The bill alleges that Albert M. Johnson, Eugene M. Pmsslng, Edward Shedd and others entered Into a conspiracy to defraud him out of 9,010 shares of the capital stock of the National Life Insurance Company.

s II MU.F.I) TOO ll CH FOR C ASH II KG I ST ER MACHINES. Paid sir.o Each for 527 Automatic Cashiers. Which Sold on the Open Market at Fach. COMPANY RECEIVED $50 THE AfiEVf- 50 AND THE REMAINDER WENT TO "GRAFTERS." Fvldence of Postofflce? Inspectors Who Were Instrumental In Securing; Reavers' Indictment. WASHINGTON. July 18. -It developed today that the total number of cash registers supplied to the Postofflce Department by the Brandt-Dent Automatic Cashier Company, of Watertown, Wis., was 527. The inspectors have evidence of this, although the present action of the grand jury in Brooklyn in indicting George W. Beavers is based on the contract under which 250 of the machines were supplied. The Information in the possession of the government is that of the amount paid by the government for each machine the contracting company received $50. while $lu0 went for commissions, of which amount the agent of the company received $50. The cash registers were sold openly in the market throughout the country for $125, while the "government paid $150 each. There was a slight change In the construction of the machine sold in the open market and CaVOM sold to the government, but the inspectors say this change was trivial and the cost insignificant. The supply of the machines dates back to the latter part of 1897, when the first machines were furnished the department for a trial. The contract for the 250 machines at $150 was entered into May 9. 1898. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, who Is directing the investigation, has received no word from New Y'ork as to the prospect of the arrest of Beavers. Mr. Seabury. of counsel for Mr. Beavers, said at New York to-day that his client was not a fugitive from Justice. "Mr. Beavers is not in hiding." he said. "He is not seeking to escape the operation of the law. Of course. I believe in my client's innocence, but I beg to be excused from making any statement at present, which, 1 think, would be premature. I may make a siuu-inent at some later' date." The controller of the treasury has completed the examination of the accounts of Postmaster Van Cott, of New York, for the quarter ended Dec. 31. 1902, which he took up as the result of the postofflce investigation, and has allowed all the accounts except an item of $450 paid to H. C. 'Graff for alleged services as cashier of the New York postofflce at the rate of $1.800 a year. Graff was intimately associated with George H. Beavers, now under indictment by the federal grand jury at Brooklyn. The controller holds that Graff was not employed as cashier at New Y'ork and was not on duty in that city, but was inspector In charge of inspecting and adjusting canceling machines and motors at postofnees throughout the country. The controller hays the law distinctly prohibits the detail of employes from any branch of the postal M rvice outside of Washington to duty here and the payment is illegal. Postmaster Van Cott contends that he was acting under the direction of a superior officer and had no control over Mr. Graff's appointment, which was made from Washington, but the controller says these facts do not relieve the disbursing officer from responsibility. Warrant Not Served on Beavers. NEW YORK, July 18. The district attor ney announces that he will refrain at pres ent from requesting the service of a bench warrant upon Mr. Beavers, deeming it right that he should have the opportunity to sur render himself if he sees fit, and has ad vised his counsel. Messrs. Morgan and Seabury, to that effect. The ci'.cne for which Beavers has been indieted is technically a misdemeanor, punishable by two years' im prisonment or $10.000 line. GB0WING WEAKEB. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) drawn from the chest leaves no doubt, says the dispatch, as to the nature ot the dis iDr. Rossoni, who is a Freemason and an intimate friend of Dr. Bacelli, Italian minister of commerce, industry and agriculture, has not concealed from the latter, according to the Journal's correspondent, that his diagnosis differs from that of his colleagues and that ' he considers Pope Dpo's condition hopeless. Dr. Rossoni is said, further as serts the correspondent, to be unwilling to contradict officially the affirmations of the other doctors and signs only the bulletins giving the general state of the Pope s ill ness, without specifying the disease 1'rJlrrl which his Holiness is suffering. He signed Thursday's bulletin, but did not sign the later one mentioning tha pleuritic liquid. No Carmelite Madouua Procession. ROME, July 18. One of the most picturesque ceremonies of this season in Rome, the procession of the Carmelite Madonna, which occurs two days after the fete day of the Madonna, was rauch cur tailed because of Pope Leo's condition. I'sually a long procession of women. glrU-, priests and monks winds through the tortuous streets or Trastivere. the popular district, carrying an image of the Madonna and c naming hymns in her praise, while andles flare and flowers are strewn along the rcote, the multitude looking on en chanted. To-day, however, the image of the Madonna was taken early and privately to the church without any display, but long and more fervent prayers were offered to God for the preservation of the aged Pontiff. Doctors Do Not Agree. PARIS, July 18. A special dispatch from Rome to the Temps says that Dr. Mazzoni was questioned at length and told the cor respondent of that paper that the Pope's illness was necessarily fatal; that his (af til was only a question of timt but that it might not occur for days, even a week. On the other hand, the Join nal des Dehats publishes a dispatch which quotes Dr. Rossoni as saying that the condition of his Holiness is better from day to day, and adding: "We see a little hope. If his Holiness holds out a few days longer without fatigue and takes a little nourishment. is he did last night, we may definitely hope for a cure, perhaps more promptly than generally believed. " Ciibbona May See the Pontiff. PARIS, July 10. -The Paris edition of the Herald publishes a dispatch from Rome saying that nu mbers of the papal court intend to have his Holiness informed of the presence in Europe of Cardinal Gibbons, when Pope Leo will surely summon the cardinal to Rome in order to have a last conversation with him concerning Cathol icism in the United Stat Loisfi by Fire.

"Big Sis." Firms Will Go Before the 1 nleed States Supreme Court. CHICAGO. July 18. The Chicago packing firms made defendants in the "Beef Trust'' cases to-day appealed the suit to the Supreme Court of the United States, the order being entered by Judge Grosscup after a conference with Attorney John S. Miller, representing the packers, and United States District Attorney Bethea, who conducted the prosecution. The six defendant firms who took the appeal are: Armour & Co., Swift & Co., Nelson-Morris Company. H;immond Packing Company, Cudahy I'.u king Company, and Schwarzschild & Sulzberger. This is the case in which the "Big Six" at the stockyards were enjoined from continuing the operation of an agreement which the court held to be in restraint of trade. The bill was filed in May, 1902, and after a year had elapsed and arguments bad been presented Judge Grosscup overruled the demurrer of the packers. The defendants till could file an answer to prove that they did not commit the acts complained of, but they defaulted, and May 26 the court entered a final order of injunction From this the appeal was taken. The objections raised by the defendants are chiefly technical. WORK OF THE SNAGB0ATS. 1 What Was Done In the Mississippi in the St. Louis District. ST. LOUIS, July 18. Major Thomas L.

DOG TOOK TO THE STEAK

HE PELL INTO TUE ALLERDICE CELLAR AM) WAS WELL FED. Later He Repeated ted His Trfttlca, d that He Did It and It Im Rumore Just to Get Food. The residents of Park avenue betueen Twelfth and Thirteenth street have been bothered almost to death by the antics of a drove of tramp dogs which has infested their neighborhood during the last few days, and have clamored for police protection from the animals, which seem to enjoy the discomfiture they are causing the Parkaveiiueites. The fact that bad dogs are as bad as bad boys, aud worse, was demonstrated to the family of Joseph Allerdice, 112 Park avenue, Friday midnight, when a dirty yellow cur had a fit and fell through their cellar window, causing such a racket by his barking and snarling in the basement that the entire enighborhood was awakened. After much coaxing, even unto tempting the half-starved "bum" with a fine piece of beefsteak, which was to have been served at the family breakfast, the snarling cur was lured up the cellar stairs and out of the house and the window through which the animal fell was boarded up with heavy planks to prevent a repetition. At about 1 o'clock in the morning after the incident had been forgotten and the Allerdice family were again slumbering, another chorus of barks and snarls broke in upon their rest and an Investigation resulted in the self same dog being found in the cellar for the second time. He fell in through the cracks left between the boards 1 just to get another steak for a dog friend oi hit, he seemed to say, and the operation was repeated and the cellar cleared of the barking dcg. Half an hour later six dogs red dogs, brown dogs, shaggy dogs, all tramps assembled under the front porch of J. 1. Diskette's home at 1210 Park avenue and gave a canine imitation of the anvil chorus for about half an hour, but were finally scared away by a crowd of indignant neighbors who arose from their beds and in their night robes began a war on the frolicking dogs with shoes, vases, dishes and all kinds of household articles. At 6 o'clock in the morning one wee little snarling pup, unable to keep up the pace of his larger companions, went crazy and fell into a manhole of a sewer that was left open and fourteen of his canine companions assembled around the opening and set up such a howl that the attention Of two negroes was attracted and they lowered a rope to the insane dog and lifted him to the ground. A moment later he was seen scampering towards Indiana avenue and the other rogs dispersed until Tuesday night, when they say they will have another lark on Park avenue if not stopped by the police. BACK TO REFORMATORY. Earl Spain Will Have to Spend Vine Years There. Earl Spain, the man who was arrested by Captain Gerber, of the city detective department, the other day for alleged extensive thefts of valuable horses in this and other counties during the last year or so, will be taken back to Jeffersonvllle to serve out the balance of a former sentence from which he wfcs paroled a year or so ago. He will be compelled to stay in that institution nine years, which is the unexpired portion of his original term. The constable fron Knights town, in company with several residents of that city, were in Indianapolis last night seeking to recover two horses and buggies which they claim Spain stole there several weeks ago and disposed of in Indianapolis. Captain Gerber is under the impression that Spain was connected with an organized of horse thieves and acted merely as thir afteni in disposing of the booty and an effort will be made to break up the band. OPIUM JOINT MANAGERS. Heavy Fines Meted Ont to Them In the Police Court. The cases against the opium joint managers were tried In the Police Court yesterday morning, and the defendants, Joe and Julia Shafer and William and Carrie Davis, all colored, were lined $100 and costs on the charge of running an opium joint.

Two Persona Killed, Sixteen Injured and One Hundred More Shorked. ROANOKE. Va.. July 18. By the explosion of a large quantity of dynamite and blasting powder in a magazine near Pearisburg to-day James Phillips and George Noel, laborers, were killed, sixteen persons were injured and one hundred persons shocked. A passenger train on the Norfolk & Western Railroad was going at full speed past the magazine, which is two hundred yards from the tracks, when the explosion -curred. The windows of the train were broken, the coaches were damaged and every person in the train was shocked. A special train with surgeons on board conveyed the wounded to Blueneld, where they were placed In a hospital. It is not known what caused the explosion. WORK ON PANAMA CANAL MISTAKE TO THINK THAT MEX WILL BE DEEDED THERE SOON. After Deal with Colombia Is Ended Actual Work Will Not Begin for Eighteen Months. Washington Post. For some reason most men would rather "go somewhere" to work than be satisfied with a Job at home. Suppose the following notice should appear in the papers: "Wanted 30,000 men to build the Panama canal. Apply Ao Uncle Sam, Washington, D. C." Within twenty-four hours, it is safe to say, there would be a scramble for jobs the like of which has never been known. In this particular case the opinion seems to prevail that there is no time to be lost; that as soon as the Colombian government agrees to the transfer of the concession from the French company to the American authorities the dirt will begin to fly before the ink gets dry on the treaty. As a matter of fact, the real work on the canal will not begin for from one and a half to two years after the final negotiations between the United States government and the Colombian Congress are completed. Two years is a rather long wait for the average working man. It is estimated that about 20 per cent, of the total expenditure (nearly $25,000,000) will be used in getting ready. The most thorough and comprehensive arrangements will be made in engineering, policing, sanitation and general contingencies. Without this preliminary work three out of every five men who go there would never come back. Panama is dirty and foul beyond description. The French lay their Sailure to swindling, but the one great obstacle has always been the dreadful fevers which at tack the workmen aud cause them to die like flies. Pestilence must be overcome or the big ditch will never be put through. The American sanitary officers are the most skilled disease fighters in the world. Wherever they have tried their hand they have brought the death rate tumbling down in a manner that was little short of marvelous. They will surely win in Panama, ior they are planning the greatest campaign that science has ever inaugurated. They will pave the way for our army of laborers and skilled artisans and make it possible for them to complete the task that will stand as one of the greatest accomplishments of man. But until our sanitary experts say come, the average American had better hold down his job at home. 30,000 MEN NEEDED. When the work of construction finally gets under way, the least number of men whose services will be requited is estimated at 30,000. These will consist of unskilled laborers by the thousands, as well as skilled laborers of almost every kind. There will be places for electricians, engineers, stcne masons, stone cutters, plumbers, bricklayers, wire workers, tinners, pattern makers, carpenters, painters, blacksmiths, steel workers, iron workers, expert accountants, doctors, nurses, druggists, clerks, overseers, railroad men, cooks, waiters, telegraph operators, photographers, stenographers, laundrymen, etc. It has not been determined whether the government will do all the work of whether a large amount of it will be done by contract. In tho former case the government will employ the help and furnish all supplies, providing transportation for the people and sending all provisions on transports. In this event the arrangements will also include living quarters. There are hundreds of houses that will be included In the transfer of the property, and an important part of the preliminary work will consist of putting these in order. Additional accommodations will be provided as they are needed. In case contractors undertake the whole or part of the work, it is not known what arrangements will be made for food and quarters for the men. It is very possible, however, that In securing employes these things will enter into the contract, for very obvious reasons. Rates of compensation in no line have been agreed upon or computed. The commissioners state that they will endeavor to secure the best skilled labor in all lines, and pay accordingly; the same rule holds good in regard to the clercial force. There is considerable doubt and controversy over the selection ot the common labor. Experience has shown that the Jamaci.i negro excels In some kind of labor that will be needed on the isthmus, and, next to him, come the negroes from Barbados. Some reference has been made to contracting for labor from Japan and China, and it is possible that the force may be supplemented by representatives of these races. Coolie labor is very cheap, but the rate of mortality among this class is very great, and everything must be taken into consideration which will tend to preserve the health -ind the life of the community. The Southern negro has been slightly considered that is, the one from the far South but the one objection to his being employed is the fact that the scale of prices in vogue with him is higher than is likely to rule in the line of work that he is intended for. CHANCES FOR WORK. Aside from the thousands of men who will enter the employ of the government, there will be many chances for work on the outside. Barbers, tailors, doctors. dentists, shoemakers and others without number will find a ready market for their services. The chances for independent endeavor, however, will depend in a large measure on whether the government does the work or lets it out by contract. It the whole work is done by the government, it will greatly reduce the chances for individual effort along many lines. With 30.000 men drawing regular wages the gamblers and amusement caterers will do a big business. The exclusive gambling privilege for the city of Panama has been sold to private parties, but this concession will piobably be annulled by the transfer. It is likely that rigid restrictions will be placed on all games of chance within the canal zone. While no forecast has been made on the firobable actlun of the commission in grantng saloon licenses, it is thought these will be denied, as drinking in the tropics is dan gerous to the health of any person from a northern climate. The argument has '.-n advanced, however, that the men will 1 artainly Indulge in drink and play; that if no resorts are allowed in the canal zone, they will surely be established on neutral ground Just outside the district under our government's jurisdiction. The plan of starting the big project is already under way. We have in Panama at present a commission, headed by Admiral Walker, among the members of which are two army engineers and two civil engineers. The nature of their work ia entirely preliminary, the most important feature of it being, of course, the formulation of the sanitary cruaade. The work of the present company ia being watched and estimates of Its value being prepared. Although much has been published about the operations of the present French company, it is not generally knowr that work on the canal ia now in actuti progress.

When the De Lesseps Company failed, a second organization was formed, which took over the concessions of the first company, and it has .been operating on a small scale ever since not with the idea of completing the work, but merely to hold the charter and save something from the wreck by selling out. When an agreement was reached between this company and the United States government, it was provided that the former should go on with the work of construction until the formal ratification was accomplished between Colombia and the United States, when the latter was to pay for all work that had been done in the meantime. This sum will be in addition to the S4n.000.WX) we are to pay for the full rights and property of the French company. Plann for n. Dairy Inntltutr.
