BONNELL VINDICATED.
Charges Against His Conduct of the Collector's Office the Work of Political Enemies— kiis Unusual Record
Noted by Inspector Bcrgh.
The IndianaDolis Sentinel Wednesday infr gave prominence to a series of sen sational charges against the conduct of John It. Bunnell as collector uf internal revenue at Terre Haute, but it took only a few minutes to developo the fact that these charges were the work of political enemies and that they had been exploded several days ago.
The Sentinel eays: "Charges of a sensational and serious nature have been made at Washington with the United States civil service commission against John It. Bonnell, revenue collector for this district. "These charges involve malfeasance In office, pernicious political activity and political discrimination against certain storekeepers and gaugers. Other charges were made verbally to Special Examiner J. W. Covoll, of the United States civil service commission, who recently visited Terre Haute to make an investigation. They were liled\ March 1 and it is announced that the case will receive thorough attention. The charges against Bonnell are practically the same that caused the removal of Collector Sapp at Louisville. 'Since Mr. Bonnell came to Terre Haute from Crawfordsville it is said that he spent much of his time in traveling over the district on political mis

sions, strengthening machine. One of the allegations states 'that, as disbursing officer, as well as internal revenue collector, the said Bonnell has padded his pay-roll and „as paid men for political work they have done for him the same as if they had been at work at their official duties, and that upon one occasion one Henry Cromwell, a storekeeper at Terre Haute, a factional supporter of Bonnell, was piid his salary for two or three weeks spent in the west searching for a relative." The eighth charge says that Bonnell's holding of the revenue collectorship of the Terre Haute district is a farce and that he knows absolutely nothing of what is going on as to the workings of the ollioe, as factional politics take up nearly all of his time. "It is stated that Special Examiner
the Beveridge
Covell found at Terre Haute that Bonnell had laid off four gaugers, Charles Hunt, J. H. Kolton, Daniel Lynch and Thomas Bledsoe, and two storekeepers, Charles Weidei and Joseph Watson, all of them being Democrats. All of the Republicans were found to be working, although some were only 'probationary commission' men, while the six men laid off are old and experienced employes.":
Bonnell's Denial.
Special to the Journal: Terre Haute April 2d—The Sentinel article is based on an article in the Terre Ilaute Gazette which is answered
in this morning's Express. It is not believed that any charges have been filed at Washington. The Gazelle article Is regarded as a fake and Bonnell vigorously denies the whole thing.
While in Crawfordsville last week Mi Bonnell spoke to several of his friends about the affair which at that time had not been given publicity in the papers. He said that the oharges had been investigated by a representa-

tive of tho civil service commission who had personally exonerated him and complimented him on the conduct of the i.flice.
The Nxprets Wednesday says: 'Tii regard to the Gazette's reckless oharpo against Mr. Bonnell of "malfeasance in office,'' and neglect of duty, it can be be said that the record of the Terre Haute ollioe stands very high at Washington, higher than it has for a number of years. "Colonel Berph a revenue inspector, visited Terre Haute- February 5th to 7th to inspect the evenuo ollica. lie gave tho cilice the rating of 'No. 1.' and Colonel Bcrgh said this was tho first time he ever had been able to give this ollioe 'No. 1 rating.' The collector, Bonnell, has been iu charge of the ollioe since November 18t,h. "Five days before Colonel Bergh examined the cilice, Mr. Maginnis, of the Washington de partment, had been here to check up the cilice, when it was transferred from Mr. Bonnell, as tem-
porary incumbent, to himself, as col lector. He also found the ofliee in ex-
cellont shape, and complimented Mr. Bonnell on its satisfactory condition. "Mr. Ronnell was in charge of the Crawfordsville postolli^e, which is under civil service rules, for eight years, and is thoroughly posted as to the requirements and liabilities of the civil service system. After his appointment as collector ho went to
Washington to be instructed by the department on all points relating to the appointments in his office and district,
aa(
knows his official duty, rights and
powers thoroughly. "In regard to the Gazette's assertion hit the civil sar vice rules are violated in the case of Charles Woidel, a veteran of the Union army, the Gazette distorts the rules in saying that the soldier shail be given preference in work. He shall be given preference in appointment over another man, but afier appointment he is on a level with other appointees. '•There is a direct falsehood in the statement that John II. Bonnell has 'padded rolls' in the case of Cromwell or any other. Cromwell was the man who spent ssve^al weeks in looking after his brother who became insane and was lost. On obtaining leave of absence he promised to provide for his work being done during his absence by others. It was so done and the work was paid for. Examiner Covell examined this account and when he found that only one man's pay had been paid for the work he pushed the account as correct. "The statement by tho Gazttte that its case against Mr. Bonnell is prac-. tioally the same as that which caused the removal of the Louisville collector,
Sapp, is one of tho proofs that the article was written in the Gazette office as no correspondent in touch with the department at Washington would best) ignorant as to make such a statement. Tha charge against Sapp was making assessments for political purposes. No charges of that kind caa be made against Bonnell."
There has been no violations of the law by Mr. Bonnell in laying off certain guagers. This was made necessary from the fact one distillery in the district has closed down, and in that case it becomes the duty of the collector to reduce the force of guagers and he has authority to select whomsoever ho chooses without regard to politics.
The friends of Mr. Bonnell in Crawfordsville without regard to party indignantly spurn the idea that he has been anything but upright and honorable in the conduct of his iffiee.
No Charges at
Washington.
Special to tho Journal Washington, D.
O., April 2.—In
quiry at the flice of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue and also at the ollice of the Civil Service Commission reveals the fact that no charges have
been uled against John Bonnell.
Won't Work on Sunday.
leu section hands employed on the Vandalia road, north of Flora, were discharged Monday for refusirg to work Sunaay. The Vandalia officials called the men out to perform some extra work, which was necef-sary to the safety of trains, but they refused to go, stating that they did not believe any road could continue to prosper which forced its men to work on Sunday, or run Sunday trains. Recently a number of the section men were converted at a revival meeting and resolved to strictly adhere to the teachings of the scriptures.
