Chief Constructor HichbOrn Describes
the Experience of the Bnche.

Admiral Hichborn, chief constructor, has
submitted to the Navy Department a report
on the coast survey steamer Bache. bearing
upon the utility OF sheathing naval vessels
which has given rise to the liveliest contro-
versy between naval officers. The admirais s
conclusions, based upon the record history
OF the ship. is as follows:
ITO summarize, II may be stated that this
vessel, not originally intended to be sheath
ed, was nine years after her launching fitted
with a system Of sheathing which involved
a neglect of some of the most obvious pre-
cautions in such work, and the use of iron
bolts and in the execution of which the
workmanship was bad. She served thirteen
years continuously without examination
Of or repairs to her sheathing or sheathing

nearly thirty years old, with her frames
and plates in such a condition through in

bunker spaces as would have long since
compelled her abandonment or extensive re-
building had she not been sheathed, with
out the sheathing applied twenty years
since having been renewed or the bottom
plating sighted or repaired.
THAT these results are possible under
such conditions speaks volumes for the pos
sibilitieS of an efficient system based upon

AS STRANGE AS FAKETION


IFrom the Buffalo Courier1
The story of how pickp0cket stole
pOcketbook, and lost $500 at the same
time, - a young woman from the coun-
try. is being related by people living in
tie vicinity of GoodeII and Oak streets
as one of the oldest of happenings.
Recently a young woman friend of
Mrs George J. Isutz of 463 Oak street
came from Springville to visit her. One
day she accompanied Mrs. Lutz down
town on a Main street car and. as it
happened, the car was crowded. They
got seats. and few moments later, at
Chippewa street. a well dressed man
displaying considerable jewelry. includ-
ing a fine diamond ring, found a seat
beside them. He had been eyeing the
two women from the rear platform.
and Mrs. Lutz had noticed that after
he got seat he remained only until
after the car reached the next corner.
She felt that the man was a thief, and
warned the young woman from the
country that she should be on her
guard for pickpoeketS in crowded cars.
Her suspicion was hardly strong enough
to warrant asking her friend if she had
been robbed, but the question was I'M
necessary for the young woman in
stinctively reached into her pocket and
withdrew her hand with a cry of sur
prise.
My pocketbook is gone" she said,
and beth women fell to discussing the
stranger, and how they would report
the case to the police.
While they talked the young woman
from Springfield fumbled in her pocket
again. and her fingers touched some
thing which she supposed had fallen
from he purse. Wondering what it was
she brought it to the light and was
astonished to find she had a diamond.
There had been no diamond in the
purse; in fact, it had contained little
except SO and a few trinkets.
Mrs. Lutz recalled that the stranger
had worn a diamond ring, and it needed
only a second look to show that it was
of the same size The explanation at
once offered itself that the we11-dressed
man with jewelry was a pickpocket.
He had reached his ring-bedecked hand
into the pocket of Mrs. Lutz's friend
and removed her purse. His diamond
had caught in the cloth and came loose
from its setting. If he noticed the loss
of the diamond he dared not mention
it, for that would have shown him to
be the thief The chances were that he
had not noticed it in his haste to leave
the car.
Mrs Lutz and her friend went at once
to T. c. Tanke's jewelry store at Main
and Eagle streets, to learn the value of
the diamond. There was a chance that
it was paste, although both women
to guess that the one that came so
oddly into the Springfield woman's pos
session was genuine. Mr.. Tanke, after
examining the stone, removed all doubt
by announcing that the diamond was
genuine and worth at least $500.
The young woman from Springville
had The stone set in a ring and went
back to the country $3.50 ahead of the
man who robbed her in the car.

STOP PLUNDERING.
Raid on State School Fund to B,
Stopped.

Upon authority of an opinion from
Attorney General GODDARD State Auditor
Cole will in the future prevent the ex-
penditure of the state permanent school
fund for the benefit of men who settle
and prove up on school lands in Kan
sas.
1t has been the custom in the past
for the state to pay the expenses OF
publication and proving up on these
lands from the state permanent school
fund upon authority of the county
superintendent or probate judge who
were empowered TO issue warrants
therefor.
The expense of proving title to school
land is not much different than that of
ordinary proofs in homestead entries.
There is the publication notice at a. cost
from $40 to $40 and other fees which will
make the general average SIS to $35-
The settler was securing title to the
land; the state was paying the expenses
Then the settler might remain on the
land while his expenses were being paid
and until the first payment came due
then move on another quarter section.
In this way he would have a farm for
a year, perhaps two years, and not ex-
pend a cent
The records of the auditors office
show where probate judges and county
Superintendents have raided the state
school fund for from SO 900 TO $1,000 per
year. While the proceedings are ap-
parently regular there is no doubt in
nllnQS OF the general dil.
auditor that gross frauds have been
perpetrated simply because the Off
cials have not taken the pains to pro-
tect the state fund.
Some enormous bills have been com
ing in during the past year. They in
clude the publication fees, the other ex-
penses including also fees for apprais-
ers, a total saving of a considerable
sum of money to tue man taking up
the land.
Attorney General GODDARD at the re-
quest of Mr.. Cole has made an exhaus-
tive examination OF the statutes and is
of the opinion that the man to whom
the title goes shall pay the expenses of
the necessary proceedings to secure abe
title
There are some fees which the law
provides the state shall pay but the
county officials have been imposing on
the state and the school fund by re-
quiring the total payment of all ex-
penses.
The money which in this manner has
been taken from the state school fund
amounts, in the years which have passed,
to thousands of dollars, usually from
$4,000 per year, sometimes more.
1t amounts to no less than plunder-
ing of the states most sacred fund
that for the schools-and the auditor
and attorney general will put an i'm
mediate stop to it

TO MEET IN JULY.
Populist State Convention Probably
Be Held Then.

The sentiment among the Populist
leaders in Kansas is in favor of hold
ing the state convention to nominate
state officers in July. The place has al
ready been selected, Fort Scott
When the state committee held its
recent meeting in Topeka the situation
was canvassed and among the commit
teemen and the visitors July was the
general favorite. The date has not been
fixed, but if the national convention is
called prior to that time July will wit
ness the nomination of the POpulist
state ticket.
The convention to select delegates to
the national convention will probably
be held within the period between
March15 and May15. OF course the date
of the national convention will govern
that.
Anticipating that the delegate con-
vention will not be long delayed Clay
Center is now at work to entertain the
visitors and delegates to that conven-
ton Rooms have already been Sc
cured for the accommodation of 500 peo-
pie. The convention will contain 425
delegates, but another hundred or so is
expected in the capacity of visitors and
candidates.
