DEPOSITS OF SOLDIERS
Have Greatly Increased During
 the Past Year.
The Paymaster General Recom- mends That the System of With
 holding Pay Be Abolished.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-Paymaster General Smith, in his annual report to the secretary of war, calls attention to the fact that soldiers deposits have in- creased $79, ,5S2 during the year, grat- flying increase in view of the fact that the deposits had been falling off in the preceding years and of the further fact that a soldier with a deposit account rarely leaves the service without an honorable discharge.
 The paymaster general questions the beneficial effect of the system of with holding portion of the soldiers pay until he is discharged. The travel al lowance of the soldier is ample to take hlm home when discharged, and 1t is not necessary to withhold pay for that purpose.
 Any system which makes soldier dependent detracts from his manhood and efficiency. Many men enlist. be- ing told their pay was SIS per month. only to find that through reductions on account of clothing and withheld pay two or three months must elapse before he can receive any pay. He regards this as breach of contract and deserts. Therefore 1t is recommended that the system, which is cumbersome, com plicated and obsolete, be abolished.

A JUST JUDGE. Justice Morrow of San

And They Must Be Respected
 By the Authorities.
The Collector of Customs is Not an Autocrat Who Can Sit and Pass
 Judgment Upon Chinamen.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15. = United States District Judge Morrow rendered sn important decision today defining the power of collectors of customs as judges of the rights of Chinese seeking admission to this country.
 The local collector of customs insisted that the law gave him the exclusive authority to pass judgment in cases of all Chinese seeking admission. In the case of Tom Yum. passenger on tho steamer Gaelic, who claimed to be ana tive born citizen of California and as such claimed the right to land, Col lector Wise held an investigation and decided that the Chinaman's claims te citizt nship were fraudulent. He, therefore, refused to allow Tom Yum to land.
 Habeas corpus was resorted to by the Chinese. Judge Morrow holds that the jurisdiction of the collectors of customs is limited to cases of aliens and that in cases of American citizens, or persons claiming citizenship. the collector is without authority to finally or con- clusively pass upon their right to come into this country. The case Of Tom Yum is accordingly referred to the United States commissioner to take evidence and pass upon the Chinaman's claim to citizenship.

 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 15.-An ab- solute and glaring fraud perpetrated on the tally sheets used in the recent cleo tion was today unearthed in the office of the recorder of votes.

 The find verifies the allegations made by Jamieson and Sloan, Republicans, that the offices of prosecuting attorney and county marshal, to which they were elected, were deliberately stolen from them and given to Brimmerman and Keshler, Democrats.
 Great tconsternation was caused among politicians by the discovery and start ling developments may be expected within the next week.

 As the express train pulled out of that village this forenoon, he grabbed a rod under one of the cars and success fully swung underneath and found Judgement upon brake beam.
 When the train slowed up in Wash ington, near the Sacramento river bridge, he concluded to alight and walk into the city. He grabbed the side rod firmly and tried to swing from under the car. but one of his feet caught upon a cross piece and the other struck the ground. The train had by this time again resumed it's fast speed, and as it came laundering into the depot the people were mortified to see a man be- ing dragged along upon the ground, in momentary danger of losing his hold and being ground to pieces under the ponderous and astrevolving wheels.
 As soon as the train came to a stand still Wagner let go his hold and fell to the ground. Several men rushed to his assistance and picked him up. It was found that his left ankle was broken and that the bones protruded through the flesh. The injured man was taken to the receiving hospital. where he was treated by City Physician Fowler.
