Oyerhauling the Accounts.

The second comptroller at Washington, in
adjusting certain accounts of pay director
in the Navy, discovered two vouchers, one
for 1927, purporting to be for $40 five-cent
foreign postage stamps, and the other $685.
purporting 10 be for photographing 30 anato-
mical specimens for the Naval Dispensary
They were both made out in the name of a
woman who is an artist, residing in Wash
ington, and were certified to and approved
by Philip S. Wales, chief of the bureau OF
medicine and surgery. The comptroller re-
ports that investigation proved that they
were both false and fraudulent, and that the
money was actually paid for two crayon por-
traits of Wales, drawn by this artist, one OF
which was hung up on the walls of the sur
geon.g generals Office at the Navy Depart
ment, and the other at his private residence.
The comptroller directed that the amount be
charged against Surgeon Wales in his account
with the government.
The comptroller has also disalowed a
charge of $141.25 for the expenses of the
committee on appropriations of the House
of Representatives, incurred while making a
visit from Washington to the United States
ship Tallapoosa, in Hampton Roads, there
having been no resolution of Congress au.
thorizing the trip to be made at government
expense.
The comptroller has also refused to allow
other claims, including one for over $1,000,
Cor ha &C in, .
tending the International Medical Congress
in London, last year, on the ground that the
War Department had no right to send DR..
Billings abroad without designating the ex-
tent of his travels.
These things show the looseness with
which the public business has been transact
ed at Washington and the great need there
is of reform and a strict accountability in the
disbursement of public funds.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad COM
pany have obtained terminal facilities at
New York. From Bound Brook, the termi-

bridge 600 feet long to Staten Island, where
they will connect with the tracks of the
Rapid Transit r. r. Co., along the north
shore of Staten Island TO St. George, the
point on the Island nearest to the CITY, Fast

Baltimore and Ohio will own more than two
miles of water front to any part of which the
largest ocean vessels can run. and in fact,
every vessel coming through the Narrows
from European ports must pass the Balti-
more and Ohio wharves.

Barrios Angry at Zaldivar.

NEW ORLEANS, March 19.-The latest
news from Guatemala represents Presi-
dent Barrlos as in frenzy of rage with
DR.. ZaldiYar, of San Salvador. He says
that, owing to many favOrs extended by
him to Zaldivar, he expected his assist
ance in the recent movement, whereas
Zaldivar, by his defiance and appeal to
Mexico, has materially interfered with
his plans. Barrios threatens TO have
settlement with Zaldivar as soon as the
relations Of Guatemala with the other
Central American States are determined,
which is construed as meaning that he
will make war on San Salvador. The
Guatemala press, in which nothing is
published except with the consent OF the
government. declares readiness to fight
the whole world. American papers have
been prohibited from going into Guate-
mala. The decree that BarriOs was to
send to the Senate, declaring war as
necessity to accomplish his ends, has not
yet been submitted to that body, and, on
account of the interference of Mexico,
probably will not be.

"A DevOut Cripple Who Did Not Move a
Muscle for Twenty-Five Years.

A Devout Cripple Who Did Not Move q
Muscle for Twenty-Nine Years.
BosTON, March 20.-A Lewiston Me. J
dispatch says that Matthew Rankins, who
died here last evening, was a cripple
whose case had attracted the attention of
physicians and scientists in all parts of
the country. He had not moved out Of
one chair by night or day for twenty-nine
years. His spine was injured by an acct
dent when ask years old, and his neck,
body, arms and legs became lifeless. He
could not move a joint in them. The only
movable joint in his frame was in one
thumb. He could not turn his head a
hairs breadth. He sat in his chair by
window and by an ingenious cOntrivance
of mirrors he was enabled to see what was
going on out of doors and in the room.
At night his chair was tipped back
little, and in this position he slept. Any
attempt to move his limbs caused him the
greatest agony. He suffered pain nearly
all the time. and everybody wonders that
he lived so long in this horrible condition.
Many prominent physicians studied his
case and gave it up as unaccountable.
He was so remarkably patient and devout
in the midst of his sutferings that he be-
came celebrated, and served as text
from which a great number of sermons
were preached by different clergymen
who visited him. He was AZ years old.
A young sister devoted her life TO taking
care of him.
