SILVER DEPRECIATION MAKES
TROUBLE IN THE PHILIPPINES

Manila. Dec. 2.-The financial situa-
ton in the Philippines islands is caus-
ing much alarm. In an interview pub
lished in Manila, Henry c. Ide, chief
of the Department of Finance and jus
ticc. referred to the probable enforce
ment of an alteration in the immedi-
ate future of the present parity of two
Mexican dollars for one gold dollar.
The United States postofiice here now
refuses, except to government EN-
ployes, to issue money orders in ex-
change for Mexican silver. The banks
of Manila have been making from six
to eight per cent on exchange. Mer-
chants and others are forced to carry
their accounts in Mexican silver. The
commercial community had relied up
on the United States Philippine Com
mission to continue the situation of
two Mexican dollars for one gold dol
lar. which the commission itself ere
ated. The commission is unable to act

GOV. JENKINS BOUNCED
FOR MISUSE OF OFFICE

Washington, Dec. 1.-The President
yesterday appointed Thomas Il. Fergu-
son governor of Oklahoma, vice Will
lam NJ. jenkins, removed. In taking
this action the President attached to
the papers the following memorandum:
Governor jenkins of Oklahoma is
hereby removed because of his i'm
proper connection with n contract be
tween the territory and the Oklahoma
Saniiarium Company. The decision is
based wholly upon his own written
statements, and his oral explanations
of them at the hearing.
''One of the duties of the territorial
governor is to enter into the contract
with some person or corporation for
keeping the insane of the territory.
Governor Jenkins made such contract
with the Oklahoma Sanitarium, a cor
poration. the promoters of which re-
served $4,000 of its stock for the gov
ernor and subject to his orders.
In the governors explanation of the
affair he says he told the promoters at
the time they desired him to sanction
the contract that it was an important
contract; that i had some friends
whom l would like to have interests in
the company, to which | owed some OBJ

pay with an appointment or anything
of that kind The stock was delivered
to Il banker subject to the governors
order and was turned over to these
friends whose political services the
governor thus sought to reward.
The extent of the favor to the gov
ernor and his friends is suggested by
the fact that the only known sale Of
the stock since the contract was given
out was at double the price paid for it.
AS performance of the contract was
to be the sole business of the corpora
ton, it is obvious that the territory was
obligated to pay far more than the SER
vice was worth, or that its helpless
wards were to have the enormous prof
its contemplated taken out of their
keep.
The governors confessed relations
to the matter displayed such Il lack of
appreciation of the high fiduciary ma
ture of the duties of his office as to
unfit him for their further discharge.
"A sound rule Of public policy and
morals forbids public servant from
seeking or accepting any personal bene-
lit in transaction wherein he has a
public duty to perform.
"A chancellor would not for one mo-
ment retain trustee. who. in dealing
for the trust, reserved an advantage to
himself. The thought is not to be toll
Grated that the President can be less
vlgllant and eXacting in the public in
tercSt."
The above memorandum is signed by

of this matter.
The stores of Manila are compelled
to accept two Mexican dollars for one
gold dollar. while Chinese spectators
are paying as high as six per cent.
premium in American paper money for
American gold.
Local bankers say that If the salaries
of all insular employees We're paid in

pendently of the fluctuations of this
currency, and if the government had
not attempted to enforce rate of eX-
change, the present financial situation

DENVER'S CITY HALL BUILDING
PARTLY DESTROYED BY FIRE

Denver. Dec. 1.-Fire, which It Is
supposed was of inccndiasy origin.
partly destroyed Denvers city hall
las, night. City officials are without
offices and the Police Department has
no jail for its prisoners, valuable rec
ords. maps and plans have been lost
ana the greater part of the furnishings
OF the building are destroyed.
Within an hour last night three fires
were discovered in different parts of
the big building
At $50 o'clock Police Clerk Robert
y. Pearson and Fred Boyer, chief IL
cense clerk, discovered fire in the
basement. \ closet under the stair
way leading from the basement to the
FIRST floor of the building, which had
been filled with rags and paper. was
the scene of the first blaze. which was
cNtinguished with little difficulty.
AT 6:l5 o'clock A. l.. Bing and Ed
ward Richards. who We're in the oper-
ators room on the fourth floor of the
city hall on the Fourteenth and Mar
kct street corner, discovered that there
was II fire in the dressing room of the
gymnasium, located above the oper-
ators' room. Upon investigation they
found the lockers which lined the
rooms were in flames. The operators
notified the firemen in the basement of
the city hall and the blaze was ex-
tinGuished with little difficulty.

when five firemen We're entrapped on
a narrow cornice on the tower on the
Larimer street side and stood in the
midst OF smoke and flames for nearly
half an hour before their companions
We're able to rescue them.
Nearly all of the city officials were
at the city hall within forty-five min
utes after the first alarm was sounded.
1t was Mt first believed that the fire
could be confined to the top tioor. but
when 1t was seen that there was dan
ger that 1t might destroy the entire
building n volunteer force was organ
lied to carry out the more valuable
documents and records from the va.
rious offices. Public officials, citizens
and firemen rushed into the building
to carry out armfuls of big books,
packages of papers, maps and furni-
ture. Notwithstanding their efforts
many valuable documents. maps.
drawings and records were destroyed
by fire and water.
The loss on the building is estimated
at about SIO,OS.
The loss on furniture is amply coy
cred by the $1,000 policy, but loss of
$4,000 approximately was sustained
on maps and blue prints of public work
in progress and valuable records in the
Health Department chemical and bac-
THEOLOGICAL laboratories and in other
departments. some of which must be
replaced, and some of which cannot be
replaced.
The total loss. therefore. is approyi-
mately 100000. and S21. 500 of this is
not covered by insurance.
