AFTER The FACTS
Moody Wants,FulI Particulars of
johnson Assassination.
Nay Lead to Drastic Action in
San Domingo.

Washington, Feb. 6.-"Send full par
ticulars about assassination of john
son." is the substance of a cablegram
which Secretary Moody today dispatch
ed to Commander Lewis c. Helner,
commanding the gunboat Yankee at
Santo Domingo City. When the de-
tails of the assassination of Engineer
Johnson, of the Yankee, have arrived
the secretary will then be in position
to give specific instructions as to the
course to be followed. Deliberation
will be observed in the handling of the
situation.
If the press dispatches are confirmed
the naval commanders will be instruct
ed to demand and obtain the fullest
PREPARATION. Nor will they stop with
this. Before the American warships
leave Dominican waters the inhabitants
will have been made to know that the
Washington governments patience has
been exhausted, and the menacing of
American life and property must cease
or the people of the island stand the
consequences. What additional war
ships shall go to San Domingo will be
decided when the official detailed report
has arrived.

NO MORE MONEY IN
THE BRIDGE
FUND
MORE THAN 100000 EXPENDED
SINCE LAST SPRINGS FLOODS.
Monthly Statement of the Cash in
Treasury--What Was Spent for
Maintaining the Poor.

No more money can be paid out Of
the bridge fund in Stark county for
the reason that 1t is not there to pay
out. After the disastrous floods of
last spring the county commissioners
issued $4,000 Of emergency bonds,
and this money, together with the reg
ular bridge fund, has been exhausted
and the repairs are not yet all made.
During the summer over 100000 has
been expended and there is outstand-
ing bills for bridge repairs amounting
to several thousand dollars. These
will have to wait until the fund Is re-
plenished in the regular way, as the
auditor refused to allow any over
drafts.
Under the new law the auditor is
required to make out a monthly state
ment of the amount of money with
which the treasurer stands charged
and that for September was made ou1
yesterday. AT the beginning of Octo
Der the books showed that there was
$145,229.94 in the treasury. There is
but one ovcrdraft, and that is fol
5000 in the judicial fund.
The report made out to send to the
state board OF charities, showing the
amount of money expended in Starl
county for relief of the poor, as made
out By Auditor Oberlin, shows the
sum Of $37,15S, Of which amount Sc,
457 went to the inHrmary directors fol
per diem and expenses.
