DESERTED TO
THE ENEMY
TWO coLoRED SOLDIERS TRIED
AND CONVICTED.
SENTENCED TO BE HANGED
President Declined to Interfere and
Probable That Both Have
Paid Penalty.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Two soldiers
undoubtedly were hanged in the Phil
lppines today in pursuance of sen
fences imposed by a military commits
sion, as they were tried for and con
victed Of assertion to the enemy.
Their names were Edward A. Dubose
and Lewis Russell, and both were at
tached to Company z of Ninth Cav
airy, a negro regiment.
While their company was operating
against insurgents in the province of
Altbay, in August last, the two men
deserted and We're afterwards found
serving in the ranks of the enemy,
the military commission before which
they were tried sat at Guinobatan,
in the province Of Albay. They were
found guilty Of the charge, and each
was sentenced to be hanged Friday,
February Z. The findings and SEN
tence were approved by General Chat
fee.
In view of the fact that this was the
first case where the commanding gen.
eral had directed execution Of the SEN
tence of death against enlisted men
without reference to the war depart
ment, the case was laid before Presi-
dent Roosevelt in time to prevent the
execution in case he desired to do so.
The president, after consultation with
the secretary of war, declined to inter-
fere, and a cable message to this eff
feet vas sen to General Chaffee We'd
nesday. N.
Although no official information to
that effect has been received. it is
assumed at the war department hat
the sentence of death in each case
was carried into effect today.

DEALT IN FORCED PAPER
LARGE AMOUNT DISPOSED OF BY
BELWOOD BANK.
Notes, Real Estate and ChatteI Mort.
cages Were All the Same to
Cashier Gould.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. IA special
from David City, says: The forged
paper sold by the defunct Platte Val
ley bank Of Belwood has already
reached an aggregate of $3.50, 900 and
it may largely exceed this. Customers
of Cashier Amos Gould, from Laporte
and Michigan City, Indiana, are here,
and claim that in every instance the
notes and mortgages held by them are
forgeries. Real estate mortgages have
been forged, including certificates of
filing and recording, giving book and
page while this week several chattel
mortgages have been received by
banks and attorneys here for collec-
ton that are also forged. Gould, it is
charged, kept a private book where
he had a record of all the forged notes,
the amount Of each. and date of matur-
ing and when one of those notes ma
tured he would replace it with another
forged note and pay the holder the in
terest. Gould, it is alleged, claims
had it not been for the blowing up of
the bank safe a short time ago, in
which his private book where he kept
the records of all forged notes, was
destroyed, he would not have been
detected and he would be still run
ming the bank. The cashier and his
brother are still in iail. The day of
their arraignment has not been set.

Cumberland. Md. Feb. AT 3
O'Clock this morning the farm house
OF William P. Robertson, about 20

Robertson children, Pearl, Owen, Eff
fie and Joseph, the oldest 10 and the
youngest 4 years. were cremated.
The fire. which is thought to have
started from sparks from an open
hearth, spread so rapidly that Mr..
and Mrs. Robertson found all means
of escape gone for the children, who
were asleep in another room, and were
compelled to. jump from a second
story window dressed only in the
night clothes, in order to save their
own lives. The parents made several
futile attempts to reach the children
but were driven back by the flames,
and after the fire had subsidized some.
what they were almost frozen before
aid came from the neighbo~s. Mr..
Robertson claims the hearth fire was
well covered and that the fire which
started from the lower floor must have
been Of ~incedniary origin.
The tragedy recalls the murder of
an old mar named Kessler and the
burning of his house; also the burn
ing of the house of an old woman in
which she and her g%randchild lost
their lives, both of which occurred sew
eral years ago in the vicinity of the
Robertson fire.
