Washington, April 14-Postmaster
General Payne last night gave out
statement in which he announced that
the investigation of the affairs of the
Postoffice Department will be contin-
ued and that any persons found guilty
of wrong doing will be dealt with sum-
marily. The statement follows:
During the months of January and
February information and reports
reached me which deemed it for the
public interest to investigate and
personally gathered such information
and facts as would enable the proper
officers of the department to under
take thorough investigation as to the
truth or falsity of these reports.
directed Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow to take the proper
steps to institute the necessary in
quiry, using for that purpose the post
office inspectors division and such
other methods as would thoroughly as
certain the truth or falsity of the
charges or insinuations made, and. he
was instructed to proceed promptly
and with vigor during my absence.
Since my return this morning have
not seen General Brstow, so that L am
not advised of the progress. The in
vestigation will continue and if any
wrong doing is disclosed, the parties
guilty of such wrong doing will be
summarily dealt with. If the system
or method of doing business in the de-
partment is faulty, the proper rene

RAILROAD PRESIDENT APPROVES
OF THE ANTI.MERGER DECISION

Richmond, Va, April 1.-THE decis-
ion of the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals in the Northern Securities
case, Major John Shelton Williams,
president of the Seaboard Air Line sys-
TEN, says he regards as one OF the
greatest blessings and the brightest
promises for railroad interests and
general business that the country could
have. In an interview to-day, when
asked his opinion of the decision, Mr..
Williams said:
Il am satisfied that when they come
to study the matter carefully railroad
men and thinking men of all classes,
not only in the South, but in the coun-
try generally, except those whose am
bilious schemes are directly hindered,
will be united in the feeling that the
decision is sound law, good sense and
for the advantage of all legitimate in
terests and for the countrys welfare.
From a legal standpoint it accords
with the opinions of many of the
ablest lawyers of the country and it
seems to be fortified with authorities
and reasoning too strong to be shaken.
1 have no fear that the Supreme Court
will reverse or seriously modify it.
Public policy, public sentiment, and
established principles and precedents
of law combine to sustain the Circuit
Court
From commercial and practical
railroad standpoint the soundness of
the courts position is indisputable. 1t
voices the judgment of probably nine
tenths of the most conservative busi-
ness men of the country. Last No

BOODLING EXPOSE
STIRS MISSOURI

st. Louis, April 14-Yesterday' de-
velopments in the State Legislature
Doodle investigation being conducted
by the grand jury in St. Louis and JEFF
ferson City were sensational. Wit
nesses testified that Senator John P.
Collins deposited five $1,000 bills in the
Lafayette Bank of this city the day
after the Legislature adjourned.
United States Senator William j.
Stone evaded testifying before the
grand jury, but service was secured up
on him last night and he will appear
before the inquisitorial body sitting in
this city to-day and tell what he knows
of the alum legislation.
Senators Walker, Buchanan and
Marshall, who voted against the repeal
of the alum bill, were examined, as
was also Hattie Stewart, notorious
woman about town, and enough evil
dence was secured in the words of Cir
cult Attorney Folk, to keep Attorney
General Grow busy the rest of the sum
mer.
AS a result of the startling evil
dence given by Hattie Stewart. it is
stated that no less than six divorce
suits will follow her public testimony
in the trials of state legislators who
will be indicted for boodling.
The Stewart woman referred to the
state senators invariably by their first
names and showed a remarkable famil-
iarity with their habits. goings and
comings, and their public and private
life.
Caut p ]. Carmody was subpoenaed
to testify tomorrow concerning the
methods used to suppress horse race
legislation inimical to the syndicate
which controls racing in Missouri. 9th

daughter of u. w. Irwin, a pioneer cit
izen of Akron and John Irwin, who
was killed last Christmas by Joseph
Meenan, was married TO a daughter OF
George Tuttle Mrs. Perry Tuttle is su
perintendent OF schools for Washing
ton county.
Elmer Shanks is cousin OF the Tut
tie boys, and Clinton Dansdill the 9TH
er prisoner is an employe of the Tut
ties.
Naturally, all sorts of rumors are
afioat. One story heard on the streets
Of Akron is that Perry Tuttle will be
charged with the shooting of Meenan
and that the other defendants will be
tried as accessories
1t was brought out at the corpner's
inquest that most of the men now un-
der arrest mads threats against the life
of Joseph Meenan, although these
threats were made at the time of the
killing of John Irwin by Joseph Nee
nan, and when excitement was running
high.
One of the questions most frequently
heard here is. Where was Perry Tut
tie on the night of the Meenan mur-
dor?" He swore at the coroner's in
quest that he spent the night at his
fathers ranch. Shanks and Dansdill
corroborated this story. Meenan was
shot about s o'clock Friday night al
though the body was not found until
Sunday following Perry Tuttle.
Shanks and Dansdlll tell the same gen
eral story as to how they spent Fri
day night, but it is claimed on the
other hand. that 1t differs in detail
sufficiently to cast doubts on 1t.
Stuart & Murray, lawyers of Den
yer, have been engaged by the defend
sist in the prosecution.

the vicinity of Slough creek that Death
Gulch is located, and it is understood
that the president contemDlates visit
to that strange canon. The snow is
deep in that vicinity.
The weather was fairly good when
the president left Fort Yellowstone
Thursday morning, but it turned bad
Friday. 1t has been showing heavily
since and has turned cold. Those who
have been in the park many seasons
say that the weather is worse now than
it ever was before, go far as white men
know. at this time of the year. 1t is
showing heavily to-day. The wind is
not blowing however. and 1t is not
thought that the snow will drift to any
great extent The President and his
guard will have no special difficulty In
reaching Fort Yellowstone, as the dis
tance is not great and good trail has
been broken.
President Roosevelt and Major Pitch
er will return to Fort Yellowstone Tues
day if the chief executive carries out
his present plans He will leave imme-
diately on a tour of the park. 1t is his
intention to go through to the lake.
New SHOWS will make the trip more
difficult than was anticipated, but 1t is
understood that the president proposes
most of the way. No one will accom-
pany the president on the trip through
the park except the soldiers.

Il inaugurated the investigation
with the determination that it should
be exhaustive. 1t is proper for me to
add that | laid before the President
the information which | had in my
possession and that he fully approved
OF the action proposed by me"
The whole administration of the
Postoffice Department is made subject
to the investigation under the post
master generals direction, and every
division will be probed thoroughly and
the inquiry be made as thorough as
the departments most expert inspect
ors can make it.
At the same time Mr.. Payne's pur-
pose is to give fair and just treatment
to all concerned, and not to act arbi-
trarily and with undue haste. For
that reason it can be stated that no
immediate changes of Importance in
the personnel OF the service are now
contemplated. and results will depend
largely on the report to be made by
| Fourth Assistant Postmaster General

PERSHING WHIPS
HOSTILE nOROS

Manila, April 11.-Captain Persh-
ings force captured Bacolod. Island OF

dred Moros and wounded many others.
Three Americans were wounded.
Pershing's force consisted of Shaw's
battalion of the Twenty-seventh infan-
try, Kilpatrick's troop OF the FIT
teenth cavalry and McNair's battery.
Captain Pershings was surveying the
west shore lands, when the Bacolodians
opposed his advance and provoked the
fight. Pershing's force surrounded and
attacked the stronghold, first shelling
them and rushing his troops forward,
charged calamity.
After crossing deep moat and en-
tering the fort the Americans engaged
the Moros, bayonets against krisses. A
hundred of the defenders were killed,
including the datto of Panandungan,
and many others were wounded. Only
three Americans were wounded. After
the capture of the fort it was de-
stroyed.
The Bacolod leaders and the majori-
ty of the people of that district had
been hostile to the Americans and en-
couraged attacks on American camps.
They rejected the tenders of friend

1t is expected that the defeat of the
Bacolodians will result in all the

HIGHLY SENSATIONAL MURDER
CASE STIRS EASTERN COLORADO

Denver, April IA special dispatch
to the Republican from Akron last
night says:
The verdict of the coroner's jury,
which has been all week probing into
the mystery connected with the assas-
sination OF Joseph Meenan. was made
public late this evening. 1t is as fol-
lows:
That the deceased came to his death
on the Bird of April, 1908, in the county
of Washington by four gunshot
wounds inflicted by one or more OF
the following named persons: Perry
Tuttle, George l. Tuttle, Frank Irwin,
Elmer Shanks and Clinton Dansdill,
and that all of said persons conspired
to kill, or abetted in the killing, and
that said killing was felonious."
Prior to making known to the public
the contents of the verdict, informa-
tions were filed against the persons
named in the coroners findings. and
all were later placed under arrest by
Sheriff Ball.
The prisoners will be taken to jail
at Denver They left here on the
O'Clock Burlington train and will reach
Denver at 7 O'Clock Sunday.

to be the most sensational in the his

Anaconda, Mont, April ia spe-
cial to the Standard from Gardiner,
Mont, says:
President Roosevelt is hunting noun
ing lions yesterday on Slough creek.
In company with Major Pitcher, acting
superintendent of the park. and guard
of soldiers. he left Fort Yellowstone
Thursday morning for Yancey's, fifteen
miles east of Mammoth Hot Springs,
from where he went to Slough creek.
There are more elk and deer in this
vicinity than in any other portion of
the park, and where the big game is
most numerous, there are also to be
found the worst mountain lions. The
President will undoubtedly bag few
lions. although it is not known here
whether he has secured any as yet. He
will also get plenty of opportunity to
shoot wolves, as there are many OF the
big gray fellows in that section.
The president left Fort Yellowstone
in excellent spirits. No members of his
party accompanied him to Yancey's.
The trip was not an especially difficult
one as the soldiers had broken trail
through the Yellowstone. The snow is
not extremely deep and no special diff
Guilty was experienced in reaching
Yancey's. From Yancey's the president
will probably visit the lower falls. The
soldiers have broken trail there.

from Yancey's. There are many elk
