netc1lf Dismissed

Washington, Special.-As a result
of alleged indiscretion in matters per-
tanning to the award OF contracts for
printing the money order forms or
the government, James T. Metcalf, for
many years superintendent Of the
money order system of the Postofice'
Department, was on Wednesday re-
moved from Office by the Postmaster
General. A full investigation OF the
case will be made later. The dismissal
is the result Of acts Of Mr.. Metcalf in
opposition to the bid Of Paul Herman,
of Rutherford, N. j., the lowest bid
der by $4,000 and in favor or the
next highest bidder, the kynkop-.
Hallenbeck.Crawford Company. OF
New York, Of which Mr.. Metcalf's o
is an employee. The story is briefly told
in the letter Of dismissal signed by
Postmaster General Payne.

Could NuI Agree.

Jackson, KY, Special.-The jury in
the case OF Jet and White, charged
with the murder OF Lawyer James X.
Marcum, was discharged, having been
unable to agree. At s O'CLOCK the jury
filed into the court room and Foreman
Richard Willard said:
Your Honor, we find no chance OF
coming to an agreement"
Judge Redwine said:
Il will keep you gentlemen until
Saturday night, unless you get a YER
dict sooner. There is no reason why a
verdict should not be reached in this
case"
Foreman Willard said:
"Ore man has as mach right to his
opinion as another, and may stick to
it."
1t is believed from this that there
was only one man between q verdict
and 1t is conceded that only n juror
then was for conviction. 1t is said the
question of punishment had not been
considered.
Later the jury again reported that 1t
was unable to agree, and shortly after
9 o'clock it was discharged, so there
will be another trial.
The dominant faction evidently eX-
pected acquittal. There was at least
one Juror who held out against this.
The scene after the announcement
was in no wise exciting. Some who
started to clap their hands were stop
ped by the court. The guards took Ira
mediate possession Of the prisoners
and they were closely guarded back to
Jail. People gathered around the court
house discussing the case, but there
was no disturbance or outward sign u
trouble.
Attorney Byrd, after consultation.
made a motion for a change OF venue.
Judge Redwine refused to hear arSu-
ments but of his own accord changed
the venue to Cynthiana, Harrison
county. at the next term Of court.
Cynthiana is not in Judge RedWinas
district. He surprised the spectators
by at once ordering the prisoners sent
to Lexington under a detachment OF
soldiers accompanied by Elisor Jones.

THE INVESTIGATION
Into the Postal Frauds Made Public
By the Department
INTERESTING FACTS GIVEN OUT
Developed That Wholesale Stealing
Has Been Going on Through Hsny
Years,

Washington, Special. - Postmaster.
General Payne's instructions to Mr.
Bristow, in regard to the charge OF
Seymour Tolloch, former cashier OF the
Washington City p~ostoffice, regarding
the Irregularities in the postal admin
istration, and also reports OF the in
spection and investigation Of the
Washington poestoffice by inspectors
between June 80, 1899, and July 81,
1900, together with the transcript Of
the Tulloch charges made some years
ago and the conclusion thereon then
reached by Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith. These papers constitute
by far the most significant documents
yet made public as a result Of the
sweeping postal investigation. The re-
ports show the existence Of many ir-
l%egularities during the period in
volved. The inspector who Investigated
the irregularities reports that the files
Of the postoffice cashier show direct
orders from superior authority fol-. the
| disbursement of all the questionable
items cited. The inspector urged that
the responsibility for the many illegal
\ appointments, the payment Of two sal
aries to one and the same person and
| the disbursement of the thousands or
dollars for which practically no service
was performed, should be placed where.
1t properly belongs and the many
abuses corrected"
In a summary Of the several reports
the Postmaster General says: 1.-The
| charge Of Mr.. Tulloch is in its essence
against President Mckinley and POST
master General Smith. President Nc"
Kinley is no longer living; Postmaster
| General Smith, who carried out Presi-
dent McKinley's policy, has answered
ior himself. With regard to the pres
ent management Of the Washington
postoffice and tire conduct OF any and
| all men charged with wrong-doing VINO
have been in the postal service under
the present administration, a thorough
and searching investigation is now BE-
ing made"
The Postmaster General also says:
at will be seer that the whole subject
was taken up by Postmaster General
| Smith and investigated by him: All
expenditures referred to were allowed
by the Auditor and Comptroller, VITA
the exception Of $3.50"

E have every right to take a just pride in the great deeds OF
our forefathers; but We show ourselves unworthy to be their
descendants if We make what they did an excuse for our lying
supinc instead of an incentive to the effort to show ourselves
by our acts worthy Of them. In the administration OF city, State
and Nation, in the management of our home life and the conduct
Of our business and social relations, We are bound to show GER
tain high and fine qualities of character under penalty OF seeing
the whole heart of our civilization eaten out while the body
still lives.
