understood that Chairman Payne and
Representative Dalzell made the over
lures toward an agreement and asked
for an answer.
Soon after the overtures were made
the leaders of the element opposed to-
the ways and means committee PLAN
called a conference. Some 30 men,

lasted about two hours.
The sentiment was rather unfavor-
able to accepting the plan of 90 per

it was urged against this course that

WHERE DOES YOUR MONEY GOs

WHERE DOES YOUR MONEY Goa
One week from today. Tuesday,
again occurs the annual village cleo
tion. During the past year some twen-
ty four thousand dollars have been
turned into the village treasury, the
receipts of taxes and revenues from
other sources, and how many of our
citizens can tell where it has gone.
There are, to be true, some improve
ments that can be pointed to with
some degree OF pride, but outside Of
these there were good many dollars
expended that few, have have any
knowledge of. Our present council
is composed of our most successful
business men and we have not the
slightest idea but what they have
wisely and judisciously expended
every cent but to what extent does
the tax payer know where the
money has gone. The tax payers
have thrown it into the hopper and
that is the last of they know Of it's
whereabouts. There is one attitude
demonstrated by the tax payers silence,
that is they have the utmost conf
dence in the officers at the head Of
village affairs or there would be
more of a clamor for an accounting.
' Blue prints are made annually
of the financial transactions of
of the village at a
small EXPENSE. but what satisfact-
ion is there in standing in front of
some large window and endeavor to
learn where village funds have been
used. In nearly every village il this
part of the state the size of Adrian
and those with a larger population
have published an itemined account
Of the village finances. Counties do
this, states do this and the govern
ment also, it is information that the
citizens have a right to know, and
the only way they can be informed
is to have a statement published.
It will cost something to be sure but
almost any tax payer would be glad
to pay his pro rata of epxense to
have the statement of the disposition
OF funds published that he night
have it in the home where in the
quiet hour, it could be- investigated
and considered. The tax payer
would then be- il g position to make
from his own knowledge, recomlnen-.
dations and suggestions which any
public officer, as rule. always we
CLONE. .
The finances handled inou village
now reach an enormous amount an
nually, and it is due the tax payer
that statement be published. No
iuvidividual would think of conduct
ing his own affairs with out know
ing where his funds are going, there
fore, it is incumbent upon village
officers to render to tn. tax payer in
an itemized form and a in a manner
that is convenient to be duly con-
sidered at convenience, statement
of the receipts and disbursements of
the village funds during their re-
spective terms Of Office. Tax payers
should call for the rendering of the
statement, otherwise they are ig-
norant of the use made of their hard
earned dollars Call for his report.

worse came, this morning, and death

Virginia, and her sister. He was 6S
years of age. The body will be taken

he came to Washington so that he might
attend the banquet of the Scientists, in
tending then to go to his beautiful home
in Charlestown, w. Va.
Mr.. Stockton was a Philadelphia by

draughtsman. but soon abandoned this
occupation for journalism. Many years
ago however he retired from newspaper
work and devoted himself to literature.
His reputation as a story writer was
world wide.

PRESIDENTS CONGRATULATIONS
Forwarded to Gen. Bell With Letter by
Gen. Chaffee.

Manila, April 20.-Surrenders TO the
American authorities of small parties
of insurgents are reported daily, ana
these have increased since the recent
surrender of the insurgent General
Malvar. General Roufin, with 70 OIL
GERS and 375 soldiers, has surrendered
to the native conStabulary in the pro-
vince of Misamis, in Mindanao. where
the constabulary are cooperating with
the military.
Gen. Chaffee has forwarded to Gen.
j. Franklin Bell the congratulations
sent the latter by President Roosevelt
upon the recent campaign in BatanSas
and Laguna provinces conducted by
Gen. Bell. Gen. Chaffee forwarded the
Presidents communication through
Gen. Lloyd Wharton and in an accom-
panying letter he expressed his great
pleasure at the receipt by Gen. Bell of
the Presidents congratulations.
No American troops, says Gen. Chat
fee, have before been charged with q
task more difficult of accomplishment.
With an exception in the matter of
ToIrain only our comrades in the island
of Samar have campaigned under such
difficulties. So unique has been the sit
uation i'll BatangaS and Laguna, con-
Times Cen Chaffee in his letter, that
only person thoroughly familiar with
it by actual contact can appreciate the
conditions which have been met and
overcome. or fairly determine what
were the best methods to accomplish
the objects, namely, the recognition OF
the sovereignty of the United States
and the establishment of peace and or
der in the disturbed sections.
Gen. Chaffee concludes by saying
that because of Gen. Bells never fail
ing care of his troops and his encour-
agement to them in their labors, they
share in the congratulations from
President Roosevelt.

THEY USE THE LASH.
But on Men Who Threaten Immigrants,
Not the Immigrants.

New York, April 20.-COmmissioner
Of Emigration tftchie received orders
from Washington, today, to investigate
published stories that immigrants who
land in this city at the Battery are
brutally treated by the special police
on duty there. A Brooklyn resident
sent batch of these stories to PreSi-
dent Roosevelt and accompanied it
with Il statement that one of the in
stances he knew, from personal obser-
walton, to be true. The President af-
ter looking over the papers, sent them
to Sec. Shaw, who in turn forwarded
them to Mr.. Fitchie with orders to
apply the probe. The instance men
toned was that the special police car
ried rawhide whips. with which they
beat the immigrants. driving the for
eigners before them like so many cat
tie.
Commissioner Richie Is already out
I'm a denial Of the charges. He and
his police declare that it is not the
immigrants who are dashed with whips.
1t is, they say, the horde of hotel run
ners, idlers, sharks and other men who
have no legitimate business at the Bat
terry and who menace the immigrants
as they land. The officers declare that
the only way to get rid of these pests,
as they term them, is to use violence.
