DUAL LIFE OF OAKLEY HALL
For Months He Had an Existence OF
Which He Was Wholly I'm
conscious.

Oakley Hall was once connected with
an American paper in London. His aim
here was 10 achieve high name at the
English bar. He was the son Of an Eng.
iiShmaE and therefore he was in Eng.
iish law an Englishman whenever he
chose TO declare himself. He made nc
success because he lived wholly in the
past and his mental inciiEations were
So.eiy reminiscent.

The Little Tin Box Mystery.


The DEMOCRAT of last week noted
that Sheriff AbeT, Alb Weiss and Chasj5
Zutavern had been summoned to appear
il court at Alva., Ok. last week to
testify concerning the purchase of little
tin box used for containing sewing ma
chine attachments, a set of attachments
in such box having been purchased at
the Great Bend Implement Co. here,
probably sent young burglar to the
pen.
1t seems that young man named
Lirely had been arrested, charged with
burglary. Some of the stolen goods
were found in his possession, some
jewlery being IN little tin box of the
kind described. He had been given
trial and the jury had failed to agree,
and last week he had his second trial
It had been proven that the young
mans sister. who was here last summer
and fall, had such box, and that she
had given it to him. The mother and
sister both finally swore that they had
two such boxes. They were required
to produce the second one. 1t had
been left at Great Bend. The woman
came to Great Bend. and to make their
story straight, purchased set OF fix
lures in the right kind of box, and re-
turned for the trial. The Ok. authori-
ties suspected something crooked, and
wired Sheriff Aber to find if such box
had been purchased here. He found it
girl had stopped first denied having
purchased it. but afterwards owned up,
but could not produce the box the
Lirely woman had taken it with her to
Alva.
The evidence given by the Great
Bend men showed that the man, his
mother and sister-his two strong est
witnesses-had perjured themselves in
their testimony concerning the second
box, by swearing they had it. when in
fact they had not, but came up to Great
Bend to purchase it so as to make good
their claim at the second trial. And
that, as near as we can find out, is

til the rainy season is over. 1t is also
plain that there will be more or less
illness during this period of bad wea-
ther. and that when the campaign is
resumed the force capable of active
warfare will be materially reduced.
Including the 1000 troops now on their
way or under orders for service in the
Philippines. General Otis will have only
$4,000 regular troops under his COM
mand. With 10000 regular troops in
Cuba and Porto Rico. there will be
only 1900 regulars left in the United
States. The question therefore hinges
on whether it will be prudent to further
draw on the regular forces i'm the
United States in order to augment
General Otis forces in the Philippines.
Those opposed to organizing a pro-
visional army favor sending more reg
ulars to the Philippines. But another

posed to halfway measures in dealing

MUST HAVE MORE TROOPS.
General Otis Has Not Enough Soldi-
ers to Whip Filipinos.

New York, May 30.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
The situation in the Philippine islands
as described in recent dispatches, is
such as to make it almost necessary to
raise at least part of the provisional
army authorized by the last congress,
if the United States expects to secure
complete control of the archipelago.
The administration has been brought to
realize that it is no longer war and di-
plomacy in dealing with the insurgents,
but plain war. Diplomacy and the peace
commission must take back seats until
the enemy has been completely whipped
and forced to surrender.
General Otis has not sufficient num-
ber of men to accomplish this end. 1t
is believed that he has so informed the
war department, but the officials will
not admit it. They do admit, however,
that the outlook for an early peace is
very gloomy and that more troops are
badly needed in the Philippines.
Just how to meet this situation is a
question which confronts them and re-
quires prompt decision. Although Cen
eral Otis states that he will continue
an aggressive campaign during the
rainy season, it is appreciated that he
will be able to do little more than gar
rison some of the points which the
forces under General Macarthur and
Lawton have taken, and hold them un-
