' upon what has been accomplished In the
year that haa Just passed, especially be
cause I regard this as opening a new era
In the treatment of Irrigation from the na

policies will be more consequent to the
lutuie of the country during the next few
decades than this matter of Irrigation. It
la of vital consequence to the Intrrmoun

NEW TORK. Sept. 18 The preliminary
examination of George- W. Beavers, the
former chief of the salaries and allow
ance division of . the general post office
department, under the Indictments re
turned against him By the federal grand
Jury of Brooklyn, charging him with con
spiracy to defraud the government through
complicity with the Brandt-Bent Manu
facturing company . of Watertown, Wis.,
was commenced today before United 8tats
Commissioner Hitchcock.
The defendant was represented by Ms
counsel, Messrs. Morgan and Seabury, who
were reinforced by a third lawyer, Mag
Stauer, who conducted the examination.
The defendant, looking worried, though he
attempted to appear at ease, sat behind his
counsel.
The government's side of the case was
looked after by Assistant United States
Attorney Vle. General Henry T. Burnett,
the United States district attorney, was also
preseilt, but took little part In the s lamina
tion.
Mores to Dismiss Proceedings.
At the beginning of the examination Mr.
Stauer moved to dismiss the proceedings
on the grbund that the facts as alleged
In the complaint were Insufficient and that
no proof had been presented for the com
missioner's consideration In support of the
Indictment and complaint, as required by
law.
Mr. Stauer read a number of decisions
supporting his contention.
lawyer Stauer attacked the Indictment
as drawn by TTnlted States District Attor
ney Toungs of Brooklyn, as faulty, and he
questioned the validity of the warrant Is
sued under It.
The defense and prosecution moved to
submit memorandum on the point raised,
giving the decisions In support of each of
thtlr contentions, and the commissioner
then adjourned the examinations until 8ep
tember IS, at which time he will give ft
decision on the point at Issue.
On request of the counsel the arraignment
of McGlehan and Huntington was ad
Joumed until September 26.
McGlehan Offers Explanation.
Isaac S. McGlehan, the head of the Co
lumbia Supply company, of which George
H. Huntington Is treasurer, mad a state
ment today in explanation of his connection
with August W, Machen. The indictment
charged conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment through the sal of the larg metal
boxes or mailing packages.
Mr. McGlehan stated that the Columbia
Supply company secured the contract to
furnish the package boxes through com
petitive bid during th administration of
Postmaster General Wanamaker, th box
then used being so constructed that It sat
close to th ground and was open to com
plaint on that eoore. About this time, Mr.
McGlehan stated, the Columbia Supply
company secured from a Mr. Lexler of
Cleveland the right to use an - Improve,
ment, designed by him to overcome this
objection, upon the garment of 60 cents for
each box. The Improvement of Mr. Loxlef,
as explained by Mr. McGlehan, seemed to
be a box constructed with higher legs.
Mr.- McGlshaa explained that the Loxler
device, had, not been, patented. ,
r Maehei"' Official Position.
When the original bid was put In, and
when, the Columbia Supply company com
menced to furnish Its goods' to the depart
ment, he said, Mr. Machen was not an
official of the postal eystom. The 60 cents
per box royalty was paid to Mr. Loxler.
About two years aVter the expiration of the
original contract, and after the, Columbia
company had been for some time furnish
ing the boxes with the Iozler Improve
ment, Mr. McGlehan said that the Cleve
land Inventor called upon him and stated
ha was able to go to Europe for a couple
of years and requested the company to pay
his royalties to Mr. Machen.. who was, he
explained, Interested with him If outside
matters and who would send the money
to his wife. During the continuance of the
Loxler contract, Mr. McGlehan Mays, the
royalty vas paid - as requested, but that
that was all the connection bis company
ever had with Mr. Machen. Th contract
was secured long before Mr. Machen be
came an official of the department. After
the Losler contract ended the Columbia
company furnished a box of Its own, with
out the Loxler device.
Mr. McGiehan said he made a statement
to the postotllce Inspectors In the form ot
an affidavit. In which he explained care
fully his exact relations with Mr. Machen.
This statement, Mr. McGiehan said, he un
derstood was submitted to the federal
grand Jury in Washington, which returned
th Indictment against himself and Mr.
Huntington.
Mr. McGlehan said be wss not afraid
when th facta as he related them were
laid before th proper tribunal.

WASHINGTON, Sept. it.-In accordance
with a decision of Acting Attorney General
Hoyt declaring that th subpoena served
on th postmaster general yesterday to
appear st th hearing In New Tork today
tor th case of George W. Beavers, the
former head of the salary and allowance
division of th PoatofHc department, was
void. Th postmaster general has desig
nated Postoffice Inspector Lawrence Leth-
rrman aa his representative at th hear
ing.
Th opinion of Mr. Hoyt follows:
Mr advice to the postmaster general Is.
that while I do not think, on fundamental
grounds, under all the circumstances of
the case the United States commissioner
had any warrant in law for issuing this
writ to be served outslds ot his district. On
th whole, I believe the proper course for
the postmaster general to pursue Is to send
a irusteo employe or me aepanmeni xo
New Tork to represent him in the matter,
to appear before the commissioner tomor
row morning at the appointed hour. In
company with the United States sttorney
and to state rormany to tne commissioner
(If called uoon) on behalf of the postmaster
general that the postmaster general declines
to proouce any government recoras ana
documents called for whatsoever.
Foetmaster Oeneral Payne said today that
It was a physical Impossibility to comply
with the subpoena. In any event, aside from
th law In th esse. The subpoena, he
pointed out, called for papers, documents
and records covering years of operation of
the department to be produced before the
United States commissioner.
These papers are in constant use In con
nection with th Investigation of the postal
service and are scattered throughout the
country In the hands of the Inspectors.
Charles H. Robb, the assistant attorney
general, has decided to continue perma
nently In- that office Instead of returning to
his former position In the Department of
Justice at the completion of the postoffice
Investigation.
Postmaster General Payne today admitted
that th resignation of George A.- C. Chris-
ttancy, the former law clerk of the depart
ment, waa submitted some weeks ago, but
that action upon It had been deferred pend

The Pennsylvania derision, which evi
dently s-uides General Chsse In making sr
rests of union men. may be Itond law In
Pennsylvania, but when It conflicts with
the constitution of this stxte. ss It cer
tainly does, can have no effect here.

ART OF REST.
May Be Acquired anal Isrd With Great
Benefit.
Complete and restful poise of th body
and mind is an art not easily gained.
Perhaps nothing brings one as much
content, comfort, happiness and pleasure
aa those conditions of easy, reiaful re
sourceful and well balanced mind and body
that make of work a pleasure and the
dally life happy and peaceful.
The nervous housewife busy with a hun
dred duties and harassed by children,
the bualiiess man. worried with the press
of daily affairs, debts, etc., eannot enjoy the
peace and restful reposa and healthful.
nervous balance unless ttwy Know now.
There is a way. First and foremost the
stomach must fc consulted. That means
leaving off coffee absolutely, for the tem
porary stimulant and the resulting depres
sion Is a sure ruin to the nervous system.
snd the whole condition of 'health and hap
piness rests upon stomach, nerves and
mind.
Btart with the stomach, that Is the key
stone to the whole arch. Htop using things
that break down Its power, upset its ner
vous energy' snd prevent the proper di
gestion of. the food and the consequent
manufacture of healthful blood and nerves,
brain and tissues.
When you tiult coffee take on Potum
Foid Coffee. That Is like stopping the
payment ot interest and starting on a ca
reer where you are loaning money and re
ceiving Interest. The good results sre
double. Tou stop poisoning the system
with coffee snd start building up the bro
ken down nerve cells by powerful elements
contained In I'jsium. These ar pure food
elements ably selected by experts for the
purpose cf supplying Just the thing re
quired by nature to perform this rebuilding.
These ar solid substantial facts snd
can b proven dearly to the satisfaction
of anyone by personal sxperlenee. Try the
rhange yourself and note how th old con
dition of shattered nerves and worried
mind changes to that feeling of restful
poise of a well balanced nervous system
The managing physician of a hygienic
sanitarium In Indiana says thst for Ave
