THE MORKIKG ORE GONIAL, THOltSDAY. APRIL lt 1903. DID AS HE PLEASED How Beavers Adjusted Postal Clerks' Salaries. IGNORED LEGAL RESTRICTIONS Proposed Suspension of Suspected Chiefs of Division, as They- Ob tract Inquiry Old Charsn .Asatnst Machen Ilevlved. OREGOKIAN SEWS BTJHEA.U, "Wash ington, April If.1 One of the probable re sults of the Postofflce Investigation will be a general readjustment of the salaries of poetal clerks throughout the country. It has been discovered that the Division of .Salaries and Allowances has, under Mr. Beaver, been In the habit of placing a broad construction on the postal appro priation bills passed by Congress. These bills stipulate that a given number of clerks at each designated salary shall be employed. The division has disregarded these provisions and merely taken pains to see that the aggregate salaries did not exceed the total amount appropriated for clerk hire. This question has been re ferred to the legal advisers of the de partment, and whether or not a readjust ment Is ordered will depend upon their de cision. The suggestion has been made to Postmaster-General Payne that the superin tendents and chiefs of division now under Are be suspended pending the examina tion of their affairs. The fact that they all remain undisturbed In their positions has proved no small hindrance to the in quiry' The suspension of these officials would give the Inspectors greater freedom In getting at the facts and remove ob structions that now can be placed In their way. As yet the suggestion has been un acted upon. Enemies of Mr. Machen. of the, Free Delivery Division, are bringing -up more old charges against him, showing that in 1(87 his resignation was demanded by the then First Assistant Postmaster-General, Perry S. Heath, because of his transaction In directly securing a loan of POO from a woman on promise of securing her an ap pointment, as related In these dispatches yesterday. Machen, however, asserts that the investigation following Heath's order showed the action to have been untimely, and he was allowed to remain. It Is dis covered that Machen Is a Democrat, and his scalp is sought by partisan enemies on that account. Fresh charges are being received con stantly at the Postofflee Department In connection with the Investigation, the nature of which Is withheld from the public Postmaster-General Payne said today that the correspondence In the case of Assistant Attorney-General Tyner would be made nubile later on. Mr. Tyner"s reelKsatlon takes effect May 13. No suc cessor has yet been chosen, according to Mr. Payne, although a number of candi dates are in the field. FEARS FOR CAXAI TREATY.

Pure Food Gives Rosy Cheek. CHICAGO. April 15. A dispatch to the Becord-Herald from Washington says: Officials of the Department of Agriculture, familiar with the food tests being con ducted by Dr. Wiley, say the pmk com plexion taken on by the young men who are the subjects of experiments Is not due to the chemicals In the food, but to the complete elimination of all Impurities from the blood brought out by eating pure food alone. No drugs have been mixed with the food for the last few weeks In order that Dr. Wiley might observe the contrast In the effect of the pure foci, and that adulterated with borax and oth er chemicals.

OREGONIAN JEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. April 15. Senator Cullorn, father of the bill creating the Interstate Com merce Commission, and for many years chairman of the interstate commerce com mittee of the Senate, speaking of the re cent holding of the Court of Appeals In the merger case, says: "This decision means that the Govern ment can control and suppress every kind of trust which reotralns trade. One rail road is not prevented from acquiring an other line for the purpose of extending Its system, but parallel roads are prohibited from consolidating so as to destroy com petition. "Individuals may hereafter enter the commercial field with no fear of extinc tion by the trusts. This will be possible, s'lnce It Is clearly demonstrated that the Government has full power to deal with the trusts. During recent years the great combinations have driven Individuals out of business. The wealth of the country has been concentrated In the hands of hundreds of the few. As a result of this concentration, men of limited capital have refused to enter the commercial field, as many industries were absolutely con trolled by the trusts. The decision handed down by the Court of Appeals will make It possible for these men to Invest their money and establish new Industries, the Government suppressing such trusts as prevent competition. "I hope the decision will be sustained by the United States Supreme Court. New conditions will then follow. A large num ber of small concerns will spring into ex istence. There will be a return to the conditions before so many men were com pelled to Abandon their own business en. terprtses and work for the larger corpora tions on salaries. This will result from the knowledge that the Government pro poses to prosecute unlawful comblna. tlons, and alike protect the rich, the well-to-do and the poor. "There will now be a resumption of competition and much Idle capital will be again invested. Prior to this decision. It was Impossible to start new concerns for the manufacture of steel or tobacco, be cause these Industries and many others were completely controlled by the trusts and competition was prevented."

ORDERS TO MURDER OTIS WERE 1SSCEB BY AGCIXALDO OVER HIS SIGNATURE. Captured Filipino Document Con. tains Proof Two Assassins "Were Given Commissions. WASHINGTON, April 15. Whria. exam ining papers captured from Filipino In surgents,' Captain John.M. Taylor, of the Fourteenth Infantry, has discovered a remarkable document. Indorsed on the I back with a direction to kill General Otis. ; That Indorsement. Captain Taylor Insists, is in me uanawnuag ol Aguinaiao, ma insurgent chief.

Captain Taylor called the attention of the Chief of the Bureau of Insular Af fairs to this document In a letter. In which he says: "The note on the back, is In the handwrit ing of Agulnaldo. a handwriting with which I am familiar, and one of such peculiar mannerism that it cannot be mistaken by one who has seen much of It- I have a "quantity of holographic let ters and notes in my possession. The most cursory comparison between them and the handwriting of this note will show its Identity. "On January 1S39, a proclamation was Issued by General Otis. In which he declared the sovereignty of the United States over the Philippines. Many pro tests were drawn up' In the Philippines against this, most of them being drawn up by members of the Insurgent govern, ment, but this letter was probably unso licited evidence of the adhesion of soma Katlpunan lodge or one of the popular clubs In Manila organized by Sandlco while In the pay of the United States; clubs whose name covered their real pur pose, the formation of groups ready at a given signal to attack the Americana within the city. "Probably this paper was handed to Agulnaldo by a delegation of the signers. If this was the case, the man who signs first, Felidano de Cruz, was one of the delegates. Agulnaldo probably talked with him in private, and, as a result of the conversation, be wrote this note on the back of the paper. The other name does not appear in the signatures.. He was probably some follower or intimate friend of Cruz. "It Is to be noted that General Otis residence was In the ward of San Miguel. The signers of this paper were men who lived about It and"taiew the ground well; some of them may have been servants in the house. The attack on the American outposts did not occur until February 4, 1S9S." ROCHESTER, N. Y.. April 15. General Elwell S.

As he was dragged forth City Attorney" Decker again interfered and urged that the nsgro be given a trial. For half an hour he spoke, and the mob listened to him with the negro In Its custody. At one time it seemed that the City Attorney would win, as members of the mob began dispersing, but suddenly a rush was made for the spot where the negro was being held, and he waa dragged two blocks from the Jail, a rope fastened around his neck. and, after the rope had been thrown over the cross-arm of Sytelegraph "pole, a score of men attempted to pull the negro from the ground. As many more seized the negro and pulled to prevent bis. being hanged. Tus-of-Wor Lynchers Win. For some moments It was a veritable tug-of-war, but reinforcements. on. the free end of the rope proved the stronger, and the negro, despite his protestations ot in nocence, was finally swung into the air and strangled to death, while shouts of satisfaction went up from the mob. The name of the negro was not known, and he was a stranger in Jopltn. As soon as the negro was dead the mob dispersed, and. later the body was cut down and taken In charge by the Coroner. The lynching of the negro served only temporarily to satisfy the Indignation of the mob, and later tonight hundreds of men again assembled and rioted through the negro section of the city, burning houses and stoning negroes, and finally drove every negro from the confines ot Joplln. The police were powerless. All Xesroes Driven Out. The first act of the mob af&r hanging the negro was to demand the release from the Jail of a local character known as "Hickory BUI," who was under arrest on the charge of assaulting a negro. In the hope that this would appease the mob, the prisoner was set free. But the mob did not dlsptrse. Instead a rush was rnade through Main street, and every negro was frightened off the street and fled to the northern part of the city, where the colored population resides. In this way the negroes were driven from all parts of the city to the negro eettlement. There the mob charged on them. Stones were thrown, doors and windows of negro houses were broken in and finally several bouses were fired. Tha fire department responded, but many ot the housea were humed to the ground. The mob made endeavors to prevent the fire department from; extinguishing tho flames, and. was partially successful. All the officers of the city, township and county were called out, but the nob swept them aside and proceeded with the rioting. Mayor Trigg ran from corner to comer, and, mounting boxes, made earn est appeals to the mob to cease, but, be yond cheering the Mayor vociferously, the mob swept on and the' depredations continued. The saloons were hurrjedly closed by tha -Mayor. After the hundreds of frenzied men com posing the mob bad vented their wrath In the north end of the city, they rushed to the southern end, where lived a num ber of negroes. Their housea were va cant, and not a, negro could he found. Three more bouiea were fired and two were consumed.
