Washington, Nov. 24 H appears Ili.it
the order removing Andrew McGrew
from Ills position In the Sublrcasury and
Mi Ann.) Drcjer. a clerk in the Post
Office m St. Louis, were Issued illegally
rml steps wre taken to-riny liy both de
partments to correct tho records.
Accordingly, enters have lieen issued for
the reinstatement, technically, of both
these clerks, in order th.it the depart
ments miy submit to them copies of the
.charges made against them and cite them
tho opjKirtunlty prescribed by the law for
an explanation
They are. by a sort of fiction, "reinstat
ed" in order that the two departments
may correct blut dcrs which they made by
loo hasty action
It can be said on good authority Unit
the departments Intend to again mnko
lorm.il orders for their removal after the
explanations hate been receled. and this
rcg-irdlcss of what these explanations
n.ay be.
The reason for this Is that each depart
ment has on Mo what it considers satis
factory evidence of tho truth of the com
plaints made against McGrew and Miss
Drejer and the other clerks in the St.
I.ouis Post Office who were removed for
alleged, conspiracy to Injuie Postmaster
BaumhofT.
It is not the least of the absurdities of
the ilv'II-servlce rules th.it. although a,
clerk In tho classified service must be
served with a copy of the charges made
ngnlnst him before he can be removed,
the department can afterwards proceed to
clinch his removal whether his explana
tion is good, bad or indifferent.
With rezard to McGrew and Hiss1
Drever, orders were Issued for their re
moval without having called upon them

The altendance was enormous and included many notable personages-.
The Duke of Devonshire devoted his speech almost entirely to an attack
on the tariff policy proposed by former Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamber

The robbery w;,t committed while the
famil.v was t supper. The first intlma
tica of the robbery was discovered by
HcHliiiR's little daughter shortly after the
(.veiling meal 1 ad been finished.
The buiglars entered through the front
door, walked upstairs to the rooms where
the Icwelry was kept and ransacked It
thoroughly, looking for the valuables.
After securing their booty the thieves
opened a back window, got out on the
second-story back porch and slid down a
Iost.
The jewels were valued at more than
their Intrinsic worth, because most of
theai were family heirlooms.
The Scaling home Is one of the most
fashionable In 'Woodlawn, and has been
the scene of many brilliant social func
tions. No clew w-as left by the burglars. Mar-
t hal Secrest thinks that the work was
VJfcnc by some one familiar with the loca-
rlion of the jewels, and Is conducting bis
InvesUgatlon with that idea.
Pawnshops in St. Iouis were furnished
yesterday with a description of the Jewelry.

The present programme Is to Issue final
orders of removal as soon as the explana
tions are filed in Washington. Both de
partments then will consider the law ns
having been complied with fully and the
record straight. '
It Is somewhat doubtful If there Is any
legal way by which these clerks could be
restored to tho pay rolls permanently un
der all the circumstances. Their connec
tion with the alleged conspiracy was es
tablished to the satisfaction of the Gov
ernment by the report of former Civ II
Service Commissioner Foulke.
Ho did not go them at a member of tho
commission, but as a personal representa
tive of the President, and his conclusions
are on file.
The status of the matter is. therefore,
that they are found delinquent, officially;
and unless Mr. Foulke were to ictract his
statements concerning the matter, these
clerks could not be fully reinstated.
Their technical reinstatement is some
what Irregular, but it is done only in or
der to comply with rule 12 of the Civ II
Scrvlce code, which wan. Iilited by the
hasty action of thci'reasurv apd Post
Office departments.
The matter has been complicated In
many wajs and this new development is
only another of the awkward positions In
which the Government has found it"elf.
It seems that similar action will have to
be taken with regard to the other clerks
in the St. Eouis Post Office who were le
moved with Miss Drcyer if they demand
an opportunity to explain.

Victor. N. A'.. Nov. ;i. The Ucverend
Mnra-.uet ltrcnnan. pastor of the Univer
sallst Church here, has made a report of
the recent Onpral Vniverslst Convention
In Washington, which she attended and
which was entertained bv President
Itoosevelt. and concluded with ,i sharp
lonunent on the apeing or the customs of
th" rojal courts of TOnopn, which, she
s.ild. is now In vogue hi the While House.
"The royal airs," she s-iid. "were not
tolerated bj, our former Presidents. The
President now erases th names or guests
with whom be does not wish to dine. This
is the custom of Kings and rimperors, but
it Is sadlv out of place, as well as unwiss
and unsafe, for the cluf executive of this
Republic. Simplicity In republican In
stitutions Is essential and any departure
from this is viewed with apprehension.
"The servants of the people, whether
the highest official or the Jowest, are still
onlv the servants of the people, and it Is
truly said that he who would he greatest
among you must be the servant of all.
Any development on the lines of courtly
ceremonials Is dangerous. History teaches
us what has wrecked Republics of the
past. Courtly ceremony, though innocent
at first, may become pride, power, des
potism." Miss Brennan came to Victor from a
pastorate in Muncle. Ind., a year ago. She
is an impressive speaker, and her church
is crowded at every service. She has
traveled extensively and was present at
the coronation of King Edward and a
guest of President Cleveland at tha White

"William 1-ennov, an engineer, w-as killed
in the coll ipse of a building at No. 215
South Second street Uto jesterday after
noon. A portion of the building is occupied by
the Union Sirup nnd Preserving ConiJii,
and tho president of the concern. Joseph
Schoen of No. 5113 Kids avenue, together
with Albert Schoen, a. clerk, was nleo
hurt.
The condition of Jacob Schoen Is
ferious, with the chances of recovery
against him because of the injuries
to his back and his advanced age. Allwrt
Schoen. it is thought, will recover.
Whether the collupae of the building was
caused by the placing of heavy boxes and
barrels on the fourth floor, or by an explo
sion of the boiler In the basement. Is a
question of dispute.
The crasli caused a panic in the sirup
plant and tho currounding building". Hun
dreds of persons rushed to the place, at
tracted by the noise, and all stood watch
Ing., wondering how the Imprisoned men
wero to be rescued.
The question was solved by John Lng

of the vv recked building lie ran to the lire

The groins of Schoen and his son could
be hcaid when the fire company arrived
and the woik of rescuing them was lieguu.
Soon after It was learned that the en
gineer was in the ba-ement. A hook nnd
ladder truck company was called out and
Us members rescued Lennox.
The Sclioens at the time of the acci
dent were In the ulllce, which was tho
second floor front loom. It was a few
minutes after 5 o'clock, and they were
preparing to leave the establishment.

As he stood on the pavement just in

the upper floors attracted his attention
and he inn to the middle of the street.
He saw the whole interior of tile front
part of the building fall and was himself
narrowly missed liy living bricks.
The deep basement was filled and the
timbers and bricks were piled ten feet
above the level of the street. The Schocns
had fallen frum the second floor with the

WOMEN RESCUED
PROM WRECKED BUILDING.
Vlillo the men wero being lescued from
the front of the building, a crowd of men
at tho back vcr Jiusy taking the work
ing force of three men and four women
from tho building.
Tho rear was not affected by tho col
lapse, but the gicat noiso frightened
those working theie, and only the shouts
of the b slanders prevented their spilng
Ing from the third and fourth storv win
dows. Eaddeis wero secured und women
and then thn men were rescued.
The building which was wrecked was
an old one. l'or many jears it was owned
by the Buschcs. and was built for a wine
depot. Under It are three deep wine cel
lars, which it is thought may have weak
ened tho foundations. The first crash
heard b Anderson came fiom the fourth
floor, where many barrels of snip and
pi f selves were stun d.
Jacob Schoen, who late hist night, was
ahle to talk of the accident, said tint it
was undoubtedly n collapse caused by thj
breaking through of the Hours, upon which
tho heavy goods weie stored.
A short time after the ciowd gatheicd
a. small flame was seen In the building.
It was soon extinguished, and the police
think it was caused bj coals fllng from
the furnace. It is their theory that the
coals wre scattered by an explosion of
the boiler.
Ernest Schoen, a son of Jaiob Schoen,
visited the building an hour after the ac
cident. He salii that the lo-s was partly
covered by iiiMiiance.

South Missouri Procedure Dis
tinct From the Prosecutions at
Jefferson City and the
'nse in St. Louis.
mu'cm.ii- M'KciAi.
Salem, Mo . Nov. 'H The local bribery
cases against Senator Frank H. Karris,
Senator J. B. Harrison, J. W. Callahan
and Taylor Lnox acre dismissed at tho
.special term of the Dent County Circuit
Court to-day.
Judge J. T. Neville of Springfield, Mo.,
who was called In to preside over the
court when Judge Is B. Woodslde was
dlsquilllled, sustained a motion to quush
tho cases on the ground that the statutes
covering bribery nt elections did not apply
to primary elections.
This ends the cases, to that there will he
no further prosecutions. These case", how
ever, have no relation lo the cases at Jef
ferson City.
According to this decision, a man may
do all tha bribing he pleases, may buy all
the votes he deshes at a primary election,
and he will not be amenable to the. law,
since it is no violation of any statute.
The indictment against Senator Farris
charged that he gave $.7X1 to J. W. Calla
han to Induce Callahan to come out as a
candidate from Dent County for the Dem
ocratic nomination for State Senator from
the Twenty-fourth District. The object, as
charged In the Indictment, was- to control
the Dent County'delegatlon In place of J.
E. Organ, to whom tho county seemed to
lean. Callahan, it was set forth, was
then to turn the delegation over to Farris
m the convention and thus Insure the lat
ter's nomination.
The indictment against Callahan charged
him with accepting a bribe of SMO to assist
Farris in capturing the Democratic nom
ination for Senator.
The bills against Tailor Lenox and Sen
ator Harrison charged them with bribing
voters at the congressional primary held
in Dent County, April 7, 1M2.
Refore a JurV was selected in any of
the cases, I.. F. Parker, attorney for the
defendants, filed the motion before 'Judge
Neville ietting forth that the statutes
did not cover bribery at primary elections
and the com t sustained the motion.
The defendants claim, however, that had
the court upheld the indictments they
would have been acquitted, as they claim
that the State could not have made lt
cae in any Instance.

The objection was ovet ruled.
Despite numerous objections on the p.u t

charged Jointly with Thomis B. Barrett,
former Clerk of the St. Ixmis Court of
Appeals, with conspiring to furnish aliens
tho rights of Amerlc-in citizenship,' the
Governor's secretary and confidential man
was forced to stand trial after Judge El
mer B. Adams had delivered a lengthy de
cision overruling all objections of the de
fendant counsel
Despite the rulings of the court, how
ever. Judge Chester II. Krum persisted
in his objections. That many points were
well taken was evidenced from the con
sideration glvon them by Judge Adams,
and this persistency elicited the promise
on the part of the court that, although
the testimony of witnesses presented by
the prosecution should lie allowed at pres

(Judge Adamsi would consider the evi

was not In session.
Gilllck, It Is claimed, upbraided Morrow
for not having the court open, whereup
on, it Is also claimed, another man pres

prove was Barrett, asked for the names

The names were suhsequcntly procured,
it is claimed, and handtd to .Morrow, who,
it is alleged, handed them to some one
else, and In that manner they are sup
posed to have gotten into the hands ot a
person who forged the inpcrs.
POUND COURT
WAS NOT OPEN.
Ludwig Sailer, the first witness called
esterday. stated that he lived in St.
Louis County. He testified that he went
to the Court of Appeals in October. lStX).
The court wa- not open, and he called at
tho home of Gilllck. No. WW South Broad
way, and there gave up his first papers.
In a few- days he received another pa
per, which was delivered nt his house.
Judge Krum, at this- juncture, raised an
objection, claiming there was nothing to
show that the transaction had any con
nection with the recital of the witness.
He claimed that Gilllck was not on trial,
but Judge Adams declared that he was
mentioned as a consrhator and overruled
the objection.
Joseph Pchlltter, who mas yith Sailer,
substantiated the hitter's testimony.
Bchlltter testified that his tif-cond papers
were delivered at his house by Henry
ischerrer.
Cross-examinations of witnesses were of
a perfunctory nature. Attorney Lehmann
asked each If he had known Morrow or

EMPLOYERS ADD
TO THEIR ALLIANCE
About liOO Join New Orjjaiiizatioii
"Which Excludes Members
of Labor Unions.
At an overflow meeting last night In tha
Odd Fellows' building 200 men joined the
Citizens Alliance, the new organization of
persons who do not belong to "any labor
organization which resorts to boycottlnt?
or anv form of coercion, or unlawful forcti
and w ho fnllv agrees to discountenance alt
strikes and schemes of persecutions."
Another meeting to be held Friday
nUht at a place to be announced later nnd
which will accommodate at least 1,009 wa't
announced by the sentinel at the door ot
the rooms in which the meeting was held.
The greatei-t secrecy prevailed through
out tho meeting, which lasted from 3
o'clock until close on to 11. Two men wm
stationed at the door, nnd unless a person
had one ot the invitations, which had been
sent out or was personally known, lie wais
refused admittance.
J. West Goodwin, editor of the Scdallj
Bazoo, wno Is the father of tho move
ment, was the principal speaker of th
evening. When the meeting adjourned
rruny prominent business men were no
ticed among those present.
Members ot the new organization stafc!
after the meeting that the object of tlin
association of tho employers of labor wai
for self-protection, and secondarily, that
they are after the walking delegmtc.
When asked If union men could Join, ona
of the members stated that a union man
could not take the pledge prescribed la
tho printed blanks- because the one ho
took when joining the union conflicted
with it.
It was said that the !. mark in mem
bership would be reached without muclj
effort If the enthusiasm displayed last
night could be taken as a criterion, of
how anxious emplocrs are for an organ
ization with the ends Intended Ux r:
present one.

several days ago, has returned to the City
of Mexico to Join ills family, who rcsido
there.
Mr. Moore, while In St. Louis on busi
ness, was a guest at tho Planters Hotel,
nnd for two days absented himself on a
personal mission. Friends who believed
that harm had ccme to him asked the aid

Moore had not been found again gained
currency, but was groundless.
