GUESSWORK OF OFFICIALS
Senator Carter Could Not Obtain De-
sired Information at Post
office DEPARTMENT.

Washington, April 3.-Senator Carter of
Montana. a member of the postal commits
sion appointed to consider the question of
better methods for the postoffice depart
ment. was at the White house today.
Speaking of the features of the work the
senator said that it has been charged
that the money order department loses
81 600 per daV. While the commission had
not found this charge substantiated, the
senator believed that undoubtedly there
was much iaxity in various bureaus of the
postal service that ought to be remedied.
For instance. it is said, the government
loses seven cents on every pound OF sec
ond-class newspapers carried When the
commission called en- the department for
an explanation, the senator said, il found
the officials had no means of giving any
accurate information on it. All was
guesswork, he said. Expert accountants
Will be employed to go over the records
and see if the charges can be substan-
t.ated
There is a proposition for the appoint
ment of a director of posts, who is to hold
his position irrespective of any changes
in the office Of postmaster general, which
the senator admitted had some merit. and
the commission will consider the prOpriety
of recommending the creation of such an
office.

TALKED ABOUT THE TRUSTS
Cabinet Meeting at Which the At
torney General Gave an Out
line of His Plans.

Washington, April S.-An important con-
ference was held at the White House this
afternoon on the subject of trust prosecu-
tons now under way by the department
of justice. Those present included Messrs.
Root, Bonaparte, Garfield and Cortelyou.
The discussion today was a general one
without reference 10 any particular trust
or corporation and no conclusions were
reached. Attorney General Bonaparte, it
is said, is outlining a program for ac-
ton. He submitted his plans to the
president and his cabinet associates with
the view of receiving any suggestions as
to the best methods to pursue when the
administration is ready to resume the
trust prosecutions.

remember having looked into one of
his personal letter books. The only use
they ever were put to was to obtain
the address of some correspondent. He
said about a year before his term eX-
pired he noticed that these private
books were increasing on the shelf very
rapidly, and that too many unimpor-
tant letters were beng copied in these
books.
Mr. Hermann described his daily
duties as commissioner, saying that it
was the busiest bureau in the govern
ment service. During congress he was
constantly visited by senators and rep
resentatives. There are, he said, about
twenty-five attorneys in Washington
who devote their entire practice to land
matters. and these attorneys called on
him frequently. II was brought out
that whenever information was given
to senators, representatives and attor-
neys orally, no record of the same was
kept, whether the information was
given by the commissioner himself or
by the head of any bureau in the Office.
Senator MitcheIl's Visits.
Mr.. Hermann explained the frequen-
cy of the visits of Senator Mitchell by
saying that Oregon seemed to have
more land matters to attend to than

The defense placed in evidence about
100 letters written to Mr.. Hermann's
friends and relatives while he was COM
missioner. Many of these letters were
copied in the books which have been
destroyed. Others were not copied at
all. and all of them were placed in evil

HUNDREDS OF
MEN IN DANGER
Fire in Tunnel Terminal in New
York at an Early Hour Did
Great Damage.
MANY THRILLING RESCUES
FIVE MEN INJURED, TWO sERi-
OUSEY.

New York, April Sire caused by
spark from one of the boiler rooms in
the excavation for the McAdoo tunnel
terminal at Dey, Fulton and Church
streets, early this morning, did dam
age estimated at $50, 900 and a delay of
thirty days in the completion of the
work of the huge terminal buildings
will result. Five men were injured
during the progress of the fire by being
caught in one OF the deep caissons, two
of them so seriously that it was neces-
sary to take them to a hospital Those
severely injured are:
John OHara and Edward Murphy,
tunnel workers.
The fire started on a high wooden
structure between Dey and Fulton
streets, used to support a hosting en-
CINE. By the time the fire department
reached the scene the shower of sparks
and embers from the burning boiler
house had set fire to a dozen other
boiler houses and similar structures in
the excavation. These together with
several big derricks were badly burned
and the temporary wooden flooring
over the surface of Dey street was
ruined.
Heroic Rescue Work.
There were many thrilling rescues
and several instances of personal brav-
cry during the progress of the fire.
Deep down under the ground in the 100
and more caissons which are being
sunk for the foundations of the big
terminal buildings to rest upon, were
between 500 and 500 men at work.
When it was seen that there was dan
ger of the fire spreading to all of the
engine houses south of Dey street,
shutting off the supply Of air pressure
which enabled the men 10 work under
ground, and the withdrawal OF which
would mean serious danger If rot
death to many of them, the danger
signal was given and the buckets low
cred into the tunnel to bring the work
eTs to the surface. Around some of the
derricks used to lower and hoist the
buckets the flames ragged fierCely, and
in two instances the men in charge of
the donkey hosting engines lost their
nerve and deserted their posts, leaving
them ten feet beneath the surface of
the ground to their fate. The deserted
hoists were successfully manned by
volunteers, however, and the men
stuck to their posts with the flames
roaring around them until the last one
of the tunnel workers was brought to
safety!

BOYCOTT At KANSAS CITY
Livestock Commission Men After the
Cooperative Company and
Their Patrons,

Kansas City. April 3.-The live stock
commission men who are members of the
live stock exchange at the stock yards
have declared a war on the Cooperative
Live Stock Commission company. and in
dependent concern, and a boycott on all
packers who purchase cattle, sheep or
hogs from the Cooperative company The
commission men who are members of the
exchange refused to sell cattle to Swift
& Co. today because SWift's buyers have
been purchasing cattle from the Coop
erative company, and refused to sell hogs
to Armour q Co. because Armour's buyer
purchased hogs from the Cooperative
company.
The commission men say the reason
for boycotting the company is that the
independent company sells cattle below
price quotations and sends out circulars
to shippers charging the commission men
and stock exchange with dealing unfair
~ with shippers. The Cooperative com
pany's representatives say that the or
ganization of the Independent company
was brought about by the action of the
commission in advancing charges for sales
of live stock.
