Fisk Can Hold $4,000
Job, Say Senators
Perkins and Flint Think Charges
Are Safe i'm the Hands of
Hitchcock

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Senators
Perkins and Flint are now satisfied that
Postmaster Fisk will hold his job. They
Indicated today their belief that the
charges against Fisk would not be
pressed, and if pressed would soon be
disposed of by the postofice depart
ment. which fa7ors Fisk Meanwhile
Fisk is in Office and drawing his salary,
which is an important advantage. The
senators, when asked if there was an
understanding that Fisk was not to be
confirmed while under fire. replied that
they were not in hurry to confirm
Fisk SO long as he was in Office and
drawing his pay.
The report is current that the presi-
dent attached memorandum to his
nomination Of Fisk suggesting to the
senate that it postpone confirmation un-
til the charges had been investigated
The truth of the report could not be
confirmed today, but the senators prac-
tically admitted that there was such an
understanding. They would not say
how the Understanding was arrived at
At the postoffice department today it
was stated that Fisk had been called
upon to answer the allegations printed
in The Call January 10. the substance of
which had been called to the presi-
dents attention by Representative
Kahn and Hayes. This action was
taken by direction of the president
The allegations are also to be investi-
gated by postoffice officials. probably
headed by Inspector johnson of San
Francisco.
The department officials today scoffed
at the charges, saying some of them
were absurd and others directed not at
Fisk, but his subordinates. They ex-
pressed the belief that Fisk's answer
and the report of inspectors would
sweep the decks clean and lead to the
prompt confirmation OF Fisk by the
senate.
Kahn and Hayes attribute the noni-
nation of Fisk to the influence of SEN
ator Flint and First Assistant Post
master General Hitchcock. They do not
think the president really wanted to
appoint Fisk His resentment against
Senator Perkins is very strong. accord
ing to all reports. and he would not
have appointed Fisk except for F'lint's
strong appeals. The San Francisco con-
gressmen are taking no further steps
in the matter pending the outcome Of

The state railroad commission has

ward manifestations of an aggressive
activity disturbing to those who havs

the changing administrations. Colonel

as the disturbing element and his ap-
parent determination to enforce ths
laws is calculated to inspire regret in
the breasts of those who broughs
about his appointment. Loveland
took the initiative in asking for an
opinion from the attorney general ss
to the proper method of procedure
in cases where rebating has been ex-
posed. Even this has carried the COM
mission into new fields and dire predic-
tions have been made as the result OF
his action.

MAYOR MAHooL, of Baltimore city, has
placed himself on record as favoring high
License. Speaking of this matter few days
ago be said: much of the opposition to the
liquor traffic is caused by the fact that saloons
are allowed to be put in places where they are
not wanted, and often many more are opened
than there is necessity for. This createsa con-
dition bad for all concerned. 1t could be
remedied by the Liquor License Board. am
fully committed to the High License bill now
before the Legislature. In upholding high
license am not receding from my stand taken
last fall, when / said l was in favor of local
option. The High License bill is being strong
ly backed and if passed will greatly relieve the
conditions here. Local option is principle
of Democracy and have always believed that
the people should rule themselves-choose
whether they wanted liquor sold in their
vicinity"

In THE Supreme Court of New York on Tues
day Justice Guy set aside the verdict of jury
deciding on their verdict by the flip of a coin.
The case was suit brought against the New
York City Railway Company for damages in
causing the death of child. Thejury brought
in a verdict in favor of the company. The
evidence in the case seemed to Justice Guy to
be so much apart from the verdict that be
asked the foreman of thejury how such YER
dict had been arrived at. The foreman said
that they had agreed on their finding by the
toss of coin. The justice then said to the
jurors that they had violated their oath and
committed contempt of court imposed the fine
and ordered their names stricken from the
jury list.

POLICE JUDGE JAMES AUSTIN. JR, of Toledo
Ohio, known as the golden rule Judge" has
experienced the unique distinction of serving
a selfimposed sentence of four hours in the
Workhouse to satisfy his curiosity as to the
feelings of those whom he had for years in the
course of duty been sending to that institution.
A complaint was made charging the judge,
several court attaches and two reporters with
disturbances" All pleaded guilty and were
sentenced to four hours in the Workhouse.
They were measured, booked, clothed, fed,
celled and worked, the same as other prisoners,
their labor being that of cutting ice. The
Judge expressed himself as glad of the expert
ence, though his back ached and he was chilled
to the bone.

committed in St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church
in Denver, Col, on Sunday morning last when
an Italian named Guarnscto, an avowed an

Kneeing at the altar rail, between two women,
the assassin pressed the muzzle of revolver

from him the consecratied wafer, and shot him
through the heart. This cold blooded murder
