FALSE RECORDS WERE READY
Vouchers and Other Papers Prepared
to Mislead Official Inspectors Fur
niture and Cash Wrongly Asked
WASHINGTON The mil text of
the formal charges of irregularities in
the administration of postal affairs
preferred by Seymour W Tulloch for
merly cashier of the Washington city
postoffice was made public Sunday by
Mr Tuuloch The charges are em
bodied in a letter to Postmaster Gen
eral Payne in response to the latters
request Some of the matters com
plained of will be investigated imme
diately by the inspectors
Mr Tulloch says he is at the serv
ice of the postmaster general in ren
dering any further assistance that may
be desired In all instances of irreg
ularity and favoritism he says the
proper allowances records and vouch
ers were executed and kept so but
little information can be ascertained
by investigation as the real facts be
hind the allowances and vouchers are
not on record and are known to few
and therefore being interested can
not talk
For upwards of nineteen years
the letter reads the conduct of af
fairs betweeen the Washington city
postoffice and the postoffice depart
ment was regular then came the first
break the precursor of a system of
allowances to the Washington postof
fice on account of the departmental
expeditures which afterwards led to
irregularities abuses extravagances
and my removal as an obstacles on
June 30 1899
Mr Shephard then chief of the
salary and allowance division of the
postoffice department desired a file
case for the use of his office His re
quisitions were turned down by his su
perior officer Later vouchers were
presented to me for a file case accom
panied by an allowance for its pay
ment out of the funds of the Wash
ington office made by Mr Shepard and
signed by the first assistant postmas
ter general I directed the contractor
to obtain a certificate of delivery Mr
Shephard refused to acknowledge re
ceipts fearing exposure during the au
dit of the vouchers and I refused to
pay for the case until some on was
willing to father the same
Soon after the McKinley adminis
tration came into power the first as
sistant postmaster general sent his
clerk down to me with a voucher for
a lump sum for traveling expenses ac
companied by an allowance for their
payment from the funds of the Wash
ington office Such a demand was ir
regular on its face but the official be
came very angry at the idea of a mere
cashier attempting to mank any sug
gestions to him and refused to amend
and itemize his voucher The post
master explained to him that I had
only a schedule for what was required
by the auditor and according to prece
dent
The postmaster upon his return
said the official had said Look here
now this is a new administration and
a new crowd and we intend to make
our own precedents

PRAISESJROOPS
WHAT GENERAL MILES SAYS OF
PHILIPPINE ATROCITIES
FAULT OF A FEW OFFICERS
The General Lruds Refusal to Carry
Out Brutal Orders and Requests Are
Mailed Home for Action that Would
Stop Cruelty
NEW YORK The Army and Navy
Journal will print a letter from Gen
eral Miles in which he says he went
to the Philippines in an official ca
pacity and that his instructions came
from the president who directed him
to give special attention to the in
struction aisciplino and supplies of
the army
Coming to the subject of cruelties in
tho Philippines General Miles letter
reads
It is idle to assume that campaign
ing in tne Philippines has conditions
that warrant resort to medieval
cruelty and a departure from an hon
orable method of conducting warfare
and that such depredations should be
overlooked and condoned
It is most gratifying that the seri
ous offenses have not been committed
by the soldiers unless under the direct
orders of certain officers who were re
sponsible Soldiers have withheld
tire when ordered to shoot prisoners
protested against acts of cruelty and
written to relatives at home urging
them to take action to put a stop to
these crimes It will ever be one of
the glories of the army that such
deeds committed by whatever author
ity are abhorrent to the American sol
dier
The officers who are responsible do
not by any means constitute the Amer
ican army and there must be an un
mistakable line drawn between the
gFeat body of soldiers whose records
have been commendable and those of
whatever station whose acts have re
ceived and should receive the stern
est condemnation of all honorable
men
GHASTLY FIND OF FISHERMEN
Mutilated Body of a Man Found in a
Box in River
WARSAW Ind While fishing in
the Tippecanoe river Saturday Clyde
Kyle and Frank Miller found the mu
tilated and partly naked body of a
man The trunk and legs clothed
were in a wooden box from which
part of the cover had been washed
away The head and arms naked
were found in the water near the box
The box and the body were in shal
low water near the shore at a se
cluded place along the river north of
Warsaw
No one thus far has been able to
identify the body which is fairly well
preserved No one has been reporated
missing from and the police
and coroner who are working on the
case are inclined to think that the
body was shipped to Warsaw from
some city and hastily placed in the
river

BE INDEPENDENT
Its Easy to Shake Off the Coffee
Habit
There are many people who make
the humiliating acknowledgment that
they are dependent upon Coffee to
brace them up every little while
These have never learned the truth
about Postum Cereal Coffee which
makes lerving off coffee a simple
matter and brings health and
strength in place of coffee ills A
lady of Davenport Iowa who used
Postum Food Coffee for five years is
competent to talk upon the subject
She says
I am a school teacher and during
extra work when I thought I needed
to be braced up I used to indulge in
rich strong coffee of which I was
very fond and upon which I thought
I was dependent
I began to have serious heart pal
pitation and at times had sharp
pains around the heart and more or
less stomach trouble I read about
Postum and got some to try I drop
ped coffee took up the Postum and
it worked s i wonders for me that
many of my friends took it up
In a short time I was well again
even able to attend evening socials
And I did not miss my coffee at all
Now I can truthfully say that I have
been repaid fully for the change I
made I have no indications of heart
disease and not once in the past four
years have I had a sick headache or
bilious spell
My father 73 years old is a Pos
tum enthusiast and feels that his
good health in a large measure is due
to the G cups of good Postum which
he enjoys each day Name furnished
