THE PULAJANES.

MANILA, Aug. 14.-Governor Ide re-
turned to Manila today after a confer
ence at Tacloban. island of Leyte, Au-
gust u, with Major General Wood.
Brigadier General Lee, Governor Bevey-
ia, fifteen Presidentes and Colonel Tay-
lor Of the Constabulary. The Presi-
dentes promised to support the Amer
lean authorities and to furnish infor-
nation leading to the determination of
the PulaJanes.
There are various causes for the pres
ent conditions of Pulajanism in the
island of Leyte, dating to the Spanish
times. The disarming of the municipal
police by Governor Deveyra, his poIit-
ical opponents assert, caused the recent
disturbances.
Governor Ide has decided to appoint
a commission, consisting of Governor
DeVeyra, Brigadier General Lee, Lieu
tenant Taylor and three Presidentes to
visit the disaffected districts and i'm
press them with the necessity of sup
porting the movement to exterminate
the Pulajanes.
A special term Of court has been or
dered at Tacloban to try the prisoners

ported killed August 9 by hostile Pula-
james was Arthur T. Williams. His

FOREIGN CAPITAL

PITTSBURG, Aug. 14-Papers will
be filed at Harrisburg this week
which viii constitute tie formal an
nouncement of a project of prominent
foreign bankers associated with JOS
of the Wabash Railroad, to build a
New York to Chicago by way of
Pittsburg, which will cost about
S150.000, 600. Complete surveys have
been made, and it is expected that
work preliminary to actual grading
and construction next spring will be-
gin this fall 1t is expected that the
road will require three years TO
construct It is contemplated TO op-
crate with electric locomotives from
the beginning 1t will be known
as the New York, Pittsburg and Chi
cago Air Line, and will be 81 miles
shorter to New York than the Penn
sylvania and 103 miles shorter than
the shortest line between New York
and Chicago. It will traverse the
bituminous coal fields of Central
Pennsylvania, now controlled by the
Pennsylvania, and Will also pierce the
anthracite region throughout its
length. 1t will not only be the short
est line through Pennsylvania, but IT
will cross the summit of the Allie
gheny Mountains 400 feet lower than
the Pennsylvania and Will have very
easy curves and remarkably low
grades for a mountain line.
Mr.. Ramsay himself is authority for
this news.

QUESTIONS THE CLAIM.
Statement That Relief Lumber Went
Into Graney's Shop.

The claim Of the HARDWOOD Lumber
Company before the Relief Corporation
has a queer Endorsement from the ex-
amining clerk. The latter charges that
$230.49 worth of the lumber for which
the Relief Corporation is asked to pay
went to build Eddie Graney's black
smith shop at the corner of Van Ness
avenue and Market street, and that
some of the lumber was used by the
Deneen Building Company. The mem
orandum reads as follows:
$230.49 of this claim is for the lum-
Der used~ in the construction of the
blacksmith shop of Edmund Graney on
Van Ness avenue and Market street
(see Captain Aultman's letter at
tached), sufficient lumber for two
shacks as per requisition of Captain
Aultman, u. S. A. Captain Scott gave

TOES ASCENDED.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14-When the
Kaiser Wilhelm II, which arrived today.
was nearing Sandy Hook, Anna Held
participated in a concert given in the
saloon and danced a skirt dance that
gave offense to several clergymen on
board. When Miss Held lifted her toes
ceilingward they hastily left the saloon
and protested to the ships officers. They
declared that a steamer was no place
ID give such an exhibition. They did
not, however. officially protest to Cap
tain Nierich, and the captain said he
did not hear of the incident until the
concert was practically over.
Miss Held has been studying abroad
for two years. She will appear in a
new play, The Partisan Model" in this
city about November She calls the
new dance which gave offense to the
ministers, and which she Will introduce
tc the American public, the MAT

Nf1E claim OF H. f. ReValk & Co.
of 1771 Union street for type
writer supplies furnished on the
score of relief is causing con-
siderable comment at relief headquar-
ters. Not because of lack of indorse-
ment. for the claim comes well recon-
mended, bearing the 80. K" of Angelo
Byrne, official stenograpner of the Po-
lice Department, but because of the
items it contains.
Among these items are twenty-five
and a half dozen typewriter ribbons,
131 dozen typewriter erasers, 96 dozen
pencils, 1900 sheets carbon, and forty
four shorthand books. The claim totals
tS102450. The comment of the examiner
noted on the document is: Needs in
vestigation. Enough ribbons and eras-
ers to do an army of typewriters.''
Accompanying the claim is a letter
from Byrne to r. E. Revalk & Co. In
this Byrne states that the supplies
were taken from the firm, but refuses
to pass upon their value. Mr.. Byrne
says:
In reply to your communication of
June Is shall state that L sent your
bill to the finance committee with the
Endorsement goods received; know
nothing about prices [ could no moth
ing more than this I never made a
speciality of the typewriting supply
business and was therefore incompe-
tent to pass upon their value. I had
the supplies sent to headquarters by
you, carefully checked and found that
1t tailed with your itemized state
ment."
The committee has approved this
claim for $500. 1t is understood that
the firm is not satisfied with the
award.
At relief headquarters yesterday it
was found that $500 worth of the ma
! terial taken from Revalk & Co. is still
on hand. 1t may be returned TO them.
The Relief Corporation is intent upon
rounding up typewriters. Just how
many the corporation should have is
not definitely known, but the number
| is large. The work has been turned
over to Samuel Snapper, who says that
sixty-eight have already been account
ed for, and that he expects to land at
| least twenty-five more. Mr.. Snapper
will continue his quest today in an
automobile.

Rudolph Spreckels has completed the
Board of Health budget. He has sue
ceeded in reducing it from $4,000 to
s27, 609. Mr.. Spreckels has cut out a
number of laborers, pharmacists and
surgeons. on the theory that they are
unnecessary or that their proposed
work is already covered. The demand
for s275 for buggy hire Is denied, as is
the allowance for ambulance service.
This last is done on the theory that the
city should provide such service.
The principal change in the budget
is the taking over by the Relief Cor
poration of the purchase of equipment
This is done that title in the property
may remain in the corporation. When
the city can afford the purchase it is

Chicago Traction Expert TO Use Novel
Means to Compel Use of
Clean Carriers,

CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-Dr. Maurice J.
Doty, traction expert for the Mayor,
has a brand new scheme for convicting
the traction companies on charges of
maintaining dirty" cars.
When a case was brought against
the companies IT resulted in a wild
conflict of testimony and Doty lost his
case. Now DIR. Doty says he will fall
back on the microbes. Specialists will
be asked to gather specimens from the
cars, and these will be labeled and
boxed until the trial
When the typnoid fever germs,
tuberculosis bacteria, scarlet fever
microbes and specimens of the mites
that spread influenza and epizootic are
placed on the stand the doctor believes
he will get a verdict.

HELPLESS AT SPEEDWAY.
Infirm People to Be Removed From
Alamo and DubOce Squares.

The campers at Alamo and Duboce
squares who are found not to be self
supporting are to be removed to the
camp at the speedway. This decision
was arrived at when it was found that
the. two squares are without soup
kitchens, and is taken to avoid further
distribution of uncooked food. Those
who can support themselves will be
permitted to remain in their tents and
no rations will be issued to them.
The plan is along the lines of that
suggested by Rudolph Spreckels some
time ago to concentrate in one camp
all who depended on the soup kitchens
