lAnniversary Announcementl Special to the Toroh of Liberty, A little more than four months ago Postmaster General Paoe declared in an interview (bat reports of soanalr in the Post office were "hoi air" and a "stuibp speech." Todav thirty per-sons, inoludibg a former postmastei four heads of divisions, two assistant attorneys tu the Post office, besides an ex-congressman, a New York state senator and a Pennsylvania mayor, stand indicted and awaiting trial for defrauding the government through the Post office Department. Against one official fourteen indictments were found, against another six and against several of them two or three. On Monday tbe Wasbing'on grand jury was dismissed and its last, aot was to announce thirteen new in. dietunnts against ten men, Tbe names on the list are James N. Tynar, Harri son J.

Barret, George W. Beavers, Soott Towers, James Metoalf, August W. Macheo, Norman Harry C. Hallenbeck, William D. Dorernus and Georgi E.

Green. The tria'fl of these tnen will begin during the present session of the court and they are expected to drag along! through tbe winter and through next summer. The frauds may be divided into three classes the taking of commissions on supplier purchased by the department, the accepting of consideration in return for allowing fraudulent concerns to use the mails and the incorrect charging of expense accounts to the department. Among tbe latest tbe most interesting is that of Tyner, He is nearly eighty years old and has held high positions in the Post offide Department for many years. At one time during the Presidency of General Grant be was Postmaster General, Before his recent dismissal he was Assistant Attor ncy General for the Post dffice.

As such was the chief legal adviser to tbe department, yet he is 'be very one, who with his nephew-in- law Barret, allowed the misuse of -the 'get-noh quiok'- concerns. Tbe report of Fourth Assistant Bristow will be ready about October 20. It is said to consist of 350 type written pages. Tbis will practically end the investigation, unless the republican party carry out their present intentions of calling for a congressioal investigation, "to forestall the Washington was startled last week by the news that an armed lunatic was arrested at tbe White House where be had gone in a vain attempt to see the President. The watchman expeoted him as ho bad sent h8 photograph a few davs before to Secretary Loeb in a 'etter askius; for an interview with President Roosevelt.

The police offi cers tried to induce him to leave quiet ly but he refusfd -and in a dispute which followed he became violent and drew a revolver, He was disarmed at once and carried off to the polioe sJa tion. On his way there he struggled with his guard who was severely in jured in the arm by the glass of the window which was broken during the scuffle. The police later learned that the man was a Dane named Peter Elliott and that he had just come to Washington from Minneapolis, where he spent his time trying to invent a perpetual motion machine. He was pronounced insane and sent to an asylum. It was also learned that on the preceding Sunday he followed the President to church and shook hands with him after the service.

This fact ahows the utility of tbe President's guard, for had Elliott so desired he might have shot the President as be shook hands with though it is probable the President would have 'juickly disarmed him.

ErAathony Block, Hound City Kansas bill at the next session providing for a regular guard detailed from tbe War department. It is said that the mem bers of the President's cabinet will advooate such a measure. A. report has just been issued show ing tbe Post Office transactions for thefinoai year. The expenditures a-mounted to $138 784.487 97 and the receipts $13-4 224,443 24 thus leaving a deficiency of $4 560.044 73.

The total finanoial transaction for the year iucluding the money order system, were $1,926,721,407 96, thus for the first lime passing the billion dollar mark. Illustrating the magnitude of the postal operations, an official said, 'If errors essape detectron in the Auditors Office amounting to 1 100th of 1 per oent of the business bandied, the sums lost in sx vears would reaoh $500,000, or five times the amount in. volved in the Postal frauds now under investigation. The negroes of the District of Co lumbia continue to criticise the republican party. At a recent meeting at which minv members of the suffrage league were present, tbe president of the league declared that the colored people were going to create a stir if their liberties were taken away from them.

Another speaker added, "Let us not be led astray by talk of indus'rial education; and hold ing of property. If they caa steal the ballot tbeyo an steal our property." William Calvin Chase said, If the republican parry cannot prevent the repeal of the fifteenth amendment when it is in power, let us no longor support the party as we have done in tbe past. They tell us we owe the republican party a debt of gratitude. In the name of all the gods havent we already paid that debt? If Roosevelt and his party cannot come to our rescue I think that we should withdraw our suppoir from them." This and other indications show that the republican party cannot retain the negro vote from mere gratitude for the past favors. THE BEST FARM INPLEMENT.
