ExuIapation of the Scandals.

Ottawa. May 2S.-Some six years ago the Minister of the Interior made a con tract with the North Atlantic Trading Company to carry on an immigration propaganda on the continent Of Europe.
 The booking agents and others who entered into this contract did so with the understanding that their names were not to be made known because of these countries being opposed to emil grafton therefore a dummy" company was organized. The opposition in Par liament have demanded the names and so far the Government has not com piled.
 w. T. R. Preston, Canada's Immi- grafton Commissioner. was brought here and examined before a parlia- mentary committee. His evidence was to the eeffct that the contract and im- migration work was satisfactory but there was a disagreement among the officials of the High Commissioners of- flee and Preston's office and certain all legged stolen letters written by Preston and said to be in the hands of parties connected with the High Commissioners office have figured in the inquiry.

 JUDGE (. W. BUCKLEY Son of United States Court Clerk and B Years Old. RennbIican Politicians Declare That seiection Means That "Liiy whites. are to Have More In- fIuence at Washington
 Than Heretofore.

If the United States Senate confirms his appointment. which is likely. Jos eph Phillips Dimmick will be postmas- ter of Montgomery for the next four years to succeed Judge c. W. Buck ley, whose term of office expired May 1Q
 MT Dimmick, who is a son of Capt. J. W. Dimmick, clerk of the United States court in Montgomery, was ap- pointed yesterday morning by Presi- dent Roosevelt and his name was sent forthwith to the Senate for eonfirma- tion. It is not believed there will be any opposition to the confirmation of Mr. Dimmiek. The several men who hoped to be postmaster in Montgomery quit tho race when they heard of the announcement that the .P1sident had made a selection.
 The first news of the appointment of Mir. Dimmick came to Montgomery in Il telegram from Congressman A. A. Wiley to the incoming Postmaster ad- vising him of his success. Later in the day Capt. Charles T. Pollard, Democrat, who had been an applicant for the office received a telegram from
 
 Mir. Dimmick had been appointed.
 Came As Surprise.
 The appointment of Mir. Dimmick : came as great surprise to most peo- pie, even those best posted on the race for the postmastership. 1t was known. among a few friends of MT. Dimmick. that he was an applicant for the posi- tion under certain conditions and a few persons knew that he stopped in Washington for a day or two about two weeks ago while on a trip to New York. Even those best posted. now ever, did not give much thought to the rumor concerning his candidacy.
 Mfr. Dimmick himself ascribes his success to the fact that he Is g grad uate of Harvard University. The fact that I am a Harvard man and that am a Republican did not injure my standing with President Roosevelt or with other very influential officials at Washington" said MT. Dimmick to a reporter for The Advertiser.
 AS is well known, President Roose- welt is an enthusiastic alumnus of Har- ward. So Is MT. Dimmick. On the visit of the President to Montgomery last autumn there was no more jubiIant Harvard man in the gaily decorated of Montgomery through the streets than the young postlnaster-to-be.
 It Is currently gossiped that when Postmaster Buckley found that he would not be reappointed he and his friends joined in recommending MT Dimmick and this influence no doubt greatly strengthened the chances of the young man. Judge Buckley was sup ported by the Grand Army of the Re- public, taptain Dimmick, father of the appoiIo ;. was a Union soldier and is himself 4n ardent member of the G. A. R..

their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it grew. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, infiamed, and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itch ing. When think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard down stairs. The suf- fering of my son made me full of misery. l had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could I sleep.
 One doctor told me that my sons eczema was incurable and gave it up for a bad job. One evening saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it trial.

Man Charged With Theft Impersonates
 Student.
 William J. Creedon, who was brought to this city from Springfield Monday night and was held on a charge of theft of $35O from Finlander on whom he had worked the lemon squeeze, escaped from headquarters yesterday morning by impersonating a student. The stu dent. E. B. Reynolds, was in for drunk enness and was to be released about 5 o'clock. When the time came he was called. Instead of answering Creedon responded to the name, obtained a pipe and knife belonging to the student, and an old pocketbook with some cards in it, and left. Later it was found that Reynolds was still inside. Then word was sent out for the recapture of Cree don, but he had not been caught last evening.
 Reynolds and Creedon looked very much alike and had the same descrip- tions. Creedon took advantage of fa- vorable opening and escaped.
