COMMISSARY FRAUDS
Involving Immense Sums Discovered
at San Francisco Army Post

San Francisco, June II. - General
Smarter n Colonel Maus, inspector
general of the department of Califor-
MIA, and the federal grand jury are in
vestigating h many reports of fraud
committed in the commissary branch
of the army service in this city. That
reports Seem to be based on something
more substantial than idle rumor is
evidenced by the disclosures following
the arrest of Lewis Abraham & Sons,
dealers in second hand clothing. The
extent of he alleged frauds has not
been determined, and there is a divers
ity of opinion on the subject.
Captain Seymour of the local detec-
tive force, who is assisting the federal
jury. said today:
THE government mas unquestion-
ably been robbed for a long time past
and / believe the amount of the losses
sustained by Uncle Sam through the
treachery and dishonesty of some of
his army officers and others will reach
into he hundreds of thousands of dol
lars.
The federal grand jury has the mat
ter of prosecution in its hands and the
secret service men are doing it's bidding
the police merely rendering assistance
when such is found necessary and is
called for. I believe that arrests will
be made. probably by the federal Of
ficers, that will startle the commu-
nifty"
Major General Shafter said the mat
ter had not been fully investigated,
but admitted the thefts of clothing
have been going IN. He claimed there
was no shortage in any department,
however.
For months past. the various stores
about the city nave been exhibiting
signs: Government goods for sale
here" and advertisements have even
been placed in the daily newspapers.

The Second regiment band, which

THE CHINESE INDEMNITY
Another Hitch as to the Amount Co be
Paid

Washington, June 12.-Mr. RockhilFs
proposition to submit the Indemnity
question to The Hague tribunal. it is
now learned, carries with it h adjust
ment of the total of the indemnity.
Through a misunderstanding, which
perhaps was purposely created by some
of the powers, the sum of oO,OOO,O 600
taels was supposed to have been final
" agreed upon by all the powers as
the total of indemnity to be demand
ed from China. AS a matter OF fact
there is nothing official to show that
he powers. or indeed a majority Oh
them, actually made this a matter OF
formal agreement. 1t is true thai chi
ma undertook to pay an OF
$50. OOO, 600 taels, but it is equally true
that this undertaking, doubtless paseo
upon the misunderstanding o re-
ferred to, was at least in OF d
formal agreement among the ministers
themselves.
Hence Mr.. Rockhill's proposition 10
include the total Of the indemnity In
the matters to be submitted to Inc
Hague arbitration. The hope that the
arbitration plan will prevail is based
upon the belief that no other scheme
so far brought forward is sufficient

A WONDERFUL wARsHIP
The Illinois Proves to be the Speediest
of Her Class In the World

Boston, Mass, June 12.-With the
proud distinction of being the fastest
battleship in America and the speed
lest of her class in the world, the new
sea fighter Illinois lies at anchor in
Presidents Roads tonight after a most
successful trial. Over the government
course from Cape Ann to Cape Por-
poise and return, a distance of sixty
six nautical miles. she reached today
under the watchful Eyes of United
States naval representatives and eS-
tablished a new record by maintain
ing an average speed of 1871 knots for
four consecutive hours.
Not only did she demonstrate that
she was faster than any warship of her
size afioat, but h proved her ability
to turn upon an enemy with eXtraOr-
binary quickness by describing a COM
plete circle within 800 yards, or little
more than twice her length, in 3
minutes and 10 seconds, while plough
ing through the sea at full speed.
Steadiness and reserve power charac-
teriZed the performance of the ship
throughout the severe test.
While still going at the top speed.
Immediately after crossing the finish
line, the ships helm was thrown hard
over and she described a complete cir
Gle in 8 minutes and 10 conds Inn
mediately she was urned again in 8
minutes and s seconds. On-+Glou-
| cester shortly afterwards her anchors
| were tested in thirty fathoms of water.
The Illinois is a sister ship to the
| Wisconsin. which had previously held
| the record for American first class bat
tleships with 17.12 knots to her credit.
The Illinois will probably lie in Pres
| ident's Roads until tomorrow when she
| will start back for Newport News.
President Calvin D. Orcott, of the
| shipbuilding company expressed him
| self after hi trial as being thoroughly
satisfied and pleased with the perform
ance of the ship. He said the COM
| pany hoped that she would make 17A
knots. but she had exceeded their ex-
p%ectations and kept well within her
/ mower.

The District Attorney Attacked and
Badly Used Up by Elias McLawhorn
Especial to The Messenger

NSpNSAol ~ 1CSSCukcE.
G%reenville. n. c.. June 12.-This
morning at the depot here United
States District Attorney c. n. Bernard,
of Raleigh. vas assaulted and badly
beaten in the face by Mr.. Elias McLaw-
horn-of Ayden.
Bernard was waiting to go out on the
train that McLawhorn came in on. As
McLAwhorn stepped Of the train he
saw Bernard and grabbed him, threw
him to he ground, and before bystand-
ers could interfere had given him sew
eral heavy blows in the face with his
fist,
When McLawhorn was pulled of,
face was black with bruises
and blood was gushing from several
wounds.
Bernard got to his feet and started
toward McLawhorn when the latter
dealt him another severe blow in the
face that felled him to the ground.
McLawhorn says the reason he made
the ASSAULT on the district attorney
was because the attorney refused to
prosecute the Ayden postmaster. both
of them being republicans and intimate
friends, against whom McLawhorn had
sworn out a warrant charging the post
master with intercepting letters which
McLawhorn wrote to his people in
Ayden while serving a short sentence
IN Jail on charge shooting at a son Of
the postmaster in some trouble they
had.

superintended in the general decora-
tons of the church. The most on
spicuous result was a floral pyramid, a
vision of beauty, consisting of hot house
plants intermingled with abundant
ferns and lilies gracefully arranged
about the rostrum.
But the fairest lily among them all
was h bride, exquisitely gowned in
white Paris mousseline, entering upon
the arm of her father, as the soft
strains of Mendelssohn's Bridal march

scene, the bridesmaids being daintily
clad in white organdy, carrying large
clusters of jessamine.

from behind the embankment of green,
and h bridal party withdrew as fol-
lows: Mr.. and Mrs. Williams, Miss
Lula Boney and Mr.. Charlie j. Will
Williams; Miss Sudie Middleton and
Mr.. Herbert Boney; Miss Laura AL

been so remarkable for doing in the
past.
