Mr.. Rathbones many friends deeply
regret the position in which he finds him
self, but even those who are most inclined
to palliate his conduct admit that he has
been guilty of negligence scarcely falling
short of crimuality. During the investi.

made charges that reflect seriously upon
Mr.. Rathbone's honesty.
Mr.. Brisow and the inspectors have
found nothing but chaos throughout the
entire department. Often no records
were kept for days at Il time, and to get
thorough insight calls for the services
Of every inspector now here, A consider
able time must elapse before the facts of
the case will be known. Indeed it is
doubtful if the muddle will ever be en-
tirely cleared up. Every letter received
must be gone through and every possible
transaction carefully recorded.
Mr.. Bristow has asked General Wood
to appoint Il disbursing officer for the
present. as he prefers an army man, not
knowing the men in the local office and
not being able to spare single inspector
in view of the onerous investigation
ahead of him.
Deputy Auditor Lawshe had Reeves
brought TO the Office to assist. Reeves
was in charge Of special agents all the
while and after lunrhing at restaurant
had an interview with General Wood
which lasted more than an hour. 1t is

few instances the statements Of his con-
fession have not yet been verified or cor-

EIGHT YEARS
FOR FRAWLEY.

Newport News Va, May 23.-The Jury
in tho case Of Prof. H. ]. lrawlsy, charged
with bgamy yesterday brought in verdict
OF guilty aud fixed the prisoners punish-
ment at eight years in the peniten tiary,
the maxim um term. The case was sen.
sational one. Frawley had no lawyer
and conducted his own defence. He is a
man OF brilliant atta,nments and made
the best OF hopeless fight. His plea was
that he thought his first wife dead when
he married the second one, claiming that
his daughter wrote him letter to that
effect The prosecution WAS prepared for
this move and checkmated 1t by putting
Miss Frawley on the stand. She ues ided
that she had wri ten no such letter 10 har
father. Frawley knew nothing OF her
presence in the city. When the verdict
was announced Mrs. Frawey No. broke
down and had to be taken from the room.
Mrs. Frawley No. wept for q few mo-
ments and then tainted away. The pris-
oner took the verdict coolly. His second
wife came from Maryland and was viii.
ow OF a few weeks when he married her,
being Mrs. Minnie Harvey. Fraw!ey Is
now under Indictment for forgery, anu
his trial on this charge will probably come
up some time this week.
Frawley was arrested some months ago
in Dover by Detective Witsi. He and
wife No. 2 boarded at the Clayton House
for a couple Of weeks and while here was
an insurance agent.

Supreme Court Afilrms Decision Of
Kentucky Courts.

Kentucky Courts.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The Ken
tucky governorship case has been de-
cidcd by the United States supreme court
in the interest of Beckham, affirming the
decision Of the Kentucky court of ap-
peals.
The opinion in the Kentucky case was
not unanimous, four Of the justices dis
senting. Justices Brewer, Harlan, Brown
and Mckenna We're the dissenting JUS
tees.
The opinion was handed down by Chief
Justice Fuller, and the case waS dismiss
ed for want of jurisdiction He said the
court should be the last 10 overstep the
bounds limiting its own Jurisdiction and
that the determination Of cases of this
character, contests for state office, must
necessarily be settled by the political
branch of the government. That branch
had acted in the Kentucky case when
the general assembly took jurisdiction.
There was, the court held, no appeal
from the assembly's decision, which was
favorable to Goebel and Beckham, OK
cept to the tribunal Of the people, which
tribunal. the chief justice said was al
ways in session. He also said the case
was purely d state case; that Kentucky
was in full possession of its faculties as
member of the Union, and that there
was no emergency at this time calling for
interference.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Tbe war
department has refused to accept the res
snations of seven officers of the volun-
teer army now in the Philippines. These
officers are all juniors or snbaterns and
have become tired Of the service. Secre.
tary Root in refusing to accept their res
ignations took the ground that inasmuch
as the war department has. uniformly re-
fused to allow enlisted men to be dis.
charged without good cause it would not
be fair to discriminate in favor of Off.
cars. The latter were told that they had
been commissioned until July of next
year and they would be held strictly TO
their contracts. Nothing but absolute dis
ability would be recognized as sufficient
for release.
