SPANISH SOLDIERS PAY,
They Are Defrauded of Their Small
Mare.

Spanish army accounts are strangely
and wonderfully made. From their alb
Sence of eXactneSS and disregard of all
detail one would certainly be led to be-
lieve that the office has very few clerks
in its employ. A certain amount of
money is allowed to each regiment and
charged in gross to the colonel, who is
solely responsible for it's disbursement
According to an explanation made re-
Gently by the marquis of Montoro. sec
rotary of the treasury in Havana, this
lump sum of money covers the entire
expenses of the regiment, from uni
forms and equipment to soldiers pay
| Each regimental colonel is his own
| bookkeeper and paymaster. He prac-
tcally sells to his soldiers at his own
| price everything that they have while
| they are in the service of Spain. The
| pay of common soldier is about So in
| gold per month. Against this is charged
Whatever he wishes to buy. For exam
| pie. suppose a soldier needs a pair of
| shoes, he makes his wants known to his
colonel, who hands him a pair and
takes SO or 81 out of his wages. The
shoes may not have cost the colonel
more than $1.50, which he paid out of
the regimental funds. Out of one of
his own men, who has left home and
family and everything for his country
he has made 100 per cent. by turning
| over government ca pital.
When the time for final settlement
comes the soldier is quietly told that
there is nothing to his credit on the
books of the regiments that his great
and good government has taken care
of him for three years and has allowed
him the privilege of fighting for it. and
that if he doesn't have a proper sense
of gratitude he is base traitor, who
isn't worthy to be called a Spaniard an
| argument which has heretofore worked
very well. But this is not all the trou-
bic. Each regiment is charged with a
considerable sum of money for hospital
services, and the colonel deducts pro-
portlonate percentage from each SOL
dier's pay for that purpose. Another
percentage is deducted for what, in
, Spanish bookkeeping, is called Incl
} dentals. "-Chicago Post

AN EXTRA SESSION
Will Be Called if the Army Bill Is Not
Passed.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The president
has conveyed assurances to some of
the party leaders in congress in addition
to those given last week that he will
certainly call congress together in extra
session if it fails to pass the army re-
organization bill at the present session.
In answer to inquiry the administration
has been obliged to decline all PROPOSE
tons looking to the tiding over of the
needs of the army by passing a joint
resolution simply extending the appro
priation on the basis of the present CIR
ganization, holding that this device
would be utterly inadequate to meet
the absolute necessities of the case The
status of the volunteers would, it is
said, be extremely unsatisfactory and
there would be absolutely no assurance
that the president could retain them in
service, even when the emergency is
great. The same statement would APP
ply to the regular army soldiers who en-
listed for the war. A very serious OBJ
lection to the joint resolution pro-
gramme, too. according to the war de-
partment officials would be its failure
to supply the staff and line officers alb
solutely needed. These officials say the
pending Hull bill provides for Just 1922
original appointments of second lieuten-
ants and it is declared to be the policy
to divide these appointments between
the states and territories on the basis of
the population. Reports from the sem
ate end of the capitol convey the i'm
preston to the officials that the speed
lest way to secure action upon the re-
organization bill is to allow the Cock
rell bill to be reported from the military
committee, it being understood that this
bill commands the support of the ma
jority of that committee, providing as
it does for purely native soldiery in
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
The measure is looked upon by the war
department officials as most unsatisfac-
tory. Therefore they have urged their
friends in the senate, while allowing this
bill to be reported from the committee,
to move the adoption of the Hull bill as
it came from the house as substitute.

MULE SEASON HAS OPENED,
Tens of Thousands Now Bound for TIL,
Atlantic Market

Atlantic Market.
A special correspondent to the New
York Sun from Atlanta, Ga, says:
Crack, Pop! Pow, Ho-ee, ho-ee."
The clatter of hoofs on the slippery Bel
gian blocks sounds like a squadron of
cavalry on the charge, and down the
broad street comes roughly clad rIuer
mounted on a gray horse and at his
heels troop of sorrel, bay, brown
black, dun and mouse-c olored mules,
followed by the other wild riders in a
gallop, cracking their long whips and
uttering the peculiar cry of the mule
driver.
The mule season has opened At all
hours of the day the same spectacle is
repeated, for this is the great point of
distribution of mules for several states
The mules, from three to four years
old, are shipped by tens of thousands
from the rich grain fields and grazing
lands of Indiana. Kentucky and west
ern Tennessee by the stock dealers and
are put on the market. Planters, lum-
bermen, turpentine operators and con-
tractors in railroad building congre-
gate here from all points, and from
about the middle of January until
March is the busy time in the mule
trade. To observe the many droves,
one naturally wonders where they all
go, but they are disposed of in some
way, and many wild unbroken mule

will soon be wearing the shuck collar

on the treaty. as he did not represent
them exclusively.
At 1850 p. m. the senate went into
executive session and at its conclusion
an open session was held. in order to
give Mr.. Carter an opportunity to get
consideration for a bill providing tor
code of laws for Alaska. He made
request for unanimous consent for a
night session to consider the bill. He
suggested that the bill could be passed
as The bill providing for the revised
statutes was, without reading. This
suggestion brought out objections from
Senators Hale, Gallinger and Bate, all
of whom argued that such proceeding
would be a bad precedent. Mr.. Hale
objected to the consideration of the bill
and refused to give his consent to the
reading of the bill; saying it was a
document of over 600 pages, and it
would crowd appropriation and other
important matters aside. Mr.. Carter
said he had no purpose of displacing
the appropriation measures and no de-
sire to do so.
Mr.. Tfllman objected to the request
of Mr.. Carter. unless an arrangement
could be made to have ample time to
discuss the anti-scalping bill
Mr.. Chandler said he was anxious to
discuss the bill called "A ticket broker
age BILL" which he declared was a
measure of monopoly against competi-
tion.
Mr.. Culom chairman of the inter
state commerce committee, expressed
doubt that the anti-scalping bill could
be voted on at this session. He would
be glad, he said, to have a vote upon
it, but saw little prospect of one.
Mr.. Tilman-I want to say now that
that bill (anti-scalpers) cannot pass at
this session.
After some further discussion, Mr..
Carter, seeing no opportunity for an
agreement, moved an adjournment,
which was taken at $50 p. m.

EDITORS ON THE BENCH.
How Massachusetts Judges Blue Pencil
the Newspapers.

the Newspapers.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
For the last few months the Massa-
chusetts courts have been giving their
particular attention to the newspapers
which published reports of trials before
them. The judges have scrutinized
with severe eyes the court reports in
Guiding the display" headlines and the
accompanying comments on the editor
ial pages. A Boston editor was i'm
prisoned for contempt of court in pub
fishing running notes on the subject
of a trial in which a railroad engineer
was charged with criminal negligence
in connection with disaster to his
train. The editor did not get out Of
Jail until he had purged himself Of the
contempt by publishing an amply apol-
ogy to the judge presiding at the trial.
Worcester judge assessed a fine of
500 each against two newspapers which
barely stated the alleged facts in a
trial for damages in his court. The
statement was said to be colored in
such a way that it might have affect
ed the minds of the jurors.
The most recent case of a newspaper
fine is that of the Boston Herald,
which published reports of trial in
the superior court of that city in which
contractors for city teaming were
charged with fraud It is said to have
been a very clear case and the public
had no doubt that the defendants would
be convicted. The testimony was so
conclusive that the news editor placed
over column of sensational matter the
headline Guilt is Evident" Judge
Bond, before whom the case was on
trial. read the newspapers report and
summoned the publishers to his official
presence. He announced that he con-
sidered the BLACK" headline prejudicial
to the administration of justice. dis
charged the jury in the case, ordered a
new trial and fined the publisher $500.
The Massa chusetts judges have gone
back a generation or two in finding an
Interpretation of the law of criminal
contempt of court. They are far behind
the age. 1t is intolerable that judicial
officer should exercise the duties of
press censor, with power to fine and
imprison publishers for printing the
news of the courts with proper COM
ments. No other department Of the
government is exempt from public crit
icism and no other officer of the gov
eminent makes himself accuser, wit
ness, judge in the case and executioner
to carry into effect the sentence of his
court. Progress may be expected in
Massachusetts as time elapses, and then
newspaper contempt of court will be-
come obsolete with that of lese majestic
to which it is associated in modern
minds
