BREED A REPORTER
CHARGE AGAINST ATTORNEY FOR
 THE PACKERS,
President Roosevelt Gives Out Corre- spondence Showing Effort of Beef Trust Lawyer to Poison
 PubIic'a Mind.

Washington. Jan. 26.-By authority of President Roosevelt, correspondence was made public at the White House this evening relating to methods al- legged to have been employed by attor- neys for the beef packers who are un- der indictment at Chicago to influence public opinion in behalf of the pack CTS.
 I The documents consist of commu- nication" made to Attorney General Moody, by United States District At torney Morrison, of Chicago setting out certain alleged facts regarding the payment of sum of money to a Chi cago newspaper reporter by one of tne attorney for the beef packers; a letter from the attorney general to the Pres ident, transmitting MT. Morrisons re- port expressing the opinion that no way existed under the law by which the alleged offense could be punished; and a letter from the President to the at- torney general directing the publication of the correspondence in order that the public might be informed of one siLua- ton at least which the government has to meet In prosecuting the case against the packers.
 The correspondence in full follows, with the exception of certain exhibits in District Attorney Morrisons report, which were not furnished:
 Office of the Attorney General.
 Washington, Jan. 25. To the President: s I forward the report of Mir Morrison, the United States attorney at Chicago, showing that one of the counsel for the defendants in the indictment against the beef packers has given sum of money to reported of The Chicago Inter-Ocean' engaged in reporting the proceedings in that case and unsuc- cessfully attempted to give sum of money to another reporter of the city press of Chicago who declined to re- ceive it.
 Tn view of the fact that the articles of the reporter of Tho Inter Ocean have been misleading, containing many of the false statements of fact and have been circulated widely throughout the country, I deem 1t proper to bring the subject to your attention Under the statute which rigidly restricts the pow CT of the federal courts to punish for contempt of court there seems to be no remedy. I am advised by the dis trict attorney that proceedings for dis barment of the offending attorney would not be likely to prevail in the federal courts.

Sir--In view Of the fact that there seems to be no opportunity for action before the courts against the counsel of the beef packers who. 1t appears from District Attofney Morrison's state nient. has been guilty of bribing re- porter--the reporter having disseminat- ed false and misleading statements as to the case against the beef trust. it seems to be that the only course left is to publish Mr. Morrison's letter and the other documents in the case. This l directed to be done. Extraor- dinary efforts have been made in this case as in one or two similar cases, to poisonsthe public mind by the dissemin-. ation of false and misleading state ments, and it is right that tho public should know why and how their ctrcu- lation Is secured.

ASHES AND ClSDERs As PAVEMENT.

The present sloppy weather and
condition Of our streets gave birth
to an idea in the Uranium OF the
Editor. which directs TO an easy
way of partly doing away with
the muddy condition Of our streets
and enhance traffic for future
times. Everyone must have motto
ed the difficulty in trying to walk
across the streets on foot or drive
over them; how horses and wheels
sing deep into the soft substance
when riding over. That such is
the case must be aqmitted.
How are we 10 remedy this
without going mto expense
Should some one propose the pa
vemens of streets with gravel or
something else, Immediately the
question would arise. how much
would this cost: and. even IL this
should be accepted, most all
would calculate on their fingers
what the taxes would be.
Considering that bv having the
streets the town would be cast in
~ quite a debt. and therefore this
idea he abandoned. an attempt.
nevertheless. should he made to
better the street. choosing another
way: namely. dumping all the as
hes and cinders on the street.
II is not hrvond anyones imagi
nation To figure out how much
coal, both hard and soft. is con-
sumcd yearly in the town. leaving
fully three fourths in ashes and
cindcrs. The usual wav as prac-
tiscd here and everywhere. the as
hes is dumped in the back yard,
where it not only is an ohstruc-
ton, buf d'sgraces the appearance
OF the yard.
Why then should not ashes and
cinders be used a. p vement foi
our streets? OF course, the dcsir

ed result VIZ u d not arrive imme

amount could not be gathered in
a day or two. but should this be
daily rractised. we dare say. tina,
in a course OF two years Main
street on rainy days would presen,
a more de ightful aspect, il no,
costing the town a penny. Every
merchant or owner on Main
street, instead of dumping his ash
c. in back OF the building on a
vie. could just as we'll throw it on
the streets in front OF his store
and in a short time It would be
noticed that there is a decrease in
mud.
We limit this ex" cution to Main
street only, as grading of side
streets in this manner would re-
quire large number of years.
For example, the local flour
mill consumes an enormous
amount of coal every day.
II all the cinders and ashes that
remain should be hauled and scat
tered along Main street, it would
not take one year of time and one
block. at least, would DC paved
with this'waste. Adding to thi:
that what would be had from OF
hers Main street would be fairl,
well paved in short time.
The town board should take
this matter up, and grant ever,
one a permission to dump all thu
ashes on the street. and also en-
. courage this practise.
