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

Mr. Rand Is confidential clerk to the
postmaster general, Mr. King Is chief of

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.

Contagious Blood Poison is seen in all its hideousness. Tbe deep eating ab

Commissioner Dismisses Case.
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.

has kept the president fully advised con
cerning the Russian situation In Manchuria

of the Jews at Klshineff.

Peach Growers File Complaint.
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.

The papal delegation today received noti
fication by cable of the appointment of
Rev. T. W. Harty of St. Leo's church, St.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
New Paving on Varum B.reeU May Eesult
from Recent a cs.
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

For some ttm. cars hauling sheep have

Germany; his wife, his secretary, and bla
aaalatant secretary war. ordered by the
polio, today to leav. Prussian territory
within three weeks.
Similar orders ar about to b. served by
th local autborltlea on eighty-six other
missionaries in Prussia, under th. decision
of th government to expel them all.
It Is quit unusual to serve the wives
of Mormon missionaries with a separata
notice. Mrs. Cannon has only been here
a month. No explanation was given for th
action taken except that th presence ot
th Mormons was undeslred.
Mr. Cannon will mov. his headquarters
to Zurich. Switzerland. He has engaged
a house there, near tho on. which Calvin
took whan b. fled from France. From
Zurich th. missionaries will occasionally
visit ths Mormon communities In Prussia,
who har 1,800 members In groups of fif
teen totwenty each. Th Oerman pastors
continue their services.
No protest has yet been made against
the expulsion of the Mormons. Elder
Francis M. Lerman, of Bait Lake City, now
In London, th. European superintendent
of the Mormon mission, haa been advised
of the action of the authorities her. and is
waiting to se. If Washington will take up
th. cases of a few that wer. Ill treated.
Those cases, It is hoped may lead the
Prussian government to reverse the ex
pulsion decree and that several n.rm.n
states, notably Saxony, Hesse and Wurtem-
purg, may aiao reconsider their decree ex
pelling Mormon missionaries.
