FRED LAND|S SEEKING
A POSTMASTER'S SCALP
Thinks Mr.. Crane, of Wabash, Has
Been Circulating Misleading
Reports.
INSPECTOR IN TROUBLE

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 25.-The fight of
Representative Fred Lands to secure re-
nomination in the Eleventh Indiana district
is frequently heard of at the national cap
ital. Some time ago Mr.. Lands had a
United States consul chased out of the
State and now he is after Postmaster Crane,
of Wabash. Recently order was issued
by Fourth Assistant Bristow providing for
the establishment of a general system of
rural free delivery in Wabash county.
Charges have been made by Mr.. Lands to
the effect that Postmaster Crane has made
statements that the service had not been
ordered and that all such reports were
fakes. Fourth Assistant Bristow has
called on Postmaster Crane for an answer
as to whether he circulated such reports
and to explain to the department his rea-
sons for so doing. 1t is probable an investi-
cation will be ordered.
Postmaster Lawrence p. Cahill, of Can
nelburg, Daviess county, and Postal In
spector Hosford have got into a wrangle
over an investigation made by the latter at
Cannelburg. Hosford recently filed charges
against Postmaster Cahill TO the effect that
the latter was careless in keeping his &C
counts and in addition made a statement
that reflected upon the business ability of
Mr.. Cahill. Now the postmaster makes
counter charges against Inspector Hosford,
one of them being that the latter was ar
rested at Charlottesville for striking q
woman and that he is not competent TO per-
form the duties of his office Fourth AS
sistant Bristow will have the inspector in
veStigated.
Civil-service Commissioner Cooley, who
left for the West to-day. will reach Indian
apois the middle of April. when he will
make arrangements to establish a central
civil service board there, which will have
jurisdiction over the entire State.

favorably the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Holiday authorizing the Vigo

struct a bridge across the Wabash river al

General Kuropatkin never made any
such statements as are reported. / know
him personally and know the character of
the man. He would not talk on such i'm

have done, and beside a Russian general
occupying so high position would not dis
cuss such matters publicly or in unofficial
quarters. Such statements can only be given
for the purpose of arousing and creating a
