Washington May 28.-Postmaster
General Hitchcock reached today from
Cuba, where he has been for the bene-
fit of his health and one of the first
matters brought to his attention was

tant Postmaster General Stewart to

ton. In case Mr.. Stewart is sent, he

Locomotive Firemen to designate
some one to confer with him upon the
question of the movement of the mails
as the Georgia Railroad company is
looked to for the performance of serv-
ice. Officials We're greatly pleased to

PREACHERS DO NOT WANT
"CHARiTY" AFTER THEY ARE
UNABLE TO WORK.

Denver, May 2S.-Presbyteran min
lsters do not want charity. They made
this clear in the general assembly to-
day when, by an almost unanimous
vote, the commissioners defeated q
resolution prepared by DR.. j. Gray
Bolten Of Philadelphia, providing for
a graded pension scheme for disabled
or superannuated minister's
The trouble over the pensioning of
ministers has Been one of long stand =
ing, having started in friction between
the board of ministerial relief and the
board for ministerial Sustenation.
Both have similar objects and DR. Bbl-
tens resolution carried With it a mo-
tlon to refer the whole matter of
joint action of these boards to spe-
cial committee.
In his address on the subject DR..
Bolten made frequent use of the words
charity and Humiliation" and to
these terms the commissioners as a
whole took liberal exception. He was
of the opinion that ministers do not
want charity after they had become
unable to work and that they should
be given pensions Otter 20 years serv-
ice He believed this would remove
the taint Of charity" from the sup
port thus received.
10 this proposition DR.. Howard Ag-
new Johnston Of Colorado Springs
took exception, with the support of a
large majority of the commissioners.

.E[0QUENCE FLOWS
AT CALHOUN
TRIAL
DETECTIVE HELMS TELLS OF
ATTEMPT TO PREVENT HIS
GIVING TESTIMONY.

San Francisco, May 2S-A torrent
of legal eloquence was turned loose
in the trial of Patrick Calhoun today
when John Helms, once a detective in
the employ of the United Railroads
and at the same time in the pay of
the prosecution, was asked to relate
the details of an alleged attempt to
prevent his appearance as a witness
against the president Of thee orpora
ton. During a period Of two hours,
the court room echoed with the spi-
tied arguments of prosecution and de-
fense.
Helms who was under examination
by Assistant District Attorney Francis
j. Heney. had told of visits made to
his ranch in Trinity county by two
men who are alleged to have been en-
missaries of the defense, and Mr..
Hene attempted to show that Helms,
with the authorization of the district
attorney of this county, had invited
the offer of bride for the purpose of
entrapping anyone making such an at
tempt.
Alexander King, Stanley Moore and
John j. Barrett, attorneys for the de-
Tense, interposed many objections to
the testimony of Helms, who said he
had come to San Francisco in the early
part OF last month in obedience to Il
subpoena in a criminal proceeding and
returned to his home after a STAY of
four days.
Mr.. Heney's questions showed, ac-
cording to Helms testimony, that the
witness had conferred with District
Attorney w. H. Langdon and w. ].
Burns. special agent for the office.
Earlier in the day, Alonzo J. Munroe,
an attorney of Eureka, had testified
that he sent Winfield S. Lamb, a
rancher to Helms residence to carry
out instructions transmitted to Mum
roe by w H. Metso nan attorney
who has represented officials of the
United Railroads in recent proceedings
connected with the Calhoun case.
