Motion to Re-cOmmit His NomfRatxoR
to Committee.
Washington, April 3O.-The nornfSaA-
tion Of Benjamin B. Barnes, assistant
secretary to President Roosevelt, TO be
postmaster Of Washington was before
the senate in executive session for near
ly two hours to-day. Most Of the dis
cussicn arose over motion by Senator
Culberson to recommit the nomination
to the committee on postoffices and
postroads. The senate adjourned with
out taking action.
Senator Culberson stated that general
protests had been fled by citizens
against the confirmation, and that the
postofflce committee had failed to give
to the protests the consideration of an
investigation. The charges relate TO
the action of Mr. Barnes In having
Mrs. Minor Morris elected from she
White House, and to the fact that
Washingtonians believe the Office
should be given to citizen. Senator
Tillman related his efforts to have the
postotfice committee enter upon a eor-
NAL investigation. The discussion WILL
be resumed at the next executive xes-
| sion.

Charles H. Coles conviction followed
series of financial disturbances in
Boston during the latter part of De-
cember, 1899. The business situation
was seriously unsettled by the failure.
on December 10, of the John P. Squire
& Co. (corporation), pork nacksrs, for
SO, 900 and the closing of the Broad
way National bank the following morn
ing. The Squire corporation had a
large amount of paper in the Globe Ma
tional bank, and when reports that the
latter institution was unsound became
current, heavy Withdrawals were made
by the depositors. The Globe bank
failed on December q.
Cole, whose health became impaired,
had gone to Los Angeles, Cal. after re-
signing his position as president of the
bank in the fall Of 1899. He was arrest
ed in California just after the failure
and brought to Boston. The warrant
charged him with misappropriating
100000. On April IA he pleaded guilty
to three of the counts of an indictment
and was sentenced to serve eight years
in the Jail at Greenfield. When a petit
ton was presented to President Roose-
velt several months ago for pardon he
declined to grant 1t.
Cole lost his own fortune in the dis
mining shares and in his efforts to re-
store money to the bank and save it
from ruin.
