Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Cor
man of Maryland, who is looming up
as candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination, came over to
his office in this city the other day, and
received the homage of large num-
her of friends and smaller fry polite
ians, who were eager to assure him OF
ly expressions kindly, but maintained
throughout all the interviews the po-
sition taken when he landed upon his
return from Europe. He does not adj
vance himself beyond the rank of high
private, repeatedly parrying queries
aimed to develop his ambition with the
statement that he is a soldier in the
ranks, and that interest in welfare of
his party must be above all personal
ambition.
campaign-tariff reform, economy in
public affairs and honesty in office.
THE campaign is too far off to make
any positive Statements he said. Il
can see, however, at this early date
that rapid change is taking place
among the people with regard to the
beliefs and conditions of former years.
No amount of persuasion could in
duce the senator to discuss Bryan,
Cleveland or any other leaders who are
likely to contest with him for the lead
ership of his party.

in that bureau. 1t came up in connec-
ton with the electrotypers, who, ac-
cording to the rules of the union, in
certain cases work fewer hours in a day
than are required of employees in the

Ono of the electrOtypers engaged in
the Strengthening of plates, insisted
that when his work in that connection
was finished he had nothing further to
do. He was requested to work the re-
n1ainder of the day, but refused, and
soon the executive committee of his
organization called upon Mr.. Ricketts,,
foreman of the printing office, declaring
that the rules of the Union must be
complied with.

the canal treaty, fearing to allow tn"
treaty to come to a definite vote in the
two houses and not wishing to assume
direct responsibility for its rejection
have decided to filibuster until it is too
late for Publications to be exchanged
which must be by Sept. l. 1t is eStl-
mated that the Colombian copy OF the
treaty must leave BogOta by Aug. ~

If can be stated that officials her"
are confidently expecting Request
from President Marroquin to have the

Col. Clarence Edwards, Chief of the
Insular Bureau of the War Depart
ment, said this morning that the
Philippine Commission has now zone
what it could to remedy the complaints
made by the Philippine schoolteachers.
The inconveniences Occasioned by the
high prices in the philippines are to be
done away with by the inauguration OF
civil stores at which all employees or
the civil government may make pur-
chases at prices much lower than those
of the Manila merchants.
1t is admitted that there was just
cause for complaint growing out OF the
payment of teachers in checks calling
for Mexican currency, but it Is eX-
planned that the operation of the new
Currency law which has just gone INTO
effect will remedy this evil.
II is denied that a blacklist against
worthy teachers has been established
and it is said that this list applies only
to such persons as were discharged
from the service for cause. 1t was
found necessary to remove few en-
ployees IN a number of branches OF the
service who were far from satisfactory.
and it is true that such persons cannot
again find employment under the
Philippine Government.
Not only does the blacklist extend to
the Philippine service, but employees
discharged for cause will be unable to
secure employment in the United States
service in this country by certification
from the Philippine civil service. An
order was issued some time ago by
President Roosevelt permitting civil
service employees in the Philippines to
enter the Government service in the
United States. A rule has now been es-
tablished that no person will be so en-
ployed who cannot produce a clean bill

ably to-day. 1t is the trial of James

intent to kill Cad. d. Bryan, Jr. in
Bryan's barroom on Bryan street,

This is but one of nine cases grow

James T. Bennett and resulted in each
of them, with the exception of Ben

The other cases were on the docket
to be tried yesterday, but, because of
the length of the first trial, had to
go over though one or more of them
will probably be taken up to-day.

HIS MONEY STOLEN
BY A WOMAN.

White Man from Philadelphia
Touched by a Negro for $s7.
AS a result of a conversation he held
with Bertha Smith, negro woman
well known in police circles, James
Johnson, a white man who says that
Philadelphia is his home, and that he
is in Savannah for his health" was
touched for $S7 on the West Side at an
early hour yesterday morning.
Strange as it may seem, johnson re-
ported his loss to the police and the
Smith woman was made prisoner by
Patrolman Cowart. She denied all
knowledge of the theft and declared
that she had never seen the white man
before. Besides being charged with
the larceny of the money, the woman
was held on charge of vagrancy. The
police did not sympathize with john
son, although they did everything pos
sible to recover the money. The ac-
cused was remanded for trial in the
Superior Court for the theft, and in
the City Court for vagrancy.

Heirs of Annie G. Lamar Ask Ac-
counting of an Inheritance.
A petition in equity was filed in the
Superior Court yesterday by Messrs.
Lawton & Cunningham, representing
Harriet c. Frost and Benja-
min Lamar, minor. The petition
sets forth that Gazaway B.
Lamar being indebted to his deceased
wife, Harriet c. Lamar in the sum of
S42,017.60 and to her daughter for $4,-
1924, made a deed to G.. deRosset La
mar and his three sisters, share and
share alike, for $42, O176O, and to his sis
ter Annie c. Lamar for $4,182.14.
The property so conveyed consisted
of certain wharf holdings lying on the
river just east Of the City Exchange,
and certain other lots and improve
ments situated on Columbia Square, a
minute description of which is given in
the petition. 1t is alleged that deRos-
set Lamar sold a part of this property
and reinvested 1t, but not in accordance
with the stipulations of the trust,
having ignored certain of the rights Of
Annie c. Lamar.
Her heirs, the petitioners, now desire
to secure the part of the estate that
should rightfully be theirs, and to that
end ask that an order be passed by the
court allowing the sale of the lands and
a distribution of the proceeds. 1t is
asked that a hearing be given Dec. 7
and that Harriet G. Jones of New
York and James r. Soutter and Rob-
ert Soutter of Massachusetts appear to
answer the contentious of the petition.

The announcement that the British
gunboat will also visit Savannah is
cheering news for the officers of the
Savannah Racing Association, and the

during the fair. No stone will be left
unturned to make the officers of both
vessels feel entirely at home, and if
they do not have a good time it will
be their own fault. The committee
that has the matter in charge will see
to it that nothing is left undone to
