ACCUSE RURAL
NAIL CARRIERS
Recent Candidates for Con-
gress File Allegations of
Pernlcious Activity"

WASHINGTON. Dec. 8. Several
weeks ago. in the heat of the Presi-
Dental campaign, complaints were
made to the President and to the Post
master General by several members of
Congress who were candidates for re-
election that they were being made the
victims of systematic plan on the part
or the Rural Letter Carriers Associa-
tlon to defeat them unless they should
accede to certain demands of the asso-
citation. One of these was that the car
rlers should have AN increase of pay. A
special effort was made by members of
the association TO embarrass Repre-
sentative Overstreet of Indiana, chair
man of the Postoffce and Post Roads
Committee of the House, because it is
alleged, he had not done for the rural
carriers what they believed he ought,to
have done
BY direction of the President. an IN
Vestigation was instituted by the POST
master General. If the charges be main
tanned, as is now expected, there prob
ably will he general overhaulirs Of

REVISIONISTS
DISAPPEARING
Sentiment Favoring Changes
in the Tariff Is Rapidly
Dying Out in Washington
Special Dispatch to The Call.


CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-Sentiment
for tariff revision is dying raptsiy
Members of Congress who have
come to Washington from the West
appear to be putting in the fin
ishing blows on the revision SEN
timent by reporting that the will of the
people Of the West is to be considered
The tariff, it seems to be generally be-
lieved, will be left as it is, at least until
the next regular session of Congress
The tariff revisionists of the East
have represented the Northwestern
States and Pacific Coast States as be-
ing especially insistent on some tariff
changes. but the representatives from
these States say that no such sentiment
exists. Representative Knowland of
California, who arrived here to-day,
says that in his State there is no senti-
ment for tariff revision. He declares
that he has not heard even a Democrat
changed.
Statesmen from Oregon, Washington,
Minnesota and the Dakotas say that
they have found among their people no
sentiment for revision. although some
OF them are pretty eager for some sort
of reciprocity With Canada. A mem
Der Of the Cabinet said to-day:
You can stake your reputation on
this prediction-There viii be no revi-
sion Of the tariff " ithin a year from to-
day. 1t is becoming plain that the peo-
pie are not ready for revision"

RUSHING WORK :
ON EXPOSITION
Several Large Structures
for the Lewis and Clark
Fair Are Nearly Finished

PORTLAND, Or. Dec. 3.-Next
principal exhibit buildings at the Lew
is and Clark Exposition. With the
foreign exhibits buildings already fin
ished and the administration group
practically done the contractors have
placed large forces of men at work.
The exposition management is equally
anxious to have the buildings com
pleted. as it is a matter of but few
days now before the exhibits will
begin to arrive from st. Louis for
storage. The work that remains to be
interior finishings. The group of
buildings commenced last spring are
nearly completed.
The buildings that are so nearly
ready for occupation include the Ag-
ricultural Palace, the Liberal Arts
building, the Fire Department build
ing. the Public Comfort building, the
Public Shelter building and Admins
tration building. Work is also being
rushed on the Festival Hall, the Ma
chinery, Electricity and Transporta-
ton Palace and the Oregon State
building. In the near future another
force of men will be at work on the
new 6O,000-foot exhibit building,
which the exposition management de-
cided during the last week to build.
Much work is being done on the Gov
ernment building on the Peninsula in
Guilds Lake, and there is every rea-
son to believe the Governments group
will be ready at least thirty days be-
fore the opening of the exposition.

BALLOTS TELL
DAMNINC TALE
Handwriting Expert Gives
Startling Evidence in Den
yer Election Fraud Cases
CROOKED WORK SHOWN
Witness Says Two Different
Kinds of Ink We're Used on
the Votes in One Ward

DENVER, Colo, Dec. S.-Startling
developments were made in the SUI
preme Court in the trial of the SIX
election officials of Ward 8, Precinct g.
who are charged with contempt
George H. King, handwriting expert
said that fifty-seven of the ballots IN
the box had been written by ten dlr-
ferent persons. The highest number
written by one person was nineteen
The lowest was two. Five RepuDll-
can ballots were written by one per-
son. The other fifty-two ballots on
which the expert noted similarity or
handwriting were Democratic.
'It is evident that two kinds of ink
were used in the writing of the bal
lots" said King. Whether this was
occasioned by two different kinds be-
ing furnished by the Election Com
mission or whether certain ballots
were written outside the booths, Of
course, 1 am unable to say"
1t is the general belief among the
tempt proceedings closely that the re-
suit Of the discoveries made by the
court will be to bring the ballot box
of every precinct where contempt is
charged into court for examination.
There are six more precincts in which
election officials are awaiting trial for
contempt.

slit BEGUN TO RECOVER
STRAUSS INHERITANCE TAX

Another attack upon the constitu-
tionality Of the collateral inheritance
law is 10 be made by Attorneys Ga
route & Goodwin for Philip I. Fisher,
who is assignee of the claims of Jacob,
Abraham and Sigmund Stern, heirs of
Levi Strauss. The inheritance tax as
sessed against them was S39,5OO and
when il was paid. under protest, on
June %, 1904, with interest added, the
total amounted TO $4O.155 As. Fisher
sues City and County Treasurer Nc
Dougald for the recovery of this sum.
The San Francisco call., 1904-12-04
Lehigh Brussels

1t is set forth in the complaint that
the tax was paid under protest, but
that the law under which it was col
lected is unconstitutional, being class
legislation and violative of the four
teenth amendment of the constitution
OF the United States.
Strauss died in September, 1902. and
the estate went into probate, bu- Judge
Coffey declined to approve the final
settlement and order the distribution
until the inheritance tax had been
paid The heirs were anxious to have
the estate distributed and said that
damage would have resulted from fur
ther delay and for that reason the tax
was paid and the protest entered.
