The following message from President Roosevelt, recelved this afternoon, was read: OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Sept. 16.—The pa sage of the national Irrigation law wi one of the greatest steps, not only in t forward progr of the states, but to of mankind. It was the beginning of a achievement so great that we hesitate to redict the outcome, but it was only the ginning. Now that the law an accom- plished fact, that law must be given effect.

Vast though the benefits of the reclamation law. there will be many disappointment, which necessarily await both the advocate of speclal projects and the men whose desire for accomplished rosults outruns the slow and steady de- velopment of these great undertakings. Each Polat Must Be Studied, 1t should be borne In mind that a broad survey of all possible projects gives the conception of their relative value, and that a_work of prime importance to one group of ‘men may “heem less desirable If the light of wider knowledge.

Beavers, the former chlef of the salaries and allow- ances division of the general postoffice department, under the indictments re- turned against him by the federal grand Jury of Brooklyn, eharging him with con- spiracy to defraud the government through coriplicity With the Brandt-Bent Minu- facturing company of Watertown, Wi was commenced today before United States Commissioner Hitcheook. The defendant was represented by his counsel, Messrs. Morgan and Seabury, who were reinforced by a third lawyer, Max Stauer, who conductdd the examination The defendant, looking worrled, though he attempted to appear at ease, sat behind his counsel, The government's side of the case was looked after by Assistant United States Attorney Wise. General Henry T. Burnett, the United States district attorney was aiso preseiit, but took little part in the examina- tion. Moves to Dismiss Proceedings. At the beginning of the examination Mr. Btauer moved to dismiss the procesdings on the ground that the facts as alleged in the complaint were insufficient and that no proof had been presented for the com- missioner’s consideration in support of the indictment and complaint, as required by law MP. Stauer read a number of decistons supporting his contention. Lawyer Stauer attacked the indictment as drawn by United States District Attor- ney Youngs of Brooklyn, as faulty, and e questioned the validity of the warrant fis- sued under it The defense and prosecution moved to submit memorandum on the point raised, glving the declisions in support of each of their éontentions, and the commissioner then adjourned the examinations untll Sep- teniber 18, at which time he will give a decision on the point at lssue. On request of the counsel the arraignment of McGiehan and Huntington was ad- Journed unq:.september 2. McGiehan Offers Exp tho Isaac 8. McGiehan, the head of the Co- lumbia Supply company, of which George H. Huntington is treasurer, made & state- ment today in explanation of his cohnection with August W. Machen. The indictment charged conspiracy to defraud the goveérn- ment through the sale of the large metal boxes or mailing packages. Mr. McGlehan stated that the Columbla Supply company secured the contract to furnish the package boxes through a com- petitive bld during the administration of Postmaster General Wanamaker, the box then used being so constructed that It sat close to the ground and was open to com- plaint on that score. About this time, Mr. MoGlehan stated, the Columbia Supply company secured from a Mr. Lesier of Cloveland the right to use an improves ment, designed by him to overcome this objection, upon the payment of 50 cents for each box. The improvement of Mr. Lozler, as explained by Mr. McGlehan, szemed to be ‘a box constructed with higher legs. Mr: McGiehan explatmed that the . Lozier device had not begy patented. B Machen's Oficfnl Positl When the original bid was put in, and when. the Columbla Supply company comi- menced to furnish its goods to the depart- ment, he said, Mr. Machen was not an officlal of the postal system. The 50 cents per box royalty whs paid to Mr. Lozer. About two years after the expiration of the original contract, and after the Columbla company had been for some time furnish- ing the boxes with the Lozier improvs ment, Mr. McGlehan sald that the Cleve- land Inventor called upon him and stated he was able to go te Europe for a couple of years and requested the company to pay his royalties to Mr. Machen, who was, he explained, Intereated with him lg outside matters and who would send the money to his wife, During the continuance of the Logler contract, Mr. McGichan says, the royalty was paid as requested, but that that was all the connection his company ever had with Mr. Machen. The contract was secured long before Mir. Machen be- came an officlai of the department. After the Lozler contract ended the Columbia company furnished a box of its own, with- out the Lozler device, Mr. McGiehan sald he made a statement to the postoffice Inspectors in the form of an afdavit, In which he explained care- fully his exact relations with Mi. Machen. This statement, Mr. McGiehan sald, he un- derstood was submitted to the federal grand jury in Washington, which returned ART OF REST. May Be Acquired and Used With Great Beaefit, Complete and restful poise of the body and mind is an art not eauly gained. Perhaps nothing brings one as much content, comfort, happiness and pleasure as those conditions of easy, restful re: sourceful and well balanced mind and body, that make of work a pleasure and the daily life happy and peaceful. The nervous housewife busy with a hun- dred duties and harassed by children, the business man, worried with the press of dally affairs, debts, etc., annot enjoy the peace and restful repose and healthtul, nervous balance unless they know how. There is & way. First and foremost the stomach must be consulted. That means leaving off coffee absclutely, for the tem- porary stimulant and the resulting depres- gion I8 a sure rula to the nervous system, and the whole condition of ‘health and hap- piness vests upon stomach, nerves and mind Start with the stomach, that Is the key- stone to the whole arch.

These are pure food elements ably selected by experts for the purpose of supplying just the thing re- quired by nature to perform this rebullding. These are solid substantial facts and can be preven dlearly to the satisfaction of anyone by personal experience. Try the ehange yourself and note how the old con- dition of shattered nerves and worried mind changes to that feeling of restful poise of & well balanced mervous system.

Mmself and Mr. WABHINGTON, Sept. 16.—In accordance with & decision of Acting Attorney General Hoyt declaring that the subpoena served on the postmasfer general yesterday to appear at the hearing in New York today tor the case of George W. Beavers, the former head of the salary and allowance division of the Postoffice department, was vold. The postmaster general has desig- nated Postoffice Inspector Lawrence Leth- ¢rman as his representative at the hear- ing. The opinton of Mr. Hoyt follows. My sdvicq to the postinastes general fs. that while I 8o not think, on fundamental wllnfll. under all the circumstances of the case the linited States commissioner had any warrant in law fof issuing this writ to seryed outside of his district. On the whole, 1 belleve the proper course for the postmaster general to pursue is to send a_ trusted employe of the department to New York to represent him in the matter, to appear before the commissioner tomor- row I'lml’l\ll\fll at the appointed hour, In company with the United States attorney and to state formally to the commissioner (1t ealled upon) on béhalf of the postmaster general that the postmaster general declines fo produce any government records and documents called for whatsoever. Postmaster General Payne sald today that it was a physical tmpossibility to comply with the subpoena, In any event, aside from the law In the case. The subpoena, he pointed out, called for papers, documents and records covering years of operation of the department to be produced before the United States commissioner. These papers are in constant use In con- nection with tha investigation of the postal service and are scattered throughout the country in the hands of the Inspectors. Charles H. Robb, the assistant attorney general, has decided to continue perma- nently in. that office instead of returning to his former position in the Department of Justice at the completion of the postoffice investigation. Postmaster General Payne today admitted that the resignation of George A. C. Chris- tiancy, the former law clerk of the depart- ment, was submitted some weeks ago, but that action upon it had been deferred pend- ing the investigation of the affairs of that office.
