Government Clerks Were Well Scared

who has made a thorough examina-
ton of the antique accounting system
and of general business methods.
Mr.. Young put eight men to work
and the treasury department placed
alongside Of every one Of them a
check of its own, selected especially
because of his known efficiency and
enterprise. As a result the depart
ment now has in hand a staff of
trained Investigators of it's own edu-
Gated by the hired experts, whose re-
ports to the secretary and his assist
ants have proved exceedingly valu-
able.
The treasury department hesitates
to make sweeping changes in per-
sonnet until congress shall have
passed some kind of civil service re-
tirement act. Just before congress
adjourned it had been planned to put
through a limited retirement bill
which .-ould have enabled the depart
ment to retire several hundred aged
clerks at practically a thousand dol
lars year, but never reached pub
licity, much less congress. The gov
eminent, however, recognizes more
and more the need of a retirement
law and the president and his cabinet
are confident they could save money
enough from the operation of one to
pay the whole cost.

Ask Honest Postal Law Enforcement

post Office inspectors who wanted to
make record and devoted much time
to working up cases. There are also
many people who, for revenge, or
other cause, seek out post office in
spectors and try to secure fraud or
ders against persons they dislike or
whose business rivalry they fear.
If fraud orders could be reviewed
in the courts it would not matter SO
much whether legitimate concerns
were attacked by over-zealous men
who are told "get the crooks" and
went out to make records But there
are many little frauds who advertise
business and have little room with
deal table and one chair; reap a
small harvest and make a quick get
away, who should be pursued by the
men who are trying to prevent the
use of mails for fraudulent purposes.
There is cutie field to cover by
those who are in earnest and do not
feel that in order to make name and
reputation they must pull down big
concerns or get "big game"
There has been an intimation that
the post office department wants the
inspectors to make such of their
ground in making cases have evidence
upon which they can go into court. 1t
has taken quite a long campaign to
secure that much of concession, but
it is believed that there will not be
such scandals in the future as in the
past over the destruction of legitimate
business concerns by the free use of
fraud orders.

A ENCOURAGEMENT is made at the
"A post Office department that under
instructions from Postmaster General
Hitchcock the inspectors must get
the crooks" Whereupon every sleuth
has put his nose to the ground and
sought an opening to land those who
are trying to "get something for
nothing" from the people. But it is
also said that they are going after
every individual or concern whose
business smacks of fraud regardless
of it's size or the influence which may
be behind it,
Several days ago there came out of
the same department story to the
effect that the inspectors were in
formed that they were not to "go it
blind" and simply make cases, but
that he would have to be able to
produce the goods" so as to have
reasonable grounds for convictions in
court.
No honest man wants to prevent the
prosecution of frauds and crooks. On
the contrary, there is a strong desire
that all such persons should be ap-
pretended and punished, but there
have been examples of great injustice
and wrong on the part Of too eager

" ASHINGTON.-Dr. William X.
w Rucker of the public health and
marine hospital service, recently left
Ellis island for Boston to confer with
Commissioner of immigration George
Il. Billings, the port medical staff and
officials of the state board of health
regarding the new and comprehensive
plan for guarding the United States
against possible danger from cholera
suspects coming from Russia and
Italy. This plan contemplates sur

YOUNG CORBETT is WHIPPED
Willie Beecher Stops Former Cham
pion in Fourth Round of One-Sided
Match at New York.

Willie Beecher, a young fighter
with sledge-hammer blow in either
of his fists, whipped a little fat man
called Young Corbett, once the cham
pion lightweight Of the world, at che
Longacre Athletic association in New
York the other night. The bout was
mercifully stopped by Mike Newman,
the third man in the ring, in the mid
die of the fourth round, after Corbett
had been twice knocked down.
Newman, fearful of a coroner's in
quest, acted as a shield while Corbett,
in a befuddled condition, was Keeling
around the ring blindly seeking his
opponent, and Beecher was ramming a
series of upper cuts and hooks to
the face, seeking for one that would
yield the knockout While the fighters
were in this plight Newman pushed
Beecher to his corner and helped Cor
hett to his chair.

HOW JOHN Killing GOT START
Catcher Of Chicago Cubs Says Il Was

How did l get my start? Well, II
the young fellows who want to be-
come professional players have as
much trouble getting started as I did
the crop will be short. l think 1t was
partly my own fault and partly bad
luck that I had SO much trouble, and
the greater part of my fault was that
l neither knew my position nor knew
the game well enough. Perhaps l had
been spoiled by too much success as a
semi-profesional player before 1 tried
to get into professional baseball. Also
had learned wrong in many things
and wanted to play my way instead
of playing the way the managers and
the experienced players did. 1t took
me long time to discover that per-
haps they knew more about it in the
organized leagues than we did in the
amateur ranks.
l don't remember the time I did not
play ball. 1 began about the time I
started to school. l discovered when
| went to work that baseball helped
me lot. l got job, and was ad.
vanced faster and given better
chances than the fellows who did not
play, so l realized baseball was valu-

sFHE hobble skirt, or what looked
/ like a hobble skirt. the other day
snvaded the precincts OF the United
States Supreme court, where flowing
robes are worn by the justices and
where the lawyers who appear to ar
cue cases generally wear the somber
black of the bar.
or course, hobble skirt wearers
have hobbled behind the railing where
the public is admitted, because among
the visitors to the courtroom are
women dressed T. the latest styles.
But not until the day mentioned
woman barrlster, entitled to practise
before the highest court In the land,
appeared in a dress which suggested
the latest fad.
There is no rule of the court, nor
has there been since Belva Lock-
wood opened the way for the admis-
sion of women to the bar in 1879,
which says that skirts shall not be
hobbled.
