DR.. GRETH'S AIRSuIP.
Partially Successful Trip Made in San
Francisco Yesterday.

A dispatch from San Francisco Yesterday
says: DR.. August Greth, who for q wear
past has been working on an airship to-
day surprised the residents of San Fran
cisco by sailing over their heads for two
hours, directing his machine almost at will
and demonstrating that IN many essentials
he has solved the problem of aerial navi-
cation
DIR. Greth had previously tested his air
ship by making ascensions with the bal
loon held captive by long rope, but today
was the first time that he had gone sky
ward free.
The ascension was made from a lot al
most in the heart of the city, and DR.
Greth attempted to encircle a towering
newspaper building about a mile eastward
but found the high currents TOO strong for
his power and then turned in an opposite
direction.
The winds carried him oceanward, and
Tor a time he lowered over the vicinity of
the Golden Gate. making various success
1ul trials of his steering gear.
The currents threatened to take him ONT
over the Pacific and he decided to make n
landing on the parade grounds of the Pre-
sldio military reservation, but made the
mistake of letting out too much gas and
he landed in the bay about 200 feet from
shore. The crew of the life-saving station
rescued the aeronaut and the flying ma
chine. which was little DANA ged by the I'M
fortunate termination Of the voyage. The
balloon of Greth is cigar-shaped and has a
capacity of 10000 feet of gas with lift
ing capacity of 500 to 1900 pounds. The
car is similar in construction to that used
by Santos-Dumont, and weighs about 500
pounds
The engine is twelve-horse power gaso-
line motor, and the total weight carried
skyward, including that of the inventor
and 2Go pounds of ballast, was about 400
pounds
For some inexplicable reason the motor
would not develop more than six horse
power, and DIR. Greth FOUND considerable
difficulty In making Roadway against the
current. He expects to make another as
cension in a few days. when he will have
repaired the minor damage caused by the
salt water bath and remedied the defects
brought out by his two hours cruise in
cloudland.

British Legation at Picking Robbed.

dispatch from Picking says: The recent
episode at the British legation in Peking
which has been described as an attempt to
blow up the legation magazine during a
military ball, was in reality the robbery of
certain ordnance stores, supposedly by Chi
nese servants, who carried the gun fittings
and other portable articles away with them
but left the denotating apparatus outside
the magazine, apparently finding difficulty
In carrying it.
All the stolen property has been recov-
cred from junk shops, where it was sold
by the thieves.

Meat and Vegetables Supplied.

Fresh meat is the most essential and
sought after article of the soldiers diet,
and has, almost without exception, been
supplied in abundance throughout the is
lands
Great quantities of fresh vegetables,
consisting of potatoes and onions. have been
supplied at reasonable prices. but with con-
siderable losses. Up to the present 1t has
been necessary to transport vegetables from
the United States or regions outside of the
islands; but in the course of time as the
Agricultural Department and the adjutant
general of the division have already dem
onstrated by successful experiments, gar
dens can be cultivated with satisfactory re-
suits When vegetables can be raised in
sufficient quantities they can readily find a
home market. The prices of the vegetables
supplied under contract We're &c cents per
pound for both potatoes and onions. Desic-
Gated vegetables are unpalatable, disliked,
and do not meet requirements"

HE Is UNDER ARREST

CHICAGO, October ia dispatch to the
Tribune from Princeton Wis, says: j. L.
Lemer, cashier of the Princeton State
Bank, has been arrested and taken to
hartford, where he is now in Jail. State
Bank Examiner Marcus G. Bergh last
night stated that Liemer had confessed to
forgeries amounting to $4,000.
The Princeton State Bank is closed. and
the Montel,o State Bank, of which Liemer
is vice president, has been ordered by the
state officials not to open it's doors for bust
ness today.
Speculation in grain, Liemer says, was
the cause. Liemer came here cashier
of the Princeon bank eight years ago, and
the examiners believe that the alleged forg-
cries have covered period of six years.
1t is said by persons who familiar
with the affairs of the Princeton bank that
the depositors probably will be paid off in
full with money now on hand

How Shortage Was Discovered.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, October ia spe-
cial from Princeton, Wis, says:
The sensational and unexpected develop
mentS in regard to the embeZzlement of
$4,000 by j. E. Leimer, cashier of the
Princeton State Bank, were brought about
by an investigation of the affairs of the
Princeton Bank which has been conducted
for the past few days by State Bank EX-
aminer Bergh and Deputy Bank Examiner
A. E. KuOlt With evidence in their possess
sion which they say was overwhelming
they confronted Cashier Eeimer and ac-
cused him of having practiced extensive
forgeries, using the banks name for
period of several years
According to their statements, Mr.. Lei
mer, after slight hesitation, acknowledged
that there was a discrepancy in his ac-
counts of a small amount They cited to
him some of the evidence in their possess
sion. and he acknowledged the amount was
larger. They continued to produce evil
dence until they say he admitted that his
forgeries had involved the bank to the ex-
tent of $4,000
Ordered Bank Closed.
With this statement and the previously
secured evidence in their possession to work
on, they turned Mr. Leimer over to the
sheriff and ordered that the bank here re-
main closed today.
Bank Examiner Bergh said that the con-
dition of Mr.. Leimer's business made it i'm
peratve for him to order the Montello Bank
closed Mr. Leirner is the heaviest stock
holder in that bank, holding about SIT, 900
of stock in the two banks together.
Leimer is quoted by the bank examiners
as having told them that the money he
secured irregularly he had spent in grain
speculation principally in Chicago. Several

forged paper as also are number of per-
sons in this city.

FEEDING THE TROOPS
OPERATIONS OF THE SUBSIsT-
ENCE DEPARTMENT..
Report of Col. Alexander, Acting Com
missary General - Supplies
Furnished to the Army.

Col. w. L. Alexander, acting commissary
general, has made a report of the opera
tons of the subsistence department during
the past fiscal year, making a most credit
able showing of how the great work of
feeding the army was accomplished, at a
cost of 81, 50 1884 out of total resources of
S13,l25, IS9, leaving a balance of So 9, 19J.
He urgently recommends the passage of a
bill by Congress to give authority to all
officers intrusted with the disbursement of
subsistence funds to hold restricted
amounts of such funds in their personal
possession. The exigencies of the public
service, he says, require an open disregard
of the restrictions of the existing law in
cities where the treasurer or an assistant
treasurer is located.
The value of subsis fence stores lost
throughout the department in the fiscal
year 1903, according TO returns far
cefved, amounted by ordinary W1stage to
$22361; from natural causes. TO S.Jl J53: by
certificate. to S4.2o3; by theft to 81 2SS by
fire to 500, and from mis- cellaneous causes
to 81, 10. The total value of subsis enca
property lost, according to returns so Ear
received. was $2.S0i
The effect of climate, exposures of trans
portation, and the Old age of many of the
stores themselves, account for the largest
portion of the losses repo: ted; but with thu
greatly reduced quantities of these Cd
stores now on hand, Colonel Alexander
says, losses will be at a minimum in the

Some Ferplexing Questions.

Regarding conditions in the Philip
pines. Col Alexander says in part:
"A number of questions perplexed and
gave concern to the subsistence depart
ment during the year. They were a
legacy from previous years and cover the
entire period of American occupation in
the islands. The most difficult and vital
to deal with have at all times been those
which relate to the supply of fresh meat.
fresh vegetables, ice and other perish
able stores. the supply of which is so es-
sential to the health, comfort and con-
tentment of the troops
The solution of the transportation
problem, upon which so many others
hung, greatly aided toward a successful
outcome The reduction of the military
forces of the islands and consequent re-
Cuction of posts, removal of troops from
interior places and concentration at
points on the seacoast and along the
railroad, thus permitting refrigerator
and meat boats and commercial liners to
make regular routes and schedules, all
made toward a successful solution of the
various problems.
Subsistence affairs are now set
tiled and satisfactory basis and much of
the credit for this fortunate state of af-
fairs is due to the untlring efforts ard
administrative talent of Col Henry G.
Sharpe, the chief commissary of the di-
vision of the phIlipDineS.
