Waste in Army Transport Service.

rs another evidence of the beauties
of empire building beyond the seas
great waste of government money in
the transport service between san
Francisco and the Philippines is re-
vealcd in an official report sent to
the house by Secretary Root. The
statements are contained i'm reports
of Inspector General Chamberlain
and Lieut.. Col. Maus and are the re-
suit of careful investigation made by
those officers.
Secretary Roots communication Is
in response to a resolution adopted
by the house March - calling upon
him for all the facts that have come
TO his knowledge as TO the conduct of
the transport service.
1t is charged by the army officers
who made the investiga ton that in
the fitting out of transports prefer
ences were made in the interest of
special firms. In some cases il is
said the cost of furnishing the trans
ports was 100 per cent above the rul-
ing prices of material at that time.
Other statements show that there
was negligence i'm the supervision of
the fitting out of vessels: that there
was no advertising for bids for ma
teriaIs. and that the government re-
ccived little or no protection.

CURIOUS KOREAN CUSTOM.
The Battle of stones which Marks
beginning of New Year.

The Battle of stones which Marks
beginning of New Year.
One of the most curious customs in
Korea marks the advent of the new
year This is the battle with stones.
participated in by inhabitants of Seoul.
At a spot about a mile and half out
side the city walls, on the main road to
the Han river, the people assemble by
thousands either as witnesses of or par
Elephants in this truly remarkable exhi-
bition of warlike good will. By previ-
Gus arrangement piles of stones are in
readiness, all carefully selected and of
q convenient size.
Without previous selection Of COM
batants the participants form them
selves into opposing armies, about the
only qualification for service being APP
parently the ability 10 hurl n stone at
the advancing forces of the enemy. At
first the stone throwing is at long range
and uninteresting, but as the throwing
continues the forces draw nearer, and
the fight wakes fast and furious, men
being detailed TO collect the stones into
heaps again or fetch fresh ammunition
for the firing line. Then the clash
comes. the two bodies meet. fierce rush
es are made. stones are discarded, and
knives and clubs are freely used. The
clash OF weapons, the screams of the
cOmbatants. the surging mass of men,
some being trampled to death. now
falling. now struggling TO their feet. the
blood flowing from numerous cuts-the
whole goes To make n picture that de-
picts anything but the joy we attribute
to the coming OF new year. The fight
is kept up until the clang of the great
city bell tells the combatants that ii is
time to return home.
Perhaps the most singular feature
of the celebration is that during the
remaining eleven months of the year
the Korean is as amiable person as
can be found in any country. and by
some writer's the average Korean is
chara cterized as the most abject cow
ard on the face of the earth.
But. towards or no towards. the
Korean people still indulge. as they
have for years, in this annual warlike
welcome Of the new year. Indeed ii is
legal i'm Korea to fight not only on
New Years day, but during the first
moon or month of the year. The Gus
tom has become "A national institution.
sanctioned by the government and
patronized by the king and the nObili-
~. The police attend the battles, but
merely to keep order among the specta-
tors. Fighting is the Koreans privi-
lege with the advent of each new year.

The way to Smash Trusts.

Quincy Herald: Some of the indus
trial trusts that are chiefly made of
wind and water. are falling into hard
lines. They do not stand publicity
and investigation by competent eX-
perts oft reveals methods of finance
that are positively criminal. Since "a
receivership has been placed over the
affairs of the Asphalt trust dis
closures of the most shocking char
acter have been made. An auditing
company went all over the books and
their report showed that the trust
had earned less than 20 per cent of
the amount necessary TO pay the fixed
charges: in other words. it had paid
dividends which must have
come from the money which new in
vestOrs paid for their bonds. These
bonds were largely taken as invest
ments for trust funds. No less than.

AT the last Legislature a bill was
passed, allowing the Board of Snper-
visors OF Tazewell to borrow for read
purposes, the sum OF $4,000. We are
informed that the Board has arranged
with one OF the Banks OF the town to
borrow part Of the amount.
There Is a good deal of criticism of
the Boards action in placing the bonds
privately, without allowing the other
bank, and probably private individuals
who may have a surplus, to compete
for the loan. 1t is said that such
bonds ought to have been sold at n
premium, and lower rate OF interest
secured If the public had been given
an opportunity TO bid for them. The
Board is composed OF Messrs McGraw.
Neel and Fuller.
