ton of Reservoir.

year after the first attempt, and re-
peatedly offered him $3.50 to blow up
the gates and he finally accepted.
This farmer represented number Of
farmers who assembled at Montezuma
and there laid the plot. He says that
the dynamite was stolen from the
Henry Hans stone quarry, six miles
south of Montezuma.

OUSTED FROM OFFICE.
President Roosevelt Requests Public
Printer F. w. Palmer to Resign.

Washington, Sept. G.-Public Print
er F. w. Palmer practically has been
ousted from office. 1t was learned
dent Roosevelt had demanded Mr.
Palmer's resignation, to take effect on
the 18th inst.
The demand of the president for Mr..
Palmers resignation was due primari-
ly to the latter's action in trying to
force Oscar j. Ricketts,, foreman of
printing, and l.. C. Hay, foreman of
division out of the government
printing Office. Mr.. Palmer asked for
the designations of Ricketts, and Hay
on the ground that they had been in
subordinate. The public printer for
mulated a series of charges against
the two men. These charges were
forwarded to Oyster Bay.
AS soon as President Roosevelt
learned of the situation he directed
him his resignation, to take effect in
two weeks.
1t has been known for some time
that Mr.. Palmer would not be reap
pointed to his present office. For
several months before President
Roosevelt left Washington for Oyster
Bay he was casting about for suit
able man for the position of public
printer He offered it to John A.
Sleicher, of New York, but he declined
it, having something better in view.
The investigation made by the Keep
commission into the letting of con-
tract for 70 Lanston typesetting ma
chimes for use in the government
printing office disclosed serious con-
dition of affairs in the management of
the Office. Prominent men In the Of
fee force were divided into cliques.
The cliques were so detrimental to
interests of the government that
the standard of efficiency in the estab-
lishment was reduced materially.
The evidence adduced by the com
mission in the course of its inquiry
created much bitter feeling among the
men holding high positions in the Of
flee.
