OF all the states with Servia
ana would create for Servia serious
dlfncultles at the very commencement
OF the reign of King Peter the First. :"

STRIKE BREAKERS ARRIVED.

i'm Place of Strikers.

Richmond, Va, June 1S.-About $50
conductors and motormen arrived here
to-day, having been engaged to break
the strike upon the trolley lines. The
strikers, however, claim to have won
a third of them over.
The company started four cars this
afternoon. At points along the route
missiles were hurled at them, and the
strike breakers were greeted with very
uncomplimentary language. No one
was hurt.
The few cars that were run on
the main street line were withdrawn
later, the company alleging that prop
er police protection was not being at
forded by the city. Twenty-Five extra
policemen were sworn in for service
this afternoon and placed on duty
Immediately. 1t is feared there will
be trouble tomorrow and there is a
suggestion that the military may have

Belgrade June 1S-The uneasiness
heretofore prevailing in intelligent cir
cles has been greatly minimized by
the smooth working of the provisional

RULE OF CONSERVATIVES
Seems Fixed in Great Britain for
Two Years More.

Seems Fixed in Great Britain for
Two Years More.
London, June 1s.-From interviews
with members Of the House Of Com
mons belonging to various parties, the
Associated Press correspondent learns
that the consensus of opinion at West
minister forecasts another two years
tenure of office for the present govern
ment, though the prophecy is always
made with the proviso barring acct
dents"
Good judges see little possibility Of
accidents being involved in the issues
now agitating the British press. Sir
Henry Campbell Zimmerman to-day
held a conference of leading Liberals
on the advisability of raising the whole
question of the fiscal policy of Great
Britain, but in view of the attitude
of even the malcontent TSnionists, who
are out and out free traders, it is not
considered likely that the Liberals
leader will risk challenging the gov
eminent to a vote in which he is GER
tain to be defeated.
In spite OF the sharp issue raised
in the Irish land bill question on the
subject of a minimum purchase price,
the ultimate passage of the bill is not
as seriously jeopardized as might be
imagined.
The Nationalists certainly hope to
wiring some further concessions from
Chief Irish Secretary Wyndham by
show of opposition, but the leaders of
the Irish party are still inclined to
exert all their influence to keep the
government in power.

S1,5O0,OOO OF PROFIT.

Represented on Their Part.

Represented on Their Part.
New York, June 1S.-The trial of the
suit of Isidore Wormser, Jr. to break
the -Interurban lease, was
continued to-day. Louis A. Helm
sheimer of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. explained
that the $1,5O0,0O0 Mr.. Shift has testi-
fled Kuhn. Loeb & Co. received includ-
ed all the preliminary expenses of or
ganizing and starting the Interurban
and Metropolitan Securities Company,
as well as the 100000 fees paid to the
Morton Trust Company. His firm made
about 100000, the witness said. just 2
per cent. on the 100000, 900, for which
is had assumed liability.
Col. Stickney, counsel for Mr.. Worm
ser, called Henry A. Robinson and be-
gan to question him about certain
expenditures in construction shown on
the fiscal reports of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company.
Justice Scott interrupted him by
asking how that line of testimony was
relevant. LAS / understand your con-
tention," he said. you base your ac-
ton on two proposition; that the whole
transaction between the Interurban
and Metropolitan Railway Companies
was fraudulent, or tainted with fraud;
that the persons who carried 1t out
did so, not in the interests of the gen.
eral stockholders, but for their own
advantage and profit"
That is practically what we con-
tend Mr.. Stickney replied. Com
structively, there has been the great
est breach of trust, although 1 do not
doubt the gentlemen interested have
kept within the boundaries of the law"
Patrick H. Flynn, who organized the
Interurban, was called to identify a
| number of papers, which had been ad-
mitted as evidence While on the stand
Mr.. Flynn produced his check book.
One amount of $150,O0O caught the at
tention of counsel for the plaintiff,
and he wanted to know what it repre-
! scented. Claims against me-" the wit
ness replied. That is. claims urged
against us. We decided to pay them,
| and regard them as blackmail. One
often has to do that sort of thing in

FIVE WILL BE INDICTED.
Federal Grand Jury Looking Into
POstomce Matters

Washington, June 1S.-The federal
grand jury, which is investigating
postal affairs, probably will bring in
five indictments in a few days against
persons involved.
1t is learned on unquestioned au-
thority that the jury has voted to
return indictments against August W.
Machen, Diller B. Croft, Samuel A.
Croft, George Lorenz and Mrs. Lo-
REM the two latter being residents
of Toledo, Ohio. The specific charge,
it is understood, will be conspiracy
to defraud the government.
The sensational feature of to-days
probable proceedings is the connection
of Mrs. Lorenz's name with the trans
actions which led to the arrest of
Machen and the Groffs. At the time
of the arrests stories were in circula-
ton that there was go-between.
The information at hand then was
not conclusive enough to establish the
identity of this particular party.
Whether or not Mrs. Lorenz acted in
this capacity is not known, but it
has been suggested that this go-be-
tween was a woman.

Macon, June 1S.-In the United States

to the federal grand jury sprang a
surprise. He called attention to the

parts of the Southern district of Geor-
gia. He quoted Artile I, Paragraph q.

vides "There shall be no Imprisonment

of the United States provides that
neither slavery nor involuntary servi-
tude, except as a punishment for crime,
whereof the party shall have been duly
convicted, shall exist in the United
States or any place subject to this
jurisdiction.
He called the attention of the jury
to a case presented to him where an
employee left an employer and engaged
win another, and the first employer
and othrs armed themselves, took the
empoye while at work, tied him, car
ried him back to his former employers
place, whipped him, forced him to work
and he is now being held practically
in servitude.
He charged the jury to make dill
gent inquiry, and if it found the state
