BAR TO OFFICE is OBJECTED TO:
ROBERTSON WANTS BILL AMENDED
1t Requires Five Years Continuous Military
Service in State Prior to Appoint
: ment to Adjutant General.

In his annual report to the gov
ernor, made yesterday, Adjutant
General ]. w. Robertson urges
strongly that the legislature
change that feature of the mill
tary law passed at the last ses-
sion which prohibits the appoint
ment as adjutant general of any
one. who has not been actively
in the military service of the
state of Georgia at least 5 years
prior to his appointment"
This feature of the BILL" Gen
eral Robertson says, is unjust,
particularly to those who served
the south during the civil war,
and who are still capable of per-
forming we'll the duties of this
office. There are many of these
who would be glad to serve the
state, and would serve it ably and
well in this capacity, at the salary
of $4,000 year. This feature
of the bill, should by all means be
cut out"
AS the story goes, this section
of the bill was put in as anamend-
ment just before the measure
was finally passed by the 1egis1a-
ture. Just who was responsible
for it has not been made known,
but those who might have oppos-
ed it,. it is said, knew nothing of
it at the time, nor was it discov-
cred by them until after the
measure had become law.
General Robertson in his re-
port recommends that the Dick
militia bill as passed by congress
should be given careful consider
alton by the legislature. There
is some little opposition to certain
features of the measure.
The report shows there is q
balencc Of $0,038 or hand in the
military fund after paying out
for expenses since October /
1902, S14,911.32.

WASHINGTON, June 17,-Post-
master General Payne today
made public the reply of Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General
Brlstow to the charges of Sey-
mour W. Tulloch, former CASH
Ter Of the Washington City post
office, regarding the irregulari-
ties in the postal administration,
and also reports of inspection
and investigation of the Wash
ington postofice by inspectors
between June 80, 1899 and July
81, 1900, together with the tran
script Of the Tu1loch charges
made some years ago, and the
conclusions thereon then reach
eddy Postmaster General Chas.
Emory Smith. These papers
constitute by far the most sig
nifcant documents yet made
public as a result of the sweep
ing postal investigation. The
reports show existence of many
irregularities during the period
involved. The inspector who in
vestigated the irregularities re-
ports that files of the cashier
show direct orders from superb
or authority for the disburse-
ment of all questionable items
cited. The inspector urged
that the responsibility for the
many illegal appointments, the
payment of two salaries to one
and the same person and the dis.
bursement of thousands of dol.
lars for whidh practically no ser.
vice was performed, should be
placed where it properly belongs
and the manyabuses corrected. "
SUMMARY OF REPORTS.
In summary of the severa.
reports the postmaster genera
says:
The charge of Mr.. Tulloch is
in it's essence a charge against

LOSS OF LIFE 500
IN HEPPNER FLOOD

lone, Greg, June 16.-Latest
find in the ruins of Heppner indi-
Gates that the loss of life will be
much greater than at first sup
posed. The casualty list will foot
up to five hundred, and many of
the bodies will never be recov-
cred.
The property loss and destruc-
ton of buildings alone will aggre-
gate probably ST., 100000. This is
regarded as a conservative esti-
mate. One hundred and fifty of
the best residences were swept
from the face of the earth. The
debris is piled along the railroad
track to height of freight cars.
The relief work is progressing
at a satisfactory pace.
The names of 189 persons
whose bodies have been recover
ed or who are missing and believ.
ed to be dead as result of the
Heppner flood have been obtained
In addition to the bodies of seven
Chinese, three Japanese and
twenty-one strangers and babies,
names unknown, GO to swell the
list.

SIMS INDICTED BY GRAND JURY:
TRUE BILL RETURNED YESTERD
Grand Jury Indicts Federal Prisoner for b
bezzlement Committed Before Institu-
ton Became National Bank.

The Fulton county grand jury
yesterday returned an indictment
against C. H. Sims, defaulting
discount and collecting clerk of
the Capital City National bank,
charging him with enlightenment.
The indictment is based on an
alleged enlightenment of funds
by Sims while the bank was
known as the Capital City
Bank" a state institution, before
it became national bank. It is
charged that before the institu-
ton was changed to national
bank Sims made way with funds
to the amount of $21, 899.95.
A warrant will be served on
Sims at the federal penitentiary,
where he is now serving a six
years sentence for embazzle-
ment, having been sentenced
from the United States Court.
The state Indictment will become
effective when Sims completes
his present sentence and he can
then be tried in the state courts.

TALKING WITH FLAGS.
Tow the Signal Corps Plays Part in
Modern Warfare.

Modern Warfare.
The signal corps plays a very
important part in modern war.
fare-so important that army and
navy officers say they could not
possibly do without it, in spite Of
the fact that great campaigns
we're carried on and great battles
We're fought before It was ever
dreamed Of.
There are several systems Of
signaling in use by the army and
navy, the simplest Of which is
that commonly called "wigwag.
ging," a term that was invented
for it. Nearly everyone knows,
perhaps, that the signaling is
done by means of small flags, but
a brief description Of how the
flags + handled to convey q
message, says the New York Her.
aid, may not be without interest.
The system ia an adaptation Of
the Morse dot and dash telegraph
alphabet, the different move.
ments Of q flag taking the place
Of the dots and dashes. BY the
Morse alphabet the letter a is rep
resented by a dot and a dash, the
b by a dash and three dots, and
the letter C by two dots, a space
and a dot. The other letters are
represented in a similsr way.
III the army system waving tie
flag to the right meens a dot; to
the left a dash, and dropping it
directly in front OF the operator
means a space. If, therefore, the
operator waves the flag once to
the right and once to the left he
makes the letter a; ii he waresit
once to tie left and three times to
the right he makes the letter b.,
end if he waves it twice to the
right, once down in front and then
once again to the right he makes
the letterc.
This reads like slow work, but
It is anything but slow, for the op.
orators r so skillful and quick
in the use Of the Hag that they can
give and receive the letters al
most as fast as a telegraph opera
tor can give and receive the clicks
of his instrument.
The use Of 4 strong field glass
enables the receiving operator to
read the signals at . great dis.
tance. When it is necessary to
signal at night q torch is substi.
tuted for the flag.
Wigwagging in tie navy is
done on the same general princi.
pie, but the numerals 1, 2, 3 are
used instead of dots and dashcs.
The letter a by this system is
made by the numerals 2, 2; the
letter b by 2, 2, 1, 2; the letter c
by. l, 2, l; the letter d by2 :, ?,
and so On.
Waving the flag to the right
means I, to the left means 2, and
down the front means ). Two
waves to the left, therefore, make
the letter a; two waves to the left,
one to the right and one again to
the left make the letter b; one
wave to the right, one to the left
and one again to the right make
c; three waves to the left make d.
and so on.
The navy also uses a flash1ight
and the steam whistle in combi-
nation with the numerals. A
short flash or a short blast of tho
whistle means 1; two short
flashes or two short blasts mean
2, and a iong flash or a long blast
means 3.
Provision is thus made for sig.
mailing he day, whether the air be
clear or foggy.

SENATOR VESTS TRIBUTE.
His Essay on a Dsg's Friendship Won

His Essay on a Dag's Friendship Won
Over Judge and JGry.
One Of the most eloquent tribs
utes ever paid to the dog is said
to have been delivered by Senator
Vest of Missouri some years ago.
He was attending courtin a coun.
try town, and while waiting for
the trial of a case in which he was
interested was urged by the attor.
neys inn dog case to help them.
Evidence was introduced to show
that the defendant had shot the
dog in malice, while ether evi.
dence went to show that the dog
had attacked the defendant. Vest
had no part in tie trial, and was
not disposed to speak. The attor.
neys urged him, however, and lie
consented. He rose, was silent q
moment, and then said:
Gentlemen of the Jury: The
best friend a man has in the world
may turn against him and become
his enemy. His son or daughter
that he has reared with loving
care may prove ungrateful. Those
who are nearest and dearest to us,
those whom we trust with our
T! happiness and our good name may
become traitors to their faith.
"The money that a man has he
may lose. 1t flies away from him,
perhaps when he needs it most. A
mans reputation may be sacri.
feed in a moment ofillconsidered
action. The people who are prone
to fall on their knees to do us
honor when success is with us may
be the first to throw the stone Of
! malice when failure settles It's
clouds upon our heads.
] "The one absolutely unselaeA
friend that man can have in this
world, the one that never deserts
him, the one that never proves un.
grateful or treacherous is his dog.
"a mans dog stands by him in
prosperity and in poverty, in
health and in sickness. He will
sleep on the cold ground where
the wintry> winds blow and the
snow drives fiercely if only he may
be near his masters side. He will
kiss the hand that hass1o food to
offer. He guards the sleep of his
pauper master as if the master
were Il prince.
"When riches take wings and
reputation falls to pieces, he is az
constant in his love as the sun in
its journey through the heavens.
And when the last scene Of all
comes. and death takes the a
ter in its embrace, and his body is
laid away in the cold ground, no
matter if all other friends pursue
their way, there by the graveside
will the noble dog be found, his
head between his paws, his eyes
sad, but open in alert watchful.
ness, faithful and true even in
DEATH"
Senator Vest sat down. He had
spoken in a low voice, without a
gesture. He made no reference
to the evidence or the merits OF
the case. When he finished Judge
and jury were wiping their eyes.
The jury filed out, but soon en-.
tered with a verdict OF $500 for
the plaintiff, whose dog had been
shot; and it was said the defend.
ant considered himself lucky to
have escaped hanging.
