LARGE SUMS FROM PATRONS

Fraud orders are now expected in
number from the Postofiice Department
against 'get-rich-quick" brokers and
bankers, in a majority Of the big cities
Of the country The department has
begun an investigation into the methods
of these swindlers, as well as those who
make and vend "quack' nostrums. The
first order Of any Importance was
signed by Assistant Attorney General
Goodwin. and promulgated by the Post
master General.
The firm placed under the ban of dis
honesty by the Government has been
known as "A Van Tassel & Co.. and
it had offices at 123 Liberty Street. New
York. There is. however, as the in
spectors discovered, no such person as
Van Tassel. though the name is that OF
an old Knickerbocker family. If there
ever was a person of the name con-
nected with the firm he long ago drop
ped out.
The methods adopted by the firm TO
separate victims from their cash seem
to have been robbery plain and simple.
The inspectors learned of 81 900 the
firm acquired under one name, and
si,7O0 under different management. How
much more they obtained only the vic
Tins and the members OF the firm

France RejOiceS Over

LONDON, June with the passage
of the bill reducing the term Of cOmpul-
sorry military service from three 20 two
years. France will have entered upon a
change in her military system which will
be pleasing TO her citizens.
The change viii be most beneficial. Il
is openly acknowledged that the obscur-
ity Of most careers in France IS due
solely 10 the three years spent in bar
racks. when young men Of other nation
alities are preparing themselves for
trades OF professions IN life.
May Abandon Compulsory Service.
The reduction OF year is looked upon
as the entering wedge toward the ulu-
mate abandonment Of compulsory mill
tary service
However, this reduction Of a year. sim
pie as II seems. entails consequences
which caused the promoters Of the new
law to consider Il well before acting.
First Of all. there was the question,
put with force by the opponents OF the
movement, as 10 whether the army
would not be reduced thereby 20 militia

The instruction Of recruits Is generally
divided into three periods for the first

MURDERED WIDOW
FOUND UNDER BED
Mystery in Tragic Death of
Aged Woman.
QUILT CONCEALED THE BODY
No Evidence of Struggle, and Robbery
Not the Motive of
Crime.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June 6.-The
discovery Of the body Of Mrs Matte E.
Carlisle, widow, sixty years Of age,
lying under her bed. has developed n
mystery which is puzzling the police.
With both eyes bruised. her right arm.
size. and leg a mass OF black and blue
bruises, the body was found yesterday
morning after Mrs Carlisle had been
missing for twenty-four hours quilt
had been pulled over the foot Of the
bed and reached to the floor. hiding the
body until a look under the bed re-
vcaled It.
Alive Saturday Morning.
Mrs. Carlisle was last seen alive at
Is O'Clock Saturday morning by Grace
Richmond and Lillian Kramer, stem
Ugraphers. who have rooms at her
house. She was then seated on the
front piazza sewing.
The young women and Mrs Carlisle
were the only occupants OF the house.
The Misses Richmond and Kramer re-
turned at noon Saturday for luncheon.
but saw nothing of the landlady. At >
o'clock they again returned, but did not
tGink strange of Mrs. Carlisle not be-
ms there.
They visited a neighbor and returned
about s o clock.
lneN naO sprung lNt ldLSll al Suns
out and could not get in. Getting no
response to repeated ringing Of the bell
they went To neighbOr and finally
summoned the police TO investigate.
House Fruitlessly Searched.
After forcing an entrance in the rear
a policeman made n search CT the house.
as the girls were frightened at the con-
tinued absence Of the aged woman. The
policeman did not make a search Of Mrs.
Carlisle's room He merely glanced In
side. and not seeing anyone closed the
door.
The girls spent the night at a neigh
boris. Yesterday morning the Rev. W
A Hobson, pastor Of the Baptist
Church, who lives next door, went TO the
house and rang the bell repeatedly. Get
ting no response, the police were again
summoned. A thorough search was
made and the body was found under the
bed
There were no evidences of a struggle
in the room. Robbery was not the mo
tive for $50 in cash and two diamond
rings, as well as valuable papers. were
found in the room.
A servant at Dr. HIobson's says she
heard a scufnng noise In Mrs. Carlisle's
house about 4 O'Clock Saturday after
noon.
The surgeons do not think that any OF
the wounds on the body were sufficient
to cause death. but will make an official
statement today. The fact that the
house has a large vacant lot on one
side and in the rear and that the rear
door was unlocked. and that DR.. Hob
sons servant heard a noise Ike a scuffle
in the house, causes the opinion that the
woman died Of fright after being struck
and bruised.

that many of the ''tipsters," the race

to carry on their business. despite the
recent scandals in the department and
the activity Of the inspectors. The ma
jority of these men. however, are oper-
ating from New York. 1t was an
nounced yesterday that the "tipsters''
would probably be included in the gen
eral cleanup which the department
seems 10 have under way.
The papers filed in the Van Tassel
case show that one A. V. Schoomaker
was the manager Of the place until about
n year ago when the department issued
a fraud order against him. He s then
alleged to have sold the business TO
George BOgart who. IN addition TO as
Stunning an Indebtedness Of Sl1.OO0 " hich

SchOOmaker $50 n week for a wear
The men sent out n lot - daShv it

great profits on all money invested with
them.

Regarding the recent funeral of one
of his friends in st. Louis, Vest wrote
those pitiful words while lying help
less on what he thought to be his
death bed
For 20 years | have watched as
my old friends, one by one, paid the
debt of nature. The years have rob
bed of health and strength, until |
realize my turn to go is not far
hence. And the thought does not
distress me. When most of man :
dear associates are on the other side,
and when time has robbed him of
all his appettes and passions, life
holds but few charms to claim his
thoughts and death possesses few ter
rors. 1t promises rest and reunion.
Vest was the most brilliant member
of the famous big Four that has
been such powerful political factor
in Missouri for over 80 years. The
others are Senator F. NJ. Cockrell,
United States District Judge John +.
Philips and ex-Gov. Thos. T. Critten-
don.
Cst anu \otklSli were
Philips and Crittenden federal officers
during the war. When the war was
over the famous Drake constitution
of Missouri disfranchised confederates
and Vest and Cockrell, both good law
yers, were unable to practice.
Cockrell became silent" partner
with Crittenden at Warrensburg, and
Vest took a silent place in Philips
Office at Sedalia, and the earned a
living until the Drake constitution
was knocked out.
During the Years of association they
became great friends, and about 1870
they began to plan for getting for
themselves out of politics.
Indicative of their success. it may
be stated that since then Vest had
"a years as senator, Cockrell will have
had 80 when his term expires, Philips
has been six years in congress, two
years supreme court commissioner
four year on the appellate court. and
IA years federal Judge on a life ap-
pointment; Crittenden had four years
as governor, four years in congress,
four years as consul in Mexico and now
holds life appointment in Judge Phil
ips' court.
Vest and Cockrell had Philips made
judge, and Philips appointed Critten-
den, so the big Four. is still opera
tive. Vest was the first to retire.
Their Office holding combined aggre-
gates nearly 100 years, and the COM
bined salaries drawn amount to more
than 100000.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-In de-
Tense of President Roosevelt's famous
pension order. making age conclusive
as to disability, the republican cam
paign committee will, it is said, cir
culate hundreds Of thousands of
copies of Pension Commissioner

printed. An endeavor will be made
to show, it is said, that the result Of
the order was not raid on the treas
ury, but the making smooth of the
path of deserving veterans. Advance
figures from the report show that
between April IS, the date on which
the order went into force, and June
80, the end of the fiscal year, there
were 1859 original pensions grant
ed under this order, and 14,76S in
creased. About 10000 applications
