WASHINGTON LETTER..
From our Regular Correspondent

The recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court, denying the
petition of George w. Beavers for a
writ Of habeas corpus with which he
hoped to escape trial in the courts of
the District of Columbia, has served to
bring to light the inadequacy of the
present laws affecting criminals and to
emphasize once more the necessity Of
the statute recommended by Attorney
General Knox and by the President
which would provide that where an Of
fetal OF the government or other per-
son was indicted for defrauding the
government he might be tried in any
court the Department Of Justice
deemed best, irrespective of the juris-
diction under existing statutes.
George w. Beavers, it will be re-
membered, was chief of the division Of
salaries and allowances of the Postoffice
Department. When the postal officials
first suspected that he had been dis
honest and began to inspect the books
of his division he resigned and fled to
New York. In the fall of 1903 he was
indicted eight times on as many differ
ent counts and ever since then he has
managed, by taking advantage of the
delays of the law, to resist extradition
from New York and to ward off his
trial in the District of Columbia where

How to Escape Ljuhtninn-

Excellent authorities agree that in a
thunderstorm the middle of a room is
much the safest place in house. A
carpeted floor or one covered by a
heavy thick rug is better to stand on
than bare wood. 1t is well to keep
away from chimneys and out of eel
lars In the open air tall trees are
dangerous. A person sheltered under
a low tree or shrub thirty or forty feet
from a large and lofty tree is quite
safe. If lightning strikes in the i'm
mediate vicinity it will hit the high
tree as a rule, with few exceptions.
Water is very good conductor, and it
is we'll to avoid the banks of streams
in violent thunderstorm.

Took Rinu and Bonus, Too,

In an uptown jewelry store one day
last autumn woman was accused of
filching ring, but after a careful
search of her person by the police ma
iron it was impossible to find the
stolen article. The woman indignant
ly reproached the owner of the store
and threatened to sue him. To pre-
vent future trouble in court he paid
her certain amount of money.
If the jewelry man had known an
old trick he would have looked for the
ring under the edge of the counter,
where it was fastened with a piece of
chewing gum, to which the woman
had affixed it. and from which place
later in the day her accomplice got it.

The discovery OF the defalcatlon OF
q million and half dollars by +. U.
Bigelow, president of the First Nat
.ional Bank of Milwaukee, the
greatest institution of it's kind in Wis
consin, caused no little excitement
and continues to be the all-absorblng
tonic. The case is almost unparalleled In
the history of the country, and Is
simply another story of man s avarlce
and desire to grow rich rapidly by
gambling in stocks, using money
which was not his own in the trans
actions. Fortunate indeed is It that
that the defalcation was discovered ere
the bank stock too had been swept
away. AS it is. only the accumulated
pr offs are lost to the rich bank own
ers. and the thousands OF deposl-
tors will lose nothing.

The printing committees OF the
houses of congress have begun an IN
vestigation of the printing once
which. it is believed, will result m
revelations of extravaganza, if nothing
worse, approximating in public Inter
est the postoffice department scandal.
At present the various executive de-
partments are engaged in making an
abstract of all the work they have
ordered from the printing Office dur
ING the last fourteen years. In that
period the expenditure on account OF
printing has risen from $4,000 to
more than Sc, 10000 per annum. The
peculiar facts are that while the print
ING bill has increased by more than
25O per cent. the orders of the depart
ments, as shown by rough estimates,
have rot increased nearly so much.
The orders may have called for 100
per cent more of work, but the cost
has gone up more than double.
The amount of government statis-
tics, speeches, reports, ETC., that have
been sent through the mails of late
shows plainly that expenses is the last
consideration. 1t is indeed time that
some reform in this department were
enacted.

Home Of Swamp-Ro

It was late, but they went to the mill

night shirt that he did not want to

"but it is not for SALE"
'We'll give you four hundred thou

Five hundred. said the drunken

To make long story short, the man
finally came down to the door. went
with them to a club, and sold his mill
for several times what it was worth.
The fnanciers sold it to their trust
for twice what it cost them in waterec
stock, and then they sold their trust
out to the United States Steel company
at so high price that even Morgan
quailed. But Morgan took it and, as
we all know, he sold il to US. All this
was possible under the Jersey law per-
hitting trust directors to put their
own value on purchased companies.

next String of legislation was to enable
promoters to buy up competing COM
panies without paying money for them.
They were permitted to paw with
shares in the trust. In 1891 an act
was passed permitting directors to is
sue additional stock. and another
authorizing them to ''buy property and
paw stock therefor" In the famous
revision of 1896 all powers necessary
to water and pour forth stock were
rounded up in the famous dummy dl-
ractor clause which declared that 1.-The
iud gment of directors as to the value
of property purchased shall be con-
clusive.n The meaning of this law
may be brought out in story Edwin

THE PAsT VIZ "a lie wAR.
Battle Of Hun River Was a FierceIy
FOUGHT One.


Last week witnessed the close of
what win probably be known as the
battle of the Hun river. The Russians
had shown activity all along the line,
but the most aggressive work was
done against the Japanese left wing.
Oku's defenses were heavily lombard
ed for several days and there were con-
slant clashes between advanced bodies
of troops that were attempting to Sc
cure strong positions. The Japanese
finally took the aggressive and the re-
suit has practically been a failure Of
Kuropatkin to gain single advantage
by his winter movement.
The fighting has been fierce and un-
der the worst conditions possible. A
low temperature and binding snow
storms have subjected both sides to
great suffering and such misery of war
has probably not been endured since
some Of the Napoleonic campaigns.
Wounds of every sort have been agon-
izing and the impossibility of giving
quick relief in the freezing atmosphere
has resulted in large mortality.
Despite the adverse conditions. the
activity has continued in desultory
way all through the week. The Rus
slams have been driven to the right
bank of the Hun, and while the Jap
anese may not feel like following up
any advantage they have gained, the
moral effect of this Kuropatkin fail
lre has been bad. It has shown that
The boosted Russian superiority in win
,er campaigning is as much a myth
rs many other things have been shown
% be, and the news of the failure
comes to European Russia at the most
nopportune time.

ENGINE BOILER BLOWS UP.
Throws Passenger Cars off of the
Track,

Utica, N. 1.-TWO trainmen lost
their lives and a score or more of pas
sengers were injured in a wreck on
the New York Central railroad at
Whitesboro, three miles west of here.
None of the injured was dangerously
hurt, their wounds being mainly cuts
and bruises.
The dead are: John Allen, engineer;
John Brennan, fireman of the locomo-
tive on the Western Express.
AS the train was passing the Buffalo
special eastbound, the boiler of the To-
connective of the westbound train ex-
ploded. The force of the explosion
and the upheaval of the engine threw
the entire 1S cars composing the
special" from the rails. The west
bound train did not leave the track,
but stopped with a suddenness and
shock which threw the occupants of
the berths backward with great force.
The strangest feature of the acct
dent, as it appeared to an onlooker,
was that the boiler of the westbound
locomotive was resting midway be-
tween the rails of the eastbound track
at point where the eastern train
had passed. This suggested the theory
to trainmen that the boiler had struck
the second car of the eastbound train
as it rushed by at the rate of so miles
an hour.
