I8JLAMB LAST EDITION 4:30 O'CLOCK. VOIi. MI. NO. 20G. KOCK ISLAND, Hili., TIIUBSDAY, JUKE 18, 1903. PBICE TWO CENTS. ANOTHER IS TURNED OUT Metcalf Bounced From Postoffice Depart ment. NATURE OF OFFENSE Of Which He is Guilty and to Which Excep tion is Taken. Washington, June IS. On unques tioned authority it is learned the fed eral grand jury is investigating' the postal atTairs and will Monday return indictments against August V. Math en, Diller nnd Samuel Gruff, George K. Lorenz and Mrs. Lorenz. It is un derstood the specific charge will be conspiracy to defraud the govern ment. Washington, June IS. As a result of alleged indiscretion in matters per taining to the award of contracts for printing the money order forms of the government James T. Metcalf, for many 3-ears superintendent of the money order system of the postofaee department, has been removed from office ly the postmaster genoml. The dismissal is the result of acts of Met calf in opposition to the bid of Paul Herman, of Rutherford, X. J., the low est bidder by $4o.bOO. and in favor of the next highest bidder, the Wynkoop-Ilallenbcck-Crawford company, of New York, of which Met calf's son is an employe. Metcalf was appointed from Iowa. Explanation of the Case. The AVynkoop-Hallenbeck-Crawford company has been the contractor for the money order blanks for sixteen years. Paul Herman, the lowest bid der for the next contract, formerly w as in the employ of that company, as now is and has been Normal Met calf. the 27-5'car-old son of the deposed superintendent. The old company pro tested against Herman's bid on the ground that he lacked the facilities for doing tire work, and Herman asked for a hearing, which First Assistant Postmaster General Wynne pave last Monday. Metcalf. was opposed to the letting of the contract to Herman on the ground that he was not able to do the work. Heinian insisted that he could furnish satisfactory evidence of his ability to met the requirements, and offered to give bond in any a mount. Metcalf says that he has done noth ing wrong and has nothing to conceal; that his son's employ in the bidding firm could have no effect on the award; that he suggested Herman's return to his old company to handle the gov ernment work there because he (Met calf) knew that Herman's means were limited and that a stoppage of sup plies in the midst of a contract term would have proved serious. Talk of Indicting Machen. Another sensation in the postoffice matter is the talk of indicting A. W. Machen for forgery. The forgery Is alleged to have occurred in 1894, when Henry L. Lorenz, as a commis sioner of the court of claims, was en gaged in adjusting the claims of let ter carriers. The check on which Machen is accusedof indorsing Lorenz' name was issued on a voucher drawn on the postmaster at New York. The general impression at the court house is that the indictment will be returned before the close of the present week and it is intimated that other Indict ments will be returned at the same time. SEEMS TO VINDICATK TPLLOCH Brlstow Replies and Present, the Report of Inspectoral Washington, June 38. The report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow on the charges by ex-Cashier Tulloch of irregularities in the postof fice department has been made public. P.ristow's letter to the postmaster gen eral transmits the reports of inspec tors. These largely confirm the charges made by Tulloch. The papers printed In fact, constitute by far the most sig nificant documents yet made public as a result of the sweeping postal in vestigatlon. The reports show the ex istence of many irregularities during the period involved. The inspector who investigated the irregularities reports that the files of the postoffice cashier show direct orders from superior au thority for the disbursement of all the questionable itema cited. The inspector urged "that the re sponsibility for the many illegal ap pointments, the payment of two sal aries to one and the same person, and the disbursement of thousands of dol lars for which practically no service was performed," should be placed r.-Jiere.Jt. crccerly belongs, and the TWENTY-ONE HORSES IN THE SUBURBAN Whitney's Irish Lad Among the En tries in the New York Race. New York, June 18. Twenty-one horses are named to start in the sub urban handicap at Sheepshead bay this afternoon. W. C. Whitney's en try, Goldsmith, was the favorite, 4 to 1. The. track is sloppy and sticky. The. following horses are entered in the suburban: Seratcher. Waterber, tidewater, -Goldsmith. Irish Lad. In junction, Zoaroaster, Sambo. ltiany abuses corrected.' In a summary of the several re ports the postmaster general says: "The charges of Mr. Tulloch is, in its essence, against President McKinley nnd Postmaster General Smith. Presi dent McKinley is no longer living; Postmaster General Smith, who" car ried out President McKinley's policy, has answered for himself. The whole subject was taken up by Postmaster Generql Smith and investi gated by him. At the same time all matters referred to in the charges af fecting the payment of bills, accounts and financial dealings generally, were under investigation by the comptroller of the treasury, and all the expendi tures referred to were allowed by the auditor and comptroller with the ex ception of $1G0." HEAVER ADVISED SILENCE Vecause, lie Said, the Facts Would nit a "Shining Mark," In Bristow's reply, referring to the Inspector of the Washington postoftice, referred to also by Tulloch, he says: "Chief Inspector Cochran and Inspec-tor-in-Cbarge Smith called upon mt and advised me that the inspectors in the investigation of the postoffice had discovered many irregularities of a se rious nature which seemed to be au thor ized by the department." Proceeding, Bristow says: "During the progress of the Inspection I was advised by the chief inspector that Mr. George W. Beavers, chief of salary and allowance division, had suggest ed to one of the Inspectors that when he came to certain appointments in some of the stations that appeared ir regular he had letter make no refer ence to them, as they had been ordered personally by the postmaster general. I told the chief inspector to instruct the inspectors to report the facts as they would in any other inspection; that I did not Itclieve the postmaster general had knowingly authorized any irregularities. "Captain W. 1 Smith, inspector-In-charge, submitted a special reiort on July C as directed. This report dis closed what seemed to me glaring Ir regularities, and I submitted it per sonally to the postmaster general, sug gesting to him at the time that it con tained matter to which I thought he would want to give his personal at tention." I'.ristow then refers to other reports showing irregularities of various kinds. These were all turned over to the post master general, together with a spe cial report in which he stated that "I understand from the chief inspector that complaint has been made that Inspector Little was asking unneces sary questions, with the possible view of embarrassing the department with regard to certain conditions in the Washington postoffice. but that after inquiry I was clearly convinced that the questions asked were not unneces sary or Improper." POIST3 FROM THE EXHIBITS Military py Boll Methods Stated, and Other Seeming Sinuosities. In exhibit A, which is one of the reports of inspectors, irregularities are shown such as one man claiming two salaries: same thing shown on the mili tary roll, where twenty-two men drew thirty-four salaries. Other exhibits show similar curios. A confidential report of Inspector Smith made in 1S09 names four employes on the military roll who appear not to have performed any service in connection with mili tary postal matteis and for whose orig inal appointment or continuance on the rolls no good reason exists. A paj-ment to W. S. Larner, a mili tary postal clerk, of $118 is shown to be irregular, and that the cashier pro tested. Larner appealed to the de partment and the acting postmaster was informed by the department that the "Washington office held a letter from the first assistant postmaster general directing payment to be made to Mr. Larner, and If that was not good enough perhaps it would obey one signed by the postmaster gener al." The amount was finally paid un der written instructions. Objection is made to certain items of traveling expenses charged by Per ry Heath and Beaver, and the claim of one O. II. Smith to a salary for doing nothing that tbe disbursing offi cer could find out. The cashier re fused to pay Smith, when one Towers said: "General Heath wants to know why you do not pay Mr. Smith." Tow ers also wanted to know whether he should report to Heath the action of the cashier and was told that he (the cashier) would do his own reporting. Attention is called to seven clean ers, placed on the pay roll of the Wash ington office under authority of the first assistant postmaster general, to be , charged, to. . the aprr?jDriaiion,. for PETER PROCLAIMS King of Servia Tells the Servians What Principles Will Gov ern His Rule. ONE THING NEEDFUL IS AT HAND Czar's Approval Makes the Country Happy Story of a Grewsome Examination. Geneva, Switzerland, June IS. King Teter has telegraphed to Belgrade the following manifesto to be proclaimed to the Servians: "Thanks to the favor of God and the will of the people I am called to the throne of my ancestors.

It is with that motto, assured of the attachment of the army ami church, that I ascend the throne as Peter the First, Linn of Servia." Settled by the Czar's Message. Belgrade, June 18. The receipt of the czar's telegram to King Peter fin ishes, in the opinion of best informed persons, natives nnd foreigner, all pos sibility of an internal rising against the provisional government of Servia. The dispatch has so strengthened the hands of the conspirators that there is no chance whatever of opposition to them. Nothing is now heard but talk of the approaching reception of the new king. Following is the cxar's message: "Learning that the senate and the skupshtina had formally pro claimed you king of Servia, I venture to expiess to your majesty sincere wishes for the prosperity of your coun try J.nd the hope that God may come to your assistance in the enterprise you have undertaken for the happiness of your people." SCENK OF TUE ASSASSINATIONS How the Koomi Look YVliero the Murder, an' Did Their Work. Belgrade, June IS. The correspond ent of the Associated Press was al lowed to inspect the palace in which King Alexander and Queen Dragawcre murdered. The bed room remains in the same condition as when the kir.g and queen fled from It on the i p roach of the assassins. The costly silk bed coverings are full of bullet holes, the conspirators having shot wildly in all directions, through and under the bed, chairs and tables, in the efforts to find their victims. A simple wardrobe room, leadlag di rectly from the bed room, was the scene of the final act in the d:ama. The apartment is lofty, but scarcely seven feet wide and fifteen feet long, and is furnished only with three great wardrobes. The officers who attended the correspondent showed the latter the bloodstained floor at one end of the room, where the king and queen fell, and the broken shutter at the window through which their bodies weie thrown to the ground below. A secret stairway leads through the floor to rooms in the southern end of the palace. By this stairway the hap less couple might have iittempted to escape, but they were unable to do so because the opening of this stairway was covered by a heavy chest. The Servian officers, chattering and smiling, led their guest to the differ ent rooms, eagerly pointing out the bullet-holes, dynamite marks and bloodstains, and displaying the great est solicitude that none of the traces of the slaughter should be overlooked. Queen Draga's costly gowns and lin gerie were overhauled by the rough hands of the soldiers when the Asso ciated Press correspondent was in her bed room, and rude jests were made concerning the drawer full of toys which it was suggested were intended for the "expected heir." miscellaneous expenses. The inspector states that neither the postmaster nor any one connected with the Washing tpn office was able to give any in formation as to where they were em ployed or the nature of their work, and the inspector is of the opinion that practically no service whatever has been rendered for the money expend ed. Similar things seemed to be com mon and the report details several. Aagustaita Synod Adjourns. Bloomlngton, 111., June IS.
