New York, Nov. 14.—After more than century of agitation by individuals and organizations, bones representing approximately 15,000 "martyrs" of the revolutionary war, who died on the prison ship "Jersey" and other lesser vessels In Wallaibout Bay, Brooklyn, at last In a fittingly marked burial place, for which the government, New York state and hundreds of individuals made contributions. An imposing Doric column of granite, 270 feet high, Burmounted by a funeral urn, and "flag staff, rises above the tomb at Fort Greene park, Brooklyn, and Its dedi cation today Is marked by a remark able military parade of nearly 20,000 soldiers and marines, and memorable addresses by President-elect Wifliam H. Taft and Governor Charles E. Hughes. Biq Military Parade. 96" The procession of naval and mili tary organizations, said to be one of the largest in the history of Brooklyn, the tremendous outpouring of the peo ple from all over Greater New York, crowding densely the line of march, and at Fort Greene Park massed by tsns of thousands, presented an inspir ing spectacle. Major General Charles F. Roe, commanding the national guard of the si »te, was' grand marshal of the parade, which comprised four di visions—troops attached to division •headquarters, First ahd Second brigade headquarters and the naval militia. In these were included two squadrons of cavalry, three batteries of field artil lery, two organizations of the state sig nal corps, one field hospital corps, thres coast artillery regiments, headed by General David EL Austen the Seventh, Twelfth, Fourteenth, Twenty-third, Forty-seventh,. Sixty-first and Seventy second infantry regiments of ttfe na tional guard fourth division of the G. A. It, veterans associations and pa triotic societies, squadrons of mounted police and many miliary and other bands. Tha vicissitudes of the remains of the sailors and soldiers who died of fever and starvation, and rotted in the foul hulks of the British prison ships long anchored in Wallabout bay, which thev polluted, have been many, and have caused more than one outburst of pub lic indignation. It was in 1792, at a Brooklyn town meeting, that definite steps were first urged to properly bury the remains. Nothing was done, how ever, until 1808, when' the Tammany society secured funds for a temporary wooden tomb, which was constructed on Hudson street. To this the bodies, dug from the trenches along the Walla bout banks where they had been hast ily interred, were removed. With passing years the structure fell into decay, the bones became exposed and children played with them. Public feeling became aroused, and in 1875 the city of Brooklyn removed all that could be collected, several loads of them, to a tomb at Fort Greene park, under the stairs of the entrance, where they had been until work had begun on the present handsome memorial which the late Stanford White designed and which represents about $200,000. To these bones were added, four years ego, after a public service at Plymouth church, many more, filling about eight coffins, which had been unearthed in construction of warehouses at the Brooklyn navy yard. All the remains are now encased in metallic coffins in the specious tomb which is approached by a stately flight of several hundred steps. ii Frightful Chapter in History. Th^ experiences of the prison ship "Martyrs" constitute one of the most frightful chapters In American history. Eleven thousand sailors and soldiers died in the "Jersey" alone, a ship con structed to accommodate only ^00 men, twto which more than a thousand pris- AT oners were usually crushed. Many were kept there for years. A survivor. Cap itis Thomas Drlng, vividly depicted 1 the scenes of the horrible incarcera tion: "Registered and sent below new comers suffered terribly from the in tolerable heat and foul a'r, and when they sought the narrow air-holes they found tl\ein blocked by others, who fought with all their strength, for even the faintest breath of the precious air. "Utter derangement was a common synutom of tho fever that caused many deaths on board, and to increase the horror of the darkness that enshrouded tis, for we were allowed no light be twixt decks, the voice of warning would be heard: 'Take heed to your selves thero is a madman stalking thru the ship with a knife in his hand.' I sometimes found the man a corpse in the morning by whose side I laid my self down at night." Food Unfit to Eat. Of the bread furnished the prisoners the Rev. Thomas Andres wrote in Ills account: "I do not recollect seeing any which was not full of living vermin, but eat it. worms and all, we must or starve." The condition of the great Copper In which the prisoners' meat was boiled is thus described in the memoirs of Fbenezer Fox, also a prisoner aboard the Jersey: "The inside of the copper had become corroded to such a degree that it was lined with a coat of verdlgras. The Jer sey. from her size and lying near the shore, was imbedded in tlie mud and I do not recollect seeing her afloat dur ing the whole time I was a prisoner. All the filth which accumulated among upward of a thousand men, was dally thrown overboard and would remain there until carried away by the tide. The impurity of the water may be easily conceived, and in this water our meat was boiled. Not less revolting ftian these scenes of cruelty and dis tress was the manner in which the inanimate bodies of these martyred prisoners were hastily and indecorously consigned to the earth, in some cases almost before they had become cold." The program prepared for the day began at 3 p. m.. and included: Music by Twenty-third regiment band, closing with the "Star Spangled Banner," all standing. Prayer—Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman. Poem—Thomas Walsh. Oration—Hon. William H. Taft. Presentation of monument on behalf of the national government—-.Secretary of War Luke E. Wright. Acceptance on behalf of the state Governor Charles E. Hughes. Acceptance orr behalf of the city Chairman of the board of alderinen, Patrick F. MoGowan. Address on behalf of the Tammany Society or Columbian Order—Daniel F. Cohalan, grand sachem.

London, Nov. 14.—The Chinese min ister in London this morning, received a cablegram from Peking, saying that there is a slight improvement in the conditio o* the Chinese emperer, who yesterday was reported dead. Japan Believes Report. Tokio, Nov. 14.—In this city the re port of the death of the emperor of China is generally accepted as true.

GIRL IS STABBED Injured by Stilleto in ands of Un known Assailant, While Visiting at Cousin's Home, Near Baldwin—Mo tive of Crime Unknown. Special to Times-Republican.

Brinley Morgan, one of the noted Episcopal clergymen in Connecticut, was struck by an automobile this after noon, and probably fatally hurt. Attempt to Murder Public Pros ecutor at Frisco Stirs Peo ple of Entire City. BELIEVED CRIME WAS INSPIRED Members of Bar Meet and Express In­ dignation ond Call for Mass Meeting of Citizens Haas Spirited From Court Room ard Closely Guarded Abe RucF Also Placed in Jail. San Francisco, Nov. 14.—Francis J. Heney, special assistant district attor ney, who wafe shot yesterday afternoon in the court room by Morris Haas, an ex-convict, passed a restful night, re taining consciousness thruout. Re ports from the hospital early today state his condition is Improved. His friends and family are hopeful of his ultimate recovery. The gravest danger appears to be frota blood poisoning, and today an effort will be made to lo cate the bullet and the exact course of of the wound. Heney was shot in the right side of the head as he leaned forward over a table. The bullet entered a half Inch in front of the right ear and ranged downward, and is lodged somewhere in the muscles of the right side of the neck. In the opinion of the doctors his constitution is sufficiently strong to. add to his chance of recovery. Haas, who did the shooting, was last night confined in the county jail at Ingleside, several miles from the cen ter of the city. Abraham Ruef was ordered into custody by Judge Lawler immediately after the shooting, and Is also a temporary prisoner in jail, hav ing .been locked up in fear that he might be made a victim of renewed violence from some excited an^i unex pected quarter. Haas a Native of Germany. Morris Haas, the man who shot Heney, is a native of Wurtemburg, Germany, but has resided here since 1876. He is 48 years old'and for nearly ten years, or ever since his release front the penitentiary, where he served a two years' sentence for embezzlement of his employer's funds, he has been engaged in the retail liquor business. In the course of a lengthy statement made to the police after his arrest, the prisoner declared: "Heney pronounced his own death sentence that moment he denounced me in court." Willing to Be Hanged. Haas alluded constantly to the shame and disgrace he has experienced since Heney, several weeks ago confronted him as he sat In the jury box before a crowded court room with a photo graph of himself in convict's stripes. He has expressed a desire to be shot or hanged for what he has done. Ho has accounted for his movements of the year in a more or less straight forward manner, and has steadfastly declared that no one except himself knew of his preconceived determina tion to slay the man who had exposed his sins of the past. No effort was made in the statement as made to the public to associate any other In Haas' attempt, but it Is believed the pris oner, in the seclusion of the county jail, was during the early hours of the day subjected to a more rigorous ex amination. Citizene Are Angered. Prominent citizens and attorneys of the city gathered last night^at a meet ing, where spirited addresses were delivered, calling upon the public to protect the cause of Justice. The out come was a call for a mass meeting, to be held tonight in 'Dreamland pa vilion. While moderation was counselled by all the speakers, there were at the out set unmistakable expressions of hostil ity to the courts and predictions that Haas would not lack aid in his de fense. Former Mayor James D. Phelan charged directly that the crime must have been inspired. Rudolph Spreckles, the millionaire banker who financed the prosecution of the supervisors and Ruef, and has been in frequent attendance at the trials, said: "It Is time drastic measures were used to suppress the reign of lawless ness." Attack Carefully Planned. The police are today convinced that Haas had planned carefully his at tempt upon Heney's life. In the base ment of his home are marks of numer ous bullet holes, indicating that soma person had been'firing at a target, and neighbors have been found who recall having heard reports of revolver shots at various times during the past fort night. While thirty policemen, armed with rifles, guarded the approaches to the jail during the night, there was no attempt at a demonstration reported from any quarter. Entire City Aroused. News that Heney had been shot spread like wild fire thru the city and even before extra editions of the pa pers reached the residence sections people in every walk of life hurried to swell the crowds in the downtown dis trict. Few of those in the street knew what disposition had been made of Haas, who was spirited out at the rear door of the city prison vyh'i'j the crowds stood in front, and wap'hriven by a cir cuitous route to ^jftstant county jail. Another enabled tlia officers to taka^"1' .\of the city without attra/nS [Detail* of shooting aPP 8 of this lstue-1 0JJ pag# UABSHAIiLTOWJS. IOWAa SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14 1908 ROOSEVELT IS INDIGNANT. 8ends Message to Mrs. Heney Scoring Haas and His Kind. Washington, Nov. 14.—President Roosevelt, upon learning of the at tempt made on the life of Francis J. Heney, sent telegram's to Mrs. Heney and Adolph Spreckles expressing his "horror and destation" of the deed. To Mrs. Heney he wired: "1 am inexpressibly shocked at the news of the attempted assassination of Mr. Heney and greatly relieved at the new.s this morning ttiat he is doing well and will probably recover. I hope you will accept my deep sympathy. Liko every good American, I hold your hus band in (peculiar regard for the abso lutely fearless way in which he thas at tacked and exposed •corruption with out any regard to the political or social prominence of the offender or to tlie dangerous character of the work. Your husband has taken his life in (his hands In doing this great 'task for our people, and he lis entitled to credit, esteem and, above all, to the heartiest support of all good citizen#. The infamous charac ter of 'the man who has assaulted him should add not only to the horror and destation felt for the deed, but to the determination of all decent citizens to stamp out the power of all men ofs his kind." BLIND MAN FORGER Case of Joe Kinzy Alias William Lavin, Brought to Justice at Fort Dodge, is Unique Held Under |300 Bonds. I ,'v- Special to Times-Republican. Fort Dodge, Nov. 14.—Probably the most unique forgery case coming to the atention of the local courts, was the trial of Joe Kinzy, alias William Lavin, who was arrested at Waterloo Thurs day at the request of tho local offi cers, and returned to this city yester day for trial. Kinzy, alias Lavin, Is totally blind, and his arrest for for gery comes as the result of a visit to this city the first of October, on a beg ging expedition, at which time he suc ceeded in passing a worthless check for $30 at the store of the Plymouth Cloth ing company. The man was in the city several days and being in need of some clothing, made thej necessary purchases, and claiming to be a broommaker by trade, and that he had secured employment in the local factory, presented a check for $30, drawn on the German Savings bank of Des Moines, in which he claimed to have funds subject to check. When the check Vas f£-ward ed to Des Moines, It was proteiiTtfi, top the reason the man had .rtevftr had a deposit, and the matter was called to the attention of the police department, with the result the man was traced to Waterloo, where he was arrested Thursday. When arraigned yesterday afternoon before Justice Busby, he waived the preliminary examination, and was held to the January term of the grand jury under bonds of $300. Thru failure to secure bondsmen, he was locked in the county jafl for safekeeping. HAY GO TO TOLEDO Methodist District*Conference Will Not Be Held in Montour Because of Pre valence of Diphtheria Toledo Will Accept It. Special to Times-Republican. Montour, Nov. 14.—Because of sev eral cases of diphtheria, which have developed here during the past few days, it is probable that the annual meeting of the Marshalltown district of the Methodist church, which was planned to be held here on (Dec. 1 and 2, will be held elsewhere. It is expected that the meeting will be transferred to Toledo, but a definite and official an nouncement will not be made until some lime next week. While there is not what might be termed an epidemic of diphtheria here, there are cases in several families. It has been considered best not to hold the meeting at Montour because of the possibility of contagion to those who would be entertained in the private homes. Toledo has expressed a will ingness to entertain the district meet ing if it should be transferred there. TAKES OVER ACCOUNTS. St. Louis Bank Now Third Largest in Point of Deposits. St. Louis, Nov. 14.—It is semi-of ficlally reported that the National Bank of Commerce of St. Louis has taken over the accounts, commercial and banking, of the Commonwealth Trust company, of St. Louis. The consolida tion makes the former institution the largest in point of deposits, outside of New York and Chicago. EXPLOSION INJURES FIVE. Also Causes $20,000 Property Loss on Linden, Ind., Factory. Crawfordsville, Ind., Nov. 14.—Five men were severely inured, three pos sibly fatally, today, by an explosion in the engine room of the American Mill ing. company's stock food factory at Linden, ten miles from here. The building was burned and tlie loss is $20,000. W. W. WHITE NOT CANDIDATE. Refuses to Succeed Self as Iowa United Mine Workers' President. Special to Times-Republican. Oskaloosa. Nov. 14.—W. W. White, who succeeded J. P. White as president of the Iowa X'nited Mine Workers on^ year ago. announced today that he positively would not be a candidate for re-election in December. Legislature May Acid New In stitution and Abandon One Recently Established INEBRIATE HOSPITAL A FAILURE Board of Control Reaches Conclusion State Treatment of Inebriates is Not a Success—Demand for Ruling on Marking of Presidential Ballots Basis of Contests. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Nov. 14.—The state of Iowa will have at least one more state institution before another biennial term has passed and may lose one, which is now in operation. That which Is wanted is an enebriate reformatory. The state board of control has urged before several legislatures the purchase of land on which to establish a colony for epileptics. This recommendation will be made again to the legislatura and more emphatic than ever before, and inasmuch as the state Institutions will not be greatly in need of large sums for extraordinary purposes in other directions ft is regarded as cer tain that the epileptic colony will be established. There are about 3,000 epileptics in Iowa, including those that are kept at home. Many are in poorhouses, others at the institution for feeble minded, others at the insane hospitals. Unless their ailment has led to positive insan ity they are capable of doing a. great deal of work and if they were colonized on a farm they would be able to very nearly pay their own way in life. It is planned to take nearly all of them from the* institutions and»(place them on the farm. For this purpose a farm, of at least 640 acres is wanted which would cost $64,000 or over. If the legislature should appropriate for the purchase of the land, 'the construction of buildings could be deferred. Thc/iiistl'utlon would probably be lo cated in the northern part of the state I on high ground far removed from any city. The buildings necessary would not be expensive. This would reduce the total cost of maintaining state in stitutions. The other Institution which is a source of a great deal of annoyance and trouble is the inebriate institution at Knoxville. The experiment of com pulsory cure of persons addicted with the liquor and drug habits has proved practically a failure. The number of persons actually cured °r benefited is very small. The only persons who get good results are those who volun tarily go to the institution. Those who are forced to go there by order of court are always defiant. They con spire together and many run away. For some time a serious effort has been made to recapture and Return all who go away, but this Is proving ex pensive, as the number of desertions increases all the time. It is possible that the institution will be abandoned, and certain it is that the disposition of the state is to not spend any more money there in permanent improve ments. There is strong demand for a ruling by the attorney general or the courts on the question of counting votes which were improperly marked but which were not marked for identifying purposes. This year in Iowa, for the first time, a new problem is presented. The names of president and vice pres ident candidates were placed on the ticket w'.thou* squares and many voters put crosses before their names. These ballol.i wers not counted in most in stances This forms the basis of the contest in ibe Eighth congressional district and also in the Marlon repre sentative district and Mahaska sena torial d:?i!lct. It is very evident that where voters marked in front of Taft or Bryan it., was not for identifying purposes and should not be so consid ered, but the only way to have it set tled Is to take it into the courts. tt Senator Bleakly is in the city look ing over the distribution of plums at his disposal. It is not generally known that the office of state auditor has a much larger force than any other of fice in the state and the positions are excellent ones. There is, an impres sion out that the new state auditor will Insist that every member of his force be a lifelong republican and an avowed standpatter. The criticism he has had for having not always re mained with the party will thus In part be offset. The Investigation which will follow the Garrison disbarment 'proceedings here is likely to bring to light a whole lot of interesting matter relative to real estate and law methods as con ducted here. Garrison, it seems, had se cured the reopening of a case In Ari zona! involving the Des Moines Land company, by filing an affidavit which accused George Wumbaugh with cer tain irregularities. This is where the trouble started. In the correspondence which has been filed in the case there are accusations of exorbitant fees charged by lawyers and of the looting of the company. Only hints are given of some big matters and the lawyers arS anticipating some racy evidence. Old Firm to Retire. 1 Toledo, O., Nov. 14.—Reynolds Brothers, ona of the oldest grain firmi of Toledo, today announced their Im mediate retirement from business. LABOR COMMITTEES REPORT. American Federation Goes on Record on Several Questions. Denver, Nov. 14—At the opening ses sion today of the convention of the American Federation of Labor the com mittee on rules made a partial report, and a number of resolutions reported were favorably adopted. Among the resolutions adopted were: Protesting against sending booll bind ing work out of this country, as has been done by some public libraries endorsing the principles of the na tional civil service Ia\v. favoring the passage of some suitable retirement law, supporting remedial legislation in congress for better hours and pay for postal clerks pledging assistance to jewelry workers, in placing their label on all work, and in securing an eight hour day protesting against child la bor in bands and orchestras, condemn ing seceding teamsters and all dual organizations of teamsters, and seat ing operative plasterers and granting them a charter. HASTEN LAMPHERE TRIAL Effort Beiifg Made to Fnish It Before Thanksgiving. La Porte, Ind.. Nov. 14.—For the purpose of 'taking advantage of every opportunity so as to finish the trial of Ray Lamphere before Thanksgiving, sessions of the La Porte circuit court were held today. Prosecutor Smith is well satisfied with the progress made yesterday. Dr. J. L. Gray, who yester day testified that in his opinion the cause of the death of the adult fe male body found in the ruins was as phyxia, resumed the witness stand. On cross-examination, he described in de tail 'the symptoms and conditions pres ent where death was occasioned by strychnine, and where it was caused by suffocation.

SALOON CRUSADE ON w?,- Anti-Saloon League to Put Fighting Committee of 300 Men Into Field to Drive Safoour-From D»* Moinea. Odds Favor Pennsylvania. Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. —Despite the fact that the betting odds were in favor of Pennsylvania, Michigan's hopes of victory in this afternoon's foot ball game with Pennsylvania'3 eleven, were high when the gates of Fejrry field were thrown open. These hopes were based to a considerable ex tent upon the kicking ability of Half back Allerdice, and the powerful play ing of Captain Schultz, Michigan's center. To offset Schultz's strength and skill, Pennsylvania brought four avail able centers, so there might be a fresh antagonist facing the Michigan captain thruout the game. Preliminary predic tions were that it would be an open game, with/ much punting and use of the forward pass and trick plays. Pennsylvania scored a touchdown on Michigan, and kicked goal. The score: First half—Pennsylvania, 6 Michi gan, 0. Harvard-Dartmouth Even Draw. Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 14.—All roads led to the Harvard stadium' today, where nearly 40,000 persons had pro cured seats to witness the annual foot ball match between Harvard and Dart mouth. It was difficult to foretell the winner of today's contest. Neither team had been defeated this year, but each had been played to a tie. and with possibly the. exception of one or two men on each, the players are in excellent fighting trim. j^V-niS -•'Viittov-'v-J.* 7c K.1&1JLLE.T1N. a?

Des Moines, NoV. 14.—Superintendent Barber, of the anti-saloon league, is organizing a fighting committee of 300 men to try and drive the saloons from Des Moines by the use of the initiative In the Des Moines plan of city govern ment. This means a special election to instruct the council to grant no more resolutions of consent. Barber takes this action because of the timidity of the ministerial association to take up the matter, and it .is likely to result in a split among the ministers.

Dodge Turns Letter Over to the Police THREAT OF INCENDIARISM Family of J. P. Nestlebush Said to Be Terrified, Tho He is Not, and Eldest Son Stands Guard at Night Live at Deloit, Small Village Near Deni- Special to Times-Republican. Fort Dodge. Nov. 14—"Stop talking Bryanism or be burned out." The above is the substance of a let ter which has been received by J. P. Nestlebush, traveling representative of the Diamond Crystal Salt company, and formerly a resident of Fort Dodge. Mr. NAtlebush recently moved from this city to Deloit, a small village six miles north of Denison, in the belief he would be better able to look after his trade from that point. The letter was received the latter part of October, but Mr. Nestlebush had refrained from making the same public, in the belief the guilty party would be discovered. However, today he placed the matter in the hands of the federal authorities, and hopes are entertained that an arrest will be made in the next day or two, altho there is nothing in the letter whereby a clew can be secured to wftrlf on, the letter being written on ordinary ps.per with a lead pencil. Nestlebush is a great ad mirer of Mr. Bryan, having been em ployed on the Omaha Workl-Herald at the same time the Great Commoner was associated with that paper, and in the little country village he has not hesitated to express his good opinion of the democratic candidate for tho presidency. Ordinarily. Deloit is a liotbed of democracy, and is peopled with a people of ordinary intelligence and a respect for the law. However, since removing to that village, Mr. Nestlebush has been active in improv ing the morftls of the community, and as a result he has received the anony mous letter. Mrs. Nestlebush and the children, of whom there are five, arc scared to a point of almost leaving the town, and the eldest son is said to stand guard at nights with a loaded rifle awaiting the coming of the threatened incen diaries. Nestlebush says he believes he knows the guilty parties, and will give $100 in cash if the sender of the letter will stand before him and say he is the guilty party, and he also promises he will not ask the authorities to inter cede either. The matter has caused a great deal of comment In the territory covered by Mr. Nestlebush, since the same was made public, and there is no end of speculation as to who the-guHty party is. Those who fixe acquainted with Mr. Nestlebush have no fear that he will be scared by the threatening missive, as he is a man of strong convictions, and will not be apt to put a bridle on his utterances, even tho threat of a personal encounter. It is to be hoped the guilty party will be discovered and punished. AFTER SLATER THIEVES. Standing Reward of $50 Offered for Ar rest and Conviction. Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican. Iowa Fails, Nov. 14.-—Because he was s.ble to show the jury that he had "snake juice" in the keg instead of boo/.e, Ting Fong Lee, a Chinese laun dry man of this city, was acquitted of conducting a nuisance in this city, and is once more a free man. But the story af "snake juice" contains an interest ing tale of celestial faith and supersti tion. It was claimed in the evidence brought against Lee when he was in dieted and arraigned in the district court, that he had been dispensing ard ents to sundry lovers of booze In this city. He did not deny that some con genial spirits had sampled the contents of his keg, which was supposed by the^ officers of the law to contain aimon pure whisky, but his contention was that it was medicine, and he proceeded to prove to the court and the jury that the kag contained a celebrated Chinese remedy for rheumatism. He had bought a snake in the Flow ery Kingdom, at a cost of $11. This snake was of a peculiar species, and had been killed and cured after the true method in the celestial empire. When received here, he bought a keg of whisky and placed the dried snake therein, it being the belief of Lee and his brethren that the snake drove away all the evil spirits in the whisky and was a panacea for all kinds of rhreu matisin. He protested that he kept the keg with the s.iake in soak therein for purely medicinal purposes, and to convince the jury, the snake in ques tion was produced In court. That set tled it with the jury, and Lee was ac quitted. Clear Lake Pastor Resigns. Special to Times-RepuDlican.

PES" JL fsi -'-it Minnesota Bankers Have Plan to Protect Their De positors. AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTION District Associations, Incuding Country Banks, Adopt the Idea California Already Has Successful System in Operation Minneapolis Idea. •Minneapolis, Nov. 14.—Within two months there will be in operation among- the country banks of Minnesota a new plan for the protection of bank deposits. It is a plan devised by bank ers instead of by politicians, and those who are fathering it firmly believe that it ivill actually achieve all the benefic ial^results which were promised by the advocates of the bank guarantee scheme. Thruout the recent campaign, plans for the new idea have been quietly carried forward. W. D. Willard, cashier of the First National bank of Mankato, was In 5(1 In neapolis yesterday. He is chairman of a committee appointed last spring by the bankers of the Second congression al district of Minnesota to organize the banks in that district for the operation of an independent system of examina tion along the line of that now in oper ation in the twin cities. Sickness in the committee has delayed its work to some extent, but it Is probable that the first of the new year will see the independent bank examination under way in the Second district. Banks Are Protected. The banks, of the twinj cities were among the firfet in the country to adopt the plan of having an independent ex amination ,and this has been in opera tion since Feb. 1, 1906, In charge of P. M. Kers.t, former state public examiner. There are seven strong district groups of banks -outside the twin cities and It is believed that the plan of the Second district will be adopted by all of them within a short time. Simultaneously Avith the appointment of the) committee by the second .dis trict bankers in Minnesota, the same plan was being discussed by California bankers, resulting there in the forma tion of the Californlal State Clearing House association. The methods followed in the organi sation and operation of this.pioneer as sociation will probably be largely fol lowed In Minnesota. '.Y In California. California was divided into eleven districts, and the banks in each dis trict held meetings and elected dis trict committees and each district se lected a representative to a central board. This board convened, and after careful consideration adopted a con stitution, which forms the working basis of the California State Clearing House association. The purpose of this California asso ciation is set forth in an extract from its constitution, which reads: The objects of this association are: To improve and strengthen the banking system of this state to prevent im proper or unsafe conduct upon the part of any bank within the state to pro vide a system of thorough and com plete examinations into the affairs of every banking corporation or individ ual banker belonging to this associa tion by expert examiners, and generally to safeguard the common interests of the banks and the public. Failure Creates Unrest. A bank faJJune not only creates un rest and shatters the confidence of the people, but it temporarily eliminates the liquid assets of a great number. Business enterprises are upset, and a whole community is. demoralized. While the individual depositor suffers direct ly, the burden of every failure is thrown upon the solvent banks of the community. It is to obviate this that the bank ers are combining for their own pro tection, and In protecting themselves they are offering the greatest protec tion to the public. The projected system of examina tions will be so thorough that it will be practically impossible for a bank to dissipate its assets sufficiently to in jure depositors before it is checked by the examiners. Every bank in the state is eligible to membership in the asso ciation, but only those which can sat isfactorily pass the most rigid exam ination of their affairs may retain .lembership.

Magness, who married Miss Ada Gorman, daughter of the late Senator Gorman of Mary land, was tried before a court martial tribunal at the Philadelphia navy yard. The government, after proving that Magness did not report after the ex piration of a leave of absence which had been granted to him, rested its case. Magness was the chief witness in his own behalf and he admitted that he overstayed his leave of absence, but he asserted he had no idea of deserting. In his testimony he said that he had thought of engaging in business In Louisville and that the money he had in his possession when arrested had been given him by his wife. The findings of the court will be sent to the secretary of the navy at Wash ington. SMUGGLING PLOT REVEALED. Wreck of Boat Reveals Scheme to Get Chinamen Over the Border. Buffalo, Nov. 13.—The drowning of six Chinamen yesterday when a motor boat was wrecked revealed a smug gling scheme. The four survivors were rescuod by the crew of a police boat. The three white men escaped, and the federal authorities and local detective k'orce are scouring the city endeavoring to round up men suspected of being engaged in the smuggling of Chinamen into this country from Canada. At first it was supposed the white men perished, but from one of the sur viving Chinamen it was learned that they succeeded in clambering over the slippery rocks and fled, leaving the Chinamen to their fate. The statement of an elevator watch man that a second motor boat left tho shore side of the breakwall just ibefore dawn is a clew upon which the au thorities are now working and which may lead to arrests. Mock Quong, one of the rescued Chinamen, speaks fairly good English which he learned in a South Bend Ind., Sunday school'class. He told the immigration inspectors that the ten Chinamen left Toronto a week ago and had been lodged in a barn on the Canadian side of the lake opposite Buffalo, awaiting a favorable opportun ity to make a landing in the United States. JOKED HIMSELF IN. How "Private" John Allen Got Himself Elected to Congress. Here Is Champ Clark's defense of humor, if it needs one: "The dry-as-dusts solemnly assev erate that humor never did any good Now, let's see. How did Trivate* John Allen of Mississippi get to congress? Joked himself in. One bit of humor sent him to Washington, national lawmaker. Opposing him for the con gressional nomination was tbe Confed erate General Tucker. They met on the stump. General Tucker closed one of his speeches as follows: 'Seventeen years ago tonight, my fellow citizens, after a hard fought battle on yonder hill, I bivouacked un der yonder clump of trees. Those of you wbo remember as I do the times that tried men's souls will not, I hope, forget their humble servant when the primaries shall be held.' "That was a strong appeal In those days, but John raised the general at his own game. 'My fellow citizens,' he said, 'what General Tucker says to you about bivouacking under yonder clump of trees is true. It is also true, my fellow citizens, that I ,was a vedette picket and stood guard over him while he slept. Now, then, fellow citizens, all you who were generals and had privates to stand over you while yon slept vote for General Tucker, and all of you who were prirates and stood guard over the generals while they slept vote for Private John Allen.' The people caught on, took John at bis word and sent him to congress, where he stayed until the world was filled with his renown." Aid For the Explorer. "Peary," said a geographer of Chica go, "never started on one of his explor ing expeditions without receiving by mail and express all sorts of packages from cranks—cowhide underwear, tea tablets, medicated boots and what not.

A I mmmm liUNTING THE WHITE-TAILED DEER BY THEODORE ROOSEVELT [Copyright, 1885, by Q. P. Putnam's Bon*. Published under arrangement with G. P. Putnam's Sans, New York and London.] NE afttrnoon, while most of us were away from the ranch-house, one of the cowboys, riding in from hiB day's outing over the range, brought word that he hnd sfeen two white-tail deer, a buck and a doe, feeding with some cattle on the side of a hill across tbe river, and not much more than half a mile from tbe house. There was about an hour of daylight left, and one of the foremen, a tall, fine-looking fellow named Ferris, the best rider on the ranch,, but not an un usually good shot, started out at once after the deer. Ferris found the deer easily enough, but they started before be could get a standing shot at tbem. and when he fired as they ruu. he only broke one of the buck's hind legs, just above tbe ankle. He followed it In the snow for several miles, across the river, and down near the house to the end of the bottom, and then back to ward the house. The buck was a cun ning old beast, keeping in the densest cover, and often doubling back on his trail and sneaking off to one side as bis pursuer passed by. Finally it grew too dark to see the tracks any longer, and Ferris came home. Next morning early we went out to where he had left the trail, feeling very sure from his description of the place (which was less than a mile from the house) that we would get the buck for when he had abandoned the pursuit the deer was in a copse of bushes and young trees some hundreds of yards across, and in this it had doubtless spent the night. When we got to the thicket we first made a circuit round it to see if the wounded animal had broken cover, but though there were fresh deer tracks leading both in and out of it. none of them were made by a cripple so we knew he was still within. After work ing some little time we hit on the right trail, finding where tbe buck had turned into the thickest growth. While Ferris followed carefully in on the track^. I stationed myself farther on toward the outside, knowing that the buck would In all likelihood start up wind. In a minute or two Ferris came on the bed where he had passed the night, and which he had evidently Just left a shout Informed me that the game was on foot, and immediately afterward the crackling and snapping of tbe branches were heard as the deer rushed through them. I ran as rapidly and quietly as possible to ward the place where the sounds seem ed to indicate that he would break cover, stopping under a small tree. A minute afterward he appeared, some thirty yards off on the edge of the thicket, and halted for a second to look round before going into the open. Only his hqad and autlers were visible above the bushes which hid from view the rest of his body. He turned his Each took an antler, and the body slipped along very easily. head sharply toward me as I raised the rifle, and the bullet went fairly into his throat, just under the jaw, breaking his neck, and bringing him down in his tracks with hardly a kick. He was a fine buck of eight points, unusually fat, considering that the rutting season was just over. We dressed it at once, and. as the house was so near, determined we would drag it there over the snow ourselves, without going back for a horse. Each took an antler, and tbe body slipped along very easily, but so intense was the cold that we had to keep shifting sides all the time, the hand which grasped the horn becoming numb al most Immediately. When not much molested white-tail feed in the evening or late afternoon but if often shot at and chased they only come out at night They are very partial to the water, and in the warm summer nights will come down into the prairie ponds and stand knee-deep in tbem, eating the succulent marsh plants. Most of the plains rivers flow through sandy or muddy beds with no vegetable growth, and to these, of course, the deer merely come down to drink or, refresh tbeinselyes by bath- f\\\f ftfmremtter 14 1 yu& tag, as they contain nothing to eat At times the white-tail will lie s( close that it may almost be trodden on One June morning I was riding down along tho river, and came to a long bottom, crowded with rose-bushes, all in bloom. It was crossed in every di rection by cattle pntiis, and a drove of long-horned IVxans were scattered over It. A cow-pony gets accustomed to travelling at speed along the cattle trails, and the one I bestrode threaded Its way among the twisted narrow paths with perfect ease, loping rapidly onward through a sea of low rose bushes, covered with the sweet, piuk flowers. They gave a bright, color to the whole plain, while the air was filled with the rich, full songs of the yellow-breasted meadow larks, as they perched on the topmost sprays of the little trees. Suddenly a white-tail doe sprang up almost from under the horse's feet, and scudded off with her white flag flaunting. There was no reason for harming her. and she made a pretty picture as she bounded lightly off among tin* rose-red flowers, pass ing without heed through the ranks of the long-horned and savage-looking steers. Doubtless she had a little spotted fawn not far away. These wee fel lows soon after birth grow very cun ning and able to take care of them selves, keeping in the densest part of the brush, through which they run and dodge like a rabbit. If taken young they grow very tame and are most dainty pets. One which we had round the house answered well to its name. It was at first fed with milk, which it lapped eagerly from a saucer, shar ing the meal with the two cats, who rather resented its presence and cuff ed it heartily when tbey thought it was greedy and was taking more than its share. As it grew older it would eat bread or potatoes from our bands, and was perfectly fearless. At night it was let go or put In the cow-shed, whichever was handiest, but it was generally round In time for breakfast next morning. A blue ribbon with a bell attached was hung round Its neck, so as to prevent its being shot but in the end it shared the fate of all pets, for one night it went off and never came back again. ,Only once have I ever killed a white tail buck while hunting on horseback and at that time I bad been expecting to fall in with black-tall. This was while we had been making a wagon trip to the westward follow ing the old ICeogh trail, which was made by the heavy army wagons that journeyed to Fort Keogli in the old days when the soldiers were, except a few daring trappers, the only white men to be seen 011 the last great hunt ing-ground of the Indians. 1 abandoned as a military route several years ago, and is now only rarely travelled over, either by the canvas topped ranch-wagon of some wander ing cattlo-men—like ourselves—or else by a small party of emigrants, in two or three prairie schooners, which con tain all their household goods. Never theless, it is still as plain and distinct as ever. Tbe two deep parallel ruts, cut into the sod by the wheels of the heavy wagon, stretch for scores of miles in a straight line across the level prairie, and take great turns and doublings to avoid the impassable por tions of the Bad Lands. The track is always perfectly plain, for in the dry climate of the western plains the ac tion of the weather tends to preserve rather than to obliterate it where it leads downhill, the snow water has cut and widened tho ruts into deep gullies, so that a wagon has at those places to travel alongside the road. From any little rising in the prairie the road can be seen a long way off, as a dark line, which, when near, re solves itself Into two sharply defined parallel cuts. On the trip in question we had at first very bad weather. Leaving the ranch in tbe morning, two of us, who were mounted, pushed on ahead to hunt, the wagon following slowly, with a couple of spare saddle ponies leading behind it. Early in the afternoon, while riding over the crcst of a great divide, which separates the drainage basins of two important creeks, we saw that a tremendous storm was brewing with that marvellous rapidity which is so marked a characteristic of weather Changes on the plains. We spurred hard to get but of the open, riding with loose reins for the crdek. The center of the storm swept by behind us, fairly across our track, and we only got a wipe from the tail of it. Yet this itself we could not have faced in the open. The first gust caught us a few hundred yards from the creek, almost takiug us from the saddle, and driving the rain and hail in stinging level sheets against us. We galloped to the edge of a deep wash-out. scram bled into it at the risk of our necks '+s r.vr horses under Guar®1! SBi! oeath the wlndwald bank. Hen we re mained pretty well sheltered until the storm was over. Although it wm Au gust, the -air became very cold. The wagon was fairly caught, and would have been blown over if the top had been on the driver and horses escaped without injury, pressing under the lee ward side, the storm coming so level that tbey did not need a roof to protect them from the hail. Where the center of the whirlwind struck It did great damage. The wagon came on to the creek, along whose banks we had taken shel ter, and we then went into camp. It rained all night, and there was a thick mist, with continual sharp showers, all the next day and night The wheeling was. In consequence, very heavy, and after striking the Keogb trail, we were able to go along it but a few miles before the fagged-out look of the team and the approach of even ing warned us that we should have to go into camp while still a dozen miles from any pool or spring. Accordingly we made what would have been a dry camp bad It not been for the Inces sant down-pour of rain, which wo gathered in the canvas wagon-shecf The bright-colored patch disappeared. and in our oilskin overcoats in suffi cient quantity to make coffee, having with infinite difficulty' started a smouldering fire Just to leeward of the wagon.

Our shaps and oil skins bad kept us perfectly dry, and as soon as our frugal supper was over, we colled up among the boxes and bundles Inside the wagon and slept soundly till daybreak. When the sun rose next day, tbe third we were out, the sky was clear, and we two horsemen at once pre pared to make a hunt Some thre miles off to the south of where we were camped, the plateau on which we were sloped off into a great ex panse of broken ground, with chains upoii chains of steep hills, separated by deep valleys, winding and branch ing In every direction, their bottoms filled with trees and brushwood. To ward this place we rode, intending to go Into it some little' (Jlstance, and then to hunt along through it near tbe edge. As soon as we got down near the brushy ravine we rode along without talking, guiding the horses as far as possible on earthy places, where they would neither stumble nor strike their feet against stones, and not letting our rifle barrels or spurs clink against any thing. Keeping outside of the brush, a JIttle up the side of the bill, one of us would ride along each side of the ravine, examining intently with our eyes every clump of trees or brush wood. For some time we saw nothing, but, finally, as we were riding both to gether round the Jutting spur of a steep hill, my companion suddenly brought his horse to a halt, and point ing across the shelving bend to a patch of trees well up on the opposite side of a broad ravine, asked me if I did not see a deer in it I was off the horse in a second, throwing the reins over his head. We were in the phadow of the cliff-shoulder, and with the wind In our favor so we were unlikely to be observed by the game. 1 looked long and eagerly toward the spot indicated, which was about a hundred and twen ty-five yards from us, but at first could see nothing. By this time, however, the experienced plainsman wbo was with me was satisfied that he was right in his supposition, and he told me to try again and look for a patch of red. I saw the patch at once, just glimmering through the bushes, but should certainly never have dreamed it was a deer if left to myself. Watch ing it attentively I soon saw It move enough to satisfy me where the head lay kneeling on one knee and (as It was a little beyond point-blank range) holding at the top of the portion vis ible, I pulled trigger, and the bright colored patch disappeared from among the bushes.

This information is important. Analyzed it means that a cut of 5 cents 3,380 on illuminating gas plus 5 per cent off 1,672 on electric lights' would cut their net 320 revenue $2,500: that in the year 1910 a 178 cut of 5 cents on both illuminating and 3 fuel gas would cut their net revenues 3,441 1,637 321 180 3 1,804 1,300 1.70S 1,207 3,438 ...3,388 ...3,367 1,589 1,531 1.543 Weaver's plurality Jjadd's plura.l-ity 1,857 Evans' plurality 1,824 ,$•2,500 more, or a total of $5,000 and that every time gas rates go down 5 cents thereafter the net revenues fall $2,300 "based on the present busi ness." When the books of the company shall have been shown to the council it wilt appear that the net revenues of thi9 1,849 1 business under a policy which would have produced dry rot In any other business, have been sufficient to sus tain a franchise value approximating half of the total rear value of the property. In other words that they can stand a cut. of one-third "based upon present business," before they cease to earn on actual values.

To glance at the interior of the fine passenger' station a stranger might imply that he was at a cross roads village rather than a progres sive city. The air of neglect is appar ent in every' quarter, despite the fact that the building is owned by a cor poration that has the reputation of be ing the finest railroad in the great west. The sign of "Don't spit on the Tiinea-He^whlidw IXlaxsteiltxmm, .fxntfa. concession would be the $2,500 cut on electric lights. But again by analysis, we all know that the- consumption of Illuminating gas is so small as to affect the com putations immaterially. The big bus iness is in electric lighting and fuel gas. We have the company's admis sion that 5 per cent off on electric lights plus 5 cents off on illuminating gas reduces ly venues $2,500 and that 5 cents off on fuel gas amounts to the same as 5 per cent on electricity. We also have the company's willingness to cut revenues $10,000 flve# years from now. Why hot make a counter propo sition to even the thing up a little better by putting into effect imme diately the gas rates which the company offers as fair iri 19-14 with a further reduction of 5 cents three years from now and 5 cents five years I from now? These last reductions Linn and Taylor Hold Record for Not would no more than equal the decrease in cost of production as the total send out increased.

Figuring the per cap Ita indebtedness, however, and making a comparison, is of little real value, without showing the value of the'prop erty on which taxes are paid, the pop ulation, assets and assessment. In oth er words a city with a larger popula tion, having more taxable property, and more municipal assets, is able to stand a greater indebtedness than the smaller city. Hence there is no good compari son obtainable unless more figures are shown relative to what the city owns ancl derives from taxes. If a town known to be smaller, and with less property and assets, shows a larger indebtedness than a larger town, then the illustration of indebtedness) is of more force. In this respect Marssall town shows up to advantage in the comparison. An English Author wrote: "No ^liade. no sliine, no fruit, no flowers, no leaves—November!"
