DEWEYS CLAIM SELF DEFENSE Dear Killing- Berrya and Declare Bvldence ftapports Their Denial. TOPEKA. Kan., June a.It Is understood that Chauncey Dewey and his associates will claim at their trial that whoever killed the Berrys acted In self-defense. It Is not admitted that either Dewey, Wilson or Mc Brlde, the three under arrest, fired the fatal shots. In fact, II Is alleged that the Berrys themselves only acoused McBrlde. "Not a particle of evidence was Intro duced In the preliminary' hearing against Wilson," said Senator Hessln In discussing Dewey fire the shot which struck him In the mouth. Beach Berry swore McBrlde fired the shot which killed his father, and ha says he also saw Wilson fire a shot, but It did not hit anybody. That Is the substance of all their testimony as to the hooting, . so that there was no 'positive evidence against.-Wilson, and even taking Roy -Berry's statements as true, there Is no evidence against Chauncey Dewey on the charge of murder. 'The Peweys were harassed by the Berrys on every hand and will have no difficulty In clearing themselves of the charge of murder." 1 HYMENEAL , Clark-Lehman. SIB LET, la..

MORTGAGE TO SCHWAB IS SCORED Attorney Declares Proceedlnace Are as Picturesque as Any of Thoae Made by the Sixth na tional Bank. NEWARK, N. J., June 23. Argument of counsel In the application for a reeelver for the United States Bhip Building com pany was held today before United States Circuit Judge Andrew 8. Klrkpatrlck. The hearing In Trenton disposed of all the affidavits and formal papers In the case, and each aide was allotted three hours for final arguments, Samuel Unter meyer of New York opened for the' com plainant and Charles L. Corbln followed for the defense. R. w: JiJhdabury will conclude the case this afternoon efter At: torney General Robert H. ktcCarter has presented arguments for the defense. Mr. Untermeyer had barely risen when Mr. McCarter asked leave . to present;.. the aflidavlta of holders of ISoe.ftOO of the- re organisation bonds, all of whom, he said, .desired to Join In the defense under the reorganization plan. Botn, , Mr. t-nxer-meyer and Mr. Llndabury objected to the introduction of the affidavits, Judge Klrk patrlck, however, held that the Introduc tion of $200,000 bond to .the . I20.0O0.OO0 already represented by Mr. Sheldon, as chairman of the reorganization committee, would make Ao special difference, and ad mitted the new documents. gays Corporation Is Insolvent.,; Mr, Untermeyer declared that he would jhow the court that the corporation was Insolvent. "It was conceived In Iniquity, mnintslnMl hv fraud and IS ending In crime," be said. The facts, counsel said,! made but an overwhelming case,' 'warrant' lng the appointment of a receiver. As an alternative plan Mr. Untermeyer declared If the Insolvency was not sh6wn to the satisfaction of the court the complainants would claim that the plan of reorganise tlon was a dellnite plan to wreck the cor poration and . that the complaipants had the equitable right to have the court In terfere to preserve their holdings. Mr. Untermeyer maintained that- the di rectors purposely misinformed 'the listing committee of the New York Stock exchange by presenting the official statement of the enmnratlon'a affairs so 'that the 'bonds could be sold to the public Mortgage Given to ichwab. Taking up the purchase by Charles M. Schwab of the Bethlehem' Steel company and the subsequent execution of the, $10.- 000,000 mortgage, as a collateral guaranty on his sale, and transfer of that property to the defendant corporation, Mr. Unter meyer declared that it -was as picturesque a proceeding as any of those made by the directors of the Sixth National bank, who bought and sold the etock of their own corporation. Concluding, Mr. Untermeyer declared a year ago the company asserted It had cash assets of $10,000,000, but by a series of bril liant exploit without parallel In the realms of higher finance the treasurer was forced to state that, by reason of the use of this money for the purchase of plants and sub sidiary corporations, the company was now unable to pay maturing fixed charges due August 1 of $946,000, and $421,000 additional liabilities due on outstanding notes and accounts. . By Its on admission, Mr. Untermeyer de e!ared.'the defendant had proved the in solvency charge. Ioeomotlve Works In'Tronble. CHICAGO, June 23.

Madden, who Is staying In Detroit, today wrote Tost master General Payne denying that he let a contract for carbon puper for the reg istry division of the postofflce without per mitting competition and nuking an Imme dlate Investigation. The letter la as fol lows: Thla morning's Free Press of this city tells Its readers In an article -vlth scure h'adllneg that Third Assistant Postmaster Oeneral Madden 1 to be Investigated. It alleges that I drew specifications of a con tract for supplying the department with carbon paper and that they were so framed as to allow of no competition. The Hrtlcle makes Mr. Wynne say that he merely approved as a routine matter. It gives the Impression that the contract Is one over which the third assistant lias control, and there Is an Inference that you consider the transaction corrupt. Calls Whole Story t'ular. The whole statement, Insofar as It at tempts to Involve me, Is absolutely false. 1 nad nothing to do with the details of the contract, I drew no speclticu'ions, 1 did not 1 sign, in fuct I never saw the contract, If there Is one. My sole Interest nnd connec- lion Wltn tne subject is limited to an ex pression of approval of the particular car bon paper In question, because it la labor saving, and In other ways a greut Im provement over the old style manifolding process and serves the nox.is of the postal service much better. Still this approval was not given until after an Investigation and recommendation to mo by my superin tendent of registry system and a recom mendation by the superintendent of division of postofflce supplies of the first assistant's office. The contract, If there be one. was both drawn and let by the office of first as sistant postmaster general and with it I had absolutely nothing to do except as before stated. If the statements printed wore given the Free Press correspondent from the office of the first or the fourth assitsant post master general they misrepresent the facts, and the publication thereof, especially In my home city. Is calculated to put me in a bad light before the neople with whom I have lived for upwards of forty years. and where fhave earned what reputation I have. It Is malicious, cruel and without the slightest Justification.- I know you too well to believe that you will sanction this attempt to involve and besmirch me unjustly and I beg you, not only rs a man, but as a consideration due my office, to at once Institute, an Investiga tion ana 00 wnnt you can 10 ascertain whether these absurdly fftlse and damaging statements were actually given out at the department, and by wiom, or whether they were the Invention , of the writer. I ask that the publication of the facts be" not tardy. F. C MADDEN. Third Assistant I'ostmaster General.

Levee Improve ments from Cairo to New Orleans, costing In the aggregate about $10,000,000, are wanted by members of the directing boards of tho levee district, representatives of which are In St. Louis to attend the annual meeting tomorrow of the Mississippi River commis sion. In 1!02 congress appropriated $2,000,000 for the Improvement of tha lower Mississippi. A like amount was appropriated this year, and -an appropriation as large Is promised in 1904 and 1906. At a conference of the district repre sentatives today it was decided to ask the Hlver commission to anticipate the appro priations of 1904 and 190& and let contracts for levee work now. If the commission so acts the work can be started at once and the levees from f'slro to New Orleans will be In a safe condition by March, 1304, or before possible high water next year. The contractors would have to wait till the appropriations were made to get their money, but government scrip, it is stated, can be discounted at 6 per cent, and the river board's offer to make good this loss provided the commission will let the work go on. The legal phase of the question has been Investigated nd It it claimed that the River commission could safely sward con tracts, even though the appropriations have not yet been made. Kansas Governor Opposes Grant. TOPEKA, Kan.. June 23. Governor Bailey said tonight his message to the leg islature Would not exceed 1,200 words. The governor. Is using his Influence gainst the plan to npproprlate $500,000 or ny other sum to give to flood sufferers. He says an appropriation Is not necessary and It Is Ids opinion that an appropriation would result In harm rather than good. Divided among the sufferers, the money appropriated would not go far, a few dol lars to each family. No family would re ceive as much ns It ought to have to re lieve its distress and all would be dis satisfied. That Is the governor's notion of the matter. He would have the legislature pass the necessary acts to enable counties and cities to rebuild bridges, to relieve people who are in distress and strengthen the banks of rivers and creeks, and then adjourn. Senator F. D. Smith has prepared a bill legalizing the loan of state money to flood sufferers, to be paid bnck In four years, without Interest. Rio Grande Sweep Tonui Away.
