FOUR BRIBERY CASES.
In Which Government Is Prosecutor
and Prominent Men Defendants.

Washington, Dec. 3O.-The govern
ment is preparing to push to speedy
trial here the cases of four prominent
and wealthy men now under indict-
ment for bribery.
George W. Beavers, of Brooklyn,
former superintendent of the division
of salaries and allowances of the post
office department, will be tried first
under the charge of conspiracy and
bribery with former Senator George
E. Green of Binghamton, N. Y, in
connection with the purchase by the
department of Bundy time clocks.
The expectation is to call this case
about the middle of January. Beav-
ers is still striving to secure a settle
ment whereby he can escape with a
light sentence by entering a plea of
guilty. The Green case will likely be
called next.
The other cases are those Of Con-
gresham Binger Hermann, OF Oregon,
and the millionaire capitalist of San
Francisco. John A. Benson. indicted
for completely in the far western tim
Der and land frauds Hermann is
expected in the city tomorrow. His
ostensible purpose is to attend to his
duties in congress, and it is under
stood he may raise the issue that he is
not amenable for trial during that
service.
The government expects further
trouble with Benson, who ever since
his Indictment has used the courts
without stint. but has been unsuccess-
full except in delaying action. He
again lost today. Judge Martin in the
criminal court Oyerruling a demurrer
to the indictment for bribery His
main contention was that at the time
he paid money to clerk at the in
terror department there was not any
report upon its files. hence the clerk
was not under any duty concerning it
after the special agents IN his case
had acted. The court ruled that while
the duty was not concrete, it was abb
stract and was binding.

Shawnee County Poor Farm Not Like
Those Described by Mr.. johnson.

When asked asked relative to the
statements made in a speech delivered by
State Labor Commissioner Johnson at
the state meeting of the Associated
Charities Friday in which county hos
pitfalls or poor farms came in for rather
severe condemnation, County Commits
sioner Sterne Said
Il do not see that an aIlusion is made
to the commissioners Of this county in
any way. Our county poor farm is nor
described at all or are any Of the con-
dftions which exist there such as those
described by Mr.. johnson. The name Is
about the only thing that makes the poor
farm Of this county a poor place in which
to reside. The farm is one Of the best
in the county and the buildings are large
and con1mOdious. The houses and barns
and kept painted and in the best of re-
pair and the place resembles a large well
kept private farm rather than a place
which the county maintains for the. bene-
NJ OF It's unEortunates. The conditions OF
course are not ideal but the inmates are
made as comfortable as possible under
the conditions with which fate has sur
rounded them. There has never been any
scandal connected With the institution
under the management OF the present
pure as is possible.
Our present superintendent Of the poor
farm Mr.. Taylor I consider an ideal
man for the place. He is kind and at
tentive to the inmates and has their con-
fdence to such an extent that they are
wiling and anxious to do everything in
their power to add to the successful
management of the farm. The buildings
and fences are painted at a small cost
10 the county each spring. The county is
only out the cost of the paint and all Of
the labor is done at add times by the in
mates who ind the work a recreation
rather than a burden Each spring gar
oens are planted which furnish veget-
ables enough to supply the institution
throughout the summer season Fruit
enough is raised on the farm to keen
the place well supplied with sweets un-
til vegetables are available the next sea-
canned goods cost the county is the sugar
necessary to their preservation as the
Work OF preparing them is done by the
women who are on the farm
1t has been the object of the present
board of county commissioner. and the
dltlons as pleasant as possible for the in
mates. Each year committee from the
InS4eSAde nome Tor aged ladies select five
OF the most Intelligent and respectable
ladies who through their poverty have
become inmates of the county institution
and they are placed in this institution
ana the county pays q small fee for their
keep. This fee IS really but a little more
than It would cost to keep them on the
farm and they receive better attention
surrounded by Objectionable companions
by placing some of the more intelligent
and refined women in Ingleside we not
only furnish them with better accommo-
dauons than We can give them, but We
assist in maintaining this institution and
county
THE conditions which Mr.. johnson de-
scribes may exist in some of the counties
OF the state but not in Sk@Iynee county,
