FOR THREE YEARS
BANK CASHIER
PILFERED

HELENA, Mont, Feb. ia special to
The Independent from Great Falls, Mont,
says that H H. Matteson, who on jan
uary confessed to embezzling $4,000 from
the First National bank, while acting as
cashier, is now known to have taken s17S,-
O00, his operations extending over three
years
The facts were made known at meet
ing of the bank directors yesterday and
another complaint was sworn out against
Matteson, who was out on 5000 ball He
was taken before a commissioner and his
bail fixed at $4,000, the new charge be-
ing that he embezzled $4,000 on October
20.
Matteson was not found until late last
night. He could not furnish the new
bond and he will probably be taken to
Helena and lodged in jail.
National Bank Examiner Lazear states
that If Matteson should secure bail on
the second charge he will be at once re-
arrested on a charge of embezzling SIS
900. The bank officers became convinced
that Matteson was preparing to leave and
that was the principal reason for having
him arrested on a second charge and hav-
ing the bail increased. 1t now develops
that the entertainments began in Decem-
Der. 1898.

NO DEPOT in SIGHT; I1
ROADS ASK FOR PLANS
Railroad Men Claimed To
Be Disappointed Be-
cause No Plans
Were Prepared.

Another meeting between the depot
commission and the railroad officials has
been held, and yet the depot problem is as
far from being solved as it was four
years ago. Without any plans and with
out having made any arrangements at all
further than having the depot bill which
was passed by the last legislature on
hand, he depot commission met yesterday
morning and was ready to sign up a con-
tract with the railroads for a new station.
But the railroad officials would not move,
and they declare that they will not move
until some plans are prepared and are
satisfactory to them.
Railroad officials further declared that
the present space was not available, and
they would not be willing to enter into a
contract with the state until 1t can be
shown to them conclusively that there is
plenty of room for depot which will
meet all the requirements of the roads
now and 20 years from now. In fact,
things look rather blue for the state build
ing a depot. despite the hard work in the
legislature last year. It is doubtful now
extremely soft the railroads will accept
plans of the state after they are drawn up.
President Samuel Spencer of the South
ern, pounced on the commission yesterday
morning for failing to be ready to enter
into a. contract, and for not having plans
drawn so the railroads could see them.
Major Hanson, of the Central, made sim
liar remarks.
The meeting adjourned without anything
definite being done, except the railroads
agreeing to the appointment of a conn
mittee to meet with a committee from the
commission to investigate the present
site ahd ascertain If there is space enough
for depot The officials were evil
IDENTIFY disappointed They claim that
they are willing to help the state out. If
the state can make the necessary showing,
but until that showing is made, nothing
can or will be done by them.

OATH BOUND CLANS
IS ONLY MENACE
IN MANILA
GOVERNOR TAFT SAYS SECRET
ORGANIZATIONS Is ONE or
GREATEST EVILS AMONG
FILlPINos.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1s.-Before the
senate committee on Philippines Governor
Taft says the massacre OF troops in Sa-
mar had a startling effect upon the army
and created suspicion and fear OF treach-
cry IN other sections. The governor did
not think. however, such apprehension
justified and said he felt as safe in Mani
la as in Washington. Civilians seldom
carry arms there.
With this remark Governor Taft passed
from the consideration Of the question Of
tranquility TO a discussion of the treason
and seditiOn laws. He said that while
Manila is quiet and has been practically
so ever since the American occupation, II
Is still used as a center Of agencies for
the promotion OF insurrection. There was
always there a party of irreconcilables.
Nothing had, he said. been done for the
enactment OF such laws until the estab-
lishment Of the civil government. 1t then
became evident that the Filipino junta
was preparing TO locate in that city, ma
king that point the center for their prop
uganda. Governor Wright was therefore
directed TO prepare a law on this subject
and had done so.
The denunciation of the secret socie-
ties had been inserted, he said. because
they had made their chief instrument Of
agitation against the United States.
The commission had felt that secret So
cieties were one OF the most fruitful aids
TO the war and had taken the position
that political agitation should be con-
fined to open meetings and prevented in
oath bound societies. If the people under
stood the question there would be no
objection TO peaceable agitation but I'M
der the circumstances the commission had
felt that the suspension OF right to advo-
cate independence was not such a depri-
walton OF the right Of free speech as could
be justified by the presence Of war, when
for the benefit of the whole people It
should be suppressed.
At least one OF the societies had for
one Of its main purposes assassination,
being thus like the malta.

MACON DECLINES TO
INCREASE FIREMEN

MACON, Feb. 19.-The city council last
night refused to add a new fire company
to its department, as The Journal fore
told would be the case.
The council agreed that the fire depart
ment in Macon is as efficient as any in
the south, both in point Of numbers and
skill at fire fighting. 1t was also agreed
that as there are eight or ten insurance
companies in Macon who are not in the
Southeastern Tariff association, and these
companies state that the citizens viii not
be benefited by any action taken by the
Southeastern Tariff association, it would
be useless to expend any more money at
the dictation of the tariff association until
there was some assurance that there
would be benefit from such expenditure.

TRANSPORTS FROM
MANILA WILL STOP
The News Brought by Buford.
Quarantine at Nsgasaki
the Reason.

Information was received by the Blu
ford that in future all transports bound
for San Francisco from Manila will cal
at Honolulu.
Captain Williamson. on being interro-
gated about the matter yesterday. said
that he had heard the report but had
received no intination. official or 9TH
erwIse. as to the movements OF the
transports from Manila The arrival
OF the Buford on Monday, he stated
was quite unlocked for by him.
Dr. Cofer. the United States quar-
antine officer. said to a reporter yes
terday that the epidemic of cholera in
Manila, might cause the western trans
ports TO call here for coal as the port
of Nagasaki was closed against them
on account OF the presence of cholera
In the Philippines.
Asked as to whether the calling here
OF transports under such conditions
would not constitute a menace to this
community. DIR. Cofer said:
mo. IL Honolulu Is unfortunate
enough TO have a visitation OF cholera
IL will be brought by the merchant
ships and not by the transports. which
comply TO the fullest extent with the
cholera regulations. Take the case OF
the Buford. for instance: a case of
diarrheoa occurred when the vessel
was two days out from Manila No
chances were taken and the transport
was put back. Before a transport can
leave Manila she must undergo a FIVE
days quarantine.
There Is a first-class quarantine
plant in Manila, probably the most
complete in existence. and just as good
as money can buy. The staff OF quar-
antine officers at Manila are thoroughly
men and the best which
could be obtained TO fill their positions.
So you see that have very good rea-
sons for thinking that there is no dan
ger whatever OF cholera being brought
from Manila by a transport"
The officers OF the Buford state that
, local order was issued prior 10 the |
vessel leaving Manila. that in future |
Ill transports bound for San Fran
,isco would call at Honolulu, on ac-
count OF the twenty-one days quaran-
Inc being enforced by the authorities
