advisability of appointing reputable
democrats to federal offices here and
there in the south and giving the cold
shoulder to the moss back southern

President Roosevelt is turning to-

CHICAGO OIL INSPECTOR IN
DICTED FOR EMBEZZLING.
IS PROMINENT DEMOCRAT
Chairman Of Democratic County
Central Committee and Friend
of Mayor Harrison.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-The grand jury
tonight voted two indictments against
Robert E. Burke, city oil inspector.
The charge is embeZzlement of the
funds of his office. In one instance
a shortage Of $14, 900 is alleged, and
in the other $4,000 is said to be miss
ing.
Several days ago representatives of
the Standard Oil company told the
grand jury that they had paid as fees
to Burke in his capacity Of city oil
inspector certain sums of money
which the grand jury could not find
in the inspectors accounts with the
city. The matter was taken up again
today and after a long investigation
it was found that there was in one
case a shortage of $4,000 between the
amout paid by the Standard Oil com
pany and that reported in the re-
ceipts of the Office by Burke. The
item of $4,000 was found in the same
| maner.
Burke is chairman of the demo
cratic county central committee and
is one Of the leading democratic pol
iticians in Chicago. He has held the
Office Of oil inspector ever since Car.
ter Harrison has been mayor of Chi
cago and is regarded as a close polit'
ical friend of Mayor Harrison. Strong
efforts were made during the day by
Burke and his friends to prevent his
indictment. Burke, before the in
| dictments were returned, paid into
the Office of the states attorney $50,
900 to cover any shortages that might
be found in his accounts, and late
this evening prominent democratic
politicians made strong efforts tc
have the jury return no indictments
because of the payment Of money
made by Burke. Their efforts were
in vain, however, and the indictment:
were found. Burke was not arrested
tonight and could not be found a
his home. There will be no difficulty
about his arrest tomorrow or Mon
day, however, as he will surrendel
himself to his bondsmen.

General chaffee Proposes to Give Ma

Washington, Oct. 5.-Last advices
from the Philippines indicate that
the military authorities intend to
take prompt and vigorous measures
for the suppression Of the Insured
ton in the island of Samar and that
attention will be directed first to the
summary punishment of the treach-
erous natives who took part in the
massacre of company G of the Ninth
infantry at Balangiga. There is,
therefore, every prospect that the
island of Samar will be the theatre
of active hostilitieis for some time
to come as it is the purpose of Gen
eral Chaffee to teach the rebellious
inhabitants a lesson and force them
to respect the power and sovereignty
of the United States.

pointments Ridiculed.

London, Oct. Am spite Of the
pledges of the government the whole
army machine Is to be hauled back as
oon as it may be to the old ruts Of
impotence, pretense and collapse"
writes Rudyard Kipling in a striking
letter to the Spectator Upon the ap-
pointments of Sir Redvers Butler and
Sir Evelyn Wood to command army
corps.
This pungent sentence voices the
national feeling that has prevailed
this week without regard to party
politics.
Men see," adds MI. Kipling, that
the chosen commanders are not quite
in touch with the real army, which
with little tact and little seriousness
might so easily survive. 1t is not the
triviality or inaptitude displayed in
this matter that appeals, but cynical
levity."
Very much on these lines all the
weeklies, regardless Of politics, take
the government to task.
"The English people," again to
quote from Kipling's letter, "have
paid no small sum in money and in
blood that there might be born an
army handled by fit and proper lead.
ers."
The Spectator although among sthe
most cautious Of the government sup
porters, comes out boldly, not only
with the declaration hat the appoint
ments of Generals Butler and Wood
are absurd but also with the demand
that Lord Kitchener be recalled.
This demand is Enthusiastically worded

PRESIDENT IMPOSED on.
Result Of Promise to Garry Out Nc
kinIey's Plans

Washington Dispatch: Persons
close to President Roosevelt say he is
already being made the victim of IN
scrupulous politicians and the presi-
dent is understood to have discovered
the imposition and to have determined
to put a stop to it During the solemn
hours following upon the death of
President Mckinley, Colonel Roose-
welt voluntarily announced that he
would appoint without hesitation to
any Office whatever, any man who had
actually been selected for that place
by President Mckinley He began this
by the appointment of Mr. Ridgley of
Illinois as controller of the currency,
merely upon the assurance by Secre-
tary Cortelyou that President McKin-
ley had already fully determined to
appoint Mr. Rldgely.
Since then two or three similar cas-
es although for minor offices, have
come up, President Roosevelt has fol-
lowed his original plan without hes
itation. 1t soon became evident, how
ever, that designing politicians were
making use of this announcement to
further their wv ends. Almost every
man who has seen the president about
an Office within the last week or so
has declared with manifold emotion
that President Mckinley had already
agreed to appoint his man Many OF
these applicants had witnesses to the
fact. and President Roosevelt was
gradually drawn into a perfect whirl
pool, which derived it's motive power
from the tragedy at Buffalo.
Unfortunately for the designs OF
these schemers, several cases have ap
peared where rival aspirants for the
same office have each been put for
ward as the particular man who ha6
been promised the place by President
Mckinley and each fellow had wit
nesses to back up his statement. L
was evident in these cases that some
one was lying, and the president has
been forced to insist that the inten
lions of Mr.. Mckinley in such case:
must be established by some officia
act, or the communication OF his in
tention to some responsible official.
This system of graveyard insurance
as applied to practical politics hal
been extensively tried in the south
Every one of the southern republican
now in Office has asserted, either per
sonally or by proxy, that he had bee1
guaranteed retention in his plac
either by President Mckinley in pei
son or else by Senator Hanna as hi
political and personal representative
The game has been played to tn
limit, and President Roosevelt has dc
cided to take matters into his owl
hands. He will not recognize vagu
promises made long ago, nor, indeed
will he consider anything except
positive promise, made by Presiden
Mckinley. either to a cabinet ONCE
or a senator and of recent date.
