ASKS PRESIDENT
TO RIGHT ERROR
James N. Tyner Wants Mr.
Roosevelt to Clear His Good
Name.
Washington, June 14.James N.
Tyner, ex-assistant attorney general
for the postofflce department, who
was removed on charges of corrup
tion and was recently tried and ac
quitted, has appealed to President
Roosevelt to "right the great wrong"
unwittingly done him in a statement
made by the president and based upon
the charges of Mr. Bristow, fourth
assistant postmaster general. Mr.
Tyner's appeal is in the form of a let
ter to the president, in part as fol
lows:
The President:
SirIn November, 1903, on the strength
of certain charges contained in a report
by Mr. Bristow, the fourth assistant post
master general, you gave to the press of
the country a statement to the effect that
"gross corruption in the case of Assistant
Attorney General Tyner has gone on for
a number of years," and after referring to
me as "the chief offender," you cay that
In my case "the corruption took the form
of favoring get-rlch-quick concerns and
similar schemes in other words, the crim
inals, whom it was (my) sworn duty to
(prosecute, paid (me) for permission to
fleece the public unmolested." After thus
giving your official opinion as chief mag
istrate of the nation as to my guilt, you
(referred to the fact that there were three
Indictments pending against me, and you
called upon a jury to do its duty.
Effect of Proclamation.
No verdict of jury nor sentence of judge
could have had such far reaching or ir
remedial consequences for me as this ex
traordinary official proclamation of guilt
by you, and the ordinary machinery of
justice is probably powerless fully to recti
fy the injustice done. Immediately upon
seeing your charges in the press I ad
dressed you a letter protesting that on the
mere say so of Mr. Bristow you had no
right, without at least first giving me a
chance to be heard in my defense.
When I wrote this letter I had little
hope that a merciful and just God would
spare my life long enough to.:enable me:
to face a jury of my peers, and:I wished
merely to record what I believed to be a
deathbed protest against your unusual,
unjust and arbitrary action. Fortunately,
I have now had my day in court, and ac
cording to the law of the land, I have
established my innocence of any crime or
ot any misconduct in office. I instructed
Messrs. Worthington and Hershey to lay
fully before the court and jury every act
of my official and private career, and to
take advantage of no legal technicalities.
j, Sought Vindication.
The jury was asked by me and by my
counsel and by the court to ignore my
jage and physical condition. I asked not
fo an acquittal, but for a vindicationT
(and, so far as possible, every act of mine,
preferred to in Mr. Bristow's report, was
(placed before it fully and exhaustively.
{The jury, without a moment's hesitation,
.pronounced me "not guilty" on all the
^indictments. Its verdict, I am advised
and believe, expresses the unanimous sen
'tlment of every member'of the bar and
,of the community who followed the case.
And, I may add, I was not content to
.rest my vindication on the government's
'failure to prove a crime, but I insisted
on affirmatively proving my innocence
any wrongdoing.
i Such a verdict in a trial brought in
i good faith would ordinarily be a suffi
fcclent vindication of an accused party, but
unfortunately in this case your official
proclamation of my assumed guilt has
'such weight and is entitled to have such
weight, that to many it practically over
rides the verdict of the jury.
In my letter to you Dec. 2, 1903, I In
timated briefly that your action was un
just and wrong, and that you would not
*have taken the course you did if you had
not been misled and deceived by Mr.
KBristow's report.
I do not mean for a moment to ques-
qg^$$f
We seldom fear a
danger that we cannot
see. The danger of
being run-down by a
horse is a very real
one to everybody, the
danger of being mur
dered by a microbe'
does not trouble us.
And yet the minute mi
crobe is more dangerous
than the wildest horse.
The only people who can
afford not to fear the mi
crobes of disease are those
who keep their blood pure
and rich. These are prac
tically immune from the
attacks of most' microbes.

I "I had been troubled for about four years with
eczema, or a skin disease, which at times was
almost unbearable as it would itch so," writes
Mr. John I^arison, of 115 Powhattan St., Dallas,
Texas. I concluded to try Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, and after using five bottles
found that I was entirely cured. Please accept
many thanks."

TUESDAY EVENING,
tlon the good faith and entire sincerity
qt your proclamation I wish merely to
emphasize the fact that you have been
deceived and that your laudable zeal for
public and official decency has been im
posed upon. Tou accuse me of "gross
corruption the attorneys for the gov
ernment constantly disclaimed any such
charge before the jury.
Charges Disproved. *'T
You charge that I was "paid by crim
inals not to prosecute them not a scin-*
tilla of evidence was offered to sustain
such a charge nor was a single witness
nor a single document produced to show
special favors to "swindling schemes" of
a single violation of duty. Every charge
in the Bristow report in anywise reflect
ing on me has been disproved by the re
cent trialdisproved not by virtue of the
verdict, but sworn evidence of the gov
ernment's own witnesses.
My remaining hours are few," and tho
my house is in order and with clear con
science I await from day to day the ir
revocable summons, nevertheless I cannot
close my eyes without first appealing to
you, Mr. President, as my chief accuser,
to endeavor, in so far as you can, to right
the great wrong which you have unwit
tingly done me. Very respectfully,
James N. Tyner.

Temperance Resolution Adopted.
The following temperance resolu
tion wag adopted in place of the one
reported at the forenoon session:
As the saloons and the liquor traff io are
to a terrible extent a hindrance to the
work of God and the church, and as this
evil is protected by law, the annual meet
ing of the United church exhorts all min
isters and other members of the church
not to neglect any opportunity by means
of their example, .influence and suffrage to
make persistent efforts to eradicate this
evil.
The following ministers were elect
ed presiding elders for one year: In
the Superior district, Rev. I. Lium
Crookston district, Rev. O. K. Brod
land Aberdeen district, Rev. Ole
Glesne Rice Lake district, Rev. J.
E. Nord Park River district, Rev. J.
T. Langerud Grand Forks district,
Rev. A. J. Hulteng.
Nominations Committee.
The following important motion
was carried after a brief discussion:
As the committee on nominations is one
of the most important at our' annual meet
ings, it ought, as far as possible, to rep
resent the different districts of the church.
To accomplish this end, the following ar
rangement is proposed: On assembling the
annual meeting is to elect a committee of
Ave members, who are to nominate the
twenty-seven candidates, of whom nine are
elected to constitute the committee on
nominations. In no case Is more than one
member of the same district to be elected,
and no one is to serve on this committee
two years in succession.
Rev. Th. Eggen of Madison, Wis.,
read the report of the committee on
the recommendation of the English
conference. The conference was eu
logized because of its loyalty to the
church and its conservatism. The
price of the Children's Companion is
to be reduced. A committee of two
is to write a brief manual on cate
chetics for the use of Sunday school
teachers.
Rev. Olaf Glasoe of Perley read the
report of the committee on an English
hymnbook.
Rev. O. G. U. Siljan presented the

Peabody Says Military Hat Am
ple Ground and Right to De
port Miners.
Denver, Col., June 14."The reason
for deporting strikers and agitators
from Cripple Creek," says. Governor
Peabody, "was the dynamite outrage
of June 6, whereby fourteen non
union miners were instantly killed,
and the subsequent street riots and
killing of two non-union miners by
the same element.
"Suitable provisions were' sent on
the same train with the agitators. No
cases of hunger or suffering are re
ported. The constitution of Colorado
commands the suppression of insur
rection by such means as may be
necessary.
"The statement published from 'the'
headquarters of the Western Federa
tion of Miners to the effect that the
present strike was called by
referendum vote for the pur
pose of establishing an eight-hour
day is erroneous and false.
The strike was arbitrarily called by
the executive committee of the West
ern Federation of. Miners, aa4 was
protested against by three-fourths of
the miners in the Cripple Creek dis
trict.
"The eight-hour day had been estab
lished and recognized for ten years,
and employer and employed were
satisfied and working in harmony.
"Rioting, dynamiting and anarchy
has had its'day in Colorado."
RUMOR OF FIERCE
BATTLE RENEWED
Continued from First Page.
from the "fortifications. No mention
was made of an engagement.
The absence of official news from
Tokio regarding General Oku's move
ments before Port Arthur is raising
a suspicion that the preliminary
operations on land.are not succeeding
well and that news is being withheld
until the Japanese can announce a
victory.
The Novoe "Vremya's military expert
authoritatively denies the report that
General Stakelberg is on the march
south. He declares that the only Rus
sian forces on the Liao-tung penin
sula above Port Arthur consist of cav
alry and railroad guards and adds that
it is scarcely possible to interfere with
the siege operations before Port Ar-'
thur. The chief mission of the Rus
sian cavalry detachments, it is said, is
to hamper the movements of the Jap
anese columns from the south to -the
north.
The calling out of the army reserves
in the Kasan, Kieff and Moscow mili
tary districts was announced to-day.
This step is for the purpose^ of filling',
up the skeleton reserve "corps and to
replace the regular troops already
gone or going to the front. It also
foreshadows the dispatch of four Vol
ga corps predicted a month ago. The
latter would give General Kuropatkih
200,000 more men.
YIN-KOW IS BOMBARDED
Japs Drive Russians From Defenses,
Tjhen^ From City.
Tokio, June l'i.Successful '-b6mr'
bardment by Japanese vessels ,'bf, ex
tensive earthworks thrown up by ^.the
Rusians in the neighborhood of tlri
kow is reported. The bombardment
drove 3,000 Russians from points along
the line of temporary defenses toward
Yin-kow and at last became so furious?
that the Russians abondoned the city.
It was directed first toward the
Kai-ping end of the line, but as the
Russians retreated, the Japanese line
of attack was extended so the 'czar's
troops were pursued for miles along
the route by shells from the Japanese
ships. A heavy return was made to
the Japanese fire by the Russians,- who
had twenty guns, but the batteries of
the enemy were silenced one, by one
and in many instances the Russians
retired so rapidly they were unable to
take their cannon with them.
The Japanese squadron engaged in
bombardment was maneuvered ra p
idly, and the last of the strag^leirS
was not In Yin-kow when the Japanese
began shelling that city. An attempt,
was made by the Russians to rally,
and a brief reply, to the bombardment
was made from the port itselfi but
the Japanese fire increased in severity,
and a few hours after the Russians
were in full retreat.
KILLED WHDLE PLACING MINES
One Japanese Officer and Eighteen
Men Lose Their Lives:
Tokio, June 14, 4 p. m.While the
Taihoku, a naval transport, was en
gaged in laying mines at the entrance
of Port Arthur last night, a mine ex
ploded, killing one officer and eighteen
men and wounding two officers and
seven men. The Taihoku was not
seriously damaged.
Commander Oda was one of those
wounded. He is a famous mine in
ventor.
Baltic Fleet Off for War.
London, June 14.The Daily Mail
correspondent at Hamburg wires: "A
private telegram received here states
that a Russian squadron' composed
of forty large and small warships,
probably the Baltic fleet, has passed
the island of Bornholm to the south
of Sweden, following a westerly
course. It cannot be ascertained
whether this is the trial trip of the
fleet or the actual departure for the
far east."
The Morning Leader correspondent
at Copenhagen confirms this report,
but he says the ships were only pracR
ticing maneuvers.
