NAVAL STATION
IN PHILIPPINES
Secretary Long and Admiral
Dewey Discuss Situation.
LUBlG BAY RECOMMENDED
On Account of the Fine Harbor, Deep
Water and Other Natural Advan-
tages That Port is Prefer
able to Cavite
LUBlG BAY RECOMMENDED

Washington, November H.-Admiral
Dewey called at the navy department to-
day in response to a Request from Secre-
Itary Long to discuss the question of es-
tabis'hing a naval station at Cavite, or
some other point near Manila. Such
station is now in operation at Cavite, but
it is foreseen that the requirements oil tne
navy may be much greater than those
which are temporarily attended to at Ca
wife.
The admiral brought with him portions
of his report of tine Philippine commits
sion This discusses the establishment of
a permanent naval station for the Philip
pines and recommends Lubig Bay about
sixty mile from Manila as preferable to
Cavite, as there is a fine harbor of ca
pable depth off water and many natural
establishment.
While Admiral Dewey's views will
doubtless prevail when a permanent sta
tion is established this will be for con-
gress to deal with, and the present purpose
is to utilize the Cavite station for the cur
rent work on the warships Rear Admir-
al Gillis' name has been mentioned as
commandment of the Cavite station.
He was at the department today and
conferred with Secretary Long on the SUBJ
ject, but the impression prevails that one
of the younger officers will be chosen.

CONVICT MAKES
SPURIOUS COIN
Outfit Found Near the State
Penitentiary.
DENIED AT HEADQUARTERS
Prisoner Makes Moulds from Two Tin

DENIED AT HEADQUARTERS

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel MADISON, Mont
gomery, November 2L-(Special)-A story
of convicts coming dollars within the
walls of the state penitentiary, which has
just come from cover was received here
this morning.
For some time past 1T is said that spuri-
Gus coin has been in circulation about the
walls at Wetumpka, both dollars and quar-
ter dollars-having been discovered.
The continuous flow of these coins into
the market of the little town soon aroused
the suspicious of the trading public, and an
effort was made to locate the source from
which they came. Some of the TRUSTEES"
about the walls are permitted to deal in
tobaccos and small CONNECTIONS such as the
prisoners frequently purchase, and it is
said that it was discovered that spurious
coin was coming from this source.
The officials at the walls were notified,
and they set watch to detect the guilty
person. white convict from one of the
North Alabama counties was soon suspect
ed, and so close and uncomfortable was the
watch set over him that he was forced to
dispose of his molds
In moving about the stables few days
ago molds for coming dollars were found,
and one report has 1t that more than ten
thousand of the spurious coins, one dollar
denomination, were also discovered.

ST am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors In the
world. For years had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
I became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling OF the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.
81 underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. went back,
but in less than week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, / de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone felt the eff
fects Of it. Three bottles of Lydia d.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and q
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.

now is How much better you lookp and
you may be sure never hesitate to telll

ADULTERATED BEERS
Busch Favors Law Regulating the
Manner of Brewing

Washington, November 27.-Adolphus
Busch, of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing
company, of st. Louis. today took a posi-
ton before the senate committee on manu-
facturers antagonistic to that taken by
many other brewers who have testified be-
fore the committee.
He appeared before the committee in con-
nection with its investigation of food adul-
terations and in reply to questions from
Senators Mason and Harris, said that beer
could be made only of barley malt, hops
yeast water; that while corn might be used
for ordinary beer the best article could
not be made from it. He contended that
a proper process of agesng was the only
proper preventative Of beer, and that
boracic and salicylic acids were injurious
and deteriorous to health. He favored
other materials entering into the production
of beer.
A number of American champagne maxi
ers testified, asserting the superiority of the
American wines over the foreign and con-
demning the practice of sending abroad
cheap, adulterated wines from this country
and bringing them back decorated with
foreign labels. They favored legislation
making it felony to counterfeit labels and
trade marks, and also urged prohibition of
Importation of American wines which have
been sent abroad and returned adulterated.
They assert that so per cent. of the i'm
ported still wines and a large percentage
of the champagne were doctored American
wines.

NO TRAIL OF THE
MISSING MILLER
Receiver Appointed tor the De-
funct Syndicate.
FLOODED WITH INQUIRIES
Police Department Are Receiving Let
tiers From Every Part of the Coun-
try Asking Assistance in Re-
covering Money

New York. November 27-Hubert G. Tay-
Tor, lawyer. was appointed temporary
receiver for the defunct Franklin syndicate
bank today by Justice Smith of the su-
preme court. The application was made by
VIM. o. Inglis, who stated that he held
twelve shares in the company
According to Inglis the liabilities exceed
100000, the assets being about $1,000 cash
in the hands of the police. Taylor was re-
quired to furnish bond of $4,000
The hearing set down for this evening in
the case of Louis H. Miller, brother of the
missing man, did not take place owing to
the district attorney not being ready to
, proceed and the matter was adjourned until
Wednesday morning. Several witnesses
who intend to testify in Millers behalf
were in court, including Miss Corey the
young woman in whose house the money
was found by the police and alleged to have
been secreted. Miller was released on 81 900
bail.
John Daily, the assignee appointed for
the bank by VIM. F. Miller before the latter
left the city, called at police headquarters
today and demanded the IS, $50 taken from
the Floyd street house. He was told the
money would be held until disposed of by
the court.
No Tr4l of Miller
The police officials have found no trail of
the missing VIM. F. Miller. Letters poured
in today from all parts of the country, writ
ten by persons who said they had been de-
ceived by literature that had been sent
broadcast by Miller and his employees. All
wanted information as to the best way for
them to recover their money. Some of the
writer's in their letters stated that they had
deposited from $500 to $500. Other syndi-
Gates conducted along lines similar to that
of the Franklin syndicate are being investi-
gated by the police and by the district at
torney of Kings county. All institutions
conducted on the "blind pool basis which
promise unsual profits are under surveil-
lance.
The police are still in the dark as to the
whereabouts of the missing Miller. Accord
ing to one report he succeeded in making
his way to Hoboken on the day that he
escaped from the Brooklyn police, and he is
said to have been seen on a Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western train, presuma-
bly, en- route for Canada. Other reports
have it that he is still in hiding in New
York city, while many persons believe that
he escaped on an outward bound ship.
81 John Agnew, who says he is the manager
of the Washington syndicate at 81 Green
point avenue, Brooklyn, was taken in GUS
tody today by the Brooklyn police on a
warrant charging Agnew with violating
section 6O9 of the penal code, which says 1t
Is a misdemeanor for person to display
bankers sign on his premises when he does
not rate as such. Agnew also had printed
ON his bill heads 'private banker" He was
later identified as person who, four years

The Stor Denied

At the convict department here this story
was denied by President Trap this MORN
ing. He said however, that molds for
making dollars had been found at the sta
bles, and that a few of the coins had been
discovered
The molds, according to President Trapp
had been made by means of the use Of two
small tin boxes, probably shoe blacking
boxes, filling them with plaster of paris,
and while it was yet in a moist state a
dollar was placed in the center and the two
boxes pressed together. A hole was then
drilled to the center, and the babbit metal,
of which the dollars were coined, poured
through this hole into the mold. great
deal of the metal is used about the mills at
the walls, and it is supposed that the coun-
terfefter was securing his metal from this
source.
The correspondent of The Age-Herald
was shown two coins said to have come
from the walls, one of each denomination.
and they were equal to the average spuri-
Gus coin in finish and appearance.

DEM AND FOR REFORM
Senator Gallinger Wants the Washington
Asylum Investigated.
for Inmates Said to
Be Inadequate-COnditi De-
scribed MS Disgraceful.

Mr.. Gallinger in the Senate today. intro
duced a resolution, which was passed, di-
recting that the committee on the District
of Columbia make a careful investigation
Of the Washington Asylum with view of
ascertaining whether or not the accommo-
dations now furnished are adequate for the
proper care of the inmates of that institu-
ton.
Mr. Gallinger spoke vigorously upon what
he said was disgracefui condition existing
at the Washington Asylum.
Il am astounded," said Mr. Gallinger,
'at receiving the information, which think
is entirely trustworthy, that in this Wash
ngton Asylum there are S26 people at the
present time in all the departments, and
that in the mae W0rkhouse there are 2Sti
bunkS and 3IS inmates, and the institution
IS so crowded that they have had to aban-
don the hospital dining room and use it for
the purpose of accommodating patients at
night time. If my information is correct
and L believe it is, 1t strikes me that this
Is an institution which is a disgrace to the
city of Washington and brings reproach
upon the Congress of the United States
which legislates and makes appropriations
for the District of Columbia For this rea-
son l think this investigation ought to be
made, and l am hoping that it will result
in reform so far as taking care of these
poor people is concerned, which is loudly
called for by all considerations of hu-
manity."
