PRESIDENT ORDLRS PROSE SUNK DEEP HcGrtfor and tpton Ar Discharged, While Sensational Action Mar Be Taken at Almost Any Moment Sow. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. June S.-(Special Tele gram.) Thomae W. McGregor and C. Ells worth t'plon, arrested yesterday charged with conspiracy to defraud tha United States government In purchase of mall pouches, were dismissed today. McGregor was credited to Nebraska and was charged with conspiring with Upton and Charles 8, Bmlth to obtain for him ordere for many thousands of leather mall pouches such as are used by rural carriers. The price agroed upon was 90 cents per pouch, while the actual value was 60 cents. It la stated at tha department that the actual number of pouches purchased ex ceeded 20.000, for which the government paid 90 centa each, or 118,000 In all. Bmlth received and retained of this for his own use 110.000, the remaining U,000 was paid to McGregor and Upton. The government could have bought the entire number of pouches from tha manufacturers for $$,000. McGregor waa appointed from Nebraska in lt&l as a messenger In the free de livery division under Mr. Machen. The latter early professed to see great possibil ities and abilities in him and rapidly pushed him to the front. From messenger's work McOregor was transferred to clerical work, for which, It Is said, he waa not well fitted at the time. Encouraged by Mr. Machen he applied himself assiduously and waa advanced from one position to an other until at the time of his arrest he waa chief of the rural free delivery sup plies. Maehen Donate of McGregor. Mr. Machen frequently boasted that Mc Oregor waa his creation; that he detected his latent ability; that but for him the Nebraakan would atlll have been messenger, and that McGregor's rapid rise was dis tinctive tribute to his discernment. Upton was an order clerk under McGregor, and waa appointed from Maryland In 1890. President Roosevelt fully approves the ac tion of tha postofTlce officials in pressing tha Investigation of the department's af fairs. It Is his intention that the Investi gation shall be sweeping and thorough and that every charge properly vouched for shall ba probed to the bottom. Tha situation waa considered in its gen eral phases at the meeting of the cabinet today, but Postmaster General Payne did not go fully into details. This afternoon, however, tha president and Mr. Payne had a long conference. It is understood that the president expressed to Mr. Payne his desire that the investigation be as search ing aa the Ingenuity of tha officials could make It, and should be pursued until the department haa been purged of even the suspicion of dishonesty. Immediately after Mr. Payne returned to the department from tha White House he sent for Mr. Bristow, whom he aquajnted with the pres ident's views. Mr. Bristow said tonight that he was not anticipating any Important developmenta tonight or tomorrow, although In view of tha constant activity of tha twenty-five Inspectors employed in the work and of tha president's earnest approval of the Investigation and his Instructions to "go to tha bottom," important action at any Moment would occasion no surprise. tmlth la Itlll Free Man. , Officials decline to discuss the statue of the cae of C. F. Smith, tha BalUmore contractor who furnished tho supplies that figured conspicuously in the proceeding against McOregor and Upton. It is signifi cant, however, that he haa not been ar rested so far, although tha Inspectors are in touch with him. The Investigating offi cers refused to answer questions today as to whether he was to give state's evidence. Mr. Machen's statement yesterday that George E. Loreni of Toledo, O., waa hls partner in mining enterprises Is confirmed by articles of Incorporation of the National Capital Copper Mining company, a corpora tion organised at Alexandria, Va.. copies of which are in the possession of the postal authorities.

It haa been alleged that the ' stock of this company waa sold to em ployes of the Postofflce department. Money for Militia 1'nlforms. Secretary Root today took tha Initial atep toward carrying Into actual effect a portion of the provisions of the Dirk militia bill when he signed tha schedule providing for the apportionment among the states of $1,000,000 to bo expended on new uniforms for national guardsmen. The militia bill provided an appropriation of $2,000,000 to equip and generally reorganise the National Guard of the country and place It on a satisfactory footing. Since the passage of the bill in March officials of tha adjutant general's office CRUSHES THE LIFE The most loathsome and repulsive thin?S is the nrrnrnt at, A ((,. ...'1 . - t Hu4 ww viicaw GCPTaai n tr nf all hnmni iHm,,., t - sink its fangs into the flesh and almost instantly the poison passes through the entire body.

Painful swellings appear in the groins, a red rash and copper col ored splotches break out on the body, the mouth and throat become ulcerated, and the hair and eye brows fall out ; but these symptoms are mild compared to the wretchedness and suffering that come in the latter stages of the disease when it attacks the bones and more vital parts of the body. It is then that Contagious Blood Poison is seen in all its hideousness. Tbe deep eating ab scesses and sickening ulcers and tumors show the whole system is corrupted and poisoned, and unless relief comes soon this serpent disease tightens its coils and crushes out the life.

United States Commissioner Taylor to day dismissed the case against Mr. Machen, which was pending before him. The dis missal Is due to the fact that the grand Jury indicted Machen yesterday, thus ren dering further action before the court un necessary. President Gets to Work. President Roosevelt, refreshed and vigor ous from his long western trip, appeared at his office In the 'executive building early this morning. He plunged at once into the mass of business awaiting him, excusing himself to all callers. To members of his cabinet he announced last night that he desired to have a meet ing with them today. Befjre 10:31) o'clock the cabinet, with the exception of Secretary unaw, haa assembled in their room in tho executive offices. They were in session shortly before noon. Postmaster General Payne and Secretary Root remained with the president after the other members had departed. Each mem ber of the cabinet made a brief statement regarding conditions In his department, the postmaster general naturally consum ing more time than the others In detailing the progress of the investigations In lii department. Secretary Hay had little to report, as he has kept the president fully advised con cerning the Russian situation In Manchuria and the appeals to his department la behalf of the Jews at Klshineff. Chief Examiner Resigns.

The Georgia Peach Growers' association. with principal offices In Macon, today filed complaint with the Interstate Commerce commission that the present high rnilroirt rates on fruit shipments to northern and eastern markets will practically destroy the peach business. Tha complaint names the following roads as defendants: The Atlantic Coast Line, t.entral of Georgia, Boaboard Air Line, Southern, Georgia Southern Florida, the Georgia Railroad company. Western ft At lantic. Macon, Dublin & Savannah and Bamnror & Ohio. Tha complaint alleges that the rates to eastern points are approximately one-third higher per mile than to western points, that three-fourths of the cars of peaches now go east on account of ths larger mar kets there and It is claimed, therefore, that actual expense to the railroads should be less than to western points.

PROPERTY OWNERS PAY ONE-THIRD ONLY Twenty-Third and Thirtieth Streets Likely to Be Favarad Xew San itary Stock Car Orders General Gossip. Since th. heavy rains the attention of the people has been called very forcibly to the need of more paved streets. Thera was a scheme set on foot Saturday to pave Twenty-third street from A street on the north to either N or Q streot on the south. Those who are Interested In seeing this street paved assert that th. cost would not amount to a great deal as the street proper has been narrowed by ordinance to thirty feet In width. Under tbe new charter. It is said, this pavement can be laid by a vot. of the council, the may.r concurring. One-third of th. cost to be taxed to tha abutting property and two-thirds to the city at large. With asphalt pavem mt selling at $2 a squar. yard, th. cost of paving In front of a sixty-foot lot would be 1200. At this rat. the cost to tho abutting property own ers would b. 167, and the city would ba called upon to pay the balance. This question of paving Twenty-third street Is to ba brought up In tha council at an early date in order that those who favor th. plan and those who are opposed may have an opportunity of expressing their opinions. Thirtieth street, from Q street south to Y street, Is to be paved this summer with vltrlned brick. As with Twenty-third street, tha width of Thirtieth street haa been reduced to thirty feet and It la pos itively stated that there will be no oppo sition to th. paving, as there Is a great deal of travel on th. atreet both summer and winter. When th. paving fever catches tha peo ple It Is expected that the council will be called upon to act upon a large number of Iwtltloai. Soma means may cs devised for the paving of Railroad avenue to tha county line. This Is a matter of great Im portance and will doubtless b. taken up by th. proper officials within th. n.xt week or two. New Sanitary Reajalatloa.. Testerday Pr. Don C. Ayer, chief In spector of tha bureau of aolmal IndfJitry at South Omaha, received orders to be Is sued to th. railroads regarding th. cleans ing of cars hauling stock. In order to properly disinfect cars hauling sheep and hogs a solution of carbollo cell, water and lime will be applied to th. Interior of eaoh car after tha stock has been unloaded.
