WRITES LETTER TO POST.
MASTER GENERAL
ON THE MACHEN TRIAL
Gratihed Over Prosecu-
tons Success.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 2S.-The
president, taking advantage of the con-
viction of Machen and others in the
postofiice conspiracy trial, has sent the
! following letter TO Postmaster General
| Payne:
My dear Mr.. Postmaster general
while all the work of the postoffice
department and the department of JUS
tice in connection with postal frauds
is not yet over, there is already to the
credit of the movements, and therefore
primarily to your credit, such an
amount of substantial achievement that
take the opportunity to congratulate
you personally upon it, 1t is impossi-
BILE to expect that corruption will not
occasionally occur in any government;
he vital point is the energy, the fear
lessnesS and due efficiency with which
such corruption is cut out and the cor
suptionists punished The success of
the prosecutions in this case as com
pared with previous experiences in
prosecuting government officials who
have been guilty of malfeasance or mis-
feasance Is as noteworthy as 1t Is graf
flying and must be a source of encour-
agement to all men who believe in de-
cency and honesty in public life. What
has been accomplished by you, by
those who have worked under you in
your department and by the department
of justice, rebounds to the credit of our
whole people and is a signal triumph
for the cause of popular government. II
corruption goes unpunished in popular
government, then government by the
people will ultimately fail; and they are
the best friends of the people who
make it evident that whoever in public
Office or in connection with public Of
flee, sins against the fundamental laws
of civic and social we'll being, will be
punished with unsparing vigor.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Theodore Roosevelt"

Yin Kow, Feb. 2S.-Nineteen of the
crews of the Japanese steamers sunk
near the entrance of the Port Arthur
harbor last week reached shore near
Port Arthur and were taken prisoners
by the Russians.
1t is stated that there is no hope of
floating the battleship Retvizan and
that she will probably have to remain
where she is in the outer harbor until
the end Of the war unless in the mean
time well directed torpedo from Jap
anese sources reaches her.
The Czarevitch, torpedoed at same
time as the Retyizan, is now afioat and
by keeping the pumps constantly in
action, her commander is able to keep
her from sinking, Divers are trying to
repair her as she cannot be accomo-

Invented by DR.. Loeb-Cross Between
Star Fish and Sea Urchin.
Chicago, Feb. 28.-The creation of
a new species Of sea animal by the
use of salt solution and crossing two
varieties has been acc ,mpllsed hy DR..
Jacques Loeb, the Dhysio,ogist, for
merly at Chicago, and now at the Uni
versity of California, who is trying to
solve the mysteries of living matter.
The news has come in an article pub
lished by DR. Loeb in Phuger's Archiv,
a scientific journal printed in Ger
man.
The crossing of the sea urchin and
the star fish is involved. Star fish
and sea urchins live in the ocean un-
der the same conditions, but screns-
lists have found that in the natural sea
water the two kinds of animals do
not cross as do many species of ami.
mails.
DR.. Loeb used an alkaline soluti, n
containing the salts OF sea water and
sodium hydrate. The result was a
new child of sea life neither sea ur-
chin nor star fish, but a sample of a
new species combining the qualities
of both.

Huntington, w. Va, Feb. 2S.-Charles

The trial lasted ten days, during the
latter of which three of the jurors SIT
ting in the case tainted in the pury
box. Two of the men tainted within a
few minutes OF each other and an hour
later when the jury reassembled third
