far under advisement. On this subject
Mr. Easley said:
The plan as immaturely prepared
is as follows:
We will be forced to appoint aux
iliary committees in all Of the large
labor centers. 1t will be necessary
to form these committees of repre-

TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE
Where q Great Deal Of the Saving Claimed
BY the Democrats Has Come from-Re.
publican Officials Responsible.

Seven United States prisoners are now
confined in the county Jail tor the keep
ing Of which the government pays to the
county IS cents per day for each prisoner
thereby making the Jail at present not
only self supporting but profitable
boarding house. This money had always
been retained by the sheriff until Audi
tor Stookey requested au opinion of
County Attorney Johnson which, when
given, required this money to be turned
into the county treasury thus saving
hundreds of dollars to the county and
establishing a precedent which means
thousands Of dollars.
Prior to Mr., Stookey's administration
virtually no money was turned into the
county by the auditors Office and besides
this the county paid $500 year for
deputy hire. Since Mr. Stookey took
charge the same has been self supporting
and he has in addition thereto turned
over $1,000 to the county. A record book
is now KEEP, which gives every tax payer
an opportunity to tell at a glance the rx-
act cost of each Office during the year
and tax payers should investigate for
themselves.
Several thousand dollars has been
saved by County Attorney Johnson in
filing criminal cases before the probate
court, a salaried officer, and by opinions
given by him as to fees allowed justices
and constables.
In 1898 democratic board Of county
commissioners allowed the railroad COM
pany to use wagon road. below its track
where it was dangerous to travel. The
present board directed Mr.. johnson TO
take this matter up with the railroad
company and he collected $Iooo from
the company to build road where it was
safe.
Attorney-General Martin gave an
opinion to the comfy commissioners that
extradition charges be paid by the county
and not by the state. MIR. Johnson adj
vised the board that such charges are not
county but state charges and carried the
matter into the supreme court which held
that it was state and not county
charge, thus establishing precedent
which saves counties any such charges
in the future.
These are only few instances of saw
ing by republican officers and many
opinions have been given by County Al
tornev johnson which have and will save
thousands Of dollars to the county.

INDEBTEDNESS OF NEW
YORK TO LONDON
Head of an Anglo american Bank
Doesn't Know Whether Gold Will
Be Imported or Not.

LONDON, Oct. so. - There is I'M
doubtedly a strong movement toward
paying off the American Indebtedness
in London, but whether it can be. done
with foodstuffs and merchandise, or
whether it will necessftate the impor-
tation of gold the best posted man in
the world could not tell at the present
moment. This is the opinion of the
head of the best known Anglo-Ameri-
can bank in London, who, discussing
the financial situation, added:
"Of course, bringing gold from New
York at this time of the year would
not be a normal course of things, but
the controlling factor in the situation
is the amount of New York'S debt to
London, and that no one could esti-
mate without going through every bill
box in London and also ascertaining
the actual amount of stocks held on
the stock exchange for American COM
mitment. There is no special reason,
so far as am aware, why large
amount of gold should be wanted here
now. No large national loans are i'm
pending or anything of that sort, but
on the other hand, there is so much
money tied up in profitless investments
that really it is a hard job to get cash
to pay the butchers bill
Take South Africa, where they have
shot away about 100000, 600. That
makes big hole in the nations saw
ings. Then the list of South African
securities on the stock exchange rep
resents about $1,500,000,00O tied up in
stock that does not average a half per
cent dividend. Consequently, ready
money is scarce. There is no market
here now for anything and nobody is
buying for investment, but whether it

CHICAGO TAX FRAUDS
MORE SERIOUS YET
Masonic Temple Matter Only One
Ramification of the
Conspiracy.

CHICAGO, Oct 30.-To States At
torney Deneen and his uncle, Police
inspector Wheeler, Luke Wheeler, the
convicted tax fixer, has revealed, in all
Its ramifications, the gigantic plot that
collapsed with the discovery of the
Masonic Temple tax frauds. Tomor-
row, unless the present programme is
changed, Wheeler will go before the
grand jury and in a formal declara-
ton under oath reiterate the state
ments made to the prosecutor.
Wheeler'S confession places him in a
new light and. If accepted literally. re-
moves from him the stigma of the
charge of building up a defense of the
tombstoneS of the dead. The consnir-
acy, or rather the series of conspira-
cies, drove two men to suicide, ac-
cording to the confession.
According to Wheeler, the Masonic
Temple fraud was merely incidental to
an extensive series of operations reach
ing back into the past and made pos
sible through lax methods, coupled
with desire on the part of RESPONSE
bic prominent business houses to evade
taxation.
Moreover, according to Wheeler's

said that a public official at Spring

FROM Beers
GEN. BoTHA SUMMARIZES THE
EFFORTS TO OBTAIN RELIEF
Results of the Work in Europe Are
Disappointins-Words of the Burgh-
ers Misconstrued, Though the Brit
ish People Have No Reason to Doubt
Their Sincerity.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30-Gen Botha,
of the Boer commission, now in Europe
trying to raise funds for the redemp-
ton of the ruined farming districts of
South Africa, has cabled to the world
at length on the results of the general
mission up to date. The article says:
Our words have been misconstrued,
our actions have been assigned the
wrong motives, and our very aims
have been misstated and condemned.
The British people have no reason to
doubt our sincerity. We called on our
people to come in and lay down their
arms How many million pounds
We're saved to the British nation by
that surrender it is needless now to
reckon UP.
Having accepted the terms Lord
Kitchener was authorized to offer us,
we never sought to have them modi-
he'd. What we sought for was not a
modification of the terms of the peace
treaty, but the immediate help of
which our people are in sore need.
Having come to plead a cause which.
should speak eloquently enough for it.
self, we are sorely disappointed by the
result. AT least we have had every
reason to consider that we have failed
in our errand. 1t is assumed that we
did not take kindly to a loan. That
supposition was gratuitous. The
shape in which material help should
be given we had neither the right nor
the will to pick and choose. But, hav-
Ing seen no prospect of receiving such
help, we appealed in urgent need to
all the nations of the world.
The course has been sharply criti-
clsed. So far as we can see all our
appeals to foreigners implied was that
our people were in sore need of instant
relief and that we were willing to I'M
dergo the humiliation of pleading for
it. Memories of help withheld, despite
pressing need, and urgent appeal for
justice or generosity, are certain to
live long, die hard and inflict damage
out of all proportion to their seeming
Importance"
Loyal to Great Britain.
LONDON, Oct. 30.-The Contempor-
airy Review has published an article by
Gen. Botha, in which the writer in
sists upon the loyalty Of the Boer
leaders to Great Britain. He expresses
regret that the language of some of
their continental appeals has been
misinterpreted when scanned micro
scopically in England and reiterates
his fervent desire to cooperate with
the British government in smoothing
the effects of the war.
Gen. Bot1la says it is humiliating to
have to appeal to foreigners for funds
to aid his countrymen and that he be-
lieves if Englishmen realized the pitt
able condition of their vanquished foes
there would be no need to make APP
peals for help. The writer urges a gem
eral and complete amnesty, which he
says would remove the most potent
cause of arrangements between Brit
ons and Beers.

POLITICAL RIOTING
RENEWED IN PORTO RICO
Republicans Still BeIIiserent, Killing
More People-A Distressed
Theatrical Company.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Oct. 30
Political rioting at Ponce was renewed
last evening. From 9 to II o'clock the
city was in the hands of a Republican
mob, alleging to have been aided by
the municipal police. The Federal club
was fired on. One man was killed and
several were wounded, but not fatally.
The rioting was renewed today. Bush
ness at Ponce is suspended.
Another man was killed today during
the attacks of the Republicans, which
began early this morning, and num-
Der of men were severely wounded.
The rioters announced that they in
tended to attack the Federation of
Labor club and another club during the
day, which caused the closing of all
the stores in Ponce.
A Spanish dramatic company which
had been playing at Ponce applied to
the Spanish consul for protection and
it is reported that the consul COM
municated with the Spanish minister
at Washington. Shooting and rioting
occurred inside the theater Tuesday
evening and since that day the COM
pany has been unable to perform.
