WILCOX AND HIS
FOUR HUNDRED
HAS RECEIVED A VOUCHER BUT
WILL HAVE TO WAIT SOME
TINE FOR MONEY.

Charles Wilcox, former secretary of
the Board of Health is as far as ever
from getting the $400 for his extra ser
vices" to the Board of Health during
plague times, and it begins to look as
If he might have to wait and ask the
next legislature to appropriate it for
him. He has secured half a voucher in
a special form to meet the Circum-
stances of the case, but even if Or.
Sloggett approves the voucher Acting
Auditor Meyers will not issue a warrant
on it, and there appears to be no chance
of getting a regular voucher.
The audit act provides that before is
suing warrant for salary the auditor
shall have voucher, approved by the
head of the department concerned, in
which it shall be stated that the SER
vices for which the pay is asked were
faithfully performed" This being
the case, the auditor says he cannot is
sue warrant on a voucher that does
not contain such a certificate.
Dr. Sloggett, president of the Board
of Health, has now refused to sign even
a voucher which does not contain the
words faithfully performed" Such a
voucher, certifying that an appropria-
tion was made, was signed by Secretary
Charlock, but DR.. Sloggett refused to
place his name under the words "Ap-
ance of the services, Sloggett says he
was not president OF the Board when
Wilcox did the alleged work for which
the appropriation was made, while DR..
Wood, who was the president at that
time, declines to make a certification.
For these reasons the voucher has not
yet reached the auditor, and is still in
the possession of Attorney Brooks, WHO
represents Wilcox, but when it does
reach the auditor it will be turned down
and Wilcox will be told to get his
superior officers to certify that he did
the extra work for which he wants pay.
1t is claimed by the members of the
Board that Wilcox did not do extra
work, but that most of it was done by
f. r, Hendry, who was employed as
secretary after the plague began.
An action will probably be begun in
the circuit court to discover how the
money is to be secured. The appropria-
ton was made and there is no doubt
about the intent of the Legislature to
have S400 paid to Charles Wilcox, but
the lawmakers overlooked the provi-
sions of the audit act when they adopt
ed the wording of the special appro-
priation for the benefit of the Home
Rule delegates brother, who was the

WORK OF CLERKS
MORE IMPORTANT
LARGE INCREASE OF BUSINESS
THE CAUSE OF RAISING THE
BONDS-CLERKs ALL QUALIFY.

The large increase in the business of
the first circuit court is responsible for
the order increasing the bonds of the
clerks to $500. The order was made
by Chief Justice Frear, who has the
power to fix bonds at whatever figure
he deems proper. The fact that there
are a lot of unwritten minutes in the
courts, extending back over a year,
some of the former clerks having failed
to do their work, is also said to have
had something to do with the order for
the higher bond. The bond is for faith
full performance of duty as well as for
cash handled by the clerks.
The clerks have all secured the re-
quired bonds, and none of them had
any difficulty. There was a good deal
of surprise when the order was made
known, as the sums ordinarily handled
by the clerks are very small. In some
cases, however, judgments are paid into
the hands of the clerks, to be. turned
over to successful litigants, and con-
siderable sums of current expenses
money are handled by the clerks at
times. The troubles in the treasury and
public works departments precipitated
an action that had been in contempla-
tiOn some time.
Chief Justice Frear spoke of the
matter to me a short time ago." said
First Judge De Bolt. There has been
very large increase in the business of
the first circuit since the bond was
fixed at $1,000, which was many years
ago. The duties of a clerk are there's
fore much more important and for this
reason the chief justice thought that
the bond should be increased. The or
der only applies to the first circuit"

MAGOON REMAINS
AS THE GUARDIAN
SUPREME COURT REVERSES GEAR
IN THE BECKY PANEE SPEND
THRIFT TRUST.

The Supreme Court today reversed
the decree of Judge Gear terminating
the Rebecca Panee Humeku spend
thrift trust. The court declares that
Becky is still a spendthrift ana that
her relief, if she does not receive a
large enough allowance, is in the pro-
bdLe court. The opinion of the court
written by Justice Perry, contains the
following:
The word in this case has not shown
that the guardianship is no longer nee
eSSary. On the contrary the evidence
before us clearly shows that sna had
not prior to the filing of this aprlica-
tion reformed as to her habits OF GrnN-
ing and that she was until then ad-
dicted to the excessive use of intnNicat-
ing liquors. 1t apI ears that in 1895 she
underwent certain treatment known
as the Hagey Golden Cure, intended to
cause the desire for alcoholic liquors to
cease, ard that for a period OF about
one year she abstained from the use Of
such liquors. Thereafter. however, as
clearly shown by the evidence, she re-
lapsed into her former habits and
drank excessively. Hpon the evidence
we are satisfied further, that by rea-
son of excessive drinking the applicant
would, Il the guardianship were ter-
minated, so waste, spend and lessen
her estate as to expose herself to want
and suffering. ."
IF the condition Of the wards prop
erty and the income thereof are such
as to warrant or require as a matter
of justice the allowance to her or for
her use of a larger sum at stated Ier-
iods than she has hitherto received
from the guardian, or If the guardian
mas been in any way remiss in the per-
formance of his duty. those are mat
ters which may be adjusted and rem
edied by the Circuit Judge in Probate
upon proper application"
Justice Galbraith gives separate
concurring opinion, in which he says
it may be gathered from ihe facts:
THAT the ward is a person without
business capacity or a proper sense OF
the value OF money or property; that
she is a spendthrift within the terms
of the statute; that there are a num-
ber of persons who are willing to as
sist her in the management and dis
sipation of her estate that the estate
has been prudenty managed by the
guardian; that while the ward has no,
been provided with a house in keeping
with the value of her estate, this nee
essity can be as we'll met unde- thd
guardianship as by its termination"
Galbraith remarks that he does not
view the spendthrift trust Law with
amy degree of pride" but that it may
answer useful and necessary purpose
in this Territory.

The mission of the deputation was

is said most high officials in Chill are

tation is a rugged looking Japanese of

the commercial and industrial interests
of his country, is charged by his gov
eminent to investigate and report on

ties in Chilli for japanese laborers, with
"a view to possible immigration thither
from Japan and particularly from the
province of Hakkaido, one of the north
ern provinces.

CAUSED RHODES DEATH.
Princess Radizwiii Sentenced to Two
Years in Prison.

Cape Town, April 3O.-Princess
Radizwill was today sentenced to
two years in the house of correction
on the charge of forgery in connection
with the notes Of Cecil Rhodes.
The attorney general made a long
address in which he cautioned the
jury against being mystified by tele.
grams from "hard-brained individuals
like Wm. Stead and Others" and al
legged discriminating documents which
were merely "the ordinary armament
of the blackmailer." Continuing. he
said:
Nothing could be more gross and
treacherous than the prisoners be.
havior throughout"
He appealed to the jury to arrive
at a verdict on the evidence, which
would rid society. temporarily, at
least. "tof a cruel and dangerous WON
an"
Summing up, the chief justice said
that there was no suggestion through
out the correspondence that Mrs.
Schultz had given the prisoner the
bills as alleged. This was important,
he said, because If the jury found the
accused had received the bills they
must acquit her, but II satisfied she
had used fraudulently the name of
the late Cecil Rhodes. they must con-
vict her. The contention Of the de-
tense that no one had suffered in con-
sequence of the forgeries, he declared
to be untenabie.
He cautioned the jury to disregard
the prisoners noble birth and ante
cedents and to decide the Ease accord
ing to strict justice.
After a brief retirement the jury
brought in a verdict of guilty on all
the counts against her.
The chief justice then addressed
the prisoner impressively. He refer
red to her birth. her education and
her position in society. He deplored
the two dark features Of her case.
namely, attempts to incriminate in
nocent Mrs. Schultz and the bribing
of the boy In the employ Of the post
office to forge the date line on al al.
legged cablgram from B. A. Hawksley.
Owing to her delicate health, the
chief justice said he would not have
her perform hard labor, but that she
would be confined for two years in
