this Is A SCANDAL INDEED
Assistant Attorney General
Tyner Summarily
Dismissed. -.
His Wife Had His Safe Blown Open and
Removed Papers.

His Wife Had His Safe Blown Open ant
Removed Papers.
Washington, D. c., Special
Postmaster General Payne haf
summarily dismissed Assistant At
torney General Tyner from the
service.
HIS wife visited the department
after the close of business on the
22d inst, with a safe expert and
had Tyner's safe opened and re-
moved all the papers.
She has since refused to return
them to the government or to allow
'Tyner to be seen.
Tyner resigned his position last
week at the request of the govern
ment.
This has been the greatest sensa.
tion of the postofhce scandal. An
investigation has been 10 progress
for two weeks and several ugly
things have been discovered, but
this far eclipses anything yet un-
earthed. It is supposed Tyner's
wife removed papers that would
haVei1cftminated him and possibly
others.

TIE Law IGNoREp%j
Some Banks Do Not,
statements asx Publish Quarterly


hne GSdmbia correspondent {
.ie IWs and Courier, writing IN
deEdate Of April "a, says:
There is a statute on the book
which require all State banks t
publish quarterly statements o
their financial condition. Soma
banks are complying with the
sratute while others seem to- pa,
no attention to it or not to know
the requirement Of the law.
Attorney General Gunter, in
talking about the matter this morn.
ing, said that he expected to give
attention to the matter, and be
thought that those banks ought, in
protection to their depositors and
Tor their own good to publish
these statements as required by
law.
The national banks all, of course
publish their statements, as re-
quired by the national banking
laws, and most of the State banks
do so, but if all banks complied
with the law and depositors were
fully advised as to the condition of
the banks, aud the banks ad7er-
tised the prosperity, there would
be general good a nd no harm that
can be seen.
The Statute upon the subject
reads: - :
Section 1866. e - nm!
doing business in 57u1pn.;:sslE :1p
ing money and receiving deposits
under acts of incorporation grant>-
ed by the State are hereby required
under penalty IF the forfeiture of

where they or any branch thereof

Dry three months correct report of

BY the president or cashier OF such
institution of the amount Of the

| New Law Causes Shortage Of Men at the
Penitentiary.
A dispatch from Columbia says
The passage of the law allowing
convicts sentenced for ten years
to be retained Oh the county cham
gangsis having a serious effect on
the penitentiary Since the first of
the year only about five able
bodied men have BEEN received
within the walls, while there are
over hundred aged, in6rm and
MANNED who are Of 10 value at
all. Several counties have recent
Iy made application fer convic's to
work on the highw ays, which they
are allowed to do under the law,
but the penitentiary authorities
haven't got them to lease. Not
only that, but they are snort the
number they are required by con-
tract to furnish the. hosiery mill.
With q continuance of this sort Of
thing it will not take many years
to place the penitentiary on the ex-
pense account rather than have 1t
turn revenue into the state which
1t has heretofore done. There are
more useless and unproductlVe
convicts within the walls now than
ever before, they being able to do
only the lightest sort of labor.

As mercury will surely destroy the sense

good you can possibly derive from them.

lous to secure expressions Of opin-
ions from the people Of the country

he may furnish the people the in.
formation that be desires. The
letter is as follows:
EsDear Sir: When the matter of
having the State exhibit at the
World 8 Fair was frat sue gested-
and ever slnce-it was my opinion
that this should be provided for.
AS you we'll know at the recent
session of the general assembly the
senate bill to provide for such an
exhibit was continued in the house
until the next session. Knowing
that the exposition to an appropria-
ton rested solely spon the fnan-
cial condition of t6s-state I did
not at the time press the messsQre:
Since that time, however, through
the efforts of Senator Tillman, the
condition of our treasury has been
Iconsideaably improved by the pay
ment to the State by the Q. s. gov
eminent of nearly $4,000 in SET
tlement of the claim growing out
of the war of 1925.
'since your adjournment I have
endeavored to ascertain by circu,
lar letter the sentiment in various
portions of the State in regard to
the appropriation for an exhibit.
Replies from nearly all the coun-
ties convince ne that the people
want place in the International
picture at st. Louis.
Il am further convinced that |
this exhibit will afford fine oppor-
turity to advertise thoroughly the
unlimited resources of Our State,
and induce desirable settlers to |
come here and transform the lands
now lying idle into productive
farms; that it will afford as the
chance to tap the tide Of inmigra-
Jon to the northwest and to pro-
note the industrial development

sble white peopssd more capital

a writing you to ascer-
tain definitely whether Or not We
should hope to have the exhibit at
St. Louis.I feel that this is my duty
TO the people Of our State, whose
should be promoted when
aver possible.
"Tn view Of the fact that if we
are to have this exhibit the work
must be bsgun Immediately. I
nave deemed It wise, in the
absence of the opportunity to reach
Eou by special message, to write
md ask that you sound your con-
;tituents and let me know definite
y whether Or not we should hope
o have the exhibit at st. Louis.
II would be glad if you see fit ,
S do so if ycu would give me- at .

your support Of an appropriation
# $4,000 at the opening Of the i
lext session of the general assem-
,lv. In case the majority of the
members assure me Of their sup 1
bort of such an appropriation. I
will proceed at once to arrange for
commission along the lines of the
,ill pending in the ouse, and also

CURIOUS FIRE STARTS
AT WHITE BUGGY PLANT

About 1880 last night J. Frager,
Waterman at the George White Bug
gy company's plant on Twenty-fourth
street, in making his rounds found
smoke issuing from Il box located on
the top floor of the building that was
used for the storage of putty He
sent in a telephone call to the fire de-
partment and then raised a window
and dumped the fire out into the
street. There was no damage even
from smoke, and when the depart
ment arrived there was nothing to do.
The cause of the combustion is diff
cult to explain, but it is supposed that
something was placed in the box that
led to chemical action causing heat
and finally fire.
