Although Postmaster Gene Payne re- mained in his apartment esterday, ow- ing to indisposition, he atiended the Cabinet meeting to-day and also dis- | cussed at length with the President the latest developments in the postal scandal.

In the Postoffice Department the offi- cials are trying to convey the impression that the s dal ha been smoothed down and that the blackest clouds ar now past.

Indeed, it is declared Russia would be glad to do anything possible to relieve the tension in the United States, but feels unable to sacrifice a principle which it has fol- lowed hitherto and the American sup- port of which it has warmly indorsed. The Russian Government readily ad- mits the sincerity of the American Gov- ernment’s decision and declines to listen to reports that the forwarding of the peti- tion has any ulterior significance or is any way assoclated with any other mat- | ters. | —————— | Flag Incident to Be Aired in Court. | SAN JOSE, June 26.—Warrants were issued this afternoon for the arrest of two of the members of Company B, Fifth Regiment, N.

H. Smith, and thus the matters open to | question are ' reduced Ao the appointments | which, all told, involve thirteen clerks and seven cleaners. Even this is not an irreducible | minimum, for several of these appointments, a= shown in the explanatory statement, were perfectly right.and beyond any question. More than one-half of the inspector’s report is taken up with a minute and detailed statement of the mith. Of the latter I had no knowledge and say nothing. Of the former I have some recollection, as it was the only one of the cases that was appealed to me. Larner had been appointed a military postal clerk for Porto Rico by the First Assistant's | bureau. He went under a promise from that | bureau of compensation at the rate of $1400 | a year. At about that time I fixed the general | compensation of clerks in Porto Rico, as I| was empowered to do by law, at $1200 a year. When Larner returned he refused to settle his unsettled account on that basis and appealed | to me. He Insisted that he had been promised $1400, and 1 found on inquiry that this was true. I ordered that he should be paid what he had been promised, as 1 had a right to do. Out of that question of rate and out of the question of the actual length of his service | {irew the whole story of alleged irregularity, Which takes up ohe-quarter of the inspector's report, except as it involves i few items of his expense account. One of the questions at {ssue in the latter was the question whether in the Special Porto Rican service “Seldlitz powders, Piie. pennyroyal and calomel’ should be treat- £4 as'a personal expense or as chargeable to the Government. When the charges of irregularity were made my duty was plain. It was to have them ex- amined and, if there were irregularities, to have them corrected. This was exactly what Was dope. The explanations were reported as they appear In exhibit C, and to me most of them seemed satisfactory. I was the more as- sured In this judgment from the fact that the Comptroller of the Treasury, who made a searching investigation at the time and thor- oughly examined all the vouchers, allowed all SHERIFF WHITE allILL RETIGENT Will Not Discuss Latest Phase of the Mills Murder Case. 1.OS ANGELES, June 26.—There were no new developments to-day in connec- tlon with the arrest of R.

I shall go to Sacramento and lay the matter before the Governor. 1 shall ask for extradition papers on the charge of felony embezzlement. Mrs. B. L.

That was the case of a most esti- mable newspaper woman, long a successful Washingten correspondent, whom I had known for twenty-five years, and who, through mis- fortune, was.in much distress. Knowing been a brute if 1 failed to do so. As she was on the roll of eligibles, she could not be made a clerk and I requested that a place should be found for her on the roll of laborers. Months afterward I learned, to my surprise, that she Was enrolled as a cleaner, and, though a refined Jady of education, had conscientiously been do- work. Immediately I sought That Was absolutely the only case of all involved in v personal part. 1If anybods thinks the Postmaster General should know the number of cleaners and whether they were all at work, I have nothing to say. General Bristow Is entirely right in saying that he spoke to me at the time about the - ctor's report. His statement would have aplete if he had added what I stated in etter of May 27, as follows: About the same time Fourth Assistant Post- naster General Bristow informed me that in- spectors had found the same apparent or actual regularities in the Washington office. I ad- vised him, accorditg to my recollection, of the investigation which the Comptroller of the Treas- ury had made, and of the steps which were be- ing taken to rectify any wrong."

We had nothing to guide us. We had to make our own plans. The formation of the general plan and policy devolved on the Postmaster General. The execution of the de- tails devolved on the First Assistant’'s bureau. We had at first no special appropriation and so had to meet the requirements out of the regular appropriation. Afterward, when the special appropriation became available we had to recoup the general appropriation in order that the regular service might not suffer. These things were effected in part through the Wash. ington officials, and orders were given which subordinate officials neither did nor were re- quired to understand, and out of it has grown a vast.deal of unnecessary misunderstanding.

Claim That Mrs. Ross and Her Son-in-Law Planned to Get Ross Estate. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, June 26.—The trial of the Makin-Worn suit was resumed to- day before Superior Judge Lawlor of San Francisco, sitting in Judge Lennon's court. The efforts of the attorneys for the plaintiff, Robert Ross Makin, were directed toward showing that a con- spiracy existed between Mrs. Anna S. E. Worn and her son-in-law, D. E. Perry, to defraud Makin out of a fortune left | by his grandmother, Mrs. Anna Ross. The estate left by Mrs. Ross is valued at $35,000. The plaintiff, through his guardian, Wil- liam McCann, sued Mrs. Worn, his aunt, to secure an order of court setting aside certain deeds of gift to the property of the estate and also to secure a distribu- tion of the estate. Mrs. Worn claims that the deed of gift was given to her a short time before the death of Mrs. Ross. The plaintiff now claims that Mrs. to obtain the deed. that Mrs. Ross was a sufferer from can- cer and was constantly under the influ- ence of drugs given to allay pain, and | | | that during her imbecility she signed the | instrument at the solicitation of Mrs. Worn and her son-in-law, D.

This will was never pro- | duced. Miss Grace Worn proved an adverse witness for the plaintiff. She testified that she was a member of the firm_of | Misses Worn, florists at 18 Post street, San Francisco. She admitted that she | had copled the gift deeds on a typwriter | and that the copy had been furnished her | by D. E.

AR Police Are Advised That Arrests of Persons Who Assisted in Negre Burning Will Precipitate Serious Disorder. i G WILMINGTON, Del., June 26.—The dan- ger of further lawlessness as a result of the lynching of George F. White for the murder of Helen Bishop and the arrest of a man on the charge of complicity in the lynching has not yet passed. While there | is no visible evidence that an outbreak will occur, there is a feeling of uneasiness among the police authorities which has caused them to take extreme measures of a precautionary character to nip in the bud any further attempts of the whites to wage war on the blacks or of the latter | | to retaliate. | Late this afternoon every saloon-keeper | | wid in the city was ordered to suspend busi- | ness until to-morrow. In addition to this, all other public places, such as billiard. pool and bowling alleys and the public library, were requested to close to-night. This was generally done. In line with the police precaution, Mayor Fisher to- night issued a statement requesting pa- rents to keep their boys off the streets at | night. 2 Though the streets in the central por- tion of the city late to-night were filled with pedestrians, everything was quiet. The police are preventing the congrega- tion of crowds by keeping every one mov- ing. The lawless element among the col- | ored people is largely blamed for the dis- order of the last two nights. It is said that in certain parts of the town they marched through the streets and roughly handled any white person who dared stand in thelr way. On the other hand, the whites are not held entirely blameless. No arrests were made to-day in direct connection with the lynching and the po- lice give no intimation that they contem- | plate making any such arrests. It is | known that certain prominent citizens have suggested to the police that further arrests for the burning of White would be inadvisable, in view of the excitement and disorder caused by the arrest of Arthur Cornell of Indiana in connection with the lynching. Cornell was released from custody to- day after a lengthy hearing before Mag- istrate Hollis for want of evidence. War- den Meserve of the New Castle County workhouse, Chief of Police Black and State Detective Francis testified that they saw Cornell in the front ranks of the mob. In epposition to this members of a fraternal order of which Cornell is a member testified that Cornell was at a carnival and that he did not get back to Wilmington until after midnight. Willlam Kramer, the colored man who was shot last night, died to-night. Kra- mer was shot by Willlam Symms, a man of his own color. The two men got into | an, argument in a restaurant over the Iynching of White. Symms was given a hearing to-day and was held without bail | to await the action of the Coroner. Detalls from four companies of the Del- aware National Guard are on duty to- night in the armory in this city by order of Governor Hunn. It was reported that the detail was summoned in order to pre- pare for the bringing out of the entire regiment in case of trouble. This was denied, however, by one of the guard of- fice! who said the solulers were on duty for the sole purpose of protecting the arms and ammunition in the building. —_——————— Special Rate to Willits for the Fourth of July Holidays.
