came out from the bow window and
stood In front Of her, his hands
clinched and his eyes angrily blazing
"What right have you to talk so to

do you ever do for anybody but your.

on dangerous ground now, for he had
touched his aunt's real weakness as a
society woman, and she was in the
mood to be deeply angered at what he
said. But he went on recklessly, and
before he finished Mrs Penrose had
settled back again into the easy, care

Views of President Truesdale.

NEW YORK. June 3-President Trues-
dale, Of the Delaware, Lackawanna g.
Western Railroad. made the following state
ment to-day: Neither the tone Of the proc
lamation of the district presidents Of the
Mine Workers Union. as 1t appears in the
papers this morning. nor the statements
contained therein. are in any measure justi-
fled by the facts of the situation as they
exist I'm the anthracite regions as I under
stand them. There is no occasion for making
any threats of strike or tie-up to settle
the point at issue. The commissions award
provides for the appointment of umpire
by one of the Circuit judges Of the Third
judicial circuit Of the United States to de-
eide just such points as the one which has
now been raised, and am sure all the oper-
ators will be entirely willing to have this
question referred to such al umpire, or.
better still, they will be entirely willing TO
refer Ii TO the chairman Of the commission,
Judge Gray, and let him decide It, and
have no doubt Judge Gray would be en-
tirely willing to do So"
President Fowler. of the New York. On
tario e. Western road, said: II think the
situation Is very much exaggerated"

1.-THE general question as to the right as
executive officers to contract as principals
with the government was discussed by
Attorney General Williams I'm opinion
Gao, Page 4S3), in which. after referring to
Sections 1871 and 17S2, he says: But there
is not in the statutes any general prohibi-
ton which prevents executive officers from
contracting directly with the government
as principals in matters entirely separate
from their Offices and IN no way a, connected
ficers Of the government, nor are they for
hidden to be connected with such con-
tracts. after they were procured, by acquir-
ing an interest in them. And here there Is
a marked difference made In the legislation
Of Congress between the members of that
body and the executive officers of the gov
eminent. Both classes come under the pro-
hibition of the laws above cited. But in

strictly prohibits all interest in. and all

From this statement 1t is clear that It
has not been the purpose of Congress to
prohibit executive officers in general from
being as principals connected with govern

from acquiring interests in them. There Is
not in the statutes any such prohibition
applying to United States pension agents.
While am, for the reasons stated. Of the
opinion that you are not forbidden by any
statute from awarding the contract under
consideration to the lowest bidder, I must
not be understood as advising you that you
are under any legal obligation to do so.
I know of no law which requires you to
award a contract Of this character to the
lowest bidder. The acceptance OF any bid
is a matter Of administrative judgment and
discretion, and you are at liberty for any
reason that In your judgment, is TO the
public interest TO disregard any bid. The
matter is one of administrative judgment
and discretion, and as such / am without
either authority or obligation to express any
opinion with reference to It,"

SLEPT IN THE DUNGEON.
Men Fight I'm the Police Station After
Being Arrested

Harry Cosgrove, of 1853 Northwestern av-
enue. and Ira Lynch, colored, of 420 West
Eighteenth street, engaged In fistic en-
counter on the streets last night, in which
Cosgrove got a little the worst of 1t. Just
as Cosgrove was to receive the knock
out" blow Patrick McNulty. of 1927 North
western avenue, a companion of Cosgrove,
interfered, and tried TO act the part of the
peacemaker. At that juncture two big po-
licemen rounded the corner and took all
three men into custody and locked them up
at the city police station. The turnkey at
the station had no more than shut the men
IN the cellroom of the city prison when
Lynch attacked the peacemaker and laid
him out on the floor with blow that now
holds the police station record for force.
The bicycle men were summoned, and, with
Turnkey Mathey. soon had the unruly COL
ored man under control. He was lodged in
the dungeon for the balance of the night.

CABINET TO MEET SATURDAY
WHEN THE POsTOFFICE INvESTIGA-
TION WILL BE DISCUSSED.
Attorney General knOx's Opinion ON
the Award of a Coal Contract to
the Machen Brothers.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June 3.-The meeting of
the Cabinet to be held on Saturday, follow
ing the return of President Roosevelt will
be devoted in large part to discussion of
the postoffice investigation. There have
been many reports to the effect that Post
master General Payne intended to issue a
statement in connection with the matter.
1t is certain that at no time before the COM
pletion of the investigation will the post
master general make any statement OF a
formal character regarding 1t.
The publication to-day of the written
opinion which was furnished the postmaster
general by Attorney General Knox relative
to the coal contract last winter furnishes
basis for the claim that this is the docu-
ment which Mr. Machen relies on as fur
nishing excuse for his participating in the
profits of the lock-box fasteners. 1t has
been claimed that Machen's defense would
be that he was partner in the company
which made the fasteners. The department
officials say there is much difference be-
tween the purchase of coal from concern
in which Mr.. Machen was a partner, the
purchase being made in open market by
authorized agents of the government and
the purchase by Mr.. Machen. as superin-
tendent of the free delivery system, of the
lock-box fasteners. 1t Is of those points
that the defense Of Machen is expected to
make when his case is heard.
Machen's case did not come up before the
grand jury to-day. A hearing may be held
tomorrow, although this is not certain.
A great deal of curiosity is still manifested
in the method adopted to secure the evil
dence against Machen and the Croft Broth
ers. The opinion has prevailed that the
"go between" in the transaction made a
confession. Several men, among them G..
A Lorenz Of Toledo, o., have been men,
toned in the press reports as the ''go be-
tween" But none Of these guesses is cor
rect. Lorenz, it is understood, has had
business transactions with Machen, but
whether he is any way involved the off,
Gals decline to state. The impression is
strong that Lorenz is on the department
suspect list in connection with transac-
tons Of Machen other than that which re-
suited in the latter's arrest on q charge
Of bribery.

the lower floors of buildings along the levee
front will be flooded, but with all the prep

TO st. Louis.
In North st. Louis employees of the lum-
Der yards along the river spent all day re-
moving the piles of lumber from the prox-
unity OF danger. In South St Louis sew
eral houses along the river edge have been
Hooded, but the occupants have removed
their property and vacated. Among those
who will feel the losses most heavily are
the small truck farmers and gardeners
along the River Des Peres near its conf1u-
ence with the Mississippi.
On the Illinois side there Is more Sc
rious food condition. Venice, situated
north of East ST. Louis, is in almost imme-

along the river have received a general

to leave, under the impression that her
dwelling was out of danger. The water
rose steadily until ii covered her ankles.
When IL reached her waist she climbed a

Her cries were heard and she was rescued

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, June 3.-The feature of
the visit of President Roosevelt to Rock
ford to-day was the dedication Of Memorial

port, In a body as an escort. He was off,
cfally greeted by committee of six, headed
by Mayor Charles L. jackson. and escorted

The President and party then re-entered
their carriages and enjoyed a short drive
through the principal streets, first passing
in review before some four thousand school
children massed at a park adjoining the
memorial building grounds. Each child car
ried an American flag, and the salute given

sight. The decorations for the occasion
were the most elaborate ever attempted in
this city.
