EFFORTS TO BULLDOZE WITNESSES FAIL
Testfiaoay- that Weald Dlarredlt FakS
Stories la Sot Allowed to Uo,
V 'Before the Federal
Grand Jury,
On of the star witness trior the
federal grand Jury In connection with the
Alma postofflce cane has been O. E. BeJd"o
of Alma and Orleans. lt Is understood that
he haa testified positively that he acted aa
a go-between or broker in connection with
certain federal appointments In that din
trirt. Along with, Beddso, Dr. Banwell Of
Orleans has been called on to testify. It
turns out that Dr. Banwell haa refused
to corroborate Beddeo's story, and trereny
Jiflngs this tale:
Beddeo, .talking with Dr. Banwell of Or
leans, ho waa. candidate for the post-
office appointment and has been cited to
M pear tefore the United 8;atea granu u .
wanted the doctor to corroborate his own
testimony to the effect that about Christ
mas, 1901, Dr. Banwell, Beddeo and Lows
had taken a trip together to Denver and
hat on the way they talked over the Or.
leans postofflce appointment, ' and that
Xowe told them that It would take WOO to
get bis (Lowe's) endorsement for Dr. Ban
well's appointment as postmaster, and that
1300 must- be cash, because Lowe would
have to give It to Senator Dietrich. Dr.
Banwell declined to do so, because, aa he
aaM, there was no truth in the, story, ex
cepilrg that he had taken the trip to Den
ver with Lowe and Eeddeo.
Barnwell Refaaea to Cob Arm It.
It appears now that Dr. Banwell had
keen before the grand Jury twice, and, In
aplto of fi 11 cross-questioning to lead up to
the corroboration of Beddeo's story, he
could Jiot be Induced to do so. After he
gad testified the last time Dr. Banwell
was called Into District Attorney Bummers'
office and Bummers tried to bulldose him
and frighten , Mm Into telling what he
8umnera claimed ' he knew about the
fact,, namely, about the story given by
Beddeo, , , .
The doctor haa been kept in Omaha- for
nearly, four weeks. Beddeo keeps dogging
him to make him corroborate his own
Btory to as to connect it also with the testi
mony given by Billings, the former post
master of Alma, who first said that he had
paid C00, and has since Increased the
amount to 1500, which ha asserts waa re
turned to him by Low after Lowe had
ndorsed Alltchell for the place. .At first
.liilllngs 'did not' claim ' that there was any
connection between Lowe and Dietrich in
the deal, but 'he has subsequently told In
the streets of Omaha that Lowe told him
that he had to divide with Dietrich.
''bstis't Want Lowe's Testlasoay.
Lowe was subpoenaed to appear In
Omaha wherf the grand Jury met and then
allowed to go back home without testifying.
He came back to Omaha last week and
presented himself to Mr. Bummers. Sum
mers advised him to go home quietly and If
he wanted him he would send for him. In
the meantime Lowe became suspicious that
there- was some scheme on foot to keep
lilm away' from the grand Jury In order
that the fakes gotten up by Beddeo would
he used to influence the grand Jury. He
presented' himself to the district attorney
again Monday and . requested that he be
Klven, an opportunity, to refute the testi
mony of Beddeo and Billings, which, while
It would not -Involve him In any criminal
prosecution, might-he used for procuring
an Indictment against Senator' Dietrich on
hour say testimony, but Bummers positively
' declined to allow ' him, exclaiming! "I
would Just as soon give you your discharge
and let you go home."
Mr. Lowe replied. "With the same meth
ods thrit you are pursuing in this case you
could convict me of murder as easily as of
conrplrlng to sell postofllces."
Mr. Bummers sold: "What do you mean
by the. same methods V "
Mr. Lowe replied: "I fnean by Just what
you . are doing by not allowing anything
to go before that grand Jury except what
Is Incriminating to Senator Dietrich."
Summers said: . "You don't know any
thing that haa gone before that grand
Jury at all. If you want to get before the
grand Jury you would better go to the
newspaper reporters and they will get you
ther" '" ' ;

When questioned about his trip to Den
trer and tke alleged deal with Billings, and

postofllces, Mr. Lowe made the following
answers to questions which were asked
by & representative of The, Bee: '

promise of federal appointments before he
became senator T A. No, he never did'.
Q. How did you come to have any pull
with Senator Dietrich In the distribution
of federal patronage? A. The fact of my
being a representative In the legislature
from Harlan county, and that being the
custom to request the endorsement of the
representatives before postmssters were
nominated, was the only reason thst I can
give that he selected me to help him
select the best men for the different post,
olttces.
Q. Tou supported D. E. Thompson from
the beginning as senatorial candidate to the
end, did you not? A. Tea, sir.
Only Thompson's Wishes.
Q. IsnH It a fact that Senator Dietrich
simply carried out the wishes of Mr.
Thompson In giving you recognition? A
Tes, he said he had agreed with Mr.
Thompson that I should be recognised In
that matter.
i Q. What was the nature of your under
standing? A. Numerous candidates were
app'ylng to me for. endorsement and I told
them that I didn't know that I would have
anything to say about It, and before I
would give an endorsement I wanted to
know whether I would be recognised or
not, so I asked the senator whether he
would recognise any endorsement from me
and he said that he would look to me to
help select the postmasters, v 1th the ex
ception of Orleans; that being Senator
Johnson's own office he thought he would
be better qualified to recommend the post
master than anyone else.
Q'. Who was Senator Johnson? A. He
represented Harlan county In the state
renate during the ses 'ci of 1901, when
Benator Dietrich was B'.cled. Afterwards
concluded to enter the race for the nom
ination for congress and I went to Senator
Dietrich and wanted to be relieved from
any responsibility In the postofflce ap
pointments, and he said: "Don't be a cow
ard, Lowe. Tou are better acquainted with
ths men down there than I am." He siys:
Recommend the best men for the place
those that are the best qualified and will
help the party most, and while there may
be some 'disappointments It will all blow
over and they will say that you did the
right thing, and we shall look to you to
help us out In this matter, for we do not
want any mistakes made."
Jot a Word A boat Bonne.
Q. Did you have any talk with lilm con
cerning a money consideration, or bonus, to
be paid for postmasters? A. No, there
was not one word or anything that would
lead me to believe that Benator Dietrich
van ted a dollar for any of his appoint
ments.
Q. Did you ever solicit from any of these
applicants for postofflce any money with
the claim that Dietrich was to get a part
of It? A. No, I never did, nor for any
ther purposes. -
Q. Did you ever receive any money, or
were you ever offered money by anybody
who was an applicant 'for a postofflce?
A. I never received any money, but was
offered $800 for a tetter endorsing one J. B.
Billings for reappointment as postmaster
told him that I could not give him a let
ter, aa I had already promised J. C. Mitch
ell that I would endorse him, and I abso
lutely refused to give him the letter, and.
of course, he never gave me the money,
Then, after the announcement was made
that J. C. Mitchell had been nominated,
Billings came to my office and offered me
a thousand dollars to wire Senator Dietrich,
requesting him to hold up the confirmation
of Mitchell, which I refused to do or acoept
the money. This fact can be corroborated
by a good, reliable witness.
Q. Did you have any offers from the ap
plicant for .the Orleans postmastersblp?
A. No. I told them when they would
apply to me that that was left to Senator
Johnson and an endorsement . from me
would not amount to anything,, and J. did
not care to mix in it.

BODY OF BARRETT IS FOUND
Chirred Eemalm of Fireman at List fcuj
from the Dtbris.
ONLY FRAGMENTS UFT BY THE FLAMES
rather of Dead Hero Ther Seen
After aad Coroner Is at Oaeo
gammoned to the
Scene,
The charred and partly Incinerated re
mains of William Barrett, the fireman for
whose body a wrecking crew has been
delving Into the debris of the Allen Bros.
warehouse for nearly two weeks, was dis
covered by Edward Martin, an employe of
the Merchants Express company, at 1:40
Tuesday afternoon.
Martin was digging In a pile of partially
burned boxes some forty feet south of the
rear wall and about eight feet west of the
spot where Leroy Lester's body was disin
terred, when he uncovered the skull of
Barrett. A little more digging and the
shoulders of the body had been uncovered,
and here work was stopped to await 'he
arrival of the coroner.
The body appears to be lying on Its side.
with the face to the west. The depth at
which it was uncovered corresponds with
that of the other three bodies. The father
of the unfortunate young fireman waa on
the ground shortly after the report was
sent out. All he coiild say was, "What
shall I do now?"
Inquest Still la Progress.
Taking of testimony In the Investigation
Into the deathof the four firemen, who lost
their lives In the Allen Bros, fire, was re
sumed at 10 o'clock yesterday morning be
fore Coroner Bralley and the coroner's
Jury, at the former's office.
The same array of legal talent which ap
peared at the trial Monday, was present
and the same deliberate procedure of
eliciting information from witnesses was
pursued.
M. L. Butler, who , was nominally In
charge of the 'force employed by the city
In the rescue of the bodies, was the first
witness called. He told of the recovery
of three bodies and of the location In
which they were found.
John Ellaberry, shipping clerk for Allen
Bros., and also In charge of the steam
heating plant, was the second witness on
the stand. He testified to the manner
In which the heating plant waa handled
and. as to the care exercised In banking
the fire the night previous to the fire.
Due diligence had been exercised and the
usual measures of safety employed.
. Kimball ba Stand.
Architect Thomas L. Kimball was the
third witness. He was called to testify as
to the construction of the buildings, having
drawn the plans foy the ssme, and also as
to the number of times he had Inspected
them since construction. This information
was most desired by County Attorney Eng.
llsh, who Is desirous of bringing out facts
regarding the probability of the building
In which the firemen lost their lives col.
lcpslng from being overloaded at ths time
of the fire, this question having been raised
by Inference by Attorney Abbott, who ap
pears for certain relatives of deceased.
Mr. Kimball testified substantially that
the construction waa safe and the breaking
weight of the building was several times,
that of the computed sustaining capacity.
He could not testify as to ths load the
building was carrying at the time of the
fire. Mr. Kimball's testimony' dealt almost
directly with the technicalities of construc
tion, the tensile strength of vertical and
the sustaining power of horisontal timbers.
In his estimation, h said, the -bunding
which collapsed was a safe structure for
the purpose used. ' ' -

isted which of necessity eould not last.
Within a year the market value of stocks
and bonds, the proper and legitimate hold
ings of the people, has aeproclated in aa
amount estimated far -tn excess of ths cost
of four yssrs' devastating civil war. let
notwithstanding this enormous and Incon
ceivable shrinkage. It has not affected In
noticeable degree other Classes of property.
Bankink Institutions have exnibuea no sug
gestion lot weakness, few business fail
ures have occurred, there has been but a
slight curtailment In commercial enter

absolutely no fear ot any deprecia.lon In
any torm of currency. To all appearances
the crisis Is passed, l'here now exists scant
lesson tor apprenenslon -cerialnly no ou- 1
caslon for aiurm.
By the prov.nlon of a very wise act of con
gress approved March 14, 1900, it was made
the duly of the secretary of tne treasury lo
redeem United Utates notes and treasury
notes In gold on demand, and to maintain
all forms of money Issued or coined by the
government at a parity of value. Uvidimtly
the people have understood, as they are
Justified In doing, that this statute author
ises the redemption of silver and p.ilver cer
tificates In gold whenever necacsary for
the maintenance of parity. Nothing short
of this assurance would have carried us
through -the period to which 1 have re
ferred. One well recognised weakness, however,
has been strongly emphasised our cur
rency system la nonelastlc. It does not
respond to the varying needs of saons, or
of localities, or of changing conditions of
business. This admitted direct should bs
remedied. But in remedying it no measure
should be considered that will In anywise
weaken that which la now stable, and no
element should be Injected that will causa
distrust or doubt. Fortunately, nt the pres
ent time no recipient of any of out several
forms of money stops to examine Its char
acter. It Is all known to be as good as
gold, for the credit of the government Is
pledged to maintain Its parity with gold.
No act should be passed authorising the is
suance of anything less Safe and secure.
National JHanlt Circulation.
During the fiscal year ended June 10, 1803,

No little criticism of the oustoris service
has arisen from fictitious and e::horbitant
charges, aa well aa other acts cf miscon
duct of those engaged- in representing Im
porters before the department. Some of
the worst frauds upon the reven-ies of the
government have been accomplished
through the same agencies. The arguments
vhich have led all states to place limita
tions upon those who seek to practice law
or medicine will apply wltn equal lorce In
support of the- recommendation that cus
toms brokers be reoulred to register with
the department, and pay therefor a nominal
lee, such registration to be subject to can
cellation for cause by the secretary ot the
treasury.
The Installation of a comprehensive pneu
matic tubu system between the Treasury
department ana its widely scattered
branches and bureaus, and the several de
partments whose accounts are audited In
lie Treasury department, would be a very
jrofltable Investment.
Aarwablv to an act of rnnirr.il a nnrnvwt
March 3, 13, title to square 143. In the city
of Washington, will very aoon be perfected
as a site for a hall of records. Many of the
corridors of the treasury are now filled with
boxes and cumbersome file cases awaiting
the construction of such a building. In ad
dition, this department has several rented
buildings filled to overflowing. Other de
partments are equally congested. Relief
from this condition la urgently needed.
I earnestly recommend the construction
of several very fast revenue cutters, smsll
enough to be used for hoarding and swift
enough to overtake and arrest smuggling
vessels now engaged In transferring goods
from tramp ships at anchor to private
docks. Such vessels are much needed In
the Puget Bound district and st some
points on the Great Lkes.
Appropriations for secret service work
should be liberally Incrensed.

Christmas Mince Meat. Here is s recipe
thst has always given satisfaction, snd on
account of ths materials used need not be
made so early, as It does not require so
long a time to ripen unless one desires, s
still richer mixture: Take a Isrge beet
tongue If dried, soak It over night In
plenty .of cold water, then In the morning
put over the firs In a large boiler, well
filled with cold water. Let ths water
gradually come to boiling point and at the
first boll pour ths .water off and replace
with fresh cold water: let this gradually
heat to boiling: point, then let it boll
steadily but gently for an hour. At' the
end of that time put In three pounds of
lean beef from neck or round (It the tongue
weighs more than three pounds take same
quantity of beef). Add a tablespoonful of
salt snd let boll gently for three-hours
longer, keeping covered. Then remove from
ths Are, take out the tongue snd sftn It and
then return to ths liquor in ths boiler and
let both tongue and beef cool In the water
In which they were boiled. When perfectly
cold remove the fat from liquor, take out
the meat and trim oft all skin snd gristle
snd chop fine. Remove si) skin snd mem
brane from three pounds of fresh beef suet
and chop fine, adding It to ths beef snd
tongue. Next sdd four pounds of chopped
tart apples, weighed after they are pared
and cored; four pounds of large raisins.
seeded and cut In half; two pounds of
picked, washed ana dried currants, one
pound of shredded .citron, quarter of a
pound . each of orange snd lemon peel,
shredded; one pound of sweet snd two
ounces of bitter almonds, shelled before
weighing: blanch and chop fine. Also add
the thin grated yellow rind end the Juice
of four oranges snd four lemons. Sweeten
with four pounds of soft whits sugar: add
two level tablespoonfuls of salt, a level
teaspoonful each of pepper, ground cloves,
allspice, cinnamon, mace and two medium-
sised nutmegs grated. Moisten ths whole
with a ouart of Maderla wine, a cup of
best brandy and sufficient cider to mako II
of proper consistency. Mix thoroughly.
adding more sugar, seasoning and spices If
taste requires, but be careful that no taste
predominates. Let It stand at least twenty
four hours before using. This mince meat
will keep all winter, well covered and in a
cool piece. Watch snd add mors cider if It
becomes too dry. Instead of the wine and
brandy, rich fruit syrups blackberry or
grape may be used snd the cider allowed
to get a little hard before using.

ing of the knights one week ago, but no
quorum waa proocnt. The dinner Tuesday
night prevented ths regular weekly meet
ing, so that the matter probably will not
be taken up for another week. The pur
chase pries has been named, snd If the
knights conclude before March 1 to buy
the land and building, ths sum required
will bs ti:.ooo.
The re-leaslng of the building is not
pleasing to some of ths governors, but
nothing else seems to be practicable at
this time. At each meeting for several
weeks the' topic of a home for Ak-8ar-Ben
has been discussed, but so many different
ideas were developed that no decision
could be reached. Ths poorest sort- of a
shed which could bs put up on leased
ground suitable for stoi lng ths floats would
havs cost mors than half ot the balanco in
the treasury. What was wanted was a
centrally located building for ths Initia
tions, but difficulty was experienced In
finding any lota for a possible rental nearer
than a mils from ths business center.
