From The World of Friday.

From The World Of Friday.
A report was current IN the street
this afternoon that Lester Tut, the
colored fellow who has been figuring
in the ~bootlegging cases in this city
ror some time past, had been arrested
by a special officer who had come
here from the United States Revenue
Department.
This report probably grew out OF
the fact that a man had been here
for the past few days Investigating the
charges that were recently made pub
lie against Deputy Marshal Brown
and United States Commissioner
Lemen.
A representative of The Evening
World made inquiry but was unable
TO verify positively the rumor, but 1t
was learned that if Tut had not yet
been arrested he would likely be be-
fore long as he had been located.
The Department of Justice sent a
mar here several days & to look up
the charges made against the Deputy
Marshal and the United States Com
f1rissioner. 1t is understood that the
dispositions of several people, who
have knowledge of certain proceed
ings of these officials have been taken.
and that they will be placed before
the department.
What charges are contained in these
dispositions 1t was not learned. Those
who were in a position to know the
facts refused to make any statement
whatever. 1t IS understood from others
{ that the charges which were made
through an open letter published in
The Evening World some time since,
over the signature Of j. X. Clifford,
are the ones that are being taken up
b the official from the department.
W.T. is understood that a careful in
v~sestigation of facts is being made and
5 is likely that if they prove to be
eeslrrect the department will act on
srsem.
DEPUTY Brown left here yesterday

are of a general nature and If the OF

Bonding Company Serves Notice
on Individual Bondsmen
Latter Take Up Matter and Decide to
Notify County Court and Sheriff of
Action---Great Surprise to
All Concerned
From The World Of Friday:

From The World OF Friday:
The strained condition of the finan.
cial condition of the County Cour;
was added to today by the report that
the bonding company, which had in.
Identified the bondsmen for the sher.
in, served notice on these bondsmen
that at the end of thirty days they
would no longer be responsible and
would withdraw their bond at that
time.
This report has been verified, and
while The Evening World has no de-
sire to embarrass the sheriff or any
one concerned it feels that it is due
the people that they should know the
fact. This paper gave to the public
the true state of affairs as they are,
concerning the court, and the fact
that the bonding company had refused
TO further indemnify the bondsmen.
would have become public property in
a day or two, and there is no reason
why it should not be made known at
this time.
The bondsmen, it is learned on good
authority held a meeting this after
noon and unanimously decided to noti-
fly Sheriff Kettering, and the County
Court, that at the expiration of
thirty days. they would cease to act
as his bondsmen.
This phase of the situation has not
only embarrassed the sheriff, but has
placed the bondsmen In a position
where they are at a loss to know
Just how to act.
Sheriff Kettering was seen by a rep
resentative of this paper this after
noon, and was told of the action of
the bonding company. He told the
representative that he had no knowl-
edge of such action and had not re-
ceived any notice of their action.
Further than that the Sheriff had
nothing to say.
1t is to be expected that in due time
these notices will be served on both
the sheriff and the County Court.
Action in the matter will then be up
to the court. Those who were inter
viewed on the matter were not will
ing to be quoted, but one gentleman,
who is acquainted with the facts was
of the opinion that the cour would
not be inclined to release the bonds
men. This position will present an
other difficulty to the bondsmen
which they will have to surmount.
1t is to be regretted that the bond
ing company felt required to demand
it's release. 1t was understood that
the Expert accountant who vent over
the books of the sheriff, was satisfied
with the accounts and was reported
to have given that official a clean Dill.
The action of the bonding company
under these circumstances is hard to
understand and created no little sur
prise and CONSERVATION, when the IN
dividuals who are bondsmen, each re-
ceiyed notice of its action.
There are many who are or the
opinion that matters will so adjust
themselves that the sheriff VIII sur
fer no serious consequences. A great
deal OF sympathy is expressed for
| Sheriff Kettering. and men from both
political parties are expressing the
hope that he will be able to pass
through the crisis without embarrass
ment.

From The World OF Saturday:

When the department officials nm
ished with Lester Tut yesterday even
ing. ii is said, they had the full story
of all his dealings in the ~bootleggins
cases. Tut was not placed under ar
rest. but went with the official and
was willing to give up anything that
me had knowledge of concerning the
<doings of the Deputy Marshal in the
eoetty whiskey cases.
Chief Examiner Masterman, who
had been here for several days, sent
IRON the Department OF Justice, to
hook into the charges OF the treatment
OF ]. r. Clifford and his client, when
anev came before United States Com
missioner Lemen some time ago and
Clifford was put in the lookup on the
oqtier of the commissioner. It is un'
derxtood that there were otheI
charges that the examiner took pains
TO look into carefully.
From all current reports it seems
that Marshal Brown had been IN the
s1abit of getting evidence against some
innocent negro for selling liquor. The
law only requires the evidence OF two
witnesses to make the prisoner prob
ably guilty and hold him for court
Some of these questionable cases came
before United States Commissioner
Thomas, and he refused TO hold then
declaring that the evidence was no

EFFORT TO REMEDY
NATIONAL DISGRACE
War Veterans Want the Wreck OF

PETITION CONGRESS- TO ACT

II viii Be Asked to Order the HUH

the Dead Brought Back For 5urisI
Congress Criticised For Not Having
Raised Hulk Years Ago, and Giver
Sailors a Proper Burial.
New York, Feb. 21.-Midway In its
course, the Maine memorial service OF
the United Spanish War Veterans
held in Carnegie Hall, turned into a
demonstration to influence Congress
to raise the battleship Maine. By a
rising vote an audience which filled
the hall adopted a resolution condemn
ing the spectacle of the rusted hulk
of the ship and the rotting bones OF
its victims, abandoned without sepu-
chre in alien waters" aud urging that
Congress enact legislation for the i'm.
mediate removal of the wreck to our
remains of the unclaimed victims for
interment in the National cemetery at
Arlington"
A copy of the resolution will be
sent to the President and Vice Pres
ident, the Secretary of the Navy and
the members of the Senate and House
of Representatives.
Representative Suzer, of New York,
who has been trying to get a bill to
raise the Maine through the House for
several years was the chief speaker at
the meeting.
Our dereliction in the matter" he
said, SIS little less than a national dis
grace. 1t is becoming a big black blot
on our boosted patriotism. have
been often asked why Congress re-
fuses to pass this bill. ! can only say
that I do not know. ] have been
given an adequate reason for the de-
lay. Perhaps some people think she
was blown up from the inside and by
raising the wreck, if this should prove
to be the case, va would stultify our
selves. But that argument is too pre-
p~osterous for consideration. The board
OF inquiry that made the investigation
at the time, certified that the Maine
was blown up by an external explo-
sion. But in any event patriotic Amer
lea is not afraid of the truth"
Among the other speakers were JOS
eph II. Choate, Rear Admiral Sigsbee,
former captain of the Maine, and his
chaplain at the time of the disaster,
Father John P. Chadwick.
