BEAVERS DECISION SOON

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 8.-With
the conviction of the Machen crowd public
interest in the postoffiee frauds will now
turn to the case of George w. Beavers, in
dicted in Brooklyn and in Washington for
conspiracy in the postal frauds. The
case came up for argument in the supreme
court today on an appeal from the decision
of the United States commissioner and
the judge of the circuit court of New York
directing that Beavers must go to Brooklyn
to stand trial If the supreme court de-
cides that Beavers must face the indict-
ments which have been waiting for him in
Brooklyn since last fall, it will be for the
prosecution to decide what will become of
the indictments in Washington. These
have been holding back for the decision on
the Brooklyn indictments.
Beavers, who was superintendent of the
salaries and allowances division, with head
quarters at Washington, resigned when the
investigation of postoffice frauds first be-
gan. He was not drawn into it directly,
although his name was mentioned in con-
nection with various shady transactions,
until the inspectors got after E. J. Brandt
Dent & Co., which had sold change making
machines worth thousands of dollars to the
postoffice department. These were of no
use to the clerks and had been thrown
aside in nearly every instance. Working
on this line the inspectors found that when
Edmund II. briggs, of Brooklyn, was con.
gresham he had dealings with Beavers and
the Brandt-Dent company. Checks, bank
books and other testimony before the
grand jury in Brooklyn last summer re-
suited in several indictments for Beavers,
briggs and the BrandtDent people. Joint
indictments of Beavers and briggs were
quashed on teehnicalities, but Others result
ed, on which briggs recently served
nominal day in prison and paid a fine OF
$4,000. Beavers would not stand trial.
Before he was indicted he went to Man
haitian, out of the jurisdiction of the grand
jury which indicted him. He has stayed
outside of that federal jurisdiction ever
since, and has fought by every possible
means any legal steps to compel him to
stand trial in Brooklyn, where he would
have to undergo preliminary examination
before a commissioner, thus disclosing
part of his defence.

woman who must be on her feet a great
part of the day These mats can be made
at home, the thicker the better. Take
corn husks-if they are dry, moisten them
enough to make their pliable-and braid
them into long strands. When they are
braided, make them into mats, beginning
at the center to wind them, holding the
strands together by sewing them with
Irvine carried by long, heavy needle. If
one mat is found too thin to give relief,
two or more can easily be sewed together

CRUISER TACOMA
ON TRIAL TRIP

A dispatch from San Francisco says
that the new protected cruiser Tacoma
put to sea yesterday for her first trial
trip under naval regulations. The trial
made some time ago was under the super
vision of the builders and proved entirely
satisfactory. There is little doubt but
that the present trial will result to the
entire satisfaction of the officials who are
in charge of the test.
On her return from this trip the cruiser
will be brought to Tacoma.

THE PICTURESQUE FOR MEN.

London tailors are of the opinion that
while women are turning themselves into
flower beds, men, also, should shine. They
maintain that there will be a change al
most at once in evening dress. They claim
that there is a demand for knee breeches,
and orders have been given for dress coats
with crimson silk lining and collar.
The kings fancy for attractive uniforms
is considered responsible for the desire
among men for more picturesque clothing.
