Harrison ]. Barrett Also Figures Promi-
nently in Philadelphia
Exposures.

The Philadelphia division of the Post
Office Department inspectors is now un-
dergoing a thorough investigation be-
cause Of the recent admission of In
spector George c. Holden that he had
accepted a loan of SLIGO from F. E.
Storey, of the Storey Cotton Company,
upon which the department has had its
eye for some time, prior to the recent
exposures.
Another sensational development in
the Storey Cotton Company is the fact
that Harrison ]. Barrett. a nephew of
ex-Assistant Attorney General Tyner
and at one time his uncles' right-hand
man, has admitted that he fixed the
mail matter of the Storey Company so
that it would pass through the malls
without question. His advice was fol-
lowed implicitly by the Cotton Com
pany.
Holden's Transactions.
George C. Holden had been assigned to
investigate the Storey concern, and
twice he recommended that a fraud or
der be issued, but the evidence was not
Forthcoming, and no action was taken.
No one ever thought that Holdens
conduct could be questioned. His repa-
tation was so good that he was known
throughout the service as Honest
George"
Re is one OF the oldest and most reli-
able inspectors in the Philadelphia divis-
ions, and his admission that he had re-
ceived such a large sum from an officer
Of the concern he was Investigating has
created sensation in the Postoffice De

Postmaster General Cortelyou detailed
Inspector Mayer. now in charge of the
New York division, to go to Philadel-
phia and make complete investiga-
ton of the Holden case, and other mat
ters connected with the inspection serv-
ice there. Charges have frequently been
made that the inspectors at Philadelphia
are lax in performing their duties.

The President saw what occurred.
Reaching over ne caught General
Wheeler by the hand and drew him to
his side He held on to General Wheeler
and, laughing and talking with him,
carried him all the way down to the
place where he got on the train.
The Presidents every word and glance
evidenced his delight at being UP and off
on a holiday. 1t is characteristic of hin,
to hate monotony. The past session of
Congress was unusually trying, with its
daily routine OF callers of all sorts, from
Senators down to minor offleeseekers
For two months the scenes will be va

of speechmaking and public entertain

he will hide for five or six weeks.
His last official act this morning was
to sign several blank commissions,
which Assistant Secretary Barnes car
red to the train. AS the start was de-
layed 1t was touch and go TO get the
commissions signed.
Mr.. Barnes was there, however, with
pen and ink. The President wrote his

Mr. Barnes caught him on the train and
obtained the necessary signatures just

morning over the Pennsylvania Railroad
for a two months tour through the
South and Southwest.
His special train was scheduled to
leave the Pennsylvania station at 3
o'clock sharp, but 1t was 9:oI before
the Presidents carriage drove up to
the train shed and sos when the train
moved off
The delay was caused by an accident

the Presidents horses slipped and fell
hard as he reached this point
The horse became so entangled in the

horse was unhurt, and was able to go on
as soon as his harness was adjusted.

offered the anti-Mormon resolution. The
resolution went direct to the committee
on the state of the church, and was re-
ferred back to the conference without
recommendation The committee ex-
planned it had had no opportunity to in
yestigate the assertions made in the
preamble of the paper.
1t reads as follows:
Whereas the disclosures made be-
fore the Committee on Privileges and
Elections of the United States Senate
in regard to the method and practices
of the Mormon Church show that this
organization Is violating. through its
leaders, the law of the land. and that it
is reasonable organization owing its

Whereas the disclosures coming out
almost daily in Utah prove that the

Whereas the Mormon institution has

Percy Pond has purchased of Byron
o. Clark of Wahiawa thirty milking
cows, mostly thoroughbred Jerseys.
This is practically the entire herd OF
mature animals, Mr.. Clark retaining
only the young stock. This herd is one
of the finest herds of Jerseys to be
found anywhere and was formerly the
property of Hon. w. G. Irwin of Ho-
nolulu. Many of the COWS were origin
ally imported from the Channel Islands
and fresh blood was continually intro
duced by Mr.. Irwin, from the best
thoroughbred stock IN the Western
states. Mr.. Pond also purchased a
bull. which Is from the celebrated
Pierce herd of thoroughbred Jerseys Of
California, and is said to be one of the
