health and accident policy lost what
was no law to compel any concern OF
the kind TO comply with the state law
and thereby furnish an annual state
ment of its financial condition to the
insurance commissioner, together with
list of the officers and other informa-
ton which every policy holder ought
TO know
1t seems that the bill was introduced
at the request of Milwaukee parties
and both of the committees in the leg
islature to which il was referred rec
commended it favorably and it was
passed without dissenting vote and
signed by the governor. Every one
who paid any attention to the matter
believed 1t to be but just what was
needed, as there was a recent case in
Milwaukee where SI5. 900 had been lost
TO small policy hol1ers. the majority
of whom were labcring men. through
the failure CT the law to provide ample
security.
After the passage of the law the at
torney general ruled that church or
CARNATIONS, such as are connected
with some of the Lutheran and Catho-
lie churches, would be effected by the
law and to obviate any objection in
this direction a bill was passed and
signed by the governor exemptlng
companies connected with any church
or religious society from the provi-
sions of the act. There are many local
associations which will be effected by
the law but the expense which they
will be compelled to go to so as to
comply with the law is very small as
compared with the protection afforded
and while in the first instance it might
be felt yet, eventually it will be just
what the policy holders will wish it, a
stable, substantial institution publish
ing its financial condition from time
to time which would give it prestige
and a standing which nothing else
could possibly give it,. AT least this is
the opinion of one man who has
studied the matter.
The bill was introduced as a protec-
ton to the laboring man, aud while it
was not necessary to urge the matter
in the legislature as the inefficiency of
the present laws was admitted, the
law will have the desired effect. which
is to prevent the honest laboring man
from investing in health and accident
insurance and from losing his hard
earned money in concern organized
simply to loot the general public.
Any local society affected by the law
can, by adopting ritual and having a
lodge system, escape the provisions of
the law. The act expressly exempts
associations of this kind.

HOWE IS CLEARED
CHARGES OF CRUELTY IN PHILIP
PINES NOT UPHELD.
WAR SECRETARY REPORTS
Decides Major Hunter Collected Affda-
Wits in over Jealous Spirit Against
His Accused Fellow Offcer-Re-
quest for Court of Inquiry Denied
Because of Its Difficulty.

Washington, May 29.-The secretary
Of war yesterday made public his
findings in the case of the charges by
Major G. K. Hunter against Major
Robert l.. Howe for alleged cruelties
in the Philippines. The secretary
finds the charges not sustained, that
nothing occurred such as were
charged. He refuses Howze's request
for court of inquiry because of the
difficulty to assemble of such a court
and of obtaining the evidence The
secretary decided to appoint board of
Officers in the Philippines to further
the inquiry and to inquire whether any
malice was shown in the action against
Howe. The secretary says:
Major Hunter, who collected the
afiidavits nearly three years after the
inc' ants to which they related, ap-
pears by his own letters to have enter
tanned bitter personal animosity
toward Major Howe" For this rea-
son, he says, Hunter should never
have been assigned to the duty of col
lecting the affidavits against Howe.
Hunter made the investigation under
the orders of General Miles. The Sec
rotary concludes:
Upon all the papers now produced
it appears that the charges against
Major Howe are false; that there
were no such beatings as in the affida-
Wits procured by Major Hunter"

REVISE
CREED
Presbyterians Give
Up Doctrine Of
Predestination
Church General As
semblyUnanimous
tor the Change
AgreeChiIdren Dying
in Infancy Are Not
EternaIIy Lost

Los Angeles, May 29.-In the Pres
byterian general assembly yesterday
the report of the revision committee
was adopted as whole, and by
unanimous vote the moderator was au-
thorized to appoint a committee to
confer with the Cumberland Presby-
uniting the churches.
The adoption of the revision of the
creed disposed of a question that had
been before the last three assemblies
and caused the greatest agitation in
church circles for Is years. Important
additions, applications and amend
ments are made to the confession of
faith. The one most vital is the cree
ton into church doctrine the belief
that all who die in infancy are saved,
which follows:
That concerning those who are
saved in Christ the doctrine of Gods
eternal decree is held in harmony with
the doctrine of his love to all mankind,
his gift of his son to be a Precipitation
for the sins of the whole world, and
his readiness to bestow his saving
grace on all who see it, that concern
ing those who perish, doctrine that
God desires not the death of any sim
ner, but has provided in Christ a sal
walton sufficient for all and freely Of
fered in the gospel to all; that men
are fully responsible for their treat
ment of Gods gracious offer; that his
decree hinders no man from accepting
that offer and that no man is con-
demned except on the ground of his
sin.
"Also that it is not to be regarded
as good teaching that any who die in
infancy are lost. We believe that all
dying in infancy are included in the
election Of grace and are regenerated
and saved by Christ, through the spirit,
who works where and how he
pleases."
For section six. chapter XIV the
following is substituted: 1.-THE lord,
Jesus Christ. is the only head of the
church and the claim of any man to be
the vicar of Christ and the head of the
church is unscriptural and without war
rant in fact and is an usurpation dis
honoring to the Lord, Jesus Christ.
After the adoption of the revision,
Chairman Van Dyke said he wished to
make it clear and especially did he
wish to say "to the brethren of the
press that this revision does not mean
the Presbyterian church has changed
her base one inch, but it does mean
she has broadened and strengthened
her foundations.

n1oNiochJ huy oV'
A law of interest to laboring men
who belong to small associations like
the Union Mutual Health and Accident
association of Washington, was enact
ed by the last Legislature. 1t prohibits
accident and health insurance without
a license. Heretofore, so far as crimi-
nal statutes are concerned, a few per-
sons could organize among themselves
to furnish accident and health insur-
ance and adopt a name, and while the
name would indicate that it was
mutual affair, it really was organized
for the benefit Of the few persons who
organized it. Accident and health in
surance certificates would be sold
among the laboring men and the poor
or class of people very cheaply and
after large amount had been paid in
the company would disband, after the
organizers had divided the proceeds
and left the city. There was just one
charge which could be preferred and
that was ENLIGHTENMENT on the part of
the officers of the company and the re.
sponsibility was always difficult to
place.
Such concerns have been organized
in this state at various times with the
same result-that the poor man who
had paid monthly premium for a

SCANDAL FAILS.
Mrs. S. 3. SheLdon Acquitted of Writ
ing Disparasing Letters.

Watertown, S. D., May S0.-The jury
in the Eddington-Sheld scandal case
returned a verdict for the defendant
Inc jury was banqueted by the Shell
dons and the cadet band serenated
Mrs. Sheldon. The Evans case was
dismissed and the victory for the de-
PENDANT is compete.
The suit was brought by Mrs. Rose
Eddin9ton. wife of a photographer,
and the premier soprano of Water
town, against Mrs. S. B. Sheldon, an
alto singer, for heavy damages for
libelous and scandalous letters alleged
to have been written by Mrs. Sheldon
concerning the character and sundry
and divers acts of the plaintiff. These
letters were generally addressed to
prominent citizens and members of the
Episcopal church, both parties to the
suit having been members of the
church choir.
The ground upon which the plaintiff
placed the authorship upon Mrs. Shell
don was partly upon the testimony of
c. c. Curtiss of Minneapolis, who
thinks that Mrs. Sheldon surely wrote
the hbelous letters. His evidence was
supported by several witnesses who
showed that animosity has existed be-
tween Mrs. Eddington and Mrs. Shell
don for some time and who asserted
that jealousy was the motive.
The defendant denied having writ
ten the letters and also of being jeal-
Gus or having had any i'll feeling
against Mrs. EddingtoJ Witness
after witness from the upper crust
was put on the stand to identify the
handwriting of the defendant and to
express their opinion that Mrs. Shell
don could not have written the letters.
The defense had a Mr.. Coleman of
Chicago, an expert who figured in the
Mollneux case, who. after examining
the letters, testified that in his opin.
ion the defendant could not have writ
ten them.
The sensational evidence expected
from the defense in regard to the char
acter of the plaintiff was not pro-
duced. The mass of the testimony
was dry and uninteresting and the
dense crowds which packed the court
room were disappointed.

MORE TROOPS
TO JACKSON
Lexington, May 30.-In response to
a cipher message last night it has
been decided to send more troops to
Jackson. The reason is not an
nounced.

They passed a law in Iowa last year
permitting the confinement Of con-
firmed drunkards in lunatic asylums.
1t made little stir, but within eight
months 30 alcoholic patients were I'M
der restraint and treatment. An Iowa
dispatch says that inebriafes continue
to flow into the state asylums at the
rate Of about so month, and that an
Iowa court has just ruled that their
constitutional rights are not violated
by their detention. Some Of the in
ebriates don't like to be sent up, but
the treatment they get seems to be
humane and salutary Their liquor is
stopped, and they have to work on
farms and are encouraged to improve
their habits. When they seem to be
cured they are discharged, and report
says that so far about IS per cent. Of
the cases have so resulted.

PEACH ON TULLOCH
POSTMASTER MERRIT HITS BACK
AT TRADUCER.
CHARGES CRIMINAL ACT
Says Discharged Cashier, Who Has
Raised so Foul a Smell in the De.
partment Presented False Vouchers
and Divided the Boode-Hints at
Gambling.

Washington, May 30.-Postmaster
General Payne yesterday made public
the reply of Postmaster Merritt of this
city to the Tulloch charges. Merits
response makes serious accusations
against Former Cashier Tulloch of the
Washington postoffice, saying that =
transaction in which Tulloch was con-
cerned in 1898 appears to compre-
bend the presentation of a false
voucher. which is made a crime by
the statutes" Merits reply further
alleges receipts were signed in blank
on the pay rolls during Tulloch's re-
gime as cashier and the files do not in
dictate and complaint of irregulari-
ties against the Washington postoffice
filed by Tulloch while he was in
office. Merritt says the general
practice of giving employees seemingly
incompatible with their positions is
no abuse and the practice of paying
certain expenses of the postoffice de-
partment out of the Washington city
postoffice funds has always existed
is thus told by Merit:
Before / became postmaster one of
the employees of the postoffice was
suspended from duty from May 5 to
June 3, 1898, without pay, without any
reason on record, as far as / have
learned, and without any departmental
authority. Tulloch. the cashier, re-
tanned this mans pay for the time
stated, amounting to $140, against his
protest, | am told obtaining his sig
nature to the customary form on the
pay roll, however and then sent the
account to the auditor for the post
o9ice department as though payment
had actually been made The cashier
probably had the postmaster's order
to do this, and it seems he did not
make personal use of the money. But
the transaction appears nevertheless
to comprehend the presentation of 4
false voucher, which is made a crime
by section 54S3 of the revised statutes
OF the United States The money thus
unlawfully taken was divided by the
cashier or by his direction among a
number of persons, upon orders signed
IN the name of the postmaster by his
assistant, though in one case no
order has been found"
Postmaster Merritt, speaking of his
removal of Tulloch almost at once
! after he became postmaster declares
lie removal was no mistake and for
the reason therefore says that James
p. Willett, his predecessor told him
the accounts for the last quarter were
in tangled condition, that his
cashier should not have left them in
such a condition, but Tulloch refused
Ito assist in Strengthening them out I'M
less he was paid $500 therefor. Upon
Merrit's advice Willett rejected this
and Tulloch never gave any aid.
Merritt charges Tulloch with being
arbitrary in maner, that he occupied
much time with important private
business and was an "adventuresome
nan in the field of speculation

The situation all over western Iowa
