DENVER, Col. —Revolt is spreading

protests over Hitchcock’s head—to

Rumors of a possible strike come
many directions, but such action
not generally advocated. The in-
dismissal of a St. Paul clerk
fflHwho signed a teleg-am of protest on
of 200 fellow clerks, has in
flamed the men in the service, how
ever, and added much to the under
current of bitterness.
•Responses to my call for signatures

up to date indicate clearly that the

“I hare already forwarded to con

of the fuss—the order that tied up
Christmas mails In a fearful tangle,
and drove railway mall clerks to des

against any additional appointments
of clerks, despite increased business, or
even to fill vacancies, if the work can
possibly be piled-on the present force,
whatever c -ertime worx (without ex
tra pay) it. puts upon them. Walter
has obtained copies of two letters sent
out from Washington in October to su
perintendents of the railway mall serv-
one of which quotes the following
order of the second assistant postmas

”1 am return to you a number of
cases for the appointment of addition

In regard to these and all other cases
of new appointment or employment In
the service, the division superintendent
should hereafter submit In each case
the statement that he knows of no

which could be utilised to meet the
needs for which the appointment is
asked. Thrts instruction is given in

A seconu order, issued soon after,
says that the above order to take up
slack “is intended to apply not only to
proposed Increases in the regular force,
but also to the employment of tempo

GRAND JURY MAY CLASH
WITH SHERIFF’S OFFICE
Trouble Over Serving/ Sub
penas in Election Fraud
Investigation the Trouble
(By AMoclat-d Frew.)
DANVILLE, 111., Feb. 17.—A clash be
tween the grand jury and the sheriff’s
office is among the probabilities of the
next few hours in the election fraud in
vestigation. Ever since the elimination of
State’s Attorney Lewman it is claimed
that Foreman Woodyard has been hav
ing trouble in securing witnesses, sub
penas issued being returned witfi the in
dorsement “person not found.”
This morning Frank Collard, former
Danville saloon keeper, converted during
the Billy Sunday revival last year, and
now himself an evangelist, voluntarily
appeared before the grand jury. A sub
pena had been issued for him several
days ago. Collard says he was at home
all day yesterday until evening. As soon
as he left the house, a deputy called over
the telephone and being Informed that
Mr. Collard was not at home, immediate
ly appeared at the house with the sub
pena. Not finding his man, the officer
marked the subpena “not at home,” and
immediately returned to the sheriff’s
office. f
Bench warrants Issued on indictments
returned a week ago have not been
served and Foreman Woodyard believes
such a condition antagonistic to the work
of the grand jury exists In the sheriff’s
office that he will be justified In start
ing something that will assist the fu
ture efforts of the grand jury as much
as did the elimination of Lewman.
HUNGARIAN BEWITCHED
BY AMERICAN WOMEN
NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—Count Appon
yi, the Hungarian statesman, has given
his opinion of American women. He
says:
“Your American women? They are
wonderful—so active, so keenly alive, so
healthy and enthusiastic.
*‘l was standing by a window overlook
ing Central park this morning and I
saw two women swinging into the park
valk. 'My word, those ladies are going
at a tremendous pace,’ I remarked to
the chap with whom I was conversing.
He told me that sort of thing was
quite customary that women prepared
themselves for the strain of the day’s
social demands by early morning ‘con
stitutionals.’ It’s all in keeping with
the splendid outdoor life to which your
women seem addicted.
“And speaking ot social demands. The
American women’s social calendar is
a marvel. For my life I can't see where
she finds time to allow it and at the
same time be actively interested in all
manner of clubs and beneficial efforts.
“She seems to have found the foun
tain of youth too. I meet mothers and
daughters at the same affairs and inva
riably I must have the particular rela
tion of each tb the other defined.’’

$12,000 FOR HIS VOTE
NEW YORK. Fb. 16.—Actual proceed

of having attempted in 1908 to bribe

now a member of congress, to help de

“I met Gardner on a train coming to
New York fr«m Albawy. Gardner said
to me ‘we need your vote to defeat the

defeated.* He said he (Would give me
$12,000 in all, $2,000 more than the other
senators were’getting, because I was a
‘friend of his.'

a thing and I left him.”

election of a democratic president to
succeed President Taft. The house was
discussing the proposal to increase the

Advanced Caso of Consumption Cured
In Four Months
Lung-Germine Co.,
Jackson, Mich.
Dear Sirs: I feel it my duty to write you
that I bare been saved from the grave by Lung-
Germine. Every one that saw me thought I
would die in a short time, and my doctor told
me be could not help me. Analysis of my
sputum by the State Board of Health showed
that thousands of tuberculosis germs were pres
ent. I was having hemorrhages very bad, and
fever 103 ‘every day.
I beard of Lung-Germine and began its use.
At the end of two months my cough was all
gone and I was gaining very fast. I sent an
other sample of my sputum to be analysed and
the reply came back that there was no germs
whatever. When I began Lung-Germine treat
ment I weighed 95 pounds. I used the treat
ment four months in all and today I am well
and strong. I weigh 115 pounds and can truth
fully say that I am completely cured of con
sumption tfr Lung-Germine. Yours very truly,
MRS. LUCY BUNDY,

Cored of Chronic Consumption
Dr. C. R. Wendt,
Jackson. Mich.,
Care Lung-Germine Co.
Dear Doctor:—
It is with pleasure that I write to you to
let you know that after taking two months*
treatment of Lung-Germine I am completely
cured of Chronic ’Consumption. My case was
diagnosed before taking your medicine by sev
eral local physicians and they pronounced my
case Chronic Consumption. They also told me
that my right lung was so nearly closed up that
not a particle of air entered It, and so to speak,
was of no good to me whatever.
I called on my regular physician the 10th
of thia month again, and he tested my lungs.
After doing so, he told me my lungs were
sound as those of any healthy person. He was
greatly surprised to find them In this condi
tion. I must, of course, give Lung-Germine
absolute credit for the condition my lungs are
In today.
I have increased in weight from 109 to 120
pounds, and so fnr as I can see, my cure Is
complete. I assure you that I will recommend
your Lung-Germine to any one whom I may run
across with weak lungs.
With best wishes, I remain.
Sincerely yours,
MRS. EMMA HAYWOOD,
Ogden, Utah.
P. S. —Please address all correspondence to me

Cured of Consumption Five Tsars Ago;
Not a Single Symptom Km
Appeared Sines
Lung-Germine Co.,
Jackson, Mich.
Gentlemen: In response to your inquiry I
can say that Lung-Germine cured me com
pletely and permanently of what was pronounced
by my attending physicians GENUINE TUBER
CULOSIS. I used only two bottles of your
Lung-Germine, and this I took in March, 1902,
so you see it is over five years since I was
cured, and there is not the slightest Indication
of a relapse, and not a single symptom has
returned.
Before using Lung-Germine I was losing flesh
very rapidly, had night sweats, and I had two
hemorrhages. I assure yon that I appreciate
beyond expression what your medicine has done
for me, and I hereby give you permission to
publish my letter if you wish. Yours sincerely,
WM. BERLEMAN,

that I am feeling fine as silk, and I have not
even suffered with a cold to amount to any
thing since I was cured. Before using Lung-
Germine I had tried almost every known reme
dy and several of our best doctors without re
lief, and I had lost alt hopes of ever getting
well, I rcommend Lnng-Germlne as the only
medicine in the world that gives permanent
relief.” I

Dear Sirs:*—l take great pleasure in report
ing the remarkable cure I obtained by the use

PRISONERS BREAK IN JAIL AS
OTHERS TRY TO BREAK OUT |
DALTON, Ga., Feb. 30.—Two tncidents
showing a startling diversity in the do
sires of different people occurred here
Saturda/. Saturday morning, gome
prisoners attempted to break into the
county jail, and Saturday night some
attempted, to break out. Those wanting
to break in didn’t succeed; but those
wanting to break out were successful,
two making their escape.
The ones who wanted to break in were
federal prisoners who learned of the
presence here of a deputy United States
marshal. They had beea permitted the
run of the jail yard, and one had been
given an even longer beat.
When Deputy Marshal Lee Cape came
here from Rome after Ed Young, who
was to be taken before Judge Newman,
Young was missing. He later appeared
at the jail after learning that the offi
cer wanted him. While the officer was
talking to Mrs. Gidbert, wife of the
sheriff, at the front door of the jail, the
prisoners were clamoring at the side .en
trance. trying to get in. For years it
has been the custom to grant federal
prisoners many liberties; for a “moon
shiner’s” word is almost invariably as
good as his bond; and so greatly do they
appreciate favors shown them that they
have never yet made any attempt to es
cape. The action of Young is hurrying
