THOMAS FACES INVESTIGATOR
Accused Postmaster Becomes Witness
in Civil Service Probe.
wOODARD IS CALLED AGAIN
Assistant TO Man Under Fire Takes
stand for second Time-DurHtiOn
of Inquiry Yet Remains
Indefinite.

Postmaster Thomas went before Secre-
tary Moss and Inspector Findland yes
terday afternoon to answer interrogations
as to his political conduct previous to the
last election. He underwent a fire of
questions for more than an hour and
came out apparently as cheerful as he
went in. Like all others who have gone
before the inquisItors he does not have
anything to say.
The inquisitors put in a strenuous day
endeavoring to close up their work with
the end of the week. Assistant Postmas-
ter James l. woodard was recalled, as
was also Dan Ti1otson, but neither would
have anything to say as TO the questions
that were put to them.
The Thomas inquiry has led the investi
gators into so many different channels
marking the maneuvers OF the postmaster
previous to the last election that they are
unable to state at this time when they will
conclude the taking OF testimony. How
ever, It appears that the investigation will
end soon.
There is element Of uncertainty as
to when we will finish" says Secretary c.
w. Moss, representing the civil service
commission, in answer to a question as to
when the task of taking testimony would
NC SOhSiuNSu IN TAKING up one Phase OF
the controversy other ramifications are un-
covered. and in following up these we have
been kept very busy. ] cannot say whether
we will finish in day or a week"
Everything points to an early conclusion
OF the investigation, for Postmaster Thomas
Is expecting to be called for Interrogation
at any time. His testimony will not be
taken until the very last, it being the IN
tention of the inquisitors to have all the
facts at hand before the postmaster is
called.
As far as is known every phase of the
controversy has been taken up by Secre-
tary Moss and Inspector Lindland. The
essential facts concerning the collection OF
campaign funds by w. A. Kelley at the in
stance Of Thomas have been thoroughly
threshed over. That phase of the matter
which relates TO MIR. Thomas contribution
party held in the Federal building has like
wise been investigated, Even the detail
growing out OF these phases have been gone
into thoroughly, and It does not appear that
there is much more investigating to be
done
The secretary and inspector will have q
vast amount Of work to do after the inquiry
matters in shape for presentation to the
official heads at Washington. The great
bulk OF testimony will be transcribed and
| both the secretary and inspector VIII be
! provided with a copy
! After the testimony Is presented to the
! officials at Washington considerable tim,
will be consumed in Weighing the fact. se

TIP" TURNS OUT TO BE WRONG
Attempt to Find Diamond Necklace
Causes Much Indignation.
CHARGES OF UNDERvALUATTON
Entire Family Insists Declarations
Are Made in Good Faith.
THREATEN COURT PROCEEDINGS
Bank President and Railway Di-
rector on Pier-son Says wireless
warning is sent TO Declare
Everything.

NEW YORK March 17.-The wife and a
daughter Of Joseph Hall Of Savannah, Ca,
one Of the weRlthiest and most influential
men In the south, were required to disrobe
In their stateroom aboard the steamship
Lusitania, while a customs inspector, act
ing on mysterious tip, subsequently found
to be false, made a search for a diamond
necklace thought TO have been purchased
abroad, The search proving futile, Mrs.
Hull and Miss Hull were allowed to pro-
coed to their hotel where another daugh-
ter, Miss Nina Hull convalescing from an
attack of typhoid fever had preceded
them without having been subjected to
search.
The necklace rumor dismissed, customs
inspectors scrutinized the family baggage,
and charging under valuation in the case
Of Mrs. Hull and the daughter, Eliza L..
seized the articles in question.
Mother and daughter maintained they
had acted in good faith, but their explana-
tions were not considered satisfactory to
Collector Loeb and the articles were seized.
They consist entirely of wearing apparel
and will be held until the home value"
that is, the foreign cost plus duty is paid.
Father and Son Indignant.
Joseph Hull was on the pier to greet his
wife and daughter as was a son, Daniel, a
cotton broker here. All were indignant
at the proceedings and threaten to carry
the matter to the courts IL necessary.
I'VE were made to take off even our
stockings" said Mrs. Hull.
Every inch of our clothing was searched
and even our hair did not escape consider
this treatment an outrage and / had no
idea such a thing could happen on Amer
| lean soil"
| It was explained for the family that the
report concerning the necklace had prob
! ably come from Savannah, where there
was jealousy" over the fact that the Hulls
were fortunate enough to enjoy foreign
luxuries and flnery. As to the underval-
| uation charge Daniel Hull said;
! MY sister Eliza was the only one Of
the three who had previously been abroad
so yesterday my father sent a wireless
warning to mother and the girls to be very
cautious and particular in making their
declarations. As to the alleged under
valuation, the total can be no more than
$3.50 and that was due to the ignorance Of
my mother and sisters and was done with
no malicious intent.
MY sister Eliza had a diamond necklace
which she purchased five years ago in
Savannah. A customs inspector there heard
of this and got the mistaken impression
that she bought the trinket in Paris and
was bringing 1t with her on this trip OF
course she has no such Jewels"

Refuses to Grant It.

WICHITA Kan, March III. S. Nsftz-
ger, formerly president of the Fourth Ma

in the federal court in this city today on

called Templeton and Earl we're found
guilty OF robbing the Hope and Burdick,
kan, postoffices and Callahan was con
vieted of receiving the stamps and selling
them to Frank s. Burt, who was then
chief Of police of Wichita.
Judge Pollock refused to grant a con-
tinuance Of the Naftzger case this morn
ing on account Of the absence of three
witnesses for Naftzger who are out of the
city Harry j. Bone, representing the gov
ernment prevented the continuance by ad-
mitting that the three absent witnesses
would testify that they heard Frank s.
Burt tell Naftzger that the stamps Burt
had TO sell were not stolen stamps, but
that they came from rewards earned by
the police department In catching criminals
for the government. The greater part of
the morning session was spent in securing
a jury to hear the case.
Frank S. Burt, who turned government
witness in the other stamp cases, has been

But the ore supply now available in the

which the government through the gem

GAO, covering more than 10000 acres are
involved directly or indirectly in the in
dictments so far returned by grand juries
in Spokane. Tacoma. Detroit and Chicago.
Although the Balllnger- -Pinchot contro-

Investigations were resumed last June.
The result so far has been the Indictment
Of the participants in the Dunn DOughton,
Stracey, Christopher, Simmonds, Detroit
and Watson or Frost groups Of claims.
In view OF the fact that evidence suffi-
cient to assure indictments against the par
ticipants in the various groups has been
obtained by the government, II would in
dicate that the evidence is such as to de-
mand a showing on the part Of the plot

be called for Cases which are strong

BRYCE ON IRISH AFFAIRS
Ambassador Speaks at Banquet of
Hibernian Society at Baltimore.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS BETTER
Spirit of Patriotic Pride in Tradition
and History of the Emerald
Isle showing Itself in
Many Ways.

BALTIMORE. Md, March 1S-At the st.
Patrlck's day dinner of the Hibernian So
ciety of Baltimore tonight. Ambassador
Bryce of Great Britain discussed some of
the controverted questions regarding the
birthplace and career OF St Patrick and
told some anecdotes Of the saints life. He
observed that few are the facts about him
that can be historically considered estab-
lished; the impression wbtnh st. PRtTick's
life and preaching MAIDS upon his contem-
poraries made it certain that he WAS a
great man, full Of zeal and courage and a
sanity man whose memory deserved the
reverence which not Ireland only, but the
whole Christian world had given to it for
fourteen centuries.
Economic Conditions Better.
His hearers would understand, Mr. Bryce
said, that about ireland he could say moth
ing of a political nature But he was free
to speak to them about the economic and
social state of the island, having watched
and studied it all his life, until he came to
the United States. Having been for some
time. just before he came here four years
ago, responsible as chief secretary for the
administration of Ireland, he could assure
them that the condition Of the people had
greatly improved from what 1t was thirty
or forty years ago. and that It was still
advancing. The farmers were better off;
their rents were reduced, they had money
in the banks, they were becoming owners
Of the land they titled and before long
nearly all the land would belong to the
cultivators. while cottages were being built
all over the country by laborers
Interest in Gaelic Revived.
A great revival of interest in the ancient
Gaelic language and literature was in
progress, the speaker said, and the spirit
of patriotic pride in the traditions and his
tory Of Ireland was showing itself in many
ways, drawing together men OF different
Christian bodies and making them work to-
gether for the good OF the whole commun-
ity. Seldom had any country so small as
Ireland produced greater number of men
who had won fame by their writings. like
Swift and Burke and Goldsmith, as we'll as
by their eloquence and their deeds, like
Grattan and Plunkett and Daniel O'Con-
nell. and this was true not only of the
Irish in Europe, but also the men OF Irish
stock IN America, who had given four or
five presidents 10 the United States, as
we'll as great statesmen like Calhoun and
great lawyers like Charles OConnor.
