EFFORTS TO BULLDOZE WITNESSES FAIL Testfiaoay- that Weald Dlarredlt FakS Stories la Sot Allowed to Uo, V 'Before the Federal Grand Jury, On of the star witness trior the federal grand Jury In connection with the Alma postofflce cane has been O. E. BeJd"o of Alma and Orleans. lt Is understood that he haa testified positively that he acted aa a go-between or broker in connection with certain federal appointments In that din trirt. Along with, Beddso, Dr. Banwell Of Orleans has been called on to testify. It turns out that Dr. Banwell haa refused to corroborate Beddeo's story, and trereny Jiflngs this tale: Beddeo, .talking with Dr. Banwell of Or leans, ho waa. candidate for the post- office appointment and has been cited to M pear tefore the United 8;atea granu u . wanted the doctor to corroborate his own testimony to the effect that about Christ mas, 1901, Dr. Banwell, Beddeo and Lows had taken a trip together to Denver and hat on the way they talked over the Or. leans postofflce appointment, ' and that Xowe told them that It would take WOO to get bis (Lowe's) endorsement for Dr. Ban well's appointment as postmaster, and that 1300 must- be cash, because Lowe would have to give It to Senator Dietrich. Dr. Banwell declined to do so, because, aa he aaM, there was no truth in the, story, ex cepilrg that he had taken the trip to Den ver with Lowe and Eeddeo. Barnwell Refaaea to Cob Arm It. It appears now that Dr. Banwell had keen before the grand Jury twice, and, In aplto of fi 11 cross-questioning to lead up to the corroboration of Beddeo's story, he could Jiot be Induced to do so. After he gad testified the last time Dr. Banwell was called Into District Attorney Bummers' office and Bummers tried to bulldose him and frighten , Mm Into telling what he 8umnera claimed ' he knew about the fact,, namely, about the story given by Beddeo, , , . The doctor haa been kept in Omaha- for nearly, four weeks. Beddeo keeps dogging him to make him corroborate his own Btory to as to connect it also with the testi mony given by Billings, the former post master of Alma, who first said that he had paid C00, and has since Increased the amount to 1500, which ha asserts waa re turned to him by Low after Lowe had ndorsed Alltchell for the place. .At first .liilllngs 'did not' claim ' that there was any connection between Lowe and Dietrich in the deal, but 'he has subsequently told In the streets of Omaha that Lowe told him that he had to divide with Dietrich. ''bstis't Want Lowe's Testlasoay. Lowe was subpoenaed to appear In Omaha wherf the grand Jury met and then allowed to go back home without testifying. He came back to Omaha last week and presented himself to Mr. Bummers. Sum mers advised him to go home quietly and If he wanted him he would send for him. In the meantime Lowe became suspicious that there- was some scheme on foot to keep lilm away' from the grand Jury In order that the fakes gotten up by Beddeo would he used to influence the grand Jury. He presented' himself to the district attorney again Monday and . requested that he be Klven, an opportunity, to refute the testi mony of Beddeo and Billings, which, while It would not -Involve him In any criminal prosecution, might-he used for procuring an Indictment against Senator' Dietrich on hour say testimony, but Bummers positively ' declined to allow ' him, exclaiming! "I would Just as soon give you your discharge and let you go home." Mr. Lowe replied. "With the same meth ods thrit you are pursuing in this case you could convict me of murder as easily as of conrplrlng to sell postofllces." Mr. Bummers sold: "What do you mean by the. same methods V " Mr. Lowe replied: "I fnean by Just what you . are doing by not allowing anything to go before that grand Jury except what Is Incriminating to Senator Dietrich." Summers said: . "You don't know any thing that haa gone before that grand Jury at all. If you want to get before the grand Jury you would better go to the newspaper reporters and they will get you ther" '" ' ; WUh that he opened the door and New branch of the World-Herald waa sitting ou'jilda, That Trio to Denve. ' When questioned about his trip to Den trer and tke alleged deal with Billings, and -.bis connection with the Alma and Orleans postofllces, Mr. Lowe made the following answers to questions which were asked by & representative of The, Bee: ' q.

Box trt (Raetno) Wis. . kl'.a oases nut cfirojite are ones euro ly ou m taw ewiucs, ai an oruita, promise of federal appointments before he became senator T A. No, he never did'. Q. How did you come to have any pull with Senator Dietrich In the distribution of federal patronage? A. The fact of my being a representative In the legislature from Harlan county, and that being the custom to request the endorsement of the representatives before postmssters were nominated, was the only reason thst I can give that he selected me to help him select the best men for the different post, olttces. Q. Tou supported D. E. Thompson from the beginning as senatorial candidate to the end, did you not? A. Tea, sir. Only Thompson's Wishes. Q. IsnH It a fact that Senator Dietrich simply carried out the wishes of Mr. Thompson In giving you recognition? A Tes, he said he had agreed with Mr. Thompson that I should be recognised In that matter. i Q. What was the nature of your under standing? A. Numerous candidates were app'ylng to me for. endorsement and I told them that I didn't know that I would have anything to say about It, and before I would give an endorsement I wanted to know whether I would be recognised or not, so I asked the senator whether he would recognise any endorsement from me and he said that he would look to me to help select the postmasters, v 1th the ex ception of Orleans; that being Senator Johnson's own office he thought he would be better qualified to recommend the post master than anyone else. Q'. Who was Senator Johnson? A. He represented Harlan county In the state renate during the ses 'ci of 1901, when Benator Dietrich was B'.cled. Afterwards concluded to enter the race for the nom ination for congress and I went to Senator Dietrich and wanted to be relieved from any responsibility In the postofflce ap pointments, and he said: "Don't be a cow ard, Lowe. Tou are better acquainted with ths men down there than I am." He siys: Recommend the best men for the place those that are the best qualified and will help the party most, and while there may be some 'disappointments It will all blow over and they will say that you did the right thing, and we shall look to you to help us out In this matter, for we do not want any mistakes made." Jot a Word A boat Bonne. Q. Did you have any talk with lilm con cerning a money consideration, or bonus, to be paid for postmasters? A. No, there was not one word or anything that would lead me to believe that Benator Dietrich van ted a dollar for any of his appoint ments. Q. Did you ever solicit from any of these applicants for postofflce any money with the claim that Dietrich was to get a part of It? A. No, I never did, nor for any ther purposes. - Q. Did you ever receive any money, or were you ever offered money by anybody who was an applicant 'for a postofflce? A. I never received any money, but was offered $800 for a tetter endorsing one J. B. Billings for reappointment as postmaster told him that I could not give him a let ter, aa I had already promised J. C. Mitch ell that I would endorse him, and I abso lutely refused to give him the letter, and. of course, he never gave me the money, Then, after the announcement was made that J. C. Mitchell had been nominated, Billings came to my office and offered me a thousand dollars to wire Senator Dietrich, requesting him to hold up the confirmation of Mitchell, which I refused to do or acoept the money. This fact can be corroborated by a good, reliable witness. Q. Did you have any offers from the ap plicant for .the Orleans postmastersblp? A. No. I told them when they would apply to me that that was left to Senator Johnson and an endorsement . from me would not amount to anything,, and J. did not care to mix in it.

BODY OF BARRETT IS FOUND Chirred Eemalm of Fireman at List fcuj from the Dtbris. ONLY FRAGMENTS UFT BY THE FLAMES rather of Dead Hero Ther Seen After aad Coroner Is at Oaeo gammoned to the Scene, The charred and partly Incinerated re mains of William Barrett, the fireman for whose body a wrecking crew has been delving Into the debris of the Allen Bros. warehouse for nearly two weeks, was dis covered by Edward Martin, an employe of the Merchants Express company, at 1:40 Tuesday afternoon. Martin was digging In a pile of partially burned boxes some forty feet south of the rear wall and about eight feet west of the spot where Leroy Lester's body was disin terred, when he uncovered the skull of Barrett. A little more digging and the shoulders of the body had been uncovered, and here work was stopped to await 'he arrival of the coroner. The body appears to be lying on Its side. with the face to the west. The depth at which it was uncovered corresponds with that of the other three bodies. The father of the unfortunate young fireman waa on the ground shortly after the report was sent out. All he coiild say was, "What shall I do now?" Inquest Still la Progress. Taking of testimony In the Investigation Into the deathof the four firemen, who lost their lives In the Allen Bros, fire, was re sumed at 10 o'clock yesterday morning be fore Coroner Bralley and the coroner's Jury, at the former's office. The same array of legal talent which ap peared at the trial Monday, was present and the same deliberate procedure of eliciting information from witnesses was pursued. M. L. Butler, who , was nominally In charge of the 'force employed by the city In the rescue of the bodies, was the first witness called. He told of the recovery of three bodies and of the location In which they were found. John Ellaberry, shipping clerk for Allen Bros., and also In charge of the steam heating plant, was the second witness on the stand. He testified to the manner In which the heating plant waa handled and. as to the care exercised In banking the fire the night previous to the fire. Due diligence had been exercised and the usual measures of safety employed. . Kimball ba Stand. Architect Thomas L. Kimball was the third witness. He was called to testify as to the construction of the buildings, having drawn the plans foy the ssme, and also as to the number of times he had Inspected them since construction. This information was most desired by County Attorney Eng. llsh, who Is desirous of bringing out facts regarding the probability of the building In which the firemen lost their lives col. lcpslng from being overloaded at ths time of the fire, this question having been raised by Inference by Attorney Abbott, who ap pears for certain relatives of deceased. Mr. Kimball testified substantially that the construction waa safe and the breaking weight of the building was several times, that of the computed sustaining capacity. He could not testify as to ths load the building was carrying at the time of the fire. Mr. Kimball's testimony' dealt almost directly with the technicalities of construc tion, the tensile strength of vertical and the sustaining power of horisontal timbers. In his estimation, h said, the -bunding which collapsed was a safe structure for the purpose used. ' ' - SECRETARY SHAW'S REPORT (Continued from Fifth Page.) isted which of necessity eould not last. Within a year the market value of stocks and bonds, the proper and legitimate hold ings of the people, has aeproclated in aa amount estimated far -tn excess of ths cost of four yssrs' devastating civil war. let notwithstanding this enormous and Incon ceivable shrinkage. It has not affected In noticeable degree other Classes of property. Bankink Institutions have exnibuea no sug gestion lot weakness, few business fail ures have occurred, there has been but a slight curtailment In commercial enter prises, very little apparent hardship, and absolutely no fear ot any deprecia.lon In any torm of currency. To all appearances the crisis Is passed, l'here now exists scant lesson tor apprenenslon -cerialnly no ou- 1 caslon for aiurm. By the prov.nlon of a very wise act of con gress approved March 14, 1900, it was made the duly of the secretary of tne treasury lo redeem United Utates notes and treasury notes In gold on demand, and to maintain all forms of money Issued or coined by the government at a parity of value. Uvidimtly the people have understood, as they are Justified In doing, that this statute author ises the redemption of silver and p.ilver cer tificates In gold whenever necacsary for the maintenance of parity. Nothing short of this assurance would have carried us through -the period to which 1 have re ferred. One well recognised weakness, however, has been strongly emphasised our cur rency system la nonelastlc. It does not respond to the varying needs of saons, or of localities, or of changing conditions of business. This admitted direct should bs remedied. But in remedying it no measure should be considered that will In anywise weaken that which la now stable, and no element should be Injected that will causa distrust or doubt. Fortunately, nt the pres ent time no recipient of any of out several forms of money stops to examine Its char acter. It Is all known to be as good as gold, for the credit of the government Is pledged to maintain Its parity with gold. No act should be passed authorising the is suance of anything less Safe and secure. National JHanlt Circulation. During the fiscal year ended June 10, 1803, national bank circulation increased, in round numbers. So7.uoo.uu0. only tl2.000.00O of which was due to new organisations. Manifest v this rats of Increaae can not be continued unlsas additional United Kiatts bonds are Drovlded. or some other Dlan la devised. In my last annual report I called atten tion to the fact that the act of J una Its. ll, which authorised the secretary of the treasury to borrow tl3,ou0,uu0 for the con struction of the propoied isthmian canal, doea not permit the use of these bonds aa security lor national bank circulation at a less rate or taxation than 1 per cent per annum. I repeat my recommendation then made that theae proposed bonda be made available aa the basis of circulation on ilia same terms as the consols authorised by act ui jaarca a. gabsldlarjr Colmage.

In ad dition, this department has several rented buildings filled to overflowing. Other de partments are equally congested. Relief from this condition la urgently needed. I earnestly recommend the construction of several very fast revenue cutters, smsll enough to be used for hoarding and swift enough to overtake and arrest smuggling vessels now engaged In transferring goods from tramp ships at anchor to private docks. Such vessels are much needed In the Puget Bound district and st some points on the Great Lkes. Appropriations for secret service work should be liberally Incrensed. LESLIE M. SHAW, Secretary.

Let ths water gradually come to boiling point and at the first boll pour ths .water off and replace with fresh cold water: let this gradually heat to boiling: point, then let it boll steadily but gently for an hour. At' the end of that time put In three pounds of lean beef from neck or round (It the tongue weighs more than three pounds take same quantity of beef). Add a tablespoonful of salt snd let boll gently for three-hours longer, keeping covered. Then remove from ths Are, take out the tongue snd sftn It and then return to ths liquor in ths boiler and let both tongue and beef cool In the water In which they were boiled. When perfectly cold remove the fat from liquor, take out the meat and trim oft all skin snd gristle snd chop fine. Remove si) skin snd mem brane from three pounds of fresh beef suet and chop fine, adding It to ths beef snd tongue. Next sdd four pounds of chopped tart apples, weighed after they are pared and cored; four pounds of large raisins. seeded and cut In half; two pounds of picked, washed ana dried currants, one pound of shredded .citron, quarter of a pound . each of orange snd lemon peel, shredded; one pound of sweet snd two ounces of bitter almonds, shelled before weighing: blanch and chop fine.
