WARRINGTON, June 24.--Presi;
dent RoCsevelt's letter to Attorney
General Knox instructing him as to
the retention Of special attorneys to
assist in the postal prosecutions was
made public this morning.
After reviewing in brief the Staus
Investigation to date he says that 1t is

be hereafter filed. The president con-
tinuesi
'sThere can b no greater offense
against the government than breach
Of trust on the part Of a public ohicial
or the dishonest management Of his
ONCE. Every effort must be made to
bring such offenders to punishment
to the utmost rigor Of the law.
1.-THE district attorneys Office for
the District Of Columbia has faith
fully and zealously seconded the ef-
forts Of the postoffice department
throughout the entire investigation,
but the amount Of work OF that Office
is such as to make 1t difficult, without
neglecting other important public
I duties, for It to devote all of the time
necessary for q thorough prosecution
Of these cases.

HUSBANDS GET BEST
Of 3 DIVORCE CASES

ago. Henry Fl. Flint married Agnes
J. Thoburn in October, 1895, and five
months later Mrs. Thoburn deserted
her husband. There are no children,
and the husband gets all the prop
erty.
The cause of a third divorce is ap-
parently too great a love for the ira
ditions of the old Bay State and it's
hub culture. II. I. Cali and Hattie
NJ. Call were married in Boston,
Mass, in February, 1899. and in
March of last year Mrs. Call deserted.
Two months later the husband came
to Washington and at once attempted
to get his wife to come here. He
has written letters to her and to
mutual friends. but she refuses to
leave the delights OF Boston for the
joys of Spokane and he is unable to
tell just where she now is. Accord
ingly the court is asked for an order
for service of summons within the
state.

freight train that was switching at
Marshall. The train from the west
was setting out some cars while II
waited for the train from the east to
pass. The latter came Into Marshall
under a full head of steam and the
engineer was unable to bring II to q
stop, with the result that the engine
collided with the rear end of the train
being switched.
No one was injured by two cars

ly damaged that new one was sent
from here to take it's train. The
fault clearly lies with the engineer,
who failed to have his train under
control when approaching the station
