CHICAGO, juno 25.-Mayor Harrison said
to-day:
President Roosevelt Is particularly sub
ject to criticism in connection with the
scandal In the Post Office Department for
his appointment Of man who was poll
tician pure and simple to the position Of
Postmaster-General.
Roosevelt has been before the country
as the chief exponen. of the civil service
for long period. The country was justi-
fed in looking for better things under his
administration. Yet he appointed Henry
c. Payne as the head OF department for
tie sole purpose Of havins prince Of po-
litioal manipulators to run politics for the
Administration.
Mayor Harrison fired this shot to-day
while talking Of the action Of Iowa Demo-
Gratis yesterday in refusing, in State con-
We ntion, to indorse the Government owner
ship of railroads:
isn't the defeat Of a plank for Govern
ment ownership Of railroads a slap at ideas

NO. 4 have not advocated Immediate
public ownership. I have said believe
In it as an ultimate solution Of some Of our
big problems.
"But the people must be ready for it.
The scandal in the Post Office will be used
unfairly. but perhaps with effect. to set
back public ownership of public utilities.
President Roosevelt and the Republican

GE0RGE r. MILLER INDICTED.
Government WIN Try to Get From Him and
Driggs Evidence Against Beavers.


It became known yesterday that when
the Federal Grand Jury In Brooklyn handed
down Ave indictments against ex-Congress-
man briggs on Wednesday 1t also found
two indictments against George F. Miller
of Nyack. the New York agent Of the E. j.
Brandt-Dent Company. Of Watertown,
Wis. Mr.. Miller is charged with aiding in
the alleged bribery OF Mr.. briggs. The
language Of the presentments Is that he
paid money to a Member Of Congress
for aiding and procuring the sales OF auto
matte cash registers to the Post ONCE
Department.
Mr.. Miller and his counsel, Abram Rose.
appeared before Judge Thomas in the
United States District Court In Brooklyn
yesterday. Mr.. Rose asked that, all pro-
wished to examine the indictments before
making plea. Judge Thomas granted an
adjournment until that time and Mr.. Miller
was released In $500 bail, which was fur.
nished by Nicholas Schloeder. lawyer. OF
The indictments against Mr., Miller are
based on section ! ISL Of the Revised
Statutes, which make the bribery OF a
Congressman a misdemeanor. punishable
by two. years imprisonment or $4,000
fine, or both.
The indictment of Mr.. Miller was not
unexpected. He is a business associate
Of Abner Mckinley. Lawyer Rose said
yesterday that the fact that Mr.. Miller was
examined by the Grand Jury for three days
before the indictments were found against
him would play an important part in his
defence. 1t was the first time he had ever
heard Of man who had given all the tes-
timony he could, and willingly, being in
dicted afterward.
After Wednesdays session the Grand
Jury adjourned until Monday, when 1t Ia
understood 1t will take up the case Of George
w. Beavers, late chief Of the division Of
salaries and allowances. Mr.. Beavers has
been under investigation for some time.
The fact that he and briggs are old
friends and neighbours is an explanation
to some people why briggs, a new Con-
gresham and without influence or power
full friendships at Washington. was chosen
by the Brandt Dent Company.
The subpoena which was served on
Mr.. briggs when he was summoned before
the Grand Jury read. it was learned
yesterday 'The United States against
George W. Beavers" 1t IL believed to be
the wish OF United States District Attorney
Youngs to get informa ton from either
briggs or Miller. or both, on which Beav
can Be indicted. The friends OF the three
men say that there is no chance OF either
briggs or Miller turning on Beavers.

THE COLOMBIAN CONGRESS- HAS
ALREADY TAKEN 1T UP.

DON, 900 without Drawing on Banks.
WASHINGTON. June 25.-Despatches re-
ceived this afternoon from Bogota BY
Senior Herran. the Colombian Charge
d Afaires and the representative here OF
the French Panama Canal Company. ARE very
favorable for the ratification OF the Panama
Canal treaty now pending before the Colom-
bian Congress. Tho dispatches said that
the organization Of the two houses OF the
Congress had been completed and the
confederation Of the treaty begun. The
situation, the dispatches said, had under
gone q decided change, favorable to the
ratification Of the treaty. and the opposi-
ton was rapidly disappearing. The two
Senators from the State Of Cartagena,
who were formerly opposed to the treaty
had signifed their intention Of voting for
1t. The opinion was expressed that the
treaty would be ratified without any unusual
delay, probably In ten days or two weeks.
The probability OF action on the treaty
by the Colombian Congress undoubtedly
had something to do with the abandonment
by Secretary Shaw Of his plan for sailing
for Europe on the Fourth Of July. As
soon as the treaty is ratified and the neces-
sary papers are signed some $50 900 900 Is to
be paid by the United States. so, 900 900 to
the French Panama Canal Company and
nearly $4,000 900 to the Republic OF CO.

he can make those payments out Of funds
in the Treasury without disturbance to
the money conditions in Wall Street or sell
ing bonds.
The cash balance in the Treasury to-day
was $3.50, 1852 .07s exclusive Of the $50 900 900
gold reserve, which Is the highest point
reached this year. OF the balance,

1t will not be necessary, however, to call

deposits, for the cash In the Treasury
making up the balance aggregates Ss7,-
600 900, which will meet the payments for
the canal and leave working surplus Of
337 ,OO0,0
The Treasury. therefore, owing to the
large balance, is in an excellent condition
for carrying out Secretary Shaw's plan
for meeting the canal payments. When
possession OF the canal is secured the bonds
for its completion, whose issue was author
lied by the Spooner act. will then be taken
up by the Treasury Department
Now that there arc favorable indications
for the early ratification Of the treaty BY COL
