REPEATING TO rAYLoR.
Carson Answering Arguments of the
 Alsbamian.

Carson Answering Arguments of the Alabamian.
 London, Oct. 2-sir Edward Carson, the Solicitor-0aneral, consumed the morning session of the Alaskan Boundary Com- the arguments of David T. Watson and Hannis Taylor of counsel tor the United States. especially protesting against Mir. Taylors contention that the term ''trend of the coast could only apply to the political coast line and not to the physi- cal coast line.
 He also maintained the prime pie of ac- quisiticn was not Applicable to the pres ent dispute and somewhat surprised the audience by declaring that under the pow CTS of the treaty of 1908 the commission CTS had no authority to define questions submitted to them. and that they could neither lay down the boundary nor de- side what constituted the coast. All the commissioners could do was to answer questions submitted to them in the treaty either negatively or affirmatively. If they gave certain answers they might make matters more confused than ever and open up a new series of diplomatic tangles.
 | The Solicitor General concluded with an eloquent reference to Great Britain's un- willingness to give up any of her sub- jects into the control of other nations. He declared he thought the public might think the commission was slow and that counsel were wasting time. but no time and no money would ever be wasted If the long-standing dispute between the two great and friendly nations could be solv- cd by the tribunal.
 When Jacob M Dickinson of counsel for the United States rose to conclude the arguments, the room was filling up with spectators. He commenced by be- litling the minute examinations of maps and the pickering over words and details. declaring that the case could only be set tied by grasping the central idea ani- mating the original negotfatore.

RURAL DELIVERY SERVICE.
$so,ooo, 900 May Be Asked from the
 Next Congress.

NS4t NOukIc8a'
 Washington. Oct. 2.-(Special. 1.-The rural free delivery service will require from the next Congress a larger appro- priation than ever been allowed for 1t. It is expected that the account will be in the neighborhood of $20, ,00O,00o. Last ses- sion $120O0,00O was allowed of which $9,- 100000 was for maintenance and the re- mainder for new service.
 Under the authorization of Congress there have been established since last July 1, 3,9O0 new routes and there are 2,10O that have been agreed on and are yet to be put in operation this year. It Is ex- pected that by the end of the present fis- cal year there will be in all 5000 routes in operation but estimate Is made that 1t will take $12.50O, ,000- to operate the routes that will be in existence at the end of the year, and $9.000,0O0 more will be asked to establish additional routes. It Is not unlikely that Congress will appropriate deficiency allowance amounting to $700,000 or $500, 900 to provide for new routes that are put on this year. This was the way the rapid establishment of new routes last year was provided for, the last ses- sion of Congress appropriating for the purpose $5OO,0OO.
 Notwithstanding the embarrassment of the pending postoffice investigation to the rural service, there is no disposition among members of Congress to allow the system to suffer from what has occurred in the administration of the large appro- priations that have been generously fur nished.

 The heaviest buying on the curb tod@y on the decline in Seaboard Air Line was by a firm that is a specialist in Standard Oil. The Baltimore interests sold a good deal. but at the same time bought more or less. The chief market for Seaboard stock Is in Baltimore.

Wife of a Larchmont, N. F., Dentist and Bookkeeper of a Playing
 Card Concern Had Unique
 Scheme for Swindling.

New York. Oct. 2.-Marie L. Johnson wife of Albert M. Johnson. a dentist oi Larchmont N. Y., was arrested tonight on a warrant charging her with grand larceny of 5000. The total amount of her defalcations may, 1t is said, amount to $5O.00O
 The conplainants are officers of the United States Playing Card Company of Cincinnati. The officers are John Om- wake. president; R. H. McCutcheon, sec retary and treasurer. manager of the New York branch. and R. J. Morgan, manager of the Cincinnati office.
 Mrs. Johnson, whose maiden name was Marie Layton, was bookkeeper in the New York office, and in addition acted as private secretary to MT. McCutcheon. She was married to Dr. Johnson in 1901. but did not leave her position after the mar riage. In April of this year. discrepan- cies are said to have been discovered in her accounts, according to the statement given out by Inspector McCluskey and an examination is said to have revealed a shortage of $10,000 between Jan. 1, and April 15, in the accounts of the New York office.
 How It Worked.
 The woman's metfiod Is said to have been as follows:
 The accounts of the concern were kept in the Hanover National Bank. there De- ing New York and Cincinnati account here. Cincinnati would send to New York bill of goods which would be sold for 6, 900 and that amount would be placed to the credit of the Cincinnati account. But. 1t is alleged. Mrs. Johnson would charge the New York office with 5000, taking the difference herself. To make the accounts balance, she would then raise small bill of goods shipped from Cincinnati from, say So to $2.009.
 Mrs. Johnson was discharged from the employment of the company in April when. Inspector McClusley says. she ad- mltted defalcations of $10,5O0 It was thought at that time that her husband Dr. Johnson, who has large practice would make up the ioss.. but this was not done. Later, further investigation was made Into both the New York and the Cincinnati accounts with the result, 1t ii said. that defalcations now amount tc $3S 900 with a possibility that they may reach $5O,0OO.
 Dr. Johnson refused to say anything about the case. nor would any of the of. ficers of the card company talk.
 It Is said that Mrs. Johnson speculated in Wall street and lost considerable money there.
