DISPUTE WITH A WOMAN
War Department Officials Deny Charg-
es Made by Miss ChanIer.

Washington, Aug. S.-Miss Margaret
Astor Chanler, of New York, has for
warded from Manila to the secretary
of war a severe criticism of the army's
medical system in the Philippines, al
leging that there is a lack of surgeons
lack of nurses, lack of medical supplies,
including such articles as Sheets and
asking that she be allowed five hundred
sheets for emergency distribution.
Medical officials here say Miss Chan
lers criticism loses much of it's force
from the fact that it was written only
two days after she arrived at Manila
The records of the war department
have been brought forward to show
that many of Miss Chanlers specific
charges lack ground. The records are
said to disclose repeated kilograms
from General Sternberg to the author
tiles at Manila asking them to state
how many nurses and doctors they re-
quired, and to give early notice of their
requirements. in order that all needs
might be met promptly. 1t is said that
practically the same showing was made
as to supplies. Miss Chanler's specific
criticism on the lack of sheets and her
appeal for 500 sheets to meet pressing
needs is considered unaccountable, in
view of the almost lavish provisions
which are said to have been made.

The City of Emporia to Be Sued
For $4,000 Damages.
EmplOye Injured by a Falling
Electric Light Pole.
COUNCIL WILL NOT PAY
Miss Jessie MOrrisOn's Effort to
Leave Prison
Meets With Legal Resistance
by Ell Dorado Lawyers.

Enporia, Aug. e.-Anton Kowalsld will
sue the city for $4,000 DANA ges for in
juries received last winter the result of
the falling of an electric light pole. The
last meeting of the city council refused
to grant the claim. It seems Kowalski
had climbed the pole to do some work as
a lineman. 1t broke near the ground. and
Kowalski's leg was broken in two places.
1t has left him somewhat crippled. The
electric light plant belongs to the city,
and his attorneys claim that the city
must be held responsible for the poor con-
d1tion of its poles. The council says that
no one can be a better judge of the con-
dition of the poles than those who work
around them, and that KoWalski know
ing of their poor condition has himself
to blame.

SHELDON ON TRUSTS.
Writes From London of Baneful
Effect of Combinations.

Rev. Charles NJ Sheldon writing from
London for the New York Journal says:
All over the world today there seems
to be a tremendous love of money. The
god of wealth seems to exhibit himself
in ways never before shown to the
world; and we can illustrate here in
definitely the ways in which the power
of money has seemed to get control of
the daily life of this civilization of which
we boast so much.
We find the grip of gold running a
great deal of the business of the world
We find its grip on the liquor business,
we find it within the sanctuary itself;
and one of the things which Jesus
would do if He were here would be to
scourge the lovers of money out of His
temples of worship.
In the United States can speak from
actual knowledge of facts which shame
us as we look them in the face, and yet
God does not want to shut our eyes to
them.
Only little while before I left New
York certain men who have it in their
power to collect capital, concentrate
capital-that Anglo-Saxon acQuisitive
ness which, when used for personal
qualification, becomes one of the most
devilish things in the whole world
that power had called together a little
group of men, and they had gathered
all the ice in the market so that they
controlled the output and the price of
ice
Now, ice in America is a necessity,
not a luxury, and these men, through
that greed of which Paul speaks when
he says that love of money is the root
of all kinds of evil, had it in their power
to say how much ice should be sent
into New York; and little babies and
little children in the slums of New York
and in the sitting towns died that week
because they could not get ice and be
cause these men through their satanic
greed, would not sell piece of ice small
enough to be bought for five cents;
