Each one has a full list of candidates

MANILA, April 1.-The sensational al
legged frauds in the commissary depart
ment which were developed yesterday Ey
the arrest of Capt Frederick ]. Barrows,
of the Thirtieth volunteer infantry, quar-
termaster for the southern department of
Luzon, together with seven commissaly y
SergeantS, several civilian clerks, prom
inent government contractor, the assist
ant manager of the Hotel Orient, the
proprietors of three of the largest baker
les in Manila and a number of store
keepers and other persons, will be probed
to the bottom Orders have been issued
that no guilty man shall be permitted to
escape. The number of men implicated
in the frauds is undetermined, and high
rank will not suffice to shield delin-
quents.
Col. Woodruff, the chief commissary
at Manila, said to the representative Of
the Associated Press that the irregular
tiles were exaggerated, and that the
troops were always we'll supplied with
stores Colonels of the returning volun-
teer regiments wrote 10 Col. Woodruff
in praise of the comnlissary service.
MARTHUR HAS NOT REPORTED.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-Gen. Mac
Arthur has not notified the war depart
ment of the arrest of Capt Frederick
j. BalfOWS, OF the Thftleth infantry, and
others on a charge Of defrauding the
government by selling commissary stores,
as reported in dispatches from Manila.
Adjt Gen. Corbin, to whom all such
dispatches are addressed, said today that
he thought the whole affair had been ex-
aggerated, if any fraud had been COM
mitted at all. He said:
CORBIN'S STATEMENT.
In the first place. Capt Barrows is only
a lieutenant Of volunteers. He is one
OF the junior comn1issary officers at Ma
Mia, and would not be entrusted with
supplies for more than one regiment.
That leaves little room for any extern
Sfve stealing, and 1 very much doubt
whether anything has been stolen at all
Similar charges have been made against
other officers in the service, which, upon
investigation, were found baseless. The
thousands of sacks of flour, wagon loads
of bacon and other stores found in the
possession Of alleged unauthorized per-
sons, will probably resolve themselves
into few barrels of -four and some ba-
con and other staple supplies
1t is entirely possible for this to be
so without any fraud. The government
allows SO many rations to a regiment
They may not all be drawn. When they
are left on hand the commissary officer
in charge is authorized to convert the
surplus into cash for the benefit of the
regiment. My own opinion is that soma
such thing has happened in this case, and
that no fraud has been committed

as soon as the investigation is completed,

every party, and a great scramble has
been made to secure the labor vote, wh ;ch

An important factor in the contest is
the public ownership ticket, the leaders
OF which party are putting forth every
effort to win on, the promise of municipal
ownership of public and transportation
franchises. Leaders of the Democratic
Republican and Public Ownership parties
are each confident of success for their
respective tickets at the polls tomor. ow.
Great interest has been aroused among
all classes of citizens, and it is expected
that very large percentage of the unus
ually heavy registration will be In evi-
dence at the ballot boxes. The mayoraI-

Instant Death.

''The instant of DEATH" says The In
dian Lancet. is a vague and indefinite
expression when viewed from the point
of physiology. An animal or plant
cannot be considered dead until it has
reached that period in disintegration
where it is Impossible to revive life.
Some Psychologists srill further restrict
the definition 10 that point in decay
where every cell in the body of an ami
NAL or plant has ceased to contain or
consist of living protoplasm-in other
words. each cell must have lost be-
yond recall its life powers.
Probably one of the most striking ex-
amples OF instantaneous death was
that of the person who accidentally fell
into large vat of boiling caustic pot
ash. which at once consumed the entire
body. leaving only the metallic plates
from the heels of his shoes and few
buttons from the clothing as remains.
Death from electric shocks also border
on the instantaneous process. 1t has
been found that living cells taken from
the body can be preserved in a normal
state for long time and then have life
processes revived If they are properly
treated.
