Gen. Tyner, Mr. worthington said, did
not wish that after he had passed away
trials involving his case should proceed
and his good name he assailed. He wanted
to meet the charges while he was yet able
and 1t was for this reason the trial had
been proceeded with.
As Mr.. Worthington spoke thus in per-
sonal vein great tears welled from General
Tyners eyes. The situation was strained
one for all having part In the trial.
Witnesses, with the exception OF post
office inspectors who are to act as aids to
the prosecuting attorneys in the presenta-

kpecial Dispatch to The Evening Star.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, May 3.-It can be
positively stated that Senator Fairbanks
not only will not consent to any more vice
presidential talk, but that he will not be
considered a candidate by Indiana re-
publicans. This decision on the part of the
senator was made known to Indiana re-
publicans just prior to the recent state con-
vention 1t was at Fairbanks own request
that no Endorsement of him for vice presi-
dency be placed in the platform. He Is
trying to dodge the proposition. With this
decision on the part of the senator the
suggestion to have Charles ]. Murphy Sc
lected national chairman falls through.
Fairbanks had said that he would accept
the vice presidency provided he could name
the national chairman. Last week Fair
banks after consulting with Indiana lead
ers decided to stand aloof from the vice
presidency. For this reason Murphy's
name Is out of the craftsmanship running;
for this reason. also, there was confer
ence at the White House Sunday to decide
on another name for chairman.
Joseph B. Healing. United States district
TX <EEH
Fairbanks two senatorial campaigns, open
ly says that he thinks it would be mis-
take to nominate Fairbanks.
Senator Fairbanks he said, lis destined
to higher honors. and accepting the nomi-
nation for vice presidency would not help
him at ALL"
Meanwhile Indiana republicans are BOOM
ing Speaker Cannon for second place; of
course, not with the Speakers consent. 1t
is figured here that with Cannon out of the
speakership. Chairman Hemenway OF the
committee on appropriations would stand a
good chance for elevation to the speaker
ship.
At least this is the end that republicans
would like to attain.
Even Senator Fairbanks has put his
shoulder to the wheel to gain this result,
his friendship for Hemenway being one
cause.

Causes of Pressure for Cannon.

Speaker Cannon's friends have been sus-
picious for several days of the enthusiasm
to boom him for the vice presidency, In
spite of his oft-expressed refusal to stand
for that Office and have been inclined to
think that some motive other than afrec-
tionate regard for the Speakers political
welfare is behind 1t all.
The more suspicious of his friends have
limited that the eagerness displayed in SEN
atorical circles to make him Vice Presi-
dent might be due to the desire of the SEN
ators who found the Speaker determined
at the last session to insist upon the pre-
negatives of the House to a degree not late
ly manifested to get him out OF the seat OF
almost autocratic power which he now
holds, and place him in another CHAIR
where he would have practically no power
at all Another motive attributed was the
ambition of prospective candidates TOT the
speakership, and IT was thought that these
ambitious ones were tanning the flame OF
the Cannon vice presidential movement.
The Speaker has been very DUBIOUS OF
this vice presidential talk all along, ana
last week, as stated in The Star, caused
his friends to circulate a reiteration OF MS
fiat refusal to take the nomination. Ihese
friends even went so far as to say that II
the talk of Cannon for the vice presidency
continued, the Speaker would have TO de-
cline to preside at Chicago. for fear that an
effort would be made while he was In the
chair to stampede the convention for MIN.

upon said Tyner to ascertain In what par
ticulars It would be necessary to amend
said company's scheme SO as to relieve 1t
from objection and secure 1t the free and
unobstructed use of the mails. and was
told by Tyner that 1t would facilitate his
business II he would employ an attorney
familiar with that kind of business-Tyner
then and there recommending Barrett as
such attorney.
That Spenny Immediately thereafter
employed Barrett, and agreed to pay him
fee of $500 to obtain the approval Of
Tyner to scheme of business satisfactory
to the company: and thereupon. on the next
day, Barrett called upon Tyner In company
with Spenny. and submitted to him q
scheme amending the existing one OF said
company, which Tyner approved in a letter.
without examination and upon the verbal
assurance of Barrett that the same was
free from objection.
Court Of Appeals Opinion.
The Court of Appeals. in concluding its
opinion affirming the action Of Justice
Pritchard, who overrnled the demurrers to
the indictments under which Tyner and
Barrett are now on trial. said:
''The Post Office Department is charged
with the performance of great public
service in which the people of every state
territory and district are vitality interested
1.-THE complete enjoyment of the benefits
and advantages of this public service. as
we'll as the prevention OF evils that utiiize
the mails for their dissemination, depends
upon the integrity and efficiency OF the adj
ministration of the affairs of the Post Office
Department, particularly at its head In the
city Of WASHINGTON.
ANY wilful or corrupt misconduct on the
Part Of an official Of the department that
operates to impair this administration
works e. wrong to the United States and
does them some substantial injury. The in
jury may be pecuniary, that is to say, one
whereby public money or property may
have been taken, destroyed. or expended,
but 1t may also be one the general damage
resulting from which may be most serious
and far-reachiny, and set not of a specific
character susceptible of certain ascertain
nent and pecuniary compensation.
"Of this latter kind Is the injury en-
braced in the charges Of this Indictment,
and we are of tho opinion that 1t is within
the comprehension Of the statute which
makes punishable a conspiracy not only to
defraud the United States. but to defraud
them In any manner or for any purpose

to be not so strong as in the past in this
district, the confusion among the several
candidates and the nomination of new men
having been responsible for this. 1t was
thought that the majority of the voters In
Hillsdale and Garfield had preference for
the Van Wickle-P Patterson ticket or the
Cook-Reyburn combination, and the indica-
tons were that the struggle there would
be between these two. with the chances IA
voring the latter, although leaders IN be-
half of the former ticket had been doing
much quiet work and were confident OF the
result.
Only two judges instead of three are Of
ficiating In some of the districts, but the
election is going on Just the same. The
Simmons-Poe ticket seems to be knocked
out in ali Of the uptown districts. but is re-
reported to be strong in Southwest Wash
ington. The fight seems to have narrowed
down to the Van Wickle-Patterson and
Reyburn-Cook tickets.
