OFFER MADE
BY PAT GROVE
WILL SURRENDER IF REWARD
is WITHDRAWN.
WILLING TO STAND TRIAL
But Fears Manufactured Testi-
mony If Reward Is Not
Taken Down.
WILLING TO STAND TRIAL

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 12-Pat Grove
has communicated with Chief of Po-
lice Donohue, offering to surrender
provided the reward offered for him
is withdrawn. Chief Donohue did not
accept the proposition, but made a
counter offer to waive the reward
himself, saying nobody else could Sc
cure it. The chief says Grove is tir-
ed Of being hunted and is, willing to
take the chances of a trial, if the
reward is withdrawn, but expresses
the fear that manufactured testimony
would convict him if the reward was
allowed to stand. He says Grove is
less than 500 miles from Omaha and
is not with his relatives.
Edward A. Cudahy, Sr., was seen by
a representative of the Associated
Press and asked if the reward for
Grove would be withdrawn. In reply
he said: Eyes; we will do anything
to secure Grove. This is the first
l have heard Of Groves proposition,
but | presume it is bonafide. l still
believe Grove was one of the abduc-
tors Of my son, but if he ~surrenders
he shall have a fair trial, and if he
gives himself up under the circum-

WENT ON AN EXCURSION

San Francisco, Oct. 12-Only morn
ing sessions were held today by both
houses of the triennial convention Of
the Episcopal Church of America.
The afternoon was devoted to excui-
sion which embraced nearly all the
principal points of interest in San
Francisco bay.
The house of bishops passed an
amendment to article l of the consti-
tuition, giving an honorary seat on the
floor to any bishop, retired either for
old age or physical disability.
The bishops appointed their por-
ton of the proposed joint committee
to consider prohibited degrees of mar
riage and also three bishops to act on
the committee which will nominate
a board of managers for the mission
airy board. The house of bishops will
probably next consider the code of
canons, choosing for discussion at
this convention those which are deem
ed of most Importance.
Very little was accomplished by
the house of deputies beyond a few
changes in the rules of procedure and
final adoption of the report of the
joint committee on marginal read.

REIMBURSE THE ADMIRAL

Washington, Oct. 11-Rear Admiral
Schley will have a big bill of *
penses to pay for ~vindicatinig his
honor before the world.
The inquiry drags along and the
navy department is not fastening
the consideration of the evidence.
Ever since August l Schley's u
sci have been hard at work, and be
ing men Of a high grade of legal abil-
ity their fees will be something of
an item. 1t is understood that Judge
Jere Wilson was to have received S.
600, and that one-half that amount
was paid before his death.
Isadore Rayner is attorney general
Of Maryland and a lawyer of very
high standing. Capt. Parker has
done a great deal of the detail work
and has occupied his entire time with
the case since August 1.
Mr.. league, of Baltimore, was call
ed into the case after the death of
Judge Wilson.
A movement in behalf IF Admiral
Schley has been started looking to
his reimbursement by the government
of his legitimate expenses.
To this end it is said that a bill will
be introduced in congress or that
amount will be attached to M of
the regular appropriation bills.
Schley's friends assert that it is
not justice or fair play for the hero
of Santiago to be compelled to go
through a long contested inquiry in
order to prove that he was not a cow
ard.
The testimony, as it has developed
from day to day, has been strongly
in Schley's favor, ever from the navy
departments own witnesses.
There is precedent, it is claimed,
for such action as is proposed in con-
gress, where officers have been sub
jected to unjust accusations, and
when shown that the prosecution was
not instituted in good faith reimburse
ment has been granted.
While Schley asked for the court of
inquiry himself, he was driven to it by
the continued attacks of the navy de-
partment, the work of Historian
Maclay' being the last straw.
In contested election cases the man
making the complaint and .instituting
legal proceedings is reimbursed for
his expenses by congress-, if it be
shown that his contest is based upon
sufficient evidence to warrant consid.
| Grafton by congress.
Admiral Schley will, of course, dis
approve of any plan looking toward
his reimbursement, but his congress.
sional friends will undertake to see
that he receives the fair and square
treatment he deserves.
Schley is not a wealthy man, and
the Schley fund which has not been
heard of recently, was. not large
enough to purchase a very substantial
home for the admiral. He will have
his half pay on retirement, which
will be about sufficient to meet the
daily expenses of a moderate liver
who has spent most Of his life in ser.
vice.

Pittsburg, Oct. 1.-THE members
of the pertinent committee on tenn

annual report Of Surgeon General
Sternberg. In it he declares: Mill

Facts m figures and testimony in
our possession as a committee refute
the statement, and Mr.. Sternberg or
any other army officer can not sub

From the soldiers standpoint"
said George Irwin, recording secretary
lit is absurd. They told us a year
ago that they could not get men to
enlist without the canteen. Is it not
a cheap government that prostitutes
its young men in order to make sold
iers of them?
Instead of being the unanimous
verdict of the army officers, General
Miles and General Howard stand as
bitter opponents of the canteen. Hun
dreds of private soldiers have furnish
ed us testimony proving it's democrat

Zone year ago the committee was
very active in presenting petitions to
congress against the canteen, and it
is prepared to wage a still more eff

the present law"

Queen Victoria was the first English
sovereign who ever had property to

nothing but debts, which parliament
was called upon to pay. While the
queen permitted the nation thus to set

succession to pay off in full the very
large debts contracted by her father,

her granddaughters, who have in each
case received from her a dowry of
100000 on marrying, and the settle
