prayer. The postmaster said he
took this action at the request of a
physician who said the message ac-
companying the prayer affected the
nerves of some recipients.
' The postal cards contain the fol-
i lowing prayer:
'Lord bless all mankind. Keep
them from evil. Take them to dwell
with Thee eternally."
Following the prayer is a message
saying that all who write the pray-
er and mail it to nine friends will
be "enlightened of some great ca-

THE FARMERS & MERCHANTS LBR. CO.
Corpus Christl, Texas, December
30.—To prove their contention that
Judge Givens Parr and Commission-
ers Carillo, Allen, Garcia and Hlno-
josa, constituting the county com-
missioners court of Duval county,
have illegally paid out county funds,
anl that the checking system is al-
together unsatisfactory, the petition-
ers in the Duval ouster suit today
produced a number of county rec-
ords in court.
The hearing is before Judge Voll
M. Taylor at San Diego. The peti-
tiiners, who are taxpayers of Duval
county, asking that the five members
of the county commissioners court
be instantly suspended from office
and that on final hearing they bo
ousted and their successors elected,
as provided by law.
George Kidd, Jr., of Houston, a
public accountant, who for the past
year at Intervals has been employed
by a number of taxpayers to audit
the books of Duval county, was on
the stand for the greater part of the
day, it being through his inspectlln
of the county records that much of
the testimony of the day developed.
One of the charges against the
; commissioners is that they practice
neptoiBm in violation of the State
law. The petitioners charged that
'during the past year the comtulsslon-
ers paid to one Jose Carillo approx-
imately $2,000 for alleged road
work, and alleged that he is a broth-
er to County Commissioner Carillo.
The petitioners further alleged that
when warrants were issued to Car-
rlllo, that they were not specific, for
instance one warrant reading "Jose
Carrlllo, road work, $50."
The petitioners also alleged that
in a number of Instances the com-
missioners approved the warrants
several weeks after they had been
issued and paid by the county treas-
urer.

rants for the arrest of Congressman

dicted yesterday for conspiracy to

nition factories, were sent to Wash-
ington laBt night. Three of the re-
maining defendants, Frank 8. Mon-
nett, former attorney general of

ed is Franz Von Rlntelen, the Ger-
man agent who is said to have fi-
nanced the alleged conspiracy. He
is a prisoner of war in England.

protected by his prerogatives as con-
gressman, but this is denied by
United States Attorney H. Snowden

Sweeping Denials Made.
Following his arraignment Mr.
Monnett issued a statement from the
offices of his counsel in which he de-
nied ever having accepted or hoving
been offered any German money.
He said he never knew either Lamar
or Von Rlntelen and that as far as
he knew neither had any connection
with the peace council. Monnett
denouncel the shipment of munitions
to the allies as criminal and Illegal.
He declared President Wilson was
being deceived and that he was anx-
ious to do everything in his power
to undeceive him.
Taylor also denied categorically
the charges against him and claimed
that both Lamar and Von Rlnteleln
were strangers to him. Lamar 're-
fused to comment.
The investigation into the activi-
ties of German agents in this coun-
try will be resumed by a federal
grand jury which will convene here
on January 6.
