Fisher, the present Postmaster at | Hastings, Neb., resumed his statement to-day before the special Senate com- | mittee appointed to! investigate the | charges against Senator Dietrich. Sen- ator Spconer attended the meeting to- day, but Senator Cockrell was absent. Fisher said that at the time he was appointed Postmaster his relations with Hahn had been rather unfriendly; that previous to that time Hahn made daily visits to his (Fisher's) place of business, but that these visits stopped when he received the news of his ap- pointment. He did not recall any visit by ‘Hahn on April 23, and he was sure that under the circumstances he would not have asked Hahn what he thought of his (Fisher's) appointment as Post- master as his (Hahn's) successor, as Hahn had testified. “That statement I absolutely deny,” said the witness. Fisher also said that he had not asked Hahn what the office paid, and flatly contradicted Hahn's statement that he had asked Hahn to consult a lawyer for him to ascertain whether he would have to pay a note he might give to Dietrich to secure the appointment. “I never asked Hahn,” he said, “and no note was given Edwin E. Francis, deputy Postmaster at Hastings under Fisher, was the next witn, Replying to questions by Platt, he said that he had agreed to pay half the rental of a back room of the Dietrich building and had done so for five thonths, the total being $41. The arrangement was that he would have half of any proceeds derived from the room. They had made an effort to rent the room to the Western Union Telegraph Company, but had failed. He said these arrangements, on ac- count of the room, had nothing to do with his salary. He contradicted the statement of Hahn that he had as- sented to a statement that he (Francis) had had to pay $100 to Dietrich or that he had told Hahn that Fisher had paid $200 to Dietrich. INTIMIDATES WITNESS. Francis testified that he had had a conversation with District Attorney Summers relative to testifying before the Grand Jury in the case of Diet- rich. ~ Batty then asked for the par- ticulars of that conversation, but be- fore he could reply Senator Hoar in- terposed an inquiry as to the purpose of the examination. “We want,” Batty replied, “to show the pressure that the District Attorney puts upon witnesses in these - cases; that he told the witness that if he did not testify he was himself liable to prosecution and imprisonment.” Senator Hoar suggested that such a line of inquiry would broaden the in- quiry to an undesirable extent, and after conversation with Senator Diet- ch the attorney temporarily with- drew the question. Hardy Gregory, a postoffice inspec- tor, testified to conversations he said he had had last December with Fisher and Francis relative to moneys paid to Dietrich on account of the back room partitioned off from the post- office. Fisher’s statement, he said, was that the original lease was to be knocked in the head because of the reduction of the rent from $1800 to $1500; that Dietrich said he (Fisher) and the citi- zens of the place should take the fix- tures of the Grand Army of the Re- public post off his hands, but that | Fisher had said he would not ask the people but would do so himself. After this Dietrich had told Fisher that when he went to Washington he would recommend Fisher's appointment as | postmaster, although it was under- | stood the appointment was in no way y dependent upon the payment for the | furniture. TELLS ABOUT RENTAL. Gregory also said that Fisher and Francis told him about the rental of the back room, but their statements as related by Gregory did not differ materially from their statements to the committtee. He said that Fran- | cis had told him that Fisher, in re- turning the rent money for the room, had said that Dietrich had refunded | the money, saying that there had been some comment about the transaction and he did not want to continue the arrangement, These conversations, Gregory said, had occurred at Omaha at the time the Grand Jury investiga- tion into the Dietrich cage was in progress. Senator Dietrich elicited statements from the witness that a voucher which he carried to Hastings was for pay- | ment of certain fixtures and also for | they payment of the transfer of the Postoffice. The bids for the removal came through the former postmaster, Hahn. Dietrich endeavored to bring out from the witness that if there was any extortionate price attached to the removal of the office, it was regular, having had the sanction of the Postoffice Department. Senator Beveridge suggested that this was wholly a matter with the Postoffice Department and ruled that the mat- ter was not germane. William M. Dutton of Hastings re- lated how the arrangement with the G. A. R. post had been made, by which it was agreed that Dietrich should pay the post- $500 for the fixtures. The contract was entered into before | Dietrich’s election as Senator. DEAL IN FURNITURE. Dietrich had told him that he intend- ed to recommend Fisher as Postmaster, it being generally understood that his recommendation would be accepted. The witness closed the deal between Dietrich and the G. A. R. post regard- ing the fixtures and furniture for $500. He then told of a conversation had with Senator Dietrich regarding the renting of his building for postoffice purposes, the Senator insisting that he could not get rent enough for his building from the Government. The Senator at that time told Dutton that he thought Fish- er should take the fixtures off his hands, but denied that he was commis- sioned to make any propsition to Fisher and said there was no money consid- eration mentioned for the fixtures. “Dietrich told me he would recom- mend Fisher for Postmaster a week after his election,” -said Dutton. Charles Emory Smith, the Postmas- ter General, while in Hastings in the autumn of 1900 had recommended that the postoffice be changed and better | quarters secured. John Slaker, cashier of the German National Bank of Hastings and a brothep-in-law of Senator Dietrich, tes- POSTMASTER FISHER TESTIFIES: -~ [STEAMER COES BEFORE SENATORIAL COMMITTEE :‘Flatly Contradicts the Story Told by His Prede- cessor in Office Relative to the Payment of ~ Money to Secure Appointment in Postal Service | 10 THE BOTTOM Vessel Whistling and Flying| Distress Signals Is Sight- ed Off Whidby Island LATER IT DISAPPEARS i Tug Sent to the Scene of the Disaster Is Unable to Find | Any Trace of the Craft | ———— | PORT TOWNSEND, March 12.—-A] tified regarding the transfer of the fix- | report from Fort Casey, received here | tures and about the property being in|py wireless telegraph, states that a | the name of Miss Dietrich.

DENTISTS NOT CALLED DOCTORS 'IN "GERMANY Three American Practitioners Raise an Issue Which Is Decided in Court. ', « BERLIN, March _12.-4The - highest court of appeal in the German empire has been busy with the case of three American dentists, resident in Dresden, who were indicted for using the title “Dr Dent. Surg” or “Dr. Chir. Dent.” after their names on their door plates. The German dentists in Dresden con- tended that the appearance of the title “Dr.” conveyed a false impression. Dr. Hendrick and his two American colleagues proved that they got their degree from a school of American dental surgery. But the court held that the Americans are not entitled to the use of the title ““doctor”; that their use of it would be deceptive, and that if they persist in using it they must be punished. i R WASHINGTON, March 12.—By direction of the President the new military post under construction at Haines, Alaska, will be known as Fort Willlam H. Seward, in memory of the services of the Secretary of State in negotlat- ing the purchase of Alaska. . e — ADVERTISEMENTS. PERMANENCE OF CURE. The Chief Merit. Many so called pile remedies will afford the user slight, tempor- ary relief, and the majority of sufferers do not expect more than this. Women especially, af- ter having tried every preparation recommended for the cure of Piles, have come to the conclusion that there is no cure except by an operation. This is rightfully viewed with dread, be- cause of the shock to the delicate ner- vous system of women, and many of those afflicted have resigned them- selves to the situation with never a thought that there fs any help in sight for them. We invite the attention of all such to the experience of the lady whose ad- dress is given below: “I feel it my duty to recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure, for, after suffering ten vears with a most distressing form of Piles, ’ am entirely cured; thanks to this remedy. Any one doubting this can write to Margaret Brady, 156 Whit- man street, Cleveland, Ohio." Ten months Aater she writes: “I am glad to say that I am still perfectly free from Piles, and have not had the slightest trouble since I first used your remedy. I am well known in Cleveland, and have a. ortised Pyra:m!1 Pile Cure extensively here, I take pleasure in doing so, as it saved me from an opera- tion which I always dreaded, and you are assured the remedy can have no firmer advocate than 1.” Te~''mo:.; like this should convince the most skeptical that Pyramid Pile Cure not only cures, but cures to stay cured. It is n the form of a sup- positery; can be applied in the privacy of the home, directly to the parts af- fected, and does its work quickly and painlessly. Druggists sell this famous remedy for Ity cents . package, and we urge all sufferers fo buy a package now and g e it a trial to-night, Accept no sub- stitutes.
