partment of the Post Office. was per-
emptorily dismissed yesterday. The order
Of dismissal was received from the Act
ing Second Assistant Postmaster General.
who Is chief of the Division of Salaries

ron.
The case originated a month ago. when

negreSs. Later another negresS called
and declared to Major Showers that
the money order was payable to her and
that 1t had been collected by the other
woman ON false pretensea. Showers said
that the women had come to the office
together and intimated. the Inspectors
say. that they were in collision to com
pei n double VINE on the order. TIT
Majors language Is said to have been in
syslling. and the order of dismissal states
that he admitted using harsh words.
Major Showers Is IL veteran of the Civil
War. and was appointed two years ago.
He occupied one OF the few EXCEPTED po-
sitions." outside of the Civil Service, which
made his peremptory dismissal possible.

MANT0N CONFIDENT
OF ACQUITTAL
Indictment ON Larceny Charge
May Necessitate Suspension
as Clerk of Court.

John j. Manton. Clerk OF the Court OF
Criminal Correction. against whom three
Indictments Were returned yesterday
charging grand larceny. the result Of tn"
investigation of the affairs of the Cor
oner's Office. where he formerly was en-
ployed as stenographer. denies the charges
and says he is confident that he will be
eNoueratsd az the proper time.
The indictments were returned with the
first partial report OF the Grand Jury to
Judge Mcdonald at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. Manton was not In his office at
the time, but his chief clerk. John j.
Burke. arranged bond for him at once.
Judge Taylor fixed the bonds at $500 In
each Of the three cases. Chris Schumacher
signed them and Man,on attached his sig
nature as soon as he arrived at the -Four
Courts.
It's a revelation to me- declared Man
ton. Il know nothing of any transcripts
of evidence supplied tie Transit Company
by the CorSner's office except in the regu-
lar way. l never had anything 10 do
with them. 1t comes more as a surprise
TO me now, when 1 am informed that the
Coroner is the principal witness against
me.
Before | was elected Clerk of the Court
OF Criminal Correction and wa1 stenos-
rapher In the Coroner's ofice. he said to
me several times that he wished l would
not be elected and would stay with him.
IL seems unusual to ms now that he
SHOULD make such charges against me. l
feel confident OF acquittal, and only ask
my friends to withhold Judgment until l
show i'll court how foolish these charges
are"
The indictments against Manton charge
the transportation. al toeether, OF &iSS.
One sets forth that on February ., 1907,
he took S33. 50. the property of Coroner
khouser. The second count charges
that he kept the money as bai.ee by bail
The second charge specifies go. ana
the other Indictment names Als.S as TIE
amount.
All are based on the same charge that
Manton. while stenographer in the Cor
oner's office. furnished the Transit Com
pany with transcripts of evidence taken at
inquests on persons killed by the COM
pany'S cars
When the roubles in the Coroner's office
first became known Doctor Frank II.
Rongfer. the chief deputy, who was dis
charged. made charges that Coroner Funk
houser had been selling these transcripts.
Doctor Funkhouser says he made IL a
practice 10 supply them whenever they
were wanted. and charged the legal rate.
Counselor saying he has the right TO 90
this.
Manton's indictment may necessitate his
suspen.ion as clerk. This would be done
by the Governor or Circuit Judges.
Another indictment was returned yes.
terday. making five all together, asainst
John D. O'keefe. 1t is charsed that
Funkhouser. O'Keefe was recently, dis
charged as n Deputy Coroner, and ths
Grand Jury has voted other indictments
against him.

Toxic, May g. (Noon) - The au.
thoritative announcement is made
here today Sunday that the Jap
anese land forces captured Feng
Wang Chang on Friday. News Of
the victory, which is regarded as a
most important one, has aroused
much enthusiasm.
According to the reports received
at the capital, General Kurokis,
taking advantage Of the demoral-
ization and confusion into which
the Russians had been thrown by
their previous defeat on the Yalu,
pressed forward and attacked
them. The Russians fled after short
resistance, leaving the japanese in
undisputed possession Of the town.
Because Of the Importance Of
Feng Wang Cheng, the victory is
regarded as a very great one for
the japanese army, which is now
firmly entrenched in Manchusia. :
