Washington, September BY di"ec-
investigation has been made mo tie
charges preferred by Seymour W. TIL
IOch against the management of affairs
of the Washington, D. c., pOstOffice.
This investigation has been made by
charles J. BOnaparte and Holmes Con-
rad, special counsel of the government
in the prosecution of the postOffice
fraud cases. and it is independent of
and entirely supplementary to the re-
port made by Fourth Assistant Post
master General BristOw on the charges
preferred by Mr. TulIoch.
Mr.. BristOw's report, Mr.. Conrad
said tonight, was simply collection of
the facts in the case, as reported by
postoffiCe inspectors and contained no
opinions as to the merits or de-
merits of the charges. The investiga-
ton made by Messrs. Bonaparte and
charges and will express an opinion
as to whether or not the accused per-
sons are vindfcated or are guilty of the
offenses charged against them.
The conclusions drawn from their
inquiry will be embodied in a report
which will be submitted to the attor-
ney general the latter part of this
week. No prosecutions will follow from
any conclusions the report may draw,
as the Offenses. if any have been COM
mitted, are barred by the statute of
limitations.
The president. said Mr.. Conrad, was
very anxious that the whole matter
should be gone over very carefully, so
that if persons named in the charges of
Mr.. TullOch were not guilty they should
be vindicated and if they were that
this fact might go on record. Their
duty had been to act in the capacity of
n master in chancery and report on
the facts as they found them. 1t was
not a party affair with the president.
Mr.. Conrad declared. but an honest
desire to get at the facts in the case,
both democrats and republicans being
involved in the charges.

INCREASE OF BRAIN POWER
APPEAL BEFORE BRITISHERS BY
SIR NORMAN LoCKYER.
He Compared the Expenditures OF
Money in England for Educatiou
With Amount Spent in United
States and Germany

Southport, England, September o.
The British association for the ad-
Vancement of science met tonight at
the opera house here, which was
crowded. Sir Norman Lockyer. deliv-
cred his presidential address entitled
The Influence of Brain Power on His
tory" During the course of his re-
marks the president referred at length
to the struggle for existence in modern
communities. showing that British in
dustries We're suffering from interna-
tional competition and said:
Our position as a nation, our sue
cess as merchants, are in peril, chiefly
dealing with preventable causes
because our lack of completely effic-
lent universities and our neglect of
research. We in Great Britain have
eleven universities competing with 134
state and privately endowed in the
United States and twenty-five states
endowed in Germany"
Sir Norman cOntraSted the feeble re-
suits of private effort in England as
compared with the aid given UNIVERSE
ties in the United States and Germany
and argued that state aid alone could
compete with either country. In sixty
years, English colleges had been given
less than $2O,OOO,O00. while in the last
few years American colleges had been
given $500 100000
The president then compared the
vast sums spent by the British gov
eminent on sea nOWer' and the small
amounts expended on "brain power"
and advocated duplicating the navy
bill of 1SSS-'S9 $12O, 900, 900 and devoting
that amount to the increase of Great
Brltaln'S brain NOWpr.

in carrying on his business on legiti-
mate methods. McPike was parolej

ATTACK ON MILITIANAN.
Guards at the Taylor and BruntOn
Sampler Aroused.

, Victor. Colorado. September AN
attack upon a militiaman acting as
guard at the Taylor and Brunton sam
pier last night, aroused the officers
commanding the troops and within a
few minutes every available man in
the camp was patrolling the hills.
Shortly after the guard had been
placed at the sampler he noticed Z
man prowling about a building. He
ordered the man to halt, which order
was not obeyed. The guard fired at
the figure and started in pursuit, fir
ing as he ran. AS the soldier passed
the building he was felled by a rock
thrown by a second man. The shooting
aroused other sentinels who arrived
just as the two men disappeared over
the edge of Bull hill. A volley was
fired at them, but they escaped. The
injured infantryman was not seriously
hurt.

baccO May Unearth General Snug
Cling.

New York, September 9.-The exam
ination of Joseph Wanrman, a dealer
in leaf tobacco, today, before United
States Commissioner Ridgeway on a
charge of buying smuggled tobacco.
brought out the fact that if the con-
fessions of two sailors arrested Mon
day are to be believed, that there are
a number of tobacco merchants in New
York engaged in illicit traffic in to-
bacco.
Sunday night, two treasury officials
followed two sailors of the Koenigen
Luise giving the names Of Thome and
Schoon, who, they say. delivered SNUG
gled tobacco to Joseph Wahrman- To-
day when the three men were arraign-
ed before the commissioner, the two
sailors made confessions and testified
in behalf of the government and
against Wahrman. The commissioner
held Wahrrnan for trial in s1,500 bail,
which was furnished. Wahrman de-
MED the charge most emphatically and
insisted he was 2. victim Of circum-
stances. The sailors were paroled-

a rope Brinkley turned and fled
from the officer by the rear door.
The mob saw the escape, and, headed
by Mooney streamed down an alley in
pursuit. The negro ran several blocks
before he was finally overtaken. The
policeman having been brushed aside
Brinkley was now at the mercy Of the
crowd. A teamster jumped down from
his wagon and began lashing the negro
across the face with his whip, the VIC
tim being held the while by a dozen
men and boys. A patrol wagon arrived
with three policemen who, together with
Mooney, seized the negro and succeeded
in dragging him to the patrol wagon
The horses were whipped up and the
rescued prisoner whirled to the police
station. None Of the rioters were ar
rested.
The killing grew out Of a quarrel in
which Mccarthy had accused Brinkley
OF stealing chickens from his premises.

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CATARRH
Just Breathe Hyomei Three Times Day
To Be Cured

10 do OuI6u
If few years ago someone had said
YOU can cure catarrh by breathing air
charged with a healing balsam, the
idea would have been ridiculed, and
it remained for r. T. Booth, that emf
nent Investigator, to discover in by
omei this method of cure.
Hyomei has performed the most mi
raculous cures OF catarrh, and is to-
day recognized by leading members OF
the medical profession as the only adj
yertised remedy that can be relied up
on to do just what it claims.
The complete outfit of Hyomei
costs but $1.0O, and consists of an in
haler, a medicine dropper and bottle
of Hyomei.
breathe Hyomei through the inhal-
or for a few minutes four times day
and it will cure the worst case OF ca
tarrh. 1t soothes and heals the mu-
cous membrane of the air passages,
prevents irritation, and effects COM
plete and lasting cure.
The treasurer of the American LIE
Insurance Company, ]. S. Nugent, OF
New York City, writes, "Hyomel mas
completely cured my daughter OF ca
tarrh. from which she has been SUI
ferer for years"
In Annapolis there are scores OF
well-known people who say they have
been cured of catarrh by Hyomel. IL
it does not cure you Feldmeyer
Brothers will return the money you
paid for Hyomei. This is the strong
est evidence that can be offered as to
their faith in the remedy.
