SOMETHING WRONG
Books of St. Joe OvefhauIed
With Astonishing Results.

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, Sept. 24.-The
report of the expert accountant who
have been working on the books of the
city, under the direction of Mayor John
V. Starr, has astonished the citizens OF
st. Joseph. The period under investi-
cation is from January, 1901, to March
81 last. The report alleges that hun
dreds of receipts for vouchers for war
rants issued by the city are missing,
the total amounting to $22,S56. Paid
vouchers for nearly $1,50O show no ap-
proval by the council and there is no
record for contracts for street work
aggregating thousands of dollars
Neither is there verifcaticn of saloon
licenses, nor of the fees collected. Hun
dreds of license stubs are missing.
Warrants paid by the city treasurer
that do not bear the Endorsement Of
the mayor exceed $4,000, and there ap-
pears to be no record of special assess
ments. The books of the treasurer
show no remittances for several
months, while disbursements for loans
and interest of the city debt have been
made without the authority Of the
council.

IMPORTED DLABORERS
Action to Be Taken Against
American Textile Company.

PAWTUCKET, r. L, Sept. 24.-Al-
though Charles w. Shepard, manager
of the American Textile company, re-
fused to comment today on the dis
patch from Washington stating that
the commissioner of immigration pro-
posed to take action against him on
charges involving the alien contract
labor law, it is understood he will con-
tend that, as laborers formerly inn
ported by him were at first detained
by the immigration authorities and
later released and allowed to enter his
employ, a precedent has been estab-
lished which applies to the cases now
under investigation.
It is stated that thirty-e eight lace
makers from France and England have
been employed In the works Of the
American Textile company for some
time without interference. The first
trouble arose some thirty weeks ago,
when these employees went out on
strike and an attempt was made to fill
their places with other foreigners. 1t
is alleged that the strikers furnished
the immigration authorities with the
information that led to the arrest of the
three men among the few still in the
employ of the company.
The specific charges upon which the
prosecution against Mr.. Shepard will
be based are: First, bringing laborers
to the United States to take the place
of striking textile workers in violation
of the alien contract labor law; second,
of resisting government officers in the
discharge of their duties; third, Of
bringing accusations against immigra-
ton officers to the effect that they are
bribe- takers.

ATTACKED A CONSUL
Man That Nicholson Pitched
Into Was German Official.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 24.-At
the navy department today the fact
was learned that "the aged civilian"
whom Assistant Paymaster Richworth
Nicholson recently attacked at pub
lie ball at Chefoo, China, was the
German consul at that place. Nichol
son, who was said to be drunk at the
time, was convicted by court-martial
and sentenced to a reduction of five
numbers in grade. Rear Admiral Ev-
ans, in his review of the findings, Sc
verely arraigned the court for the in
adequate sentence imposed.
The German consul did not formally
report the matter to his government
supposing Nicholson would be properly
punished by the American court. It
is reported that the officers who COM
posed the court will protest to the
navy department against Admiral Ev
ans arraignment of their conduct. No
such protest has reached the depart
ment, but the Associated Press can
say on high authority that the conduct
of Assistant Paymaster Nicholson is a
source of modification to the navy de-
partment officials, and that the action
of Admiral Evans in arraigning the
court for what is considered its in
adequate sentence is heartily approved.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Sept 24.-A
most remarkable case OF the finding of
a lost article is reported from Rock
vile, Stearfls county. lady of the
village had occasion to visit her refrig-
orator in quest of some article of diet
and discovered that the ice was en-
tirely gone. Something in the bottom
of the zinc-lined ice tank arrested her
attention and on drawing it forth it
proved to be her husbands gold watch.
The finding of the watch under such
circumstances would be peculiar in any
instance, but more remarkable still,
this particular watch had been lost
last winter by the, woman's husband
while hunting rabbits near Grand lake.
a nearby body of water.
The only explanation that can be Of
fered is that the watch was lost on the
ice and snow of the lake and became
imbedded in the ice. and was later re-
moved sealed up in O cake of ice to the
family ice house. Here il awaited it's
turn at the refrigerator and with it's

safe resting places 8to be at last found
by its owner. Thestime piece was ap-
parently in good condition, having fail
ed to run down. most probably from
the cold, and when found, after a, few
minutes handling. started licking again

FARMERS MAKE NO
RADICAL DEMANDS
But Their Congress Pronounces
Against Trusts and for Reel
procity With Canada.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Sept "a
The Farmers National congress closed
its annual meeting here tonight. The
farmers will not urge much national
legislation this year, contenting them
selves with generalities. Resolutions
favoring the extension of rural free
delivery and the parcels post system,
postal telegraph system and a postal
savings bank were adopted The ad-
mission of Oklahoma as a state is fa-
vored by the congress. other resolu-
tions adopted were: Favoring a class
ified enumeration of farms and farm
products every five years; recommend
ing that each state pay the expenses
of delegates to the congress-; favoring
the adoption of the referendum, the
election of United States senators by
direct vote and the sending of a set of
five delegates to the coming meeting of
the National Civic Federation at Chi
cago.
An anti-trust resolution was also put
through after much deliberation. The
resolution was mild calling for stricter
legislation against trusts and the en-
forcement of existing laws against
them A resolution favoring reciproc-
ity with Canada was killed, and the
question of ship subsidy found no
supporters.
Two important papers were read to-
day, the first by Prof. f. M. Webster,
of Urbana, Ill, on Insect Pests" Prof.
Webster said that the loss each year by
insects eating farm products was
greater than the loss by fire in the
United States, and he urged that more
attention be paid the subject.
Prof. Frank Parsons, of Boston uni
versity, read a paper on "The History
of the Governmental Ownership of
Public Utilities" He thought govern
ment ownership was gaining ground,
and said that the United States was
more backward in this direction than
any other country.
The next meeting will probably be
held at Milwaukee, Wis. The question
will be settled by the executive COM

CIVIL POWER is
ABOVE MILITARY
Cripple Creek Judge Orders
Four Soldier Prisoners Turn
ed Over to Civil Authorities.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col. Sept. 24.-In
the district court today Judge Seeds
overruled the motion to cancel writs
of habeas corpus In the cases of four
military prisoners and ordered the
prisoners turned over to the civil au-
thorities. Judge Seeds said that he
could not subscribe to the doctrine ad-
vanced by the respondent that the
military was supreme and not amen
able to the court because to do SO
would mean to overthrow free govern
ment and substitute a monarchy The
court said that the question involved
was:
Does the executive order calling
troops constitute a justification of the
arrest? He held that civil law had
been overthrown in Teller county and
no evidence had been presented that
law breakers would not be prosecuted
and punished by the civil authorities.
Judge Seeds also strongly rebuked
the presence of the troops in the court
room.
Counsel for the prisoners were not
present when the decision was rem
dered. Counsel declined to obey the
decision of the court Gov. Peabody
will instruct him to turn the prisoners
over to the civil authorities The four
prisoners were brought into court this
afternoon, guarded by thirty-five SOL

BULGARIANS HAVE
NO FATHIN TURKS
All Hope OF Good Results From the MosIem Promises
ofReform Has Disappeared and War Is REGARDED the
Sole Possible Solution of the Macedonian Problem
Military Situation to Remain Unchanged.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept 24-Perfect
tranquility, almost approaching apathy,
prevails throughout Bulgaria. There
is not the slightest outward evidence
that the country is on the verge of
war. Even in military circles there is
no excitement, though unceasing prep
aration is going on. The reports en-
anatlng from Turkish quarters that the
government is in danger of being car
r1ed away by popular excitement and
that Bulgaria is likely to take the first
hostile steps may be regarded as ridic-
ulous inventions. 1t is, however, a
fact that all hope of good results from
the Turkish promises of reform has
long disappeared and the feeling is
growing that war is the sole solution
to the Macedonian problem, the only
question being whether 1t will come
this autumn or be postponed until
spring.
Preparations for the mobilization of
the Bulgarian army have been carried
out with singular completeness as to
detail and declaration of war will find
the Bulgarians sufficiently prepared.
The equipment for the soldiers is
ready.
The details of atrocities by the Turk
ish troops in Monastir daily reaching
the Bulgarian government equal and
even exceed those already published.
The imperial Ottoman commissioner
has informed the Bulgarian govern
ment that the sultan has promulgated
an trade sanctioning the programme of
reform which is to be carried out by a
mixed commission and that he has
deputed Hilma Pasha to superintend
the execution of the programme with
orders to suspend the persecution of
the Bulgarians. AS no indication is
given concerning the constitution of
the proposed mixed commission or as
to an amnesty of political offenders
demanded by Bulgaria, there is no dis
position here to believe that the nego-
tiations will be effective.
The belief prevails tonight that 1t is
unlikely that any great development in
the military situation will OCCUR before
the general elections In October are
concluded.

A MOONSHINE CAMP.
Crusaders Hold Services in Illicit Still

PRESTONBURG, Ky.s Sept. 24.-Col.
Holtz, the Salvation Army leader, and
his band, when travelling today along
the highway, inquired If there was
church or school house where they
might stop and do some evangelistic
work. A woman told them that down
in the. creek bottom they would find a
crowd of men. The little cavalry band
wended its way down the side of the
bluff until it saw the men working
about a small log house. They were
surprised at two shots being fired. and
then to see men running in different
directions.
A guide soon explained the situation.
1t was a "moonshine'' still, and the
shots were fired as a warning to the
operators. The Salvation Army men
fastened to explore the place. After
being insured that the intruders were
not revenue men, the operators were
persuaded to come back and show the
visitors how the@hquor was made.
After the investigation the Saliva
s tienists held religious services, and
some of the moonshiners joined in the
singing.

MELLFN DISCUSSES
NORTHERN PACIFIC
In Connection With Presenta-
ton of Annual Report He
Tells What Has Been Done
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, Sept. "a. = President
Mellen's remarks to the directors of
the Northern Pacific in connection
with the presentation of the annual re-
port, made public today, are lengthy.
He. declares prevailing business condi-
tions are as favorable as last year. Re-
garding the Burlington he says:
THE results of the year from the op-
Grafton of the Burlington system in the
stock of which your company is owner
of half interest have been highly sat
isfactory. The expected advantages to
your company and to the communities
served by it from the acquisition of it's
holdings in this property are being
realized. These holdings have not re-
quired the making of any advances by
your company during the year; no con-
sideration has therefore been given the
same in the figures presented in this
report"
Regarding extensions Mr.. Mellen re-
ports: Seventy per cent of stock and
all of the Indebtedness from the Min
nesota & International are owned by
your company. The extension to Bart
ley Lake will be completed during the
present fiscal year, including further
extension to the north bank of the Big
Fork river. The construction of
branches or extensions aggregating 291
miles has been authorized and will be
completed during the present fiscal
year"
Mr.. Mellen discusses expenditures
rather fully, giving the cost of better
ment and enlargements in detail. The
aggregate is over $S,OOO.OOO, nearly $4,-
100000 being paid tor equipment. This
was all expended from the income.
