END OF PROSECUTION
CHARGE AGAINST GEO. e. GREEN
TO BE NoLLE PRESSED.

The criminal prosecution Of former State
Senator George E. Green of Binghamton.
N Y for alleged connection with lie Post
Office Department scandals of 1903 has been
ended. The government has decided to
abandon the last of the three indictments
brought against Mr.. Green for alleged con-
spiracy and bribery. United States Attor-
ney Baker will soon ask permission of jus
tice Stafford presiding in the Criminal
Court, to enter a noble prosequi In the case.
8 1.-THE government will not try George E.
Green upon the remaining Indictment" MI
Baker says. 1.-THE only Indictment that Is
still outstanding against Green charges
him with bribery. in paying to George w.
Beavers certain sums of money. the same
being 10 per cent Of the government con-
tracts with the International Time Record
ing Company.
I'm the first trial of George d. Green all
the testimony that the government had IN
transactions covering these payments was
offered to the Jury.
Another Trial Inexpedient.
TN view of the fact that the jury acauit-
ted Green upon this evidence, the govern
ment deems 1t not probable that another
fury would convict him upon the same ev-
idence, and that, therefore. 1t would be in
expedient for the government to try him
again.
1.-THE present Indictment on file against
Green will. in the proper time. be disposed
Of by nolle prosequi"
Mr.. Green was twice tried and acquitted
in Criminal Court No first last Febru-
airy, on an indictment charging him with
CONSULTING with George w. Beavers. former
chief Of the division of salaries and allow
ances of the Post Office Department, to de-
fraud the United States in connection with
the purchase of time-recording devices for
use in the department. Beavers pleaded
guilty and is now serving term of two
years in Moundsville penitentiary. Green
was acquitted.
The second indictment against Green.

yers to defraud and with attempting to

here to see if the Supreme Court of the
United States would not take some action
in the matter of suit that she had
against one Of the electric companies in
Denver.
The caller was shown to the Office of
Sanitary Officer Sroufe and she told him
briefly Of her troubles He advised her
to keep away from the court, but his ad-
vice did not have the desired effect She
became angry and left the office, declaring
she would have nothing more to do with
the Washington police department. About
q month later she attended services at a
church in the northwest section of the city,
going the next day to find the pastor of
the church, thinking she might relate her
story Of her trials and tribulations to him

wealth she would not tell, but later the
authorities learned from the charity or
CARNATIONS in Denver that she was always
suspected that she was insane.
Sanitary Officer Sroufe sent the woman to
the Washington Asylum Hospital for OBJ
servation, and after she had been there
some time she was tried and adjudged to
be sane. Her discharge was ordered and
she was given her cash and bonds Where
she went from here the police were not
advised, and they were, therefore, unable
to enlighten her sister last night.

Regarded as Obnoxious.

In connection with the statements made
yesterday concerning the reported resig-
nations of several of the subforemen of
the bindery of the government printing
office rather than carry out the require
ments of the order, which they termed
obnoxious. it was said last night by an
officer of the Bookbinders' Union that Mr.
j. A. B. ESpey, who is in charge OF the
blank division of the bindery, declared
that he would tender his resignation from
the Office rather than carry the order into
effect and send what would practically be
black list of the unfortunate i'll and
aged workers in his division to the
front Office"
Mr.. w. c. Conner. subforeman In charge
of the finishing room, is reported to have
said that he would rather submit to re-
duction to the ranks as 1ourneyman
worker than to carry out the order.
In the cases of Mr.. Thomas B. Penicks.

May Be Charged With Disobedience.
The time limit Of the confidential order
expired at noon yesterday and 1t is said
that reports were received by the public
printer from all except those whose names
are given as objecting. 1t was stated last
night that those who for any reason failed
to make a report will be charged with dis
obedience of orders and that drastic meas
ures will be taken in their cases.
1t was also remarked that the reports
from the typesetting divisions give the
names OF those who are supposed to be
suffering from tuberculosis and other all
ments. some of which are said to be due
to the nature of the employment in q
printing office.
The order has stirred up much appre-
hension among the employees Of the printery
as some Of the workers say 1t Is impossible
to tell who have been classed as tnvalids,

desirable. under the terms Of the secret

 A new wrinkle is being worked in tion of the city, and the persons who are working the game are not all men and boys. Several grocery and meat wagons have been pilfered in Brooklyn lately and the losers have determined to put g stop to the practice and consequently there may be a few arrests before long. Yesterday a young fellow who does a large amount of delivering in this district captured woman red-hand- ed taking a roast of beef out of his wagon. Although he had suspected her of making away with his goods before he did not accuse her, but see ing was believing yesterday. The woman asked for clemency, so the driver let her off, but he vows that if he is minus any more of his goods he will have her arrested. This is only one of the many thefts that have occurred and early in the morning and about dusk seem to be the fayorite hours. This business is contemptible and the persons en- gagged in it should get a good piece of justice.

 There will be more than one plan to look over. In addition to the Library park proposition, a map will be submitted showing direct route from the Union depot to connect with West Main street at Church.
