Washington, Sept. 1G.-The federal
grand jury resumed its consideration
Of postoflioe cases, but did not pro
gress sufficiently to report any indict-
ments. Several witnesses were exam
ined. One of the first indictments is
expected to be that of former law
official Of the department. The grand
jury now has every case before It that
is expected to figure in the postal
prosecutions, and it is expected that it
will finish all the cases by the close
of this month
The grand jury has also been delib-
Grating over the case Of a former as
sistant attorney general who at one
time was postmaster general, and
considerable evidence had been sub
mitted by postofice inspectors and
others. Manager Bowman, OF the
Southern Mutual Investment Associa-
tion, and other witnesses testified
before the grand jury in these cases.
There are in the neighborhood of q
half dozen other indictments expected.
The report of Fourth Assistant Post

tigation will, according to present
plans. follow within a fortnight of the
return of tho last indictments. This
report will be made to tho postmaster
general and Immediately forwarded to

His Lawyer Says There's No Proof
Before u. S. Commissioner.
New York, Sept 1e.-The prelim-
mary examination of George w. Bea-
vers, the former postal official, under
the indictments returned against him
by the federal grand jury, of Brook
lyn, charging him with conspiracy to
defraud the government through com
plicity with the Brandt-Dent Manu-
featuring Company, Of Watertown,
Wis, was commenced before United
States Commissioner Hitchcock.
The defendant was represented by
his counsel, Messrs. Morgan and Sea
bury. who were reinforced by a third
lawyer. Max Stauer. who conducted
the examination. The defendant. look
ing worried, though attempting to be
at ease, sat behind his counsel.
Mr. Stauer moved to dismiss the
proceedings on the ground that the
facts as alleged In the complaint were
insuficieht, and that no proof had
been presented for the commissioners
consideration in support of the indict-
hANAA anu Complain an ANANAANA ~
law. The law, he declared. demanded
that when a defendant was arraigned,
the government was bound to produce
proof of the crime, regardless of the
certified copy Of the indictment and
the complaint based on the indictment,
which was not legal proof.
Stauer attacked the indictment as
faulty and he questioned the validity
of the warrant issued under it. He
argued earnestly TO convince the com
missioner that a three-year Limitation
applied to a crime alleged to be com
mitted July &c. 1900, and that no new
Indictment could now be returned.
The defense and prosecution offered
to submit memorandum on the point
raised, and the commissioner then ad-
journed the examination until Sep
tember 18.

NEW JERSEY TANGLE IN COURT
Attorney General Files Brief Against
Appropriation to Rutqers College.

appropriation 10 hutgcrs COicgc.
Trenton. N j.. Sept 16.-Attorney
General McCarter. representing the
state, has fled in the supreme court
a brief in the proceedings brought
against the comptroller TO compel the
issuing of a warrant for $4,000 upon
the state treasurer in favor Of Rutgers
College. A law appropriatlng this
amount was passed by the last legisla-
ture, contingent upon the supreme
court holding to be constitutional the
act of 1890. under which the debt to
the college was incurred. That law
provides for state scholarships, but
while the scholarships were furnished
no money was ever paid 70 Rutgers
College because Of the contention that
the law authorizing the scholarships
was Unconstitutional. This resulted in
the passage Of last winters bill.
Attorney General McCarter. in his
brief, argues that the law is unconstitu-
tional in that il provides for an appro-
priation to a private association in yio-
lation of an expressed prohibition in
the constitution. Counsel for the col
lege a few days ago filed a brief hold
ing that this was not a donation of
public money to a private institution
within the meaning Of the consttu-
ton. A decision is not expected TO be
rendered until November.
