BOODLE PROBER ACCISED
HOME. June 12. The consistory was spe
cially Important owing to the persistent
rumors regarding the pope's 111 health and
the previous postponements.
Naturally, a ceremony In which the pope,
half hidden In vestments, la borne em a
chatr and la continually assisted, la not
the beet opportunity to judge of his ap
pearance or the state of hie health, but a
man capable of undergoing the atraln of
nuch a function haa plenty of Titallty.
The pontiff's features seemed slightly
more clear cut and hi hands trembled per
ceptibly, but hla voire la plainly heard,
though It haa Joat something of Ita power.
The ceremony was shortened ns much as
possible and only lasted about thirty-five
minutes.
All the cardinal of the curia were In
vited to the Vatican half en hour before
the pone's appearance and they assembled
In the consistory hall In order of prece
dence, and formed a striking picture.
The entrance of the pope, chid In white
vestments and surrounded by his trusted
companions In their red robes, gave a
finishing touch to the scene. After re
ceiving the homage of those present the
pontiff recited a prayer and then pro
ceeded to the nomination of the new cardi
nal. Propose New Cardinals.
The traditional secrecy was maintained,
though It Is now largely a matter of form.
The pope proposed each new cardinal, the
members of the sacred college signifying
their assent by raialni; their caps.
The following wero created cardinals:
Monslgnor Tallunl, papal nuncio of Vienna;
Monslgnor Cavlcchlonl, secretary of the
congregation of the council; Monslgnor
AJultl, papal nuncio at Lisbon; Monslgnor
Nocella, secretary of the consistoral con
gregation; Monsignor Katsch thaler, arch
bishop of Salzburg, Austria.
Most Rev. Herroy Esptnosa, archbishop
of Valencia.
The pope transferred Cardinal Beraflno
VannutteH from the bishopric of Frascatl
to that of Porto Eanta Ruftnl, which Is of
higher rank.
Cardinal BatatS was transferred from the
titular bishopric of Santa Maria, In Ara-
ooelto the diocese of Frasoati, near Rome,
the summer residence of the Roman aris
tocracy.
Xosntnatloas of Arrhblabop.
Afterwards the pope announced the nom
(nations of several archbishops who had
been appointed by brief.
The pontiff appointed Cardinal Agllardl,
who has been replaced as prefect of econ
omy of the propaganda, to be vice chan
cellor of the Chlesa Delia Volpe.
At the conclusion of the consistory the
pope went to the throne room, where, sur
rounded by the cardinals and the papal
court, he received the homage of the new
archbishops and bishops. The ancient cere
monies were observed, each of the prelates
kissing the pontiff's foot and receiving
spoetollo 'benediction.
In the meanwhile the masters of cere
J monies, accompanied by church dignitaries,
j proceeded to the residence of Monslgnor
1 Fischer, Cavlcchlonl and Nocella, and an
V flounced their appointment and informed
them that the pope would bestow the red
hats on them at a public consistory to be
held Thursday.
Specially selected members of the noble
guard will be sent to officially convey the
news to appointees who are abroad.
It Is reported that on his return to his
apartments the pope said, smilingly, to his
v- attendants:
I "There is no doubt I feel better after
' these ceremonies."
Among the appointments confirmed at to
day's consistory was that of Father Rob
. ert Beton, formerly of Jersey City, N. J.,
a titular archbishop of Hellopolla.

The king dined with the membcra of his

to the station, accompanied by General
popovios, the head of the Servian military
deputation, and. followed by the prealdent
of the Servian senate and the other mem
bers of the parliamentary delegation, who
were greatly cheered by the Fpectators.
The station was strongly guarded by gen
darmes and detectives In order to prevent
any untoward Incident.
On the platform was gathered a deputa
tion of Geneva women, who presented the
king with many bouquets of flowers, and
many other flowers were thrown in the
carriage. The Russian consul waa among
the last to shake the king's hand as the
train pulled out amid loud cheers, in re

MINISTERS WAIT FOR KING
Position of the Assulc in Belarrade
Depend I poa Peter's
Attltndo.
BELGRADE, June IX The position of
the ministry is becoming more unenviable
dally in consequence of the Russian and
Austrian demands for the punishment of
the assassins of King Alexander and
Queen Draga.
The terms In the Russian note almost
caused a panic among the cabinet ministers
who are anxiously awaittng the arrival
of King Peter to extricate them from the
dilemma. The war minister' in the
paramount power in the ministry, as he is
backed by the entire army, and. he
threatens severe resentment in the case
of any, hint by a member of the cabinet
of the punishment of the conspirators. The
promotions of officers sent from Geneva
are variously explained aa either intended
as an open defiance or as being the result
of alarm caused by the attitude of the
army.
The foreign representatives who have not
been instructed are asking their respective
governments what attitude they shall
assume at the reception of King Peter.
The Russian minister Is in a quandry. He
had resumed relations with the provisional
government when the csar telegraphed hla
recognition of King Peter, but the minister
takes the subsequent demand for punish
ment as an indication that Russia will
possibly order the suspension of relations
with the government untn the murderers
are punished.
Meanwhile the preparations for the recep
tion of King Peter continue. A public
holiday has been proclaimed, provincial
deputations are coming to Belegrade, free
wine and beer are to be provided by the
government and the town is to be given up
to rejoicings.
SCaANTON, Pa., June 22. Startling testi
mony was produced today before the Select
Council investigating committer, which met
today to investigate the charges of bribery
made by ex-County Surveyor George F.
Stevenson, in relation to the defeat of the
Dalton street railway franchise ordinance
tn council.
W. p. Boland, one of the promoters of
the Dalton Railway company, said Select
Councilman David B. Evans of the North
ward demanded in the presence of Mr.
Stevenson t.W for himself and 10 for
each of ten other councllmen. He named
the following councllmen: John E. Regan,
Thomas O'Hoyle. James P. Maloney,
Thomas C Malvin, John Naegll, Thomas
CoBCTOve, Edward J. Coleman, Malachi
Coyne. John J. McAndrew and Richard
Morgan.
The testimony was corroborated by Mr.
Stevenson. Both men declared Evans
threatened that unless the money waa
forthcoming the ordinance would be either
ruined by amendments or defeated.
The ordinance was subsequently loaded
down with impossible amendments and then
the quorum was broken.
Mr. Boland also asserted that Selectmen
O'Boyle and Regan individually made de
mands on him, the cne asking tor the
'regular market price" and the other for
'whatever was going."
Committeeman Is Accused.
Boland s announcement that Evans In
cluded Selectman Coyne In the boodle list
created a sensation. Mr. Coyne is one
of the Investigating committee. When his
name was mentioned he Jumped to hla
feet, exclaiming: "I don't believe Mr.
Evans ever made such a statement to you,
Mr. Boland."
Witness repeated that Evans told him
Coyne was one of the eleven.
"We'll see about that later," Interrupted
the chairman, and the matter dropped.
Evana took the stand later and emphat
ically denied having mentioned any coun
cilman to Boland and Stevenson, and pro
tested that the only mention of money
was made by Boland himself. He stoutly
maintained that Boland sent for him. SBked
him to work for the ordinance and prom
ised to give him $400 or $100 for hla trouble.
He agreed to help Boland for friendship's
sake, but spumed the money. On another
occasion when Boland told him he would
make good the promise to pay, Evana for
bade him to ever again mention money to
him. E" ans formerly was employed by
Boland us a mine foreman.
He would have exposed Boland In the
council at the time If it was not that he
owed a debt of gratitude to him.
At the conclusion of the hearing In the
council chamber Selectman Evans was ar
raigned before Magistrate Miller on the
charge of soliciting bribes, preferred by
the Municipal league. The witnesses in
both cases were the same.
The Municipal league will prosecute all
the councllmen affected.

SLOWER PACE FOR AUTOS
Mayor Inclined to Think Twelve
Miles nn Hour a Little
Kat.
A conference scheduled to take place yes
terday af'i ri,;"n between tbe mayor and
I city o.incll on the automobile ordinance
j was sidetracked by the press of other busl
j ni ps.
I Mayor Moores declined to state positively
that he would veto the ordinance, but did
say that he was riot ye satisfied with it.
The provision limiting the speed of automo
biles to seven miles an hour In the terri
tory bounded by Izard, Leavenworth and
Twentieth streets is probably all right, he
said, but allowing a speed of twelve ml.es
an hour outside that limit is a -very dif
ferent matter. If a twelve-mile rate Is
allowed by law he is of the opinion that It
will be stretched to twenty or more miles.
Further than this, If there Is to be a low
speed district formed It should, he believes,
be extended beyond the limits provided for
In the ordinance now before him for action.
On the general proposition of regulating
the speed of automobiles Mayor Moores ex
pressed himself very positively. That some
accidents will inevitably occur he Is satis
fied, but he desires at the earliest possible
date, and before many accidents occur, to
have an ordinance passed and have it en
forced to the extent of fining those persons
who violate it.

WASHINGTON, June 22-The Post to
morrow will say that among the matters
Mr. Bristow is investigating is tbe pur
chase from a California company, the
Postal Device and Improvement company,
of some 17,000 devices for Indicating the
hours of collection on mall boxes. The
Invention Is said to be that of the post
master at San Francisco.
It Is also said that 7,iM of these devices
were originally ordered at a cost of $4 or
more each, giving a profit of 100 per cent,
and the allegation is made that a further
order for lO.ono was placed notwithstanding
that the original 7.000 were not used.
The company controlling the device waa
largely made up of California postal em
ployes, and the Poet will say that it is
Informed that ex-Representative Loud
of California, formerly chairman of the
house committee on postal affairs, actively
urged their claims and wrote several let
ters supporting the use of the device by
the department, and in one of them said It
would bs an accommodation to him if the
matter were attended to.
Liad Demand Puyment.
After the company had difficulty In se
curing its money for the device Mr. Loud,
the Post will say, appeared at the depart
ment on its liehalf, but specifically dis
claimed any interest in the company other
than that it was composed of his constitu
ents. He took the ground that whatever the
necessity or lack of necessity for the de
vice, constituents of his had secured the
contract and furnished the articles called
for. Therefore, he believed they should be
paid, as the government had stipulated to
puy them.
During his recent visit to the city Mr.
Loud, on certain of his visits to the depart
ment, took up some of these unpaid bll. i,
making It plain, however, that he appeared
only on behalf of constituents and not aa
one financially interested In ths company.
The allegation was made, tbe Post will
ay, that $45,000 of the deficiency of the
$106,000 . in the tree delivery service with
which Mr. Machen Is charged Is due to the
purchase of the device In question, but at
the Postofflce department this was denied
and the statement made that the matter
was under Investigation. Complaints also
had been made. It was stated, that at the
Instance of Mr. Loud the rolls at the
Presidio had been padded with postal em
ployes, but the Postofflce department dis
claimed all knowledge of such a proceed
ing. An effort was made to get a statement
from Mr. Machen on the subject, but he
declined to either affirm or deny the re
ports. More Members Indicted.
The grand Jury, which has been Investi
gating postal affairs, today returned an in
dictment against August W. Machen, Dlller
B. GroS, Samuel A. Groff, George . Lorens
and Martha J. Lorenz, the two latter being
residents of Toledo, O.
The sieclflc charge Is conspiracy to de
fraud the government. The indictment is
based on section 5445 of the revised statutes,
which provides a penalty of $10,ou0 or two
years' Imprisonment, or both at the dis
cretion of the ourt.
There are twelve counts to the Indict
ment, eleven of which are substantially the
same as those found previously against
Machen and the Groffs.
The first count of the present Indictment
declares that the suspects arranged that
Machm should advise and recommend to
the first assistant postmaster general the
purchase from the Groff Brothers of a
larpe number of the Groff fasteners for
mall boxes at $1.25 each and should pro
cure payment. The Groff Brothers were to
retain per rent of such payment or 75
cents for each fastener, and the remaining
40 per cent to be divided between Mr. and
Mrs. Iorenz and Machen.
The Indictment says this agreement was
carried out by Machen recommending the
purchase of 6,0i0 fasteners, the Groff
Brothers presenting a bill which Machen
recommended should be paid and afterward
paying $3.oo ( the $7.5' received to George
E. and Mar'hu J. Lorenz.
The testimony upon which the Indictment
was found was given by Postofflce In
spector Walter S. Mayer, I'aul E. Williams
and Joaeph F. Farrell and Theodore W.
