AN INTRUDER IN HER HOME.
The Countess stiIetti Furnishes n
Mystery for the Police

An air of mystery surrounds a report
made to- the Ninth precinct police early
yesterday morning by Mrs. Viola Stiletti
otherwise known as the Countess Stlet-
II. Patrolman LarTicf< was called 10 the
telephone by the violent ringing of the
telephone bell When he responded to the
call he was informed that a man had just
jumped out Of the windows of the home
of Mrs. Stietd at 126 E Street northeast.
that Mrs. Stiletti herself had made an
effort TO stop the intruder, but that he
had just escaped and a policeman was
wanted. Policeman Quail was at once sent
70 the scene. and when he arrived found
a parlor window open and several flower
pots overturned.
Upon making an investigation, however,
he could find nothing missing Mrs. Sti-
letu and her mother Mrs. Dufour, told
Quail that they had both seen the man
and had recognized him S a former neigh
bor of the Stilettis before they moved to
Street. Mrs. Sulett clair1ed that she
made an effort to hold the mn, but that
down stairs to the par0r, lifted the front
window, and leaped out The woman in
sisted that the policeman proceed to the
residence of the man and lock him up.
This the bluecoat, however refused to do.
Mrs. Stiletu stated that for some time she
had been receiving fruit and candies from
some person who she did not know, and
that upon her partaking of the same the
other day she was made violently i'll.

PREDICTIONS IN MONTANA.
a Republican Legislature Looked
for u Year Hence.

HELENA, Mon, April IA study of
the returns of the recent municipal cleo
tions in Montana shows that Not only were
the Republican gains large. but the OBJ
liberation of the Populist and Silver Re
publican organizations was also accomp
lished. This latter phase is made the
more remarkable from the fact that only
four years ago the Populists were strong
enough TO dictate the gubernatorial candi-
date in the Fusion convention, and elect
him, as well.
This year the Populists had straight or
Fusion tickets in only two cities, Butte
and Great Falls. and in both instances
they were third in the race. The Popu-
list candidate for mayor in Butte received
about 10 per cent Of the total vote, and
the Great Falls aspirant secured about
= per cent. There was not a single Silver
Republican ticket put forth in any city in
the State hence the conclusion is drawn
that the recalcitrants have about all
turned TO their former affiliations, Demo
cratic or Republican.
OF all the cities in the State first. sec
oud., and third classes. the Democrats
captured only two. Bryan carried Mon
tana by g., 900 in 1896. This was reduced TO
II, 200 in 1900. and in 1901 the Republicans
carried a large majority of the cities
where is located about 50 per cent of the
voting population. Republican leaders do
not hesitate TO predict the election Of
Republican Legislature one year hence.

HER ACCOUNTS SHORT.
CRreIeSsness I'm Keeping Books in IA
Pennsylvania Postofice.

McKEESPORT, Pa. April 12.-Mrs. G.
". Walker postmistress at Elizabeth.
Allegheny County, has resigned and United
States postoffice inspectors have discov-
cred a shortage of 81 200 in her accounts.
Mrs. Walker is a widow and the mother
of five children. Her eldest son, aged
eighteen. was her assistant. She was ap-
pointed three years ago by President Nc
Kinley. Her family is one of the best
known in the Monongahela Valley. her
husband having been well-known river
captain.
For some time Mrs. Walker has been
missing sums Of money when straighten-
ing up her accounts. She has tried TO
cover up these deficiencies with her sal
airy and commissions. Yesterday a post
office inspector dropped IN and asked for
her accounts. The audit showed she was
q little more than 81 200 short The money
was paid over by her father-in-law, Capt.
samuel Walker, who was one OF her
h1ndsmtu.
The inspector took charge Of the office
and accepted Mrs. Walkers resignation.
The pOsJofiice Inspector, in his report, ac-
quits Mrs walker Of Criminality and says
the shortage is due 70 careiessuess IN the
keeping OF accounts.

postal service "are in most unsatis
factory condition" does not indicate
anything more than some irregularity
OF form.
The report is dated in the early part
of February" said Mr Smith. and if
any actual frauds had been discovered
meanwhile they would surely have been
cabled. Mr.. Lawshe is expected TO
make a report which will explain the
reference in his report to the War De
partment My impression is that in
the course Of many statements to Sec
retary Root, Mr.. Lawshe made use of
that phrase parenthetically. and did not
intend to question the probity Of any
one connected with the postal admin s.
traton Of the islands. If there i" any
difficulty over the form Of the accounts
il has arisen probably over change in
bookkeeping ordered at the request of
the War Department
Our custom was to deduct the eX-
and transmit to Manila only the sur
plus. The military authorities desired
the total receipts to be transmitted and
the expenses afterward returned to
each offiCe-thus providing for a double
and unusual transportation Of funds.
This is a precaution which long exper-
ienCe has shown to be unnecessary in
the United states. and which we felt to
be doubIy so in an administration as
small as that Of the Philippines. When
the experiment had been tried some lit
tie time the military authorities accept
ed our point Of view and ordered a
restoration of the older method. 1t is
not unlikely, l think, that the double
change of voucher forms and methods
of keeping accounts may have led to
some confusion which would warrant
the reference made by Nh Lawshe."
F. W. Faille. Director of Posts at Ma
Mia until March last, and w. S. Shall
lenberger, Second Assistant Pcstmas-
ter General conferred with Mr.. Smith
yesterday afternoon. The director ex-
planned that his accounts had been fire.
quently inspected, and that in the few
months that had since elapsed he did
not think it likely any considerable
frauds could have been committed. Mr..
Shalienberger was interested because

Secretary Root has decided on the
recommendation of Inspector General
Breckenridge to largely increase the force
of officers in the Inspector Generals De
paftment in the Philippines. This will be
done because of the recently unearthed
frauds on the part of officers handling the
army supplies in the Archipelago
1t is feared by War Department officials
that the Government interests at
Manila are not being properly protected
and that there is more TO the matter
than has appeared in the recent de-
Spatches from the islands
1t is charged that there is at present
a laXity in the supervision OF the accounts
OF the disbursing officers of the army in
the Philippines. General Breckenridge be-
IieVes that the loss to the Government
each year is immense This is based on
the fact that the average annual cost of
the maintenance of each soldier in the
Philippines has been increased over 500
within year
General Breckfnridge holds that as two
thirds Of the whole army are in the Phil
ippines, there should be larger number
of his corps in that territory. He wishes
affairs in the Philippines investigated
first; Cuba, second, and the United States
later on.
Only one officer has been ON strictly in
spection duty in the Philippines. This is
Colonel Darlington The other two in
spectors stationed there are on other de-
tails, Lieutenant Colonel Mills being AS
sistant Secretary to the Philippine Com
mission and Major Smith on line duty.

is alleged that Captain Barrows. the
commisSaTy officer in charge at Manila,
permitted the commisSaIy Sergeants un-
der him to sell Government groceries
