fc TWO COUNTS HOLD IN EACH OF NINE INDICTMENTS Charges Admitted Are Aiding and Abetting in Fraudulent Naturalization and Securing Fraudulent Certificates Three Indictments Dismissed. Judge Adams' ruling upon the demurrer filed in behalf of the defense and argued by Judge Krurn. who urged that all the counts In all the Indictments charging fraudulent naturalization against Thomas E. Barrett, John Dolau and Policeman Frank Garrett, made clear the following Issues upon which the case will go to the Jury: 1. The guilt lonoeeoce of the de fendants may lie determined only by the fifth and ninth counts In the various Indictments.

These counts apeelfy that Dnlan, Barrett nnd Garrett aided and abetted In securing false naturalisation certificate nnd that further they attainted In unlaw fatly obtaining citizenship papers. 2. All of those ronntn In which the charge la mode that the prlnelpala (the men who were naturalised through the papera In question beld forged certificates nre dlnniWoed, na the court nHsent-Ing to the contention of Jodare mm de-elded no evidence to support them wan offered by the government. S. Those averment of the Indictments containing the ehnrge that the eltlsen-ahlp papers were procured by frnud In view of the fnct that It wan shown at the trial that the applicant had never gone to the Coort of Appeals nre ruled oat.

There could be no frnnd practiced. Judge Adams held, aave against thin or aome other court acting aa the agenc of the t'nlted States government In Ibe naturalisation of aliens. With tbene propositions disponed of Judge Adnma then ordered a dlnminnat of indictment IVon. 4012. 41)13 nnd 4026.

In etch of these indictments the principals named failed to appear In court, and on this ground the court said he would Instruct the Jury to return a verdict not gu'ity. Tho defense construed Judge Adams rul-Irgs in the light of a temporary victory, but District Attorney Norton! stated that the court's decision was no surprise to the govemn.mt. "There still remains." he said, "the body of the offense. This charge of forgery is only eliminated In so far as it pertains the principals who held the forged certifi cates. Testimony as to the forgeries com mitted will be considered In determlr.lnf the weight to be given the other counts." At 12:30 court took a recess until 2 o'clock when testimony for the defense will begin.

The maximum punishment on each count and the nine Indictments make the etghteen counts in all 5 years in the penitentiary. The lowest is two years, so that a conviction on the points to be determined by the Jury would mean a long sentence for Barrett, Dolan and Garrett. MORROW AND BARRETT'S TRIAL SET FOR NOV. 23. The trial of Al Morrow, stenographer to Gov.

Dockery, and Thomas E. Barrett, charged with naturalization fraud, was set for Monday, Nov. 23, upon motion by United States District Attorney Dyer with the assent of Attorneys Krum and Fred Lehman, representing the two defendants.

1 Postmaster-General Payne Says Only Reason for Disciplining Her "Was That She Made Complaints Against Her Superior, Postmaster Baumhoff HER CASE TO BE DECIDED REGARDLESS OF CHANGE Civil Service Commissioner Says Justice Will Be Done Young Woman Who Was Virtually Discharged by Retiring Head of Postoffice. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON. Nov. 11.

Commissioner of Civil Service Cooley said this morning: "We do not expect a letter from Postmaster Baumhoff until thia morning. We did not hbar from him. He will have-time to answer before giving up his office, and we assume that he will. "Our Interest, however. Is in the young lary who is suspended from the service and who cannot find out why.

When the rere-sentative of the Post-Dispatch brought this to my attention, I sent a brief note to Postmaster Baumhoff asking him to explain to the commission why Miss Dreyer was under suspension. The not was a formal request, "Under the law It is part of the business of the commission to know these things. When our records do not show the reasons we go to those who should know. In thia instance it is Mr. Baumhoff.

"The change in postmasters will make no difference as to our position. For the young lady, we will find out why she is under suspension. The postmaster at St- Louis, be he Mr. Baumhoff or Mr. Wyman, must tell us that, and when we are informed we will make the reasons public "There can be no secrecy or evasion It must be made absolutely clear.

VJifi'4 law "lch creates this com-missic not act as a Juoge. We are empowered fo insist that no one shall be dismissed from the classified service of the government without sufficient reason We are also empowered to determine when a reason assigned by a superior is sufficient cause for dismissal from the public service. "For instance, we can say that gambling is a sufficient reason for belug uismissed from a position of trust, and we recently did say in a noted case that belonging to a labor union was not a sufficient reason. Publicity Gives Employe Protection. "But we cannot go back of the reasons assigned by an official and determine whether the reasons assigned are supported by fact or whether the cause for dismissal is supported by a truthful statement.

The law stops us this side or such an inquiry, "But we do give the employe the protec tion of publicity. If a person is dismissed the superior must give ua the reason. Vv hen it is given we make it public if the reason is not true and does the person damage relief may be had in the courts. "In certain cases, if it was shown to the department that false reasons were wilfully given, this commission would report the facts to heads of aepartmenta and the offending official would be dealt with in that case of Miss Dreyer has Just this relation tp the commission. Outside of this, it belongs to the postoffice department." A treasury official states that the charges which were made against Miss Dreyer In connection with the St.

Louis subtreasury employe have been withdrawn and will not be permitted to appear again. Mr. Cooley said that the civil service commission would not let that affect the case. All the treasury officials interested absolutely refuse to discuss the case. Mr.

Wilkie, who made the investigation and report is not here. The informant of the Post-Disfjatch says that he examined the records some time ago and knew that the charges had been withdrawn and the papers extracted. Payne Prompted Dreyer Dismissal. "The Dreyer case is now up to the civil service commission," said Postmaster-General Payne to the Post-Dispatch correspondent today. "The same may be said of others under suspension.

I do not care to say what this department will do until I know what the civil service commission does. "When I heard that the civil service commission had made inquiries in the Dreyer case 1 directed Mr. aunhoff to cah attention of the commission to the fact that she wtth others had been suspenaed by order of the department. "About that order 1 wish to say this-There was nothing in the report of Civil (Service Commissioner Foulke which In any way reitected on the girls good name. The toulke report indicated to me that there was an tutort on the part of certain persons to foice Mr Baumlioit out of the office.

The report showed that Miss Dreyer and others were implicated In that effort conspiracy, if you piAse. 'She was temporarily suspended because it appeared that she was involved with others In this effort against her superior. If Baumhoff was to remain in office it was not right to ask him to have these under him. It was contrary to good "There waa nothing more to the act. It was directed by tne department upon the information gained from the Foulke report.

I did it myself. The question of reinstatement will coma up by applications of suspended employes for their old places or through request of the civil service commission. If the postmaster deems It for the good of the service he can reinstate one or ail. If he deems It otheiwlse he ran refuse to do ao. Or he can tsk instructions from the department.

I am sure I do not known what course be will take." Krom another postal official it waa learned that the new St. postmaster would be expected to Inform himself as to the contents of the Fouike report, in so far ss it related to the;" suspended employes, tie also can mke an Investigation on his own account. It is expected that he wiil handle the matter promptly and gel it out of the way. Mrs. Taylor Recovers Bonds.
