LEWIS FRAUD ORDER CASE
Arguments Begun at ST. Louis Today
Injunction.

ST. LOUIS. July 1S.-Arguments were be-
gun today before Judge Smith Mcpherson
IN the United States circuit court on the
petition filed by Edward g. Lewis asking
that the fraud order issued by Postmaster
General Cortelyou denying Lewis and the
Peoples United States Bank the use OF the
mails be set aside. At the opening of court
District Attorney Dyer filed an answer to
Lewis petition for Injunction. He alleges
Congress has authorized the Postmaster
General to issue such a fraud order against
the Lewis bank, and has constituted him
court of last resort In such cases. and that
under the congressional act the Postmaster
EeneraIs action cannot be attacked in
court or equity unless he is charged with
fraud or malice.
That the use OF the mails Is a mere priv
liege conferred by Congress. and that there
lore the Withholding of the privilege for
reasons authorized by Congress Is not a
violation of the Constitution"
In accordance with the terms of the
fraud order all mail addressed to Lewis
and the bank was returned to the senders
on and after July until July IL, when a
temporary restraining order was granted
by Judge Mcpherson directing the post
master to hold the mail in the st. Louis
post office pending q decision on the appIi-
cation for an Injunction filed by Lewis.

CHARGE WITH THE BAYoNET.
American Infantry Arm Has the Short

From Pail Mall Gazette.

From Pail Mail Gazette
The United States have rather laid aside
the saber in favor of gunnery but now
comes the .lesson" of the barrels. The
Americans are sharpening their sabers ana
searching for old ones that have remained
In store since the civil war. This is the re-
suit of an order from the war secretary.
And an agitation against the new rod bay

DER The agitatorr would like to see it re-
placed by the old iznife bayonet, or at least
heightened If it be retained. 1t was chosen
for Its lightness and it was not only tmn'
but also short. AS the new Springfield rifle
is also short the length of the arm for bay
onet work is the shortest in the world. That
would not matter if battles are really to be
decided by rifle fire and gun fire alone, put
If once it is believed in an army that men
will often have to defend their lives with
their bayonets the moral question is at once
introduced No army could afford that
leakage of confidence which would be the
result of using a mistrusted weapon.
This is to say no more than Will meet
with general agreement. 1t is not by any
means necessary to assume that the les
sons which the Americans are acting upon
are true. Before We can be convinced that
the bayonet will really play again a Ma
poeonic part we must be properly informed
as to the quality of the Russian gun and
rifle fire, which, in the first place, was d.
rected to stop the Japanese rushes.
Whatever be the truth about that, it is ex-
tremely Interesting to see that consid-
cradle part Of instructed military opinion

alma shorter barreled rifle and a shorter
bayonet reach. The new Springfield rifle is
six inches shorter in the barrel than the
Krag- Jorgensen. The official tests were
thought to prove that the short barrel was
accurate as the old one, but the odd
thing attached to the bayonet work at the
time was that the new bayonet was not
only not heightened to compensate for the
shorter rifle. but was actually made shorter
than the old one
Roughly. the length of the American rifle
with the bayonet Is now fifty-four inches
the new barrel being twentyfour inches
The French measurement over all Is sew
enty-one inches, the German sixty nine
inches, the Russian sixty-eight inches. the
Japanese sixty-five inches and the British
sixty-one inches IN the case of the old rifle
and about five inches less in the case of the
new rife. In these rough measurements
parts of an inch have been disregarded. AS
for the rod bayonet, it is comparable as an
infantry weapon with what the majority of
our cavalry officers appeared to desire as
cavalry weapon after the Boer war.

at the present day there are less than two

than two-thrds of these are pupe bred, the
remainder being the offspring of mares
