New York Jury Convicts ex
Congressman DriggSt
MERCY IS RECOMMENDED
Court Is Agreeable, but the ex-Representative
Cannot Escape Term
In Prison for His Influence
in Letting of 'Contract.
NEW TORJC Jan. 7.Af ter deliberating
45 minutes today, a Jury found ex-Congressman
Edmund H. Drigsasullty of ac
cepting' money to procure a contract be
tween a private company and the Gov
ernment while serving as a member of
Congress. The jury recommended mercy.
In response Judge Thomas said the
recommendation was eminently fitting, as
Sir. Driggs had conducted himself with
dignity, and because he undoubtedly vio
lated the statute unwittingly. Judge
Thomas said he believed 'Mr. Driggs was
guilty only In a technical sense.
After the Jury had been discharged the
court denied a motion for a new trial, and
reserved decision on a motion for a stay
of proceedings pending an appeal.
Judge Thomas told the counsel they
might agree on a day for sentence. He
said:
"I wish I could Inflict a eentence with
out Imprisonment, but I cannot under the
law. I shall make the sentence as light
as I possibly can. You, Driggs, are free
to come and go as you please."
Air. Driggs- admitted he had placed 250
of the Cashier Company's machines in
various departments of the postofflce at
Washington, and that be was paid $12,600
by the company. Mr. Driggs also ad
mitted that he gave money to George W.
yBeavers, who was a superintendent In the
I Postofflce Department. He declared at
the time he gave Beavers $2S00 In 1900. it
was not for services rendered, but went
toward a foreign fund. At the time
Driggs was a candidate for president of
the Borough of Brooklyn.
"While I was In Washington," Mr.
Driggs testified. "Mr. Miller, a repre
sentative of the Brandt-Dent Company,
came to me and said he had a business
proposal to make. After we had talked
over the matter, I told Mr. Miller I
thought the machines were a good thing,
and that they should be pushed on their
merits.
"I promised to take .up the machine and
push it. I acted merely as a citizen and
endeavored to getthe machine Into banks
and department stores, and went as far
as Denver and the Pacific Coast.
"All this time, I was acting, not be
cause I was a member-elect of Congress,
but because a good business proposal had
befn made to me. Finally I got an order
for 250 machines which were to be placed
in the postofflce.
"I never asked a member of Congress
to aid me, nor did I bring the matter
before any Congressional committee. The
machines went Into the department on
their merits. JTor my two years' work
for the oompany, I received 512,600 through
Mr. Miller. This was my compensation
for all the work done, and not for any
special contract secured."
Mr. Driggs declared he never paid
money to any one In connection with the
work for the company.
DIETRICH AGAIN DEMURS.
Holds Jrie.WasJot a Senator at the
yrJmoroTAt1eged Bribery.
OMAHA, Neb. Jan. 7. The trial of
United States Senator .Dietrich, m the Fed
eral Court, on an .Indictment alleging
bribery in connection with the .appoint
ment of a Postmaster at Hastings, Neb.r
Drorrensed r&nidlv tndnV until rwilnt- won
reached where the first witness for the
Government .was placed on the stand,
when General Co win. chief counsel for
Senator Dietrich interposed a demurrer
on the ground that Mr. Dietrich had not
taken the- oath and was not, therefore, a
United States Senator when the alleged
bribery occurred. .
This question was acknowledged by the
counsel for both sides to be a new one,
and each had prepared argument on the
subject. The court will, hand down an
opinion tomorrow.
The examination of Jurors and chal
lenges for cause was conducted by Assist
ant District Attorney Rush, who closely
Questioned the veniremen. Twelve of the
first 14 men Questioned by the prosecution
were satisfactory to the Government, and
they were turned over to Senator Die
trich's counsel for further examination.
The Jury was completed at 11 o'clock,
and as selected is composed of one real
estate dealer, three merchants, one miller,
one printer, two farmers, one bank clerk)
two railroad men and a. inmpsnmnVor
District Attorney Bummers in his opening
statement becan with -a snmmimr im f thn
counts In the Indictment. He cited the
aHeged agreement between Senator Die
trVch and Postmaster Fisher, of Hastings,
by which the latter is charged with pay
ing certain moneys, which tho District
Attorney stated it would be proven was
for the purpose of securing Fisher's ap
pointment as Postmaster.
"This testimony will show," stated
the District Attorney, "that the de
fendant agreed to receive, and did re
ceive, from Jacob Fisher, money, prop
erty and other valuable considerations
for procuring and aiding to procure for
him, the said Fisher, the office of
United States Postmaster at Hastings,
Neb."
Mr. Summers said that tho evidence
would show Senator Dietrich's election
as United States Senator. He then
recited tho details of the alleged trans
action by which the appointment of
Fisher was made, as would be brought
out in the testimony. The evidence'
would show, he said, that Dietrich re
quested William Dutton to notify Fish
er that if the latter would pay 5500
for certain postofflce fixtures and turn
them over to the Government, and in
addition thereto pay 5800 in cash to
him (Dietrich), that Fisher would bo
appointed Postmaster; that Dutton so
notified Fisher: that a conference fol
lowed between Fisher and Dietrich, ar
ranged by Dutton. during the course of
which the terms of the appointment
were agreed upon and that Fisher had
admitted that the alleged transactions
had been closed between himself and
Senator Dietrich.
The evidence, said the District Attor
ney, would also show that Fisher was
then appointed Postmaster. District
Attorney Summers said that after
hearing the evidence the . Government
would expect conviction or acquittal in
accord with tho evidence submitted,
and only asked for Justice to all. He
completed his statement at noon. At
torney Beatty, during the afternoon,
presented his statement or the de-Cense.

which had been shown him at his de

mize the high feeling that prevails In Co
lombia regarding isthmian affairs, but he
believes that the people of the Republic
are beginning to realize the situation and
what war would mean.

NEW UNIFORM FOR ARMY.
Kaiser Wants a Color Similar to That
Adopted by America.
BERLIN, Jan. 7. Since Emperor Will
iam saw Generals Corbln, Young and
Wood In their new uniforms at the Ger
man Army maneuvers- in September, 1902,
the army clothmakers of this country
have been experimenting with similar
shades and have produced a blend be
tween straw color and light olive green,
which will presently be substituted for
dark blue throughout the army as the
uniforms of privates and noncommis
sioned officers.
The cloth has boen tested for a year
under service conditions, for wear and
cleanliness. It was found in the last
Summer maneuvers that the new uni
forms were scarcely distinguishable at a
distance from dry stubble or grass. It
will be three or four years, before the
present uniforms entirely disappear, as
the government has upwards of 3,000,000
old uniforms In stock, though the greater
part of these have seen service.
The German Government is the largest
ready-made clothes manufacturer In the
world, turning out 600,000 to 800,000 uni
forms a year,, the exact number depend
ing on the weather.
