THIS JUDGE SENSIBLE.
Does Away With Foolish Argument
In Hams Murder Trial.

Flushing, L. 1.-Two unlocked for
situations which confront counsel for
Thornton Jenkins Hams at the end of
the first week of the trial of the al
legged conspirator in the murder of
William E. Annis by Captain Peter c..
Hams, Jr., may result in complete
reversal of the plans for the defense.
In the first place Justice E. C. Crane,
who has been responsible for many
unique methods for the expedition of
the trial, has said with inality that
there is to be no airing of the unwrit-
ten law nor featuring of "dementia
Americanus in this trial.
Secondly, in Diminishing the jurors
until Monday morning he declared his
belief in permitting the 10 men who
hold the life of the prisoner in their
hands to go about their business unre-
stricted by the surveillance of dep
uty or court officer. AS a result of this
there has not been the slightest sug-
gestion that this jury has been or will
be approached.

ROOSEVELT CONSIDERING A
REVISING OF SYSTEM.
Put All Detective Bureaus Of the Gov
eminent Under One Management and
Place In Hands of Department of JUS
tice-Congressmen Have Been Op-
posed to Such a Change In the Past.

The president has under considera-
ton plan to consolidate all the de-
tective bureaus of the government un-
der one management and place it in
the hands of the department of JUS
tee
This action, if taken, will be the d.
rect result of agitation over the Sc
cret service and will, he believes, save
the treasury great many thousands
of dollars annually. Just how and
when he will make this recommenda-
tion to congress has not been decided,
but the president may incorporate it in
special message or transmit it in
the reply he is preparing for congress
on the subject.
The name of the new bureau will be
the department of criminal investiga-
ton and it will include those Offices
and divisions now variously known as
the secret service, custom inspection
service, internal revenue special agents,
pension examiners and land Office
agents.
The suggestion has been made from
time to time to members of congress
Chief Willde of the secret service as
long as 1899 having presented the mat
ter TO the committee on appropriations
of the house.
Simplicity and Economy.
FIf the president succeeds in per.
suading congress to make the change
he will have accomplished a great deal
in the interest of simplicity and econ
omy, said a treasury official today.
As things are now the men in the
various detective bureaus employed
by Uncle Sam fairly fall over each
other at times. Take the city of New
Orleans as an example. i have seer
the time, not long ago, when men were
employed by the cgssms, secret ser
vice, internal revenue, postoffice in
sp6ctors and pension offices all work
ing there upon cases at the same time
They we're there for weeks and if there
had been one bureau looking after the
investigation work five men might have
done the work that it required more
than a dozen TO accomplish"
Political influence, it is said, has op
Grated largely against the adoption Of
the centralized scheme in the past. Thu
postmaster general has always beer
reluctant TO part with his force Of in
spoctors and the internal revenue com
mission has chung to its special agent
with the utmost tenaeity because the.
represented a potent political power il
many scattered districts Throughout
who country.

TELEGRAPH OPERATORS ON
N. P. UNDER SUSPICION.
One Arrest Made-Paid Dispatches
Sent and Fee Pocketed by the EN-
ploye-Record Is Destroyed Capture
at Ritzville, Followed by a Con-
fession, Gives the Clue.

A systematic investigation by the
Western Union Telegraph company
carried on during the last six months
mas disclosed an organized system of
theft among railroad operators on the
Pacific coast by reason of which the
telegraph company has been robbed of
an amount estimated at several hun
dred thousand dollars, according to a
statement made by an official of the
company, who has had charge of the
investigation. He said:
Compliant made in several instances
that messages fled at certain stations
had not been sent or delivered, and the
falling off of receipts at other places
on railroad lines, caused the Western
Union officials to institute a thorough
investigation. A secret service was or
gained and it was discovered that in
some instances 60 per cent of the money
received for messages filed at railroad
offices never reached the telegraph com
pany. The kilograms, with but few
exceptions, were properly transmitted
and delivered, but all records of the
dispatches so far as reports and book
keeping pertained, had been de-
stroyed.' -
Following the discovery and proof of
the thefts warrants were obtained for
the arrest of several operators in the
state of Washington, and it is alleged
by officials Of the company that at least
ono of tho orrau+a1 man hoe oo,fo.co5
The arrested men will be brought to
trial shortly after the first of the year
According to the information gath.
cred by the telegraph company syste
matte collision in the robbery existed
among certain railroad operators. Ii
some Offices the thefts are said to have
aggregated several hundred dollars {
month and officers of the company be
lieye that during the last year the to
tai of the sums stolen will exceed
100000
Only operators are alleged to be in
volved in the robbery. Under the sys
tenn adopted by the Western UnioI
Telegraph company, il would be almos
impossible for its operators in othe
than railroad Offices to embezzle money
paid for transmission Of messages.
Get Confession at Ritzville.

graph company, stated that the allegee
