Boyd Faulkner and several Others,
Superintendent Thomas Fitzgerald, Of

1t was noticed that Postoffice In
spector, Ed. I. Allen. was lingering 1t
the post Office for several days last
week and on Thursday 1t began to b
whispered about the streets and hetsjs
that something was wrong and . few
hours later 1t developed that Charles
White, the assistant postmaster was
the culpable one, and that he was abort
in his money order accounts fully
81 200.
White, 1t was known, was drinking
tso much to give his employer efficient
service, but 1t was never intimated by
any one that be was using funds
that did not belong to him. He has
been sick at his home for some time
and was at the post office but little of
the time while the inspector was chock-
| ing his accounts but is now out again.
inspector Allen, left on Friday for
Washington and made his report but
up to the time Of writing there has been
no arrest made. White ID bonded in .
bonding company and the government
will not lose any Of the money.
White came from Bedford, Psnps
and was for some time = fireman on
the b. & y. railroad. He began taking
some interest in politics and when the
postoffics was given free delivery he APP
piled and passed the civil service ex-
animation Tor the position AZ istter
carrier and was employed AZ a substi-
tute. Shortly after Thomas Russler,
the assistant postmaster, died, AID
White was promoted to the position
and to all appearances was doing his
work efficiently and evidently to the
satisfaction of his superior and the de-
partment. His salary was III 200 per
year and ought have been enough for
him to live on. He has 4 wife and
several children, all of whom have the
sympathy of the entire community.
The penalty is heavy one but
whether or not the case will be prose-
cuted, will probably depend upon the
ability of the accused making good Or
the kindness of his friends.

For sweeping wheat in the railroad
yards in order that he mioht keep
body and soul together, Frank Crane,
i'll and penniless, was locked up at
Central station this morning.
Aside from having a serious disease
of the lungs, Crane has for two years
been sufferer from stomach trouble
and has been compelled to exist on a
purely vegetable diet. He has been
unable to do heavy work, and has man
aged to pick up a few odd jobs that
would keep him In food and fuel. I'm
til six weeks ago his wife was strong
and healthy and the two managed to
keep the wolf from the door.
She injured her hand while working
and blood poisoning developed She
was compelled to go to the city hos
pital and was discharged only q few
days ago. She is still unable to work
and Crane, tho much worse than he was
before her. illness, ahas tried to. provide
for the little family without asking for
aid. .%Ue
"A few days ago. Crane spent his last
dime for wheat that boys had swept
from the cars. This morning that gave
out. He makes his own -four from the
grain because he says 1t is the only food
that agrees with him. He decided to
sweep some Of the cars himself, He
went to- the railroad yards early this
morning and had gathered half sack
Of grain when the railroad special Of
ficers arrested him.
Told that he would have to stay in
jail all day, Crane broke down and
wept, saying thatShis wife would have
to go hungry until he could be released.
The police officers however, took com
passion on him. and by special permits
sion Of the court he was allowed to GO
free on his personal recognizance..

ANSWER THE
FOOTBALL LIBEL SUIT

After long silence. Golfers Weekly
has made an answer thru local attor-
neys to the suit fled some time ago by
James B. Irsfeld, the football player,
for alleged libel.
Since notice was first filed there has
been some question as to the service.
Garnishment proceedings were institut-
ed against accounts Of Collier 3 agents
in Minneapolis and st. Paul and service
made on the agents. The defendants
now move to set aside the service and
remove the garnishment as unauthor-
lied. The causefof action, it is claimed,
was not sufficient TO warrant the gar
nishment, and additional service is de-
MED.
The defendants7 attorneys announce
that they will appear on Jan. 90 to
make their motion for dismissal. j. H.
Mitchell Of st. Paul and N. D. Bessesen
of Minneapolis will represent Collier q,
but It is distinctly stated that their ap-
.pearanee is special and that they are
authorized agents for the appearance
only This caution is evidently taken
to prevent service upon them.

MAD DOGS CROPPING UP ON
Is, EVERY HAND.
City Bacteriologist Already Has Bodies
Of -Four Animals Believed to Have
Beeen Afflicted with Hydrophobia,
and Another Scare Today Will Give
Him Another Specimen.

Police and health department Off
cials are becoming greatly alarmed
over the apparent spread Of hydropho-
bia in all parts Of the city, and Mayor
Jones may be asked to enforce the or
dinance which authorizes him to order
all dogs muzzled in times Of danger.
DR.. Frank Corbett, city bacteriolo-
gist, already has the bodies Of four
dogs supposed to have been afflicted
with hydrophobia, and another mad
dog scare today will give him another
specimen.
At noon today detachment Of Of
N to kill dog that had gone mad and
snapped viciously at pedestrians and at
other dogs. The dog was first seen
children returning home from school.
He was then running madly about the
street with his head close to the
ground and was swapping at everything
he came near.
The children ran home and none Of
them was injured. Several men had
narrower escapes and they notified the
police. Several dogs that followed the
lice are now searching for them.
Two afflicted dogs were killed by
the police yesterday. One was shot
by Patrolman Charles Frame in North
east Minneapolis. This dog was Of
the same type as the one who bit the
six men on First avenue s few days
ago and he was killed only after a
hard chase. It is known to have at
tackled a man whose name is unknown
to the police, but was beaten off and
the man was uninjured. Nearly doz-
en- dogs had encounters with the af.
ficted, one and were bitten.
Patrolman Wylie of the North Side
station was also called out on mad
dog scare yesterday afternoon. A dog
unknown to any Of the persons who
saw him, ran amnck near Bryant and
Sixteenth avenues N. There were
few persons on the street at the time
and tho some dogs were said to have
been bitten they could not be found,
The officer shot the animal. 49,,
:. AL three of these dogs were taken
in charge by the health department
and tests are being made to learn II
they are afflicted with the terrible dis.
ease. Policemen have been instructed
to. keep a careful watch on all dogs
acting in a suspicious manner. No &C.
ton win probably be taken until the
tests now being made are completed,
Il it is found that hydrophobia exists
every dog in the city will probably be
muzZled. = a.A i

NEW WORKERS LEFT OUT
IRREGULARITIES AND MAsONS' IN
TERNATIONAL UNION KEEPS
OFFENDING DELEGATES OUT
IN COLD. -

Contrary to their expectation, the
New York unions suspended for viola
ton of the laws of the Bricklayers ard
Masons International union, which is
in convention at Normanna hall, were
not reinstated today. Instead Of seat
ing the seventeen New York delegates
who have been waiting outside for
nearly two weeks, the convention voted
that the revolving unions should re-
main suspended until such time as they
should signify an Intention to conform
to the laws of the B. M. /. u.
The question at issue between the
New York locals and the international
is the letting of bricklaying and fire.
proofng contracts. The law of the
international provides that the con.
tractor may let one contract for the
bricklaying and another for the install
lation Of concrete boxes and other
forms Of freproofng. The New York
ers have insisted upon. all the work be-
ing done under one contractor and
have charged bribery and corruption
on the part Of the freproof concerns,
reaching into the ranks Of the interna-
tional itself.
Their objection to the separate con-
tract is. that it gives the bricklayer a
job in the summer on outside construc-
ton, but throws him when winter sets
IN and inside work begins. They fought
the separate contract rule when it was
adopted two years ago and have since
openly violated it. The present con-
vention has slightly modified the law 50
as to conform somewhat to the New
York demand, but has refused to grant
any terms save unconditional surrender
to the rebels.
The Chicago contest has been quietly
settled by seating the delegation hav-
ing written credentials. Committee re-
ports have been read and adopted rap.
idly. Most Of them pertained to rout-
inc internal affairs, and called forth
no debate. The committee on ,subordi.
nate unions has reported that $50 new
unions were organized in 1908.
-Four committees still have to report
but the officers hope that the business
ton Of officers, will be concluded by
Saturday night. Tonight the visit.
ing delegates will be guests of locals

Temple.

And CALLED POLICE.

A pretty cashier in q downtown de-
partment store was the undoing Of
Charles Blewett when he tried to pass
q raised bill after making q small pt1r-
chase. After purchasing collar he ten
dered the bill and it was in turn sent
to the cashier. The crude work Of the
man who raised it from 81 to SIS attract
ed her attention. Without telling any
one about her to attract attention, she
quietly telephoned for the police.
Patrolman Duffy was sent out and
when ne arrived at the store Blewett
was waiting for his change. He could
not explain how he secured the money
and was locked up.
When no was searched at police head
quarters three 81 bills were found on
his person, but they had not been tam
pered with. He will be arraigned in
police court tomorrow morning.
