Muncfe Concern Is Said to Have Been

Postage Stamps.

to the Indianapolis Journal.

MUNCIE, Ind, May 17.-Qu.te a sensa-
ton was caused in Muncie this afternoon
by the publication of a statement from a
government detective to the effect that al
most 100000 worth of bogus Cuban post
age stamps have been printed by the Neely
Printing Company in Muncie and sent to
c. +. W. Neely for distribution to Cuban
postoffices. The detective in question is ].
C. Orr. an employe of the government,
who. with many others, has been stationed
in Muncie since the arrest Of Neely. Orr
to the Daleville postoffice, twelve miles
from Muncie and he came here to-day in
search of thief who stole some govern
ment papers from his room in the hotel at
Daleville. Orr says the Nicely embezzle-
ment was made through his printing Of
fee in this city; that he had at least 2,000.-
600 worth of counterfeit stamps made in
this office, and that the system organized
was to distribute these stamps in numbers
that would not cause suspicion to officers
who furnished the regular consignments.
Orr further states that the searches made
in the Neely printing Office has not been
to find package supposed to have been
shipped to Neely. but for the purpose of
locating signs of bogus stamps. but that
no evidence has as yet been unearthed.
When Ross Cowan, president of the
story this afternoon he did not seem espe-
cially concerned, but said: 'You may say
that if there is any story afioat that the
Neely Printing Company ever turned out
Cuban stamps. either for the postal or
revenue service. it is false. We have
neither printed stamps legitimately nor IL
legitimately. The government contract
work that we have had has been mostly in
the form of printed blanks. This work has
been conducted for the past eighteen
months, since Neely took Office, and my
books will show that it has not exceeded
$4,000, While the printed stories are tnat IL
will reach sSO,OOo. Do you suppose that the
government officials who have overhauled
my place from the day of the arrest Of
Neely would not have found some evil
dence. If the gigantic stamp factory you
speak of was located here?'
Tonight Mr.. Cowan made the statement
that he anticipated that he. Harry Richey
and Carl A Spilker would be arrested.
Richey was employed by Neely in Cuba,
and only recently accompanied him home
resuming his old position in the Muncie
postoffice. A detective had him in a room
most all day. Spilker is a bosom friend of
Neely and president Of the Union National
Bank, where. it is alleged, Neely had large
deposits, and from where his $4,000 bond
money came. Cowan left Muncie tonight
saying he was going to Cincinnati.

The report that J. c. Orr, the revenue Of

Indianapolis was evidently unfounded.
At late hour last night he had not reg

of the officials connected with the postoffice
cognizant of his arrival. The story at

A MEMORIAL FOR MISS KINGSLEY.
rom The LonInn ChrnnicIe.

From The London Chronicle
The desire has been very widely expressed
among Miss Kingsley 5 many friends and among
the still larger number of those who knew her
by her work writes our Liverpool correspondent,
to establish a permanent memorial to- her. 1t
is in great measure owing to Miss kinGSlcyS
writings that much interest has recently been
taken by the general public in West Africa. and
her researches into native customs and inSti-
tutions unique. Liverpool. owing to
its very large West African interests. was con-
stanty visited by Miss Kingsley. Immediately
after her death movement was therefore set
on foot by those merchants to perpetuate her
memory by the construction of a small hospital
for treating the numerous cases of tropical dis
eases that landed daily at that port 1t is
intended that this hospital should be associated
with the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.
Others of Miss Kngsleys friends are anxious
that memorial to her should also be associated
with the special study of native customs which
was her first object and occupied the greatest
part of her time and energy, and they suggest
that this work should he carried on by the
Kingsley Society of West Africa, established to
stimulate research and to collect from all the
sources information concerning West Africa
representative gathering of Miss kin%sleys S
friends in London, Liverpool and Mitnchcslcr
recently met in London to discuss the mat
ter, and it decided that the memorial
should include both the hospital ana the society,
| and that appeal should be made to the pubic
for support to both. Contributions for the Mary
Kingsley Memorial Hospital should he sent TO

Unity OF these two buildings raises some lively
thoughts about what the force of example may
bring US to. Perhaps after a while the Franco
American facade will become as familiar as the
brownstone 'front.' which for so many years

work, recalling the streets of Paris, springs
from genuine enthusiasm among the archi-
tects. 1t has vitality. 1t is produced by men
who have their hearts in it and who are doing1
therefore, thoroughly sincere things. They are
delightful things, because, although derived
from one source Of inspiration they dstn-
guished by considerable variety. Among New

the last few years there no two alike. They

elegance OF their lines, but from their having

Sir Joseph Chamberlain sent out a request to
the Governors of British colonies a few months
ago that steps he taken to secure specimens OF
mosquitoes in their respective Jurisdictions, and
that tn" same he forwarded to the Natural His
tory Museum in London for scrutiny and claSsi-
ication. The Secretary for Colonies had al
rigid investigation into the suspected relations
between mosquitoes and malaria inasmuch as
malarial fevers are said to be the cause of more
d' aths than any other malady in the tropical
possessions of the Crown The Government
