RAN FRANCI3CO. Nov. 2D.-Former

was Indicted In Washington, D. C. for al
leged complicity in .petal frauds with G.
W. Beavero and August Machen, was today
discharged from run tody by United States
Commissioner Heacock on tha ground that
there was not sufficient evidence for trial
The Indictment against Erwln accused
Mm of entering Into a conspiracy with
Beaver and Machen to defraud the govern
ment by giving to, and obtaining for, the
"Postal Device and Improvement company"
the exclusive option of furnishing for the
use of the delivery service a time Indicator
device to be attached to letter boxes. It
waa alleged that Erwln and Beavers In
duced Machen. the general superintendent
of the free dvllvery system In the office
of the first asMstant postmaster general,
to order these devices on behalf of the
government without advertising for bids.
The commissioner. In rendering his deci
sion, reviewed at length the evidence pre
sented to him. This Included the details
of a trip to Washington In connection with
the contracts made by Erwln and D. 8.
Richardson, general superintendent of the
San Francisco postoffloe, on this point,
which had been strongly presented by the
prosecution, the commissioner said: "There
Is no act, ss far ss disclooed by tha textl
mony on the part of Erwln, upon this trip
to Washington that la. In my opinion,
wrongful, therefore. If the evidence of Mr.
Rtchardvon is true, there la no evidence
connecting Mr. Erwln with the conspiracy

ROSEBERY ON CHAMBERLAIN
Say that Former Colonial Secretary is
Mistaken at to Facts.
GREAT BRITAIN IS NOW PROSPEROUS
Speaker gays that Improved Methods
Is Better Meaaa of Pushing" Trade
Than Are Protective
Tr.rllTs.
LONDON, Nov. 25. Lord Rosebery rpoke
to 3.CV) persons on the fiscal question at
the Surrey theater tonight. There were
2u,ixV applications for tickets, tho issue of
which had to be limited to the capacity of
the theater. Lord Rosebery afterwards
addret-sed a large overflow meeting. At
both mee'ings he wan given an enthusias
tic reception and all through his speeches
he wrs heartily cheered.
His lordship's remarks were for the
most part devoted to rlduculing Joseph
Chamberlain and his policy.
"After last night's meeting at Queeu's
hall, which was attended by seven mem
bers of Lord Salisbury's government," said
the speaker, "little can be added. The
fiscal question must be solved and Anally
settled and unless It Is settled the dis
solution of Parliament cannot long be de
layed." Lord Rosebery referred to Mr. Chamber
lain ss a modern Jeremiah, whose asser
tions that the country had been desolated
were refuted by tho facta. Mr. Chamber
lain said the country was ruined, while
Mr. Balfour, on the other hand, said the
country was extremely prosperous, but
soon would be ruined. The board o( trade
blue book, however, had decided against
both of these contentions, iThe speaker
said that the condition of the people gen
erally had been Improved, while the work
Ingmen were enjoying greater prosperity.
If distress sxlsted In the country It was
because of the unwJsa expenditures of
the government, which during the last
decade had increased R2 per cent.
'Instead of curbing this growing ex
penditure," said Lord Rosebery, "Mr.
Chamberlain discovered a dlseuse which
had no exlatence and proposed a remedy
which would make the disease worse
namely, the increase In tho cost of every
commodity."
Chamberlain Is Socialistic.
The real outcome of Mr. Chamberlain's
policy, his lordship believed, will be a state
of socialism. The cry of "dumping" ap
plied to the large emporiums In this coun
try had killed the small traders. Dur
ing recent years Canada had "dumped"
into Great Britain nearly as much iron
as all the "dumping" countries put to
gether. A committee of experts, said the
speaker, would have to distinguish between
foreign and Imperially "dumped" 1 and
sweated" goods.
"The first result of Mr. Chamberlain's
policy," continued Lord Rosebery, "would
be to plunge Great Britain Into bitter fiscal
warfare with our cousins, the United States,
as the result of which Great Britain would
lone everything and gain nothing. It would
mean a practical severance far more de
plorable than fiscal severance and wohU
blight the fairest hopes of the two na
tions." '
In summing up. Lord Rosebery said that
Joseph Chamberlain had not proved his
case and that the evils of which he com
plained existed only In his imagination.
A real remedy for any adverse conditions
could be reached by stimulating practical
technical and commercial education, re
ducing the national expenditure and drink
bill of the people, encouraging the growth
of cotton within the empire, teaching
commercial travelers how to study the
tastes of the people they visited, and
through other simple and practical steps.
"which would be a better training for race
competition than mandates for negotiation
with foreign countries."
ALL HARMONY IN NEW YORK
Odell and Piatt Have a Conference
with Most Satisfactory
Results.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Goveror B. B.
Odell spent a few hours In this city today
on his return to Albany from Washington,
where he conferred yesterday with Presi
dent Roosevelt and Senator ' Thomas C
Piatt about conditions In the republican
party In this state.
Mr. Odell said that the conferences ' had
brought about ' harmony In place of the
badly strained relations which had existed;
that Senator Piatt 1 still the leader of the
party in the state, but that he himself
would hereafter take a more active part
In Its management; that the restoration of
cordial relations had been brought about
by concessions on both sides; and that
further details of the conference "were not
of Interest to persons, but to the party."
In regard to the vote of this state In
republican national convention he said, ke
had always expressed himself as believing
that it would be given to President Roose
velt.
"Do you cars to make any formal state
ment about the result of the conference
at Washington yesterday on the condition
of affairs In this state 7" the governor was
asked.
"No. there Is nothing I can say In that
way," he replied. "We simply had a
conference and arranged matters In a way
satisfactory to both sides. Senator Piatt
Is still the leader of the party in this state.
There has never been any disposition to
take the leadership from him."
Governor Odell was then anked if he
would not sssume the management In the
... 1 a jai a
luiure, uui um not annwer airectiy, stating
that he would work to the best of his abil
ity for,-the success of the party in this
state. To questions whether he would as
sume charge here, he replied that such mat
ters were things to be decided in the
future. '
I do not cars to say anything further
about ths conference," he concluded, "ex
cept that It resulted in harmonlxlng mat
ters which were In a badly strained condi
tion last week, and that the result was at
tained by bending on. both sides. We are
all united now for the success of the party
In this state."
"How about the vote of this state In the
republican national convention?"
"I have never expressed any doubt that
It would be given to Roosevelt, but do not
like questions on that point," he replied,

TURKEY IS CHEAPER TODAY
Proad Bird of Thanksgiving: tonics
Off His High Perch Local Market
Glutted with Fowls.
Late arrivals on the poultry market yes
terday afternoon met with cold reception.
All at once the demand seemed to be satis
fied and commission men were obliged to
carry over considerable stock of all kinds,
with the possible exception of ducks and
geese, which did not seem to be loo plen
tiful to meet the requirements of the
trade. In speaking of the situation a local
dealer said that he never saw no many
chickens In his life. They were haulud up
by the van load from the depots und late
last night they were still arriving, with re
ports showing that heavy" hipments were
still on the road. Just what the market on
these late arrivals will be It is. of course.
Impossible to toll before Friday or Satur
day. As a general thing the demand for
poultry for several days after Thanksgiving
and Christmas Is very I'.intted and prices
considerably lower than those ruling pre
vious to the holidays.
A good' many turkeys were unsold at the
clone of business last evening.- The de
mand was as good as could be expe.-ted In
view of the high prices, but receipts were
heavier than anticipated. Dressed stcck
was offered late yesterday at 11 to IT cents,
with live ones at 14 to 15 cents and trading
very slow. Hens and spring chickens
dropped down to 8 to 7 cents alive and
dressed they were slow sale at 7 to 7V
cents. v
l)c
IrVavIly Overstocked.
There are stacks and stacks of coops In
front of the commission houses In the
wholesale district and there are still other
stacks of dressed "birds inside. Commission
men stated yesterday evonlng that the
price on all kinds of poultry nad declined
from I to 4 cents per pound, ti'rt )g the day
and that they looked' for a still fuitlier
decline today unless the 'Weather la very la-
vorable.
The express oompurrics have been simply
swamped during the past two day.i with
shipments of all kinds of fowls. The, shlp
tnents have been coming pretty heavy for
a week past, but tho past two d.ivs have
taxed the best efforts of the transportation
companies to handle the uusl.iesa. Tne
agent of one. express compiny explained
the great Increase in the btis-lnesa over for
mer years . by the fact that the packers
have dropped out of the poultry trade. Ac
cording to his explanation, the packer,! u.ed
to run what were known as "plck-jp cars"
that Is, cars which were carried on local
freight trains and stopped ac every sta
tion to weigh in such poultry as might be
on hand awaiting shipment, l-ty slipping
this way a much lower rate of freight was
paid than by shipping locally, as (he oar
took the through rate from the point
farthest away from Omaha. This rr.nue of
gathering poultry the railroads put a. stop
to some time ago, sitjee wnlch timo cue
packer has dropped entirely out if the
business and another has declared e's In
tention of quitting.
Effect of Delayed Shipments.
"The fact that so many shipment have
come In late la the principal cause of the
high prices during the past few- diys a&d
will be the cause of the decline today, if
there Is one," said a commission man. "If
we had had the shipments as we could
have bandied them we could hava supplied
the trade at lower prices, but 'he 1 ulk of
the shipments have been bunched and let
loose upon us at the last moment. How
ever, we do not anticipate a r la aljmp If
the weather favors ua."

Secure! Promise from StioltneT to Withdraw
the Omaha Grain Etta.
STRING IS TIED TO PROMISE, HOWEVER
Condition la that Missouri Pacini-
Miuaid Withdraw Its Proposi
tion for n Proportional
' to Cie Ualf.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. X. (Special Tele-
gram.) Commissioner Trlckett of the
transportation bureau, Chairman Carkcner
of the Bourd of Trade trunaportatlon com
mittee and other members of this com
mittee returned today from St. Paul with
what they consider a definite promise from
President Stlekney of the Great Western
to withdraw the 6-cent reduction of the
proportional grain rate from Omaha to
Minneapolis and restore the rate to tho
same bapls as Kansas City. They said
President Stlekney promised to jut the rate
back as soon as the grain men could get
the Missouri Pacific to withdraw Its In
tention of putting in a proportional from
Missouri river points to the gulf.
A telegram from Traffic Manager Lincoln
late today said that If the Great Western
would readjust Its rate the Missouri Pu
clflc would not enforce the new figure.
The Kansas City men did not have to
make a direct threat of boycott on the
Mapla Leaf by Kansas City Industries. In
fact, after they talked over the affair with
Mr. Stlekney and Traffic Manager Stohr,
the Maple Leaf men seemed willing to
get out of the rate fight they had precipi
tated. Under the agreement, the new rate
should be published at once.
The Maple Leaf officials seemed worried,
the grain men said, over the complications
that will confront them In Omaha when
the Omaha people learn that the rate on
which they based hopes of building up a
hlg grain market Is to be taken away. The
capitulation of the Great Western Is a
victory for the Kansas City grain men, but
It may substantiate the stories that the
Omaha rate was a bluff from the first.

KILLS REAL H0RNED RABBIT
Yankton County Farmer I. earns tho
Secret of the Strange
Growth.
YANKTON. 8. D., Nov. 25.-(Speolal.)-A
farmer in Ycnkton county has solved the
mystery that has so long puzxled the sclen
tlflo world. Reports have been many of
the exlHtence of horned rabbits, but sped
mens have been as elusive as the sea ser
pent until yesterday, when James Devlne
killed a rabbit which had fourteen horns
around Its head and neck. Ths animal Is
on exhibition at Volin, a small town near
this city, and has excited considerable
comment. One of the horns was cut from
the animal's head and sent to a Yankton
physician. After a microscopic examlna
tlon It was determined that the so-culled
horn was In reality a tumor of the most
fibrous variety. The growth was not con
nected with the skull, but was attached
to the" tissues of the bead. The outer end
of the horn was hard and dry, resembling
a real horn very much. The growths were
fed apparently In the same manner as the
linger nails.

IMPROVERS TO COMMISSIONERS
President Shanahan Addresses Him
self to Messrs. Connolly aad
McDonald Personally.
OMAHA. Nov. 25To the Editor of The
Bee: In reply to County Commissioner
Connolly: As the author of the resolution
supposed to have been brouRht before tho
county commissioners' meeting Saturday
I wiah to correct Mr. Connolly, that Is If
The Bee of the 21st quotes him rightly. I
never looked to be put on any Investigation
committee, but I would know Just ns much
about the work as the alleged committee
he tlld have, or tho county commissioner.
Of course I admit that Mr. Connolly holds
himself as "Caesar" and should not be
dictated to, but I think It Is the duty of
any public official, when Irregularities hnve
been brought to Ms notice, to court investi
gation instead of trying to smother it out.
I Introduced this resolution In the South
Side Second Ward Improvement club on
account of previous action of the county
commissioner, and nobody else had any
thing to do with this resolution outside of
the members voting on It.
As far as tho members of the South Side
Second Ward Improvement club being
"whiffets'' and "puppets," I consider the
source from whence It came, and would
advise this great "I Am" to understand
that a great many "whiffets" may create1
a cyclone and he might get caught In the
suction, and as far as Mr. McDonald Is
concerned, we are a law abiding class of
citizens and taxpayers and ho has an lnr
vltatlon to attend our meeting any time he
wishes. Our next meeting will be held
December J, but he must understand he
will have to conduct himself as a gentle
man. M. P. SHANAHAN,
President South Side Second Ward Im
provement Club.
TURKEYS FOR ITS EMPLOYES
I n Ion Stock Yards Company Gives
Away 841 Fat Birds to Mar
ried Men.
Pursuant to the usual custom, tho Union
Stock Yards company at South Omaha on
Wednesday presented a turkey to each of
the company's employes who could pre
sent satisfactory credentials showing that
he had taken unto himself a spouse. Jack
Walters was appointed chief examiner of
the credentials, and because of his absolute
refusal to be "touched" by any one not
presenting convincing proof of his marital
state, his friends are now urging him us a
candidate for the city council. They argue
that a man who could withstand the temp
tations to which he was subjected' would
certainly b deaf to the entreaties of rail
roads, francblsed corporations, trusts or
any other ' combination that could be
formed.
This custom of presenting the married
employes with-a turkey each Thanksgiv
ing waa started many years ago, when the
total number of men on the company's pay
roll did not amount to over a few dozen.
In spite of the fact that there are now
many hundred men employed regularly, the
company has continued the practice. This
year It took SU turkeys, weighing 3.(100
pounds. They cost 20 cents per pound,
which amounts to a little over $722. Man
ager Kenyon Is living in hopes that turkeys
will bo more plentiful another year and
prices correspondingly lower.
