Congressman Hatlgen of Iowa started In today to make a fight against a senate amendment In the naval appropriation bill' which promotes certain persons over Prof. Milton 1'pdegraff of Decorah,' who Is en gaged as one of the professors st the Naval academy, but on assurance of Mr. Fobs thut the house would Insist on Its disagreement he did not press the matter.

The senator had' the strongest kind of assist ance from Senators Knox, Hopkins and Dryden, members of the' colrmlttee. ebraskans Interested In Lewis. Senator' Burkett has' received a number of letters from people In Nebraska who aeetn to think that the Postofflce department haa been extremely unjust in Its'' treatment of E."M. IwlsV'late president of the People's' bank of St. Do ills, whose mall was debarred from transmission. The People's bank,, so called, was a mail deposit proposition offer ing alluring Inducements to open an account with the' "bank.."' It was not long, however, until tho poBtofhce authorities became1 con vlnced'that the proposition was not entirely -regular and inspectors were put upon thQ case, which resulted in the lasuance of a fraud order and the disbarment of Dewls , and hla partners from the privileges of the United States mall. ' I'pon the Usuunce of the fraud order kewls sought a hearing which was granted and at hla own request was behind closed dutus. Whatever he was able to bring out did nt convince the post master general that he was conducting a strictly legitimate business and the fraud order stood. He then appealed to the courts and the decision of Judges McPherson and Vandeventer sustained the Postofflce de partment. Senator Burkett, In view of the apparent Interest among a number of hi constituents, wrote the postmaster general a letter requesting the facts In the cane and received in reply tody six pages of a typewritten letter explaining thut Dewla was given every opportunity to expluln Ms business and to show cause why the fraud order should not stand against him and he failed to accomplish this to the satisfaction C the department. .

Will Probably Have Matter by tCvealna, This Tliat th,eie Is considerable feeling be iween former Mayor -Iktiry Zlniman and I former City Clerk Klbourn ' came out at the Elbourn trial yesterday While Mr. Zlm iii an was on the stand. Mr. Zimman tes tified as to Kllxiurl! words and actions during the recount of, the lallots. Attor ney Connell took exception to- the lan guage In which the former mayor couched his testimony. The. witness "sitjd he had demanded of I Elliniirn at the beginning of the recount "that he thlovt- his mayk' off'' and come out In the open by tiling a contest himself. In effect he charged Ellioum with starting a contest through Mr. Sroekham. Again In his testimony he referred" to Mr. Elbourn as speaking "sarcastically." At both points Mr.. Connell Jumped to his feet and entered objection to the language. He accused the witness of showing his animus .toward the defendant and making "stump speeches" mi the witness stand. He called Zimman's language "self-serving statements actuated by' malice." The court ruled the object lonable language out. Later In the cross-examination Mr. Con nell asked: "You are very unfriendly to the de fendant,, are yoa not?" " 'I am-unfriendly; I. can't say that I am very unfriendly."'' ' .- "Did you not say lie- ought td be In the penitentiary and you would gf't him there?" "I have no recollection of saying that." "Did you not say to, Mjss Malone, secre tary to the mayor, .that Elbourn ought to be In the penitentiary?" "I don't' remember ,pf saying It to Miss Malone. I may have said it to others." Zlmmair Stations a Canard. Mr. Zimnian said as mayor he stationed Mr. Pliilllpson as a guard in the basement of the city hall to watch the vault con taining the ballots. .,.He had done this after a conversation with Mr. Grecnleaf. The guard was stationed at S.30 Sunday night. He said when the changes In the ballots were llrst discovered Elboutn did noncon cur. He also testified Elbourn did not de mand that the recount 'continue, ufter 'tllc alterations were discovered until bis nk torney, T. X Mahnncy, Juid said' the bal lots should all be counted. Lee Grier 'testified, '.he ,had' first heard there were Irregularities In the count Sat urday morning. He saw Elbourn that night In the' Budwelner saloon, on Dpuglaa street, but Eibourn .did not say anything about . the irregularities. Another tilt between Mr. Connell and the witness came, when Sani K. Greenleaf went on. the stand. . Mr. . GrectuVaf sakl . when the changes In the vote were first dis covered Mr. Elbourn whistled and said: "A few. more like that' and I will be all right."'.. , '.-sl-' The- witness saUt-- Elbourn ""admitted" thaf It looked like 'sOine. changea'had been made. , Mr. ConneifitUJeoted to -his use of the word "admKt-i-d'v -and tried to get him to use the word "Said"' Instead. 'Mr.' Green- leaf insisted, on using' the first' expression. The witness also testified as to the con dition of tha Vault--tit- which the " ballots were stored and th'detalls 'of.'movlng the boxes from orw yehii jo the other.. Watchman-Lime it .-stifled he had visited tho city clerk's office " .at frequent Inter vals, during the nights- of the period be tween election avid the recount. He had found Mr. Elbourn. In his office only once, and that was Friday night, between 7 and 8 o'clock. - , . . The state, has practically concluded Its case and will rest at the beginning of this morning's session. It Is believed the case will go to the Jury tonight. ' , Ballots Taken Into Court. The primary ballot alleged to have been changed Were exhhilted before the Jury in the JSlbourn trial Defnre Judge Button Thursday morning and' were, ldcntlflod by members of the canvassing board and others .interested In thQ proceedings before tluit body..- The eraser which was found In one of the boxes' -was also produced In evidence. ; !.,'.',, The first witnesses were members of the election board - lit the First precinct of the Second ward, who tetyfled merely. as to the regularity of the election. W. B. Stockham, one .o - the- defeated candidates for the nomination for city clerk, wasf -called to the "stand. H. flrst asked for' 4 .recount of .the ballots , .the -Monday following the - primary 'and shortly afterward 'Mr. Elbourn and "Mr. Broatch began contests. He said he had beep, .led to make the con test by rumcrs of crooked work In the First and Second wards. . Saturday 'night, he 'said, he war called, to the' Uudweiser saloon by I.ee. Grier,. and when ,he got there Grier and others told hlifj there had been'crooked work In' sopie of the precincts on election day and ugested a recount. William Nesselhous, who was understood to have considerable money up on the rela tive positions of Hennliifc-s und Broatch, was also there. , . - Elbonrn Demanded Keeoout. Oil cross-examination Stockham said he did not fo Into the contest In the hope nf winning put hjmself, but he did not- think Hennings had beaten Broatch and that Was why, he wanted the recount. Elbourn, he said, came Into the saloon while he was mere ancr lert at the same time he did, about midnight, and took the same car home. He also le.tifled tiiat Elbourn had demanded a recount after it was found the votes had been tampered with, saying the condition reflected on him or his employes and he wanted an Investigation made. Dan Butli-r, present city clerk, was brought back for the purpose of identifying the ballot boxes and bailota. Objection to thin part of his testimony was made by the defense on the ground he w;is pot in office at the time and did .not know any more about U than any oilier citizen. Byron G. Burhank, attorney ior Sam K. Greenleaf at the recount, wus called to. the stand. He testified whtn the condition of the ballots wa f(jnd Elbourn said he would not take a nomination under the circumstances. He then moved to dismiss ElUourn's contest, but Mr. Elbourn ob jected and Insisted on a recount of all the ballots.

Jaqulth of th Omaha Grain ex change endorsed the attitude of President Stlckney of the. Great Western on the proposal to abolish the so-called elevation charges. In an Interview yesterday he said: "Although some of the statements made by Mr. Stlckney could be combated, snd I also the Peavey contract Is, I believe, the j I only legitimate contract that hss ever been made by grsin men with, any railroad com pany. Mr. Stlckney could have cited tases where It was afterwards proven thnt other elevator concerns were receiving 3 cents per li"i pounds Instead of 1 cents, the basis of the Peavey contract. I will state further there Is no doubt but the making of the Peavey contract caused a 1.5inrt-bushel elevator to be erected, here at a time wheu there was practically no. grain business at Omaha, and 1 will state further thnt I know absolutely the elevator would not have 'been built had It not been for the contract entered Into between Mr. Peavey and the railroad company. "I do not care to enter Into any lengthy discussion of this matter, but I desire to say that the underlying principle and the fncts as set forth in the speed) nf Mr. Stlckney ara correct, snd there Is no doubt In my nflnd but every transfer charge it Istlng at present should be abolished, and let hustling ability instead of favoritism rule the business of this country. The a-reat detriment to Omnha and to all In terested in the grain trade has not been the payment of this 1'; cents elevation charge, but the abuses growing out of Jhe same, wherehy certain favored parties, linked' tn a chain of common Interest, have succeeded In collecting two or three eleva tion charges on the same grain. "As to the result on the Omaha grain market Of the action abolishing these trans fer charges, and as to the effect on the Omaha Grain exchange (the Interest of which I have deeply at hearo I desire to go on record now as saying that if every elevation charge, rebate, drawback, or whatever name you choose to call It, shall be done away with at every terminal point, as I think It will be. Omaha will then stand upon its own merits, which are ad vantageous, and the active business prin ciples of the Omaha Grain exchange would, I thoroughly believe, double the grain busl ness here within the next twelve months to what It would be If present conditions were allowed to continue. "I know of several enterprising young and active grain firms that have looked over the field nt Omaha, which will, I am sure, under the conditions which will pre vail, as soon as the elevation charges are done away with, locate here. I ;no of others already here that have been nearly 'faded' since the organisation of this ex change, not on account of the Peavey con tract, but of the abuses growing out of It, which enabled others to get much more for grain than we could." PI RE FOOI1 BII, I, n HOl"E Mr. Mann Demonstrates Serrsslty of i.aw to Protect Public. WASHINGTON, June 21,-The space In front of the- speaker's desk of the house today resembled a small section of a deli catessen store ami a corner grocery, with cereals. Jams. Jellies, tins of peas, tomatoes, Porn, bottles of whisky and wine. Imported sausage, brandied cherries and other edibles and drinkables scattered over two tables. To complete , the picture there were a standard scales .with weights, a graduate and a funnel. These were used to demon strate the contention of the majority of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce that a pure food bill Is necessary for the protection of the people. The' house went into committee of the whole for the consideration of the bill, Mr. Mnnn leading in the discussion. Mr. Mann contrasted the features of th senate and house bills, remarking that It was not the aim of the house committee on interstate snd foreign commerce to rec ommend legislation as to what the people should eat or drink, but to call attention to what they are eating or drinking. "Medicines now on the markets adver tised In the strongest term to cure the opium habit." said Mr. Mann, "contain enough opium to develop the habll." Most of the goods are not adultereted, ac cording to Mr. Mann, and since the pure food agitation, which began a number of years ago. there has been a decided re duction In adulterations. "Yr-t," said Mr. Mann, "everywhere the honest manufacturer or dealer goes he Is met by sharp and keen competition from adulterations or short weights." falling the attention of the house to the action of the proprietary association In still Insisting on the passage of the Hey burn bill, he said the association was afraid to epine out In the open and fight. He read a letter from the German-American Extract works in which they told how to make all kinds of liquors. . He snM that this firm claims to make any kind of liquor out of ethal alcohol. niack pepper, he said, is a frulrtul source of adulteration, the filler" being sold In five-ton weights, according to a letter which Mr. Mann read.

It Is the present . purpose to hsve It presented to the house tomorrow, that ft may be pi lined in the record as required by the rules, and called up for action Saturday. There are yet three points which will re ceive dleeusskm In the morning, but even on these the conferees know the position of their number so well that the result may be predicted with reasonable certainty.

"If," he said, looking at Senator Hemenway, who sat di rectly In front of him, "the senator should accept a pass from a railroad company, the prison bars would be opened to let him In, but if the president should Invite him to ride with hlni, the law could not Inter fere with him."
