A BING EXISTS IN THE PO8TOF r HOE DEPABTMENT AT , , WASHINGTON ' ' I The President ia - Requiring the Fourth Assistant Postmaster ' General to , Investigate . .Men , Who Draw Sala s riea but Do Not . ; Work. ; Washington, April 3. The de velopments today in tbe postoffice department scandal investigation were startling and for the first time charges so specific,' with naoies, circumstances and defend ants given, that the department im mediately put inspectors on the James Dower, and humble fire man, was bold, enough to pu$ his charges in Writing and submit them to the acting postmaster-general. If Dower's charges are sustained they will lead to the immediate rev elation of a state, of affairs which may warrant the statement that there is a big ring in almost ev&ry department of the postomce except the dead letter office,' as already pointed out by the New York Ahier ican.; ; : . Dower's eharges are mainly im portant, as it is believed they will unerringly lead to the uncovering of blackmailing scheme in the New York Postoffice, the St. Louis post office and the Indianapolis postof' fice. One. of these schemes are tracable direct to certain active and ex-officials; of the department in Washington. , - Dower makes his charges against James O'Donnell, Chief engineer Blaine Taylor, chief clerk, and Dis bursing Officer Merchant. Dower eharges: That there is a ring'itu":the engineer "department,; which from the large number of em ployes, is as important as any de partment of the postoffice; that the chief engineer has used his office to promote the interests of his friends, that rank injustice is done in the matter of promotions. That employes are paid for time during which they were not em ployed in the government service. That defective material has been purchased and that worthless con tiacts were made. That the chief clerk and disburs ing officer permit expenditures without an apparent effort at ac counting. The postoffice officials are dispos ed to sustain the officers against whom charges are made. The offi ctrs will file their answer and in the meantime inspectors will make an investigation. The report will probably be made to Postmaster-General Payne, who is expected here on the 10th ef this month.' V." The postmaster-general's confi dential secretary, H. H. Rand, will not discuss his chief movements. Indeed, Racd will not talk to news papei men at all about any phase of the postoffice department scandal. Rand's relations with the , depart ment officials now under searching investigation of Bristow are so close and intimate in character that he feels that he himself were under the ban. For months his office in the postoffice department has been the headquarters of a copper min ing company ini which "Big Gus" Machen and other department offi cials are largely interested. The stock of the concern is being sold to employees of the department all over the country by the methods that are familiar to men who use their official positions to force "in vestments ' from - their -subalterns. The phase of the department-scandal also is being , investigated by General Bristow. - . Another job that was worked through congress from Rand's of fice this winter was brought to the attention of Bristow today. This involves conduct that is distinctly declared by the statutes to be crim inal. It consisted in lobbying through congress just , before jts close of the Parish , ice claim : for $300,000. . - ; - . Rand is one of Mr; Payne's polit- icaljtrikers ir Wisconsin and is very well . known at Madison, where for years he was a conspicu ous member of the lobby maintain ed there by Payne during the ses sions of the legislature. A lew years ago he opened an office in Chicago as a "promoter.", When Mr. Payne became a member of president Roosevelt's cabinet be immediately installed Rand in of fice 88 his confidential ' secretary. What Rand's official duties are, no body aiound the postoffice depart ment eeema to know in the absence of the postmaster-general. Aside fro-n acting as chairman of numer ous boards to award contracts call ed for by Beavers, Machen and oth er bureau chiefs, whose conduct is now being Investigated. Rand is not known to have performed any public service since he has been the postmaster-general's confidential secretary. He is interested in many private business ventures with men who have no official connection with the postoffice department, but who make Rand's office their head quarters when in Washington. Rand keeps in close touch with Perry S. Heath, under whose ad ministration of the first assistant postmaster-generalship the present system v of fraud and corruption gained its greatest strength and most defiant character. , He has worked around republican national headquarters in the last presiden tial campaign and keeps Heath closely informed of what goes on in the postoffice department. If Bristow makes a case against Rand- and the postmastei-general ignores it, it is the general opinion in Washington . that President Roosevelt will very promptly call for Mr. Payne's resignation. In fact, the bitter fight between Wynne and PayBe can end only in the president calling for the resigna tion of Wynne, his personal ap pointee, or that of Payne, who was forced on him by the republican national committee. Washington, April 4. -It was learned definitely today that Postmaster-General Payne will not re turn to Washington before April 10th This news is disappointing alike to tbe officials in tbe postoffice department, who apprehend that they will be subjected to harsh crit icism by their chief for displaying so great a degree of interest in sift ing the charges of corruption, and by those who think .they have rea son to believe that the postmaster general will shield them from harm when he relieves First Assistant Postmaster-General Wynne of the duties of the chief place in the - de partment. In view of the fact that the postmaster-general will in all probabil ity attempt to stifle the 'investiga tion as soon as he returns the be lief is growiug stronger that Assistant-Postmaster General Bristow will consent to the ; giving out of the names of the , officials found guilty before Mr. Payne arrives here on April 10th. This would have the effect ef exploding the mine and of checkmating the postmaster-general in bis efforts to pre vent the scandal from becoming public property. V: Altogether there is an atmosphere of apprehension throughout the big department. As one of the old clerk's said today: "We 6hut our eyes every little while, as we think the blow ia coming. There are in vestigations te the right of .us, in veatigationB to the left of us and no tall woods to run to. When Mr. Payne comes back he will take a hand . in the situation and we shall breathe again. It was learned today that Post master-General Payne is receiving a dispatch daily acquainting him with the leading events within the department, which are sent by H. H. Rand, or by "Big" Gus Machen, who is being rigidly investigated by Bristow at the direction- of tbe president. Mr. Bristow, has found proof that there were annual assess ments in the salaries and allowance division, which collected considera ble sums of money which went into private pockets and were not even used for any political purpose. Danger or Golds and Grip. ' The greatest danger from colds and grips is their, resulting in pneumonia. " If reasonable care is used, however, and ; Chamberlain's Cough Remed taken," all danger will be avoided. Among me tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, wmcn snow conclusively that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous disear se. It will cure a cold or an attack of the grp in less time than any other treatment. , It is pleasant and eafe to take. For sale by Allen and Woodward. ,; ' ; , LIONS AT LARGE. TWO ESCAPED FROM THEIR; CAGE AND TERRORIZED A TOWN. ... Bite of Bugs That Producad In-' v sanity and Death They Are . Found in .Michigan Bogs -But Little Known of Their Habits. : Pittsfield, ' Mass., March 29. Two lioness ts escaped last night from their cage. One, after attack ing and killing a horse, .was shot and killed, and the other was cap tured. ' . , r:' The escape of the lionesses scar- ed everybody in town almost inte r. hysterics. The second lioness was -so badly frightened by the shots fired at her and the yelling crowd which followed that ahe was glad ' to get back into her; cage. . , The Bostock animal show, which had been exhibiting all last week, was moving from the Aoademy of 7 Music, and the cage containing the two lionesses was being lowered to ' the ground, a distance of about 60 feet. -: . - . ' , The tackle broke "and the caga fell and burst open. Vic. thelarg- , er lioness, waa the first out of the cage. She made- one spring and " fastened her teeth in the neck of a " horse which was standing . near. , 1 Sappho, tbe other lioness, ran down i Main street. ' The attendants of the show, arm ed with pistols and rifles, tried to get Vic away from the horse with out success. Having tasted blood -shebecame infuriated, and the keeper -era shot her. 11 - Tbe keepers joined by a hundred or more citizens armed with every- ' thing from old cutlasses to pitch forks and Revolutionary war -flint- - -locks, took up the chase of Sappho. . Some of them thought that a lio ness, like bees, could be made to settle by beating tin pans. The din, created so frightened Sappho that she ran into the first open -door she conld find, which was that of the Central automobile station. There, in one corner, she crouched; . trembling. - One of the keepers administered several kicks to Sappho, and she clambered into an empty cage which had been wheeled up. Vic had attacked her keeper William H. Crawford, only a few hours before ahe escaped. She had been unruly for several days, re fusing to go throagh the regular . performance. , s Mendon, Mich., April 4. Prof, da Vos Otinberg, who came here from Wheeling, W. Va., to obtain. specimens of the , winter bug and was bitten on the chin by one, is somewhat improved, but is still far from being out of danger. He has not yet become insane, as did Oscar Newasaky, a young polish farmer,. who died as the result of being bit ten. Newasaky's farm is in low-lying ground a few miles from here. A. winter bug bit him a few days ago , and within twenty-four hours his body swelled to frightful propor tions. Physicians could net help him. : Ha became a raving maniao : and remained so until death re lieved his suffering. Pref. Olinberga noted entomolo- gist, oFWheeling, W. Va., came , here at the request of theNational Museum at Washington, D. C, to secure some specimens of the bug... He found a nest of the insects in a bog near Newasaky's home, and while trying to capture them was -bitten on tbe chin, and within an ' hour was in a semi-conscious con dition. Olinberg does not show the sym- toms'of io sanity -that appeared ia Newasaky's case, and the physi cians are hopeful of his recovery. Scientists know very little about the habits of the winter bug, wheth er it ia poiaonous all the time or only during certain seasons. It . is deubtful whether any specimens can be obtained now vfor the Na- ' tional Museum, for every- one in the neighborhood is afraid to go in to the bogland where the winter 7 bugs are. . , .,' r For Sale. . .
